The demons did not reject Gu Changqing's request.
The Heavenly Demon Temple existed to defend against the Human Emperor.
Now that the Human Emperor had fallen, there was no need for the twelve Demon Saints to guard the Heavenly Demon Temple.
So.
The Heavenly Demon Temple not only agreed to send two Demon Saints to help.
In the Marquis of Qianshan's residence.
In the banquet hall.
One of them was Marquis of Qianshan, Gu Changqing, and the other was Bu Tianhua. There were two others.
Bu Tianhua introduced, "Marquis, this time, our clan heard of your request and specially sent two Beast Saints to assist you."
Speaking of this.
He pointed to a silver-haired middle-aged man and said respectfully, "This is Eagle Saint."
Then he pointed to a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and said, "This is Ghost Saint!"
During the introduction.
The two Monster Saints saluted Gu Changqing as if they were ordinary people.
In response.
Gu Changqing returned the salute and smiled faintly. "Greetings, Demon Saints."
"Marquis, you're too polite!" Ghost Saint smiled.
"When will the Thousand Mountains Prefecture need me to make a move?"
Sage Eagle asked calmly with an indifferent expression.
Gu Changqing said, "Since the two Demon Saints are here, our army can attack immediately. However, the relationship between the humans and the demons is delicate now. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you two should stay in the army."
"If the Great Zhao Empire sends out a mighty figure, we'll need your help."
There was nothing wrong with this statement.
The Eagle Saint and the Ghost Saint didn't say anything either.
Just as Gu Changqing said, the humans and the demons were not on good terms. If their identities were exposed, Thousand Mountains Prefecture would instantly become the target of public criticism.
As for the other party's concerns, the two Demon Saints now understood.
The banquet was simple and there was not much publicity.
After the banquet, Gu Changqing sent people to settle the two Demon Saints down.
"What do you think of Gu Changqing, Eagle Saint?"
"He's not bad. He's at least a cultivator above the fifth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, but I don't know if he's a mighty figure." Eagle Saint shook his head. His expression did not change much.
Although he sounded uncertain, he did not think that Gu Changqing could really become a mighty figure.
To a Demon Saint.
If he was not a mighty figure of the human race, he was not worthy of his attention.
If it were not for the fact that Gu Changqing controlled the Thousand Mountains Prefecture and had a lot of power in his hands, he would not even give Gu Changqing face.
The Ghost Saint said: "The human race is no longer the same as before. If it wasn't for the appearance of Xi Yingtian, this world would have belonged to my demon race."
"Watch your words!"
"Eagle Sage, you are too cautious. Those powerful cultivators have long since fallen. What is there to fear? Even if they reincarnate, we of the Demon Clan have nothing to fear."
"It's always good to be careful, to avoid being tainted by too much karma."
Eagle Sage shook his head, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic any further.
However, he agreed with the Ghost Saint's words.
The strength of the Demon Clan had never been weak since ancient times. First level Demon Saints had always been the top experts of the Demon Clan.
She used to be.
It was the same now.
With his status as a Demon Sage, he indeed didn't need to worry too much.
In the world.
Unless it was someone at the level of a Human Sovereign or a Demon Sovereign, there was no one worth being afraid of.
After the two Demon Saints arrived.
A fierce battle broke out on the Thousand Mountains Prefecture's side.
As if he had the support of the two Demon Saints, Gu Changqing suddenly became very confident. He no longer had any scruples in his actions. Instead, he waged war on all fronts and officially seized control of the Thousand Mountains Prefecture.
In the face of the rebel army's attacks.
The imperial court also responded.
However, compared to Gu Changqing who had been running the Thousand Mountains Prefecture for hundreds of years, the imperial court's army was still at a disadvantage.
Even with Yan Caizhe's command, they could only retreat. In the end, they switched from offense to defense, trying to forcibly stabilize the situation in the Thousand Mountains Prefecture.
As for the players.
After the imperial court issued the mission to suppress the Demonic Disaster, 90% of the players fought with the Demonic Disaster all day long.
