In the Lawless Land, the Mu En Clan.
Inside a vast underground secret chamber, numerous Demon Race members were gathered.
The ten Demon Race members at the very front possessed terrifying auras; they were all Heaven Realm Demon Race Members!
At this moment, the gazes of these Heaven Realm Demon Race Members were uniformly fixed upon the tall, imposing figure of Muen standing on the high platform at the front.
He wore a deep green long robe adorned with golden patterns, and the exposed skin possessed a Xuan green hue.
"Lord Muen, all core members of the Family are assembled and ready to act at any moment!"
Upon hearing this, Muen slowly turned around, his narrow eyes flashing with a cold light, revealing an imposing aura that brooked no defiance.
"Very well, today is the moment for my Mu En Clan to completely take charge of the Lawless Land! When the sun rises tomorrow, the Ronin Alliance and the Brocade Snake Manor will cease to exist in the Lawless Land!"
Muen's steady and powerful voice echoed throughout the spacious secret chamber, showcasing its burgeoning ambition.
The assembled Demon Race members looked excited, their faces showing bloodthirsty intent.
They knelt down one after another, facing Muen, and let out deafening shouts.
"Lord Muen, we will follow you in battle until our very last breath!"
"We are willing to march with Lord Muen and share a glorious destiny with you!"
"For Lord Muen, for the Mu En Clan!"
Fervent responses rose one after another, and surging Battle Intent soared.
Abasi, one of the ten Heaven Realm Demon Race Members, was also prostrating on the ground, a flicker of worry crossing its eyes.
Muen had actually moved up the time for the action!
The original plan was for half a month later, but now, only a week had passed, and they were already mobilized for action!
This sudden change caught it completely off guard.
Under the current circumstances, it had no means to contact Elder Elsa!
Various thoughts flashed through Abasi's mind.
After the responses from the multitude of Demon Race members gradually subsided, the secret chamber fell silent once more.
Muen slowly descended from the high platform; only the rhythmic sound of its footsteps echoed in the entire chamber.
It walked down the platform step by step, passing before the ten Heaven Realm Demon Race Members.
Finally...
It stopped in front of Abasi.
"Abasi... you are my most trusted right and left hand..."
Muen placed a hand on Abasi's head, its tone amiable: "You followed me so early on; the Mu En Clan's success today is largely thanks to you."
Abasi listened silently, a sense of unease instinctively surging in its heart.
Why would Muen suddenly say such things without reason?
Muen sighed softly, revealing a trace of sorrow, and its tone became low: "How I wish I could walk with you until the very end. To share this glory with you."
Abasi's heart sank.
"But you... Why must you betray me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, numerous Demon Race members looked over, and gasps of surprise and amazement arose throughout the secret chamber.
The nine other Heaven Realm Demon Race Members standing alongside Abasi also showed surprise and astonishment, looking at Abasi in unison.
Abasi was greatly shaken, but its excellent composure allowed it to maintain a normal expression.
"Lord Muen, forgive Abasi for being dull, but I do not understand what you mean."
Muen shook its head: "No, you understand. I truly wish you didn't understand... What Elsa cannot give you, I can give you. What Elsa can give you, I can give you much more. Why on earth must you betray me?"
As the voice fell, the hand Muen had placed on Abasi's head suddenly exerted force.
The fierce and powerful hand clamped down on Abasi's skull like a vise!
Abasi's face showed bulging veins, and its expression was one of extreme agony.
Piercing screams echoed in the secret chamber.
"Lord Muen, could there be some misunderstanding in this?"
"Yes, my Lord, Abasi has always been with us; how could it be a traitor?"
"It was Abasi who recommended me to join the Mu En Clan..."
Several Heaven Realm Demon Race Members spoke up, pleading for Abasi.
Muen's voice was sorrowful: "I also wish that I were mistaken. Do you remember the specific time for the action I told you about?"
The several Heaven Realm Demon Race Members nodded, but the answers they gave were not entirely the same.
Some said ten days, some said twelve days, and some said a month.
The nine Heaven Realm Demon Race Members looked at each other, and the quick-witted ones quickly realized the truth.
"The action times I told each of you were different, but only Abasi—I told it the action time was half a month. And the intelligence my mole in the Brocade Snake Manor received stated the action time was also half a month. I suspected there was an inside ghost in the Family long ago, but I never expected it to be Abasi..."
Everyone instantly understood, and they all looked at Abasi, their expressions complicated, gradually turning to anger.
Abasi showed a look of sorrow and sudden realization; so that's how it was...
This Old Demon was truly cunning and treacherous!
Muen smiled cryptically: "However, thanks to you, by passing on the incorrect intelligence, you misled the Brocade Snake Manor. Not only the wrong action time, but also the wrong strength Realm..."
As the words ended, the aura of Heaven Realm Fifth Layer radiated out, and a pressure descended, causing the numerous Demon Race members to kneel even lower.
Abasi's eyes widened; Muen had actually broken through to the Heaven Realm Fifth Layer!
The higher the Realm, the more difficult the Breakthrough for every single layer, and the greater the disparity in strength.
Even a misjudgment of one level of strength could potentially cause the entire plan to collapse.
Abasi's mind flashed with the image of Elsa, and the worry in its heart deepened.
"But I never expected that demoness Elsa would refuse my Alliance and instead seek cooperation with the Human Race. She truly disgraces our Demon Race!"
Abasi suddenly became furious, broke free from Muen's grasp, and its True Qi surged: "Muen, I advise you to watch your words carefully. Elsa is not someone you are permitted to profane!"
Muen looked surprised, then seemed to suddenly understand something: "Ah... is that so? No wonder, even though I gave you so much, and I believe I never mistreated you, you still chose to betray me."
Muen looked indifferently at Abasi, True Qi surging within its body, and a trace of green appeared in its eyes.
"Don't worry, I will send you down first, and then I will send Elsa down to accompany you later. Of course... That will be after I have thoroughly played with her."
Upon hearing this, Abasi exploded in rage and immediately transformed into its true form!
Its pitch-black scales were smooth and delicate, reflecting faint, eerie light in the dim illumination of the secret chamber.
Its long venomous fangs resembled deadly blades, emitting a chilling and cold aura.
A giant black ringed snake coiled and writhed on the ground, its forked tongue flicking out as its triangular eyes stared fixedly at Muen.
The next second, its tail swept horizontally toward Muen!
"You court death!"
Muen coldly snorted, its Heaven Realm Fifth Layer True Qi surging, and it directly struck out at Abasi.
After a few exchanges, the silver-ringed snake's body was covered in horrific, deep-to-the-bone wounds.
Abasi's aura was weak, and blood had nearly stained its entire body.
But it still attacked Muen frantically; the entire scene was bloody and tragic.
Elsa... this is the last thing I can do for you.
To use my death to remind you that the situation has changed.
Another Demonic Technique swept toward it from Muen, and Abasi let out a mournful cry as its massive snake body crashed down.
Its life force rapidly drained away, the light in its snake eyes faded, and its gaze gradually became vacant.
In a daze, Abasi seemed to see Elsa again, her brow furrowed as she reviewed intelligence reports.
Don't frown... it makes you look less pretty.
Abasi forced out an ugly smile.
Elsa, farewell...
