Demons are a general term for all evil and demonic creatures.
"Monsters" is a derogatory term used to refer to human superhumans on the battlefield, and is treated as objects.
The "Demon Elite" refers to those who have reached the level of fifth or sixth-tier superhumans and are part of the main force on the battlefield.
They are extremely destructive.
In just a quarter of an hour, the fortress defended by Prince Ning's faction was shattered and brought to the brink of destruction.
The urgent calls from all sides led Prince Ning to send a message to Zheng Ya requesting assistance.
Zheng Ya felt it was his duty to eliminate evil and protect the righteous path, so he immediately ordered an 8,000-man puppet squad to rush to the rescue.
Fortunately, Zheng Ya had made preparations in advance, dispersing the eight thousand puppets to various portal planets and surrounding planets for defense, just in case.
This was also a strategic move to prevent Wu Wei from suddenly sending people to summon them and cause trouble, thus separating them and weakening Wu Wei's power. It played a decisive role at this moment, and the reinforcement of the Ning Prince's garrison fortress was successful.
The monsters that suddenly appeared were all eliminated.
The rescue operation took only half an hour, demonstrating speed and swift success.
However, information from the battlefield enraged Prince Ning, who sent a message: "You brat, we're in deep trouble!"
The despicable elite monsters only launched a fierce attack on our faction's garrison fortresses, but didn't even bother to attack the fortresses defended by the seven great families.
Do you know what this means?
"Conspiracy, intimidation?" Zheng Ya replied with four words, but they ignited the Prince of Ning's furious roar: "You know it."
Has this involved high-ranking officials?
They are determined to destroy us, and are intent on eliminating our Prince Ning's lineage to facilitate your alliance with the seven great families.
Is this also a way to deter you from siding with the Seven Great Families?
This is outrageous! The higher-ups in the government don't care about those treacherous villains. How are we supposed to live? Those despicable bastards…”
"Father-in-law, is 30,000 words a day enough for you to read?" Zheng Ya remained silent.
Prince Ning was taken aback when he received the message. After carefully considering it for a moment, he replied with unexpected joy: "Seriously?"
Has the update started today?
"Well, with the editor in charge, if 30,000 words a day isn't enough, I'll update 50,000 or 60,000, so you can read to your heart's content." Zheng Ya continued to speak in riddles.
Yuan Tiangang laughed: "Am I now a senior editor?"
"That's right. With you, Old Yuan, in charge of the Four Directions Fortress, protecting the energy leaking out when I help others achieve enlightenment and break through cultivation realms is a piece of cake."
"How about I prepare a big meal for you to go with your drinks?" Zheng Ya began to make his plans.
Yuan Tiangang was happy to have some free time: "Sure, I have no problem with that. Just prepare more delicious food."
However, you should be careful to make them keep a low profile.
"Alright, I'll arrange this." Zheng Ya said as he purchased a directional teleportation array from the points shop, waved his hand to set it up in the fortress courtyard, and then told Prince Ning the coordinate code of the teleportation array: "Keep it a secret, keep it a secret, keep it a secret!"
"I'll say it three times because it's important. Do you think I'm a child who doesn't know what's going on?"
"But are you aware of the regulations governing the newly appointed Starry Sky Inspector's jurisdiction, which allow for the inclusion of seventh-tier ability users?" Prince Ning has already spread this good news.
The elders in the clan were in an uproar.
One hundred and twenty-eight people were fully prepared, all hoping to break through the bottleneck, increase their lifespan, and avoid death.
Compared to restoring lifespan and combat power, returning to the demonic battlefield to kill enemies is nothing.
Prince Ning led the six clan elders directly to Zheng Ya's courtyard of the Four-Courtyard Fortress. Zheng Ya welcomed them into the hall, waved his hand to help the six of them achieve enlightenment and breakthrough, and then smiled and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive."
According to the regulations for the ranks of Starry Sky Inspectors, under my jurisdiction as a junior Starry Sky Inspector, each portal planet can be garrisoned by one seventh-tier ability user.
