The Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range was the lifeline of every city, and the caravan being robbed and killed was absolutely fatal. Not only would it cause direct losses, it would also create a huge psychological trauma for the caravan's operation, and if they were serious, they would refuse to join the caravan. Without a caravan, there would be no benefits.
Demon Marshall Cang Li, who was already used to standing on Xu Sanjiu's side and considering the situation, was extremely worried that Xu Sanjiu would tolerate this matter.
It was not because he felt that Xu Sanjian was a person without courage. If he did not have courage, he would not be able to reach his current position. However, in order to not let the chaos that gradually emerged in White Star City affect Su Ye's cultivation, Xu Sandao had been tolerating a lot of things during this period of time, which made him a little worried.
However, he had still underestimated Xu SanDao.
That's right, for the current Xu Sanjiu, nothing was as important as creating a good cultivation environment for Su Ye. Other than Su Ye's cultivation, everything else was trivial, including the benefits of the entire White Star City.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Sandao might have pretended to be deaf and mute. To him, sacrificing a little bit of the City of Blazing simply didn't matter.
However, he understood very well that this matter seemed to be caused by White Hill City's raiding and murdering of the trade caravan of White Star City. It was just a dispute over the benefits. But in reality, they were being aimed at him, or even Su Ye.
The reason was simple. If it was simply to kill, then there was no need for the experts of White Hill City to openly provoke them after killing them. After completing the assassination, they would immediately retreat. Silently making a fortune was the most reasonable logic.
Therefore, he seriously suspected that White Hill City was planning this assassination. The purpose was to enrage him and lure him to White Hill City. She even used him as bait to lure Su Ye out. After all, so much time had passed, even though he had already given the order to keep Su Ye's existence a secret from the start, but who could guarantee that the people with ill intentions would not secretly leak out the news of Su Ye's existence?
However, if that was the case, Xu Sandao definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
Therefore, he decided to take action immediately, nipping everything in its bud.
However, since he was going to take action, he had to hit the target. He had to kill off all the enemies in one hit and kill off all the ambitions of those who harbored ill intentions.
"Of course, this matter cannot be tolerated. How about this ?"
Xu Sandao thought for a moment and immediately had Demon Lord Cang Li gather the people he needed. During this assassination attempt, all sorts of signs could be seen that the Tuo City had a plan. If he wanted to take care of the White Hill City, he must not let his guard down, and must gather all of his trusted aides and experts.
Thus far, after taking into account the deaths of the two Demon Elders, his trusted aides were mainly Supreme Blood, Demon Elder Cang Li, Profound Cave, profound formation, Wu Meng, Ancient Sacrifice, Demon Marshall You and the rest.
In addition, there were the two Deputy City Lords whom he had promoted after becoming City Lord, as well as the other two Vice City Lords that had approached him after that. Adding these four Vice City Lords' subordinates, there were a total of 27 people.
This was already quite a strong force, with Demon Elder You Zhen being the strongest amongst them. Because of Su Ye's benefits, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds to the peak of the third grade, and he was only a step away from becoming a mid-ranked Demon Elder, even faster than Xu Sanjiu.
If it was just that, it would definitely not be enough to find White Hill City and settle the score.
The strength of White Hill City was not much weaker than the Searing White City. Similarly, there was a City Lord with nine Vice City Lords. Amongst them, there were six Mid Tier Demon Saints.
Compared to an ordinary Infernal King, a middle-ranked one was much stronger. Just these 27 people alone were enough to deal with the White Hill City. The White Hill City did not even need to do anything, just sending 2 Mid Tier Demon Masters was already enough to make them return empty-handed, and even inflicting heavy injuries on them would not be difficult.
Therefore, if they really wanted to deal with White Hill City, they would have to mobilize the entirety of the City of Blaze to have Demonshine and the rest attack them. Only they, the Mid Rank Demon Masters, were able to deal with the Mid Rank Demon Marshall.
However, what gave Xu Sandao a headache was that he didn't have the same thoughts as Demonshine and the rest. Aside from not openly going against him, they often played some tricks in the dark, so it was hard for him to believe that they would go all out.
In fact, Xu Sandao had an even more terrifying suspicion. If White Hill City's business group was really planning to deal with Su Ye, then wouldn't there be a traitor within Devil King's group that colluded with outsiders?
If there really was a traitor, then all the spies that had gathered to deal with White Hill City would turn into a joke.
After thinking it over, he decided not to disturb the people from the Demonic Swamp for the time being. He summoned one of his trusted aides and told him to go to the Southern City Garden to invite the Snow Demon Sovereign.
If one were to talk about the Snow Demon Sovereign, not only was Xu Sanjian envious, he was also envious.
