Five days later, on a night nearly two thousand miles from Rock Mountain Pass, in a city located at the border between the original spheres of influence of the Imperial Capital Army and the Western Demon Realm, the White Bear King and others sat together in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

They had been pursued by Su Xiangxue for thousands of miles, fighting and stopping along the way, before barely managing to escape to this place and reorganize their army.

The other Demon King and Cloud Kun Chancellor had also awakened and sat here with pale faces. Together with the newly Accession to the Throne Demon Emperor, this was everyone present.

Where is the White Fox King?

"I just woke up, "Cloud Kun Chancellor asked weakly.

"They went to help us fend off the County Princess's pursuit."

The White Bear King was also covered in bandages, and looked extremely weak.

"Does this mean we've won?"

The Ape King accidentally touched the wound on his arm, wincing in pain.

"Ah, we won, of course we won." The White Bear King's face showed a relieved smile. He raised the ancient painting in his hand and said, "The Sword Ancestor of the Human Race, the powerful enemy who has troubled our entire Demon Realm for more than two thousand years, is now in this painting of Immortals."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, we still had to rely on the Magic Treasure left behind by the Human Race to subdue him."

The Dragon King's face was filled with a sigh.

"By the way, what about the other four Demon Kings?"

"I've already locked him in the Dungeon."

The White Bear King held up the Ink-Splash Immortal Painting in his hand and replied, "Anyone who enters this painting, unless they are the owner of the Magic Treasure, will be attacked by the Splash-Ink Immortal generated within the painting's space. Those four good-for-nothings are no match for this Immortals."

"And what about the Sword Ancestor?"

Flying Tiger King, Bai Qiuran's Death Piledriver, asked, "I don't think even an ordinary Immortals could defeat him, right?"

"Certainly."

The White Bear King unfolded the picture album, glanced at it discreetly, and said with lingering fear, "From the Battle of Rock Mountain Pass until now, it has been a full five days. In this picture, the Splash-Ink Immortal have been constantly appearing to besiege the Sword Ancestor, and the Sword Ancestor has been fighting them non-stop. To date, I have lost count of how many Splash-Ink Immortal he has killed... But fortunately, it seems that he is about to run out of energy."

"Is that Human Race Sword Ancestor really that strong?"

Upon hearing this, the newly appointed Demon Emperor, who had not participated in the Battle of Rock Mountain Pass but was sitting directly opposite the White Bear King, showed an expression of admiration.

"Such a powerful person, I really want to meet him."

"His Your Highness Cang Huangyu is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."

Upon hearing this, the White Bear King sneered, "If you were truly sent to the battlefield, I'm afraid the Human Race Sword Ancestor could crush you with just a glance."

Who isn't?

Cang Huangyu looked around and shrugged.

"Judging from the expressions of these Demon Kings, they're all going to lose anyway, so I might as well go for it."

"So, judging from His Your Highness Cang Huangyu's words, you're planning to test how much we old guys really amount to?"

Flying Tiger King replied with an unfriendly expression.

"You are all critically injured and on the verge of death, sitting right in front of me. I have to admit, it's incredibly tempting."

Cang Huangyu smiled, and the Demon Essence within his body began to flow slowly. A faint, wispy golden dragon aura began to emerge from his entire body.

"Hmph, even severely injured, it's more than enough to kill a mere brat who's just reached the Demon General Realm."

Flying Tiger King also wore a long face and clenched his fists.

The Demon General Realm of the Monster Race is roughly equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage of the Human Race. Although Cang Huangyu, who inherited the royal bloodline and underwent a mutation, can exert combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people of the same level, he is still too inexperienced when facing Demon King in the Body Integration Stage.

"Alright."

Just as tensions were about to rise, Cloud Kun Chancellor spoke up to stop them, saying, "We've all been beaten to such a sorry state, and there's a Main Hall outside with a large army, completely unharmed, watching us intently. Are we going to drag our exhausted bodies here and fight first, only to let the Main Hall reap the benefits?"

Upon hearing his words, Flying Tiger King and Cang Huangyu calmed down for the time being.

Cloud Kun Chancellor coughed twice and then said, "Both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and we must unite to deal with the County Princess's attack. With the Black Snake King and his four companions captured, the Western Demon Realm's army is undoubtedly now at her beck and call. We must hold out until the Sword Ancestor's strength is exhausted before we can discuss terms with Her Main Hall."

"Chancellor Yun is right."

The White Fox King walked in from outside and agreed.

He sat down at the empty spot with the book, and the White Bear King next to him noticed the unnatural paleness on his face and couldn't help but ask, "Fox, are you injured?"

"Yes, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

The White Fox King smiled wryly, "Women are truly terrifying. Today is the first time I've witnessed what it's like for a powerful woman to go crazy..."

Where is the County Princess?

Cloud Kun Chancellor asked.

"I tricked them; they went back to reorganize their troops and... books."

The White Fox King replied, "Your Main Hall's strength is extraordinary, but she seems to lack something in terms of military strategy and tactics..."

"After all, Her Main Hall's heart isn't in this. She's just a young lady; her heart is only with the Sword Ancestor of the Human Race. It's understandable."

The Dragon King laughed, "When it comes to military campaigns, we still have to look to the Demon King and prime ministers. Now we can take advantage of her weakness and do our best to reduce the number of her troops. What do you say, Chancellor Yun?"

"Yes, that's definitely how it should be."

Cloud Kun Chancellor cupped his hands and said, "Please leave this matter to me. Also, regarding the question about the map of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb..."

"It's alright. According to intelligence, he always carries that fragment with him. Once the Sword Ancestor is exhausted, his Storage Bag will be ours."

The White Bear King laughed and said, "Chancellor Yun, let's maintain this alliance until the Grand Ancestor Imperial Mausoleum is opened."

"Um."

Cloud Kun Chancellor nodded, looking at the optimistic expressions on the faces of the Demon King present, but for some reason, he felt a vague unease in his heart.

He thought for a moment, then used his Spiritual Sense to remind Cang Huangyu beside him, "Your Majesty, remember what I said: if you encounter the Sword Ancestor, do not hesitate, immediately take out the jade pendant I gave you and surrender!"

Su Xiangxue's face was icy cold, or at least she was putting on an act, as she stormed back into the Western Demon Realm's army.

The soldiers of the Western Demon Realm dared not raise their heads, keeping them lowered, waiting for the County Princess was now the de facto leader, to walk past them and return to her own tent.

As soon as she sat down, Su Xiangxue immediately called out, "Someone come here."

A demon general with a crocodile head walked in from outside the tent and bowed, saying, "What are your orders, County Princess?"

"Pass on my order: tomorrow morning, the entire army will prepare food. One hour later, the entire army will assemble and attack the enemy city."

"County Princess..."

The crocodile demon hesitated, "But after days of fighting, the brothers' strength is already..."

"Haven't I been fighting for days on end?"

Su Xiangxue glanced at him coldly and said, "Do I really have to tell you outright that the enemy's generals are all seriously injured and their army is weak, and this is our only chance before you understand?"

The crocodile demon general knelt on one knee, head bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

"If you understand, then go and pass on the order."

Su Xiangxue said calmly.

"Yes."

The crocodile demon lowered its head and backed out of the tent. After a moment, Su Xiangxue's keen ears caught the sound of the crocodile demon general spitting and cursing outside.

"Shrew!"

But she didn't seem to care at all, resting her cheek on her hand and smiling.
