Sage Ze said, "Beiyun Prefecture is a tough nut to crack right now. Marquis Beiyun is a Great Being, and they also have Human Race figures like Qin Shujian who are practically Great Beings within the True Realm. Their strength is far from ordinary. If our Demon Clan were to make a move against them without absolute certainty, the risk would be far too great."
"Now that Xie Yingtian is dead, those Demon Clan members down below couldn't hold back and made their move. They deserved to die," sneered one of them. "Without a decree from the Heavenly Demon Palace, they acted on their own to snatch resources. Now that one or two Great Demons and Demon Kings have died, it will teach them a lesson. Some things are just for looking at—not everything is meant for you to reach out and grab."
The scouting missions by other Demon Clans had tacit approval from the Heavenly Demon Palace. But when all was said and forth, without an actual decree, such actions were unauthorized. They were more than happy to see the successive falls of the Five Elements Beast Clan previously and the Swallowing Moon Wolf Clan now. After all—there were simply too many powerful entities within the Demon Clan. Some tribes grew a couple of extra Great Demons or added one or two Demon Kings and thought they could rival the Heavenly Demon Palace.
