The Backup Plan Left Behind
"So, you are the backup plan that the black-robed man left for us in the Lower Realm?"
A man with black bull horns sat upright in the main seat, his posture suggesting that he was the master of the place.
Sitting opposite him, Qi Yaoji and her father merely watched this Devil Race who had suddenly barged into their Mara Gate with cold eyes, nodding indifferently when he asked questions.
The Devil Race clicked his tongue, seemingly quite displeased with Qi Yaoji and her father's reaction. "What can you do to help me?"
The Devil Race, also known as Feng Meng, is the only high-ranking Devil Race among this group that broke into the Immortal Spirit Realm, so he is currently the leader of this group of Devil Race.
Before they arrived, the man in black robes had already explained to them some of his arrangements in the Lower Realm, and also told them that someone would set up new Teleportation Array to help them travel from the Cloud Mulberry Realm to other small worlds and annex them.
Feng Meng possessed powerful Demonic Power, so he readily accepted the order to conquer other small worlds. He arrived very early and was almost among the first to pass through that passage.
He wasn't stupid. After learning from the man in black robes that there would be helpers in the Lower Realm, he rushed to find the so-called helpers as soon as he arrived in the Immortal Spirit Realm, Feng Meng ran into Qi Yaoji and the others.
Although Qi Yaoji disliked the Devil Race and loathed Feng Meng's arrogance and rudeness, he was still someone their master had arranged for them to come. The man in black robes had mentioned before that once the Devil Race arrived in the Lower Realm, they would do everything in their power to help them.
So even though Qi Yaoji was unwilling, she had no choice but to obediently agree.
Over the years, she has gradually replaced her father's authority in the Mara Gate, and now she is in charge of the sect.
So when Feng Meng asked, Qi Yaoji answered him with a cold voice, "We are not very clear about the strength of the Devil Race Clan, and you probably don't know that a few days ago, other sects in the Immortal Spirit Realm launched an attack against us. Now, the power of my Mara Gate is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, so we probably can't help you much. What information do you want to know? We can tell you."
Agreeing to help is one thing, but going all out to help is another.
Qi Yaoji had no intention of giving up everything in the sect to satisfy the appetites of these foreign tribes.
Feng Meng wasn't angry about this; he had long known that these Human Race were unreliable. "Fine, since you're so incompetent, then tell me first which forces in the Immortal Spirit Realm are the most feared."
The word "incompetent" made Qi Yaoji and her father's expressions turn ugly once again.
However, they didn't say much, but obediently told Feng Meng everything they knew, especially Ten Thousand Daos Born and the Jimo Household.
This was also a little scheme by Qi Yaoji; she wanted to use these Devil Race to weaken these two major forces!
To completely eliminate them, the current Devil Race alone is not enough. Qi Yaoji did not harbor such delusions; she only needed to weaken their strength so that once the Devil Race left, the Mara Gate could take the opportunity to regroup.
Feng Meng is Devil Race, and has been imprisoned in the Devil Domain for tens of thousands of years. They don't understand human intrigue, but after Qi Yaoji's reminder, they immediately identified their main target.
The Devil Race fears nothing more than powerful enemies!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, news of the Devil Race's invasion of the Immortal Spirit Realm spread far and wide. Along with this news, it was also reported that the Devil Race had entered the Mara Gate, seemingly indicating a connection with the Mara Gate.
Therefore, some sects had already united the Mara Gate and the Devil Race without even seeing a trace of the Devil Race.
Ten Thousand Daos Born and the others didn't have time to sort out these relationships. The sect leader had already guessed that something had changed in the Cloud Mulberry Realm Sang Realm from the previous incident with the Teleportation Array. Now, seeing the Devil Race appear, he immediately understood that these Devil Race probably came from the Cloud Mulberry Realm.
He had no time to worry about the current situation of his disciples who had run away. He was content just to see that the soul lamps they had placed in the sect were still burning.
The most important thing right now is to discuss with other sects and forces how to resist the Devil Race.
The first Ten Thousand Daos Born contacted was the Jimo Household. Because of the experience in the Black Tortoise Realm, Ten Thousand Daos Born's younger generation of disciples had a very harmonious relationship with the future successor of the Jimo Household, which also brought Ten Thousand Daos Born and the Jimo Household a little closer.
Both sides' leaders are rational and resolute individuals. Earlier, when the Mara Gate suddenly caused trouble, it was only through the combined efforts of both sides that they were able to suppress it.
So as soon as news of the Devil Race spread, the sect leader immediately contacted the head of the Jimo Household.
The two didn't say much, but simply exchanged the information they had gathered.
In recent years, the number of Teleportation Array has increased, and Ten Thousand Daos Born and the Jimo Household have also intended to send people to other small worlds.
Now that news of the Devil Race invasion has spread, both the sect leader and the head of the Jimo Household have contacted the people they had assigned to other places, and have quickly learned that Devil Race have also appeared in other small worlds.
The two compared the information they had received and immediately confirmed many details. "It seems these Devil Race have a strange origin."
Even though the head of the Jimo Household hadn't yet engaged in battle with the Devil Race, judging from the information gathered from other small worlds, this batch of Devil Race that had suddenly invaded were far more powerful than the previous Devil Race.
Moreover, news came from the Flowing Light Sword Sect in the Twin Orchid Realm that cultivators who fought against these Devil Race would be corrupted by Demonic Qi!
Such domineering Demonic Qi could never be cultivated in the Lower Realm.
After a moment's thought, the two leaders recalled the legendary High Antiquity Devil Race, which was said to have corrupted even the God Race.
The head of the Jimo Household said with a cold and stern face, "So it seems that those who have joined forces with this group of Devil Race are the people behind the Mara Gate."
Qi Yaoji and her father were clever, but they weren't stupid either.
When the Qi Household's power suddenly rose, many people in the Immortal Spirit Realm wanted to find out who was supporting them. At that time, they didn't find any clues, but now their true colors have been revealed.
The sect leader clenched his fist. "No matter who's behind them, these shameless traitors who betray their own kind and want to destroy the Cultivation World cannot be allowed to live!"
They initially thought the Mara Gate simply wanted to seize the Immortal Spirit Realm and gain more benefits for themselves. But now it seems that these people are practically begging a tiger for its skin, trying to drag the entire Cultivation World into a quagmire!
This is something they would never agree to.
Most people were unaware of this secret meeting. The day after the sect leader and the head of the Jimo Household parted ways, the Devil Race army officially began its attack on the Immortal Spirit Realm.
Meanwhile, Sang Ying was holding the Dragon Abyss Sword, which seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, awaiting the tribulation that belonged to the divine sword!
