Go to war
"I'm wondering what the bright future the demon race is pursuing."
Yi Wu grew up in the Immortal Clan and worked undercover in the Demon Clan for many years. He knows both the Immortal Clan and the Demon Clan very well, but knows very little about the Monster Clan.
The demon race is loose and free, doing whatever they want, and is more difficult to see through than the demon race.
Liu Yu felt that this question was not difficult. "No matter what race, all living beings want to live well. On the basis of survival, they strive for a better life."
"Your previous speculation may be completely correct. If the Demon King can dominate the Cloud Summit, then the future of the Demon Race will indeed be very bright."
"But even if we now know their conspiracy, perhaps nothing can be changed."
"Why?" Yi Wu paused, her eyes gleaming in the darkness. "If we tell both the immortals and demons about this, will they continue to fight even though they know the demons are watching closely from behind?"
She didn't think Jun Lin and Jiufang Mingyuan were such fools, disregarding everything for a life-and-death fight. At least, Jiufang Mingyuan wasn't like that.
Liu Yu didn't answer her question and just kept walking forward.
They snuck back into their room under the cover of night, unnoticed by the demons, and lay back down on their beds, pretending they had never left.
On the second day, Ling Hua and Chang Yao still hadn't returned. The wolf demon began to get suspicious and asked Yi Wu again.
Yi Wu shrugged, not taking it seriously. "How would I know where they ran off to? Maybe they're hiding somewhere to fool around."
The wolf demon reported this to Hei Chao, suspecting something was amiss with them, but Hei Chao didn't take it seriously. The little black bird had done him a great service, earning him a lot of respect in front of the other captains. He now trusted him completely, and instead told the wolf demon to stop imagining things.
The agreed time has not yet arrived, so Yiwu and Liuyu need to continue pretending.
That night, the immortal soldiers did not launch an attack, and the demon tribe did not bring the people in the cellar to feed the blood demon vines. They did nothing and lay in the village all night holding their breath.
The wolf demon had been watching them secretly, trying to find some evidence to expose their true colors, but Yi Wu always looked relaxed and didn't seem to feel guilty at all.
Night fell as expected, and all around was quiet and silent. The little demon standing guard in the watchtower unknowingly huddled in a corner, closed his eyes, and began to snore.
Yi Wu put her hands behind her head and listened to the patrolling demons moving around outside, not missing a single sound.
It was past midnight and nothing unusual was seen. Yiwu began to think of a way to escape from the demon clan safely.
The day before yesterday, Kuroshio said that they would rest for two or three days before going out to hunt again. They should leave tomorrow, but the wolf demon has been watching them, so I'm afraid he won't be so easily fooled...
Late at night, as I thought and thought, my thoughts gradually drifted away, and countless questions popped up.
What benefits had the Demon King promised them that he could deceive both the demons and the immortal sects? Who was the demon colluding with the Demon King, and what was his purpose? If he wasn't caught quickly, Jiufang Mingyuan would surely be in danger again. He had to find time to inform him of the demon clan's situation...
Realizing that she was actually worried about him, Yi Wu quickly sorted out her thoughts. Liu Yu was lying next to her at this time, and she couldn't help feeling guilty.
Just when I was feeling confused, there was suddenly a commotion outside.
"What is that?"
"Fairy spirit, there is fairy spirit! Go and report it to the king."
"Brothers, wake up! The immortal soldiers are coming!"
…
The patrolling demons ran out in a panic and woke up all the demons in the village. For a while, there was a lot of noise and chaos.
When Yiwu and Liuyu followed the other monsters out of the house, Yinxue was cursing as he walked down the stairs.
"What are you making such a fuss about? If someone didn't know, they'd think the immortal soldiers were coming. What a bunch of useless people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light appeared in the sky, and a large group of immortal soldiers flew towards the village on clouds. The little demon standing guard on the watchtower hurriedly blew the horn to sound the alarm.
Hearing the horn, all the demons looked up and were shocked to find that the immortal soldiers were actually coming. They hurriedly looked for weapons and prepared for battle.
"My Lord! The immortal soldiers have truly arrived! What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Yin Xue glanced at the little demon and snorted, "Since they dare to come and die, of course we have to help them."
"Listen up, my friends! The Immortals have been sealed away for three hundred years. They are no match for us now. We must capture them all. Anyone who captures them will be rewarded handsomely!"
The little demons raised their weapons and cheered loudly, their fighting spirit high.
All the torches around the village were lit, illuminating the area ahead. Immortal soldiers quickly flew to the front of the village. They did not attack directly, but instead stood in a neat formation in the air, looking down at them from above.
Yiwu and Liuyu were mingling among the demons, looking up at the sky.
Jun Xuan, Ling Hua, Chang Yao, and Jian Qinyuan stood in the front. The number of immortal soldiers behind them added up to at least three hundred, and there were also many cultivators, which was several times more than the original number. They must have been specially dispatched from Ji Ming, which was why they wasted time.
An ominous premonition came to her mind, and Yi Wu felt a little worried. They had mobilized such a large force, perhaps they really wanted to capture the Demon King in one fell swoop.
She turned her head and looked around. There were demons everywhere. Their numbers were less than those of the immortals, but they were all full of fighting spirit and had no intention of retreating or being afraid.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and the battle was about to break out.
