"I'll say it right now. This is bullshit!" Demon Lee imdiately burst his thoughts without care right at the start of their eting. His anger about recent events truly couldn't be contained. "After all this searching, how can no one know just who did this?!"
Demon Jude and Tomas held equally furious expressions.
None of them knew just who the hell to bla for this whole ss. The loss of several backbone mbers of their group, yet not knowing who to place their revenge on, drove them insane.
Demon Percy was the only that held a calm but grim expression.
His mind attempted to quickly rationalize all that was happening. Although, even after so much ti passing, his mind still stayed in a chaotic loop.
Like Demon Lee, Demon Jude also couldn't hold his emotion. He tightly gripped the round table they were seated around, his eyes twinkling in rage.
"First, so mysterious Spirit Monster Horder wipes out a seventh-level group. And now? Our ninth-level Leader and his whole squadron got wiped out! I refuse to believe sothing shifty isn't going on!"
A malevolent light glead in Demon Tomas's eyes as he also joined in the conversation. "You know what's really odd? I did sense those Snow Bitches leave the City just earlier today. I ignored it, but looking back on it.they were the only powerful ones leaving the City today."
Demon Jude and Lee furrowed their eyebrows at first. But almost imdiately, their eyes began to shine in a similar devious light as Demon Tomas.
Even if it was so little to go off on, the probability was still there.
Demon Tomas's lips began to cruelly smirk as he saw the other Demon Leaders catch on to his suggestion. "You know.those bitches never did like us. And even if the probability is so minuscule, just maybe."
"Let's not past grievances cloud our judgnt." Demon Percy suddenly spoke up, cutting in the devious atmosphere.
The other Demon Leaders looked like for a brief mont they wanted to protest. However, with just one even stare from Demon Percy, the other Demon Leaders backed down.
As strong as all three of them were, they all know who commanded the most authority here.
Demon Percy slightly nodded as they backed off. He continued on to say, "While it's not impossible to rule them out, it's highly unlikely those won have anything to do with this. Even if all four of the Snow Angel Leaders magically beca Ninth level Heavenly Kings, they still wouldn't be able to wipe Mikal and his whole squadron."
It didn't help lessen the three Demon Leaders' anger, but they did see Demon Percy's point.
No matter how strong Ninth level Heavenly Kings are, every rcenary group was sufficiently prepared with special Spirit Artifacts and talisman to help counter them.
On this point, this whole situation just made even less sense to the Demon Leaders. Just what kind of power was used to effectively go against an entire squadron of Spirit Artifacts and talisman?
Demon Jude, Tomas, and Lee were assured of knowing every rcenary group in the City. And not a single one of these groups ever spawn that kind of unfathomable power in the countless years this event has been going on.
As the three Demon Leaders were contemplating, Demon Percy asked another question.
"Just.did anybody notice anything unusual these past couple of days? I seriously can't tell, seeing as everything has been nearly the sa as ever up to this point."
Demon Judas, Lee, and Tomas all vividly recalled their past few days.
They tried to pinpoint any strange or unusual detail that they may have ignored. Yet, no matter how hard they tried, absolutely nothing popped into their minds.
"Nothing at all." The three Demon Leaders simultaneously spoke while shaking their heads.
Everything about this trail of killing was just ending up at a dead end. And the Demon Leaders know they can't falsely accuse any rcenary group without facing dire consequences.
Before Demon Percy responded, though, a minor mory streaked into Demon Judas's mind. This mory was so brief and minor he honestly forgot it ever happened.
He quickly spoke up first, saying, "Well.actually, there is one maybe odd thing. But it's related to the Golden Crow Circle. I'm sure you all also know what I'm referring to since I'm bringing it up now."
Demon Tomas, Lee, and Percy slightly furrowed their eyebrows.
They began recalling a bit of the Golden Crow Circle. And quickly, their eyes lit up in slight realization.
Seeing their expressions, Demon Judas continued on. "Yea.that brazen showcase of power. I guess that could be considered odd. But after that day, they've been really quiet."
"It could be them, but I doubt it. Plus, it's best we avoid ssing with them for now. Their incredibly aggressive attitude towards others is damn annoying." Demon Lee stated, having a slightly different tune about the Golden Crow Circle.
