When the other great clans saw Chu Qinghuang's several contracted beasts, they were utterly shocked. After all, a Qingluan, the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, and the Shengyuan Heavenly Spirit Vine were each treasures practically unheard of in this world, yet all three now belonged to Chu Qinghuang. If the current situation hadn't been so terribly grim, these treasures would surely have sparked greed and plundering.
Watching their numbers dwindle, Patriarch Shangguan never expected things to turn out this way. He had anticipated that today's coordinated strike would wipe out at least half of these clans, but now, whether they themselves could even get out alive was another question. "Exalted One, the situation is looking bad. Perhaps we should make a tactical retreat? Your subordinate will fight to the death to escort you back to the Demon Realm."
The Demon Lord gazed deeply at Feng Qingmu and Chu Qinghuang. If not for these two today, their forces would have been more than enough to overturn every clan here—a victory that would have greatly aided their conquest of the Wuling Continent. He had never expected to fall short of complete success, stumbling precisely in their hands.
