Huangfu Yupo stood in the fortress with a gloomy expression.
The Profound Opening Realm elders of the Huangfu Clan weren't as harmonious as they seemed on the surface. This was especially true after the death of the original crown prince, Huangfu Liushui. The conflict between the Profound Opening Realm elders became even more intense.
The elders secretly supported one or a few descendants of the Huangfu Clan who were expected to become the crown prince. The succession of power was bound to be accompanied by battles.
Huangfu Zhantian supported Huangfu Jiangu, and she was Zhao Qianying's master, so she naturally stood behind Zhao Qianying.
But at this moment, the Demon King suddenly agreed to let Huangfu Jiangu join the Blood Lion Corps. This was somewhat unexpected. Did the Demon King have a deeper meaning?
Just as Huangfu Yupo was thinking about this, purple light flashed on her body and a communication formation plate with complex purple runes flew out. After a tremble, a row of small words appeared on its surface.
Huangfu Yupo's expression changed as she glanced at the small words.
She flew into a building at the center of the fortress in the blink of an eye, then quickly strode into a hall. She flicked her hands through the air in rapid succession, and several streaks of purple light shot forth before disappearing in the surrounding space in a flash.
Dense purple threads appeared in the void of the entire hall. Under the intertwining, an invisible layer of restriction enveloped the entire space.
After doing this, Huangfu Yupo waved her hand and the formation plate flew into the air.
A grand purple formation spread out from the disk, and soon, the entire hall was filled with purple light.
Huangfu Yupo chanted and waved her hand. A moment later, several figures appeared in the purple formation.
One of them was Huangfu Yong, the others were Huangfu Zhantian, the silver-haired middle-aged man, and three unfamiliar figures.
One was a purple-robed young man with light purple eyes and a pair of sword-like eyebrows. He was quite handsome.
Another was a burly man in azure demonic armor. His eyes flickered and rays of light flowed out.
The last person was a white-haired old woman. Her face was full of wrinkles, and she had a doddering appearance.
Including Huangfu Yupo, there were six people.
The six of them were none other than the current commanders of the Huangfu Clan's six major legions.
"The situation is urgent. We don't have time to send the elders back to the imperial city," Huangfu Yong said with a gloomy face.
Huangfu Yupo and the others exchanged glances but did not speak a word.
In a secret chamber within the Demon Palace, Huangfu Yongzheng sat on a wide purple chair. There was also a purple formation in front of him. Huangfu Yupo and the other five were inside the formation.
"According to the latest news, more than ten counties in the west, north, and east of the Central Dynasty have been attacked by the Liu Family's army at the same time. The troops that were deployed at the border have almost all retreated," Huangfu Yong said with an ugly expression.
Hearing this, the six people's expressions changed drastically.
"Impossible! According to the intelligence, the combat strength of the Liu Clan at the frontline is almost the same as ours. Even if they suddenly have reinforcements, the fortresses near the border are all equipped with powerful formations that can resist for 10 days. How could they be broken through so easily? "Huangfu Zhantian said in disbelief.
"Many giant demonic corpses that are hundreds of feet tall suddenly appeared in the Liu Clan's army. Their auras are above the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Their bodies are like iron walls that are almost invulnerable. They're very difficult to deal with. The Liu Clan relied on the power of these demonic corpses to break through our defense in a very short time. " Huangfu Yong waved his hand as he spoke. A wave of light flew out of his hand and condensed into a water mirror in the air.
The water mirror showed an image of dozens of giant demonic corpses besieging a fortress.
Inside the fortress, the Central Dynasty's army launched a series of attacks. However, when the attacks landed on the demonic corpses, they could only leave some damage on the surface. At most, they could only make the demonic corpses take a few steps back. They could not cause any actual damage at all.
Meanwhile, the corrosive liquid that the demonic corpses spat out and the light beam attacks caused great damage to the defensive barrier. As a result, the barrier outside the fortress did not last long before it was forcefully torn apart by the dozens of demonic corpses.
Huangfu Zhantian and the others' expressions changed when they saw this. Although they could not really sense the strength of the demonic corpses from the water mirror, judging from the image, the demonic corpses might have the strength of Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Huangfu Yupo's expression changed even more when she saw the tall demonic corpses.
"The border guards suffered a great loss. They've now retreated to some cities near the prefectures and prefectures. If there are no reinforcements soon, I'm afraid the prefectures such as Yi, Li, Jin, and the other prefectures will soon no longer belong to the Huangfu Clan! "Huangfu Yong said with a terrible expression.
If these prefectures were to be lost so quickly, it would be a great blow to the Central Dynasty's prestige. The tribute ceremony that had just been successfully held would also lose most of its meaning.
"Demon Emperor, these demonic corpses are exactly the same as the ones I encountered in the Demon Abyss," Huangfu Yupo suddenly interrupted.
Subsequently, she briefly described the situation of the demonic corpses she encountered in the cemetery at the periphery of the Demon Abyss.
Huangfu Zhantian and the others' expressions changed again when they heard that.
"I've already guessed that. I'm afraid the Liu Clan used some method to summon these demonic corpses from the Demon Abyss Secret Zone," the Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.
