Behind the Enemy's Lines
At the throat of the Northern Prefecture.
It used to be the border between the Cold Sky Immortal Residence, the Black Tortoise Immortal Residence, and the Beizhou Dynasty.
In just a few decades, things had changed. Xuanyuan still remembered that when he first entered the Northern Prefecture, it was on the land of the Beizhou Dynasty where he gambled on stones. There, he met Lord Virtuous the Eighth and Luo Zixi.
In the end, Cold Sky Saint found out and thought that Xuanyuan had made him a cuckold. He was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices.
Scenes of the past appeared in his mind. Now, this place was in ruins, and the mountains and rivers were all destroyed. It was all left by the war.
The holy land and dynasty of the past were long gone, leaving only the sighs of old friends.
Now, the elites of the Blue Dragon Holy Land were densely packed, occupying the sky. The will of these experts condensed, and their qi, blood, and Essence Qi converged into a sea that surged above the sky.
Invisible, the aura that manifested was like the arrival of a god of war. This kind of pressure could be transmitted to the Middle Prefecture.
"Holy Lord Xuanyuan is really swift and decisive. You arrived here so quickly. If you didn't stop, we really wouldn't have been able to catch up with you. This immortal steed is really as powerful as the legends say." The Left and Right Monarch Envoys descended from the sky. The 'Prince of Hongmeng' led a huge group of elites, a total of six million people, toward the army of the 'Qinglong Sacred Area'.
"It seems that Prince Hongmeng has long been prepared." Xuanyuan knew that if he hadn't gathered the troops long ago, he wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly. He could feel that these six million troops were all elites.
There was no lack of primordial auras among them. Clearly, the Heavenly Emperor of Hongmeng had also left some powerful troops behind to suppress the fate of the Zhongzhou Dynasty. After all, during the Age of Chaos, when all races rose up, it was a time of life and death for the human race. The Heavenly Emperor of Hongmeng and the Hundred Saints had calculated that such a day would come, so they must have made preparations. This was all within Xuanyuan's expectations.
Of course, Xuanyuan believed that this wasn't the full strength of the Zhongzhou Dynasty. They must have hidden something. Beasts like the Wind Immortal Steed could only be obtained because of Yuan 'er.
The 'Qinglong Sacred Area' was a great faction without any background. They had relied on their own efforts to gather the other factions together, resulting in their current strength. Apart from the treasures left behind by the 'Devouring Martial Monarch', they had nothing else. That being said, the treasures inside the 'Devouring Treasure Vault' were quite valuable too.
Looking at the lifeless Northern Continent in front of him, the cold wind howled, and the vast expanse of land covered with snow, giving off a gloomy and desolate feeling. Xuanyuan said gently, "Brother Hongmeng, what brilliant plan do you have? Why don't you share it with us?"
"I don't have any brilliant plan, but I do have a humble opinion. It's just that I don't know if I should say it." 'Prince Hongmeng' placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
"Brother Hongmeng, do we still need to talk about this between us? If you have any ideas, just say them." Xuanyuan was confused. 'Prince Hongmeng' was a very straightforward person.
"The Heaven Shrouding Sacred Land is a terrifying race that has existed since the Primordial Age. It's not an ordinary race. If we are careless and underestimate our enemy, it's very likely that we'll fall into a desperate situation. Therefore, I want to test it out first. There's no hurry. Also, Holy Lord Xuanyuan, don't you have the All Energy-Absorption Body? You can transform into the Heaven Shrouding Sacred Land and spy on the military situation. Let's see what the evil race has up their sleeves to deal with us." 'Prince Hongmeng' smiled.
"That won't do. I definitely can't let my little husband put himself in danger. I say, 'Prince Hongmeng', what do you mean by this? Why don't you go? Why must my little husband go?" Hwang Yue-chan was the first to be unhappy. She rolled her eyes at 'Prince Hongmeng'. The Kingmakers on the side could only rub their noses and didn't dare to say anything. The Holy Lord's wife of the 'Blue Dragon Sacred Land' was not someone to be trifled with. Among the elites of the 'Blue Dragon Sacred Land', there were quite a few powerhouses who realized this.
The Godly Beast Taotie beneath her was incomparably powerful. It also let out a deafening roar in protest.
"That's why I said that I don't have a brilliant plan. I do have a humble opinion, but I don't know if I should say it. Otherwise, Brother Xuanyuan, you can come up with an idea. Just pretend that I didn't say anything." 'Prince Hongmeng' smiled at Xuanyuan.
"There's no better way than this. Just like that, I will infiltrate the enemy's rear. In order to not be discovered by the enemy, I will head there with my true body and focus. When I'm not around, the command of the three armies will be handed over to 'Prince Hongmeng'. All of you must listen to my orders." Xuanyuan shouted sternly.
"Yes." This time, the Azure Thearch, the Black Thearch, the White Thearch, the Mystic Thearch, the Thunder Thearch, and the Wind Thearch — the six Heavenly Thearchs — followed the army.
There was no other reason. The evil race had planted countless elites in their clans. They couldn't take this lying down. They had to take revenge for their people. Moreover, they had set up many restrictive methods that could even be used to kill the enemy. One must know that these were things that were under their control.
