“Over there is the Demon Beast Mountain Range!”
“Today’s battle was really smooth.”
“Indeed, slaying those demon beasts today felt exhilarating!”
The immortals gazed at the Demon Beast Mountain Range ahead, their faces adorned with smiles.
From launching the counterattack until now, everything had been remarkably smooth, with no obstacles along the way.
“The celestial demons haven’t appeared yet, thanks to Lin Yun’s strategy,” Vice Palace Master Yao said with a smile, gently stroking his beard.
At the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
A vast number of demon beasts were gathered there.
They were the demon beasts that had previously retreated from the Huoyun Empire to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, now all assembled here.
“Why haven’t our clan’s celestial demons arrived yet?”
“If the celestial demons don’t show up soon, these humans and dragons might attack our Demon Beast Mountain Range.”
These demon beasts were visibly anxious.
“Hm? There’s movement!”
“It’s the Demon Commander and the others!”
Sensing the commotion behind them, the demon beasts turned to look.
…
Outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
“Lin Yun, there’s movement in the Demon Beast Mountain Range!” Mo Qing, standing beside Lin Yun, said.
Hearing this, Lin Yun immediately looked up towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
What met Lin Yun’s eyes was a group of celestial demons.
Lin Yun instantly recognised the Demon Commander and Demon Lord flying at the forefront.
When he had ventured into the Demon Beast Mountain Range to save his son, Lin Yun’s clone had met the Demon Commander face to face.
As for the Demon Lord, Lin Yun had been present when the Demon Lord was released, so he had seen him as well.
“It’s the celestial demons of the demon clan!”
The immortals present also noticed the group of celestial demons that had appeared.
“They’re finally here,” Emperor Huoyun said with a smile.
“Everyone, stay sharp and prepare for battle!” Palace Master Mo declared.
Slaying demon beasts and reclaiming lost territory earlier was merely an appetiser, not even worthy of being called one.
For everyone, the true enemies were the Demon Lord and these celestial demons!
Now, they had finally appeared!
On the other side, at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
“Great! The Demon Lord and Demon Commander have finally arrived!”
The countless demon beasts gathered at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range cheered upon seeing the celestial demons arrive.
The Demon Commander and Demon Lord led the celestial demons, hovering in the air upon arrival.
They naturally saw the human immortals and the dragon clan’s reinforcements.
“How… how are there so many dragons! What’s going on!?” The Demon Commander, seeing the number of dragon reinforcements ahead, widened its eyes in shock.
It could sense how many powerful auras were among the dragon reinforcements!
This was completely different from the intelligence they had received!
According to prior intelligence, the number of dragon reinforcements was supposed to be small!
The faces of the celestial demons present darkened.
The threat posed by so many dragon reinforcements was obvious.
“Demon Commander, I should be asking you! What’s going on? Didn’t you assure me that the dragon reinforcements were few in number?” the Demon Lord demanded angrily.
“This… this… according to the intelligence, that’s how it was,” the Demon Commander replied, its face paling.
“According to intelligence again? Your previous intelligence claimed the humans launched an attack in the Tianqian Empire last night, but was that true? You useless fool! Can you do anything right?” The Demon Lord roared, its voice thundering with fury.
“Demon Lord, I… I…”
The Demon Commander was at a loss, unable to explain its grievances.
It was helpless; the intelligence had clearly indicated this, and their intelligence was supposed to be highly accurate!
The Demon Commander had triple-checked the information.
Yet every piece was wrong, leaving it utterly baffled as to what had happened!
But dwelling on this now was pointless, as the facts were already before them.
“If it weren’t for the enemy at hand, I’d have you killed for your incompetence!” the Demon Lord shouted at the Demon Commander.
“Demon Lord, I’ll make up for it on the battlefield, I’ll slay the enemy to make amends!” the Demon Commander could only respond thus.
“Demon Lord, what… what do we do? So many powerful dragon auras, their combined forces outnumber us by far.”
The celestial demons present were visibly panicked.
If they were only facing human immortals and a small number of dragon reinforcements, they might have had confidence.
But now, facing so many powerful dragon reinforcements, they naturally felt fear.
“Numbers mean nothing. My strength has fully recovered. In the face of absolute power, numbers are a joke!” the Demon Lord said in a hoarse, chilling tone.
The Demon Commander quickly agreed, “Exactly. With the Demon Lord’s strength, no one in the world can match him. With the Demon Lord fighting, even if the enemy has a numerical advantage, it won’t matter. No one can stand in the Demon Lord’s way; he’ll leave them in ruins!”
One of their greatest assets in launching this war against the humans was the Demon Lord’s unmatched strength, wasn’t it?
With such a terrifying peak combat force, the battle’s outcome would be different.
It was like how Little Green Dragon, relying on its ten-clawed absolute strength, had subdued all sides and easily unified the dragon clan.
Hearing this, the celestial demons felt reassured.
“Follow me!”
The Demon Lord waved its hand, leading the celestial demons to charge towards the human and dragon coalition.
In an instant, the Demon Lord and the celestial demons arrived in front of the immortals.
Both sides hovered in the sky, separated by just a few thousand metres.
“Demon Lord, Demon Commander, your demon clan and our human race could coexist. You have the vast Demon Beast Mountain Range as your territory, yet you covet our human lands,” Palace Master Mo said coldly.
“Hmph, your human race occupies the best lands. Why not let you humans live in the mountains?” the Demon Commander retorted coldly.
Little Green Dragon stepped forward, saying loudly, “Since we’re all here, let’s skip the nonsense and get to it. The victor rules, the loser falls. What’s the point of talking?”
The Demon Lord looked at Little Green Dragon, “This is a dispute between the demon clan and the human race. For your dragon clan, the Endless Sea is your territory. Helping them will only bring you losses without gains, even sacrifices. If your dragon clan retreats now, my demon clan can overlook this.”
Little Green Dragon crossed its arms, “You’re the Demon Lord, huh? Big words. Your demon clan is the one facing disaster. As for retreating? Sorry, that’s not happening.”
“Hmph, ignorant fool. Even your dragon clan’s Dragon Emperor couldn’t stop me back then. Do you really think you can?” the Demon Lord said, its tone laced with cold killing intent.
