"They're nothing but a bunch of cowardly humans."

The four-clawed crab's voice was extremely disdainful.

It has conquered countless cities and territories since it set foot on land from the sea, and has even defeated those human cultivators who call themselves Nascent Soul cultivators. It has never encountered an opponent.

So when the shrimp-headed demon soldiers said they had to stop for the sake of a human city...

A sense of dissatisfaction arose in its heart.

Isn't that belittling it?

"Do you think I am no match for those cowardly humans?"

The four-clawed crab's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"No...of course not!"

How dare the shrimp-headed demon soldiers admit to this?

So he could only say, trembling, "General, this city is different from the ones we've encountered before..."

"What's the difference? If you can't give me a convincing reason, don't blame me for sharpening your shrimp head with my claws!"

The four-clawed crab's voice grew even more displeased.

The shrimp-headed demon soldier's beard trembled for a moment, and he hurriedly said, "General, we are not the first to come from this direction!"

"Actually, the vanguard of Ao Yunwang had already come ten days ago!"

Upon hearing the name Ao Yun, the four-clawed crab immediately stopped in its tracks, and at the same time, another eye emerged from its shell.

"Ao Yun, the Demon King's vanguard?"

The four-clawed crab's voice carried a hint of surprise.

“That’s right, ten days ago, Demon King Ao Yun’s vanguard attacked this city.”

"But later, Demon King Ao Yun chose to withdraw his troops..."

The shrimp-headed demon soldier spoke, revealing the information he had gathered.

After hearing what he said, a hint of human-like surprise flashed in the two pairs of vertical pupils of the four-clawed crab.

He hurriedly asked, "You mean even the vanguard led by Demon King Ao Yun failed to capture this city?"

Ao Yun, the Demon King, is the princess of the Golden Carp Clan. She possesses ancient bloodlines and is second only to the Dragon Flood Dragon King among the seven demon kings in the vanguard.

He also has more than a dozen powerful demons assisting him.

Even she couldn't conquer this city, let alone herself.

"No, Demon King Ao Yun's vanguard only encountered very strong resistance, but later they retreated for some unknown reason."

"However!" The shrimp-headed demon soldier suddenly changed his tone.

"My subordinates have learned from elsewhere that the Black Eel Demon King died at the hands of the people in this city!"

"What? Black Eel is dead?"

The four-clawed crab's voice was filled with shock!

The two jet-black vertical eyes were almost bursting out of the carapace.

Others may not know.

But did he know?

The Black Electric Demon Eel has awakened its bloodline, and the slippery mucus on its body can defend against any magical attack.

When they were underwater, apart from a few demon kings, the Black Electric Demon Eel was among the strongest of all the great demons.

Once on land, the Black Electric Eel stole the show with its slimy body.

Even some human cultivators who called themselves Gods of Transformation couldn't do anything about him.

With the Black Electric Eel Demon as her vanguard, Ao Yun conquered hundreds of cities, driving the human resistance forces into a series of defeats.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Based on this achievement, the Black Electric Eel Demon can obtain a drop of dragon blood upon returning to the seabed.

His promotion to Demon King is almost a certainty.

It makes countless people envious, jealous, and resentful.

Yet this dazzling existence died in an obscure little town called Sifang City.

This left the four-clawed crab both sighing and feeling a lingering fear.

He quickly cut off his thoughts, looked at the shrimp-headed demon soldier, and asked, "How far are we from the Four Directions City now?"

The shrimp-headed demon soldier had clearly anticipated that it would ask this question.

He hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the general, there are still 1,500 li to go!"

Upon hearing this number...

The four-clawed crab was startled and quickly used its supernatural powers to send a telepathic message in all directions: "Stop advancing!"

The sound transformed into waves that traveled along the river, reaching the entire group.

Almost instantly, the massive procession came to a halt.

"General, you are wise!"

Seeing that the four-clawed crab was so obedient, the shrimp-headed demon soldier quickly flattered it again.

Then he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now..."

It breathed a sigh of relief.

It has clearly passed this hurdle.

However, before it could leave, the four-clawed crab's voice came from behind.

"No, you can't leave. I have another task for you!"

Immediately afterwards, the four-clawed crab looked at the shrimp-headed demon soldier, a dazzling light flashing in its vertical eyes.

The light transformed into a pale golden crab-shaped token, which landed in the hand of the shrimp-headed demon soldier.

"Take this token and go to King Aohuang. Tell him what happened here!"

Four-clawed crab gave instructions.

Ao Huang was the most powerful of the seven demon kings of the sea race, who were famous among the human race.

Ao Huang is its real name.

Only the sea creatures know this.

The seven demon kings of the Sea Clan actually represent seven teams.

Each demon king leads a team of its own.

The Black Electric Demon Eel belongs to the same lineage as Ao Yun Demon King.

The four-clawed sea crab belongs to the Aohuang lineage.

On the surface, the teams appear to be cooperating.

However, in reality, the mountains are not under any one jurisdiction.

They only gather together to fight a powerful enemy.

Normally, they would separate and each expand their own territory.

Even if something happens, they can only report it to the demon king who rules over them.

They also did not share information with each other.
