Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo Stunned! Lin Feng's Carrot and Stick Approach?

At the same time, not far from the City of Slaughter.

Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been ordered to investigate, were about to reach their destination.

As close friends, the two coordinated with extreme tacit understanding, and their division of labor was very clear.

Gui Mei, who came and went without a trace, flew in front to act as a scout, while Yue Guan stayed behind to provide support at any time.

The road was smooth and unobstructed, and they did not encounter any obstacles until they reached the small town on the outskirts of the entrance, where they were intercepted by federal troops.

Asmodeus, the Dragon Rider Demon God of the Thirty-Second Pillar and one of the vanguard members, led more than ten eighth-rank members of the Demon Race to surround them, forming a standoff.

"Hmm? What are these things? They look ugly and weird!" Yue Guan examined them carefully, his tone full of disgust.

"They look like the product of a union between humans and magical beasts. Damn it, is the leader a Title Douluo?" Gui Mei frowned fiercely, his soul power erupting.

As they spoke, the two quickly huddled together.

Back-to-back, they hovered in the air, standing on guard and looking around.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum bloomed with golden light, echoing the ghostly Gui Mei; one bright and one dark, they were like a single entity.

Having left early, they had not heard of the battle in the Sunset Forest and were completely unaware of the Holy Demon Federation, so they appeared quite surprised.

"Who are you people? Why are you at the City of Slaughter? Could it be that the monster, the King of Slaughter, has developed some new product?"

Martial Soul Hall and the City of Slaughter were currently in a stage of cooperation.

Yue Guan had clearly misunderstood and took the initiative to voice his doubts.

However, the answer he received was a cold glint; Asmodeus, the Dragon Rider Demon God, was in no mood to converse with him.

Holding his long spear, he took the lead in launching an attack, while the eighth-rank teammates beside him took out communication tools one after another.

Sparks rose into the sky, forming simple energy signals—a reconnaissance warning method to alert the main army in the camp.

Immediately after, deep within the small town behind them, powerful auras erupted one after another, and soul-sensing energy rushed over, instantly enveloping the vicinity of the battlefield.

"Damn it! What kind of joke is this! Title Douluo! They're all Title Douluo! There are so many!"

Dodging Asmodeus's charge, Yue Guan was too stunned by the scene before him to even think.

At least seven or eight auras no weaker than his own appeared from the nearby town, clearly originating from the City of Slaughter.

When did so many powerhouses pop up in that godforsaken place? He subconsciously felt it was unbelievable, to the point that he almost froze in place.

Fortunately, his teammate Gui Mei was by his side.

Seeing this, he let out a horrified shout, forcibly pulling Yue Guan's thoughts back.

They exchanged a glance with extreme tacit understanding; without a word, they immediately knew what to do.

Run! Run quickly! Run without hesitation! If they delayed any longer, they would be finished.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus could not completely seal them off alone, Yue Guan and Gui Mei decisively turned around and fled at top speed.

When Marbas, the Hell Demon God of the Fifth Pillar, led several other Demon Gods to arrive, he could only see a "black dot" in the distance, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"What's going on? What were those two guys doing?"

Marbas was in a bad mood and frowned at Asmodeus.

"I was just patrolling with the Third Squad when they popped out of nowhere. As soon as we met, they cursed me for being a research product of the King of Slaughter."

"I originally wanted to stall for time and wait for you to come and reinforce us, but who knew they would be such cowards? They ran as soon as they sensed the fluctuations. Sorry, I didn't stop them."

Asmodeus gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.

He answered truthfully, leaving Marbas bewildered.

Good news: they were scared off as soon as they arrived, so no intelligence was obtained.

Bad news: not only did they fail to capture any live prisoners, but they also failed to identify the other party.

He considered pursuing them, but while Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo were lacking in other areas, their escape speed was quite swift, and they were already nowhere to be seen.

Sighing irritably, Marbas had to sternly emphasize that such a situation must not happen again and increased the strength of the patrol teams.

After speaking, he returned the way he came.

He went deep into the City of Slaughter and arrived at the temporary command post.

At this very moment, Samigina, the Necromancy Demon God of the Fourth Pillar, was activating the communication formation.

He was reporting the progress and situation of the defense to Lin Feng, who was on the Holy Demon Continent, and happened to hear about what had just occurred.

"Your Majesty, I am very sorry. The intruders fled too decisively, and we failed to capture them."

Although it was an unexpected situation, Samigina and Marbas still bowed respectfully to plead guilty.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I have already guessed who it was. With the turmoil in the City of Slaughter, Martial Soul Hall would naturally react."

"Continue to strengthen the defense of the station and send more patrol troops. This kind of mistake can happen once, but it must never happen a second time."

Lin Feng guessed in a second that it must have been Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

He gave a casual reprimand, mixing kindness with severity, but he didn't take it to heart.

With the current strength of the Holy Demon Federation, the combat power of Yue Guan and Gui Mei could basically be ignored.

It would be best if they died, but if they didn't, it wouldn't matter; once he had firmly established his footing and the various legions launched a full-scale offensive, he would simply flatten them.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty! We shall bear it in mind!"

Confirming that Lin Feng was not pursuing the matter, the two Demon Gods breathed a sigh of relief.

Do not be fooled by how easygoing this Demon God Emperor appeared right now; that was only because he was in a good mood.

As the most senior Demon Gods currently within the Demon Race, Samigina and Marbas had personally experienced the great war of those years.

They had witnessed how Lin Feng had forcefully crushed all opposition to become the Demon God Emperor, and how he had used iron-fisted tactics to subjugate the human race; every step of the process had been accompanied by slaughter.

"Speed up the progress and secure the defense line of the City of Slaughter."

"The human side has already won their first battle, and your side will be next."

"I can overlook a minor mistake; it is of no great consequence."

"But if the war turns unfavorable when the time comes, you should understand the consequences, should you not?"

Lin Feng's voice echoed eerily through the space of the war room, as he could not be bothered to listen to any further feedback.

Having finished speaking, he proactively closed the communication screen, leaving behind a trace of pressure for the two Demon Gods to contemplate.

Cold sweat broke out on Samigina and Marbas; the luck and relaxation they had felt just moments ago vanished in an instant.

As expected... His Majesty was still that same His Majesty. Perhaps he was in a good mood recently due to the smooth progress of the offensive on the Douluo side, but that was absolutely no reason for them to be negligent.

"Quick! You personally take charge of the patrols in the City of Slaughter; a similar situation must never happen again!"

"I will urge the construction of the fortifications; we must complete His Majesty's instructions even faster than the scheduled plan!"

Samigina took a deep breath, and together with Marbas, they steeled their spirits, throwing themselves into their work with even greater fervor.

As for the culprits who had caused all of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had already fled a great distance away.

Panting for breath, they hid in a dark corner to conceal themselves; even though they saw no sign of enemy pursuit, they still felt lingering fear.

"Old Ghost, did you count them just now? I sensed them roughly, and there were at least a dozen Title Douluo, and many of them were stronger than us!"

"In that kind of situation, you still had the heart to scout? Forget it, hurry up and recover your soul power. Such a terrifying discovery must be reported to the Pope as soon as possible! It's too frightening!"
