That fellow had been so arrogant earlier, smashing a massive ravine into the ground with a single palm strike. Even with the two of them working together, they were still no match for him. It was as if there was no cultivator in the world who was worthy of his attention.
They had thought that they would be able to eliminate the threat once and for all, but who could have thought that they would be killed in less than an incense's time?
Just what in the world had happened?
"Do you know what happened?" the Commander asked.
"Based on the news that we received, he wanted to take in a disciple, so he suppressed his cultivation and challenged a human to a duel. In the end, he fell for a trap and had his head crushed by that Donkey!"
The Commander explained with twitching lips.
He had no idea where the news came from, but since it was sent back, it was bound to be accurate.
"…" The Skyfall Demon Emperor's mouth fell open, but he was unable to utter a single word.
He had seen fools before, but he had never seen someone as foolish as that!
To suppress his cultivation and challenge a human to a duel … Wasn't that just courting death?
Pu!
Shaking his head, the Commander was just about to ask about the details when his face suddenly turned ghastly pale, and he spurted a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty …"
"The Demon Emperor Seal has been tamed …"
The Skyfall Demon Emperor's body trembled as he clenched his jaws tightly.
Even though the Scholar had taken the Demon Emperor Seal from him, he had not tamed it yet. However, his control over the artifact had been severed, and the soul he had left within it had been erased!
In other words, the artifact that symbolized the emperor of the Demon Tribe was no longer under his control!
"In less than an incense's time, she killed a Heavenly True Immortal tomb keeper and tamed the Demon Emperor Seal …" the Commander exclaimed in shock.
All along, he had thought that Gu Ling 'er and her three tamed beasts were not weak, but from the looks of it, he had underestimated them.
"What do we do now?"
"Inform the tribe that the Demon Emperor Seal has lost its effectiveness. If anyone appears with it, not only are we not to obey orders, we have to surround and kill them! The entire tribe must heed the commands of the Demon Emperor Sword! "
The Skyfall Demon Emperor said with a frenzied look in his eyes. "Also, summon more tomb keepers. Since one of them can't kill them, summon two. If two still can't kill them, summon four! I don't believe that she can be that powerful! "
"Yes!"
The commander nodded.
The Giant Demons were indeed at the end of their rope. There was no other way. They could only take a risk. If they succeeded, they would be able to completely solve the problem. If they failed, the worst that awaited them was death!
…
"Nearly all the spies in Dry Origin City have been killed. The bait plan has been successfully completed. There's no meaning in continuing to stay here …"
Seeing so many experts dying one after another, Gu Ling'er was in awe of the young man and the Three Beasts. At the same time, a thought popped up in her mind. "Should we make a trip to the Great Qian Royal City and fish out all of their spies?"
"How?" Qian Qi looked over.
The Qiankun Sect was the number one sect in the Great Qiankun Continent, and it was located right in front of the Great Qiankun Royal City. As such, Zhang Xuan was certain that there were many spies of the Giant Demon Tribe in the Royal City. However … they were all hidden very well. The Alliance had spent a lot of effort to find them, but they were still unable to do so.
Although Donkey and the tortoise had high cultivation, they didn't look very smart … It was almost impossible to count on them to help with the search.
"It's very simple. Senior, didn't you refine the Devil Emperor's Seal? As long as we can find the location where they exchange information, we can use the seal to forge a fake order, and we'll be able to gather all of them here and kill them all! "
Gu Ling'er said with a glint in her eyes.
She had always been a mischievous person. Wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't make good use of the Devil Emperor's Seal?
"This …" Qian Qi and the others were stunned for a moment before their eyes lit up.
It was indeed a good idea.
The Devil Emperor's Seal represented the identity of the Demon Emperor. It should be easy for them to gather all of the spies in the Great Qiankun Continent. By then, as long as they gathered the experts of the Great Qiankun Continent, they would be able to get rid of them easily.
Not just the Great Qian Royal City, but the Great Origin Royal City, Great Xuan Royal City, and Great Feng Royal City would be able to do the same as well.
"Since the Devil Emperor's Seal is so effective, it's a little overkill to use it only to bait a few spies. Besides, we can always get the sects to do the job. What if we forge a fake order to lure the army of the Giant Demon Tribe into an ambush or … lure them into a dangerous location? "
Yuan Hai interjected.
It would be much more effective to get the sects and the royal family to do the job. There was no need for them to overstep their boundaries.
"I have also thought about what you said, but it won't be easy to carry it out …"
Gu Ling'er shook her head. "I have participated in battles with the army, so I know their rules. If we want to mobilize the army, not only will we need an imperial edict with the Devil Emperor's Seal, we will also need the Devil Emperor's Sword. The Devil Emperor's Sword is equivalent to the Commander's Seal. Without it, it will be difficult for us to follow orders to retreat or attack. "
When a general was outside, the emperor's orders were not always in his control.