This was a very normal thing.
After all, there were not many missions that lasted as long as suppressing the Demonic Disaster and had such generous rewards.
This was because there were simply too many players.
There were so many that the competition to accept a mission was fierce.
Therefore, many players devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the Imperial Court's quests.
As for the players.
At this stage, they could only fight on a small scale in the Ordinary Realm. Compared to the imperial court or the rebel army, the players' strength was nothing.
Now, Qin Shujian was wholeheartedly focused on the great cause of exterminating the evil demons.
In a True Dominion, an intense battle was breaking out.
A huge array was set up.
Three giants that were hundreds of feet tall fought with each other, causing a huge commotion that shook the surroundings.
Boom!
The evil demons retreated. Qin Shujian activated the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to its current limit, causing his strength to soar.
Even though he was fighting one against two, he still had the upper hand.
As for the two demons, they were in a state of confusion.
Ever since they had met Qin Shujian, they had felt as if they were living in a dream. The Evil Demon Race, which was known to be unrivaled among those of the same level, was now in the hands of a human. He was fighting one against two without any ability to fight back.
It was hard for anyone to accept such a difference.
"You deserve to die, human!"
The evil demon roared like a ferocious beast. Then, the power of the entire Devil Earth was drawn over, causing the aura on his body to soar, causing the void to buzz.
Upon seeing this scene …
Qin Shujian's eyes flashed coldly. He used his hand as a saber and slashed out. A terrifying wave instantly spread out.
Spirit Severing!
In the face of this saber, the evil demon felt its Spirit God tremble, as if it had encountered a powerful attack. This caused its absorption of the Devil Earth's power to pause for a moment.
But that was all.
Although Spirit Severing could directly kill a Spirit God, Qin Shujian's current strength was not at the level where it could kill a Heavenly Man or Spirit God.
Just being able to shake it a little was already an indication of his extraordinary strength.
To this …
Qin Shujian felt a little regretful.
Among the three Divine Ascension martial arts, this Spirit Severing technique was the least useful.
Whether it was the Nine Tribulations Immortal Body or the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, they complemented each other's strength.
Spirit Severing, however, did not.
This Divine Ascension martial art was completely based on the cultivator's body.
If one's strength was insufficient, using this martial art would be the same as what was happening right now. It wouldn't have much effect.
But for him, temporarily hindering the evil demon's movements was enough.
Great Desolation Devil Suppression Seal!
As the seal struck out, the True Intent of Sealing erupted.
The evil demon instantly felt the power within its body stagnate, as if it had encountered some kind of terrifying seal.
"True Intent!"
Boom!
Without waiting for the evil demon to speak, Qin Shujian had already punched out, shattering its body.
Everything happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint.
Only when the first evil spirit retreated did the other evil spirit react.
Soon …
The other evil demon immediately attacked, attempting to neutralize Qin Shujian's attack.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian swiped his right hand in the air. It seemed as if something within the great formation had been touched.
In an instant …
One could only see the stars moving and the void changing.
The entire great formation split into two, swallowing the evil demon.
Within the formation, Qin Shujian was the absolute master.
As long as he wanted to, he could split the formation at any time, separating the unnecessary opponents.
In this situation, either he had absolute power to break the formation, or he had the means to do so. Apart from these two, he could only obediently endure.
"From now on, there's nothing else to disturb me!"
After Qin Shujian split the evil spirit apart, his gaze fell on the evil spirit in front of him. Soon after, a smile appeared on his face that he believed to be amiable.
But in the evil demon's eyes, this smile sent a chill down its spine.
Next …
The battle began once again.
When the two evil demons joined forces, they were still no match for Qin Shujian. Now that there was only one left, there was even less of a chance for them to fight back.
From the beginning of the battle to the end, it only took a little more than ten minutes.
When the Red Lotus Of Purgation ignited …
The evil demon let out a mournful howl and finally died.
After this evil demon died, Qin Shujian activated the formation once again, releasing the other evil demon.
