The demon battlefield is roughly divided into three parts.
Areas occupied by humans, areas occupied by demons, and areas occupied by natives on the battlefield.
The three forces are intertwined with each other. Under normal circumstances, the indigenous people are in a neutral position.
At this time, just when Gu An and others successfully killed Yan Prison.
In a palace thousands of miles away from Yanyao City.
There was an old man sitting cross-legged on a futon, with his eyes closed, facing a bronze statue in front of him whose face could not be seen clearly.
After about a quarter of an hour, a young man slowly walked in and came to the old man's side.
"Master, there is news over there that the demons have been sending more troops to the front lines recently."
"More troops...where are the humans?"
The old man slowly said that although their appearance is no different from humans, they never think of themselves as humans and call themselves saints.
"There seems to be no news about humans."
"Oh, humans themselves are not in a hurry, why should we be in a hurry?"
"But doesn't the ancestral precept say, let us help mankind?" The young man was a little stubborn and seemed to want to remind the old man to remember the ancestral precept.
The old man did not speak, but remained silent for a moment, slowly stood up, and looked at the young man calmly.
The young man took the initiative to kneel on the ground and bowed: "Master, what I said is true.
There are a total of 108 ancestral precepts of my holy race, the last of which is that when mankind encounters a crisis, we should spare no effort to help mankind fight against demons."
"Anzhi, you have to know that when Master and I learned the ancestral precepts, your grandfather was not even born yet. I am already familiar with the 108 regulations mentioned above."
"Master, why have we remained neutral all these years?" A young man named Xie Anzhi was puzzled.
"Because our saint clan is too powerful."
Xie Anzhi frowned and thought about the meaning of the old man's words.
"Let me ask you, how many holy warriors are there in the record of my holy clan?"
"A total of one hundred and sixty-three people."
"Where is the Dao realm?"
"Seventeen people."
"What about humans?"
"According to the last survey we sent to the human world, there were ninety-eight warriors in the holy realm and two in the Tao realm.
Among them, two Dao realm warriors are surviving warriors from the medieval period."
"What about demons?"
"The demonic forces are actually very powerful, and what's here is only a part of their strength.
There are one hundred and fifty-six emperor-level demons and ten emperor-level demons.
However, due to the rules of our Anyuan space, their emperor-level demons cannot come over yet."
The old man nodded slowly: "Yes, so do you understand now? There is actually a big gap between the strength of humans and monsters.
However, on the human side, it seems that many warriors from the medieval period are about to awaken, and after a while, their number of strong men will increase a lot.
But even so, it's still not enough.
So, they need pressure."
"pressure?"
The old man walked towards the outside of the hall and said: "Yes, it is pressure. Only the greater the pressure the demon puts on them, the greater their sense of urgency will be, which will further encourage them to want to improve their strength.
to fight against the demon.
If our holy clan takes action, we will directly wipe out all the demons.
Without pressure and no need for outsiders to take action, humans will start fighting among themselves."
"Infighting?"
"Yes, it's just like us now." The old man came outside the palace and looked down at the houses at the foot of the mountain: "We have been comfortable for too long. Some people have forgotten who their ancestors are, and they can't wait to interfere with demons and humans.
things to show your existence.”
After thinking for a while, Xie Anzhi said: "Master, I heard that behind the demons, are the remaining humans from ancient times instigating them?"
"Yes and no; they left on their own initiative back then, and now they want to come back, so they have united with some demons who also want to know the secrets of humans.
The relationship between them is complicated, but it doesn't matter, they are just Taoist warriors who claim to be gods."
After a long silence, Xie Anzhi took a step back and cupped his hands and said: "Master, I heard that there have been some interesting young people from the human side recently, and I want to go and see them."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
…
Demon battlefield, in a huge black city in the rear area.
The City Lord's Mansion, located in the central city, was singing and dancing at this time.
"Haha, Brother Han, if you come to our place this time, you will have a few more days of fun." Sitting on the main seat, a burly demon with black clothes and two horns on his head faced a man next to him.
The middle-aged man in white robe smiled.
The holy warrior named Han Shan smiled and said: "It's rare to come out, so naturally we have to play for a few days."
Demon Heiyan raised the wine bottle in his hand, toasted Han Shan, and said with a playful smile: "Why, the high priest of your tribe hasn't agreed yet?"
"No." Han Shan laughed and shook his head: "Old man, after living for a long time, his thoughts have become somewhat solidified. It has been many years, but he still believes in those words.
But Brother Hei, don’t worry, our great elder is still very optimistic about your side."
"Haha, of course I know this, otherwise why would you let a heavyweight like Brother Han come over?"
Hearing this, Han Shan smiled on his face: "The Great Elder asked me to tell Brother Hei that we also know about your deployment of troops to prepare for an all-out attack on humans this time.
But don’t worry, the great elder and the high priest convinced us at the meeting that we will not help humans, so you can take action without worry.”
A surprised expression appeared on Heiyan's face: "Is that really true?"
"Of course, I've come here in person, how can I still have a holiday?"
"Okay! With Brother Han's words, I feel relieved." Heiyan waved her hand, and the maid next to her poured the wine: "Come! Drink! Haha."
Just when Hei Shan was happy, a demon walked quickly from outside the temple, possessed Hei Yan's ears, and said something unknown.
Hei Yan's expression immediately changed: "Fire Prison?"
"It's him."
"Yan Yao City is at the junction of the outer and middle sections. You should quickly send an order to Yin Quan and ask him to rush to Yan Yao City immediately. I must capture the murderer!"
"Yes." The demon responded and quickly exited the hall.
Han Shan asked: "Brother Hei, what happened?"
"Brother Han doesn't know. I just received news that the soul jade of a member of our clan who has reached the semi-imperial level has been shattered."
"Half-Emperor level? Is there a human holy warrior coming in?"
"It shouldn't be the case. We can all feel it when a Saint Realm warrior comes in; but this time we didn't feel it at all. It's probably only a half-step Saint Realm warrior at most."
At this time, it was still a hundred miles away from Yanyao City in mid-air.
Yinquan, who was slowly advancing, frowned and murmured: "The fluctuations in the battle have stopped. Is this a reconciliation? Then I can't get through it."
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly had a thought in his mind and took the jade pendant from his waist. When he saw the message above, his expression changed drastically.
"Yan Yu is dead, hurry up and rush to Yan Yao City."
