The army of the Evil Devil Domain receded like a receding tide.
They retreated to their camp high in the mountains.
After all, morale has plummeted to its lowest point. Whether it's the anti-air formation preventing the Sky Raiders from fighting in the sky, the power of the enemy's artillery, or the appearance of a mysterious old man who has blocked the Purgatory Imperial Guard.
With no powerful figures at the God Emperor Realm or above able to be mobilized, the Devil God Evil Lord must return to reconsider his options.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, but immediately erupted in thunderous cheers!
Cheers resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
The Dark Lord also instructed a Five-Star Deacon, laughing, "Spread the news of our initial victory throughout the entire Mortal Realm."
The deacon nodded and disappeared from the spot.
When everyone was in despair, they won the first match. Could there be a more delightful surprise than this kind of unexpected turn of events?
Upon returning to the city wall, the Immortal Emperor immediately said, "Inspect the damage, adjust your state, and do not let your He Song! The enemy's second attack will not be far off!"
At this moment, Elder Yao had already returned to the city wall. Mu Wan'er immediately went up to him and asked excitedly, " Grandpa Yao, how are you so strong?"
The Elder Yao chuckled and said, "I've never talked about my own strength, and you haven't asked, have you?"
Mu Wan'er smiled wryly, "At the time, Grandpa Yao acted just like an ordinary mortal, how could I have thought about this?"
At this moment, the three Immortal Ancestor also landed, looking at Elder Yao with curiosity. The leading Immortal Ancestor asked, "Fellow Daoist, where are you from? Why have I never heard of you before?"
Moreover, Elder Yao said at the time was that he wasn't from this dimension, but merely a rootless person...
Not this dimension? Does it mean it's not from this world?
As for the rootless person, perhaps it means that he does not represent any particular faction?
"Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, come from the Divine Realm above?"
The Elder Yao smiled and looked at the Immortal Ancestor, saying, "Do you think the Divine Realm would do such a thing?"
"Indeed." The three Immortal Ancestor all nodded. "Since you don't want to say, then we won't ask."
That would be best.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor also stepped forward, cupped his hands, and expressed his gratitude.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the Elder Yao waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about this old man. You can handle the rest yourselves. I won't interfere."
The Immortal Emperor nodded earnestly. "Senior has already provided more than enough help."
Immediately afterwards, he and the others went to discuss how to deal with the next wave.
Although they won the first battle, it was entirely due to the presence of these cannons and the appearance of the Elder Yao.
This does not mean they already have the strength to counter the other side.
Even without either side's God Emperor Realm intervening, the gap between the two sides remains enormous.
At this moment.
Hong Ying noticed Mu Fusheng's expression and transmitted her voice, "Is Junior Brother Mu doubting this senior?"
Mu Fusheng shook his head, still looking at Elder Yao thoughtfully, and replied telepathically, "I wouldn't say I doubt him, but what he said really bothers me."
"I only stopped you. If it were someone else... I'm afraid..." Hong Ying understood in an instant.
Mu Fusheng nodded. "That's right. What he said makes it sound like he knows there's a powerful figure watching this battlefield from the shadows. And as far as we know, the only one in the shadows is our master, and only he has the ability to kill everyone in the Evil Devil Domain."
"So, this senior probably knows about Master's existence?" Hong Ying's expression changed slightly.
Mu Fusheng's expression also turned slightly serious. "They probably know, or there are other powerful figures in the shadows, but that's unlikely, as neither of those conditions applies."
"Firstly, there's no reason for them to help a Mortal Realm whose lineage has been severed; there's no benefit to be gained from it."
All forms of assistance, to a greater or lesser extent, involve a conflict of interest.
There's no such thing as unsolicited help, especially not in something so significant.
"Secondly... with Master's strength, he would definitely be able to detect that person's presence."
If neither of these two points is met, it can only mean that Elder Yao knew of Lu Changsheng's existence.
Hearing this, Hong Ying nodded in agreement. "Let's observe the situation first. Master hasn't made any moves either; perhaps he's also observing. However, judging from the current situation, the other party doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."
However, unnoticed by everyone, the Elder Yao smiled and glanced at Mu Fusheng and Hong Ying, saying nothing, "Alright, this old man will just find a place to rest. I won't get involved in what happens next."
After saying that, the Elder Yao disappeared from the spot.
As expected, the Evil Devil Domain's second attack arrived on the third day.
The dark, swarming demons of the Evil Devil Domain surged over the mountains and trampled across the plains!
This time, however, above them stood a black shield powerful enough to shield the entire Evil Devil Domain army!
The Immortal Emperor frowned slightly upon seeing this, "As expected, once the opponent's God Emperor Realm is unable to act, they will inevitably take some measures."
However, we should still give it a try.
Immediately, the Immortal Emperor ordered the cannons to fire!
A barrage of fireballs surged toward the Evil Devil Domain army!
However, upon seeing this scene, the four elders of the Evil Devil Domain army all revealed disdainful smiles.
Fireballs rained down from the sky like a storm, like stars falling from the heavens!
The scale of the operation was terrifying!
However, when all these fireballs landed on the black shield...
Although it emitted a tremendous roar, a huge burst of flames erupted from the black shield!
However, after the flames dissipated, the black shield only trembled a few times, without even a crack appearing!
"This is comparable to Ancestral Artifact artifact, the Black Devil Evil God Shield," a Immortal Ancestor said with a slight frown.
A being comparable to Ancestral Artifact can naturally withstand the firepower of the Peak God Emperor Realm.
"You think the old methods will still work? You're underestimating the Evil Devil Domain!" The Grand Elder waved his hand and roared, "Crush them! Wash away the shame of the first battle!"
The Evil Devil Domain army roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!
Travel at a faster pace across the vast plains!
They began rapidly approaching the city walls!
The Immortal Emperor, his expression grave, commanded, "Next, everyone, prepare to make your move. Pay attention to the coordination between the enemy's Devil Shield Army and Evil Spear Army, and more importantly, the Devious Arts Imperial Guard!"
The seven powerful Divine Lord, including the Divine Lord Hao Tian, also began to command their sect members to prepare for battle!
Ye Qiubai took out the Geng Metal Divine Sword, his face serious, and said, "The time has come to test our cultivation results. We can't let Master lose face, or we'll be in big trouble when we get back."
Mu Ziqing asked, "Why did it turn out so badly?"
Ye Qiubai's face twitched, as if he had recalled something unpleasant.
"You'll have to try Junior Brother Xiao Hei's cooking sometime."
Mu Fusheng's body trembled, and he looked at Ye Qiubai, saying, "Senior Brother, do you want to kill my sister-in-law?"
Xiao Hei: "..."
