P. S.: A long chapter of 4,000 words!
"Yes, Lord Duanhun."
Invincible, standing beside the Elder Duanhun, heard Duanhun's words and his eyes were filled with joy. He hadn't expected that not only were eight Sage lurking within Duanhun City, but a grand formation had also been prepared.
The most powerful demon emperor, Hu Qingyun, had already been tricked.
All the Sage were extremely satisfied; coming here was practically a way of giving credit.
However, before these people could even see the person off, the Elder Duanhun frowned slightly and said calmly, "How about this, you all stay and guard Duanhun City. Demon Emperor Hu Qingyun, you will personally escort her to the capital. It wouldn't be good if we were ambushed on the way to the capital."
Upon hearing the words of the Elder Duanhun, everyone immediately accepted the order. The Elder Duanhun was the strongest, and this was certainly not the time to compete for credit. Moreover, competing with the Elder Duanhun for credit was no different from suicide, so these Sage immediately agreed.
"Rest assured, Lord Duanhun, with us here, the Star Demon and rebels will not be able to cross Duanhun City. As for whether to exterminate these people, please consult His Human Emperor Duanhun." A Sage thought for a moment, then immediately bowed and said.
"Don't worry, I know. I will definitely speak to His Human Emperor." The Elder Duanhun smiled, and the Broken Elder Duanhun Soul-Severing Sword transformed into a giant sword. The Elder Duanhun, carrying the imprisoned Demon Emperor Hu Qingyun, stepped onto the giant sword and rode away.
A hundred miles Duanhun City, the Slaughter Demon Sage and his group returned, their faces extremely grim.
" Slaughter Demon Sage, what should we do now?"
"Damn it, the Demon Emperor was actually sabotaged by the Human Emperor Su Tianlong! Now that the Demon Emperor has been captured, if we can't rescue him, our Star Demon lineage will become a laughingstock."
"We, the Star Demon Clan, are not a joke!"
A demon saint, with an icy and chilling gaze, fell upon the Slaughter Demon Sage.
"Excellent, Slaughter Demon Sage! Our Human Race's powerful warriors are at your command."
Su Yun also spoke in an icy tone.
Everyone understood that the alliance had become somewhat fragile after losing Hu Qingyun. If the alliance collapsed, both Su Yun and the others, as well as the Star Demon lineage, would be in danger of death.
Damn it!
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor has been outmaneuvered."
The Slaughter Demon Sage also had an extremely ugly expression at this moment.
······
In the void, Su Xiuyi, who had rushed all the way, entered the army.
Su Xiuyi strolled through the vast army, but no one saw Su Xiuyi; it was as if Su Xiuyi had become invisible.
Su Xiuyi arrived at the central command tent, looked at the grim faces of the crowd, and shook her head.
"As expected, the divination was correct; Hu Qingyun really was tricked and captured."
Su Xiuyi muttered to herself.
Su Xiuyi came here simply to catch a glimpse of Su Yun.
Su Xiuyi also wanted to know whether the person Hu Qingyun admired truly deserved to Human Emperor.
Su Xiuyi is Human Race and will never tolerate the Demon Di Yi the world. Within the Human Realm, the Human Race must still be in charge.
Su Xiuyi entered the central command tent, glanced at everyone, and her gaze fell on a middle-aged Human Race. This man was imposing and dignified. With the Demon Emperor Hu Qingyun captured and the alliance losing its strongest fighting force, the alliance had suffered a tremendous blow and was very likely to split apart.
At this moment, the faces of those demon saints were extremely gloomy. These great demons had lost their usual composure after suffering a defeat in battle.
The Slaughter Demon Sage felt all eyes on him, and his face turned extremely ugly.
He said coldly, "Now that the Demon Emperor has been tricked and fallen into their hands, we have lost our strongest fighting force. Furthermore, Duanhun City is protected by a powerful formation, where eight Sage reside. We cannot possibly defeat them. Our best course of action now is to return to the Demon God Mountain Range. Otherwise, if Su Tianlong orders an attack, we will surely be routed."
As soon as the Slaughter Demon Sage finished speaking, Su Yun's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, " The Slaughter Demon Sage's suggestion is inappropriate. Very inappropriate. Once our alliance falls apart, our strength will be greatly weakened. Neither we nor your Star Demon lineage will be able to withstand Su Tianlong's onslaught. Therefore, our best course of action now is not to retreat, but to attack."
"The fact that the Demon Emperor was captured instead of killed means that the other side must have a plan. Perhaps Su Tianlong will have the Elder Duanhun take the Demon Emperor to the capital. I have already arranged scouts. Once the Demon Emperor is indeed taken to the capital, we can feign an attack and send our high-end forces to bypass Duanhun City and head towards the capital to rescue the Demon Emperor," Su Yun said calmly.
