Chapter 224: Blocking the Way
“We must find them and take revenge!”
Shameful!
It was too shameful for the Roc Clan.
They had been bullied.
But now they lacked a backbone and many decisions could not be made.
The Roc Clan was in chaos for a while before they slowly calmed down.
They migrated to the surrounding areas of their nest on the collapsed stone mountain and settled down temporarily.
The remaining Roc Clan members discussed for a while. A part of them patrolled around the nest and guarded it. The other part walked around the nest to see if there were any shadows.
“Hasn’t the elder returned yet?”
“No!”
“It’s been two days. Why isn’t he back yet?”
“The elder and the others are flying very fast. Our people can’t catch up. Once they catch up, they’ll come back.”
At the border of Fenglan.
On a certain mountain, a large bird appeared.
Flutter!
The huge bird flapped its wings in all directions. The surrounding trees were blown off by the strong wind, leaving a barren mountain.
Following that, these rocks and wood formed a strange pattern.
After two days, the elder was the first to arrive at the border.
Then, he found a place to stay and waited for the other Roc Clan members to arrive.
“So slow! If I had this time, I would have already found that small city and caught Li Mu.”
He left too quickly. He only knew that Li Mu was in Fenglan, but he didn’t know where that small city was!
In fact, such a small city wouldn’t be on the map.
The even smaller sites around the small cities wouldn’t be on the map either.
Every once in a while, some small cities in Fenglan would disappear, and the map couldn’t keep up with the updates.
He could only wait!
“After we capture Li Mu this time, let’s show the clan leader who is the most capable person among us. Why is it that every time we go to war with the Dragon Clan, I always stay behind to guard?”
Speaking of this, the elder felt a burst of anger in his heart.
It was always the other elders who went out.
They were looking down on him.
They did not believe in his ability, nor did they believe in his combat strength.
Every time the other elders went out, not only could they spar with experts of the same level, they could also obtain many treasures.
In the long run, his lineage would slowly decline.
This time, he was determined to obtain the items in Li Mu’s hands.
If he obtained the items first, he would be able to know what the manuals were about.
With the manuals, his lineage would grow rapidly.
They would not decline in the Roc Clan.
“These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, Why aren’t they here yet?”
On the mountain peak, the elder of the Roc Clan waited for a long time, but there was still no sign of them.
Seeing that another day had pa.s.sed, the elder became anxious.
Could it be that they didn’t know the way?
Impossible!
How could the Roc Clan lose their way?
Unless something happened?
One day ago.
At the border of the Shang Qing region.
More than ten Great Demons of the Roc Clan were intercepted.
“You… you guys are too fast!” The Great Demon that appeared panted and said in a panic.
“The elder is flying even faster, and we are already slow enough. Move aside, we want to chase after the elder.”
“Stop chasing, just as you left, something happened to the old nest!”
“Something happened to the old nest?”
Swoos.h.!.+
More than ten rocs stared at the great roc that was rus.h.i.+ng over from behind in suspicion.
They didn’t believe it!
Who dared to cause trouble in their old nest?
Even the Phoenix Clan had to think twice before provoking the Roc Clan.
How many years had it been? Their old nest had always been fine, why did something happen right after they left?
Was there such a coincidence?
“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and take a look. The nest has really been attacked. I wonder who did it?”
The great roc, who had caught up with them, swallowed hard and said anxiously after calming his anger.
He knew that if he didn’t explain this matter clearly, this group of experts of his kind wouldn’t believe it at all.
Even in the nest, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe that someone would have attacked.
Yet, they attacked when the experts were leaving the nest.
“We still don’t know who did it? Did you invite the Wolf Demon?”
“Yes, he said that it would be very difficult to find the a.s.sailant!”
Hmm?
Even the werewolves couldn’t find the a.s.sailant.
Was the a.s.sailant’s ability very powerful?
“If you don’t believe me, you can go back and take a look first. The nest needs experts to protect it now. I still have to chase after the elders…”
The ten Great Rocs hesitated.
They didn’t know if what the Great Roc in front of them said was true or not.
Li Mu was on the other side!
The temptation was huge.
But what if the fellow messenger was telling the truth and the nest was attacked? If they ignored the nest and continued to capture Li Mu, they wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility of having their nest destroyed.
More importantly, would they still be able to capture Li Mu?
What if they failed to capture him?
Last time, so many of their Roc tribe’s experts had been killed in Fenglan. In the end, they couldn’t even find a piece of Li Mu’s hair.
The Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Orcs had searched for many years.
After so many years, if Li Mu still didn’t wake up, a cunning man with more than one hideout would probably be found by now.
Perhaps he wasn’t even in Fenglan.
This time, the sword qi left behind in the small city was to lure them into the trap and create chaos.
It was like this back then in Wuxin City.
So many Orcs had died in that battle. The Roc Clan and the Dragon Clan had also suffered great losses in that battle.
In the end, they found out that it was all a trap set up by the other party.
After that luring the tiger away from the mountain plan, no longer did the demon race look down on the wisdom of humans.
What Fox Clan? No matter how cunning they were, how could they be a match for humans?
“The elder is not here. If the enemy is very strong, what if we are not his match?”
“This…”
“We will go back and take a look. The few of you will continue to chase after him. After seeing the elder, tell him to wait for three days. If we are not there in three days, then something really has happened to the nest.”
The dozen or so Roc Clan members discussed for a while and decided that both sides had to be taken into consideration.
Thus, they split into two groups.
After making the decision, eight Roc Clan members quickly returned.
Six Roc Clan members followed the elder who delivered the letter. A total of seven Roc Clan members chased after the elder.
Around the Roc Clan’s nest.
Li Mu watched as the Roc Clan gradually stabilized. From beginning to end, there were no powerful Roc Clan experts that appeared.
There were not even two Great Rocs in the True Realm.
This was completely inconsistent with the style of the Great Demons of top-tier forces like the Roc Clan.
Even for a third-rate force like the Xuantian Sect, there were quite a number of True Realm cultivators in charge.
“A few days ago, what did the Roc Clan members that left their nest want to do?”
To dispatch so many rocs in one go, there must be something important.
Should he wait for them in the Roc Clan’s nest or catch up with them?
After thinking for a while, Li Mu felt that he should go and take a look.
The Roc Clan’s nest can’t move.
There would be plenty of time for revenge in the future.
After that, Li Mu chased after the Roc Clan.
Before he left the Shang Qing region, he b.u.mped into eight rocs who were all in the True Realm.
“Eh?”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
Then, he thought for a moment and understood.
This group of rocs must have received the information and returned to their nest to check.
He had originally planned to wait for the returning True Realm rocs to appear in their nest and then launch a sneak attack.
This was great!
Everything was so perfect.
At the same time, the Rocs on the other side were also stunned.
“Human?” The leading Roc asked.
His divine consciousness scanned Li Mu up and down a few times, but he actually couldn’t see through his opponent’s cultivation achievement.
The vicious expression on his face gradually eased up.
Since it was impossible for him to defeat the other party, he could only let him go. Right now, returning to his nest was more important.
Thus, he flapped his wings, intending to bypa.s.s Li Mu.
“Yes!”
Li Mu replied indifferently, taking a step forward to block the Roc Clan.
“What are you…”
