Ancient Battlefield, stronghold of the Evil Devil Domain.
Xin Hongyi led the Devious Arts Imperial Guard back to this place.
Inside the hastily constructed black hall, Xin Hongyi knelt with her head bowed.
Before anyone knew it, the Devil God suddenly sat on the throne above.
"How is that person you mentioned?"
Xin Hongyi, still keeping her head down, said, " Devil God Majesty, we are now certain that the Devil Master of the Demon King Domain basically matches the aura and Devil God abilities you described."
Upon hearing this, the Devil God slightly opened his eyes, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Stand up and speak."
Upon hearing this, Xin Hongyi stood up, but still slightly bent over, and described in detail the state Xiao Hei had displayed in the previous battle. At the same time, she took out a jade pendant, and the scene projected from the jade pendant could even be felt, and one could even sense the aura emanating from the battlefield at that time!
Upon seeing this, the Devil God abruptly stood up, his originally cold and stern face showing slight excitement. "Did you bring him?"
Xin Hongyi shook her head.
Seeing this, the Devil God god frowned, and an irresistible demonic power was released, pressing Xin Hongyi down and forcing her to kneel with her head down once more.
"Give me a reason."
Xin Hongyi said with difficulty, " Nine Nether... the Underworld."
The Nine Nether Underworld? The Devil God was taken aback.
"He is the heir of the Nine Nether Underworld, and he was taken away by a powerful figure from the Nine Nether Underworld. We are no match for them at all."
Hearing this, the Devil God slowly withdrew the aura he had been releasing. "If it were the Nine Nether Underworld, it would be normal that you were no match for them."
"Then... what kind of power is the Nine Nether Underworld?"
The Devil God glanced at Xin Hongyi indifferently and said, "You don't need to know."
"So what should we do now?" Xin Hongyi asked.
The Devil God said calmly, " The Nine Nether Underworld will not participate in the power struggles of the outside world, so there's no need to worry about that. We just need to continue eroding the forces in the Mortal Realm at the current pace."
"By then, he should be able to see clearly whether he chooses to return to our Demon Realm ( the Evil Devil Domain is a combination of the Evil Realm and the Demon Realm ) or remain in the Mortal Realm, a place destined for destruction, to fend for itself."
Upon hearing the Devil God's words, Xin Hongyi was also startled.
Just who is Xiao Hei that the Devil God so highly?
However, Xin Hongyi wouldn't concern herself with the above; she only needed to follow orders.
Thinking this, Xin Hongyi cupped her hands in a respectful gesture and said, "This subordinate understands."
At this moment, the Mortal Realm seems to be trapped in a vicious cycle.
Our current strength is insufficient. If we remain here to defend against the attack of the Evil Devil Domain, the number of forces that are gradually being devoured and rebelling in the rear will only increase! At that point, we will collapse without a fight.
If resources are diverted to investigate and eliminate the forces that have already defected, it will inevitably require a large number of people. At that time, the Evil Devil Domain will take this opportunity to attack the city. We can only fight back with our lives, and the city walls will surely be breached.
This has caused great distress to the higher-ups in both the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm.
In fact, many people already know about this, and panic is spreading within the military ranks!
Doing nothing is also a form of slow death!
Inside the camp.
The Immortal Emperor gathered various high-level leaders, including Immortal Emperor Realm Immortal Realm, sect leaders of major first-class forces, and Divine Lord- level forces from the Mortal Realm.
Ye Qiubai and the others were naturally present as well.
"Everyone, tell me, is there any solution?" The Immortal Emperor's expression was solemn as he swept his gaze across the crowd below.
However, no one uttered a sound.
Finally, it was the Valley Master of Fen Yan Valley who broke the silence, saying with a wry smile, " Your Immortal Emperor, there really isn't a good solution in this situation."
Someone took the lead in speaking out.
The Divine Lord Hao Tian sighed helplessly, "The difference in strength is simply too great. No matter what choice we make, we have to give up one side."
Hearing what the two said, everyone nodded in agreement.
The Immortal Emperor looked at the gentleman and asked, "Where is the gentleman?"
The man shook his head.
Upon seeing this, everyone fell into silence.
At this moment, Hong Ying suddenly stepped forward and said, "Perhaps we can try a different approach."
How about a different approach?
All the high-ranking experts turned to look at Hong Ying.
Hong Ying walked up to the huge sand table and said calmly, "All of you seniors are caught in a dead end: how to resolve the conflict between the front and the rear, and how to preserve both as much as possible. But you should all have realized that preserving both is impossible."
Everyone fell silent.
The silence wasn't because Hong Ying was wrong; it was precisely because she was so right.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Hong Ying chuckled and said, "Perhaps you seniors are too caught up in the situation to realize this, so you haven't thought it through. But what if we think about it from a different perspective, stepping out of the idea of protecting both sides and abandoning the front lines?"
Abandon the front lines?!
Upon hearing Hong Ying's words, everyone's expressions changed in surprise, even the Immortal Emperor and the Master couldn't help but glance at Hong Ying.
The Immortal Emperor looked at Hong Ying with a serious expression and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"Continuing to passively defend will only lead to our eventual demise at the hands of their overwhelming numbers, barring a miracle." Hong Ying continued smoothly without pause, "Therefore, it's better to break up our forces, abandon the front lines, and retreat to the rear."
"By allowing the enemy to enter the Mortal Realm, while we return to our familiar territory to fight, and through guerrilla warfare in various ways, we can intercept the army of the Evil Devil Domain. This will inevitably minimize our losses while maximizing the losses of the enemy."
Throughout history, those who besiege cities have always needed to expend more resources.
The Mortal Realm is so vast that retreating to the rear and avoiding its sharp edge is an easy task.
"In that case, we can also investigate and deal with the forces that are bewitching the Mortal Realm."
The man frowned slightly and said, "But if that's the case, the Evil Devil Domain will invade the Mortal Realm at an even faster pace."
"That's only a temporary occupation," Hong Ying said to her teacher. "Once we retreat to the rear, we don't need to hold onto any single point, but the enemy needs to send people to guard every star field they occupy. That's our biggest advantage."
Upon hearing this, the gentleman fell silent.
Seeing the somewhat shocked or thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Hong Ying smiled and said, "Although the invasion of the Evil Devil Domain might cause heavy losses to the territory of a certain force, it is still much better than the Evil Devil Domain completely annihilating the Mortal Realm."
"Once the Evil Devil Domain is eliminated, everything will simply start over."
Simply put, when gathered together, it's a pile of dung; when scattered, it's a sky full of stars.
Upon hearing this...
The Divine Lord Hao Tian laughed loudly first, "I think that makes sense!"
The Primordial Sword Master nodded slightly. "It's worth a try."
The Valley Master of Fen Yan Valley also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the Immortal Emperor raised his head and smiled, "As expected of that person's disciple, everyone, do you all agree with this method?"
Everyone nodded!