"This······"
The two Human Race Sage ' eyes lit up, and the Demon Race Great Sage's eyes also flashed with a sharp light, but they awaited the decision to Slaughter Demon Sage.
Because now, the Slaughter Demon Sage is the strongest and the backbone of the Demon Race.
Sensing everyone's gaze, the Slaughter Demon Sage's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"I'm sorry, but our Star Demon lineage needs to conserve our strength. If we are ambushed again and suffer losses, the Blood Demon lineage will annihilate us. So let's leave it at that. Things are beyond our control. We'll take our leave!" The Slaughter Demon Sage quickly made his decision and left with the great demons of the Star Demon Clan.
" King of the South, what should we do?!"
Seeing the Slaughter Demon Sage and others leave, and the alliance collapse, the two Sage of the Human Race had a slight change in expression.
Based on their strength alone, they are absolutely no match for Su Tianlong; it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
At this moment, they were completely at a disadvantage, but Su Xiuyi realized that Su Yun was indeed capable, as Hu Qingyun had praised. Putting aside everything else, his ability to remain calm even now was extremely rare.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Su Yun took a deep breath and said, " The Demon Race is indeed unreliable."
"This campaign against Su Tianlong is not a spur-of-the-moment decision. As everyone knows, Su Tianlong often goes into seclusion. According to some information, Su Tianlong may no longer be Human Race. This is the Human Realm, inhabited by hundreds of millions of Human Race, and we must protect it. Therefore, even now, my suggestion remains the same: bypass Broken Duanhun City, rescue the Demon Emperor along the way, penetrate deep into the Imperial Capital, rescue the imprisoned Sage, and join forces to fight against Su Tianlong."
"Some people feigned a retreat to lull the enemy into a false sense of security and buy us an opportunity."
Hearing Su Yun's words, everyone was shocked, but their eyes were filled with determination.
Clearly, they agreed with Su Yun's words.
"We obey the King of the South!"
Under Su Xiuyi's watchful gaze, Su Xiuyi realized that Su Yun was incredibly powerful; even the two Human Race Sage were now bowing to him.
Clearly, Su Yun is not a puppet.
"This person is quite good!"
"It is rare to find someone who cares about his people. With Su Tianlong dead, if the Human Realm does not have a ruler who can control the overall situation, it will be a disaster for the Human Realm."
As for herself, Su Xiuyi completely ignored it.
As the Human Emperor, Su Xiuyi had to deal with government affairs, which was very troublesome. All she wanted to do was sign in and cultivate.
In this world of cultivation, Su Xiuyi cares more about strength.
Only the strongest can control everything.
Therefore, at this moment, Su Xiuyi made a decision to help Su Yun ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor.
"Slow!"
Just as everyone was about to take action, a voice rang out from inside the tent; it was Su Xiuyi who spoke.
"Who?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, everyone present changed color in shock.
There were two Sage here, yet no one noticed the presence of anyone else, which filled everyone with fear.
"No need to worry, I am not the enemy. If I wanted to kill you, do you think you would still be alive today?"
" Su Yun is right. The Demon Race can never be relied upon. The Human Realm must be ruled by Human Race. Those Non-Self race will surely have different hearts."
"An individual does not represent all. The Demon Emperor is a good demon, but that doesn't mean all the other Star Demon are good demons."
"Now, there's no need to retreat. Lead the army directly to Broken Duanhun City."
"I'll take care of everything!"
Su Xiuyi said calmly.
"I wonder which senior you are? Please show yourself." Su Yun frowned slightly and immediately bowed.
" Su Yun, since I'm not showing myself, I have my reasons. You have three breaths to decide whether to believe me or not. The decision is yours." Su Xiuyi didn't show herself, leaving the decision to Su Yun. Su Xiuyi wanted to see if Su Yun had the courage.
Before a breath had passed, Su Yun immediately said, "We are willing to send troops to Duanhun City, and we beg your assistance, senior."
As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, he bowed to the void.
At that moment, Su Xiuyi also appeared.
Dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, he said nothing more than, "Of course, let's set off then, time is running out."
Su Xiuyi stepped forward first.
Seeing that Su Xiuyi had already taken action, Su Yun exchanged a glance with the two Saint Realm and immediately followed Su Xiuyi. The rest of the people went out to lead the army to Duanhun City.
"Senior, there are currently eight Saint Realm in Duanhun City, and also a large formation. How can we break through the city?"
Su Yun followed beside Su Xiuyi, speaking respectfully.
Are eight Saint Realm very strong?
At this moment, Su Xiuyi couldn't help but look at Su Yun.
"This······"
Stared at by Su Xiuyi, Su Yun couldn't utter a single word.
