"Roar!!"
The incessant roars of beasts drew out a vast expanse of dark clouds.
Below the dark clouds were densely packed herds of beasts of various shapes and sizes.
Their rampage across the entire Western Continent has made the million Demon Beast even more bloodthirsty and frenzied.
The mysterious, Yao Qi coalesced into boundless clouds beneath the sky.
"Big brother! We've reached the Demon Manor soon."
"We're home!"
The Evil Tiger's excited roar echoed beside the Baleful Intent Tiger.
Looking at the familiar mountains and landscapes in the distance, it and all the other Demon Beast were filled with excitement.
It really is their stronghold.
Even the Demon Beast felt a strong urge to return to their nests.
In this Prefecture-Breaking War, nearly half of the millions of Demon Beast perished.
A million Demon Beast perished in that catastrophe.
Now that they're returning to their lair, how can the demons possibly contain themselves?
"I'm finally back!"
"On this trip, my eldest brother broke through to the Spirit Transformation, and my two brothers and I have also acquired hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast servants, with even a Nascent Soul."
"The amount of money, grain, and supplies they plundered was countless; they returned with a full load."
"It's a pity that we don't know the last edict left by the Lord, which states that whoever kills Lu Li will become the new Lord of the Prefecture. Who exactly is this Lu Li?"
Slaughter Tiger then spoke up.
There was a hint of regret in his voice.
When the demons passed through Imprisoned Dragon Mountain, they all sensed the lingering resentment left by Ao Qing.
The demons all yearned for the prospect of whoever would slay Lu Li becoming the new lord of the manor.
But no one knew who Lu Li was.
But they also knew that it could appear in the Lord's last oral instructions.
Lu Li is not someone to be trifled with.
"Don't overthink it. The Lord's demise was suspicious to begin with."
"In battles of that level, the difference in our cultivation levels is too great; we can't even discern the inner workings."
" Lu Li is far beyond our ability to defeat; being able to return home would be a blessing."
"Once we return and reorganize our clan, ensuring a peaceful cultivation period of a thousand years, you two, second and third sons, may very well have the opportunity to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm."
"Once the three of us brothers reach the Spirit Transformation, we will naturally be in charge of this Demon Manor."
The Baleful Intent Tiger was clear-headed and had no wild thoughts.
Their plans are practical and simple.
The lords of Dongting in the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture mostly acted alone.
Few brothers work together as well as these three.
The alliance of three Spirit Transformation is enough to shake the power of the Demon Manor.
Further integration, courting, coercion, and enticement.
At most a thousand years, this Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture will have to be renamed the Three Tigers Demon Manor.
They can certainly replicate the glory of the Lord.
Thinking of this, Baleful Intent Tiger suppressed his excitement.
We stepped over the ruins of the dilapidated city walls.
This is the former site of the three major passes, now reduced to ruins, barely reaching the knees of an ordinary person.
"Boom!"
They crossed the wall and stepped into the Demon Manor's realm.
A sudden clap of thunder erupted in the sky.
The excited Baleful Intent Tiger was slightly taken aback.
I felt inexplicably uneasy.
It was as if this Demon Manor, had now become a death trap for monsters.
I felt a little uneasy.
"Strange, why do I feel this way coming home?"
"Could this be what human cultivators often refer to as... the fear of returning home?"
After smacking his lips, Baleful Intent Tiger led his two brothers and the clan's slave cultivators deep into the Demon Manor.
They didn't notice at all.
In the distant sky, a perfectly round Law Artifact with a metal frame floated and rotated slightly.
The thunderous sound just now seemed to have activated the Law Artifact's array.
A long-range camera slowly extends and retracts.
The footage of the demon horde entering the country was captured clearly.
"Master, the Demon Beast have entered my Litian Prefecture territory."
"Should we obstruct them? Mobilize the soldiers in the command center."
Amidst the vast mountains.
With his stylish short hair and black armor, Dong Qing stared expressionlessly at the dark clouds slowly moving across the horizon.
