A Demon’s Journey - Chapter 401

“It’s not exactly a new target. We already asked you to target this individual and paid a heavy price earlier. However, the beasts you sent weren’t up to the mark for this task,” the envoy spoke with a calm tone.

Even though he talked to the Cyan Leopard, the Beast Lord of the Leopard Race, he remained calm.

The Cyan Leopard was lying on the branch of a tree. Its slitted pupil eyes widened slightly as it focused on the envoy standing on the ground.

The other leopards didn’t exactly understand what this envoy had spoken, but they felt that it was a statement that disturbed their Beast Lord.

All of them suddenly growled at the envoy and showed hostile looks on their faces. If not for the Cyan Leopard’s order to be on standby, they would have already pounced on him.

The envoy wasn’t scared or terrified of these leopards. It wasn’t the first time he had come here as a diplomat. He was more or less used to this scene.

The Cyan Leopard suddenly opened its mouth and spoke, “You mean that point where I sent nearly hundreds of beasts, but they were all massacred!”

“Human, you should not mistake my silence as my weakness! There is a huge difference between the price you paid and our price! It’s a lot that I am not pursuing you regarding that matter.”

“As you say, Beast Lord. However, the fact remains that the warriors in that location remain unharmed. They are becoming a thorn to the Night Mountain Sect. However, our sect has other more important matters to deal with, so we are leaving them to you and your Leopard Race.” The envoy spoke respectfully. He wasn’t going to aggravate the Cyan Leopard any further.

“That would depend on the price you pay. Is it great enough to motivate us to make a move personally or not?” The Cyan Leopard asked quite coldly.

Anyone could see that the Cyan Leopard was reluctant to personally make a move. The Cyan Leopard didn’t want its Leopard Race to suffer any damage or injuries.

That was the reason it used the other races. However, although the Cyan Leopard could command the other races, its commands had their limit.

The Cyan Leopard couldn’t command the other beast lords to go and fight some humans. If these beast lords wanted to, they would go. Otherwise, they would send their subordinates and wait behind in their territory.

If the Leopard Race became weaker or their numbers dropped, the Bear Race or the Steel Blood Alligator Race might march against the Leopard Race.

Thus, the Cyan Leopard was not ready to take this risk.

After all, their opponent was the Black Lake Sect. Even though the beasts greatly looked down on the humans for their weak physique and spirit, they still had to admit that humans were very proficient in using that tiny bit of strength.

Humans also possessed many tricks and secret techniques that could help them deal with other races, such as those Alchemy Pellets, Array Formations, or secret techniques that used their life force, and so on.

The envoy smiled at the question and spoke out, “Naturally, we can afford that price.”

The turquoise ring on the envoy’s finger flashed with a bright greenish light before a small tooth appeared in his hand.

From the shape and size of this tooth, it was clearly the tooth of a Red Flame Wolf. However, it possessed an ancient aura that directly acted on all the Leopards in this area.

As time spread, the aura also affected the beasts in the nearby regions, and their attention turned towards the Leopard Race’s Territory.

They could sense that this aura belonged to a Beast that possessed an Ancient Bloodline. Moreover, the rank of this Ancient Bloodline wasn’t low!

The Cyan Leopard immediately jumped on the ground as it stared at the envoy with a hostile look in its eyes. It was planning to pounce at this envoy and steal the tooth in his hand.

The Night Mountain Sect’s envoy sensed that hostile intention from the Cyan Leopard and spoke with a calm expression, “This aura you sense belongs to the Sabertooth Tiger from the ancient era. However, the tooth in my hand belongs to a Red Flame Wolf. We affixed a bit of the Sabertooth Tiger’s aura to the Red Flame Wolf’s Tooth to make you believe us. We are going to offer you a tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger if you deal with our target.”

“However, if you attack me now, you can forget about ever receiving the tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger,” finished the envoy with a smile on his face.

An arrogant smile displayed his confidence as he faced the entire Leopard Race.

Soon, the other beasts appeared in that location and stared at the human envoy with curious expressions.

The Cyan Leopard spoke out, “Very well. We accept your deal. However, if you go back on your words, the Beast Race will trample on the Night Mountain Sect!”

All the beasts let out loud roars of agreement. Even though the envoy knew they wouldn’t attack him, he was still quite terrified at this moment.

There were so many beasts around him that he couldn’t even count them all.

However, he mustered his courage to display a calm attitude and spoke, “The target’s name is Azaroth. He belongs to the camp situated on the west side of this location. His camp is the first one that you would encounter. Make sure to kill him and all his comrades.”

“Very well. We have a deal,” The Cyan Leopard spoke with a confident tone.

In reality, the Cyan Leopard was too excited after hearing about the Tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger. For this reason, it didn’t even think too much and agreed to the deal. The Cyan Leopard was worried that the Night Mountain Sect would realize how precious this Sabertooth Tiger’s Tooth is and change their mind.

The Cyan Leopard knew that if it acquired that tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger, it could use the aura of that Sabertooth Tiger to advance to the 6 Star Rank.

Unlike the humans, the beasts didn’t need to gain insight into the world’s laws to advance to the 6 Star Rank.

The Beasts possessed an instinctive knowledge of the laws within their bloodline. Thus, their task was to make their Ardor stronger and purify their bloodline.

The Cyan Leopard couldn’t advance to the next rank because of its impure bloodline. However, the Sabertooth Tiger’s aura would stimulate the blood within the Cyan Leopard’s Body and transform it.

The process would be considered slow according to human standards. However, it was an extremely quick method to advance to the next rank to the beast. They had to spend a lot of time in a single rank unless they possessed a strong bloodline.

The Cyan Leopard was sure that after acquiring that Tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger, it would require just one year to elevate to the 6 Star Rank Beast and become a Beast King!

However, this wasn’t all. If the Cyan Leopard managed to convince the spirit within the Tooth of the Sabertooth Tiger, it could replace one of its canines with that tooth!

Cyan Leopard would then acquire a strong bloodline ability of the Sabertooth Tiger. This tooth would raise its biting ability to another level. The Cyan Leopard was sure that even the tough shell of the Dark Tortoise Race would be unable to resist against that tooth’s offensive ability.

The envoy soon left the area while the Cyan Leopard gathered all the beasts in the area.

All the Beast Lords from the different races went to a secluded location and held a long discussion.

After the long discussion, they concluded that the Cyan Leopard would hold onto the Sabertooth Tiger’s Tooth.

Naturally, this wasn’t because they were terrified of angering the Cyan Leopard. All of them wanted this tooth. But these beasts knew that they couldn’t utilize that tooth since they didn’t belong to the feline family.

The Leopard Race was the strongest Beast Race within this forest. And it was the Beast Race that belonged to the feline family.

The Cyan Leopard promised these Beast Lords that he would share the Ancient Sabertooth Tiger’s Aura to stimulate their bloodlines.

These beasts would also have a chance of becoming the Beast Kings. Thirty Beast Kings would suddenly appear among them within a single year.

At that moment, the Night Mountain Sect and the Origin Sect combined couldn’t deal with these Beasts.

The Red Crown Sect would need to get involved and deal with these beasts, or else these beasts would lay waste to many towns and cities of the Glerian Kingdom.
