After Liu Ming entered the meeting hall, more people came in one after another. When they saw Huangfu Yupo's unfriendly expression, they just cupped their hands and bowed to him from afar. Then, they silently took their seats.
After a while, Huangfu Yupo looked around and saw that all the generals were present. Then, he said with a solemn expression,
"Today, I urgently summoned everyone because there is important news from the frontline. More than ten prefectures in the west, north, and east of the continent are being pressured by the Liu family's army. At the same time, a giant invulnerable Demonic Corpse has appeared in the enemy's army. It has caused the local garrison and the aristocratic families to suffer heavy losses and are in urgent need of reinforcements! "
As soon as Huangfu Yupo finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. Huangfu Jiangu was also surprised.
Liu Ming frowned slightly. As expected, there was an unexpected change in the battle situation. He could not help but feel a shadow cast over his heart.
"Demonic Corpse?" However, his eyes flashed and he made a guess after thinking quickly.
"Due to the sudden change in the battle situation, His Majesty the Demon King has ordered the six major legions to immediately dispatch troops to the frontline as reinforcements. Our Blood Lion Legion will be in charge of reinforcing the Yinzhou Province. The situation is urgent. Everyone, gather the troops immediately. We will depart in an hour, "Huangfu Yupo said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Everyone in the hall replied in unison.
"Elder Yupo, you mentioned that a powerful invulnerable Demonic Corpse has appeared in the Liu family's army. Do you have more specific information?" At this moment, a voice sounded. It was Liu Ming who had been sitting in the corner.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was dressed in purple robes. Liu Ming, who was wearing a green robe, was exceptionally eye-catching.
However, after hearing Liu Ming's words, everyone was stunned and also looked at Huangfu Yupo.
Huangfu Yupo's expression changed. He looked deeply at Liu Ming and said, "There is no specific information about this Demonic Corpse for now.
"Regarding this Demonic Corpse, there is no concrete information for the time being. However, Lord Demon King has already sent people to investigate. I believe there will be new information soon. Right now, rushing to the Yinzhou Province is more important. "
Liu Ming frowned and did not say anything.
"Yes!" Everyone in the hall received the order respectfully. Many people looked at Liu Ming with ridicule and then filed out.
Liu Ming ignored the gazes of the people around him.
A short while later, everyone in the hall had left, leaving only him, Huangfu Yupo, and Zhao Qianying.
"Elder Yupo, do you really not have any clues about the demonic corpse you mentioned earlier?" Liu Ming looked straight at Huangfu Yupo and asked.
Zhao Qianying seemed to have thought of something as well. She turned to look at Huangfu Yupo after hearing Liu Ming's words.
"There were too many people here just now, so it's not convenient for me to say some things." Huangfu Yupo glanced at Liu Ming and said plainly.
"Looks like you two have more or less guessed it. That's right, the Liu Clan's Demon Corpses are exactly the same as the Demon Corpses in the cemetery in the Demon Abyss," Huangfu Yupo said.
"As expected!"
Liu Ming's pupils shrank. Although he had a hunch beforehand, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he confirmed it.
"How is this possible? The Demon Abyss closed ten years ago. How did they get the Demon Corpses out?" Zhao Qianying's beautiful eyes widened as she said.
"The Demon King asked us to go to the Yinzhou Province. On one hand, it's to reinforce the army there, and on the other hand, it's to find out the origin of the Demon Corpses." Huangfu Yupo thought for a while and said with a sigh.
Zhao Qianying's expression changed. She then turned to look at Liu Ming beside her but didn't say anything.
Huangfu Yupo turned to look at Zhao Qianying and said, "Ying 'er, the Demon King asked me to tell you that this incident happened too suddenly. The Yinzhou Province is full of danger and we don't know how many backup plans the Liu Clan has. It's better for you not to go with the army."
Zhao Qianying's expression changed. She glanced at Liu Ming and said loudly, "No, I'm not a coward."
"Alright then, but stay by my side and don't act alone." Huangfu Yupo smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Elder Yupo, how many Demon Corpses are there now? To be able to attack several prefectures at the same time, there should be a lot of them, right? "Liu Ming asked with a frown.
"From the current situation, the number of Demon Corpses has already reached the scale of thousands." Huangfu Yupo said with an ugly expression.
Liu Ming took a deep breath. The Demon Corpses in the Devil Abyss Secret Realm were all at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Thousands of Demon Corpses meant that thousands of Celestial Phenomenon Devils were attacking. Even the Huangfu Clan wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Moreover, if this terrible news were to spread to the other three noble clans, who knew what consequences it would bring.
Liu Ming and Huangfu Yupo looked at each other and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
"No matter what, let's go to the Yinzhou Province first. I believe that some things will be cleared up when we get there." Huangfu Yupo said.
Liu Ming nodded.
Half an hour later, the fortress was filled with light. Amidst the noisy sound of breaking through the air, more than ten flying boats rose into the sky.
The Blood Lion Legion had finally set off, heading straight for the Yinzhou Province.