Initially, upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Su Yun felt that Su Xiuyi was somewhat unreliable, but the moment Su Xiuyi eyes met, Su Yun was terrified.
He saw disdain in Su Xiuyi's eyes, but there was no arrogance in her gaze, which greatly alarmed Su Yun.
It was as if Su Xiuyi was Heavenly God, looking down upon the human world.
"Senior, shouldn't we be more careful?"
Su Yun remained silent for a moment, but finally spoke up and expressed his opinion.
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, Su Xiuyi did not get angry. Instead, a smile appeared on her lips as she said to Su Yun, "You are quite good. You possess the majesty of an emperor, and even under my pressure, you still dare to speak your mind."
"Do you think a divine dragon in the heavens would bother with a few crawling snakes on the ground?" Su Xiuyi stared at Su Yun and asked again.
"No, in the eyes of the dragon, a snake is nothing." Su Yun gave an affirmative answer.
Upon hearing Su Yun's reply, Su Xiuyi smiled.
"These mere eight Saint Realm are like crawling snakes in my eyes."
"Insects, do I need to even notice them?" Su Xiuyi said indifferently.
Su Xiuyi's voice remained as confident as ever.
The two Saint Realm behind her remained silent throughout, as they had been overwhelmed by the aura surrounding Su Xiuyi as they approached Su Xiuyi.
They were from the Saint Realm, unlike Su Yun. They sensed the terror of Su Xiuyi, even though Su Xiuyi did not reveal her aura.
Soon, the Duanhun City reappeared.
Behind Su Xiuyi, Su Yun and the two Saint Realm were all somewhat uneasy, after all, they had just fled from here not long ago.
" Su Yun, are you still Undying?"
"Where is the Demon Saint of the Demon Race?"
"Your alliance won't collapse, will it?"
"As a member of the royal family, to collude with the Demon Race race in treason deserves to be executed."
"Today, I, the Holy One, will slay you."
A Saint Realm expert stared at Su Yun, surveying the area with his willpower. Finding no Saint Realm among the Demon Race race, he was overjoyed and burst out of Duanhun City, his face filled with urgency.
In his eyes, Su Yun was a great contributor.
If Su Yun is captured, Su Tianlong will surely reward him handsomely.
Therefore, I was incredibly moved.
"Senior?"
Su Yun's gaze fell on Su Xiuyi.
"Let's go, why bother with all that?"
"You ants!"
Su Xiuyi's steps remained unchanged, taking one step at a time in the void.
Looking at Su Xiuyi's calm demeanor, Su Yun felt a mix of unease and delight.
The two Saint Realm experts immediately went on high alert.
Kneel down!
Before the figure even arrived, it conjured a gigantic palm that blotted out the sky. On its palm was a Spirit Character, making it even more indestructible.
This giant hand contains a power that seems capable of moving mountains and filling seas.
The Sage's lips curled into a smug smile, one hand clasped behind his back, as if everything was under his control.
"Roll!"
However, before this colossal hand that blotted out the sky and seemed capable of supporting an ancient Imperial City with a single hand, Su Xiuyi appeared incredibly frail, yet her lips curled into a look of disdain.
His steps remained perfectly steady; he merely let out a cold snort.
However, the moment Su Xiuyi uttered the word "get lost," a horrifying scene unfolded.
The enormous hand that was about to bury the four of them instantly developed cracks and vanished into nothingness before their eyes.
"Pfft!"
With one hand behind his back, the Saint Realm of Duanhun City was filled with terror in his eyes. His previous move seemed extremely casual, but only he knew that this Heaven -Heaven-Shrouding Demon Hand was one of his strongest attacks, and he had no intention of holding back at all.
However, he was severely injured by Su Xiuyi's mere cold snort.
His chest felt as if it had been struck by a mountain; the surging blood within him was impossible to suppress, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
In that instant, he no longer dared to covet Su Yun or try to curry favor with Su Tianlong; at that moment, he felt the threat of death.
He was Saint Realm, and moreover, he was at the third level of the Saint Realm, the Essence Astral Realm, which was the source of his arrogant confidence.
But at this moment, in front of Su Xiuyi, he felt as small as an ant, while Su Xiuyi was a towering mountain.
In his eyes, Su Xiuyi, who was in the distance, was an invincible Grim Reaper.
In that instant, he had no time to guess Su Xiuyi's identity or origin. His eyes were filled with terror, and his only thought was to get as far away from Su Xiuyi as possible.
His figure was about to be forced back.
The six Saint Realm in Duanhun City were filled with disbelief upon witnessing this scene, feeling as if they were dreaming.
The person who made the move was at the third level of the Saint Realm. When did such a being become so easily defeated?
