A lightning strike transmigrated Zu An into another world. In that world, he was known as the tr*sh of Brightmoon City, but for some reason, he was married to the gorgeous and highly talented daugh...

Chapter 998 Using one tiger to devour another

Zuan seemed to have grasped an idea, but that flash of inspiration vanished in an instant, and no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't recall it.

He knew that there was no use in being anxious in this situation; he could only wait for a sudden flash of inspiration.

He followed the direction Pei Mianman had left the town, asking around along the way, but unfortunately found no clues.

With Pei Mianman's appearance and distinctive figure, anyone who had seen her would surely have been left with a deep impression, just like in the small town before.

But now, due to the invasion of demons, there are large areas of desolate wilderness, and you can't find anyone along the way, so there's no way to find out anything.

They finally found several small towns, but after some inquiries, they still couldn't find Pei Mianman anywhere.

Zuan pondered that firstly, too much time had passed, and secondly, the area was too vast; Manman might not pass through these towns, or if she did, she might not stop in them.

After thinking it over, he decided to go and find out more about the demons first.

After all, based on the information obtained earlier, Manman probably changed her itinerary because of the news about the glass hairpin.

He had already obtained information about the demons from the Holy Maiden. The demons are now roughly divided into four groups. One group follows the Lord of Slaughter near the Demon Clan's royal tomb, and should be the force protecting the Lord of Slaughter.

The other force was led by the King of Infidelity, whose troops were mostly veteran demon soldiers, but now almost the entire army has been wiped out.

One group consists of various military leaders who wage war in all directions. These are powerful figures among the demons, each leading their own followers to fight for the demons in all directions.

Finally, there is the central army led by the Demon Lord. This army is the most powerful. He is responsible for coordinating the conquest of all aspects of the cultivation world. Apart from the army guarding the Demon Clan's royal tomb, the other two armies are nominally under his command.

The Demon Lord's forces were about tens of thousands of miles away from the Demon Clan Resistance Army, located right between the Demon Clan Imperial Mausoleum and the Resistance Army.

Tens of thousands of miles may have seemed far in my previous life, but in this era where everyone cultivates, it is not a very long distance.

Zuan decided to go to the Demon Lord first. He knew very well that although he had defeated the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord's cultivation was suppressed by the World Barrier at the time, while he was able to communicate with the world and the heavens and earth by using the World Law Beacon. Only by shifting the balance of power could he win.

In this world brimming with vitality, the cultivation of those demons has clearly not been suppressed, and he himself has lost the authority over the world. Thus, facing the Demon Lord again is also very dangerous for him.

But in this era, the Lord of Slaughter is clearly the strongest being; otherwise, the Lord of Demons would have rebelled long ago with so much power under his control.

Even in later generations, the Lord of Slaughter was suppressed for thousands of years. In the end, it was only through Qiu Honglei's Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Dance that an indescribable being was summoned and destroyed. She herself also paid a heavy price.

In this day and age, the Lord of Slaughter is at the height of his power, and even the Lord of Demons is no match for him. Naturally, he needs to devise a plan to use one enemy against another.

He traveled day and night without stopping, and now the world is full of vital energy. In addition, his cultivation method is special, and he has now reached a state of continuous life, so he is not worried about affecting the battle later.

Occasionally, they would enter the blessed land within the pendant to visit Qiu Honglei and the Jing Teng sisters, and chat with them about what was happening outside.

When Qiu Honglei learned that he had arrived in a cultivation world thousands of years ago, she couldn't help but marvel.

Upon hearing that he was about to face that terrifying Lord of Slaughter again, she couldn't help but turn pale.

Zuan held her soft hand tightly: "Honglei, don't worry. This time is different from last time. I won't put myself in such a desperate situation, nor will I let the people around me encounter any danger."

Qiu Honglei hummed in agreement and nestled gently in his arms: "Listening to you recount what happened afterward these past few days has truly been thrilling. With your abilities, I believe you'll be fine."

The two snuggled together, whispering sweet nothings, and gradually Qiu Honglei fell asleep again.

Her complexion is much rosier now, which is obviously better than before. However, she is still quite weak after recovering from her serious injury and gets sleepy after talking for a short while.

Zuan also knew that this couldn't be rushed and could only be treated slowly with spiritual medicine.

With her and the Jing Teng sisters by her side, the journey wasn't boring at all.

They traveled on for a long time, and finally arrived at the camp of the demon army.

Upon seeing the military camps stretching for thousands of miles, Zu An's face darkened; the demons were indeed numerous.

It is known that in later wars between humans and demons, the sheer number of demons was a major headache.

But the number of demons is far greater than that of the demon race.

Moreover, even from a great distance, one could sense the presence of countless powerful individuals within the military camp.

If they were discovered, their chances of survival would be slim.

This is not the era in which future generations will hold world power, and Zuan dares not be careless in the slightest.

After setting up another formation on the outer perimeter, they then made their way towards the military camp.

He has already set up dozens of such teleportation arrays, prioritizing safety above all else.

"Halt! Who are you?" Soon, two patrolling demon soldiers spotted him.

Zuan did not answer. Daji appeared beside him. With a wave of her hand, the enchanting voice of the Heavenly Demon rang out, and the two demon soldiers were instantly controlled.

After dealing with the two demons and obtaining their armor, Zuan continued towards the camp.

As he took a step, he quickly transformed into a demon soldier.

Normally, such a heavily fortified military location, with its various defensive formations and layers of sentry posts, would make it very difficult for outsiders, no matter how skilled they were, to sneak in undetected.
