Chapter 4298: Eight Tiger Demon
Vengeance came swiftly. In just two days, Eight Demons came and surrounded Little Diamond.
âClank! Clank!â The latterâs members became alarmed after hearing the warning gongs.
âTheyâre here!â The disciples guarding the base blew their horns.
Those who heard the warning immediately dropped their current task and ran to their assigned post.
The elders also moved with urgency. They had been assigned clear responsibilities. Some stayed in the sect while others went to command disciples.
Eight Demonsâ force consisted of several hundred disciples, looking rather aggressive and fierce.
âClose the gate!â The fifth elder ordered.
âCreakâ¦â The arched gate at the base slowly closed.
This gate had a rich history and served as one of the toughest defenses of Little Diamond.
Meanwhile, hybrid demons lined up right outside - bulls, serpents, fiery crowsâ¦
They already had weapons at the ready despite a lack of command - axes, spears, and pagodasâ¦
The two sects werenât far from each other, only several hundred miles or so. Thus, they arrived in no time at all after hearing about Du Weiwuâs injury.
âLittle Diamond, come accept your fate!â He appeared among the demonic horde and roared.
His face twisted with both rage and complacency, ready to exact his revenge.
âBoom!â A massive figure appeared before them.
âRaa!â Its demonic energy and murderous intent forced its own allies back.
The members inside Little Diamond were frightened as well. Their legs trembled as their face turned pale.
âEight Tiger Demon!â Those from Little Diamond jolted in fear.
This tiger demon had a tall and sturdy physique with the character âkingâ on his forehead. His eyes shone frighteningly.
He was none other than the sect master of Eight Demons and Du Weiwuâs uncle. Strangely enough, Weiwu was a deer demon while his uncle was a tiger demon.
âElder, the tiger demon himself is leading.â A disciple from Little Diamond reported this to the first elder.
âCan we stop him?â One elder asked.
âHe is at the grand level of the yin yang realm.â The fourth elder became worried.
When their previous sect master was alive, he was about as strong as this tiger demon. Now, only the first elder was in the yin yang realm. Alas, he was only at the minor level.
âEight Tiger, why are you here?â The fifth elder was in charge of the gate and asked the aggressive demon.
âYou already know the answer. You injured my nephew and insulted my clan. We need an answer or weâll flatten your sect.â Eight Tiger barked back.
The elders naturally knew that Du Weiwu must have embellished the stories to make himself the victim. Thus, this assault wasnât unexpected at all.
âEight Tiger, you only heard a one-sided account. We might be a small sect but we know better than to bully a junior. Your nephewâs greed and disrespectful attitude towards our sect master warranted the punishment.â The fifth elder said.
âLies!â Du Weiwu jumped out and shouted: âI came with sincerity to help your sect but you repaid kindness with malice, going as far as severing my arm! Today, I will have vengeance and watch the downfall of your sect!â
âThe truth cannot be hidden forever.â The elder ignored him and spoke with the tiger demon instead: âEight Tiger, reconsider this, donât start a war over a junior.â
âHahaha, Iâm afraid this wonât be a war, only a one-sided massacre. This is the end for your sect.â The tiger demon smiled coldly.
âAre you sure about that?â The fifth elderâs tone became serious.
âFifth, you canât scare me. Your sect master is dead so no one in your sect can take me on. I alone can sweep this place uncontested. Whoâs going to stop me?â The demon said.
Junior members of Little Diamond became anxious after hearing this.
âWeâll see about that, Eight Tiger.â The first elder finally appeared on top of a peak.
The demon stared at him and burst out in laughter: âHahaha, long time no see, First Elder. Youâre only at the minor level and canât last that long against me. Itâs over for your sect once I kill you.â
âYou are so sure of victory already.â The elder coldly responded.
Meanwhile, the disciples from Little Diamond crowded near the gate, ready to fight to the death.
They were weaker but had no intention of retreating, ready to die protecting their sect. Thus, Little Diamond had several advantages - defensive position and morale.
âEighty to ninety percent.â The demon said: âBut I do not want needless bloodshed. There is an easy way to make me retreat.â
âWeâre listening.â The first elder said with a sarcastic tone.
âFirstly, hand your new sect master over so I can avenge my nephew. Secondly, hand over your merit laws, including the recently obtained one. Lastly, half of your territories will belong to us.â The demon revealed.
The side of Little Diamond trembled with rage. Their hands shook violently since these conditions were too humiliating. They would rather die fighting.
Ultimately, the last two conditions were akin to a complete takeover. Their sect would only exist in name afterward.
âYour demand is ridiculous! Weâre not that easily bullied. The outcome is still to be decided.â The first elder shouted back.
âIs that so? I guess since you all are courting death, I will lend you a hand. Well, since Iâm so merciful, I will give you three-quarters of an hour first to deliberate. Hmph, if you still wonât concede then, we will attack.â The demon decided.
âRaa!â The demons at the base of the mountain roared after hearing this.
âSect Master, what should we do?â Elder Hu asked Li Qiye who was only looking at the sky, not caring about the demons.
He finally looked down after being asked for a command.
