The setting sun was like blood.
The plains had cracked open with fissures as thick as an arm, and fresh blood flowed through them like crimson streams...
The front lines of the battlefield.
The Evil Devil Domain's third attack was extremely swift and fierce.
Even with advance preparations and the setting of traps, it was still impossible to stop the enemy's advance.
Moreover, the difficulty of resisting has increased significantly after losing Ye Qiubai and the others.
In just one hour, the losses have been extremely severe!
Now, the Evil Devil Domain forces have crossed more than half of the plains! They are not far from the city walls.
The Immortal Emperor and his master looked grave as they observed the scene, saying, "Has Ye Qiubai and the others still not made a move? Given the current situation, I'm afraid they can't hold on much longer..."
The man sighed softly, "The failures of the previous two attacks have caused the Evil Devil Domain to lose face. But things don't happen more than three times; this third attack will undoubtedly be a fierce assault."
"Even if Ye Qiubai and the others were here, they probably wouldn't be of much use, and the enemy's fierce attack would still be determined to breach this city wall."
That's right.
In a battle between two armies, without an absolute advantage in high-level combat power, even with the help of Ye Qiubai and others, the Mortal Realm would not be able to gain the upper hand against the numerous and stronger Evil Devil Domain.
"That's right... now we can only trust Ye Qiubai and the others." The Immortal Emperor cast his gaze towards the high mountain and said softly, "Hopefully they can make a big commotion..."
At this point, even the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Unexpectedly, the Evil Devil Domain's first, second, and even third attacks all relied on Ye Qiubai and his group.
This left the Immortal Emperor somewhat amused and exasperated.
Meanwhile, behind the Evil Devil Domain army, four elders looked extremely grim.
They had received a telepathic message that the other side had sent people to bypass their Divine Sense senses, cross the mountains, and launch a surprise attack on their stronghold. Moreover, despite having so many troops stationed there, they had destroyed as much as 80% of their logistical supplies!
Moreover, the enemy is still wreaking havoc within the stronghold.
Even those at the God Emperor Realm were unable to act, and those at the Half-Step God Emperor Realm were also unable to gain the upper hand against their opponent.
They could only watch helplessly as those few young men continued to slaughter their army!
"This is utterly absurd!" the Grand Elder roared. "Is there really no way to deal with them?!"
One of the elders had a grim expression. "It seems they are forcing us to retreat. If we don't retreat and defend our rear, they might continue their slaughter."
"Can't we just ignore it and let them slaughter in the rear, while we take advantage of this opportunity to completely conquer them?"
One of the elders with the blue face shook his head and said, "If we allow the enemy to slaughter us, not only will our supply lines be completely cut off, but it will also have a fatal impact on our future attacks on other realms."
At this point, the blue-faced elder said with a solemn expression, "You must know that the other realm has been watching this place closely. Although they haven't taken action to help the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm resist us yet, they might take advantage of the situation to attack if they discover that their strength has been greatly reduced!"
Hearing the analysis from the other three elders, the First Elder took a deep breath and looked towards the stronghold, saying, "It seems those young men have figured out our intentions, which is why they didn't destroy all the supplies, but left 20% behind. They're using this to force us to retreat..."
That's right, that's also what Ye Qiubai and the others wanted to achieve.
With Xiao Shitou's mastery of space, combined with Mu Fusheng's talismans, destroying all the supplies would be far too easy.
However, doing so would thoroughly enrage the Evil Devil Domain, causing them to recklessly invade the Mortal Realm in their fury!
If 20% are preserved, there is still a glimmer of hope, and they won't be completely without supplies.
"But if we retreat now... this will be the third attack! We haven't even breached one of their city walls. What will the world think of my Evil Devil Domain?!" The blue-faced elder's blue face even turned blood red.
Above, the Evil Lord and the Devil God seemed to have already learned of the information.
The Evil Lord calmly said, "Let's withdraw our troops."
The four elders looked up in astonishment, only to see the Evil Lord's expression remained calm. This... was somewhat unlike the Evil Lord's personality!
Generally speaking, Evil Lord are less adept at hiding their emotions than Devil God; they will show their anger on their faces as soon as they feel the slightest displeasure.
But this time, there wasn't a trace of anger at all?
The Grand Elder quickly cupped his hands and said, "But..."
"I say... retreat!" The Evil Lord coldly looked at the Grand Elder.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He then waved his hand and roared, "Withdraw the troops!"
Although the Evil Devil Domain army at the front was puzzled, they had no choice but to obey orders quickly due to their usual training.
As they retreated, every soldier from the Evil Devil Domain had a face filled with resentment and suppressed anger.
Upon witnessing the retreat of the Evil Devil Domain's army like a receding tide, the people of the Mortal Realm and Immortal Realm realms were stunned for a moment, and then erupted in earth-shattering cheers!
The Immortal Emperor and his master, who knew the truth, breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a smile.
It seems Ye Qiubai and his team succeeded.
Immediately, the Immortal Emperor stepped forward and roared, "Everyone deserves credit for this successful defense, but Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, Xiao Hei, Mu Fusheng, Shi Sheng, Mu Wan'er, Xiao Shitou, and Fang Qiong deserve the greatest credit!"
Everyone was taken aback. They had indeed achieved the greatest victories in the previous two battles, but they hadn't shown up this time!
Even the Ji Qianyao, Jin Wujin, and Song Xiao, were slightly taken aback.
Immediately, the Immortal Emperor explained, " Ye Qiubai and his group infiltrated the enemy's rear and dealt a heavy blow to their rear!"
That's why the Evil Devil Domain withdrew its troops!
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
They infiltrated the enemy's base directly? How did they manage that?
Regardless of the method used, if that's truly the case, Ye Qiubai and his team deserve the greatest credit!
Looking at the cheers below.
The Evil Lord and the Devil God stared coldly at the three Immortal Ancestor who were pretending to be asleep with their eyes closed.
"That's quite a scheme," the Devil God said coldly. "I must say, the Mortal Realm has produced quite a few promising talents."
The leading Immortal Ancestor bowed slightly and said with a faint smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
The Evil Lord glanced at the Mortal Realm Immortal Realm who were cheering thunderously, then turned his gaze to the three Immortal Ancestor and sneered, "However, it seems you're celebrating a little too soon..."
The long-bearded Immortal Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled smugly, "Three successes are already something to be happy about."
"Hmph, I hope you can maintain this attitude."
Having said that, the Evil Lord and the Devil God vanished from their spot in an instant.
Looking in the direction the two had left, the three Immortal Ancestor exchanged glances, their expressions quite solemn.
If the opponent shows anger as they did after the previous two offensive failures, I might not think much of it.
But now the other party seems far too bland.
It seems... there are other plans?
