"Elder Liu Shui, Elder Qi, thank you for coming from afar." Liu Huifeng smiled and cupped his fists.
The old man in linen clothes beside him turned his head and nodded indifferently as a greeting.
"Lord Liu is too polite. You've been guarding the borders for the dynasty and you've done your best. Lord Demon King is very pleased and asked us to send our regards to Lord Liu." The tall man didn't say anything but the young man in purple robe said with a smile.
"Lord Demon King is too polite. I don't deserve it." Liu Huifeng replied politely.
Liu Ming was standing in the crowd and his eyes flashed when he heard the conversation between the two.
According to the information he had gathered over the years, the Gao He Clan, the Kong Xiang Clan, the Liu Clan, and the Long Clan, these four great clans were extremely powerful. Their influence spread throughout the entire Myriad Devil Continent, and in the Central Dynasty, these four great clans had high positions of nobility. The patriarchs of these four great clans were even conferred the title of Four Great Devil Marquis.
Of course, he didn't know how much power was involved in this.
"Oh right, Elder Liu Shui, I almost forgot to introduce them. These are the patriarchs of the Zang Province and Yu Province who heard the news and came to help." Liu Huifeng suddenly thought of something and pointed at Liu Ming and the others.
The purple-robed young man's gaze swept across the crowd, and a purple splendor flashed across his eyes.
Liu Ming and the others felt their bodies go cold. It seemed that the young man in purple robe saw through many of their secrets.
When the young man in purple robe looked at Liu Ming, Liu Ming's expression changed slightly. The true devil mark on his forehead suddenly heated up.
The young man in purple robe frowned and looked at Liu Ming for a while. He looked up and down and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly looked away.
"All of you, Patriarchs, have worked tirelessly and faithfully for the sake of the dynasty. Once we've quelled the Great Shuo rebels, I'll definitely report this to the Demon Sovereign and reward you accordingly," the purple-robed youth said in a clear voice.
"Thank you, Lord Liu Shui." Although the patriarchs had different thoughts, they all bowed and said.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, all of them descended into Secluded Flame City, and then they walked into the main hall and sat down in succession.
Liu Huifeng and Huangfu Liushui sat side by side on the main seats, while Huangfu Qi and the old man in linen clothes sat below. Everything seemed to be in order.
As soon as Huangfu Liushui sat down, he immediately asked, "Marquis Liu, what's the current situation of the Great Shuo army outside Yourong City?"
"I was just about to report this matter to Lord Liu Shui. The current situation is like this …" Liu Huifeng immediately explained the situation of Yourong City in detail.
All the Patriarchs in the hall pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"... According to the report of our spies, although the Great Shuo army at Black Wind Gorge has more than ten Celestial Elephant Devils as reinforcements, there are still only three Profound Understanding experts." Liu Huifeng said.
Hearing this, everyone present was immediately overjoyed. Now that they had Huangfu Liushui and Huangfu Qi, two Profound Understanding cultivators, their overall strength had definitely surpassed the Great Shuo army.
However, Liu Ming did not show any joy on his face.
Huangfu Liushui thought for a moment, then immediately stood up and said, "Good, the battle will end in a flash. Since the enemy is weak and we are strong, we should immediately seize the opportunity. Marquis Liu, why don't we issue the order to march right away? "Huangfu Liushui suggested after a brief moment of contemplation.
"Elder Liu Shui, should we discuss a battle plan first? Don't tell me we're just going to charge in rashly? "The old man in linen clothes sitting beside Liu Huifeng hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Elder Zyang is indeed as cautious as the rumors say. However, I just glanced at the enemy camp outside Yourong City from afar. It's only a few thousand miles away from Yourong City, and it'll be almost instantaneous. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to hide the movements of our troops from the enemy. Moreover, our strength is currently much stronger than the enemy, so there's no need to beat around the bush. "Huangfu Liushui chuckled and said confidently.
"Elder Liushui's words make sense. In that case, Patriarchs, please immediately summon your clansmen. Tonight, we will attack Black Wind Gorge. "Liu Huifeng also stood up and gave the order when he heard the other party say so.
The Patriarchs below hurriedly stood up and responded. They quickly left the main hall and flew towards the residences of their respective clans.
Liu Ming flew out of the hall with an indifferent expression. However, at this moment, he felt a gaze fall on him and his heart immediately trembled.
However, he didn't turn around and his figure didn't pause in the slightest. It was as if he hadn't sensed anything and continued to fly forward, disappearing from the hall in the blink of an eye.
On the main seat, Huangfu Liushui slowly withdrew his gaze. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the old man in linen clothes, Liu Zyang, bid farewell to the others and also flew out of the hall to mobilize the Liu army.
In the blink of an eye, only Liu Huifeng, Huangfu Liushui, and Huangfu Qi remained in the hall.
Liu Huifeng asked with a smile, "Elders, you've come from afar. Do you need to rest? The distance from the imperial capital to here is very far, but the two of you only used two days. You must have used some kind of secret technique, right? "Liu Huifeng asked with a smile.
