Chapter 460: Whereabouts
In the past, Demon Wind Gobi was considered a forbidden area for human cultivators. Most human cultivators only had activities on the edge of Demon Wind Gobi and never ventured deep into it. The vast majority of human cultivators were not familiar with the situation inside Demon Wind Gobi, let alone its richness. Even the small number of cultivators who coveted the demon beast resources in Demon Wind Gobi only dared to hunt for solitary demon beasts on the periphery, fearing the powerful strength of the demon beasts and not daring to venture deep into it. This time, the army of cultivators from the three forces is the first time that human cultivators have set foot in this place since the destruction of the Purple Gold Sect.
Since Demon Wind Gobi is called a desert, the environment is not good. The main terrain inside is still desert and dangerous shoals, interspersed with some grasslands, swamps, and mountains. It can't be said to be very rich, and most of the places inside are barren land without creatures. But compared to the Endless Sea of Sand, this place can already be called a rich land. The army of cultivators from the three forces had been staying in the Endless Sea of Sand for a long time, and they were tired and poor. When they saw the appearance of Demon Wind Gobi, they became possessive.
The number of cultivators from the Northern Desert Qi Family was the smallest, and they were lightly armed and advanced at the forefront. Wherever the Northern Desert Qi Family passed, there were specialized cultivators leaving marks around to prove that this was the spoils of the Northern Desert Qi Family, and outsiders were not allowed to touch it. The armies of the other two sects fell slightly behind and took the same action.
Fortunately, the three forces attacked in different directions, and there was a distance between the areas they passed through, so there would be no conflict for the time being. When human cultivators were wondering about the whereabouts of the powerful Third Rank demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi, a fierce conflict broke out in the depths of Demon Wind Gobi.
In the center of Demon Wind Gobi, there is a continuous and huge mountain range. There are many peaks in the mountain range, including some towering peaks. To the south of the mountain range is a vast plain. The remaining branches of the mountain range extend deep into this plain, which has many hills. Usually, the demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi dare not approach here, even the powerful Third Rank demon beasts will consciously stay away from here. But now, Lion Demon General led a huge army of demon beasts into this plain and was preparing to continue advancing towards the mountain range ahead. In the mountain range ahead is the only Fourth Rank demon beast in Demon Wind Gobi, the White Lion Demon King's lair.
Years ago, the White Lion Demon King led many Third Rank demon beasts to besiege the injured Fifth Rank great power in the Deadly Sea of Sand. After a big battle, most of the Third Rank demon beasts fell, and the White Lion Demon King was also seriously injured and dying. After dragging the last breath back to the lair, the White Lion Demon King died during meditation. After the White Lion Demon King died during meditation, many demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi fell into chaos. Later, fierce battles even broke out between different demon beast tribes. Dark Crow Demon General, who was most loyal to the White Lion Demon King, led the Crow tribe to the mountain range ahead of the An Family after the White Lion Demon King died during meditation. Dark Crow Demon General was the trusted personal guard of the White Lion Demon King, and he regretted missing the big battle with the Fifth Rank great power due to some reason.Dark Crow Demon General has always been stationed here, not allowing any other demon beasts to approach. Dark Crow Demon General publicly claimed that White Lion Demon King did not completely fall and there would be a day of return. Other Third Rank demon beasts simply do not believe this rhetoric from Dark Crow Demon General. In the hearts of other Third Rank demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi, Dark Crow Demon General clearly wants to occupy White Lion Demon King's lair alone and swallow all of White Lion Demon King's inheritance, so he fabricated such an excuse.
But Dark Crow Demon General is powerful and has long been a Third Rank middle-grade demon beast. The Crow tribe under its command is also one of the powerful demon beast tribes in Demon Wind Gobi. There are also some demon beasts loyal to White Lion Demon King who openly or secretly support Dark Crow Demon General. Dark Crow Demon General's behavior is clearly monopolistic, which naturally attracts the hostility of demon beasts who covet White Lion Demon King's inheritance. Among them, Lion Demon General hates Dark Crow Demon General the most.
Lion Demon General considers himself and White Lion Demon King to be of the same race and the most qualified to inherit White Lion Demon King's inheritance. White Lion Demon King, as a Fourth Rank demon beast, was the king among demon beasts and had ruled Demon Wind Gobi for many years. The treasures or techniques left behind after his fall were priceless. The differences between demon beasts are huge, and techniques suitable for one type of demon beast may not be suitable for another type. Lion Demon General feels that he and White Lion Demon King have the smallest racial differences and are most suitable for practicing the techniques left by White Lion Demon King.
For many years, Lion Demon General has tried every means to obtain White Lion Demon King's inheritance, but has been stopped by Dark Crow Demon General and almost died in Dark Crow Demon General's hands. You may think that being a lion can climb to the top and claim to be of the same race as the king. There are many lion-shaped demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi, but none of them are related to the White Lion King. This is Dark Crow Demon General's mockery of Lion Demon General, and it is indeed reasonable. Those demon beasts that look similar on the outside are actually very different and belong to unrelated tribes.
Dark Crow Demon General would not put Lion Demon General in his eyes, let alone admit that this guy and White Lion Demon King are of the same race. In the past, Lion Demon General only had resentment because his strength was far inferior to Dark Crow Demon General. But after accidentally encountering the Fifth Rank great power in the Deadly Sea of Sand, Lion Demon General's fate changed. With the help of the Fifth Rank great power, Lion Demon General successfully advanced to Third Rank middle-grade and had the strength to compete with Dark Crow Demon General.
Then it raised the banner of uniting all demon beasts in Demon Wind Gobi, used both soft and hard tactics, and subdued a group of Third Rank low-grade demon beasts, gathering many demon beast tribes to form a huge army of demon beasts. Lion Demon General did not rashly conflict with Dark Crow Demon General, but followed the orders of the Fifth Rank great power and summoned the army of demon beasts to attack the Endless Sea of Sand. After being repelled by the Flying Swan Sect, Lion Demon General has been confronting the Flying Swan Sect. Two Third Rank demon beasts under its command died in battle, making Lion Demon General wary of human cultivators and unwilling to engage in a major battle with them.
Lion Demon General maintained pressure on the Flying Swan Sect and kept the fighting at a low intensity, but never launched a major attack. When Golden Tiger Demon General invited Dark Crow Demon General to explore the small world of the Purple Gold Sect and took Earth Fox Demon General away, Lion Demon General keenly sensed this rare opportunity. It immediately led the army of demon beasts to advance towards White Lion Demon King's lair. It wanted to take advantage of Dark Crow Demon General's absence, take advantage of the situation, attack and capture White Lion Demon King's lair, and seize all of White Lion Demon King's inheritance.
