Su Mei looked quite serious as she asked the question.
Her question wasn't born of mere curiosity; it was related to the master she served.
The Fox Race was known for its intelligence and cunning, making them rare stewards and strategists among the Demon Race. However, among the countless demon clans, their strength was comparatively weak.
At the very least, the Fox Demon clan couldn't compare to the likes of the White Tiger, Demon Ape, or Ox Demon races... nor could they match certain clans of innate royalty or primordial aberrant beasts.
The Demon Race believes in a simple creed: might makes right. Their sense of order is tenuous at best.
When fighting for territory, the Demon Race never considered administrative ability, only strength.
Given their circumstances, most Fox Race clans didn't operate as independent powers. Instead, they attached themselves to stronger patrons.
Su Mei's tribe, for instance, was allied with the White Tiger Royal Court.
