After discussing the cooperation plan with Lin Xiao, the Tiger King returned to the Dark Moon Sage King's encampment.
At this time, the Dark Moon Sage King was raging in his own tent. He was in a very bad mood!
Many of those who had defected to him had been killed. Although the Dark Moon Saint King's strength and deterrence were present, and no one dared to say anything in front of him, the Dark Moon Saint King himself could clearly feel that those who had defected to him were slowly alienating him, and no longer dared to curry favor in front of him.
"Damn it, damn it!"
The Dark Moon Sage King slammed his palm on the table and roared angrily.
"Lord."
At this time, a voice rang out outside the tent. The Dark Moon Sage King immediately regained his calm. He knew that he could not panic at this time. If he panicked, the others would definitely follow suit.
Under such circumstances, the Dark Moon Sage King knew that no matter what, he had to remain calm on the surface.
"Come in!"
After calming himself down, the Dark Moon Sage King gestured for the person outside to come in.
This person was none other than the Tiger King of the Tiger Clan.
It had been five days since the Monkey Clan's sneak attack. In these five days, the Dark Moon Sage King's alliance army had been staying in the encampment and did not move forward.
It was not that the Dark Moon Sage King did not want to move forward, but his subordinates were too busy. The assassination last time had caused the alliance army to panic. The Dark Moon Sage King was also very helpless. He could only choose to stay in the encampment and wait for everyone to adjust their state.
Although the Dark Moon Sage King could force everyone to move, he also knew that the effect would not be good. Moreover, his prestige would drop a lot. In the future, there would be fewer people who would take the initiative to submit to him.
The Dark Moon Sage King's ambition was still very big. It was not easy to become the first Sage King of the Thousand Frost Realm in thousands of years. Of course, the Dark Moon Sage King wanted to complete the unification.
Therefore, the Dark Moon Sage King knew that he could not be too self-centered in this situation.
However, the Dark Moon Sage King also knew that the Monkey Clan had been stalling for time. He was afraid that they were looking for an opportunity for Sun Wukong to break through. Of course, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, the Dark Moon Sage King and the alliance army agreed to give everyone a total of five days to rest. After five days, the army would continue to move forward.
The Tiger King in front of him was one of the few people who remained loyal to him after the assassination attempt. Because of this, the Dark Moon Sage King valued the Tiger King even more.
Originally, because the Tiger King was the leader of the Beast Clan, the Dark Moon Saint King was afraid of the Tiger King and did not think highly of him. However, since the last assassination, many of his loyal subordinates had died, and the remaining ones were cowering in fear. Only the Tiger King was still loyal to him, and the Dark Moon Saint King's trust in the Tiger King had increased a lot.
In addition, under such circumstances, the Dark Moon Sage King really did not have many people he could use. Therefore, he handed over many important tasks to the Tiger King.
For example, this time around, five days had passed, and the army needed to continue setting off. They needed someone to urge them on, and that person was the Tiger King.
However, looking at Tiger King's unnatural expression, the Dark Moon Holy King could not help but frown and ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"
"Yes."
The Tiger King nodded and reported with an ugly expression, "There were two more assassination attempts just now. Two Sages died, and they were also Sages who were closer to you. Therefore, there was a panic outside. I'm afraid it's not possible to set off today."
"What!
Someone died again!
What's going on! "
The Dark Moon Sage King looked at the Tiger King in disbelief, and said in a gloomy tone, "Haven't there been any deaths for a few days? Why is this happening again?"
"Your subordinate is incompetent."
After hesitating for a moment, the Tiger King continued, "Just now, your subordinate had followed the Holy King's instructions and informed all the commanders to get ready to set off. However, at this moment, the Sages died suddenly, and there was a sentence beside their bodies: This is the consequence of being a dog for the Dark Moon Sage King."
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, the Dark Moon Sage King could not help but curse.
Provocation!
This was a blatant provocation!
However, the Dark Moon Sage King could not do anything about such provocation.
He had no idea where to start investigating. The alliance army was too complicated. Even if it was him, it would not be easy to investigate. Moreover, if he really wanted to investigate, it would definitely take a long time.
However, if he did not investigate, such incidents would continue to happen. How would they attack the Monkey Tribe when everyone was in a state of panic?
"Sage King, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. Otherwise, if the Monkey Tribe continues to do this, we won't know when we'll be able to go to the Monkey Tribe!"
Just when the Dark Moon Sage King was at a loss, the Tiger King stood up and said righteously.
"This …"
Hearing the Tiger King's words, the Dark Moon Sage King fell into deep thought.
Originally, they were going to set off with great ambitions. However, they were not even halfway through the journey and things had already turned out this way. How could the Dark Moon Sage King accept this?
Thinking of this, the Dark Moon Sage King gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Alright, let's get to the bottom of this. I want to see who is the one behind all of this!
If I leave this matter to you, how long will it take you to investigate? "
"This, Holy King … With my ability, I'm afraid it will take two months."
Hearing this question, the Tiger King looked flattered. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said.
"Two months?"
The Dark Moon Sage King looked at the Tiger King in surprise and said coldly, "I don't have so much time to waste. I'll only give you ten days. If you can settle this matter, I'll make you the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the alliance army."
The Dark Moon Sage King had put in a lot of effort this time.
Although this was just a title, it was a title that was second only to one person. At least for now, it was still very valuable.
"Yes, I'll do my best!"
Hearing the Dark Moon Sage King's promise, the Tiger King's eyes flashed with surprise and he quickly replied.
"Mm."
Looking at the Tiger King, the Dark Moon Sage King nodded and said indifferently, "Perform well. If you need anything for your investigation, just tell me directly."
"Alright."
The Tiger King nodded and left with the order.
Now, the Dark Moon Sage King was in a terrible fix because of this matter. Although he could be considered a genius in cultivation, he was still lacking when it came to dealing with these mundane matters.
However, what the Dark Moon Sage King did not know was that although the Tiger King looked fearful on the surface, the Tiger King already had other plans in his heart.