Everyone's expression was very solemn. The Liu Clan's unexpected action had completely disrupted the Huangfu Clan's originally complacent and meticulous arrangements. The situation had become precarious.
After a moment, Huangfu Zhantian carefully asked, "Demon Emperor, based on the current situation, should we reorganize the six legions that were originally preparing to go to the battlefield?"
"According to the information from the frontline, these demonic corpses are mainly appearing in the Wing, Yin, Jin, and Chi prefectures. Among the six legions, the Blood Lion Legion, Greedy Wolf Legion, Quwu Legion, and Windbreaker Legion will immediately move out to reinforce these four prefectures. The remaining two legions will set off at the same time and rush to the Liu Clan's base camp in the Li Province. Since the Liu Clan is fighting everywhere, the Li Province must be empty. As for the alliance of aristocratic clans, a portion of them will go to the affected prefectures and counties. At the same time, they will go to the other battlefronts! " Huangfu Yong's expression had already returned to its usual solemn state. He frowned slightly and after a moment of thought, he decisively gave the order.
"Yes!" Huangfu Yupo and the others hurriedly responded.
"Time is of the essence. All of you go to the frontline immediately. Elder Yupo, please stay for a moment," Huangfu Yong said.
Huangfu Zhantian and the others agreed before their figures flashed and vanished without a trace within the formation, and only Huangfu Yupo remained behind.
"Elder Yupo, do you understand why I asked you to stay behind alone?" Huangfu Yong asked.
"I don't." Huangfu Yupo's eyes flashed and he shook his head.
"Elder Yupo, your Blood Lion Legion will head to the Yin Province. That is an important transportation point in the north. If we lose it, the cities in the north will soon be surrounded by the Liu Clan and destroyed one by one. Therefore, this place must not be lost!" The Demon Emperor's expression was very serious. After a moment of silence, he stood up and took a few steps with his hands behind his back. Finally, his eyes flashed and he made up his mind.
"Yes, Demon Emperor!" Huangfu Yupo replied.
"There is another reason why I want you to go to the Yin Province. That place is the closest to the Han Province. Among the six commanders of the legions, only you have seen those demonic corpses in the Demon Abyss. After you arrive at the Yin Province, find a way to investigate the source of those demonic corpses. I have received news that the valley leading to the Demon Abyss in the Han Province has been shrouded by a white mist since a few years ago. I'm afraid this is the doing of the Liu Clan, "Huangfu Yong said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will not let you down." Huangfu Yupo's expression changed and he agreed.
…
In a secret room of the fortress where the Blood Lion Legion was located, twelve earthen yellow beads were slowly rotating in the air in a strange formation.
Each of the earthen yellow beads seemed to be a little transparent. The scenery of the mountains and rivers in them was vivid and lifelike. It was as if one could hear the sound of the mountains and rivers flowing in them.
Liu Ming sat cross-legged below them with his eyes closed. He had a solemn expression on his face as if he was comprehending something. At the same time, his hands were constantly changing hand seals. What was amazing was that the twelve Beads of Mountains and Rivers in the air were also changing according to his hand seals, flashing one after another in a strange pattern.
Liu Ming was now at the late Celestial Phenomenon stage. If he wanted to step into the Ethereal Enlightenment stage, it was necessary to comprehend the power of the laws. The Beads of Mountains and Rivers were the magic treasures he was most familiar with. After all twelve of them had been upgraded to Heavenly Abode magic treasures, they had a relatively complete domain power. Therefore, comprehending the laws of the Beads of Mountains and Rivers was one of his cultivation methods.
At this moment, a buzzing sound came from his waist.
Liu Ming's heart stirred. He flipped his hand and a communication disk appeared in his hand. It was emitting a faint white light and a row of small words appeared.
He glanced at it and then put away the formation disk. His body turned into a black light and rushed out of the secret room.
In the meeting hall of the Blood Lion Legion's stronghold.
Huangfu Yupo sat on the main seat, and a red haired young man sat on his left. It was the prince, Huangfu Jiangu. On the right was an extremely beautiful young woman in a violet dress, and her skin was as white as snow. It was Zhao Qianying.
Most of the other seats were already occupied, old and young. They were all division commanders of the Blood Lion Legion.
When Liu Ming entered, he glanced around the room. When his gaze fell on Zhao Qianying, he couldn't help but be surprised. Zhao Qianying also happened to look at him.
When their gazes met, Liu Ming's head shook and he couldn't help but slow down his footsteps.
Embarrassment flashed in his eyes and he hurriedly looked away. Zhao Qianying's pretty face turned slightly red and she quickly turned her head away.
Liu Ming quickly found an inconspicuous seat and sat down. When he looked at Huangfu Yupo, his expression suddenly changed.
Huangfu Yupo's brows were tightly furrowed and he looked a little gloomy. It was somewhat different from his usual calm self.
"Did something happen to the battle?"
Liu Ming muttered in his heart. However, this wasn't the occasion for him to interrupt. He could only wait quietly.
Huangfu Jiangu's expression didn't change. When he saw how Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying looked at each other, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