In reality, none of them knew of the Snow Demon Sovereign. At most, they had only heard of him.
It was only after he subdued the white-haired Venerable Blood Sovereign and Demon Elder Cang Li from the Wasteland that he went back to look for Su Ye and found out that he had inadvertently walked past him and offended him. In the end, Su Ye personally suppressed him and after that, Su Ye took him in as a servant.
In the eyes of those who did not know this, for a grand Demon Lord to be forced to become the servant of a Demon General after being punished by the Demon General was an extremely tragic thing. However, in the eyes of Xu Sanjiu, this was the greatest fortuitous encounter of Snowfiend Lord's life.
Xu Sandao had reason to believe that in the seven months of time that he had spent busy taking over the city and cultivating, the Demon Elder, who had been cultivating by Su Ye's side, had definitely advanced by leaps and bounds.
The busier they were, and the less time they had to cultivate, the more Xu Sanjian envied the Demon Elder, who was able to focus on nothing but his cultivation.2
Fortunately, in these seven months, Su Ye had not ignored him. Occasionally, he would ask the Head of the Illusionary Void Clan to come out and send him some Water of Chaos and profound truths about the Great Way of the Buddha, which made him feel somewhat comforted.
Not long after, about a quarter of an hour passed.
Demon Lord Cang Li had gone to gather people, but before he could do so, his subordinates, who had gone to invite him, had already arrived with him.
"Snow Demon ? I am truly sorry for disturbing your cultivation... "Hmm?"
He was, after all, Su Ye's close servant, and his status was only slightly lower than Su Qingwu's group of four. Because of some trivial matters, the Snow Demon Sovereign would have to interrupt his cultivation, so he was not necessarily happy.
However, the aura emitted from her body was actually as vast as a sea of smoke. It was as if she could see the vast expanse of the endless snowy plains and an ancient beast was slowly recovering from the endless snow.
With just a single glance from the Demon Lord, he was already trembling with horror.
This Demon Elder's cultivation base was definitely at the intermediate level. Furthermore, it was not as simple as the intermediate fourth-grade Demon Lord. It was very likely that he was a fifth-grade Demon Elder.
"Oh my god... It's only been seven months, and this Snow Demon Sovereign has already improved so much? " Xu SanDao roared internally. He no longer knew how to express his strong envy.
Seven months, just seven months.
Seven months ago, when he first met the Snow Demon Sovereign, she was only at the peak of the first grade. Although his battle power was extraordinary and he could fight against a second-grade Demon Lord, he was no match for him, so he did not take it to heart.
In the blink of an eye, the Snow Demon Sovereign had already turned around and far surpassed him. He was like a stray dog that had been left behind, not even able to eat the dust.
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?" However, the Demon Lord did not care about the shock on Xu SanDao's face. He went straight to the point. To her, every minute and every second was precious.
Xu Sanjiu was startled and quickly retracted the admiration in his heart. He quickly and concisely recounted the matter, including his suspicions.
"In that case, we will inform everyone. Tell them that the merchant caravan's assassination is everyone's business, and everyone should do their best to help."
Xu Sandao was shocked. He assumed that the Snow Demon Sovereign did not want to contribute, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to speak. Snowfiend waved his hand to stop them, saying, "You've already informed everyone. I'm afraid if someone truly had ulterior motives, they would not intervene. Remember those people. Tell me, I will clean them all up in one go."
"As for White Hill City, I'll accompany you there when the time comes."
As he finished speaking, a dense killing intent could be seen in the bloodshot eyes of the Demon Sovereign. It was filled with a bloodthirsty aura.
When Xu Sandao looked at it, he could not help but feel fear. He thought that this Snow Demon Elder's killing intent was really too strong, it became even more terrifying after Su Ye.
He could not help but feel sorrow towards those who harbored malicious intentions.
However, he was not a merciful person. Since his thoughts were crooked, there was no need for him to exist. To use the resources that he had painstakingly obtained from the White Burning City, to enjoy the rights to do so while destroying the entire city, this sort of person would never be able to appease him even after killing him once.
Moreover, he had had enough of those people who went against the rules. Since even Demon Sovereign Snow was prepared to kill him, he had no intention of enduring it any longer. After cleaning everything up in one go, he would save himself the trouble of spending all his effort to deal with it.
"Alright!"
Just as Xu Sanjiu agreed, Demon Sovereign Cang Li led a group of people. There were more than twenty Demon Elders that came with him. All of them had expressions of righteous indignation on their faces. Xu SanDao did not bother with pleasantries and immediately had Demon Marshall Cang Li go to notify the rest.
