The High Priest was powerful to begin with. He had also subdued the five demon commanders under King Ying: Marquis Wei Zhentian, the Marquis of Guangling Zhang Xuyi, the Marquis of Weiyuan Xu Qiling, the Marquis of Dongxiang Ba Shendao, and the Marquis of Yongchang Bai Mengzhen. He had even killed Concubine Ming and gotten Marshal Ling Wei to use her body to plot against the Dragon King of the South Sea.
Now that several years had passed, he had already planned everything. The Dragon King of the South Sea had been plotted against by "Concubine Ming", and his health was deteriorating. Due to the High Priest's secret technique, his mind was not clear and he often spoke incoherently. Gradually, he could not even send out government orders from the South Sea Dragon Palace.
The Dragon King of the South Sea was originally a peak Demon Commander expert. He had also opened 72 Dao meridians and was one of the few people who stood at the peak of the Four Seas Map.
Even though he had been plotted against by the High Priest, it was not something that could be overturned in a short period of time. However, the South Sea was in a turbulent situation, and there were already many undercurrents.
Due to the High Priest's summons, only Marquis Wei Zhentian remained in Chaoge City. The other four demon commanders were summoned back to the South Sea. With the High Priest's insight, he naturally felt that the political strategy of the South Sea Dragon Palace was childish and laughable. The South Sea Dragon Palace naturally had the South Sea as its foundation. There was no need to care about the land. It was not even a big deal to throw it to the rebellious demons. As long as he could control the South Sea Dragon Palace, expanding the territory would be a piece of cake.
However, the great priest also understood that even if he gave up on these places, he could not accomplish everything in a single stroke. Once the rebelling Daemon Commanders felt that he was weak, they would gang up on him, which would greatly hinder the great plan. As a result, he left the Marquis of Heaven Shaking and Wei Zhentian in Chaoge city. However, he did not give the Marquis of Heaven Shaking any orders. He only told him to do as he pleased.
How could Marquis Wei Zhentian not understand the High Priest's thoughts?
Although his strength was extraordinary, he could not sweep through all directions. As a result, Chaoge City's power had been shrinking recently. He had almost given up all the places he had originally occupied, leaving only the area around Chaoge City that spanned thousands of kilometers.
The Seven Moon Cultivators hurried back to Zhaoge City. They were the subordinates of Marquis Zhentian, so they allowed Yiyi to return to Zhaoge City without arousing any suspicion.
Xu Liao and King Ying arrived at the outskirts of Zhaoge City a little later than the rest. The two of them made a plan and decided not to enter Zhaoge City. Instead, they decided to mix in with a group of rebel soldiers and work together with the Seven Friends of Yue Xiu from the inside.
The Turbid Sea King had other plans. The Dancing Bell King had a weak personality, so the main force of the rebel army besieging Zhaoge City could defeat the subordinates of the Sea King, Ten Thousand Miles Long Skies, and his wife, Thousand Years Crane.
After Wan Li Zhangkong obtained Xu Liao's help in deriving the Ten Transformations of the Vast Sky, he wholeheartedly wanted to break through to the peak of Daemon Commander and open the last Dao meridian. As a result, he did not personally take action and only sent his subordinates to attack cities and territories. Otherwise, the Marquis of Heaven Shaking would have fallen long ago.
Although the Marquis of Heaven Shaking had three Level One Divine Weapons, his cultivation base was too weak. He had only opened 36 Dao meridians, which was a far cry from the Sea King, Ten Thousand Miles Long Skies. Even Ten Thousand Miles Long Skies' wife, Thousand Years Crane, was much stronger than him.
The two Daemon Commanders did not take action personally, and the Marquis of Heaven Shaking did not want to get himself into trouble. Hence, he did not take action personally, lest he killed some small fries and lured Ten Thousand Miles Long Skies and Thousand Years Crane out.
Currently, the surroundings of Zhaoge City were filled with the flames of war, but they were all Daemon Generals and Daemon Kings fighting. Xu Liao and King Ying made a brief selection and joined the Five Northern Troops.
