If Zhou Nanwang fell, and the Prefectural Office were then razed to the ground, Lihuo Prefecture's situation would deteriorate to the point of plunging into an abyss.
The Ten Southern Demons were generally divided into three tiers according to seniority, strength, and military merit.
Azure Demon belonged to the first tier, equivalent to a Heavenly Grandmaster among martial artists, one of the Demon Race's foremost beings.
The Dragon Demon who had appeared earlier was at the bottom, namely the third tier, the weakest rank among the Ten Southern Demons.
There had originally been three great demons in the third tier. Later, the Great Prince killed two of them, and that tier was currently still being replenished.
The strongest and weakest tiers both had the fewest members. The second tier, with the most members, was the main force and backbone of the Ten Southern Demons.
The four great demons who had appeared on the battlefield this time—Alligator Demon, Terrifying Demon, Mute Demon, and Rabbit Demon—were all from the second tier.
Cunning Demon and Beautiful Demon from Gathering Cauldron Mountain were likewise second-tier members.
Together, that made six great demons. Excluding the badly weakened Dragon Demon and Azure Demon, who had just been severely wounded by the Great Prince—
Nearly all the force the Ten Southern Demons could currently deploy had come to Lihuo Prefecture.
Upon realizing this, Zhou You's heart skipped a beat. The matter of the Demon Transformation Cauldron had blown up.
The Demon Race's regard for it, their determination to destroy it at all costs, had exceeded all expectations. They had practically launched their entire nest at Lihuo Prefecture.
With Lihuo Prefecture's strength, it simply could not withstand this fierce assault.
No matter how formidable Zhou Nanwang was, at most he could match one of the Ten Southern Demons.