Intermediate level 8, advanced level 9.
With the presence of elders from the aristocratic families, whose lifespans were nearing their end, the safety of the rear starry sky was secured.
"The elders left behind in your clan are all nearing the end of their lifespans. Just keep it as it is, and don't make a fuss about it..."
"You're quite the wicked fellow," Prince Ning naturally thought as well.
However, once such a thing is discovered, the fines imposed are not low.
This is tantamount to hiding a private army with the intention of rebellion.
The penalty starts at tens of millions, multiplied by the realm level.
If you don't have enough money, you can just go to the battlefield to earn merit points to offset the cost.
This punishment was given only if no evidence of treason was found; otherwise, it would have been a blanket purge.
But in this extraordinary time, we have no choice but to take risks.
Zheng Ya smiled with delight and said, "We are hiding our true strengths and playing according to the cards our opponents play."
You can handle it yourselves.
Anyway, if anything goes wrong, I'll hold you guys responsible. Send me the money, okay?
"Ahem, what money? I don't know anything about it." Prince Ning pretended to be stupid, his eyes scanning his three daughters. The three sisters, Princess Chang Le and Princess Zheng Ya, sighed helplessly and secretly sent a telepathic message to Zheng Ya: "Husband, how about we waive the first bill?"
"Father-in-law, are you sure you want to do this?" Zheng Ya didn't mind giving him a free meal; all he would have to do was expend some mental energy and his mixed-elemental ability, which wasn't worth it.
What's worthwhile is the debt of gratitude.
Prince Ning knew perfectly well what was going on, and bitterly reached into his pocket: "My father-in-law is poor!"
"Do you think your father-in-law wants this? There are still 122 people in the clan who need to break through their bottlenecks to increase their lifespan. He's so anxious he wants to bang his head against the wall..."
"Father-in-law, don't say that your son-in-law is not giving you face. I will grant you three places to ascend to heaven because of the favors owed to you by your three wives."
One spot can be exchanged for the value of twenty people breaking through their bottlenecks.
I will no longer interfere with how to revitalize your Ning Prince clan.
As the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. A lasting relationship depends on the bond of friendship formed during the interaction. Any act that hurts or damages feelings is a matter of good or evil.
Therefore, let us establish rules and act accordingly, hoping that our friendship will last forever and that we will share both honor and disgrace.” Zheng Ya began to establish the rules.
Behind him are not only the Ning Prince's clan, but also three other clans to deal with.
And it also takes into account the Chinese people on Earth, the Chinese people on Blue Star, and the supporters on the four continents.
To create a circle that consolidates power and maintains the stability and development of the vast expanse of space, rules are essential; without rules, nothing can be accomplished, and trouble is likely to arise.
Prince Ning became serious and said solemnly, "My son-in-law is right. I will go back and organize a clan meeting to discuss this and then give you a reply."
"That's fine then. Please forgive me for not being able to get involved in this matter." Zheng Ya felt that treating everyone equally was easy to say but difficult to do, and a bit cold-hearted.
Princess Chang Le transmitted her apologetically, "Husband, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
"I'm fine with that, but you three sisters should apologize to your eldest sister. It wasn't me who was in charge of the social interactions between your maternal family and our own family." Zheng Ya felt that they hadn't yet entered the state of being married and daughters-in-law.
Xing Guan spoke up: "The sisters were just cramming at the last minute, without any prior preparation or planning, which is understandable."
The other sisters need to put some pressure on themselves.
An impromptu family meeting was convened. Prince Ning noticed this and, feeling somewhat embarrassed, changed the subject: "My dear son-in-law, some people have their eyes on our faction."
I'm afraid they'll become increasingly assertive in the future. What's your opinion?
"It would be best if we remained still and waited for Wu Wei to launch a counterattack into the families of Qian Yuan Continent through the elders' disciplinary group sent by the seven great families, and then decide what to do," Zheng Ya thought, planning to keep Wu Wei busy while he made his move...
