"Alliance?"
Ren Qingyuan was taken aback.
"Based on the news I received, the other party has gathered a hundred thousand soldiers. Once they fulfill their promise, they'll launch an attack at any moment … If I'm not mistaken, it's the Mingshi Tang Subterranean Gallery!"
Jiang Fangyou said confidently.
"Most of the Great Sage pinnacle grand elders of Mingshi Tang have gone to the Temple of Confucius, and the ordinary master teachers are scattered all over the Subterranean Gallery. Even if they were to gather all of them, their cultivation wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the Teleportation Formation.
Ren Qingyuan frowned.
If the news was true, the danger that they were in was simply too great.
For the time being, even he was at a loss as to what to do.
"I know that this concerns the life and death of mankind, so I brought the top-notch experts of my clan along with Brother Luo to assist the Mingshi Tang Subterranean Gallery!"
Jiang Fangyou said.
"I'll be troubling you then, Brother Jiang. Since that's the case, let's not delay any further. We'll discuss the details of the battle once we enter the Subterranean Gallery. Otherwise, I fear that the other party might have already launched an attack before we can even come up with anything …"
Without any hesitation, Ren Qingyuan and the others hurriedly made their way into the Subterranean Gallery.
Similar to the Dracotiger Mountain Subterranean Gallery in the Zhang clan, there was a massive city behind the seal as well.
If the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe wanted to enter the Master Teacher Continent, they would have to pass through this city.
"What's the situation on the other side?"
Standing on the lookout, Ren Qingyuan glanced at a 9-star master teacher not too far away.
"There hasn't been any movement at all. We just received news from our scouts that all of the other party's soldiers have retreated to the back of the seal, seemingly plotting something. However, due to the killing intent in the ancient battlefield affecting one's mind, they didn't venture too deep into the Subterranean Gallery.
The Nine Stars master teacher said.
"Un."
Ren Qingyuan nodded.
The ancient battlefield where the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe resided was shrouded in a crimson moon, and the killing intent in the air was extremely concentrated. It wouldn't take long for ordinary master teachers to be corrupted by the killing intent, turning them into killing machines.
For this reason, most of the battles between mankind and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were focused on defense instead of offense.
Otherwise, there was no way Mingshi Tang would have allowed the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to grow so powerful over the past several dozen millenniums.
"It's not a good idea to just wait here. Since there aren't many people guarding the seal, I'd like to check it out personally so that everyone can make preparations in advance."
Jiang Fangyou contemplated for a moment before replying.
"Brother Jiang, I'll go with you. I've recently gained a new understanding of space. In terms of concealment, as long as one's strength doesn't surpass mine, it'll be very difficult to detect them!"
Luo Ganzhen stepped forward.
"This …"
Ren Qingyuan hesitated for a moment before instructing, "Arrange for all of the master teachers to be prepared for battle. Brother Jiang, Brother Luo, and I will head out to scout the area for a while before returning."
Scouts were unable to enter deep into the Ancient Battlefield, so the information they could obtain was limited. Since that was the case, he might as well go out himself.
"Deputy Pavilion Master …"
Many Nine Star Master Teachers tried to dissuade Zhang Xuan.
Interrupting the crowd's words, Ren Qingyuan made up his mind and said, "It's fine. With Brother Luo and Brother Jiang around, there shouldn't be much of a problem!"
Seeing his attitude, the crowd knew that there was nothing they could do about it, so they didn't say anything more.
Due to the urgency of the matter, the three of them quickly concealed themselves and rushed forward.
Soon, they arrived before the seal.
Just as Jiang Fangyou had said, the Otherworldly Demons were indeed not too guarded against them. The soldiers guarding the area were not too strong, so they were unable to notice their movements at all.
As soon as they entered the Ancient Battlefield, the killing intent immediately surged toward them. Knowing that the killing intent would seep into their bodies if they were to persevere for too long, the trio hastened their pace.
"There's a huge disturbance in the spiritual energy over there. Let's head over to take a look!"
After flying for a short distance, they suddenly sensed a disturbance in the spiritual energy in a certain area. The group glanced at one another before rushing over.
Even before arriving at the seal, the trio had already concealed their presence, fearing that they would be discovered by the other party.
It wasn't easy for them to get to the seal, and with a single glance, Ren Qingyuan's body swayed weakly, and he nearly fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's reaction, Jiang Fangyou asked doubtfully.
"Take a look for yourselves," Ren Qingyuan said with quivering lips.
Luo Ganzhen and Jiang Fangyou stood up and took a look as well, and their eyes widened in astonishment.
"Those people … are all dead?"
The valley before them was filled with the corpses of Otherworldly Demons.
They had spent a great deal of effort to guard against them, but the Otherworldly Demons had died before they could even come out. Just what in the world had happened?
"Let's head over to take a look!"
Since the Otherworldly Demons were already dead, there was nothing for them to fear anymore. Thus, they quickly flew over.
They flew a circle in the sky.
"The hundred thousand soldiers of Sovereign Chen Xing and Sovereign Chen Ling should be here as well. It seems like … they died in battle!" Jiang Fangyou's lips quivered as if he had seen a ghost.
The soul oracles hidden among the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had secretly sent a message to him, saying that the two Sovereigns would be able to defeat the Otherworldly Demons easily.
Upon hearing this news, he had been deeply worried, fearing that they would not be able to hold on. Yet, before they could even appear, they had all died … What the heck was going on?
Could anyone explain this to them?
"Could it be that the two Sovereigns didn't manage to come to an agreement regarding the alliance, and they ended up fighting one another here, resulting in a complete wipeout?" Luo Ganzhen asked.
As far-fetched as it sounded, he really could not think of a way to explain it.
"If the two Sovereigns were unwilling to give in to one another, it would have been impossible for them to be completely wiped out. Someone must have killed the remaining Otherworldly Demons here! Look, the several thousand Otherworldly Demons over there died in a similar manner. More than a thousand of them were smashed into meat paste by some kind of bizarre force, and more than a thousand of them had their hearts pierced through while the rest had their heads severed … "
Ren Qingyuan shook his head.
As a Nine Star master teacher, he had been able to observe the situation carefully. If the two experts were to fight one another, perhaps both of them might have died. However, for an army of a hundred thousand soldiers … without any external interference, it was unlikely that all of them would die.
"Pavilion Master Ren is right. Not only so, the equipment and resources of the hundred thousand soldiers have all disappeared, and there isn't a single storage ring on them either … Someone must have taken them!" Jiang Fangyou said.
Luo Ganzhen hurriedly turned his gaze over, and indeed, the hands of the Otherworldly Demons were completely bare. There was not a single storage ring on them at all. On top of that, there were also traces of fire around the tents, but there was no sign of any military equipment at all.
It was impossible for such a large army to not have any resources at all.
Since there was nothing at all, there could only be one explanation … Someone had already arrived, and it was highly likely that they were the culprits behind this battle.
Just that …
Who in the world possessed the ability to wipe out an army of a hundred thousand Otherworldly Demons in less than a day?
Hu!
At this moment, an aura suddenly swept over, and a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the valley.