"You killed him!" After seeing Qin Shujian, Evil Lord Shi Rong's eyes were filled with shock.
Just a moment ago, he had sensed the aura of the other evil demon disappear.
At that moment …
Evil Lord Shi Rong could smell the scent of death.
But as far as he knew, the only one who could kill an evil demon was Zu Bing.
But on Qin Shujian, he could not sense Zu Bing's aura.
So …
Even though some bad thoughts arose in Evil Lord Shi Rong's mind, he did not think too much about it.
As for what would happen next, he was mentally prepared.
"Human, today, I've fallen in your hands. When I get out of the Demon Abyss, I'll have a real showdown with you."
Evil Lord Shi Rong was not too afraid of death.
At most, he would return to that dark place of the Demon Abyss.
Even though he had stayed there for countless years, it was somewhat unbearable.
But for him, it wasn't something that was hard to accept.
In response to Evil Lord Shi Rong's threat, the Red Lotus of Delusion ignited in Qin Shujian's hand. He calmly said, "If you have the chance to return to the Devil Abyss, I, Qin, will respectfully await your arrival."
As his words fell …
Red Lotus appeared.
Evil Lord Shi Rong did not resist. He could not be bothered to put up a futile struggle.
Since he could not win, he might as well accept his fate.
But …
When he touched the Red Lotus of Delusion Fragmentation, the expression on his face, which was originally unafraid of death, suddenly changed.
"What in the world is this?!"
The moment Evil Lord Shi Rong touched the Red Lotus Of Purgation, he could feel his entire body melting away. That melting was not just a simple melting, but an eternal disappearance.
This feeling …
It gave him a feeling of impending doom.
He was truly going to die.
Even with the Demon Abyss behind him, there was no chance for him to revive.
If he had known that Qin Shujian had such a killing weapon in his hands, Evil Lord Shi Rong would definitely not have accepted his death so obediently.
But it was too late to say anything now.
After the Red Lotus Of Purgation was ignited, his Demon Qi had been exhausted. He did not have any extra strength to extinguish this power. He could only let the red lotus burn and devour it completely.
A minute or two passed.
Evil Lord Shi Rong had completely disappeared, leaving only a red lotus floating in the air.
Then, Qin Shujian stretched out his hand and sucked in the two red lotuses.
These two demons.
One was a second-level Celestial Being, while the other was a third-level Celestial Being. The life source that the two of them contributed was exactly one hundred million points.
And after devouring the two Celestial Beings, his strength had increased by a lot.
"Soon, I should be able to accumulate enough life source to upgrade to the fourth level of the Guiyuan Ancestral Classic!"
"Based on the current speed, I should be able to reach the peak of the Divine Martial Realm or even break through to the Celestial Being Realm in a month or two."
Combining his own situation, Qin Shujian had a rough estimate.
On the other side.
While Qin Shujian was constantly hunting down the demons, the experts of the Imperial Court were dealing with the Devil Disaster in other regions.
Although the Imperial Court had deployed many of its troops to suppress the Devil Disaster, the top-notch experts who were dealing with the demons were not deployed.
On the contrary …
In order to kill as many demons as possible, the Imperial Court deployed even more Celestial Being experts.
A long spear pierced the sky.
Dan Hao transformed into a golden-armored Divine General and was engaged in an intense battle with an evil demon.
As one of the Five Great Generals of the Imperial Court, his strength was not ordinary even though he had not attained the Almighty Realm.
Even though he was suppressed by the True Dominion …
Dan Hao was still able to crush an ordinary evil demon.
As his body grew bigger, the weapon in his hand also changed along with his body. The long spear, which was nearly 100 feet long, swept across and struck, causing the void to tremble. When the spear landed, it easily shattered the mountain rocks.
Roar!
A tyrannical roar was heard as the Demon Qi surged like black clouds. The evil demon controlled the Demon Qi and was not at a disadvantage against Dan Hao's attack.
