After Devil Master Thunder Prison led the Demon Spirit Army in an assault on the Qiankun Continent, Dao Lord Zhǐtiān and the others formed patrol teams.
Their purpose was naturally to guard against a sudden attack from Devil Master Thunder Prison and his forces, but more importantly...
They were meant to keep Qin Hao from being disturbed.
After all, if the Demon Spirit Army really attacked, detecting it in advance would allow the Heavenly Palace to mount a better defense.
That way, Qin Hao would not have to act personally.
The patrol teams were divided into two main groups, internal and external. The most critical—and most dangerous—area was naturally the starry sky beyond the Qiankun Continent.
If the Demon God Hall's Outer Realm Demon Spirits attacked, or even sent scouts, the patrol teams in the starry sky would inevitably be the first to clash with them.
Naturally, the patrol teams in the starry sky faced the greatest danger.
"This stretch of starry sky is enormous."
Qin Hao looked thoughtful. "Forming a heavenly net of patrols across such a vast expanse would require an enormous number of people."
Qin Hao did not think the patrols could be replaced. Although he was about to head to the Outer Domain, the Demon God Hall did not know that.
Besides, if the Demon God Hall's forces were allowed to approach freely without any restraint...
