Chapter 668 Delay
The Phoenix Clan Chief hurriedly asked, "Where is that fish tank now?"
He stared directly at the White Tiger Clan Chief, his eyes sharp.
The three clan leaders, Qilin, Xuanwu, and Zhuque, all looked at the White Tiger clan leader with burning eyes.
Where's the baby dragon? Did you hide it?
The White Tiger Clan Chief looked helpless. "I want to too!"
He sighed, "To tell you the truth, Si Lang, following Jiang Xianzi's instructions, placed the fish tank in Qingling Lake. When I learned of this, I immediately rushed to Qingling Lake, but the fish tank had already been taken away!"
Everyone's expression changed. "Who is it?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief said, "I sensed a trace of the lingering aura of the human race in the lake."
The Qilin clan chief was horrified: "Humans? How were they able to enter our clan's forbidden area?"
The Phoenix Clan Chief seemed to understand something: "Jiang Xianzi?"
The Xuanwu clan chief said slowly, "That should be the case. After Silang put the fish tank into the lake, Jiang Xianzi arrived immediately and took the fish tank out."
The Qilin clan chief exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Xianzi escaped so quickly? And arrived at Qingling Lake right after Si Lang?"
He looked incredulous. Could the Demon Emperor's Spirit-Locking Maze and the 20,000 demon soldiers outside the valley be just for show?
The White Tiger Clan Chief nodded: "I immediately rushed to Mist Spirit Valley, but Fairy Jiang had vanished without a trace. However, the Snow Wolf King seems to know nothing about it!"
The Phoenix Clan Chief asked incredulously, "How did she manage to do that?"
"I have a question."
The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief frowned. "If Fairy Jiang was able to escape unnoticed without alerting the demon soldiers outside the valley, why did she still ask Si Lang to send that fish tank out of Mist Spirit Valley?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief said, "Based on our guess, that fish tank is actually a Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle."
“That’s not right either,” the Vermilion Bird Clan Chief shook his head. “The reason why humans craft the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle is precisely to carry things that are inconvenient to carry with them.”
For example, a mountain, a lake.
The White Tiger Clan Chief was speechless.
He didn't understand why Jiang Li was so serious about asking Si Lang to send the fish tank out of the valley. Couldn't he take it with him?
"Perhaps Fairy Jiang has other reasons?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief waved his hand, "Let's put that aside for now. I suspect that Fairy Jiang's successful escape is related to her husband, True Lord Chonghua!"
"True Lord Chonghua?"
The Qilin clan chief was shocked. "He's come to the Demon Realm too? How did he get in?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief sighed, "We've overlooked something. When Fairy Jiang was abducted on her wedding day, the Sword Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and even her husband, True Monarch Chonghua, seemed to have no reaction. Is that normal?"
The Phoenix Clan Chief nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, if it were us, we would have already attacked!"
How can one swallow such an insult when their bride is stolen on their wedding day?
The White Tiger Clan Chief smiled slightly: "How do you know he didn't come to kill us?"
Everyone was horrified.
So the reason why the elders of the Sword Sect and the Beast Taming Sect have remained silent is because they know that True Monarch Chonghua has already infiltrated the Demon Realm and may have even reunited with Jiang Li!
The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief looked utterly incredulous. "Jiang Xianzi was abducted by the Left Protector's Shadow Sting using her 'Domain.' After entering the Profound Realm, she was trapped within the Spirit-Locking Maze set up by the Demon Emperor. How exactly did True Monarch Chonghua get in? And how could he find Jiang Xianzi so quickly?"
They were all baffled. The process of Shadow "transporting" Jiang Li was almost a closed loop with no loopholes. Where exactly did things go wrong?
The Xuanwu clan chief then said slowly, "What we should be more concerned about now is whether the Demon Emperor will take his anger out on us if he discovers that Fairy Jiang is missing, or whether he will suspect that we are involved?"
The White Tiger clan, in particular, who were the last to appear at the "crime scene," will be the prime suspects!
The White Tiger Clan Chief sighed deeply: "How could I not know? The reason I invited you all here today is to discuss whether we should pretend to be completely unaware and continue to send people to guard the entrance of Mist Spirit Valley?"
The Phoenix Clan Chief resolutely replied, "The divine beast clans are of one blood and should naturally help each other. We must not let the White Tiger Clan bear this blame alone! Let's continue!"
All the clan leaders agreed, and the Qilin clan then sent their members to take turns guarding the entrance to Mist Spirit Valley.
As for the matter of the Demon Emperor bestowing the title of concubine upon the women of their clan, they had long since forgotten about it.
The Demon Queen has run away, so the wedding ceremony is bound to fall through. We can't just follow the example of mortals and have the Demon King and the rooster get married, can we?
The next day, the Demon Emperor discovered that Jiang Li had disappeared.
He sent a skilled weaver from the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons to the Valley of Mist to tailor a phoenix robe for the Demon Queen.
Although this weaver was not a noblewoman, she had an exceptional skill in weaving, producing garments that were as light as a feather and as vibrant as clouds, thus holding a high position in the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Moreover, she has an extremely accurate eye; with just one glance, she can know the size of the other person.
On this day, the weaver girl, carrying the thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk bestowed by the Demon Emperor, headed towards the Misty Spirit Valley, surrounded by several attendants.
"Who is coming?"
The Snow Wolf King appeared at the valley entrance and asked in a stern voice.
The weaver bowed respectfully: "This humble weaver is ordered by His Majesty to sew a phoenix robe for Her Highness the Demon Queen. Please, General Snow Wolf, lead the way."
The Snow Wolf King cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty has given the order, I will obey without question, but the necessary procedures must still be followed."
He waved his hand, "Men, search them!"
The weaver girl's pretty face turned red with anger, but facing 20,000 demon soldiers with their swords and blades gleaming, she could only swallow her anger and let several demon soldiers grope her and her followers.
"Reporting to the general, there is nothing being concealed."
The Snow Wolf King said expressionlessly, "Weaver Girl, please!"
He led the way with his head held high, heading into the Misty Spirit Valley.
The Kirin Gentleman, who was on duty here, appeared at the valley entrance, "Wait!"
He smiled and said, "For the safety of Her Majesty the Demon Queen and Her Highness the Young Prince, we must also conduct a search."
The weaver looked up and saw that the young man in front of her was dressed in a plain robe with flowing clouds and gold patterns. His face was as bright as the moon, his eyebrows were slanted, and he was surrounded by a faint auspicious aura. He was handsome and refined, and also had the unique majesty of a divine beast.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes sparkling, and she gracefully bowed, saying, "The Divine Lord commands, and this servant dares not disobey!"
The Snow Wolf King rolled his eyes.
The young master felt a chill and gestured for the youngest member of the group to step forward and search him.
The young man reluctantly stepped forward, gave the man a perfunctory search, and quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "Nothing's wrong."
The young master nodded: "My lady, please—"
The weaver girl returned the greeting shyly: "Thank you for your trouble, God."
Accompanied by the Snow Wolf King, the group walked into the valley.
Anxiety flashed in the eyes of the Kirin Gentleman.
He wanted to search people, but actually he was just trying to buy time.
Upon seeing the arrival of the weaver girl and her group, he knew something was terribly wrong and ordered a member of his clan to rush back to the clan to fetch reinforcements.
Hopefully the clan leader can arrive soon; they can't handle the situation any longer!
