"General Fatan is right," said General Pomiao. "We are already at a disadvantage facing only the demon cultivators from Banjie Mountain."
Fang Jian chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Who says we in Xitian Prefecture are fighting alone? We also have allies."
"Master Shangshu, are you talking about... Huanzhou Gate?" asked General Fatan.
General Po Miao said in surprise, "But you, Lord Shangshu, said that the headmaster of the Huan Zhou Sect is only at the Golden Immortal level. Can they... help us?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed at Tang Yu beside him and said, "Have you forgotten him?"
General Fatan and General Pomiao were stunned upon hearing this. But when their eyes fell on Tang Yu, they suddenly realized what had happened. That's right! This was the demon prince of Northern Juluzhou. The demon court of the Qingxiao Treasure Realm in Northern Juluzhou was the ancestral court of the demon race in the Three Realms. There was no other second-generation demon like him.
If he asks for help from Qingxiao Treasure Realm, can Di Jun just ignore it?
Tang Yu noticed the gazes of everyone present, then smiled slightly and said to them, "The Demon Court now also obeys the orders of the Heavenly Court, so His Majesty the Demon Emperor will not send powerful demons to Xitian Mansion to help without the order of the Heavenly Court."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then their hopeful eyes were replaced by disappointment.
But at this moment, Tang Yu changed the subject and said, "I don't know what happened these days, but many powerful demons have resigned from their positions in Qingxiao Treasure Realm and become wandering immortals. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to recruit them."
"What you said about capturing and killing the general makes a lot of sense," Fang Jian said. "The Grand Envoy just approved 50 million Tribulation Jades for our Xitian Mansion. Perhaps we can invite these powerful demons and immortals to Xitian Mansion to help."
...
In Northern Juluzhou, within the cave abode of a demon immortal with the daoist skills of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, a divine general explained his purpose to the powerful demon immortal: "Your Majesty, the Minister of State has sent me here specifically to ask Your Majesty to go to the Western Heaven Palace for assistance."
Upon hearing this, the demon immortal said calmly, "I have just resigned from my position as a god in the Qingxiao Treasure Realm. It is impossible for me to go to the Western Heaven Palace to help Master Hongqing. Please return."
The general did not give up after hearing this, but continued, "The Minister said that if the king is willing to go to Xitian Mansion to help in the battle, Xitian Mansion will pay the robbery jade as a reward."
Upon hearing this, the powerful demon fairy immediately asked, "Oh? Robbery Jade? I do need Robbery Jade recently. How much Robbery Jade is your Shangshu willing to give?"
The general said, "One thousand Jieyu a day. As long as Your Majesty is willing to go, Xitian Mansion is willing to give Your Majesty a guarantee."
"Oh?" The demon immortal raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by 'guaranteed minimum'?"
The general said, "The guarantee means that when Your Majesty goes to Xitian Palace, no matter how long you serve there, even if it's only one day, Xitian Palace will pay Your Majesty a guaranteed reward of one Earth Calendar month's worth of Jieyu, which is 30,000 pieces."
The demon immortal's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Oh? This is more than my annual salary in the Qingxiao Treasure Realm. Okay, I'll accept this assignment."
The general was overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Since that's the case, I hope Your Majesty will go to the Western Heaven Palace as soon as possible."
The demon fairy nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be there within two days."
At the same time, a scene identical to the one above was taking place in the caves of the powerful Taiyi Golden Immortals of the demon clan in various places in Uttarakuru.
No one knows why these Taiyi Golden Immortals suddenly became "blinded by money", but that's what they did. They were hired by Fang Jian with the Jieyu to go to Xitian Mansion to help in the battle.
The results of this "recruitment" were very encouraging. As many as eight powerful Taiyi Golden Immortals from the demon race said they were short of money and were willing to go to Xitian Mansion to help in the battle and earn some robbery jade to spend.
"How is it? Are these people enough for the time being?" Tang Yu, who was sitting below in the reed hut of Fanqing Peak, asked Fang Jian with a smile on his face.
Fang Jian, who had the list and the news in his hand, was all smiles. He looked at Tang Yu, who was also smiling, and said, "That's enough. It's enough to deal with the current situation. Hahaha, this might be the first 'demon mercenary army' in the Great World of Yanfu."
"?" Tang Yu, who had a smile on her face, was immediately covered with doubts when she heard the three unfamiliar words from Fang Jian's mouth.
