Yun Hongce unfolded a map, with the divisions of the various forces marked by color on it. The blank space below marked the five overlords located in the southeast, northwest, and the northern Xinjiang who were ambitious and wanted to annex Kyushu.
The eight state pastors with a certain strength ended up with one sword, three evil spirits, one palace, one palace and five strange gates.
And some of the names have been marked with a red cross.
"I've heard a lot of interesting news from visitors from outside the world recently. Combined with the intelligence sent back by the night department in a timely manner, it seems that this so-called fierce battle between heroes is not that simple."
One of the six divisions of the Red Demon Kingdom, the Night Division, is responsible for intelligence. Its military leader, Chi Yan Ming, may seem tall and domineering, but he is actually as careful as a hair.
But even so, his thinking could not keep up with the young strategist who established order in chaos and could use the power of the Red Emperor to quell the thousand-year melee in the Far West Demonic Realm.
For the demon clan, what they rely on for worship is absolute power, and Yun Hongce's strength is not considered top-notch, not as good as the Red Emperor, weaker than the Four Heavenly Kings under his command, and only comparable to the master of the six armies.
But even so, the most unruly one among the Four Heavenly Kings was like an obedient sheep when facing Yun Hongce.
Because the existence of Yun Hongce has redefined that extraordinary wisdom is, to a certain extent, more terrifying than tyrannical power.
So when he heard that Yun Hongce wanted to change his early arrangement strategy and began to frown rarely, Chi Yanming's heart also lifted.
"Xiao Ming, what do you think the current situation of the human race is like?"
"What's going on... Just like the Far West Demonic Territory that was in chaos before, each force just wants to occupy a larger territory and enjoy a lot of resources, so they launch a war. It's also for this reason that they have no time.
Worry about my demon clan joining the world.
Moreover, during this period of confrontation, it can be found that when faced with the Red Demons who are like killing weapons, the human race does not dare to challenge them head-on. They seem to be frightened by their brutal and bloody side."
"Are you scared?" Yun Hongce chuckled, and subconsciously touched the small silver horn on the right side of his forehead with his fingers again, which is the symbol of the orthodox demon clan.
After being isolated to the Demonic Realm of the Far West, the demons survived due to their abundant demonic energy, and gradually went crazy because of the violent aura within them that affected their minds.
However, through the wisdom and improvement of generations of demons, a breathing method has been created that can integrate the demonic energy into the blood, strengthen the body, and prevent emotional control.
The success rate of this breathing method is not 100%, and there is a certain probability that it will lead to the failure route of the Red Demon Clan. However, as long as it is successful, a pair of horns will grow on both sides of the forehead through the tempering of blood.
The longer this horn is, the higher the purity of the bloodline belonging to the demon clan. At the same time, this is another way for the demon clan to identify whether it is powerful or not.
And these are completely unknown to the Golden Demon Tribe, which has been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the Demon Sect founded by Zhi Shan.
Because the Golden Demon Tribe suppresses and eliminates the negative effects of demonic energy through Buddhism, and can switch its own state by turning from demon to Buddha or from Buddha to demon to fight against the enemy.
The opposition between the two was not only ideological, but also decided after they took different branches on the road to strengthening themselves.
However, these are not the issues that Yun Hongce is currently considering. A few days ago, under his secret guidance, after the Red Emperor and Zhishan met, he had confirmed that the so-called Demon Sect, the Golden Demon Clan, was subject to
The poison of Buddhist thought is too deep.
The reason for the existence of the Demon Suppression Tower is that Fotu laid a fuse in order to destroy demons with demons. This time, it was detonated in advance. Although it did not achieve the effect that Fotu expected, it also allowed them to successfully split the demon clan from within.
These Golden Demons do not know the pain and misery of being driven out of the land of Kyushu and having to struggle to survive in the impoverished Far West Demon Territory.
If he hadn't been concerned that the situation in Jiuzhou was too weird, Yun Hongce would have summoned the real demon army and bulldozed the idiots who only shouted love and peace.
The reason why Demon Sect is allowed to exist now is to share the pressure on him to a certain extent and give him the opportunity to learn more about this strange land of Kyushu.
But as time passed bit by bit, countless questions emerged from Yun Hongce's heart.
At this moment, Chi Yan Ming was looking at Yun Hongce in confusion. Ever since the other party chuckled, his eyes had been staring at the crossed names of forces at the bottom of the map.