Jun Xuan didn't recognize Yi Wu and Liu Yu. He turned and asked Ling Hua to go over and tell them, "Warn Qin Mo and Liu Yu, so they don't get hurt accidentally if a fight breaks out later."
Ling Hua nodded and took a few steps forward, only fifty meters away from the demon tribe. "Listen up, demons down there! We're here today to rescue our fellow immortals and innocent lives. If you surrender voluntarily, I promise I won't harm your lives. Otherwise, don't blame the immortal soldiers for flattening your mountaintop."
He found the black sparrow and the little deer among a group of monsters and gave them a subtle look.
Yi Wu lowered her head, pulled Liu Yu quietly toward the edge, and whispered, "We'll see what happens later."
Just after moving a few meters, two claws suddenly hit their shoulders hard, shocking them so much that they trembled all over.
Demon King Yin Xue stood at the front, hands on his hips, angrily cursing, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Three hundred years have passed. Do you think the demon race will still allow you, the immortal race, to oppress them like before?"
"You think you can find a random excuse to flatten my mountain? Come on, I'm afraid of you."
He rubbed his hands, twisted his neck left and right, stretched his muscles, and was ready to fight at any time.
At this time, the wolf demon grabbed the two demons by the neck and threw them in front of him, "My king, they are trying to escape."
"I suspect there's something wrong with them. The immortals have been out for so long and haven't found our village. As soon as they arrived, the immortal soldiers showed up. They have two companions, the rabbit demon and the crane demon. They left the day before yesterday and haven't returned. They must have been transformed by the immortals and are going back to lead them."
"What did you say?" Yin Xue looked down at the black sparrow and the deer demon, his anger soaring and his beard trembling slightly.
Yi Wu knelt on the ground, begging for mercy in a trembling voice, looking terrified. "My Lord, please be wise. The immortal soldiers have come all the way here. Our two companions must have been killed by them. How could they have returned?"
"We have no skills and our cultivation is shallow. How can we be a match for the immortal soldiers? I am really afraid of death, my king."
Yi Wu pretended to wipe away a tear. "We came to seek refuge with the king, hoping that with your protection we would not be captured by the immortals. Who would have thought that the immortal soldiers would actually come here... King, if we lose our prey, we can catch more, but if our brothers' lives are taken, there will be no more for us, King."
"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Give them the prey, my king."
After hearing her words, the demons who had been excited just now gradually calmed down.
They weren't afraid of death, but who didn't want to live? Once a war broke out, except for those with profound cultivation and outstanding abilities, most of the other small demons would be doomed to be killed on the spot.
Seeing Yin Xue's hesitation, the wolf demon kicked Yi Wu away fiercely. "Useless wretch, stop talking nonsense and demoralizing everyone. Your Majesty, please don't listen to him."
I didn't expect that the demon clan would have an internal conflict when the immortal clan was in front of them.
While no one was paying attention, Changyao stepped back a few steps, reached out to take the bow and arrow from the immortal soldier behind her, aimed at the demon king, and shot an arrow cleanly.
"Changyao!"
Hearing Jun Xuan's scolding, Ling Hua looked back and happened to see a sharp arrow flying past him at high speed. He immediately felt something was wrong.
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and by the time the demon clan discovered the arrow, it had already flown in front of Yin Xue.
With a "puff" sound, the arrow pierced through the flesh, and all the demons stared wide-eyed in shock. The newly arrived little black bird, with an uncanny speed, blocked the demon king's way and saved his life.
"Qin..." Ling Hua hesitated, turning around and glaring at Chang Yao angrily, "Who told you to act on your own?"
Changyao opened her mouth and explained in a panic: "I, I didn't mean to shoot him..."
The sharp arrow pierced through her heart, and blood spurted out of Yiwu's mouth, splashing onto Yinxue's clothes. She spoke intermittently, "My lord, please leave..."
Before she could finish her words, she slid to the ground and died, turning into a few feathers and disappearing.
Liu Yu stretched out his hand, but only managed to grab a black feather.
"Black Feather!"
Hei Chao was filled with grief, and he raised his axe and rushed into the air angrily, "You treacherous and despicable villain, you killed my little brother, I will fight you to death today!"
After their companions were ambushed and killed, all the demons were enraged and launched an attack on the immortals. Ling Hua was forced to fight back, but amidst the chaos, he had to protect Jun Xuan from the demons.
Yin Xue slapped the wolf demon hard on the back of the head, "Idiot!"
Hei Yu died to protect the Demon King, and no demon would doubt their identities, including the Demon King himself.
The immortals and demons were fighting each other. In the chaos, Liu Yu hid in a deserted place, changed back to his original appearance, and took advantage of the chaos to approach the cellar.
There was a huge commotion outside, and the people in the cellar had been woken up long ago. They stared out through the gaps in the fence, hoping that someone would come to rescue them.
A red figure quietly appeared in the demon's cell, cast a spell, and disappeared with them. When they reappeared, they were already hundreds of meters away from the village.
Fang Rui was still in shock. She turned around and looked overjoyed, "Saint! You, you came here specially to save us?"
Yiwu hadn't actually been hit by Changyao's arrow; she'd simply cast an illusion, using it to clear herself of suspicion and fake her own death. She'd advised the Demon King not to fight the immortals, but she didn't want them to suffer losses. If Changyao's arrow had truly hit the Demon King, the conflict would have been a fight to the death.
