At the same time Gu Chenfeng received the message.
The higher-ups of the various super forces also received messages from their own intelligence hubs.
Everyone's expression changed.
Even the Demon Race's higher-ups looked stricken, clearly having encountered the same situation.
The rear territories of both the Human and Demon Races were in crisis.
Noticing their reactions, Mingluo grew all the more smug.
"Our defeat ten thousand years ago also prompted us to reflect. It seemed that simply suppressing you with overwhelming force was not appropriate.
"Your ranks are also riddled with deceit and strife, whether among the Human Race or the Demon Race.
"So we secretly gathered some who understood which way the wind was blowing, making them our allies to help us eliminate stubborn fools like you.
"The day I break free of my seal is the day they rebel. Hahaha..."
Mingluo burst into unbridled laughter, a vicious gleam then appearing in his eyes.
"The real war has only just begun. We won't give you any opportunities as we did ten thousand years ago."
With that, wrapped in the blood-colored space, Mingluo openly retreated into the distance.
"Let's go!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!
Within the demonic tide, Blood Refining Venerable and the other Source Venerable-level Soul Devouring Beasts swiftly followed.
Then the demonic tide in every direction also began to retreat, pouring into the fissures underground.
Seeing this, the mighty figures of the Human and Demon Races, led by Yuqing, felt reluctant but chose not to pursue.
Their rear territories had all sent requests for aid. If they remained entangled here, the situation back home would become even more dangerous.
"Let's each return and secure our sect grounds first."
Watching Mingluo and the others retreat, Yuqing spoke calmly.
The powerhouses of the Human and Demon Races all nodded in agreement.
