Demon Lord Jiulu had personally descended this time because he carried a secret that Minglingzi and the others did not know.
The war between immortals and demons had already reached its most intense stage. As a Demon Lord commanding Sweet Wine Capital's elite forces, he could make enormous contributions on the immortal-demon battlefield. If Minglingzi had not reported that all of Yellow Springs Continent, aside from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, had fallen—and that even the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was only struggling on by relying on Yellow Springs Water—the Heavenly Demon Realm's army likely would not have come.
Since they had come, they had to seek a swift victory! Qili understood this as well, which was why he had volunteered to lead the charge, preparing to give the army's campaign a strong start.
Jiulu had great confidence in this. Qili had great confidence as well. Even Minglingzi and the others, who had suffered defeat after defeat, were filled with confidence!
Qili and Baxia were Sweet Wine Capital's two great guardians of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Their strength was second only to Demon Lord Jiulu's, and both had reached the peak of the Demon Sect stage—the peak of the eighteenth tier. Qili lived up to his name, possessing innate divine strength and boundless physical power. All his strength lay in close-quarters combat, fists and kicks, while his spells were comparatively mediocre. After Jiulu took him in as a trusted subordinate, he had taught him according to his particular traits, turning him into one of his most capable confidants.
The Black Iron Army under Qili's command was also known on Yellow Springs Continent as the Black Iron Generals. They numbered five thousand in total, all of them experts in close combat. Their greatest specialty was forming the Black Iron Battle Formation
