Langya Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Han looked up and saw that the dark clouds on the horizon looked rather oppressive, as if the scene of dark clouds pressing down on the city was a sign of impending disaster.

At this moment, Yi Huang, holding Scroll, walked over from a distance, her tone solemn.

"As you expected, the Extraterrestrial Evil race along the entire Great Thousand Defense Line have been quite unruly during this period."

"The Great Thousand Palace is currently mobilizing powerful individuals to guard against a sneak attack from the Extraterrestrial Evil race, so it's impossible for them to spare any manpower to help us for the time being."

"Elder Yang Ling has already begun mobilizing the sect's manpower to resist this invasion."

"Um."

Xiao Han nodded slowly. This was within his expectations, or rather, a premonition. The Extraterrestrial Evil race was very likely to launch an unprecedented offensive against the Langya Heavenly Palace, far from the small skirmishes of the past.

Rather, given the nature of the Extraterrestrial Evil race, it's truly astonishing that the former has been able to tolerate Langya Heavenly Palace's actions of snatching food from the tiger's mouth and slapping them in the face.

Xiao Han's prediction of the Extraterrestrial Evil race's offensive was quite accurate. However, just half a month later, the Warning Spirit Array located on the edge of the Huan Continent observed that a large number of Extraterrestrial Evil race had gathered. In addition to the ten Demon Emperors who were his old rivals, a new member also appeared at the head of the group.

"Which race's Demon Emperor is this?"

The existence of the Warning Spirit Array was not hidden for long before it was easily destroyed by the Demon Emperor of the Extraterrestrial Evil race. The viscous figure that appeared at the end of the scene was accurately captured by the high-ranking members of the Langya Heavenly Palace, who asked questions in confusion.

Over the years, the "human relations" between the Langya Heavenly Palace and the Extraterrestrial Evil race have been somewhat frequent. While they haven't completely cut off contact, they have been interacting every now and then. Thanks to the Extraterrestrial Evil race's humane system of rotating generals, Langya Heavenly Palace has already gained a fairly comprehensive understanding of the various races within the Extraterrestrial Evil race.

It's like that barbecue place, everyone's a familiar face.

But today's Demon Emperor is a complete stranger!

Something's definitely fishy going on here!

Unlike the whispers among the others, Xiao Han stared intently at the Demon Emperor, whom he recognized in the scene. The familiar expression of anger mixed with a hint of cowardice had vanished, replaced by a look of smug satisfaction at the imminent avenging of his great grudge.

As for the unfamiliar Demon Emperor, Xiao Han was even more certain that he had never seen any related descriptions in the records of the Great Thousand Palace, and it was most likely that he was a recently born race among the Extraterrestrial Evil race.

After so many years of dealings, the nature of the Extraterrestrial Evil race has been exposed to the Great Thousand World. It is a "hot land" where all things are thriving and competing. Conflicts between races and individuals, and the oppression and bullying of the weak by the strong are endless. Under the primitive and bloody rules, the Great Thousand World can be called civilized and harmonious in comparison.

However, under such cruel rules, the fact that a newly born race possesses a Demon Emperor shows just how much importance they place on it!

The Extraterrestrial Evil race, with their countless cannon fodder clans that don't even have Demon Emperor- level expert, must be green with envy.

"Notice."

Xiao Han spoke up, silencing the murmurs. Everyone eagerly awaited guidance from the Palace Master.

"This time, ignore the other Evil Clan for now, and deal with these newcomers at all costs."

"Remember, at all costs!"

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Han's tone even carried a hint of murderous intent, making his attitude clear.

"Yes."

Xiao Han is usually quite gentle and even a bit frivolous in front of his family. Once his attitude changes, everyone will subconsciously follow him.

"But Palace Master, this race is quite troublesome?"

While I obeyed the orders, the doubts in my heart still needed to be explained.

They didn't know them, but the Palace Master was knowledgeable and experienced; what if he did? Otherwise, why would he act as if he were facing a formidable enemy?

In response to everyone's expectations, Xiao Han gave a crisp and decisive three words.

"Have no idea."

Everyone: "..."

Caw! Caw! Caw!...

Non-existent crows flew overhead.

Perhaps feeling that an overly simplistic answer lacked sincerity, Xiao Han added:

"You should have realized by now that the Extraterrestrial Evil race is confident of victory over us this time."

