Han Tuhu explained, "The full name of the Blood Lion Battalion is' Blood Lion Independent Battalion '. The word' independent 'is added because the members of the Blood Lion Battalion are all exiled nobles from the Tian Yuan Realm."
"Exiled nobles?"
Li Yao remembered that Suo Chaolong often claimed that his ancestors were from the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Han Tuhu nodded and said, "The Tian Yuan Realm used to be a world ruled by demons, just like the Blood Demon Sector. After the rise of the Xing Yao Federation, it competed with the demons for living space and slaughtered countless demon kingdoms. The two most powerful forces were the 'Far East Demon Kingdom' in the ocean east of the Heaven's Origin Continent and the 'Alliance of 36 Demon Cities' on the Grand Desolate Plateau.
"When the two forces were destroyed, the integration of the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector had already begun. A lot of temporary wormholes appeared.
"Part of the demons of the Tian Yuan Realm fled to the Blood Demon Sector through wormholes after their defeat and became refugees.
"The demons who were capable of running away were mostly nobles in the Tian Yuan Realm. They were the authentic silver-blood demons. They also carried a lot of valuables and resources, including secret treasures and demonic arts that had been accumulated for thousands of years. In the Blood Demon Sector where the 'Four Pillars System' was implemented, their existence was accepted in consideration of their bloodline and the benefits that they brought.
"For a long time, the Blood Demon Sector's invasion of the Heaven's Origin Sector was under the guise of 'revenge for the demon brothers of the Heaven's Origin Sector and reclaiming their homeland'. After all, the demon race was very particular about justifications, too!
"However, the resources of the Blood Demon Sector were not abundant in the first place. It was not hard to imagine that, after the initial honeymoon period, when the resources and secret arts that they carried with them were gradually emptied, the exiled nobles from the Tian Yuan Realm were naturally not very popular.
"As it happened, some of the exiles did not know what was good for them. For example, the exiles from the Far East Demon Kingdom even established a 'government-in-exile of the Heaven's Origin Sector' in the Blood Demon Sector. They were truly sick.
"Very soon, they were taken over by the local demons of the Blood Demon Sector. He found an excuse and completely annexed it. "
"Suo Chaolong's ancestors were different. They came from the 'Alliance of Thirty-Six Demon Cities' of the Great Wilderness. Their initial strength was much weaker than that of the Far East Demon Kingdom of the past. That's why I'm very clear about my priorities. "
"After they fled to the Blood Demon Sector, they knew how to be discreet. They kept a low profile and clung to someone else's thighs in order to survive. They lived under the roof of others, and through generations of marriages, they finally gained a foothold in the Kingdom of Lion Butchers. "
"However, no matter how low-key they are, the mark of 'refugees' on them is hard to erase, especially now that the Blood Demon Sector is attacking the Tian Yuan Realm. What do you think we should do with the 'refugees' if the Tian Yuan Realm is truly conquered? Were they really going to give the entire Great Wilderness to them to build their own country? What a joke! "
"Even if they don't have such thoughts, would others believe them?"
"Therefore, the local demons of the Blood Demon Sector. In fact, they have always held a grudge against the refugee nobles.
"Let me give you a simple example. At the end of the Battle of Dawn, because of the mutiny in the frontline, almost all the main forces of the silver-blood demons turned around and fled.
"But the intelligence was not sent to the Blood Lion Battalion commanded by Suo Chaolong in time. Later, he was naturally asked to carry out the mission of 'covering the retreat'. He was asked to resist the pressure of three Crystal Suit Legions by himself. It was obvious that he was being asked to get himself killed.
"Suo Chaolong and his Blood Lion Battalion were very important in the eyes of the leadership of the Pantheon of Demons. It is not hard to imagine what kind of role they were.
"Elder Nether Spring probably chose to attack the Blood Lion Battalion because he knew that no one cared about the refugees in the Blood Demon Sector. Nobody cared about what happened to the refugees. If the silver-blood demons were needed as test subjects, the refugees would be the best targets!
"Do you understand it now? Suo Chaolong and the other 'refugees' have their own interests. Their interests and the interests of the leadership of the Pantheon of Demons. They are not necessarily the same. "
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. He rolled his bloody eyes again and again before he nodded slowly. "Got it. It seems that I need to consider carefully how to 'persuade' Suo Chaolong, an 'exiled noble'."
…
In the warehouse where the Blood Lion Battalion was located, the air pressure was so low that a storm seemed to be brewing on the ceiling at any moment.
Hundreds of heavily wounded silver-blood demons were either sitting or lying on the ground, coughing and vomiting blood nonstop. Their eyes were bulging in confusion, and they could not see the road ahead of them.
"Do you think that 'Vulture Li Yao' is telling the truth? Are human beings and demons really of the same origin? "
"False. It's definitely false. It's an out-and-out lie!"
