Chapter 181: Must Seek Victory!
“Quick, quick, quick!”
“Not a single demon core can be left behind!”
“And the Demon Race flesh and blood, all of you seal the qi and blood with hand seals!”
“If anyone slacks off and demon blood drips all over the cabin, and Lord Jiangxin finds out, I’ll skin you alive!”
“…”
Above the ruins of Xuanji City, the Nascent Soul stage Wu Ji was loudly shouting at the disciples of his branch.
This battle had not only demonstrated the Chaotian Sect’s might, but had also won the hearts of the many disciples.
A lone army behind enemy lines, penetrating deep into the Demon Domain, single-handedly slaying a Great Vehicle.
The accumulation of such battle records made Wu Ji grateful that he had made the right choice back then.
Joining the Chaotian Sect.
Thinking of this, he directed his subordinates with even greater zeal.
And just as the various branches were busy cleaning the battlefield and tallying the spoils.
Jiangxin’s indifferent voice suddenly resounded from high above.
“All disciples, heed the order!”
“Quickly empty your storage artifacts, throw down all the flesh and blood of low-tier demon beasts!”
“Only take the flesh and blood of Transformation and above demon beasts.”
The moment Jiangxin’s voice rang out, all the disciples looked up, revealing expressions of surprise.
“Throw… throw it away?”
“Why? We don’t want this anymore?”
“Perfectly good Demon Race flesh and blood, and we’re just leaving it?”
The assembled disciples did not quite understand.
Then Jiangxin’s voice rang out again, this time clearly much more serious.
“All disciples, please carry out the order quickly and board the ship immediately.”
“There must be no mistakes. I repeat, there must be no mistakes.”
“If anyone hesitates, punishment will be immediate and without pardon!”
Hearing these words, the group of disciples fell silent at once.
Along the way, they had long since grown accustomed to such orders.
So, without the slightest hesitation, they immediately did as Jiangxin said.
For a time, above Xuanji City.
Countless disciples returned to their ships one after another. Lu Qingyang also returned to the Floating Sky Great Ship carrying a string of Storage Rings.
“Tell Zhu Gangkai to come see me!”
The moment he got back on the ship, Lu Qingyang immediately ordered Jiangxin to summon Zhu Gangkai…
“Lord… Lord Sect Master.”
On the Floating Sky Great Ship, Lu Qingyang looked at the wounded Zhu Gangkai before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After a long while, his tone softened, and he spoke gently. “You’ve worked hard in this battle.”
“N… not hard at all!”
“To risk my life for Lord Sect Master is this old pig’s fortune!”
Hearing Lu Qingyang’s gentle words, Zhu Gangkai’s tears streamed down with a swoosh.
For some reason, when he heard Lu Qingyang comforting him, his heart surged with emotion.
It was as if all the grievances and fear he had suffered these past days had vanished into smoke.
Lu Qingyang smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t cry. You did not contribute little in this battle.”
“Take this Ring.”
As he spoke, Lu Qingyang flicked out a Storage Ring that had just been looted from the Xuanji Demon Race’s treasure vault.
“Thank you, Lord Sect Master, for the reward!”
Zhu Gangkai hurriedly caught it, wiped his tears, and carefully placed it into his bosom.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang waved his hand dismissively, his expression gradually turning serious.
He went straight to the point and spoke what was on his mind.
“You said the Demon Domain has five overlord clans. Do you know where the other four clans are stationed?”
“The other four clans…”
Hearing Lu Qingyang’s question, Zhu Gangkai’s face froze.
The large hand wiping his tears trembled, almost poking himself in the eye socket.
“Lord Sect Master… you mean…?”
“I mean, if you know, I may need to trouble you a few more trips.”
“Trou… trouble me?”
Zhu Gangkai’s face stiffened, then furrowed like a chrysanthemum.
Again?
“Mm. Lead the way. Thanks for your hard work… Pioneer Pig.”
Lu Qingyang patted Zhu Gangkai’s shoulder, his smile brilliant, his gaze sincere.
“Yes… yes.”
