Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers
Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Forces have arrived

Inside the meeting place, the leaders of the alliance had been deep in discussion when the sound of battle reached their ears. Shanon Wei, the leader of the Vermillion Bird Clan, narrowed his eyes, his feathers bristling.

"What's going on out there?" Shanon Wei demanded, his voice sharp. He turned toward Qing Tian, who was already on edge. "Is this another one of your mistakes, Qing Tian?"

Qing Tian growled, his claws flexing. "This has nothing to do with me! Someone must be attacking our guards!"

Viker Kim, the leader of the Bloodmoon Wolf Clan, growled low in his throat, his sharp eyes gleaming with suspicion. "It better not be your tigers messing up again, Qing Tian."

Serong Yu, the Black Serpent Tribe leader, hissed angrily, his forked tongue flicking out. "Let's go see who dares to attack us."

As the leaders rushed outside, they were greeted by the sight of their guards lying dead or wounded on the ground. At the center of the battlefield stood Aric, his sword dripping with blood, his expression calm and confident.

Shanon Wei's eyes narrowed in fury. "Who is this?!"

Aric turned to face them, his smirk never fading. "Oh, you've finally come out. Took you long enough."

Qing Tian, enraged by the sight of his fallen tigers, snarled. "You... you dare attack us? Who are you?!"

Aric smirked, his eyes gleaming with malice as he spoke in a voice dripping with arrogance. "I am the new protector of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. You may know me as Long Tianyun, the first descendant of the Heavenly Demonic Sect."

Qing Tian's snarl turned into a wicked laugh, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. "You foolish human! You think your sect can save you? Divine Transformation Realm warriors like us are leagues above you! What can one man do against the might of our alliance?"

Aric's smirk widened, his tone mocking as he replied, "Do you even have brains, you puny tiger? Attack me, and you'll face the wrath of my sect. Though to be honest, I won't need their help. I alone am more than enough to kill all of you. If you dare, attack me and become a sacrifice."

Provoked by Aric's words, Qing Tian roared in fury, his massive form lunging forward. "I'll tear you apart!" His claws crackled with energy as he prepared to strike, but before he could get too close, Shanon Wei raised a hand, stopping him.

Shanon's eyes narrowed, studying Aric. "Wait, Qing Tian. There's something off about this. We need to understand if he's bluffing or if he's truly as strong as he claims."

But Qing Tian was beyond reasoning, his rage boiling over. "He killed my tigers! This fool mocked our strength! I'll kill him!" Ignoring Shanon, Qing Tian charged at Aric, his claws aimed directly for his throat.

Aric laughed, sidestepping effortlessly, his body moving like a shadow. "Ah, yes, your tigers. Such a pitiful lot. I quite enjoyed their suffering, to be honest. Watching them cry out in agony before I cut them down was... entertaining."

Qing Tian's fury exploded as he swung his claws again, but Aric parried the blow with his Demonic Requiem Sword, the force of their clash sending shockwaves through the ground.

"You think you can provoke me?" Qing Tian roared, slashing wildly, his claws tearing through the air.

Aric dodged each attack effortlessly, his smirk never fading. "Is this all the great Qing Tian can muster? I expected more from someone who claims to be in the Divine Transformation Realm. Pathetic."

"You bastard!" Qing Tian lunged again, his body crackling with energy. "I'll make you regret mocking us!"

Aric activated his technique—Eclipsing Shadow Blade, his sword leaving a trail of dark energy as it collided with Qing Tian's claws. The impact was brutal, and the tiger was forced back, his body skidding across the ground.

"What's wrong, tiger? Did I hit a nerve?" Aric's voice was cold, mocking as he continued. "Watching your tigers die was only the beginning. I sliced through them like they were nothing. The best part was hearing their final cries... so pitiful."

Qing Tian roared in fury, charging forward with all his might, but Aric was faster, disappearing from sight with Phantom Strike. He reappeared behind Qing Tian, slashing through his defenses and landing a powerful blow on his back.

Qing Tian staggered, his body bleeding from multiple wounds, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "I won't let you... get away with this..."

