"What? How did the power of the Extraterrestrial Evil race increase so much?"

Some of the Elder who were more familiar with the situation sounded astonished, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

During this time, the others, with the help of the Elder around them, also gained a general understanding of the original configuration of the Extraterrestrial Evil race, their faces turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

A few years ago, Langya Heavenly Palace reclaimed the Huan Continent, so naturally it would be wary of its mortal enemy. At that time, the Savage Demon Race Army only had one Profound Demon Emperor and two Nether Demon Emperors, and its Earthly Supreme Realm experts were basically on par with the Langya Heavenly Palace.

This is precisely why the two factions have been able to coexist peacefully.

The Elder had thought that with the addition of fresh forces from the Heavenly Azure Continent, their strength would at least be able to overpower the enemy. However, the power of the Savage Demon Race Clan had expanded even more terrifyingly, doubling in size!

Looking down at the bustling hall below, which resembled a marketplace, Xiao Han tapped the armrest beside him. The clear sound reached everyone's ears, and they involuntarily quieted down.

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

"Just because the enemy is too strong?"

"What? Are you all afraid?"

Where did your earlier bravado go?

"..."

Xiao Han's calm and collected words struck a chord with everyone, evoking feelings of shame and embarrassment.

"Judging from your reaction, you're not planning to fight? Should we reconsider?"

Finally, Xiao Han asked in a questioning tone.

A long-term plan?

The Elder observed Xiao Han's seemingly unchanged expression and unanimously rejected the answer in their hearts.

Those who knew Xiao Han's character well understood that the moment Xiao Han brought up this matter today, taking the initiative was a foregone conclusion, and there was no turning back.

On the other hand, what puzzled the Elder was why, since the Palace Master clearly understood the balance of power between the two sides, he still chose to start a war.

Could it be that the sect has some hidden trump card that they are unaware of?

Finally, Tai Yun stepped forward, feeling slightly helpless. With Yang Ling in seclusion, he was the only one willing to take on the role of the straight man.

"Palace Master, we are truly foolish and ignorant. Please enlighten Palace Master."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han nodded slightly, gesturing for Tai Yun to sit down. His icy blue Spiritual Power flowed out from his fingers, weaving a diagram of the Savage Demon Race's strength in mid-air. The scarlet characters representing the Profound Demon Emperor and the pitch-black characters representing the Nether Demon Emperor were shocking to everyone.

"I won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Han made a finger gesture, and with the movement of his fingertip, several names were filled in at the top.

"Xiao Han, Ice Emperor, Yang Ling, Liu Qingyang."

The four familiar or unfamiliar titles left the Elder with a mix of speculation and tension.

"I'll handle the two Profound Demon Emperors. The Supreme Elder will deal with the three veteran Nether Demon Emperor. Liu Qingyang and Yang Ling will each take care of one Nether Demon Emperor."

At this moment, Tai Yun, with a troubled expression, stood up abruptly and said with deep concern:

"Palace Master, isn't this arrangement too radical?"

"The Palace Master and the Grand Supreme are undoubtedly powerful, so dealing with them shouldn't be a problem, but the other two..."

Tai Yun was slightly speechless, wanting to get his thoughts out of his mouth.

Given the glorious achievements of Ice Emperor and Xiao Han in the past, Tai Yun did not question Xiao Han's arrangements. However, it was uncertain whether Yang Ling and Liu Qingyang, who seemed to be a junior from the Heavenly Azure Continent, could successfully break through. Moreover, could they, who had just broken through and were not yet familiar with the power of the Heavenly Supreme level, really deal with a strong person of the same level?

Your concerns are not unfounded.

Xiao Han did not refuse Tai Yun's kind offer, but before the latter could even breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately said,

"But I have confidence in them and can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen to them."

This effectively blocked Tai Yun's path of persuasion, leaving him with no choice but to sit back in his original seat, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xiao Han continued making arrangements, circulating his Spiritual Power, and another map showing the distribution of the Savage Demon Race Clan's forces appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Barbarian King City 'Barbarian King City, a capital city, is located in the center of the continent, while the remaining five cities are scattered across millions of miles around it.

"Barbarian King City, as the stronghold of the Savage Demon Race, is home to all their Demon Emperor. The other cities each have forty to fifty Earthly Supreme- level experts and a large number of the Evil Clan below the Earthly Supreme."

Looking at the distribution of the opponent's forces, Xiao Han had an undisguised smile in his eyes. Perhaps because of the restless "neighbor" Langya Heavenly Palace, the Savage Demon Race's experts had gathered almost all of their forces together to prevent the opponent from launching a sneak attack without any martial ethics.

As for the other cities, the powerful members of the Evil Clan considered them nothing more than appendages, and it didn't matter if they all fell. This conveniently facilitated Xiao Han's arrangements.

"When the great war begins, I will lead the sect's Heavenly Supreme in a grand offensive against Barbarian King City, trapping all their powerful warriors within the city."

"And you..."

"Qian Cha!" Xiao Han suddenly shouted.

"Exist!"