Zhu Gangkai’s face was bitter, and he could only grit his teeth and agree.
“Move out!”
Lu Qingyang shouted lightly, and the entire Chaotian fleet set out on the spot.
An imposing procession headed elsewhere in the Demon Domain.
At the same time, on the other side, in the Central Region, the Central Pole Province.
After years of bitter fighting, the entire Central Pole Province had nearly been smashed to pieces.
Hundreds of Great Vehicles wildly poured out spiritual power across a single region, directly causing the Central Pole Province to be split into two!
However, in truth, the Central Pole Province being divided into two, with the deep canyon gorge in the middle, had little to do with those Great Vehicles.
Last year, the Demon Race Overlord Ao Ye unleashed his divine might, pressing down so that hundreds of Human Race Supremes could not lift their heads.
Seeing this, the Human Race leader Li Tianxuan, in shock, detonated his essence blood and a pseudo Immortal Artifact.
At the cost of severe injuries, he struck the True Dragon Ao Ye into direct seclusion.
It was that battle that created an abyssal gorge spanning the entire Central Pole Province.
Forming a giant chasm that ran through more than half the province.
And on the two banks of the chasm, the south was the Human Race’s breathing space.
The north had already become Demon Race occupied territory.
Nearly ten billion Demon Race members were encamped there, building cities, constructing nests.
They had clearly shown an intention to settle down on the spot.
With the Human Race leader Li Tianxuan severely injured.
This human-demon war, which had plunged into White-Hot intensity from the very start, finally had a chance to catch its breath.
Both the Human Race and the Demon Race were recuperating and rebuilding.
However, although large-scale spell battles and great battles were gone, small-scale skirmishes had never ceased.
Moreover, every day, the Demon Race would send a Supreme Demon Venerable to challenge and provoke…
“Hahahaha! The Human Race really is a bunch of gutless cowards!”
“What’s this? Today you don’t even have a single person who dares to fight?”
In the Central Pole Province, the northern border.
An enormous figure wreathed in demon qi was treading upon the chasm, standing at its edge, roaring toward the sky.
This giant figure was precisely the clan chief of the Demon Race overlord clan, the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan.
And also the strongest Supreme Demon Venerable of the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan — Xuan Li!
“ROAR!”
Xuan Li released his true body, cursing without pause.
His pale white giant claws seemed ready to cross the chasm at any moment.
On wings full of pitch-black scales and feathers flickered faint light, and a pair of eyes were filled with madness.
And directly opposite him, in the southern Central Pole Province, within a great tent.
Dozens of Human Race Supremes with powerful auras were all silent at this moment.
Li Tianxuan, his face pale, sat in the seat of honor, watching no one below volunteer for battle, his expression as calm as water.
To his right, a burly man sat in a chair, his face gloomy.
It was precisely the Council Lord of the Sect Management Council: Supreme Great Vehicle Yuan Wu.
After a long while, the hot-tempered Yuan Wu could not hold back any longer.
“I’ll go!”
“I’ll go deal with this feathered bastard!”
Yuan Wu shot to his feet, killing intent radiating from his body.
Yuan Wu was the vice Council Lord of the Sect Management Council, and the only body-refining Supreme present.
In terms of pure combat strength, he was no weaker than Li Tianxuan.
It was just that his brain was a little slow…
“Wait… cough cough… you.”
Seeing Yuan Wu’s impatient manner, Li Tianxuan coughed painfully a few times, waving his hand to stop him.
“What is it? Does the Council Lord have something to say?”
Yuan Wu glared, his face full of impatience.
“In this battle, you must absolutely not lose again.”
“That feathered bastard seems to be issuing a challenge, but in reality, he is testing the Human Race’s strength and weakness.”
“Over this past year, our Human Race’s Supreme Great Vehicles have fought and lost, lost and fought again. Of ten who went out to battle, not one returned.”
“If we keep losing like this, that Sinful Dragon may very well risk severe injuries to wipe out all our Human Race Great Vehicles in one go.”
“Therefore… in this battle, you must seek victory!”