"Human, your strength is not weak. Why don't you submit to the Demon Abyss and have a chance to live forever?"
"Hmph, a group of worms that rely on the Demon Abyss to survive. How dare you ask me to submit to you?"
Dan Hao smiled disdainfully, but his attacks became more and more fierce.
He was not tempted by the eternal life that the evil demon mentioned.
After all …
Eternal life also came with a price.
Although the evil demon was immortal, the price was to be imprisoned in the Demon Abyss forever. Only by coincidence could he be qualified to leave the Demon Abyss and go to other worlds.
It could be said that …
When the evil demon obtained eternal life, he would be bound by the Demon Abyss forever.
Dan Hao only felt disdain for the eternal life that was exchanged for freedom.
Hearing that …
The evil demon was not angry, but shook his head and said, "Mortals will always be mortals. They can't understand the use of eternal life."
"If I want eternal life, I can do it alone. Why should I submit to the Demon Abyss?"
"Arrogant. Even the Human Emperor can't live forever. Do you think you are stronger than the Human Emperor?"
"Although not as strong as the Human Emperor, it is enough to kill you!"
Dan Hao did not intend to continue the evil demon's words.
While the two were talking, the attacks in their hands did not stop.
The two bodies that were hundreds of feet tall and looked like small mountains were fighting. The aftermath of the battle had already flattened everything around them. Only the ground was cracked, leaving behind indelible cracks.
Both sides were not weak.
In terms of real realm, Dan Hao might be a level higher than the evil demon in front of him.
However, in the Demon Abyss's home ground, this advantage was reduced to a negligible level.
Boom!!
The fierce battle lasted for half a day, and neither side gained any advantage.
Dan Hao relied on his strength to remain undefeated.
On the other hand, the evil demon relied on the almost endless Demon Qi to recover from his injuries, making him invincible.
"Someone is coming!"
He thrust his spear, and the spear cut through the void and forced the evil demon to retreat. Dan Hao frowned slightly and looked in a direction to the side.
The aura that came from afar made him feel a little pressured.
Moreover, this aura …
He also felt a sense of déjà vu.
Déjà vu!?
The moment this thought came to his mind, Dan Hao was also puzzled.
'Could it be that the imperial court has sent another Heavenly Being to help me?'
That was the first thought that came to his mind.
It was a familiar aura.
It could make him feel pressured.
Then, the person who came was definitely not weak. At least, he was at the fourth tier of the Heavenly Being realm.
The only people who could make him feel a sense of familiarity were people he had met in the past.
However …
Dan Hao asked himself. Among the experts at the fourth tier of the Heavenly Being realm that he had met, apart from his colleagues in the imperial court, there were no others.
However, among these people …
He remembered every wisp of aura clearly. Compared to the aura in front of him, it did not match at all.
Dan Hao was puzzled.
The evil demon was the same.
Dan Hao alone was already difficult for it to deal with. Now that there was another expert of the same level, the situation suddenly tilted in its favor.
At this moment …
The evil demon was already considering if it should take the opportunity to retreat.
With Dan Hao's current strength, if it wanted to leave, the evil demon would not be able to stop it.
With that thought …
The evil demon did not hesitate. It immediately rose to its feet and ran quickly into the distance.
"Want to leave? It's too late!" Dan Hao sneered. Now, he did not care who the person was. Anyway, it was one of them.
This evil demon also felt threatened, which was why it wanted to turn and run.
If the other party was allowed to escape, it would be a huge hidden danger.
If a powerful evil demon went to the Spirit Domain or the major domains, it would definitely be a situation of misery and suffering.
Therefore …
No matter what, Dan Hao would not allow the other party to leave just like that.
Boom!
The ten-foot long spear fell like a mountain, bombarding the evil demon heavily.
When the long spear crushed the void, there was a shocking explosion in the air.
Under the pressure of the power, before the spear body smashed down, the terrifying pressure had already attacked.
In response, the evil demon had to stop temporarily. It punched out with Demonic Qi. The fist aura collided with the long spear, and a strong aftershock spread out.