At the same time, the other legions of the Huangfu Clan also set off, heading towards their respective destinations.
Just when the Huangfu Clan was mobilizing their troops, the news of the Liu Clan mobilizing a large number of Demon Corpses finally spread throughout the Myriad Devil Continent.
Gao He, the Long Clan, and the Kong Xiang Clan were naturally the first to receive the news.
In the He Prefecture of the Myriad Devil Continent, in the number one mountain range of the He Prefecture, within the Hundred Herds Mountain Range, there was an incomparably large city on a vast plain.
This city was named He City, it was the foundation of the aristocratic clans.
At the east of He City, on an incomparably large public square, countless Demon Race soldiers were currently gathered. There were over two hundred thousand of them, and they were clearly divided into two groups. From the way they were dressed, it was clear that they belonged to two different legions.
The number of people in each legion was about the same as the six legions of the Huangfu Clan.
Although there were hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, the public square was as silent as a grave. Clearly, these Demon Race soldiers were well-trained and not a mob.
In front of the public square was a tall building. Patriarch Gao Herui and his younger brother stood there, looking at the two great legions with a hint of pride in their eyes.
On the high platform, other than the two of them, there was also a yellow-robed young woman. She still had a graceful bearing and was also a Profound Understanding expert.
"Patriarch, the Liu Clan has gotten their hands on several thousand Celestial Phenomenon Demon Corpses. With the strength of the Huangfu Clan, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it. Under such circumstances, why do you still want to mobilize the two most elite legions of the clan to assist the Huangfu Clan? Isn't it better for us to sit back and watch the two tigers fight? "The yellow-robed young woman looked at Gao Herui and asked in confusion.
"Xin 'er, you're still underestimating the Huangfu Clan. How can a clan that has controlled the Myriad Devil Continent for so many years be as weak as it looks on the surface? Although the Liu Clan has suddenly risen to prominence, the alliance between the aristocratic clans has already been formed. As long as the Huangfu Clan can withstand this wave of attacks from the Liu Clan, the Huangfu Clan will undoubtedly emerge victorious once the battle is over. If my Gao He Clan violates the alliance and refuses to send out troops, I'm afraid we'll become the target of public criticism in the future. "Gao Herui indifferently said.
After hearing this, the yellow-robed young woman revealed a half-understanding expression.
"Moreover, even if we send out two great legions, it's not necessarily impossible for us to sit back and watch the Huangfu Clan and the Liu Clan fight." Gao Herui said with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.
"I understand." The yellow-robed young woman was startled, but a trace of understanding immediately appeared on her face. She nodded and said.
"Xin 'er, you and Elder Zhi will lead the two legions to the frontline. Go and make the preparations first." Gao Herui nodded and ordered.
"Yes." The yellow-robed young woman replied and flew off the high platform.
"Half a day ago, Huangfu Yong contacted you, right? You decided to send out troops so readily, but what kind of agreement did you reach with him?" The black-robed man standing behind Gao Herui asked.
"Hehe, that's right. Huangfu Yong promised to allow me to enter the Void Demon Cauldron for a month to comprehend the power of laws if I can quell the Liu Clan's rebellion. Otherwise, why would I agree to send out troops at this time? Even if it's half a month later and say that we're gathering our troops, Huangfu Yong will have nothing to say. "Gao Herui sneered.
"Master is wise!" The black-robed man Gao Herui cupped his hands and said.
"Therefore, there's no need for you and Xin 'er to fight the Liu Clan head-on. Just put on a show. If the Huangfu Clan really has any trump cards they haven't used yet, we'll act according to the circumstances." Gao Herui continued.
…
Lin Province, Ten Thousand Dragon City. It was the stronghold of the Long Clan, one of the four great clans.
There were many palaces in the center of the city. The palaces were carved with jade, green bricks and black tiles, and the eaves were tilted upwards.
In a hidden hall amidst the palaces.
The Long Clan's Master, Long Yi, was standing there. In front of him, there was a magic circle with a faint golden light. A tall figure stood in the magic circle. It was Huangfu Yong.
"… I won't beat around the bush. The previous conditions remain the same. Please guard the Wing Province for me for two months. As long as the Long Clan can do this, I'm willing to double the reward." Huangfu Yong's voice came from the magic circle.
Long Yi didn't answer immediately. He pondered on the spot and didn't say anything.
Huangfu Yong put his hands behind his back. He didn't have any intention of rushing Long Yi.
After a while, Long Yi looked at Huangfu Yong deeply. He finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, I agree to this. But after this, I'll return the favor I owe you."
"Of course." Huangfu Yong smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the light golden magic circle suddenly disappeared. His figure also disappeared without a trace.
Long Yi looked at the disappearing magic circle and stood quietly on the spot for a while. He raised one hand and a golden light flashed across the void and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, a golden-robed woman walked in. She was the other Metaphysic Realm cultivator of the Long Clan, Elder Yin Chan.
"Pass my order. Two legions of the clan will immediately set off for the Wing Province." Long Yi said faintly.