"There's no need for that. Brother Qi and I were directly teleported to the vicinity of the Hidden Province by the Demon King. After that, we only flew for one day and one night. We didn't use much Fa Li." Huangfu Liushui waved his hand and said casually.
"That's right, there was a young man in green among the families just now. Is Lord Liu familiar with him?" Huangfu Liu Ming suddenly asked after laughing. At the same time, he waved his hand and a purple light shot out. A figure appeared in the purple light. It was Liu Ming.
"This person … I remember his name is Liu Ming. He is the patriarch of a mid-level family in the Hidden Province. Why, is Elder Liushui interested in this person? "Liu Huifeng's eyes flashed and he asked with some surprise.
"Surnamed Liu … could he be a member of your Liu Clan?" Huangfu Liushui let out a faint smile and asked.
"Elder Liushui must be joking. That's not the case. In the Myriad Demon Continent, we are not the only family with the surname Liu." Liu Huifeng shook his head and smiled.
"My apologies, my apologies. I saw that this person's Fa Li far exceeded his cultivation level. That's why I asked casually. Lord Liu, please don't blame me." Huangfu Liu Ming said as a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He then turned his head and looked in the direction of the Black Wind Gorge.
"Elder Liushui doesn't need to worry. Right now, our strength far surpasses that of the Great Shuo Empire. Even if we can't completely annihilate the enemy, we will be able to heavily injure them and buy a lot of time for the dynasty to mobilize their troops." Liu Huifeng saw the expression on Huangfu Liushui's face and slowly said.
"Lord Liu is right." Huangfu Liushui laughed and nodded. However, there was another thought in his mind.
The background of the Great Shuo Empire was only recorded in the Central Dynasty's Secret Vault of Ten Thousand Scrolls, and only the supreme experts of the imperial family could browse through it. Therefore, this Liu Clan's Patriarch didn't know exactly how strong the enemy they had to deal with was.
On the other hand, because of the appearance of the Great Shuo Empire, the Demon Emperor of the Central Dynasty had already urgently mobilized hundreds of thousands of imperial troops to secretly head towards the Hidden Province. However, no one knew about this yet.
The reason why Huangfu Liushui insisted on making a move immediately was because he had some selfish motives.
His lifespan wasn't long, but he had already cultivated to the Mystic Understanding Realm. Moreover, he was a direct descendant of the Central Dynasty's imperial family and one of the strong contenders for the next Demon Emperor.
This time, the Great Shuo Empire had made a comeback and quite a few contenders for the position of Demon Emperor had already been mobilized. He naturally planned to make some contributions before the others.
However, he couldn't tell these things to Liu Huifeng.
After all, the Liu Clan's attitude towards the successor of the Central Dynasty had always been somewhat ambiguous. If he told him about this now, it might increase the number of variables.
On the other hand, Huangfu Qi glanced at Huangfu Liushui and still didn't say anything. His expression was blank from beginning to end, and he looked like he was following Huangfu Liushui's lead.
Liu Huifeng placed his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Black Wind Gorge outside the hall. His eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At the same time, at the residence of the Qing Clan.
After hearing Liu Ming's words, Qing Fang immediately ordered for the Qing Clan to gather.
In order to prepare for the battle these two days, everyone in the Qing Clan had been quietly cultivating in their residences. Soon, they gathered.
"Qing Fang, do you remember what I told you before? Once the battle starts, bring your clansmen and follow behind me immediately. Don't stay too far away from me, "Liu Ming said in a low voice.
"Yes, Family Head." Qing Fang answered with a solemn expression.
"Alright, then let's go." Liu Ming waved his hand and took the lead to fly to the hall in the city. Qing Fang immediately led the Qing Clan's cultivators to follow.
In the hall of the Qing Clan's residence, a black-veiled girl stood at the door and looked at Liu Ming's back faintly. It was Scorpion.
Scorpion's eyes flickered slightly, and then her body turned into a ball of yellow light and burrowed into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
Whether it was the Liu Clan's army or the cultivators of the various clans, they could all be said to be elite troops.
Just an hour later, when the sky gradually darkened, the people of the various clans in Yourong City had already gathered outside the city, and the Liu Clan's main army had also finished reorganizing.
Although the clans stood together, one could still faintly see some differences.
Some of the aristocratic families stood alone, while others had several families gathered together.
The Qing Clan, Lei Clan, and the other three clans were already standing together. Liu Ming, Legg, and the others exchanged glances.
In the sky above Yourong City, Liu Huifeng waved his hand and released a technique, removing the formation restriction on Yourong City.
A distant bell sound came from within the city!
"Let's go!"
Liu Huifeng waved his hand expressionlessly.
In the next moment, spirit lights appeared one after another, and the sound of breaking through the air could be heard!
The people of the various clans and the Liu Clan's army, who had rested for several days, flew into the sky, turning into countless rays of light, and headed in the direction of Black Wind Gorge.
