To the north of Tongtian Province, after crossing an invisible sky curtain, all living things came back to life. Demon cities towered between the mountains and valleys. Pedestrians came and went in an endless stream. There were Winged Hunters out hunting, and human farmers with hoes on their shoulders. In the past few years, the demon race had constantly migrated from Tongtian Province and Lingdong Province, and humans moved to Tongtian Gorge. Now, this endless gorge had become a place where the demon race and humans lived together.
Half a year ago, the Demon King issued the "Holy Demon Code", drawing up a treaty between the demon race and humans. No demon race could attack humans without permission, and no human race could attack the demon race without permission. Since then, the Tongtian Gorge, which was like spring all year round, had become a fertile field, flourishing day by day.
Shendu, a splendid capital city stood between the mountains on the east side of Tongtian Gorge. A large number of high-level demon soldiers were stationed here, and there were even dozens of temporary sentry camps set up ten miles away from Shendu. Cavalry came and went constantly, and the earth-shaking roars of the Armor Demons could be heard from one side of the gorge.
A cool breeze blew past, causing his cloak to flutter. QianFeng wore a golden cloak, his hand on the sword at his waist. His starry eyes watched the demon race training in the gorge, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Beside him, Lian Fu said, "Marshal, why are you sighing?"
QianFeng pointed at the tens of thousands of Armor Demons training in the gorge. "Can such strong shields and sharp blades really block the human's magic crystal cannons?"
"This …"
Lian Fu nodded and muttered, "We have to take it step by step. Marshal, this subordinate has already sent some high-level gods who are proficient in human dialects into the territory of Lanyan City. As long as there is a chance, we will definitely obtain some technical information about the magic crystal cannons. If we can also master the magic crystal cannons, why should we fear the Empire?"
"The Empire is growing stronger day by day. The Yihe Nation has been destroyed, and the God Race will be the Empire's number one enemy. The Empire is also our only enemy on this continent."
QianFeng rubbed his temples, looking a little tired. "Is there any news of Lin Muyu?"
"Yes." Lian Fu cupped his fists and said, "After Yaoji bewitched the witch Tang Xiaoxi in Bai Ling City and successfully killed Qin Yin, Lin Muyu rushed to the Scarlet Abyss. When she saw the remains of Qin Yin, she was very sad and destroyed herself in the Scarlet Abyss. Her body turned into stone, and now she has become a stone statue, sealed in the mountains. Marshal, you don't have to worry about her."
"Sigh …" QianFeng was at a loss. "Lin Muyu loved Qin Yin very much, and I also fell in love with Qin Yin at first sight, but … I couldn't stop the Divine Emperor and the Sacred Master's plan, and could only watch as Tang Xiaoxi killed Qin Yin. I … Am I not fit to talk about feelings with humans?"
"No, Marshal, you don't have to blame yourself. You are the Marshal of the God Race and bear the future of the God Race. Naturally, you can't let your emotions affect your decisions."
"Let's go. Let's go check on the Demoness."
"Yes!"
The two warhorses galloped towards the Divine Capital. Not long after, they arrived at the main hall. However, QianFeng and Lian Fu didn't enter the hall. Instead, they went around the door and came to the rock behind the hall. A group of guards saluted them. The moss-covered rock slowly opened up to reveal a secret door. QianFeng and Lian Fu went straight in.
After entering the secret room, a high-ranked demon held a torch and led the way. He respectfully said, "Marshal, His Majesty the Divine Emperor and the Sacred Master are also here …"
"Oh, that's for the best."
Twisting and turning until they reached the depths of the mountain, the front suddenly opened up. They saw stone statues that were several meters tall standing in the surroundings. Each of their faces were fierce and lifelike, just like a demon god descending to the world. It was said that these stone statues were the heroes of the ancient God Race. At least, that was what the ancient books said. Therefore, these demon gods naturally became the totem of the God Race.
Surrounded by dozens of totems, there was a huge azure crystal in the center of the hall. It was ten meters tall, and there were streams of fiery red energy surging within it. One could vaguely see a graceful girl imprisoned in the ice crystal. The fiery red energy seeped out along the ice crystal, and then was absorbed by a strange tube and sent to the other side of the mountain.
Two people stood under the crystal. One was the Divine Emperor, and the other was the heavily injured Sacred Master. The Sacred Master was sitting in a chair carried by two high-ranked demon soldiers.
"Marshal QianFeng has arrived!"
"Oh?"
The Divine Emperor turned around and put on a gentle smile. "QianFeng, you've arrived?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
QianFeng and Lian Jin knelt together and stood up. QianFeng looked at Tang Xiaoxi in the crystal and said, "Your Majesty, how's the refinement of the Demon Lady's power? It seems to be going well. "
The Divine Emperor smiled faintly, his eagle-like eyes gleaming with greed, "No, it's far from enough … Tang Xiaoxi is a Demoness fated by the heavens. The demonic energy in her body is endless, and only this kind of demonic energy can continue to nourish the demonic energy in the insectoid hive, allowing it to incubate the savage beasts from the other dimension for us. Unfortunately, the degree of refinement is far from enough. We can only use less than ten percent of Tang Xiaoxi's demonic energy."
