The Empress nodded emphatically. Now was not the time for sentimentality. The longer it dragged on, the less likely her and her husband could hold on, the less likely their people could endure it.
Continuing to stay will only lead to destruction.
After letting out a mournful cry, the Phoenix Queen flew away into the distance, and the southern tribes, having received the order, collectively followed her to retreat.
Phoenix Emperor's entire body erupted with intense phoenix flames once again, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Warriors of the Phoenix Clan!"
“Other groups can retreat, but we cannot. We are the overlords and guardians of the South. We must buy more time for our compatriots to evacuate.”
"bring it on!"
"Follow my burning flames, and slaughter them until the heavens and earth are turned upside down!!"
The Phoenix Emperor's cry ignited the fury of all the remaining Phoenix warriors.
The crimson flames on the body of the Demon Emperor were even more intense at this moment. This was because the Phoenix Emperor was burning her own essence and blood to accelerate the circulation of her Qi and resist the erosion of the medicinal mist.
The Phoenix warriors were no different; all the demons were prepared for a desperate fight.
The Sand Eagle Demon Emperor and the Black Serpent Emperor watched this scene coldly.
Suddenly, amidst this exhilarating scene, all the demons felt a chill.
A light snow began to fall from the sky, and the Phoenix Emperor stared at the falling snow in disbelief.
"They're here."
The Phoenix Emperor knew that the Snow Emperor, Shang Xinci, would definitely come, but not so soon. He had already prepared to sacrifice himself, but he did not expect Shang Xinci to arrive.
Desert Eagle and Black Serpent exchanged a chill.
They never expected that Shang Xinci would agree to the Phoenix Clan's request for help. They had anticipated that the Phoenix Emperor would definitely ask for help, but they took a gamble, betting that the Snow Emperor didn't care about anywhere outside the Northern Region.
As it turned out, they made the wrong bet.
It's true that the Snow Empress cares a lot about the Northern Region, so she won't allow enemies to enter her territory and harm her demon people.
High in the sky.
She was dressed in a wide white robe, with long black hair draped over her shoulders. Her pretty face had an indifferent expression, and her emerald green eyes were filled with coldness, as if everything in her sight was an ant. She was barefoot, and her fair and tender feet were tempting to look at.
Her arrival caused a change in the weather. The temperature in the southern district was too high for snow, but a light snow began to fall because of Shang Xinci's arrival, which shows how powerful she is.
Beside Shang Xinci was a man dressed in a black robe, who was naturally Yan Luo.
It would normally take some time to reach the southern border, but Yanluo felt it was a bit slow, so she pulled Shang Xinci aside and showed her her teleportation ability.
However, Shang Xinci wasn't particularly surprised.
The demon race cultivates the Dao, focusing on magic and divinity. Demons who embark on the path of cultivation all possess some form of magic.
Both Shang Xinci and the other person knew how to teleport, but neither of them asked the other if they did.
Although Shang Xinci couldn't see through Yan Luo, she figured he was human. Humans tend to focus on physical cultivation and might not be proficient in magic, so she chose to travel by flying.
Yanluo didn't know that demons could use magic, and she had never seen her fox demon sister use it before, so she chose to fly to get there.
If it weren't for the fact that it was so slow, and the two of them had actually planned to continue flying over, then the Phoenix Emperor would have already died.
Shang Xinci hadn't expected Yan Luo to pull such a stunt.
The battle stopped when the two appeared, and all the demons looked up at them.
Desert Eagle and Black Serpent were also stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Shang Xinci raised her hand, and the fine snow suddenly turned into a blizzard.
Black Serpent and Desert Eagle exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
We had discussed countermeasures with the Demon Clan to deal with the Snow Empress, but now that she has arrived, the pressure on the two emperors of the Western District is immense.
Even if the Phoenix Emperor is injured and the Phoenix Queen escapes, the arrival of the Snow Emperor will immediately change everything. If they can conquer the Southern District and then attack the Northern District, the chances of victory will be much greater if the two emperors face off against Shang Xinci alone, instead of the current situation.
They clearly underestimated the Snow Emperor's strength.
She is recognized as the strongest demon emperor in the demon realm not only because she has survived since ancient times, but also because her strength surpasses that of all current demon emperors.
Whether it's the Phoenix Emperor and Empress, the Sand Eagle, the Black Serpent, or the Flood Dragon, their cultivation levels are all at the ninth rank. Shang Xinci's cultivation level is probably at the fourth ninth rank, after all, she is a figure from the ancient era.
Their strength is undeniable.
As the blizzard descended and the temperature plummeted, the flames on the Phoenix Clan, who had originally intended to perish together with the enemy, dimmed considerably. The demons present were all stunned by the appearance of the Snow Emperor.
Yanluo landed on the spot, found a clean place to sit down, and prepared to watch the show.
He wanted to see what magic really was.
The blizzard mixed with the gale dispersed the medicinal mist. Phoenix Emperor tried to dispel the mist at first, but it was difficult to disperse since it had just been released. After a period of time, with the help of Snow Emperor's power, the medicinal mist completely dissipated with the wind.
The Phoenix Emperor was overjoyed and exclaimed.
"Phoenix warriors, the Snow Empress has come to our aid! Now launch a counterattack!!"
Once their power was restored, the phoenixes cried out one by one, flames erupting from their bodies, and the battle resumed.
The southern clans all followed the Phoenix Queen in retreating, leaving only the Phoenix Clan. While they are outnumbered, they have regained the suppressive power of their bloodline and are still capable of fighting.
The Black Serpent King flicked its tongue and spoke to the Sand Eagle Demon King beside it.
"I'll draw your attention, and you can use that thing while I'm at it."
Desert Eagle nodded.
The Black Serpent King straightened its body and moved forward rapidly, firing several venomous spittles at Shang Xinci in the sky.
Shang Xinci simply raised her hand, and several ice-blue light shields appeared in front of her, blocking the venom.
The venom emitted heat as soon as it touched the light shield, demonstrating its toxicity and corrosiveness.
High in the sky, the Snow Empress waved her hand, and several ice swords appeared around her. The ice swords pierced towards the Black Serpent King at lightning speed. The Black Serpent King narrowly dodged several ice swords, but still couldn't dodge them all.
An ice sword pierced through the Black Serpent King's thick scales as easily as piercing a piece of paper, embedding itself in his flesh, instantly unleashing the power of the ice sword.
The Black Serpent King knew he was in trouble. He could feel his body being frozen, and it was too late to circulate his qi to resist. The freezing speed of the ice sword was too fast, and the Black Serpent King turned into a serpent eagle before he could react.
The Desert Eagle Demon King, who was preparing a secret weapon, was speechless.
Is it so hard to ask you to provide cover?
The frozen Black Serpent King: "Hey buddy, try covering yourself!"
Seeing that Shang Xinci's gaze had already fallen on him, the Sand Eagle Demon Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and ordered his subordinates to hold off the attack so that he could continue his preparations.
Just as his subordinates stepped in front of him, the ice sword arrived again. The ninth-rank Black Serpent was only frozen, but those subordinates who were not ninth-rank were not so lucky.
After freezing, it shattered directly into ice blocks.
The Desert Eagle Demon King calmed down and shouted back.
"Brother Molin, please hold them off for me for a while. I need some time to prepare."
At the very back of the battlefield, a figure with black wings and curved demonic horns on its forehead soared into the sky and headed straight for the center of the battlefield after the Sand Eagle Demon King's voice fell.
Shang Xinci frowned and narrowed her eyes; the aura of the demon race was truly nauseating to her.
