Chapter 745: Chapter 448: Nine Lives Spirit Blood_1

“To put it mildly, you are preventing Logan from arranging the array, to put it seriously, are you plotting treachery, intending to harm the Demon King and have the entire Monster Beast Clan change its ruler?”

The Demon Race General waved his hand, allowing these hundred people to leave, yet they exchanged glances with one another and chose not to leave. Instead, their killing intent remained unabated.

“General, if today you insist on protecting this outsider, then we must apologize, but we must slay Logan. This is for the sake of the Monster Beast Clan.”

The hundred people clasped their hands together, stating resolutely, “Logan’s arrangement of the array is treacherous. Once Logan succeeds, hundreds of thousands from the Monster Beast Clan will be destroyed.”

“Who told you Logan’s arrangement of the array is harmful?” the Demon Race General asked sternly. The Demon King had already stated that the array was set up to save the Secret Land with the gathering array, and despite his own grudges with Logan, he still contributed three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones for the arrangement’s purpose.

Even if Logan were lying, the Demon King was overseeing, could the Demon King really not distinguish between a Killing Array and a Spirit Gathering Array? Could these people distrust Logan so much that they no longer trust their own Demon King? As the king of the Monster Beast Clan, how could he possibly conspire with an outsider?

“The Elders said so.” The hundred people responded in unison, causing the Demon Race General to shake his head. These hundred were bewitched by those old fools from Old Home because of their hatred towards the Human race, so much so that they couldn’t think clearly, dooming this group of young Heavenly Prides.

“Are the Elders always right? If it were an ordinary person, given my temperament, I would have slain you already. But you are the future hope of the Monster Beast Clan, and I truly don’t wish to engage in battle. But can’t you just trust the Demon King, can you wake up a little?”

The Demon Race General pleaded repeatedly, to no avail; these hundred had already settled on their belief, so how could they change their minds with just a few words? In their eyes, Logan, the foreigner, was harboring ill intentions, and aimed to harm the entire Monster Beast Clan.

At this point, the Demon Race General took a deep breath: “Well then, if you won’t leave, I’ll have no choice but to commence a slaughter. Even if I bear the infamy of slaying the young Heavenly Pride of the Monster Beast Clan, as long as it resolves the crisis in the Secret Land, death would be worth it.”

“Then we must offend!” The hundred people immediately attacked, and the Demon Race General, not expecting them to really strike at him, retaliated in anger.

The Demon Race General possessed eighth-layer strength, and despite facing mostly Quasi-Saints with a dozen amongst them at the level of the Holy See, he still overwhelmingly gained the upper hand. However, the General didn’t wish for the Monster Beast Clan to fight amongst themselves and thus only repelled the attackers, refraining from slaying them.

Now Logan could arrange the array in peace. Originally, the Spirit Gathering Array was half-complete; now, it only needed half an incense stick’s time, and all would be accomplished. Logan was caught in a dilemma; after all, considering how the people of the Monster Beast Clan had treated him, should he still finish the Spirit Gathering Array?

Yet upon reflection, it was only this small group that was misled. The Demon King hadn’t turned hostile, even defending against a dozen attackers, and Logan had made a promise to the Demon King, not to anyone else in the Demon Clan. By reason and by emotion, he should continue to arrange the array.

Besides, hadn’t these people accused him of harboring evil intentions? Logan decided he would wait for the moment the array achieved greatness, to let them witness the crisis of the Secret Land being averted. At that time, whether it’s a slap in the face, he would prove to them that people from the outside could be mighty too, and not the scheming villains they claimed.

Logan continued to arrange the array, as Runes emerged once again and spread outwards, these were the sources for the congregation of Spiritual Energy in the Secret Land’s future. Although the ongoing battle caused the dissipation of many runes, the majority were unaffected.

After a while, the Demon Race General had slain four or five dozen people. He had been reluctant to kill, but as the hundred persisted in a fight to the death, one by one falling, the General felt agonizing frustration with the stupidity of these young Heavenly Prides of the Monster Beast Clan, yet he couldn’t retreat a single step.

Logan was arranging the array to save the Demon Clan’s Secret Land; if anything happened to him, the Monster Beast Clan would truly be doomed, and he wouldn’t be able to explain himself to the Demon King.

Over at the Demon King’s side, more than twenty had already been slain, only a few remained: “Do you still seek to obstruct? Just with you few, how much longer can you hold out?”

“To delay even for a moment is still worth it; only we few are lucid. Demon King, you are too naive. Even in death, we will be honored, the younger generations of the Monster Beast Clan will remember us, whilst you, the Demon King, have made a fool’s mistake in choosing to assist the human race’s oppressors.”

The few faced death as if they had been greatly wronged, as though their actions were prestigious. This really infuriated the Demon King further.

He knew in his heart that these people were ignorant, and further explanation was pointless. So the Demon King stopped explaining and used his Great Divine Power to trap the remaining few.

He then strode over to join the Demon Race General: “It’s good that you arrived in time. If these people had succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

“Demon King, I have an intuition that though those old fools are deluded, they shouldn’t be that foolish. Might there be others behind them stirring the pot?”

The Demon Race General heaved a sigh and turned to the Demon King, sure that someone didn’t want Logan to resolve the crisis of the Monster Beast Clan, hence they secretly orchestrated all of this.

The Demon King nodded in agreement, “It’s not impossible. I will have someone investigate this, and if there indeed is someone with malice, I will show no mercy.”

“Demon King, you are too ruthless, having slain a great number of Elders just for a foreigner, truly disheartening us.”
