"Commander Heng Jiang?"
Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared and berated him, no matter how foolish Zhang Xuan was, it was clear that the other party was talking to him.
It turned out that the Commander he was impersonating was called Heng Jiang.
Zhang Xuan raised his head to take a closer look at the other party, and he noticed that the other party was also a Great Sage 4-dan Sempiternal realm expert!
Didn't they say that there were only seven Great Sage cultivators?
Where did the other party come from?
"The seal …"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he came to a realization.
If he was not mistaken, the other party was the reinforcements who had arrived after the seal was broken!
Of all times, the other party had arrived right after he was done preparing … This was way too much of a coincidence!
However, even if the other party was a Sempiternal realm expert, it would still be difficult for him to notice that he was an impersonator.
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan did not show the slightest hint of panic on his face. Instead, his eyebrows shot up as he asked, "Why? Do I need to report my actions to you?"
"You!"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon harrumphed coldly. He flicked his wrist and took out a golden paper. "Sovereign Chen Yong has issued an order to halt all attacks and retreat!"
"Retreat?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The Sovereign Chen Yong that the black-armored Otherworldly Demon was referring to was the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … Why would they suddenly turn back when so many of them had rushed into the Subterranean Gallery?
"That's right. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and reorganize your troops!"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon bellowed as he tossed the golden paper over to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan caught the paper and saw that it was indeed written in the language of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"This …" Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before stowing the imperial edict into his storage ring. "Wait a moment. I have something that I need to show you."
"Hmm?"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon frowned.
"I've found another use for these artifacts of the seers. Once they're activated, they'll be imbued with incomparable prowess. In the future, they'll be able to deal with humans with ease. Even Half-Ancient Sage experts won't be able to withstand a single blow from them!"
Zhang Xuan said with a confident smile.
"Even Half-Ancient Sages will be unable to withstand a single blow?"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon could not believe what he was hearing.
Ordinary soldiers might not have been able to recognize these mirrors, but Zhang Xuan did. They were artifacts of the Seer Guild, and they could only be used to conceal one's aura. Furthermore, they had to be placed in a specific location in order to do so. What kind of use could they possibly have? How could they possibly be capable of killing even Half-Ancient Sages?
"That's right. You can try it yourself. After you're done, we'll withdraw our troops …"
Zhang Xuan nodded sincerely.
"Alright, let's see what you're up to!"
The black-armored man looked over in confusion, but in the end, he nodded.
He was here to issue an order, and now that the order had been passed down, the other party had obeyed. If there were any new discoveries, there was no harm in taking a look.
Considering how there were so many Otherworldly Demon soldiers, and the fact that the other party was a Commander, it was unlikely that he would be able to pull off any tricks.
"It's very simple. Just like these soldiers, pick a random mirror and touch it with your hand!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
After a moment of hesitation, the armored man nodded. He found a mirror and stretched his hand over it.
It was not that he was a fool, making it easier to fool him. Rather, he could never have imagined that the person before him was not Heng Jiang but a fake.
Besides, seers were not a combat-oriented occupation. Their artifacts only had the effect of concealing them from the heavens. Even if something were to happen, with their strength, they would be able to avoid it easily.
"Since everyone is ready, let's begin!"
Seeing that the expert who had just arrived had already placed his hand on the mirror, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to activate the Library of Heaven's Path, a gust of wind suddenly blew past him.
Another whistling sound was heard, and another figure flew over.
"Heng Jiang, heed my command! Sovereign Chen Ling has issued an order to attack immediately!"
While the figure was still in the air, he flipped open a yellow page and bellowed.
It was a Sempiternal realm expert as well.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan blinked in shock. It was just a moment ago that the black-armored man ordered them to halt their attacks, and now, they were going to attack right away? Were they here to cause trouble?
No, that's not right. It was Sovereign Chen Yong earlier, and now, it's Sovereign Chen Ling. There isn't a single Sovereign among the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … Could it be that the Sovereigns disagree with one another?
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
It was just a moment ago that the Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were retreating, and yet, another one suddenly appeared and ordered them to attack … Why were the Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe so unreliable as well?
"Mou Wu, I have just received an order from Sovereign Chen Yong to retreat. What do you mean by this?"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon asked with an awful look on his face.
He had just issued an order when the black-armored Otherworldly Demon suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It's nothing much. I'm just following orders. Heng Jiang, what are you waiting for?"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon named Mou Wu said as he flicked his wrist, and another imperial edict fell from the air.
Zhang Xuan took the imperial edict and saw that it was filled with the language of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Just as the black-armored Otherworldly Demon had said, it was indeed an order for him to mobilize his troops right away.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan blinked in shock.
"Heng Jiang, don't listen to him! Retreat right away! Sovereign Chen Yong is the number one Sovereign of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and he's loyal to the Spirit God. Do you want to be executed for disobeying his orders? "
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon bellowed upon seeing Zhang Xuan's hesitation.
"Sovereign Chen Yong is the number one Sovereign of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but the Temple of Confucius is about to open. We have put in so much effort to break the seal, so how can we retreat just like that? How can we face our friends who have sacrificed their lives for this? "
Mou Wu bellowed.
"Since Sovereign Chen Yong has issued such an order, he must have reported it to the Spirit God. Are you intending to go against the will of the Spirit God?"
"I dare not go against the will of the Spirit God, but there is something fishy about this matter. I'd rather listen to Sovereign Chen Ling!"
The two of them began arguing with one another.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and stepped in to mediate.
"How about this? Regardless of whether it's Sovereign Chen Yong or Sovereign Chen Ling's orders, we shouldn't be in a hurry to obey them.
The orders of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe shouldn't be given to us … "Zhang Xuan walked up to the black-armored Otherworldly Demon and said with a smile," Why don't we do this instead? Why don't I show you the results of my research? "
"Results?"
Mou Wu was perplexed.
"That's right. I discovered that a seer artifact possesses incredible offensive prowess when used in conjunction with a unique method. It's capable of wiping out an entire city or even an entire clan with ease. Brother Mou Wu, if you're interested, you can follow my soldiers and find a mirror to touch with your hand. I'll show you the results of my research!"
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"Touch with a mirror? A seer artifact? "
Mou Wu asked doubtfully. Only then did he realize that all of the soldiers were touching their mirrors with excited looks on their faces.
Even the black-armored Otherworldly Demon was standing beside a mirror and placing his hand on it.
"Indeed! This is a great discovery! If you can really use this opportunity to wipe out the entire human race, Sovereign Chen Ling will surely place you in an even higher position. You won't be able to avoid being rewarded!"
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"Alright then!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, Mou Wu nodded without any hesitation. He found a mirror and placed his hand on it.
"Everyone, get ready. Keep a smile on your faces. Three, two, one …"
Zhang Xuan raised his hand and exclaimed happily, "Eggplant!"
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha kacha!
All of the soldiers, including Mou Wu and the black-armored Otherworldly Demon, felt their hair standing on end as white smoke rose from their bodies.