All four Demon Leaders didn't have to be a genius to know that out of all rcenary groups, it's disastrous to interact with the Golden Crow Circle in any way.
They may not outright fear them, but they clearly had more respect for them than the Snow Angel group.
All this really ans, though, is that they're back to square one.
Demon Percy let out a hefty sigh. "Haah.this is a heavy loss for us. But.we won't let this stop our plans."
At the ntion of their plans, the other three Demon Leaders perked up.
A tiny glint twinkled in Demon Percy's eyes as he continued on. "We're going to need to set up another eting with the Raven Mage Order group and try to appease them the best way we can. We need whatever is inside that cave and to stay on their good graces."
Demon Judas, Tomas, and Lee exhaled a similar hefty sigh.
None of them wanted to bow their heads to those arrogant Mages. But they also knew their help would be invaluable in every aspect.
"Before we deal with those stuck-up pricks, first we need to calm down the mbers and get everything back in order. Hopefully.no more strange mishaps will happen after this." Demon Judas said while trying to mask the worry in his tone.
Although, not only he but the other Demon Leaders as well felt odd.
They pushed it down to the far regions of their minds, not wanting to even entertain the thought.
But none of the four Demon Leaders could wholly suppress a strange, ominous feeling they have about the whole rcenary Event.
.
Inside a profoundly black-coated room, an oppressive atmosphere perated the entire area. If any Early or Middle-rank Heavenly Kings were to enter this room, they would be brought to their very knees.
A power far different from Qi stord the air here. This level of power wasn't even done by a large group of people.
There were only two people in the room, and both were wearing matching outfits.
They had black robes that had two Raven birds design inscribed on them.
These two were Leaders of the whole Raven Mage Order group. They were correctly titled Raven Leader Madu and Amir.
Raven Leader Madu wore a simple indifferent expression on his face as he stared at Raven Amir.
While Raven Amir spouted a slightly annoyed expression like he was just fed so troubleso news. Raven Amir was speaking first in their eting as he was saying,
"After exploring that sight for all this ti, I'm unmistaken on who could cause that destruction. The Ice Nine Tail geniuses must've arrived."
Raven Madu raised a curious eyebrow. He held no significant change in expression, though. Their Mage's intelligence network reaches far and wide, so they were aware of the Ice Nine Tail sect's presence in the City.
But very few out of the rcenary groups know of this secret.
With how imnsely powerful the Ice Nine Tail sect is, Raven Madu wasn't seeing why the geniuses from there would waste their ti exploring around the Wild Snow Land.
Raven Madu started to ask, "What makes you think they.Oh, I see. The fire destruction, right? In terms of that, wouldn't the Golden Crow Circle make for a better suspect from this event?"
Raven Amir beca increasingly assured of himself as he quickly responded.
"No, the Golden Crow Circle only has so slightly special fake flas. But the Ice Nine Tail Sect, they're the real deal in their flas power. Plus, there have been several legendary geniuses from there that could easily fight above their base realm. Those kinds of youths are coming down here and may already be here. Besides them.not even the Golden Crow Circle could ammas that kind of destruction."
Raven Madu briefly pauses before answering back. He knows that the Ice Nine Tail Sect, despite their imnse influence on the whole Icy Cloud Province, aren't the most welcoming people, to put it lightly.
Raven Madu closed his eyes, telling Raven Amir, "If it's really is them, then we all will have much fiercer competition this year compared to the last events. But, we still have no evidence at all. Plus, if it really was them, there would be simply nothing we could do about it. None of us rcenary groups can go against that Sect."
Compared to how the White Demon group mbers reacted, the Raven Mage Order Leaders was clearly taking their loss much more calmly.
Raven Likal certainly was a valuable mber, but they also understood whoever did this is a monstrous powerhouse.
However, there still was a twinkle shimring in Raven Amir's eyes. "From all around, it seems like these cultivators are becoming undeniably more troubleso. This will only make things more.satisfying when we show them their proper place in this event."
The sa devious light glowing in Raven Amir's eyes also appeared in Raven Madu's eyes as he said, "Indeed. And after this event, we can slowly increase it until the whole Icy Cloud Province knows where cultivators truly belong."