Then, its body shook, and it took advantage of the recoil to pull away again.
Seeing that the evil demon was about to escape …
Suddenly, a stream of light shot over from afar. Before it completely stopped, dozens of cold flashes shot out. Then, a huge array landed and surrounded the evil demon.
The sudden unforeseen event made Dan Hao have no choice but to temporarily stop.
The evil demon in front of him had disappeared. There was only a subtle force lingering in the empty space.
He was very familiar with this scene. It was the power of an array formation.
Then, he looked at the figure that appeared after the stream of light disappeared. He did not look surprised. "Sect Master Qin!"
"General Dan!"
Qin Shujian cupped his hands in the air and said with a faint smile.
Dan Hao's hundred-foot body dissipated and returned to its normal size. There was also a faint smile on his face. "I was wondering which expert had come to make the evil demon flee. It's actually Sect Master Qin."
He was no stranger to Qin Shujian.
Back in the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain, Dan Hao had been paying attention to this Array Formation Grandmaster.
When he had found out that Qin Shujian had condensed four Universal Heavenly Locks to break through the shackles of the True Dominion and attain the Spirit Martial Realm, he had not underestimated him.
The Imperial Court had invited Qin Shujian to help in the fight against the Demon Disaster.
This was something.
Dan Hao knew about it too.
If he had not been sure who this person was when he had sensed the familiar aura, he had already gotten the answer when he saw the array formation.
However, he was surprised that Qin Shujian had come at such a coincidental time.
Dan Hao did not think too much about it. Instead, he said, "Sect Master Qin, you have come at the right time. If we join forces, we will definitely kill this evil demon."
"I alone am enough to deal with this evil demon. There is no need to trouble General Dan."
"It's not that I don't believe you, Sect Master Qin. However, this evil demon is of great importance. We definitely cannot let it escape."
Dan Hao said seriously.
Qin Shujian could not find a reason to reject Dan Hao's insistence.
Thus, he had no choice but to release the array formation and let Dan Hao and him enter together.
After entering the array formation, Qin Shujian immediately said, "General Dan, please hold the line. If I am no match for you, you can help me."
"That's good too." Upon hearing this, Dan Hao did not reject him.
He also wanted to see how powerful a cultivator who had condensed four Universal Heavenly Locks was in the True Dominion.
Was he really comparable to a top-notch almighty like the rumors said?
After receiving Dan Hao's reply …
Qin Shujian immediately executed the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. His body became more than 300 feet tall. The four Universal Heavenly Locks pierced the void and a vast aura spread out.
When he sensed this aura, Dan Hao was shocked.
All the hair on his body stood on end as though he had encountered a terrifying existence.
However, before he could be shocked …
He saw Qin Shujian punch out. The evil demon had just raised his hand when he was sent flying by this violent force. His valiant body cracked and blood gushed out crazily.
Sss!
When Dan Hao saw this, he gasped silently.
He knew that Qin Shujian was very powerful in the True Dominion.
However, he had never expected him to be so powerful.
An evil spirit that wasn't much weaker than him was sent flying in a single exchange. Furthermore, it seemed to have sustained heavy injuries.
This kind of strength was completely overwhelming.
This also meant that if he had been in the evil demon's place, he would definitely not have been Qin Shujian's match in the True Dominion.
"This is a cultivator who has condensed four Universal Heavenly Locks? He is really terrifying!"
Dan Hao's thoughts churned.
Meanwhile, the evil demon was also completely suppressed. However, after a few minutes of fighting, it was severely injured by that violent force. It was already lying on the ground, struggling with all its might. It could not even get up.
Upon seeing this …
Dan Hao did not have time to think too much. He immediately shouted, "Sect Master Qin, please wait!"
"Huh?" Qin Shujian had originally planned to divide the array formation and separate the evil demon from Dan Hao. Then, he would refine the evil demon alone.
However, after hearing Dan Hao's words, he instinctively paused.