Zi Nong Xie Clan, Zhu Dao Hall, Tian Jian Sect, Underworld Corpse Sect, Ten Thousand Poison Palace, Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, and several dead state shepherds.
"Master Military Advisor, what are you thinking about?"
"What are you thinking about... I just feel that after the great battle on the top of the Sword Mountain, what visitors from outside the world call it, a world of great conflict has begun. The competition and melee between the various forces are a bit too restrained.
.”
"Restraint? After destroying so many forces, is it still considered restraint?"
"Among these forces, except for the Zi Nong Xie family and the Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion of unknown origin, the other forces will probably be over even if they are not in this troubled world for another one or two hundred years.
From beginning to end, the real key lies in these five overlords."
Yun Hongce pointed to the southeast, northwest, and middle positions on the map, then frowned slightly and said:
"The Wangyou Ghost City in the south has a huge problem. Since its establishment, its overall strength has skyrocketed too fast, and the forces that have been destroyed are more or less related to it.
Although this is in line with the momentum displayed by an emerging power, it is also trying its best to avoid facing the real giants.
The other four overlords have been in a state of multi-party melee since the beginning of the Great Controversy.
It is true that many people died during this period, but if you really count it, it did not reach the point of breaking your muscles and bones. It was even more like a major military training.
The power of the eight armies in the north has not been destroyed, and the six legions in the middle are also at full strength. Although the Buddhist soldiers in the west and the Tao soldiers in the east are slightly damaged, judging from the overall combat strength, they are still intact.
There has been a certain degree of improvement.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Logically speaking, after the beginning of troubled times, the most important thing to do is to seize the opportunity, such as the combat style of Wangyou Ghost City.
But the other four parties have become more and more restrained in fighting, including King Wuwei, who is the nominal leader of the rebels. After pushing the northern Xinjiang out, he seems to be sticking to his homeland."
"Master Military Advisor, according to the news we just received, it seems that King Wuwei has..."
"This is something wrong again. He gave up the geographical advantages of his base camp and ran to the south. Even if the intelligence said that he had broken through to the Dharma Realm, he should also know the reason why ants kill elephants.
Besides, they were not a group of ants, but wolves.
So I don't understand why he had to put himself in danger.
In addition, the timing of the breaking of the barrier that has been locking the Far West Demonic Territory is too coincidental. There is some apparent cooperation between this Buddhist land and Prince Wuwei's palace. We were released at this critical point to hold back one of King Wuwei's reinforcements.
In other words, we have become tools to be exploited without even realizing it.
Just to kill King Wuwei, he released all our demons. This... always feels like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away the watermelon.
Doesn't that person know that my demon clan is trapped in the desolate land in the west by those big bald heads, and that for thousands of years, we have accumulated countless anger that we are eager to vent?
Just to kill one person, it is so unwise to make a decision that can be said to betray the entire human race."
At this moment, Yun Hongce assumed his identity as the mastermind behind the release of the demons, which made him even more confused about the other party's purpose.
After the exchange between Chihuang and Zhishan, he knew that Zhishan would never be the one taking the lead in this matter, because he still had some naivety in his heart. This naivety destined him to be very naive when faced with important decisions.
hesitate.
Hesitating to the point of misjudging the opportunity leads to retreating again and again.
Faintly, Yun Hongce felt that he was missing one of the most important pieces of information.
It's like a missing key piece in a puzzle. If it can't be put together, all he can see is an incomplete picture.
"Master Military Advisor, what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that our demon tribe will unknowingly be destroyed due to the lack of key information."
"This... just based on the human race? You must know that when the Daxuan Dynasty was first established, they only dared to expel us from Kyushu."
"So you think the worst outcome for us is to return to the Far West Demonic Territory in despair?"
Chi Yanming said nothing because he had never seen Yun Hongce look so serious.
"Xiao Ming, it is too difficult to find out the true secrets of Kyushu with only the information channels of the members of the Night Club who have just dispersed and the visitors from outside the world, so we need to find a partner in the shortest possible time."
"The shortest time?"
"Because he is dead." Yun Hongce pointed his finger at the enclosed Beixuan Prefecture, "There is something wrong with his death. It seems to have broken some kind of balance.
From the previous analysis, none of the five overlords who were in a restrained state, Xuan Emperor, Hei Maitreya, Xiaoyaozi, Guizun and King Wuwei, should die, at least not in such an abrupt way before the two overlord forces launched a decisive battle.