In the Four Seas Map, although the Dragon Race was already the supreme race, it was difficult for the Dragon Race to reproduce. Hence, they were not the most populous race. The most populous demon race was called the Five Tribes!
This demon was round in shape and was omnivorous. Moreover, the demon techniques passed down in the race could be cultivated to the level of Daemon Generals. Although the adult Five Tribes were at most peak Daemon Warriors, and there might not even be one in ten million that could grow to the level of Daemon King, Daemon Generals were even rarer. However, their reproduction rate was the best among the aquatic demons, and hence, they had a huge population. In the Four Seas Map, the number of demons in the Five Tribes was more than a billion.
This Five Northern Troops was the subordinate of Thousand Years Crane, and the leading Daemon General was called Daemon Great Works!
There were a million demon soldiers in the Five Tribes. Although more than 90% of them had yet to transform and could not be considered as demons, just this number alone was enough to stun people.
Another reason why Xu Liao and Prince Ying chose to mix into the Five Northern Troops was that Daemon Great Works coveted the size of his subordinates, and kept recruiting demons from different tribes. It was even overflowing, so it was the easiest to mix in.
Xu Liao and Ying Wang didn't even take half a day before they successfully infiltrated into the Northern Five Field Army. Because their demonic powers weren't weak, they were given the right to lead the army and were given two groups of demonic soldiers.
After receiving the demon soldiers, Xu Liao immediately kept them in Mount Yu Xiao and summoned a demon soldier from the Sky Concealing Array. Seeing his disciple like this, Prince Ying also asked for a demon soldier from Xu Liao, and sent his subordinates to Mount Yu Xiao.
Mount Yu Xiao had been refined countless times, and the artificial spiritual consciousness array had been refined from the outside all the way to the belly of the mountain. The entire mountain had turned into a huge artificial spiritual consciousness array. Although it did not have its own spiritual consciousness, its computing power was so strong that it was unbelievable. It far surpassed any supercomputer on Earth, and even the 18 immortal sects might not have such a huge computing artifact.
Mount Yu Xiao operated it at full power, and its computing power even surpassed that of Xu Liao who had mastered the fifth chapter of the Computational Canon of Nine Elements. It even played a part of the spirit of the Sky Concealing Array. The demon beasts that were kept in Mount Yu Xiao would immediately have their spiritual consciousness forcibly activated, and be planted into the array. Then, it would deduce their cultivation method and urge them to cultivate.
Therefore, the demon beasts that were sent into Mount Yu Xiao would be repeatedly forced by Mount Yu Xiao to use the Sky Concealing Array, even if their aptitudes were too poor. They would be forced to cultivate at all times, and there would be no way for them to stop.
The demon soldiers that were sent into Mount Yu Xiao by Xu Liao and Prince Ying were divided into dozens of teams. Beams of spiritual light descended, and the forced activation of spiritual consciousness was like the cruelest punishment. Those who had activated their spiritual consciousness were thrown into the mountain, and naturally, there would be people to take care of and train them. Those who had not activated their spiritual consciousness were thrown into the countless Virtual Worlds formed by the array in the mountain, and were used as food.
Xu Liao was not a humanitarian. When it came to subduing demons, he only cared about efficiency, and not humanity. Therefore, Mount Yu Xiao was now a huge "refining furnace". No matter how many demons were thrown into it, they would all be squeezed out of their potential using the cruelest methods.
Xu Liao did not even need to ask about the process himself, and Mount Yu Xiao would complete the task automatically.
After Xu Liao and Prince Ying exchanged demon soldiers, they immediately followed the order of the Demon Master and plundered the surroundings of Zhaoge City. The two of them were different from the other demons. Relying on their proficiency in the art of war, and their powerful demon power, they attacked the forces of Zhaoge City almost unscrupulously.
In just a month, the subordinates of the two of them had expanded to more than ten thousand demon soldiers, and became the most powerful army under the Demon Master.