"Given that no other personnel changes have occurred, where does their confidence come from? What are they relying on?"

"So, the Palace Master means that this group of unfamiliar Extraterrestrial Evil race is their source of confidence?"

The Elder were quick-witted and reacted swiftly after Xiao Han pointed it out.

"Are there any other explanations?"

Xiao Han's tone became unusually relaxed.

However, just as the atmosphere in the room was about to relax temporarily due to the end of the meeting, the sudden sounding of an alarm outside shocked everyone into standing up.

When Xiao Han and his group appeared urgently above the sect, what they saw was a massive army of the Evil Clan that blotted out the sky, and the cruel and tyrannical smiles of the many Demon Emperor leading them.

"Weren't they just at the border? How did they get here so quickly?"

One of the Elder looked quite displeased.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the Extraterrestrial Evil race actually arrived at the city gates, a speed that greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

"The Xuanmo Illusion Demon Race Profound Demon Emperor, has arrived?"

Amidst the panic of the crowd, Xiao Han remained remarkably calm, his gaze as indifferent as water as he looked at the Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor stood at the forefront of the Extraterrestrial Evil race, a smile always playing on his lips.

"As expected of the Langya Palace Master, he reacted so quickly."

The Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor was slightly surprised; he had been planning to uncover the mystery himself.

Now, even this small joy has been taken away by the Langya Palace Master on the other side.

"Brother Xu You, please show yourself."

The Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor clapped his hands, and an ordinary figure stepped out from the army of the Extraterrestrial Evil race. His appearance was not as transcendent as that of ordinary Demon Emperors, and his aura was extremely restrained. He blended perfectly into the surrounding environment.

"Was the illusion created by the Warning Spirit Array your doing?"

Xiao Han asked this question, seemingly unnecessarily. He had already realized that something had gone wrong at the front lines the moment the Extraterrestrial Evil race army arrived.

The Extraterrestrial Evil race crossed half a continent in less than half an incense stick's time and easily destroyed the Spirit Array defense circle painstakingly set up by the Langya Heavenly Palace. Xiao Han could never believe it, not even if their strongest, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, came in person.

Most likely, the Warning Spirit Array of the Langya Heavenly Palace was deceived, rendering them "blind," and the Extraterrestrial Evil race's actions occurred long before that.

The images transmitted by the Spirit Array were so clear and realistic that even he, with his powerful mental strength, was completely unaware of them. The one who made the move must be a powerful expert of similar strength to himself. Among all the Extraterrestrial Evil race, only the experts of the Illusion Demon Race possessed such abilities.

"Nice to meet you, Langya Palace Master. I hope you like this surprise I have given to your clan."

The Profound Demon Emperor Xu You greeted Xiao Han with practiced etiquette according to the customs of the Great Thousand World, to which the latter remained noncommittal.

"Ah, don't forget my contributions, Palace Master Xiao."

Seemingly displeased at being ignored, the Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor stepped forward and said in a light tone:

"I was the one who dealt with all the spies that your Langya Heavenly Palace had planted throughout the continent."

Xiao Han didn't take it to heart. The outcome was obvious from the beginning; otherwise, Langya Heavenly Palace wouldn't have been completely unaware of the impending disaster.

He clenched his fist, mentally adding a mark against the Extraterrestrial Evil race, then shifted his gaze to the Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor, gesturing towards the viscous figure beside him who had remained silent throughout.

"Could you introduce the person next to you?"

"No need for an introduction."

Xiao Han was slightly surprised. The Purple Eye Profound Demon Emperor refused, made a gesture as if to sew up his mouth, and chuckled:

"I dare not let the renowned Langya Palace Master know too much about my secrets. Wouldn't it be better to keep some secrets to ourselves?"

"Looks like there's no room for negotiation?"

"Palace Master Xiao, are you joking? If you were to bring the Langya Heavenly Palace to surrender, we would certainly welcome you."

"Excuse me..."

Xiao Han smiled apologetically, then suddenly clasped his hands together, forming a hand seal.

"I have no intention of changing allegiance."

"Yi, the Yi Archer Chasing the Sun!"

Ten Thousand Zhang Giant golden figure, ten thousand feet tall and wielding a massive bow, suddenly materialized above the Langya Heavenly Palace. Golden arrows coalesced, bursting with Flowing Light, and arrived in an instant.

"Call out!"
