"Three months later?" Wei Chen was astonished; his luck seemed to be incredibly good.
So, after mingling in the territory of the Red Demon Tribe for a while, he would get to witness the "fierce" Sea Tribe?
Wei Chen asked in surprise, "Really?"
Seeing the look of excitement on Wei Chen's face, Lin Song could only nod helplessly. "That's right. According to common sense, the Sea Tribe will come to raid us in three months."
Lin Song cursed inwardly; this was just typical of you Paralyze. Our disaster in the Red Demon Tribe is about to arrive, and you act like you're so happy about it. What does that even mean?
If it were anyone else, Lin Song would have been furious by now, but because of Wei Chen's identity as the Dark Demon Clan Young Master, he couldn't show even a hint of anger. It was akin to mocking someone else's misfortune, which was a very unkind act. As the leader of the Red Demon Tribe, Lin Song deeply understood the immense damage caused by the Sea Tribe's attacks. In his over two thousand years as leader, he had experienced hundreds of raids by the Sea Tribe. Each time they passed through, they left behind significant scars.
It was no joke; although the Sea Tribe members weren't particularly strong, they came in swarms like locusts or ants—countless and overwhelming. The resistance of the Red Demon Tribe was always scattered, leaving their territory in ruins. It would take several years to recover even a fraction of their strength. Unfortunately, just when they managed to regain some vitality, the Sea Tribe would come again...
Lin Song secretly resented the Black Magic Clan for their ruthlessness and lack of loyalty. The title of being a subordinate force was utterly useless; had the Black Magic Clan ever lent a hand during any of the Sea Tribe's invasions?
After being used as cannon fodder by the Black Magic Clan for countless years, Lin Song could only accept his fate. After all, even if they weren't affiliated with the Black Magic Clan, the outcome would still be the same—they would still suffer attacks from the Sea Tribe, with towns turned into ruins.
However, the people of the Red Demon Tribe had grown accustomed to such encounters.
The problem was that while they were used to that pain, they couldn't allow others to bring it up!
Wei Chen had unknowingly offended someone.
His expression of joy appeared to Lin Song as a form of gloating.
In reality, Wei Chen had no such intention at all.
With his formidable Mental Strength, Wei Chen noticed Lin Song's slight change in expression and sensed it within his Sea of Consciousness. He quickly realized that his reaction might have offended Lin Song.
Looking at Lin Song, he slightly bent forward and clasped his fists together. "Tribe Leader Lin, please forgive my impudence. I am not gloating over your misfortune; I sincerely hope that this time when the Sea Tribe comes, it won't cause too much harm to your Red Demon Tribe."
After a pause, Wei Chen continued, "The reason I appeared so excited earlier is that I came here specifically to deal with the Sea Tribe."
Hearing this, Lin Song exclaimed in surprise, "Young Mistress, are you here to deal with the Sea Tribe?"
"That's right, I'm here to confront the Sea Tribe. My initial plan was to enter the Endless Sea to search for the Sea Tribe and undergo trials, but I happened to meet you and learned that the Sea Tribe is approaching, which made me very happy." Wei Chen spoke with utmost sincerity, and Lin Song felt deeply moved.
For someone of Wei Chen's status to speak to him like this, to apologize, and even to bow down was a rare occurrence. Normally, anyone from the Black Magic Palace, even just a high-ranking guard, would look down on an ordinary clan leader.
The gap in status and strength was immense.
A high-ranking guard from the Black Magic Palace possessed at least peak strength in the Holy Demon Realm. Some were powerful enough to reach the tail end of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm, showcasing considerable prowess. In contrast, the strongest individuals from clans like the Red Demon Tribe were only comparable to those high-ranking guards.
Lin Song's strength was merely at the twenty-eighth level.
With such limited power, who would take him seriously?
In the brutal realm of demons where strength reigned supreme, there were strict hierarchies; those who were weak had no right to stand on the stage.
Lin Song received a long-awaited respect from Wei Chen.
For someone of Wei Chen's stature, simply offering him a smile was enough to bring him immense joy.
Lin Song quickly replied, "Young Mistress, no one dares to complain about you; you worry too much."
"Complaints don't matter; I just want to deal with the Sea Tribe," Wei Chen smiled and added, "Rest assured, I will help with this Sea Tribe invasion of the mainland."
"Dare I ask, Young Mistress, how many people did you bring?" Lin Song looked at Wei Chen eagerly and asked.
Wei Chen chuckled, "Not many. Just those you've seen tonight. One is my friend, and the other is my wife."
Upon hearing this, Lin Song felt somewhat dazed...
This person came alone with the intention of helping the Red Demon Tribe fend off the Sea Tribe's attack?
What about Sword Mountain?
"Is this Young Mistress for real? His strength isn't impressive, and even if it were, he couldn't withstand the assault of millions from the Sea Tribe!"
"Could it be that he's just here to fool around? The reputation of the Red Demon Tribe and Young Mistress is so great; they wouldn't come just to play tricks, would they?"
"Or perhaps he's just here for some fun? Simply to witness the Sea Tribe?"
The more Lin Song thought about it, the more frustrated he became. This was just ridiculous! People from the Black Magic Palace were indeed no good.
But Lin Song dared not voice his thoughts. He respectfully bowed to Wei Chen and said, "Thank you, Young Mistress. With your help, I believe this upcoming raid by the Sea Tribe will face strong resistance."
"Of course! That's exactly why I'm here; otherwise, what would I be doing here?" Wei Chen replied with a cheerful smile.
Lin Song clasped his hands together and said, "Young Mistress, the Sea Tribe will arrive in about three months. Do you have any instructions for me during this time?"