So some new changes may happen next.
And our lack of intelligence will result in our inability to make corresponding preparations when faced with this change, which means we are helpless."
Chi Yanming nodded. In fact, he could no longer keep up with Yun Hongce's thinking progress, but it was definitely right to nod now.
"So what do we do?"
"First of all, we need to slightly change other forces' impressions of us. We need to keep the disguise of the Red Demon Clan, but we also need to let interested people discover some of the truth about our Red Demon Kingdom.
Secondly, we cannot afford a life-and-death battle between the two races, so the night department needs to spread the message and blame the previous killings on our Akara Demon Kingdom's hatred of the Buddha Land!
Our enemies only treat us as prisoners and have been trapped in the Buddhist land of the Far West Demonic Realm for thousands of years, not all human races.
At the same time, the Curse Department wants to speed up the research progress. I need to let those warriors know that transforming into an orthodox demon can gain more powerful power, instead of just becoming a killing weapon like the Red Demon.
Finally, in our current position we cannot actively choose allies, so we can only go through the enemy."
"enemy?"
"Yes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. As we intensify our offensive against the Buddha Land, forces that are dissatisfied with or hate them will naturally contact us. Of course, the prerequisite is that you do the first point.
We must let those power lords know as soon as possible that our Red Demon Kingdom can communicate.
In addition...the behavior of those bald heads is also very wrong, please give me the map of Xixuanzhou Prefecture."
Chi Yanming took out a map from the space ring and laid it directly on the ground.
Compared with the previous map of Kyushu, which only marked the major forces, this map is more detailed. It divides the Buddhist Zen Sect, the Demon Sect, the Buddhist coalition headed by Cihang's lineage, the Linlang Duan clan, and
The area occupied by the Red Demon Kingdom.
"Previously, Lord Chihuang learned an important piece of information from Zhishan. The other party said that as long as we don't attack this area, the Zen Sect will not send out a single soldier." Yun Hongce drew a circle in the northeast of the map.
Chi Yanming nodded obediently, and then pointed to the area from the west to the south.
"The main people fighting us now are the Buddhist coalition forces headed by Cihang's lineage. Their offensive may be slow or urgent. In some places, the resistance is fierce, and in some places, they will run away after just one fight. The fighting will of these Buddhist people
It is really......"
"That's not right." Yun Hongce looked at the map. The area occupied by the Chiluo Demon Kingdom started from the far west and entered the south, and bordered an area in the Southwest Prefecture.
Because the Buddhist clan retreated too quickly, and the Red Demon Clan, known as the killing weapon, attacked much faster than expected, Yun Hongce had not waited for the map to be updated, and the lunatic army had already been led out of Xixuan Prefecture.
"Where is Lord Red Emperor?"
"After fighting an old nun yesterday, I defeated her and then continued to lead the Red Demons to attack the city. As for the location..."
At this moment, Chi Yanming finally caught up with Yun Hongce's thinking progress.
"These Buddhists think of us as a tool to weaken their opponents!"
"This has been the case since the birth of the demon clan. It has also been the case since Zen and Zhi Shan, who was so complacent that he thought he had reached a tacit understanding with him, and signed a non-interference vow. It is even more so now."
Yun Hongce's expression was very calm. He put away the map and said:
"First, the person behind the scenes used us as a tool to contain the entire Buddhist land. Then the Zen sect used us to weaken the various branches of the Buddhist land, thereby establishing its prestige as the leader of the Buddhist sect. Finally, the Cihang lineage wanted to bring us in.
In the Southwest Prefecture, a snipe and a clam came out to fight for the fisherman's profit.
It seems that they all really believed the inherent impression I gave about belonging to the demon clan.
If it weren't for the lack of key information, I would be sure to take advantage of this and devour the entire Xixuan Prefecture within a month!
But... there are too many doubts, and it is difficult to explain what I can't figure out.
But this is also an opportunity.
Xiao Ming, this time I need you to go to the southwest capital with me."
"Lord Red Emperor's side..."
"Even if you explain the key points, do you think he can listen?"
"cannot."
"So, let's go."
Yun Hongce turned around and glanced at the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva in the center of the hall. His smile seemed to be making some kind of mockery.
"The smile is so ugly."
As Yun Hongce and Chi Yanming walked out of the hall one after another, the pillars in the hall collapsed, and the Buddha statue broke into dozens of pieces and was buried under dust and rubble.
