Gu Jian nodded.
He knew that, apart from the small amount of territory still occupied by the original five major powers in the human realm, the human realm was now largely devoid of territory.
The remaining areas were almost entirely divided up by the three major demon kingdoms.
The Ancient Kingdom of Demon Dragons accounts for five-tenths of these.
The Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore occupies nearly three-tenths of the territory.
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons occupies two-tenths of the territory.
Gu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Since you wanted to take over the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, joining forces with the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom this time was the best opportunity. But why did you withdraw your troops?"
Ji Baihe smiled and said, "Strategist, there are two reasons for this."
Gu Jian smiled and asked, "Tell me about it."
Ji Baihe was surprised. The strategist was so smart; he should have been able to guess the reason.
However, she still parted her sexy red lips slightly and said, "The first reason is that the gap between the Other Shore Demon Kingdom and the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom is too great."
"If the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons were to perish now, the Kingdom of the Other Shore would not only fail to obtain the territory they desire, but would also face threats from the Ancient Kingdom of the Demon Dragon."
"The Demon Kingdom on the Other Shore was able to withstand the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom on its own, and the Netherworld Queen did not want the Demon Kingdom to be destroyed."
Gu Jian nodded; he had actually guessed this as well.
The main reason is that the three major demonic forces in the human realm have almost reached a three-way balance of power.
The destruction of either side will disrupt the existing balance.
The weak will inevitably be swallowed up.
Gu Jian then looked at Ji Baihe's stunning and alluring face and asked, "What is the second reason?"
Ji Baihe's eyes sparkled, and her voice was melodious as she chuckled, "The second reason is the appearance of the Dawn Saint Demon and the Nine-Lives Fox Demon."
"These two holy demons are terrifyingly powerful. Even the holy-level demons in the Other Shore Demon Kingdom are wary of them. Without the coordination of a holy-level array, they have no way to deal with the Dawn Holy Demon and the Nine-Lives Fox Demon. So they can only temporarily avoid their sharp edge."
Gu Jian nodded slightly and then asked, "What about the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom? Did they also withdraw their troops for this reason?"
Ji Baihe shook her head and said, "I don't know much about the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom. Perhaps they have their eyes on the territory His Majesty offered, or perhaps they are wary of the Nine-Lives Fox Demon!"
"But in my opinion, they are probably just temporarily retreating. They may want to take the time to further understand the strength of the Nine-Lives Fox Demon."
"The sudden appearance of such a powerful holy demon in the Demon Kingdom has left them bewildered. They want to reassess the Demon Kingdom's strength."
"But no matter what, the Ancient Kingdom of Demon Dragons is no benevolent force. If they realize that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons cannot stop their demon army, they will definitely attack the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons without hesitation the next time they have such an opportunity."
"This Tianwu Continent is far too vast, and the demon and monster races that have descended here are not limited to just us."
“Every race of demons wants to grow and expand rapidly.”
"Because if we fall behind, we will be destroyed by other demonic forces."
Gu Jian nodded.
The Tianwu Continent is indeed very large, and their human domain only occupies a very small part of the continent.
Based on the information Gu Jian has obtained from Hu Linglong so far.
Beyond the human realm, many demons also descend.
This was destined to be a terrible, chaotic era.
This chaotic world was a terrifying hell for the people of this continent.
For the various demonic forces, in order to avoid being wiped out, they must also grow stronger as quickly as possible.
The recruitment of soldiers by the various demon kings of the Other Shore Demon Kingdom is clearly a way to strengthen their forces.
Thinking of the eight demon kings, Gu Jian asked again, "How strong is the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore? How many Saint-level experts does it have?"
"Furthermore, I've heard that the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore has eight Demon Kings, all of whom are direct subordinates of the Netherworld Queen. Each of them has a powerful group of subordinates and demon armies. Are they all truly loyal to the Netherworld Queen?"
Ji Baihe said in a melodious voice, "There are eight Saint-level experts in the Other Shore Demon Kingdom on the surface, but after many years of investigation, the total number is at least ten."
"The cultivation levels of the eight people on the surface are between the first and third levels of the Saint rank. As for those lurking in the shadows, we don't know."
At this point, Ji Baihe paused, then smiled and said, "Strategist, as for the eight demon kings, it's hard to say how loyal they are to the Netherworld Queen."
"Someone like me would definitely not be loyal to her."
"Of the other seven, at least four will not be loyal to her either."
"Not only are they disloyal to her, but they also do things behind her back that harm the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore."
"oh?"
Gu Jian was surprised and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Um!"
Ji Baihe smiled and nodded: "Among the eight demon kings under the Netherworld Queen are the Man-Eating Flower Demon King, the Datura Demon King, the Blue Rose Demon King, and the Cockscomb Flower Demon King. They are only nominally loyal to the Netherworld Queen."
"Secretly, they also want to rebel."
"rebel?"
Gu Jian was surprised.
Ji Baihe laughed and said, "That's right, they want to rebel. In the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore, every Demon King controls a powerful force. Behind them is a Saint-level expert who obeys their orders."
"There are now four demon kings plotting a rebellion. Clearly, the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore itself is not at peace. Hehehe..."
Gu Jian also felt that the Other Shore Demon Kingdom was not peaceful, and the situation was even more chaotic than that of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom at that time.
Gu Jian then asked, "How do you know all this?"
Ji Baihe chuckled and said, "Strategist, have you forgotten my identity? I went undercover in the Other Shore Demon Kingdom to gather intelligence about it."
"Speaking of which, those four demon kings who wanted to rebel had openly and secretly hinted to me that they wanted me to join them and rebel with them."