Behind him, a Golden Core warrior stood respectfully.
There was absolutely no disrespect shown towards Dong Qing because of her female identity.
When reporting to subordinates.
Dong Qing did not speak.
He reached into his robes and pulled out a Jade Slip.
Tap it gently.
A Divine Sense message appeared, signed 'Master'.
Looking at the Divine Sense information on the Jade Slip, Dong Qing's originally icy expression softened slightly.
He couldn't resist gently touching the Jade Slip.
She had already relayed the news of the Demon Beast ' passage back to Dao Court Prefecture.
Lu Li also gave a response to this.
Dong Qing, who was initially nervous in the face of a million-strong demon army, calmed down completely after receiving a reply from his master.
A heart of unwavering resolve.
"No need. My master will arrive soon. Keep a close watch on the Demon Lord's movements."
"Simply ensure the evacuation of ordinary citizens."
Taking a deep breath, Dong Qing tucked the Jade Slip slip back into his bosom.
The tone wasn't overly cold.
After confirming that he had become Lu Li's disciple, Dong Qing's tone would involuntarily soften whenever he mentioned the word "master".
Thinking of that figure in the green robe, she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Yes, Master!"
Upon receiving the order, the Golden Core warriors behind him dared not delay.
His figure flew away in an instant.
Go and allocate manpower.
The Army Suppression Division is the largest and most powerful military command in the Litian Dao Court.
Its power is extraordinary.
After the Dao Court reformed its system, 70% of the cultivators were assigned to the Army Suppression Division.
The total number of warriors reached a terrifying eight thousand.
It should be noted that most of these 8,000 people were veterans of countless battles.
Most of them were originally disciples of the Dao Academy, with few having transferred from the original Cultivator Employment Hall.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that its combat strength and purity make it the top department in the Dao Court.
The eight thousand warriors were divided into two divisions, left and right.
Each division is commanded by a deputy division chief, and each division has four thousand men.
The left and right offices each have four major battalions, each with a thousand soldiers.
It was headed by a Commander-in-Chief, whose status was Dao Court.
The camp was further divided into two banners, each with five hundred men.
The flag bearer was called the chief flag bearer, and his status was Dao Court official.
Further down, each banner is divided into five teams, with the commander called the team leader, who leads a hundred men and holds a position equivalent to that of a senior disciple.
Below the squad leader, the lowest level is the "Squad," and the supervisor is the squad leader, who commands ten people. Their status is similar to that of a mid-level disciple.
In general, the Dao Academy system was clear and well-defined.
It's not about deliberately dividing and organizing disciples, but about maximizing the power of the group.
Only by dividing into hierarchical levels and maintaining a balance between them can we maximize our potential.
In addition to having ample manpower, the reorganized Army Suppression Division also possesses top-tier Spirit Machinery Law Artifact.
" The Army Suppression Right Division has been moved to the rear, all civilians have been cleared out, and the four major battalions have all dispersed to eliminate the spies and eyes of the demonic Demon Beast."
"The Left Division closely monitors the movements of the demon army, ensuring real-time communication."
"Attention! All battalions must use their Spirit Machinery Law Artifact with extreme caution and never reveal their location."
" The Dao Lord... may visit at any time!"
The strict orders were relayed to the left and right offices.
Eight battalions moved in unison, with nearly 10,000 troops working in perfect coordination.
The cultivators were unaware of their master's specific intentions.
But everyone has their own mission and task.
Years of fighting and cooperation have made the soldiers tacitly in sync.
Especially after they heard the words " the Dao Lord may personally arrive at any time".
The cultivators were extremely excited.
Everyone perked up and worked diligently without the slightest slackening.
The eight thousand people were like eight thousand surveillance points, forming a network that stretched across the vast borders of the Demon Manor.
Sudden!
A horrified voice resounded in the ears of all the cultivators of the Army Suppression Division.
"Oh no! Our unit has accidentally come into contact with Spirit Transformation Demon Beast!"
