Although the Great Elder was advanced in age and had long since ceased involvement in the affairs of the demon clan, this did not mean he was completely unaware of everything.
How could he not know about the grudges between Wolf King Sarka and Skar?
In truth, within his heart, his views on the two were much like those of Bai Xiaofan.
By comparison, he too felt that Skar was more suited to become a generation's Demon King.
Not only because Skar's cultivation level was currently higher than that of Wolf King Sarka, but also because Skar knew when to advance and retreat, possessing an even stronger ambition!
Once he gained enough power, this ambition would develop, and only then could the demon clan possibly truly emerge from the depths of the mountains.
However, even though he thought this way, at the same time, he was a man of principles. When the previous Demon King passed away, he instructed him to assist the new Demon King in growing, and since he agreed, he would fulfill this promise!
A man's promise is worth a thousand gold!
Watching the clansmen fighting fiercely ahead, Wolf King Sarka leaped powerfully, transforming directly into his true form, a massive wolf body that crashed like a cannonball into the swift-wind leopards' ranks.
"What stimuli has this guy received?"
Bai Xiaofan, though leisurely following behind Yaoyao and Xiaoqing, was still taking in the situation of the surrounding battle. Seeing Wolf King Sarka transform, he was slightly surprised.
But it was only a little bit of surprise.
When the three elders charged up the city wall, surrounding the clan leader of the swift-wind leopards, the battle was already locked in victory. After all, the swift-wind leopard's leader was merely a mid-stage Mahayana expert; how could he alone resist the combined assault of three late-stage Mahayana masters?
What remained was to see how much more damage the swift-wind leopards could cause to these demon clan members.
This battle didn't really end until two hours later, when nearly ten thousand swift-wind leopards were all slaughtered!
On the demon clan's side, there were only about thirty thousand left with the strength to fight.
Seeing the counted numbers, both Yaoyao and Xiaoqing were stunned.
They hadn't expected that although they seemed to have killed smoothly in this battle, the casualties were incredibly heavy. They hadn't even reached the Blood Demon clan's heart, and their numbers had already dwindled to Bai Xiaofan's expectations.
However, it seemed as though no one felt this concern at the moment. All the demon clan members looked excited, with many already clamoring to speed up and reach the Blood Demon clan's core area as soon as possible.
The three elders, along with Wolf King Sarka and Skar, gathered to deliberate the next plan.
At this time, losing thirty thousand people, and only encountering mid-stage Mahayana experts, they were already like this.
The city ahead was the silver fox tribe's base, a branch of the Blood Demon clan, where a thousand years ago, their clan leader was already at a late-stage Mahayana level!
At that time, they attacked from another direction, so they didn't encounter the silver fox's clan leader beforehand, but they met at the heart of the Blood Demon clan's territory.
In that battle, their previous Demon King failed to achieve the ancient Demon King legacy because at the final moment, he was beguiled by the clan leader of the silver fox tribe.
Thinking of the silver fox's clan leader, the three elders' eyes flashed with a stunning and unforgettable look.
She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, even though Yaoyao and her companions were considered quite beautiful, but compared to her, they fell short in many ways.
At the thought of that woman, the three elders all felt their hearts skip a beat, partly due to her beauty, and partly out of fear of her exceedingly powerful enchanting arts!
This woman also had a name that was extremely fitting for her, Ye Qianmei, a truly charming enchantress!
With the remaining thirty thousand people, forcibly breaking through the silver fox tribe ahead was evidently unwise. Not to mention the terror of Ye Qianmei, even if they managed to take it, their losses would be unimaginable.
They needed to preserve all these living forces until they reached the heart of the Blood Demon clan for the final battle.
After lengthy discussion, they finally came up with a not-so-great plan.
The three elders, taking Wolf King Sarka and Skar with them, selected the ten strongest cultivators from among the demon clan's experts to form an assassination group.
If they could successfully kill Ye Qianmei, the silver fox tribe would be vulnerable.
But deciding whom to choose was extremely difficult!
Ultimately, Yaoyao and others were called over for selection.
When the final result was determined, the personnel list was confirmed, and those who stayed behind were placed under the command of Ryan, a late-stage tribulation tiger demon, with Xiaoqing also remaining to assist Ryan.
As for Yaoyao, she was to follow the three elders in their mission to kill the fearsome Ye Qianmei.
"Uncle, just stay and help Xiaoqing; I won't be in danger!"
Before leaving, Yaoyao approached Bai Xiaofan and whispered.
"Originally, I wasn't worried about your safety. Your team consists of cultivators of at least the mid-stage tribulation level, plus the three elders. If you can't kill one woman, then don't come back!"
Bai Xiaofan rolled his eyes speechlessly and said matter-of-factly.
The three elders were late-stage Mahayana level, plus Skar at early-stage Mahayana. Unless Ye Qianmei had reached the Earth Immortal stage, even a peak Mahayana expert would be slain.
"Humph, not concerned about me at all; you and Xiaoqing just wait here for our news of victory!"
Yaoyao playfully smacked Bai Xiaofan's shoulder and then quietly left with the three elders.
Bai Xiaofan looked at Ryan and Xiaoqing, who were arranging the demon clan's formation, found a stone to sit on, and idly drank plum wine.
Actually, Bai Xiaofan disagreed with the three elders' approach. Even if they could kill Ye Qianmei with just fifteen people, what then?
Was there no other expert in the silver fox tribe?
In this situation, preserving the remaining thirty thousand clansmen seemed unnecessary. The closer they got to the Blood Demon clan's core, the more they relied on powerful cultivators for battle!
Those lacking in cultivation were nothing more than cannon fodder if they charged forward!
