Chapter 172: Chapter 149: Commotion Among the Saint Tier Magical Beasts, a Giant Dragon Bursts In

The Demon Beast Mountain Range.

From the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, one had to cross nine great mountains to truly enter its core region.

Within this core region stood a terrifyingly high peak.

The peak pierced the clouds, reaching a height of at least ten thousand meters.

At this ten-thousand-meter altitude, the peak—or rather, the entire mountain range—was covered in a vast expanse of white snow.

But in this snow-white and frozen Earth Realm, atop the highest point of the peak, there was a magnificent complex of buildings.

The entire complex was incomparably grand, stretching for over ten kilometers.

It shimmered like crystal, constructed entirely from Magic Crystals.

The light of Magic Power flowed and scattered about, and its concentration had reached a terrifying peak.

At the same time, one could see large numbers of Middle-High Tier Magical Beasts inhabiting the area around this large, castle-like complex.

And this was the heart of the Demon Beasts’ power.

The location of the Demon God Hall.

At this moment, inside a spire-like building on one of the main peaks...

A closed-door council meeting of the Saint Tier Magical Beasts was underway.

"It’s been days! Heinrich, you can’t possibly think you can just play dead and sweep this under the rug, can you?"

Inside the vast, giant hall.

A humanoid creature, over ten meters tall with fang-like tusks jutting from its mouth, sat at a giant round table made of Magic Crystal. It was glaring angrily at a tall, winged woman across from it.

The winged woman, about fifteen meters tall, rested with her eyes closed, allowing the humanoid male elder opposite her to question her as he pleased.

Her attitude—as if the matter had nothing to do with her, as if she was completely ignoring him—made the Forest Giant Elephant laugh out of sheer anger.

"You stupid bird! Stop playing dead! You will give me an explanation today!"

"Everyone, you should all know how important Amos and Crimson are to our Demon Beast Mountain Range! Not to mention that these two Sub-dragons were once personally looked after by Their Majesties."

"Even if you don’t consider their great contributions, they have at least diligently guarded the Demon God Hall for thousands of years."

"What? Now that some idiots see Their Majesties no longer descend to our world, they’ve started planning to eliminate dissenters?"

"It’s them today, but will it be our turn next, us old-timers?"

The burly, humanoid elder cursed loudly!

His voice was exceptionally resonant, causing the other seven Saint Tier Magical Beasts present to fall silent for a good while.

Faced with the elder’s furious curses, the one called the ’stupid bird’ clearly couldn’t pretend to be asleep any longer.

The winged woman, the transformed Aurora Bird, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at the Forest Giant Elephant, her expression cold and indifferent.

"Quentin, stop your clumsy performance."

"Even if I was the one who did it, what are you going to do about it?"

"Besides, you have no direct evidence to prove that I was the one who did it, do you?"

At this, the Aurora Bird, Heinrich, let out a cold laugh.

"In an age where the gods are absent, the mixed-blood descendants of the Dragon Race are a significant threat to us."

"On the continent today, it’s not just us. Which of the other powers isn’t facing the same problem?"

"These Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants are ultimately outsiders. We and our descendants are the true masters here. Therefore, this problem must be solved before our lives come to an end."

Heinrich glanced around at the silent Saint Tier Magical Beasts, then continued:

"I believe many of you here share my thoughts, don’t you?"

"Even you, old elephant, haven’t you had the same idea? Otherwise, why would you have lent those two to me for this campaign against the Human Race?"

The moment Heinrich’s words fell, the Forest Giant Elephant slammed the table and shot to his feet.

"You’re full of shit!"

"Heinrich, your own thoughts are filthy! What, now you’re trying to shift the blame onto me and our colleagues here?"

"Amos and Crimson are the two strongest subordinates under my command. What, am I crazy? Would I cooperate with you to secretly harm my own people?"

"Furthermore, I knew nothing about this from start to finish! Heinrich, if you have the guts, dare to stand before the statues of Their Majesties and say for yourself when you ever told me any of this!"

The Aurora Bird glanced indifferently at the Forest Giant Elephant, then sneered.

"Quentin, we’ve known each other for no less than ten thousand years, haven’t we?"

"Enough with the useless talk. Since you’ve brought it to this point, spit it out. What kind of ’explanation’ do you want from me?"

"Or rather, what compensation do those two want from me?"

"Them managing to survive this time was indeed beyond my expectations. I miscalculated. If I had known, I would have arranged things more securely."

"But let’s leave it at that for now. It’s not too late to find another chance in the future. In fact, when the time comes, I might not even need to act. You, old fellow, might just do it yourself."

As the Aurora Bird finished speaking, the Forest Giant Elephant indeed dropped his furious act.

He snorted coldly and said, "You can cut the useless chatter too. I’m old, my hearing’s not what it used to be."

"All I know is that you, Heinrich, have made a huge mistake this time, and you must give me and them an explanation!"

"Since you’ve admitted to it now, I’ll be blunt!"

"For the sake of our many years of working together and our friendship, this time you will hand over fifteen High Tier Magic Crystal Ores to me. In addition, you need to give up five spots for the Inner Hall Magic Power Baptism."

"As for Amos and Crimson, to put it simply, you must cede authority over one mountain range and let one of them become a Beast Master."

The moment the Forest Giant Elephant finished speaking, the Aurora Bird’s eyes turned as cold as frost.

"Impossible! Quentin, don’t push it."

"At most, I will give you three High Tier Magic Crystal Ores and one baptism spot. As for those two, I can grant the power of a Beast Master, but one of them must obey my commands from now on! Otherwise, don’t even think about it!"

Hearing this, the Forest Giant Elephant’s expression turned furious:

"Heinrich!"

"What? Are you looking for a fight?"

The Aurora Bird stared coldly at the Forest Giant Elephant.

