However, he himself added the conclusion that they were "no longer able to form a fighting force," which further suggests that the miserable state of the Decapitation Demon Lord's subordinates should not be much different from that of the Sea-Filling Divine Realm.
If the Decapitation Demon Lord is Saruman's shadow puppet, how could Hu Mei have allowed his army to suffer such heavy losses? After all, as a shadow puppet, his army should be part of the same group as Hu Mei's and Saruman's armies.
"We originally judged that with the fall of the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City, there would be no large-scale resistance in the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm. The army's movements back and forth would only be a simple matter of running around. Withdrawing our troops would also make it easier for those remaining lurking gods to resurface, making it easier for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop during the final offensive."
"But unexpectedly, no sooner had Hu Mei and Saruman left than the otherworldly reinforcements invited by the gods arrived. However, we found that they were not large in scale and were not fast," the Tongtian Demon Lord continued.
"At first, we thought that once they reached the Sea-Reclaiming City, it would take them some time to clean up and prepare. By the time they finished cleaning up and headed south, our invincible barrier should have already been formed, and we would still be confident of victory in our counterattack."
"However, the otherworldly reinforcements did not enter the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City at all. They were cleaning up the aftermath while heading south. Although they were not moving fast, they still aroused our vigilance. However, the magic array had already started operating at that time, and Hu Mei and the others did not want to give up, so we decided to wait and see."
"After the otherworldly reinforcements passed through Darkmoon City and entered the Whispering Forest, the headhunter became tense and specially took leave to go to the headhunter's demon realm to take a look. He came back and told me that the otherworldly reinforcements were weak and could be easily defeated, so we stopped paying attention to them."
Hearing this, Wang Yao's suspicions about the Decapitation Demon Lord resurfaced. The Decapitation attack on the reinforcements hadn't actually been successful. The reinforcements included a Mahayana cultivator like Jingwei, as well as a powerful "Super Thunderbolt." Why did the Decapitation Demon Lord think that the reinforcements from another world were weak?
"Afterwards, as the magic array operated, the invincible barrier showed no signs of life for a long time. On the contrary, the reinforcements from the other world were advancing deeper and deeper, and they were about to reach the Decapitation Demon City. We knew that if the Decapitation Demon Domain was lost, it would have a huge impact on the battlefield situation. Therefore, we discussed it with Hu Mei and the Yang Shen."
"Could we eliminate the otherworldly reinforcements first, and then establish an invincible barrier? After all, the threat from the otherworldly reinforcements is imminent." Hu Mei then projected his image to the Demon Realm to understand the situation. He returned and said that the situation was indeed serious, but it had not yet reached the point where we, the Demon Lords, needed to intervene.
"She agreed to let the remaining demon army and the allied forces of the Yangshen and the demon race, who were stationed in the Decapitation Demon City, attack and intercept the otherworldly reinforcements of the gods at Shuangdao Ridge outside Zongguan City. However, after their interception failed, Yangshen and Humei were still unwilling to stop the magic array."
"At this point, we have begun to doubt Yang Shen and Hu Mei. After all, the Invincible Barrier has not even taken shape yet. We think that the purpose of the magic array is probably different from what Hu Mei said, so we have started to back down and want to stop the operation of the magic array under the pretext of the safety of the Demon Realm."
“Our commotion greatly affected the operation of the magic array. Hu Mei had no choice but to agree to let the decapitator go back and take the lead in reorganizing the defense, but he demanded that we other demon lords stay behind to continue maintaining the magic array. But since we already doubted the purpose of the magic array, why would we be willing to restart it?”
"When the foreign gods saw this, they all stood up to put pressure on us. In particular, many of our true demons jumped out and stood on the side of the foreign gods and Hu Mei, openly defying their superiors and forcing us. In a fit of anger, Chi Di personally killed one of his true demons."
"Things have come to this point, not to mention the magic array, there is no possibility for the Yang God and Hu Mei to stay in the Demon Realm any longer. We immediately demanded that the Yang God remove the magic array and leave the Demon Realm. However, the Yang God and the demon race actually made a big fuss and adopted a posture of fighting with us."
"Only then did we discover that we had been isolated by the magic array. Many of the True Demon's subordinates who were supposed to protect us had already defected to the Yang God and the Hu Demon, while those who were loyal to us had been moved by the magic array to places far away from us."
"The foreign gods and many Mahayana demons joined forces to force us to continue operating the magic array. If we did not comply, they would take action against one of us. We had no choice but to pretend to cooperate and restart the magic array. At that time, the situation was truly critical."
"The rest is history. The Yang God and the demon race suddenly fled in panic. The Supreme Lord led the Heavenly Army to descend and saved us. Only then did we learn that the Decapitation Demon City had been captured by the Queen Mother of the West and the Old Man of the Moon, and the Decapitation Demon had been obtained by the Queen Mother of the West."
As the Demon Lord Tongtian spoke, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, clearly regretting that he had almost fallen for the tricks of the foreign god and the rebellious demon race.
"So, the destruction of the Demon Realm army in the Battle of Thousand Sails Harbor was probably intentionally orchestrated by Hu Mei and her group?" Wang Yao suddenly realized that, no matter what, the problem still lay with the magic array.
It seems that the demon Hu Mei and the foreign god Saruman's group did not actually aim to help the demon race defeat the gods. According to the Tongtian Demon Lord's account, their ambition was to overthrow the entire realm of gods and demons in one fell swoop.
Therefore, they must first defeat the divine realm, which will not only gain the trust of the demons but also make it easier for them to deal with the divine realm after conquering it.
Their method for dealing with the Demon Realm is to use magic arrays to transform all the high-ranking demons involved in the operation of the arrays into shadow puppets. At that time, once the demons take over the God Realm, the Heavenly Court will not be able to interfere with the changes in the God-Demon Realm.
However, the true power holders in the realm of gods and demons have become the foreign god and the demon behind the scenes. This means that the foreign god and the demon have joined forces to seize two of the six realms.