"Even if it's true, so what? It was forty thousand years ago. Who cares? Who cares? I only want to know what we are going to do next. Are we going to follow the rebels to the base of the Blade of Chaos obediently and be at their mercy? "
"What else can we do? Do you think that they will send you back to the Kingdom of Lion Butchers respectfully? "
"Besides, look at us right now. Many of our brothers have the features of multiple demons. They are even more chaotic-blooded than the f * cking chaotic-blood demons! Many of our brothers have even been deprived of the last feature of demons. They have completely turned into human beings! "
"Even if they do let us go back to the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, do you dare go back with such an appearance? Do you dare? "
Desperate hums were hovering above everybody's head like mosquitoes that carried a fatal virus.
Suo Chaolong was crouching in a corner of the warehouse, staring at the floor in a daze.
There was a small ant on the floor, leisurely crawling away into the distance.
While he was looking at it, he suddenly felt agitated. He extended his finger, trying to crush the ant to death, but he could not poke it down after it was already in midair.
"Brother!"
One of his most trusted blue-haired lion demons said in a low voice. "Xiao Feng just left. Before he left, he asked us to cut off one of his fingers and bring it back to the Grand Desolate Plateau and bury it in the relic of the Hundred Mist Demon City. That place … was his hometown.
"Now, there are a total of 423 brothers left. Twelve of them may not make it through today."
"Got it."
Suo Chaolong said softly, "Just do as Xiao Feng said. If any of our brothers are gone, cut off one of their fingers and give them to me."
His dark gold eyes glittered, as if the mission that he was going to carry out was the only meaning of his life. Suo Chaolong lowered his voice and gnashed his teeth. "I swear that I will bring them back to the Grand Desolate Plateau and their hometown one day."
"Brother."
The blue-haired lion demon hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think that 'Vulture Li Yao' was telling the truth? That our ancestors were all human beings?"
Suo Chaolong looked at him and asked back, "Does it matter?"
The blue-haired lion demon was dazed for a moment. His natural reaction was to blurt out, "Does it not matter?"
This was related to their origins, their identities, and who they really were! How could it not matter?
But on second thought, it did not seem to be that important.
Human beings or demons, so what? Would it be of any help to solve their current predicament?
The blue-haired lion demon was deeply confused. He mumbled, "Brother, there were more than thirty thousand demons that fled to the Blood Demon Sector from the Heaven's Origin Sector in their heyday. But today, hundreds of years later, including our family, there are only slightly more than a thousand of them left. Among the elites, only four hundred of us are left. What should we do?
In front of Suo Chaolong, the ant seemed to have sensed the vibration of their conversation. It turned around and crawled toward him.
His finger, which had been about to crush the ant, turned into a bridge and twisted the ant.
The ant was crawling hard in his palm.
Suo Chaolong kept changing his hand gestures, making the ant fall into the center of his palm again and again.
However, the ants were not discouraged at all. They continued to crawl slowly.
Suo Chaolong stared at it in a daze. He suddenly envied the ant, because the ant certainly did not know what desperation was.
Right then, Suo Chaolong's pupils constricted abruptly, and his eyes turned sharp.
He sensed the most intimidating demonic energy!
It was an expert on par with the demon emperor level!
What's going on? The Fire Ant has overdrawn his vitality and is in the middle of recovery. It is impossible for him to emit such intense demonic energy!
Has the enemy caught up with us?
In an instant, the dejected air around Suo Chaolong was swept away. He leaped up from the ground, bared his sharp canine teeth, and silently made a hand gesture. "Prepare to fight!"
"Shua!"
The warriors of the Blood Lion Battalion, who had been moaning and complaining to each other a second ago, all had their hair standing on end the next second. They arched their backs and bulged their eyes, increasing their killing intent to the maximum!
They all sensed that the enormous, almost tangible demonic energy, which made it hard for them to breathe, was flooding in from the gate like a flood that had blown up the sluice gate!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The enemy did not make any footsteps, but they felt that an unparalleled ferocious beast was stomping on their hearts brutally. Many people's eyelids were twitching, and cold sweat was popping up on their foreheads. They held their chests and breathed hard.
The source of the powerful demonic energy that slowly appeared at the gate, however, dumbfounded them. Many of them exclaimed in shock, "Vulture Li Yao!"
It was the brutal man who had taken away Skeleton Dragon, an unparalleled ferocious demon from forty thousand years ago!
But …
Was he not a Cultivator? Why was he releasing such intense demonic energy? Also, his appearance …
At this moment, Li Yao was not wearing the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. On the contrary, he had activated the primeval cells inside his body and displayed the most brutal side of himself.
Dangerous redness was beaming out of his left eye like the crater of a volcano that was filled with magma. A row of narrow, long bone blades grew out of his left arm and extended all the way to the back of his hand like a glamorous suit of armor. Intense demonic energy was flowing out of the lens at the center of his palm, which was used to launch the Cell Obliteration Cannons.
Even the air was distorted, causing his figure to seem as if it was enveloped in a faint mist, causing him to seem unfathomable, mysterious, and powerful!
