You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 444 The Ape Crisis

News of the deaths of powerful ape clan members such as Yuan Hong in the Divine Ape Forest has already reached back.

The entire ape tribe was plunged into a huge panic.

The remaining three Tribulation Transcending stage experts of the ape clan gathered together, each with a worried expression.

"The news that the clan leader and most of the clan's strongest members have perished in battle has already spread. It won't be long before other races learn of this..."

"With our clan's current strength, we simply cannot protect this vast foundation. What should we do now?"

"A powerful ape said with a frustrated expression."

The demon race has no concept of sacrificing oneself for the country; they are all gathered together for their own interests.

Now that you are dead, your inheritance will be inherited by the most capable person...

Moreover, the apes did not die for their country; they were in their current predicament because they sought revenge for personal grudges.

You can't blame anyone else.

"Let all our tribesmen return to the Divine Ape Forest! We must prepare for a great battle..."

"Everything our ape race possesses was earned through our own hard work, punch by punch. To hand it over like that is impossible..."

Another powerful ape said with a fierce expression.

"Excellent! Our ape clan's defeat has led those people to believe we are easy to bully. This time, we will show them that even with heavy losses, our ape clan is not someone they can humiliate at will..."

The last expert in the Tribulation Transcending stage also spoke.

The three Tribulation Transcending stage experts present were the only three Tribulation Transcending stage experts left in the entire ape clan. In addition, the ape clan had an army of more than 200,000.

Although this army of over 200,000 was not as elite as the 100,000 troops previously sent to attack the human race, it was still quite powerful, with even the weakest among them possessing the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage.

The ape tribe is in a critical situation. If they can gather the ordinary apes again, they can organize an army of more than 200,000.

This adds up to an army of nearly 400,000 to 500,000.

This is quite a force.

"However, we must also prepare for failure. We should send away all the promising talents in our clan and dispatch strong individuals to protect them..."

"If we successfully repel the attacks of other races, then we'll bring them back..."

"What if we fail..."

"It can be considered as leaving some hope for our ape race..."

"Alright, then let's go and make preparations, raise the army, and arrange for the younger generation to leave..."

The first ape-clan expert to speak said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

The other two Tribulation Transcending stage experts nodded in agreement.

Soon, the entire Divine Ape Forest became lively, with countless apes gathering, distributing weapons, forming a large army, and preparing to defend against any possible attack.

A somber atmosphere permeated the entire forest.

........................

Inside the Holy Demon Palace.

The Holy Demon Emperor sat on the dragon throne, while Jin Min knelt on the ground below him, his face full of shame.

"Get up! This isn't your fault. It was Yuan Hong and the ape clan who were utterly useless; they were actually killed..."

"I truly did not expect that the human race's strength had grown to such an extent; we cannot allow them to continue developing unchecked..."

The Holy Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.

Although he wanted the apes to probe the human race's capabilities, he truly hadn't expected the apes to be so useless.

They haven't even been able to find out how much strength the human race actually possesses.

If Xuan Kongzi hadn't been unsure whether to keep Jin Min, Jin Min would probably have perished there as well.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

After bowing to the Holy Demon Emperor, Jin Min stood up.

"Your Majesty, the ape tribe has suffered heavy losses. They control vast resources, and I'm afraid other races won't let this prize slip by..."

Should we intervene?

Kim Min then asked.

"Let's hold off for now and observe the situation first!"

The Holy Demon Emperor thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Here!"

Kim Min said respectfully.

"Have people keep a close eye on the ape clan's situation. If necessary, intervene in my name. Don't let the ape clan be wiped out; I still have a use for them..."

The Holy Demon Emperor continued.

"Here!"

After that, Jin Min left the main hall and sent people to investigate the situation of the ape clan.

a few days later.

The Divine Ape Forest.

Countless troops surrounded the entire Divine Ape Forest, making it impossible to pass through.

In the past few days, all of the ape clan's outposts have been captured, and countless resources and spirit stone mines have been occupied by other races.

Among them, the Sky Fox Clan and the Fire Nightmare Lion Clan occupy the most territory.

Now, only the Divine Ape Forest remains unconquered.

At this moment, within the Divine Ape Forest, countless troops stood ready for battle.

Every ape warrior's face was filled with an expression of fearlessness in the face of death.

They knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for their ape clan; if they lost, their ape clan would likely be wiped out.

Therefore, every ape gave it their all.

In the sky above the Divine Ape Forest, the three remaining Tribulation Transcending stage experts of the ape clan stood in mid-air, with an army of over ten thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind them.

"The Celestial Fox Clan, the Fire Nightmare Lion, and the Blazing Nether Wolf Clan, hahaha!"

"Great, very good!"

A powerful ape-type cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage looked at the race surrounding them, his eyes filled with sorrow.