"Is that so …"
Qian Feng raised his head and stared at Tang Xiaoxi, only to see her eyebrows tightly furrowed, as if she was enduring a great deal of pain. The energy in her body was slowly being sucked out, one could well imagine the pain. However, Qian Feng had been through hundreds of battles and had already honed a heart of steel. He said calmly, "As long as Tang Xiaoxi's mind is not clear, her ability to restrain the power in her body will become weaker and weaker. This powerful demonic power will definitely be used by us."
"Yes."
The Divine Emperor nodded. "Sacred Master, how's the Mind Manipulation Art?"
Sagemaster sat on the chair and slowly said, "Your Majesty, my ability is still not enough to restrain Tang Xiaoxi. Her Psyche Power and Heart Power are too strong, and the demonic power in her body far surpasses mine. I still need some time."
"Very well."
"Mind Manipulation Art?" QianFeng was surprised. "Sacred Master, are you trying to control Tang Xiaoxi's mind?"
"That's right."
The corners of the Sagemaster's mouth curled up, revealing a rather ferocious smile as he said, "Tang Xiaoxi has the Nine Tails of Destiny. Her tyrannical demonic energy is enough to move unhindered through the three realms and be unparalleled in the world. If this kind of power can be used by our God Race, its effect is no less than a hundred giant flying snakes and a hundred thousand armored demons!"
QianFeng was startled. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
The Demon King smiled. "QianFeng, I know you are kind, but the future of the Celestial Race is in our hands. Now is not the time to be merciful. Tang Xiaoxi is a human. It would be great if we could use her. Oh, is there any news from the Empire?"
"Yes."
QianFeng respectfully said, "The humans have conferred three kings. Qin Wang Lin Muyu, Xin Wang Feng Jixing, and Zhong Wang Qin Yan will rule the world together. However, Lin Muyu has turned into a rotten rock in the Crimson Blood Abyss. There is nothing to worry about. Now, we need to guard against the famous general Feng Jixing. In addition, Lin Muyu's subordinate Wei Chou has been conferred the title of Duke Wei. He will soon enter the Lingdong Province to deal with the Celestial Race. We have to guard against him. Wei Chou has been following Lin Muyu for a long time. He is well-versed in the art of war and has a strategic mind. This person must be eliminated."
The Demon King couldn't help but smile. "Sage Sovereign, did you hear that? Quickly practice your mind manipulation skill. We need Witch Tang Xiaoxi's power. Once she is used by the Celestial Race, her first mission is to head to the Lingdong Province and kill Duke Wei Wei Chou in front of everyone. This will chill the morale of the Empire and cause us to collapse! "
"Yes, this subordinate will definitely practice harder!"
"Go do what you need to do."
"Yes!"
After everyone dispersed, only the Nephilim King was left standing under the ice crystal. He stared fixedly at the unconscious Tang Xiaoxi in the ice crystal. Suddenly, the Nephilim King's voice became gentle and his face was filled with a demonic smile as he said, "Witch Tang Xiaoxi … Heh, humans call me Nephilim King, but I call you Witch. Our fate is really predestined. My good daughter, quickly wake up and conquer the world for your father. Reclaim the Middle-earth!"
…
In Lanyan City, the brilliant starlight shone down on the city. In a small courtyard of the Imperial Guards, a beautiful young lady stared at the swaying pomegranate tree in a daze. Her eyes were filled with indescribable loneliness and helplessness. The last battle between the Celestial Race and the humans was a year ago, but there was no news from the Tongtian Gorge. It was as if they had forgotten about her.
"Your Highness Ning 'er, Prince Xin Feng Jixing has come to visit," a maid said at the side.
"Alright, General Feng, please come to the hall for a chat."
"Yes."
Feng Jixing wasn't the only one who came. Duke Wei Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, Fengxi, Su Yu, and the others were also there.
"General Feng, is there news of my father?" Feng Ning 'er asked hopefully.
"No."
Feng Jixing cupped his fists and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness Ning 'er. This time around, I'm not here to send you to the Tongtian Gorge. Instead, I'm here to send you to the Lingdong Province's Winterfrost City."
"Oh, Winterfrost City?"
Feng Ning 'er was stunned. "Why are you sending me to Winterfrost City?"
"Because Winterfrost City is closer to the Immortal's Capital." Wei Chou smiled faintly. "We're worried that Your Highness is homesick. Therefore, Wei Chou will personally escort Your Highness Ning 'er to Winterfrost City. This way, it'll be more convenient for you to travel to and from the Tongtian Gorge. Perhaps … Your Highness Ning' er will even be able to see your father, whom you've been thinking about day and night!"
Feng Ning 'er instantly felt a chill in her heart. Although she was young and inexperienced, she had been imprisoned in Lanyan City for three years. How could she not know what kind of mutual deception was? Now that Feng Jixing and Wei Chou had said this, Feng Ning 'er immediately understood. She was only going to Winterfrost City as bait. Once the Devil Race learned that she was in Winterfrost City, they would definitely send an army to attack. Then, the Devil Race would definitely be greeted by countless Magic Crystal Cannons in the Longdan Army Camp. This was not a caring and considerate act, but a vicious plan to destroy the Devil Race.
"No, I'm used to life in Lanyan City. I don't want to leave anymore," Feng Ning 'er said.
"That's not up to Your Highness."
Feng Jixing slowly stood up and said, "We'll set off tomorrow morning. Your Highness Ning 'er will follow Duke Wei and the army to Winterfrost City."
"Yes!"
Everyone cupped their fists and Feng Ning 'er could only smile bitterly.
"Then, where is Commander Yu?"
She suddenly asked.