"Little husband, you can't do this. The 'Heaven Shrouding Sacred Land' is a strange place. It's extremely dangerous." Hwang Yue-chan was on the verge of tears. She was very worried.
"Don't worry. The luck of the 'Heaven Shrouding Sacred Land' has fallen to the lowest point. Everyone is in a panic. They won't discover me. You just have to listen to 'Prince Hongmeng'. Don't make any mistakes." Xuanyuan patted Hwang Yue-chan's shoulder and comforted her.
"I know. It's all this guy's fault. Why did he have to be so naughty?" Hwang Yue-chan glared at 'Prince Hongmeng' and snapped.
Xuanyuan smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that Hwang Yue-chan didn't really blame 'Prince Hongmeng'.
"Haha, you can't blame me. If I were the 'All Energy-Absorption Body', I would definitely go. Those who are capable do more work. Brother Xuanyuan is stronger than me. You know that, so he has to share more of the burden. We can only serve as foils for Brother Xuanyuan." 'Prince Hongmeng' had a simple and honest look on his face as he chuckled and said nice things.
"Don't flatter my husband. The entire Central World knows how strong he is. I don't need you to tell me. I don't care how strong he is. I just want him to be safe. 'Prince Hongmeng', no wonder you're still single. You really don't understand a woman's heart. You deserve to be alone." Hwang Yue-chan shook her head and spread her hands. She looked extremely helpless. The upper echelons of the 'Zhongzhou Dynasty' sweated profusely. She was the only one who dared to talk to 'Prince Hongmeng' like that.
"Haha, then I'll have to ask you to teach me more. Let me understand a woman's heart." 'Prince Hongmeng' didn't care at all. He looked like an apprentice humbly asking for advice from his teacher. Many people were taken aback.
"Alright, I don't have time for you. I'm worried about my husband. Go away." Hwang Yue-chan waved her hand. 'Prince Hongmeng' could only rub his nose and walk to the side. He said respectfully, "Yes."
This conversation made many people laugh. The atmosphere before a great battle was completely gone. Everyone knew that this could only happen if they had a good relationship.
Xuanyuan had long since melded with the world, making it impossible for anyone to figure him out. After entering the Central Plains and turning into a member of the ghoul, no one noticed him at all.
"What do we do? I heard that the 'Blue Dragon Sacred Land' and the 'Zhongzhou Dynasty' have joined forces and are about to attack us."
"What are you afraid of? We still have many restrictions protecting us. They won't be able to break in anytime soon."
"Don't forget that these restrictions were laid down by those old men from the Five Elements Celestial Clan. Breaking them now is as easy as flipping a palm for them. You should know that the restrictions of our ghoul race are interlinked with their methods. Once they are broken, their power will be greatly reduced."
"Don't worry. With the Demonic Emperor around, we will definitely be safe. There must be something that we can't think of in our ghoul race. Everyone, don't worry." Xuanyuan blended into the crowd and comforted the panicking people.
"That's right. The Demonic Emperor is a supreme existence from the Desolate Antiquity Era. Up until now, he hasn't reacted at all. This can only prove that the 'Zhongzhou Dynasty' and 'Blue Dragon Sacred Land' are not worth mentioning in his eyes. He definitely has the confidence to deal with them." Someone echoed on the spot. This was arranged by Tian Xie Zi to encourage the morale of the army.
If they still followed the previous practice of killing anyone who dared to say something that was not confident, it would immediately cause panic among the people of the ghoul race.
The Demonic Emperor knew that once one's luck was suppressed, it was easy for one to lose confidence. It was like a person who had bad luck. Nothing went smoothly and nothing went well. Over time, one would feel that he was inferior to others.
Not to mention that the ghoul race was simply out of luck. Not only did everything go smoothly, they even had to be careful in their daily lives. They had to take small sips of water as if they were walking on thin ice. This kind of life was about to drive them crazy.
Every single expert seemed to have to pay attention to the flow of the Fighting Aura within their bodies and the circulation of the Great Dao at all times. Otherwise, they would be afraid that the hidden dangers contained in the Divine Abilities and techniques they cultivated would suddenly erupt and cause them to die.
In the ghoul race, once one went berserk and became a cripple, it was no different from being dead.
Tian Xie Zi walked out of the void, scaring many people into silence. He looked at Xuanyuan and knew that this wasn't the Heavenly Evil Tribe. He admired Xuanyuan for saying such words to boost morale. He patted Xuanyuan's shoulder and said, "Not bad. Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Xuanyuan's aura at this moment was the aura of the Zhan Fiend Tribe.
The reason why it evolved into the Zhan Fiend Tribe was because it was a ghoul race that descended from the outer realm. Tian Xie Zi naturally didn't know much about it. With so many people, it was impossible for anyone to know who was who.
He said those words just now because he knew that Tian Xie Zi was secretly monitoring and observing them. Therefore, he did it intentionally to attract the attention of the other party. Now that the Heaven Shrouding Holy Land's morale was low, they really needed this kind of talent.