Before Qing Tian could recover, Shanon Wei stepped forward, his eyes glowing with fierce determination. "Enough!" he commanded. "We can't allow this to continue. If we don't act now, our plan will fail. Everyone, attack him together!"

The alliance leaders charged at Aric, their combined auras filling the air with overwhelming power. The ground trembled as the leaders of the Black Serpent Tribe, Bloodmoon Wolf Clan, Vermillion Bird Clan, and Demonic Tiger Clan surrounded him.

Aric grinned, his hand slipping into his storage ring. "Sorry, but I'm not in the mood for a group fight right now." With a swift motion, he activated a teleportation talisman, his body vanishing just before their attacks could land.

The alliance leaders' attacks hit the ground, their combined strength tearing through the earth, leaving a massive crater where Aric had stood moments ago.

"He's gone!" Viker Kim growled, his claws digging into the ground in frustration.

But as the dust settled, a scroll appeared in the air, slowly drifting down to the center of the battlefield.

Shanon Wei snatched it up, his eyes scanning the contents. As he read, his expression twisted in fury.

"What does it say?" Serong Yu hissed, his forked tongue flicking out impatiently.

Shanon's voice trembled with rage as he read aloud. "If you have the guts, come and meet me at the Longshuan Mountain tonight. Otherwise, you will face the wrath of the Heavenly Demonic Sect tomorrow. Oh, and when I kill all of you, I'll roast your tribes for dinner. The wolves, birds, tigers, and serpents will all make a fine feast. I'll skin your families and hang them in my chambers for decoration.

Ha ha ha ha!"

The leaders' faces contorted with anger, their auras flaring violently.

Qing Tian's body trembled with rage, blood still dripping from his wounds. "He dared mock us! I'll rip him apart limb from limb!"

Viker Kim's growl deepened, his eyes glowing with fury. "That bastard! He wants to feast on our clans? I'll tear his heart out!"

Serong Yu's body coiled tighter, his forked tongue flicking angrily. "We'll kill him. He won't escape us this time."

Shanon Wei crushed the scroll in his hand, his fiery wings flaring as flames began to rise around him. "We'll hunt him down. He thinks he can challenge us? We'll destroy him and hang his head as a warning to all."

Meanwhile, high in the Longshuan Mountains, Long Tianyun sat in a secluded cave, his body glowing with dark energy as he absorbed the essence of the surrounding area. His cultivation had grown immensely over the past few days, and the aura of Spirit Severing (1st Stage) now pulsed around him.

He opened his eyes, his expression one of quiet satisfaction. "The Demonic Devouring Art has served me well," he muttered to himself, clenching his fist as he felt the newfound power coursing through his veins. "These beasts were useful after all."

In the past few days, he absorbed the essence of the beast and uplifted his cultivation. The Demonic Devouring art allowed him to absorb the essence from the demonic core of the beast.

Long Tianyun stood, stretching his arms as he gazed out over the vast expanse of the mountains. "With this strength, I will crush Ye Chen. There's no way he'll stand a chance now." His thoughts flickered to his sister, Daniela, and a small smile crossed his lips. "And once I defeat him, my sister will respect me again. She'll finally understand that I was only protecting her."

He had no idea of the storm brewing beneath him, a scheme far greater than his own personal ambitions. The alliance of demonic beasts had already begun their march, and they were closing in on him.

In the distance, the demonic forces of the alliance marched steadily toward the Longshuan Mountains, their eyes filled with determination and rage. Shanon Wei led the charge, his fiery wings spreading wide as he soared above the army, his eyes locked on their destination.

"We must be careful," Shanon warned, his voice carrying across the ranks. "Long Tianyun may have more tricks up his sleeve. He's a member of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, after all. But this time, we'll end him. He won't leave these mountains alive."

Qing Tian, still seething with anger, growled as he walked beside Viker Kim. "I don't care what kind of tricks he has. He'll pay for killing my tigers. I'll tear him limb from limb."

Viker nodded, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust. "When we replace him, there won't be anything left to recognize. We'll send his corpse back to the Heavenly Demonic Sect as a warning."

Serong Yu hissed, his body slithering through the ranks. "I'll crush his bones myself. His arrogance will be his downfall."
