The Eunuch stepped forward and spoke, "The divine beast, the White Tiger, has died in Black Mountain. It must have been the work of the Black Mountain Old Demon."
"Impossible," the young man interrupted. "I know the strength of the Black Mountain Old Demon; he is at the Yuan Shen Realm, yet he is not a match for the White Tiger."
The Eunuch shook his head. "It is said that there is a Jiao Long in Black Mountain, and it was he who killed the divine beast, the White Tiger."
"What? A Jiao Long? The Overseas Dragon Clan has intervened?" The young man stood up in shock.
His eyes blazed with fire; if the Overseas Dragon Clan had killed the White Tiger, he would not dare to act alone.
"The king is mistaken; it is not the Overseas Dragon Clan, just a wild Jiao Long," the Eunuch quickly clarified.
"Hmm? How do you know this?" The young man looked suspiciously at the Eunuch, wondering if he was being set up.
"To be honest, we first sought out the Dongting Lake Dragon Lord; it was he who informed us," the Eunuch admitted without concealment.
The young man paused for a moment before nodding slightly. "So that's how it is."
Just then, a shadow flashed, and the Eagle Demon appeared in the hall.
"My king, the White Tiger King has no home. According to Little Demon from White Tiger Ridge, the White Tiger King left long ago and took away many Great Demon Kings."
The young man's expression turned cold; it seemed that the White Tiger had truly left. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been gone for so long without returning.
The Eagle Demon's face changed. "My king, what should we do? Should we notify the other demon kings?"
The young man's eyes narrowed, a glint of greed flashing within them. "No need. A Jiao Long is not something one encounters easily, especially a wild one."
A strange light flickered in the Eunuch's eyes as he suddenly said, "My king, the Dragon Lord said that as long as we can invite one demon king from Ten Thousand Mountains to join us, he will also take action."
The young man's eyes gleamed. "Is that true?"
"Absolutely. Otherwise, why would we risk coming to Ten Thousand Mountains?" The Eunuch replied helplessly.
The young man nodded, feeling more confident. Even if he had to share spoils with the Dragon Lord, he would still get half—definitely not a loss.
However, if they sought out demons from Ten Thousand Mountains, it was uncertain whether they could keep their secret. If too many demon kings came, how would they divide things then?
"Since that's settled, let's go." The young man was decisive in his actions.
"My king, how many people should we bring?" The Eagle Demon quickly asked.
"It's just you and me; what's the point of having more people?" the young man said.
"Yes, my lord," the Eagle Demon replied, not daring to say more.
The young man glanced at the Second Prince and said to the Eunuch, "Take him with you. Let's hurry."
The Eunuch sighed in relief. "Rest assured, my lord. We will definitely keep up."
In Guobei County, Qin Feng stood at the City Gate, with Nie Xiaoqian beside him.
"Qin Ge, is Sister Wan'er really back?" she asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Yes, look over there. I bet that's their carriage," Qin Feng pointed into the distance.
Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly looked over and indeed saw a carriage faintly visible in the distance.
"Is that them? That's amazing!" Nie Xiaoqian nearly couldn't hold back her urge to run over.
As the carriage drew closer, they could see it more clearly, and behind it was a large crowd of people.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the city gate. The curtain was lifted, and a small figure rushed out first.
"Brother!" she exclaimed as she leaped into Qin Feng's arms.
Qin Feng smiled and ruffled Qin Wan'er's hair. "Did you have fun in the capital?"
Qin Wan'er sniffled and said, "I did, but without you, it just felt like something was missing."
