In other words, regardless of the outcome of the demonic insects opening the void gate, the extraterrestrial demons' century-long plan will be perfectly implemented, while he, Feng Qitong, will bear the blame for incompetence and will never be able to hold his head high again.
Thinking of this, Feng Qitong couldn't help but shudder.
A blast of cold air rushed into his burning chest cavity through his nasal cavity, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It seems that the evil race has already fallen under your control."
Feng Qitong said coldly.
Not long ago, when he tried to contact many elders in the clan, he found that he could not reach them no matter what. At first, he did not pay much attention to it, after all, this phenomenon often happened. But now, thinking about it carefully, it seems that things have become more complicated.
"Hahahaha... Your father has been sidelined by the Grand Wizard. I'm not saying this, but your father is incredibly stupid. Under the Grand Wizard's orders, almost all of your father's confidants have been killed. Now, several key positions in the clan are filled with the Grand Wizard's people. Sigh, I hope they can open their eyes in their next life and follow the right person."
Zhou Tong sighed with feigned regret, then looked up at Feng Qitong with a mocking expression. After admiring the fascinating changes in the latter's face, he paused and continued, "The Great Wizard said that you are extremely shrewd and not easily manipulated. What the Great Wizard wants is a puppet clan leader, so no matter what, you can't go back."
After Zhou Tong finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, his figure appeared above the three-headed demonic ape. He slowly stretched out his palm, and a dazzling darkness immediately enveloped his entire body. He stared at Zhou Tong, a cold smile curving his lips. "Make your move, holy warrior. In this filthy world, use the blood of your enemies to wash away the filth on your body."
As soon as the words fell, the silent three-headed demonic ape suddenly pounded its chest and roared. A ferocious expression appeared on its three heads, and its three pairs of beastly eyes flashed with a scarlet light, revealing a most primal impulse.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The sound carried far and wide, the roar like a tidal wave, shaking the earth. The nearby mountains could not withstand such a powerful force and shattered into dust.
It has a somewhat apocalyptic feel to it.
Feng Qitong reacted extremely quickly, and in a flash, he appeared a thousand paces away, while the spot where he had been standing had vanished.
"That was close."
He was suddenly startled.
Just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, the three-headed demonic ape, as large as a mountain, rushed over. Despite its enormous size, it was extremely agile.
With each step, a thick footprint was left on the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
A punch came hurtling in.
The fist seemed to grow infinitely larger in Feng Qitong's eyes; a single finger was almost as thick as him. If that fist were to land on him, he would be turned to dust.
Before the fist even landed, the whistling wind instantly tore his clothes apart, and an immense pressure enveloped him in an instant.
Even the simplest breath has become a torment at this moment.
He dared not confront them head-on, and when he tried to slip away, he found himself unable to move no matter what he did.
"Hahahaha... You underestimate the Three-Headed Demon Ape too much. If that's all you've got, then just wait to die. Don't worry, I'll send you news of your death after the Demon Insects fail to open the Void Gate. I'll say that you knew you had failed in your mission and ruined the Demon Clan's century-long plan, and committed suicide out of guilt."
Zhou Tong stood atop a distant mountain peak and spoke calmly.
He spoke as if he were catching up with a close friend; his voice was soft, but every word clearly reached Feng Qitong's ears.
The plan was so meticulous that even the charges against him after his death were arranged. In this light, if he hadn't died, wouldn't he have ruined the whole scheme?
Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold.
But at this moment, his body was unable to move, and even the demonic energy within him could not be mobilized due to the powerful external constraints. Could he simply watch himself die like this...?
Boom
He punched Feng Qitong hard.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Qitong felt everything go black before her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.
"Dead?"
Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised. In a flash, he appeared in the deep pit that the three-headed demonic ape had smashed into. Apart from leaving a faint aura, there was nothing left.
He did believe that the three-headed demonic ape had the strength, after all, with its powerful physical strength, it could crush even a Demon Emperor-level expert during its Demon Saint era, which was undeniably impressive.
"He died a truly thorough death."
Zhou Tong clicked his tongue and said, then waved his hand. As a strange light passed by, a violent black light suddenly burst forth from the three demonic apes. Then, the black light turned into a greedy maw and swallowed the demonic apes whole.
Its enormous body vanished from its spot in an instant.
The once empty land returned to calm, as if it had experienced an unprecedented earthquake. The ground was in ruins, with several deep craters, each as tall as a person. Apart from that, the place was no different from before.
Inside the deep valley, the demonic insects surged out like a tide, densely covering the entire valley, a truly horrifying sight.
At that moment, a wisp of black demonic energy suddenly drifted out from the cold air.
In the deep pit where Feng Qitong disappeared, the wisp of black energy stopped, and with a flash of dazzling darkness, a phantom appeared out of thin air.
The man had a very refined appearance, with some gray hair at his temples and a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He sighed and said, "My good child, I've really put you through a lot."
He glanced at the deep pit and continued, "The secret struggle between Father and the Great Wizard has reached a fever pitch. Your life is in danger at any moment. It seems that the bond between you two cannot be broken."
Currently, within the Nine Provinces Continent, the only person capable of protecting his foolish son and making Zhou Tong and the Great Wizard hesitant to act against him is Jiang Jinyu.
To mess with Jiang Jinyu is to touch the dragon clan's sore spot. You must know that at this moment, the dragon clan has already amassed a million troops to guard the border for the safety of the Nine Provinces Continent, all for the sake of the ever-watchful demon clan.
No one dares to start this dispute lightly.
It maintains a dynamic balance.
However, if Jiang Jinyu is harmed, it would undoubtedly be the first thing to break this balance. The Dragon Clan would likely go to any lengths to avenge Jiang Jinyu, and that situation would be something that no one, including the Great Wizard, would want to see.
"However... if you take this blame, your father will clear your name once he eradicates the Great Wizard Clan. For now, I can only ask you to bear this injustice."
As he spoke, he seemed somewhat reluctant, letting out two helpless laughs. In the instant he turned away, his imposing figure appeared to become much more hunched.
