"It’s simple. Other than the faction at Cangwu Mountain, eight of the Nine Great Commanders of the Demon Clan have already been deployed. The severity of the situation goes without saying. In such a case, will the Mingyuan Sacred Land remain inactive?"
To this, the Lingtian City Lord relaxed his brows and laughed heartily.
"Rest assured, I’ve already inford our sect. Many powerful experts from the Dark Abyss Sect will also be mobilized for this battle."
Then, his gaze swept over those about to depart.
"This battle is aid at driving away the demon emperors who are wreaking havoc in the rear. However, if there’s an opportunity to permanently keep them here, that would be even better!"
Permanently keep them here?
Luo Chen and the others exchanged glances, saying nothing, rely nodding.
...
Nine Glints streaked skyward from the City Lord Mansion.
After a swirl in the air, the voice of the Shouyang Mountain Man erged.
"The demon emperors are cunning and their approach is nacing. This battle is not an easy endeavor. While the mission is paramount, do not forget to safeguard yourselves. I hope when we return, we can still gather on Shouyang Mountain for a drink and rrint!"
The crowd was silent for a mont, and soone responded.
"The Mountain Man speaks rightly; everyone must act according to their ability!"
Luo Chen agreed with a phrase, his gaze landing on Jiuling Yuanjun.
The latter nodded slightly, "Take care!"
Luo Chen smiled softly, clasping his hands in a salute, "Take care!"
Not only Jiuling Yuanjun, but Master Li and Deng Taiyue also transmitted to Luo Chen, urging him to stay safe.
These were the connections Luo Chen had accumulated over recent years.
After exchanging well-wishes, they hesitated no longer and swiftly sped off in three directions.
...
Upon a majestic mountain inscribed with five enormous finger prints, an elder in a green robe gazed distantly, hands clasped behind his back.
Suddenly, a Glint descended, landing before him.
Kneeling, the figure spoke, "Master!"
The elder in the green robe glanced at him coolly, "Why so disheveled?"
The Wuji Demon Emperor looked embarrassed, "Reporting to Master, I encountered the Demon Slayer True Master."
"Demon Slayer?" The elder’s lips curled slightly, his gaze falling on the lifelike five large finger prints on the mountain cliff beneath him, "Is it Alchemy Sect Luo Chen?"
"Yes!"
"You actually aren’t his match. That’s sowhat beyond my expectations."
The Wuji Demon Emperor’s face flushed, biting his lip tightly as he said, "I underestimated the enemy. Additionally, this person differs from the rumors; he has also mastered a sword array. Although it seems recently learned, its power is imnse. Besides..."
"Sword array?" The elder in the green robe caught the keyword keenly.
The Wuji Demon Emperor took a deep breath, "Yes, the sword array gathers the power of the Five Elents and is driven by a Sword Pill. It’s remarkably similar to the rumored Taiji Five Elents Sword Array of the Wolf Race. I suspect Luo Chen is connected with Han Zhan, who initially besieged Ao Xiao."
The elder in the green robe squinted, as if pondering sothing.
The Wuji Demon Emperor dared not disturb, remaining respectfully on his knee, devoid of any demon emperor’s dignity.
If human cultivators unfamiliar with the scene saw this, they would surely find it exceedingly incongruous.
Although the elder’s realm was higher, at the end of the day, they were beings of the sa great realm, making such subservience unnecessary.
Yet, nearby Wolf Race experts were utterly accustod to this.
Simply because, unlike normal demon emperors, the Wuji Demon Emperor’s true form is actually the Companion Beast of the elder in the green robe, having grown up together with the elder from a young age.
Later, it embarked on The Great Dao Path, transforming and separating out.
So even rumored that the elder’s rise to the position of the Wolf Race’s co-leader was greatly aided by the Wuji Demon Emperor during its growth.
After a long while, the elder in the green robe murmured, "Back then, I went to Cangwu Mountain, attempting to ask Qing Shuang to avenge Ao Xiao for Han Zhan and others, but was refused. We even clashed once, further bolstering her imnse fa among the Demon Clan."
"Unable to obtain the enemies, but from those birds on Cangwu Mountain, I unexpectedly learned of a human cultivator who refined elixirs for them."
"I heard, also soone with the surna Luo!"
These words were laden with implication.
For the first ti hearing this secret, the Wuji Demon Emperor was initially stunned, then realized sothing.
"Could it be he obtained Han Zhan’s legacy at Cangwu Mountain..."
The elder in the green robe slightly raised his hand, interrupting his speculation, for more devil wind lood ahead.
Rolling demon qi suddenly contracted, revealing a woman with snow-white hair.
Upon landing, she respectfully bowed to the elder in the green robe.
"Commander Ao Kuang, there’s a change at Lingtian Pass; three True Masters in West City have broken through the siege and are heading towards the Fenghua District at the rear."
The elder in the green robe, now recognized as Ao Kuang, East Desolate Wolf Clan’s co-leader!
Upon hearing the news, he chuckled lightly.
"Quite a quick reaction. Well, these human cultivators excel in A Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, with communication thods that are ever so varied. It’s only natural that they obtained news of Bi Zheng and others’ assault so swiftly."
The white-haired woman probed, "Shall we send interceptors?"
"Intercept?"
Ao Kuang tugged at the corner of his mouth, his gaze wistfully cast on the tide of demon beasts rushing towards Lingtian Pass.
"This battle has dragged on far too long!"
"Instead of continuing the stalemate, why not culminate it in a single decisive strike!"
"It may seem like we’re attacking Lingtian Pass to buy Bi Zheng and Juan Kuang ti and space to wreak havoc on the human hinterlands, but they’re actually the bait, creating an opportunity for us to conquer Lingtian Pass."
The white-haired woman puzzled, "Do we intend to launch a full-scale assault?"
Ao Kuang inquired, "The three heading towards West City, what’s their realm?"
"They should be around the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, an impressive realm," the white-haired woman hinted at understanding, but still was sowhat unsure, hesitating, "But only three left?"
"Three?" Ao Kuang waved his large hand, "That’s enough!"
Three heading in one direction; likely, the other two directions won’t have fewer.