"With the Langya Guard's current strength, taking over a city shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Qian Cha could barely contain his excitement, a smile he couldn't hide on his face. This was the first large-scale operation since the establishment of the Langya Guard!

Even though the number of Earthly Supreme in the Langya Guard was barely equal to the number of those in an entire enemy city, he had no doubt that he could complete his battle plan.

"Please wait and see, Sect Master!"

"You Ye, you lead one-third of the Elder, and choose your own target!"

"Yes."

You Ye agreed readily. Facing the Savage Demon Race who lacked strong defenses, with a ratio of almost two to one strong warriors and a combat style akin to open field battles, he couldn't imagine why he would lose.

"Tai Yun!"

Xiao Han's gaze fell upon the old man who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Your Thousand Illusion Realm hasn't lost its power, has it?"

"Please give your orders, Palace Master."

Tai Yun understood Xiao Han's intention and responded with a smile.

"One-third of the Elder, just like You Ye."

"Yes, sir!"

Xiao Han concluded by saying,

"That's the arrangement. The remaining Elder will stay behind."

"Doesn't the Palace Master need to bring some people with him?"

You Ye asked another question, and the answer was undoubtedly no.

"We're just stalling for time; you're the main attackers. Bringing more people would only be a burden."

"Clear."

Barbarian King City.

A grand banquet was held in the City Lord's Mansion, and the attendees were all muscular, burly, and ferocious brutes.

Although they were unremarkable in appearance, the absolute power they displayed in every move made people dare not underestimate them.

In the most prestigious spot of the hall, two large men sat facing each other, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

"Come on, Brother Qian Feng, let's have a drink!"

A man with a sharp horn on one side of his forehead and half his face covered with strange black patterns held up a wine cup and laughed at the person opposite him.

"Then I'll offer a Tian Huang."

The other person, slightly more reserved, smiled and clinked glasses with the first person.

The two drank their wine in one gulp. Qian Feng continued to pour wine for Tian Huang, who said in a light tone:

"Ever since the rise of that Langya Heavenly Palace, I've been living in constant fear, afraid that the Great Thousand World will attack."

"That's great, now that my brother has come to our aid, we can finally rest easy."

Qian Feng smiled and shook his head, saying rather modestly:

"Brother, you're underestimating yourself. I believe that even without me, Barbarian King City is impregnable."

Upon hearing this, Qian Feng remained noncommittal, offering only a wry smile.

"Brother, don't try to comfort me. We're family, so we know each other best."

"The battle record of that Langya Heavenly Palace Master has probably already spread throughout the clan. He's not exactly a peaceful person; I don't have the confidence to defeat someone like him."

"Their Grand Supreme is no pushover either. I even doubt whether my two useless subordinates can hold him off for two hours."

Perhaps realizing that his words were somewhat disappointing, Tian Huang waved his hand.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

"By the way, how long will you be staying in Barbarian King City this time, brother?"

Qian Feng put down the wine jug in his hand and pondered:

"This underling doesn't know either. My orders are to follow signals."

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Tian Huang's eyes, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Was it that person's idea again?"

"I just don't understand. There are plenty of people in the clan stronger than him, so why does the clan leader rely so much on this guy who's only been back for a few years?"

Qian Feng comforted her from the side:

"Brother, watch your words!"

"As you know, our clan is somewhat lacking in strategic planning, and it hasn't been easy for us to find a clan leader like this!"

"Besides, didn't he also provide the clan with important intelligence?"

"Intelligence? What intelligence?"

Tian Huang's tone remained unchanged, making no attempt to conceal his suspicion.

"I'll ask you this: can you believe that a mere Lower Plane could bury dozens of our Demon Emperor?"

That's the Demon Emperor! Not some nobody!

Tian Huang himself is Demon Emperor, and has a profound understanding of the power at this level. Every Demon Emperor possesses the power to easily destroy a continent, and without anyone stopping them, they could easily shatter a Lower Plane.

If it were just one or two, it could be attributed to the Lower Plane being lucky enough to produce a few capable and powerful individuals.

But these are dozens, which, even in the Great Thousand World, would be enough to wipe out most Super faction.

However, the fact that such a power was completely buried in a Lower Plane is simply Arabian Nights!

"To send out a powerful expert to investigate just because of a piece of news whose veracity is unknown, is truly..."

Sigh~

With that, Tian Huang let out a long sigh.

Qian Feng's expression remained unchanged.

"But you should also understand, brother, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."

"If that Lower Plane truly exists, it must have something special about it. Even though it has been in decline for a long time, it still possesses a value far exceeding that of other continents."

"It's just a matter of the clan sending out a few idle experts; it won't take too much effort."

"Even in the worst-case scenario, occupying that continent would help you get rid of your current major threat, wouldn't it?"

As he spoke, Qian Feng pointed in the direction of the Langya Heavenly Palace.

"That's true."

After pondering for a long time, Tian Huang nodded, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"For such outstanding individuals to emerge, that continent must possess something extraordinary."

"Anyway, it won't do me any harm."

Seeing this, Qian Feng smiled and refilled Tian Huang's empty wine cup.

"Hey bro, let's keep drinking."

"Continue, continue."