"I wouldn't dare to give instructions, but I would like to explore deeper into the Sea Tribe. Could you arrange for a guide who knows the routes?" Wei Chen looked at Lin Song and said calmly.
Lin Song frowned and asked, "Young Mistress, aren't you bringing anyone with you?"
"No, it's just us few."
"To be honest, Young Mistress, I can't send anyone with you. Forgive my pessimism, but if anything were to happen to you—even if you got a scratch or lost a few hairs—it would be too much for us to bear."
What Lin Song said was true; they simply couldn't afford any risks. If anything happened to Wei Chen in the Endless Sea, the Red Demon Tribe would be in serious trouble.
If the Black Magic Palace pursued the matter, the Red Demon Tribe would be doomed. Everyone in the demon realm knew that Wei Chen was the only bloodline of the Dark Magic Royal Family, the one and only Young Mistress!
With such a status, if anything went wrong, the Red Demon Tribe would face dire consequences as well.
So the guide was dispatched, but Lin Song dared not agree. With that guide present, if Wei Chen encountered any trouble, the Red Demon Tribe would be implicated. Without a guide, even if the Black Magic Palace sought accountability in the end, they wouldn't be able to pin it on the Red Demon Tribe.
The power of the Dark Mage was no joke.
Wei Chen looked at Lin Song and said calmly, "Tribe Leader Lin, rest assured, I won't encounter any issues. Even if something does happen, it won't concern your Red Demon Tribe; I will take full responsibility. When the Sea Tribe is about to attack the mainland, I will return to help you resist them. This is my promise."
"Young Mistress, I really can't agree to this."
Lin Song quickly refused; what kind of joke was this? With Wei Chen's abilities, going to the Endless Sea would be like seeking death.
If you want to seek death, fine, but don't drag our entire Red Demon Tribe down with you!
Lin Song's helplessness was beyond words.
Encountering such a situation was truly unfortunate.
He had initially received news that a warship from the Black Magic Palace had arrived and had intended to get close to someone from the Black Magic Palace to see if he could gain their assistance and minimize the losses of the Red Demon Tribe. Unfortunately, Wei Chen's words made him completely regretful.
He regretted it deeply!
What if something happened to Wei Chen...
The disastrous consequences would be far worse than an attack from the Sea Tribe.
Lin Song felt utterly frustrated, as if his world had shattered.
After a while, Wei Chen began to show signs of impatience.
He looked at Lin Song and said lightly, "Tribe Leader Lin, what if I were to issue an order in my capacity as the Young Master of the Dark Demon Clan?"
Lin Song found himself in a dilemma; with Wei Chen's words reaching this point, refusing was no longer an option.
But agreeing would tie the fate of the Red Demon Tribe to Wei Chen's own fate as he ventured into the Endless Sea.
But could he refuse?
When Wei Chen brought up his identity as the Young Master of the Dark Demon Clan, Lin Song had no reason to decline.
He had to agree.
There was no other choice.
It was like when your superior gave you an order, fully aware that it would lead to problems, knowing it was wrong, yet you still had to follow through.
After a long silence, Lin Song finally nodded with difficulty and clasped his fists toward Wei Chen, saying, "Young Mistress, I will find a guide for you to choose from. If you are not satisfied, we can change."
"That sounds great, thank you. When I return, I will reward you," Wei Chen replied with a cheerful smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Song felt a deep sense of despair.
Oh my lord, as long as our ancestor is safe, I am content; what need do I have for rewards?
...
After the banquet, Lin Song settled Wei Chen and the others in and then gathered the senior members of his clan to discuss the demands proposed by Wei Chen.
He understood the seriousness of the situation clearly.
This matter could only be agreed upon; there was no other way out.
However, while having no options, Lin Song also kept a cautious mind.
If we send someone of the Young Mistress level from our Red Demon Tribe to act as your guide, even if something goes wrong and the Black Magic Palace comes after us, we would have lost a Young Mistress. They couldn't possibly wipe out our Red Demon Tribe completely, could they?
Lin Song's choice was a Royal Family Member from the Red Demon Tribe; such a status would minimize the potential losses for Wei Chen.
All of his thoughts were laid bare before everyone present.
The members of the Red Demon Tribe wore grim expressions, believing that the Black Magic Clan was exerting its overwhelming power over them.
"Tribe Leader, this is a death wish. We could just send anyone to do it; why waste resources?"
"Yes, Tribe Leader, we shouldn't let our promising young people go to their deaths. Venturing into the Endless Sea is a guaranteed way to perish."
"I don't understand what that Young Mistress of the Black Magic Palace is thinking. She goes in without bringing anyone along, seeking to delve into the Endless Sea—it's simply suicidal."
"If they want to seek death and need someone to take the fall with them, we have no choice but to comply, right? After all, our status as the Red Demon Tribe can't compare to the Black Magic Clan. Any team they send could easily wipe us out."
"That's for sure; there's no comparison."
After some negotiation, everyone agreed with Lin Song's proposal to send an important member of the royal family to act as a guide for Wei Chen. If anything went wrong, they could find an excuse and avoid offending the Black Magic Palace.
If they offended the Black Magic Palace, the Red Demon Tribe would no longer be able to exist in the Demon Realm.
Despite the Red Demon Tribe's low status in the Demon Realm, being able to maintain their independence as a tribe was quite remarkable. Even though they faced threats from the Sea Tribe every eleven years, the Red Demon Tribe always managed to recover.
Their geographical proximity to the Endless Sea and favorable climate allowed for abundant food supplies within the Red Demon Tribe, making it almost like a granary for the Black Magic Palace.