"Hmph, a fight? Don’t you try to provoke me. If you’re tired of living, you stupid bird, I can certainly oblige."

"As for this matter, how long do you all plan to just sit back and watch the show?"

"It’s not that I, Quentin, am deliberately making things difficult for this stupid bird. If this isn’t handled properly, those two Sub-dragons under my command are not going to be so easy to deal with."

"I’ll let you all in on something: if this matter doesn’t satisfy them, I believe we will soon face retaliation from the Human Race!"

"The five great Dragon Noble families of the Human Race certainly wouldn’t mind having more Sub-dragons. I’ll leave it at that. This is what they’ve disclosed to me. You should all know what this implies!"

The moment the Forest Giant Elephant finished speaking, the expressions of the other seven Saint Tier Magical Beasts in the hall froze.

"Such audacity!"

"Indeed, Heinrich was right. These mixed-bloods of the Dragon Race should have been eliminated long ago."

"You realize that now? What’s the use? Those two audacious Sub-dragons are definitely on their guard now! Perhaps the moment we mobilize our Demon Beasts, they’ll have the Dragon Race mixed-bloods from the Human Race waiting in a pre-laid trap."

"Then how do we handle it? An act tantamount to open betrayal cannot be forgiven. Since Heinrich was the one who caused this mess, let her solve it herself."

"I think that’s a good idea. Didn’t Heinrich just say she wanted to have a go with old elephant Quentin? Since she herself seems to be in a hurry to die, I imagine she wouldn’t object to dedicating her everything to the Demon God in the end, right?"

"..."

At this moment, the Saint Tier Magical Beasts could no longer remain silent.

They all spoke their minds, with three of the Saint Tier Magical Beasts even speaking sarcastically toward the Aurora Bird.

The Aurora Bird stared coldly at the three Saint Tier Magical Beasts with their hostile tones, while Forest Giant Elephant Quentin, in a complete reversal, adopted the relaxed air of a spectator watching a show.

"This matter must be handled with care."

"The cost for any one of us to act is too great!"

"And the strength of these two Sub-dragons is not something ordinary Demon Beasts can match. Perhaps a siege could solve the problem, but the Human Dragon Nobles would never just stand by and watch. After all, this is a rare opportunity for them to counterattack."

"Heinrich’s handling of this was too crude. To think she only sent two Tier Nine Magical Beasts. I say, even if she was afraid of being discovered, she should have at least secretly arranged for a few more Tier Nine Magical Beasts to follow them."

From the side of the round table, a Saint Tier Magical Beast, a Golden Beetle, spoke up.

"Perhaps we should first satisfy the demands of these two Sub-dragons while simultaneously sending someone to contact the Empire Royal Families of the Human Race."

"The threat of the Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants isn’t limited to us. I believe the Royal Families of the Three Great Human Empires are also very eager to solve the major problem of the Dragon Nobles."

"Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants, in the end, all share the Bloodline of the Dragon Race. They currently mingle among the various races of the continent, seemingly serving their respective masters. But if the day comes when the Saint Tiers of every race are on the verge of dying out, I believe these fellows would absolutely not mind uniting, or even seizing power from the various races."

"And when that day truly approaches, no race will tolerate the existence of such a powerful faction of Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants. We, and they, must ultimately consider our direct descendants."

"As for Heinrich’s move this time, I also know some of the inside story. This matter was instigated by the Human Empire’s Royal Family in the first place."

"Otherwise, do you really think those two Sub-dragons would have repeatedly encountered opponents who were also mixed-blood Dragon Nobles of the Dragon Race? If not for that, it would have been truly difficult for Heinrich to find the right opportunity this time. It’s just a pity she failed."

"I truly can’t imagine how those two survived the assault in their weakened state. After all, the two that Heinrich sent were not weak either—they were nearing the peak of Tier Nine. Could it be that the Human Dragon Nobles helped them?"

"If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. No wonder those two dare to be so brazen now."

"However, I have to say, the Human Empire’s strategy of using dragons to control dragons is quite clever."

"How about this for now: first, we placate these two audacious fellows. Also, Heinrich, you should have a way to contact the Human Empire’s Royal Family, right? Go contact the humans. I think it’s time we solved the problem of the Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"If the Human Race agrees, we can even give up all the human territory we’ve occupied in this campaign."

"What do you all think?"

The Golden Beetle looked at the other eight Saint Tier Magical Beasts, including the Forest Giant Elephant and the Aurora Bird.

"I think that’s a good idea."

"For now, this is the only way. After all, we can’t be expected to act ourselves, can we?"

"..."

"It should have been like this from the start," the Aurora Bird said faintly.

"I don’t know anything. You all can discuss it amongst yourselves. I’m feeling a bit sleepy," the Forest Giant Elephant said indifferently.

And so, once the nine Saint Tier Magical Beasts reached a tacit understanding, they prepared to adjourn the meeting.

However, just at that moment, a voice suddenly appeared without any warning inside the closed Divine Hall meeting.

"A fine plan."

"But have you all considered the feelings of the parties involved? I think we should perhaps discuss this matter a little more, what do you say?"

The sudden voice startled all of the Saint Tier Magical Beasts.

They immediately looked toward the source of the voice.

And right at that instant, the great doors of the Divine Hall came crashing down with a BOOM!

Braving the wind and snow.

Finally, under the dumbfounded and even incredulous gazes of the nine Saint Tier Magical Beasts...

They saw them!

They saw that what had appeared outside the doors were two terrifying Giant Dragons!

Those were true Giant Dragons, not mixed-bloods!

As for the many Middle-High Tier Magical Beast guards at the gate, they were all prostrated on the ground in terror, not daring to make a move against these two behemoths!

"The Dragon Race has returned?!"

"No! This is impossible!"