In the midst of a brutal battle, even the emperor himself might not be able to command the Demon Marshals and Demon Generals, let alone an empty order.
Unless … the Devil Emperor's Sword and Devil Emperor's Seal appeared at the same time.
"I was thinking too much …" Yuan Hai said awkwardly.
Compared to the lady before him, he was like a flower in a greenhouse who had never been on the battlefield before. He knew little about the war with the Giant Demon Tribe.
"Actually, you're right. With the Devil Emperor's Seal, it's a little overkill to only kill a few spies. We can forge an order to get the royal family and the sects to make a move. We can do more important things … We need the Devil Emperor's Sword to mobilize the army. We can't do that for now, but we can use the Devil Emperor's Seal to infiltrate the Giant Demon Camp and kill Demon Generals or even Demon Marshals. "
Gu Ling'er's eyes glowed with madness.
She had always been bold. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to the Devil Emperor's City alone to cause trouble. She was willing to be the bait and lure out the spies of Dry Origin City …
"Infiltrate the camp?"
"Yes, we can disguise ourselves as Patriarch Qiongyuan and use the Devil Emperor's Seal to find Demon Generals or Demon Marshals and say that we have something important to discuss with them. Then … we can ambush them and secretly kill them!"
Gu Ling'er gritted her teeth and said, "However, we will need to infiltrate the enemy camp. Once we are discovered, it will be difficult to escape from the encirclement of countless Giant Demons. It will be very dangerous. If we succeed, it will be equivalent to executing the decapitation plan. The Giant Demon Tribe won't even need to attack to be defeated!"
Everyone nodded.
Whether it was the Giant Demon Tribe or the Human Tribe, the strongest fighting force was not an individual but an army. These people only had one brain, and that was' Marshal '!
To shoot a man, one had to shoot the horse first.
Once the Demon Marshals and Demon Generals were taken down, the entire army would collapse. At that time, the Giant Demon Tribe would be nothing to worry about.
"Brother Ya, do you want to give it a try?"
Seeing that everyone was tempted, Gu Ling'er turned to Su Yin and asked.
To put it bluntly, success depended not on them but on the young man, his grandson, and his tamed beast.
As long as they agreed to it, there would be a chance. Otherwise, they could only dream about it.
"Disguise ourselves as Giant Demons and infiltrate their base to kill their general …"
Not expecting the other party to be so daring, Su Yin hesitated for a moment before his eyes lit up. "It's worth a try!"
It was just a moment ago that a fellow who could test his strength was kicked to death by Donkey. He could head to the Giant Demon Tribe to take a look. What if he was really powerful and didn't fear the other party's attacks?
That way, he would be able to stand proudly amidst the Giant Demon Tribe and chat with them without fear … Just the thought of it was exciting.
If the Giant Demon Tribe had unique occupations such as blacksmiths, he could make use of this opportunity to raise his cultivation to 9-dan Pseudo Immortal realm.
Even if he guessed wrongly and the other party's cultivation wasn't as powerful as he thought … with the protection of the Three Beasts, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to escape.
In other words, it wasn't too dangerous.
"Alright then. Let's return to Decimating Abyss City now. It'll be best if we can bring a few more 9-dan Pseudo Immortals with us.
Gu Ling'er nodded in agreement.
Disguising as Old Ancestor Qiongyuan and infiltrating the Giant Demon Tribe was extremely dangerous. Qian Qi and the others might be geniuses, but they wouldn't be of much use. Thus, it would be best for their teacher and the hall masters to make a move personally.
If a 9-dan Pseudo Immortal were to set up a formation and kill them simultaneously, it would be difficult for them to be noticed even within the Giant Demon Tribe's base. This would also increase their chances of escaping.
After the discussion, the group bade farewell to Old Master Qin and entered the Elder Council with their tokens. After entering the Spirit Abyss, they swiftly made their way to Decimating Abyss City.
Without any obstructions along the way, they soon arrived at the conference hall of the Elder Council.
"You said that an expert suspected to be a True Immortal ran over to kill you, but he ended up being killed by you and even stole the Demon Emperor's Seal?"
In the room, Gu Yunqiu, Shen Moping, and the other hall masters were dumbfounded after hearing Gu Ling'er's words. They didn't want to speak at all.
We only told you to bait a spy … What the hell did you do? Why do I feel like the Giant Demon Tribe is going to go extinct if we allow you to continue playing?
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Gu Ling'er turned to Ji Le and asked, "Elder, can you show the Demon Emperor's Seal to my teacher and the other elders?"
"I dare not call myself elder. You can call me Ji Le or Little Lele …"
The Demon King of Bliss shrunk his neck and hurriedly said.
This fellow addressed his grandfather as' Brother Ya '. If he were to become an elder, wouldn't his seniority be higher than his grandfather's? That wouldn't do!
In order to prevent himself from being beaten up, he had to make preparations in advance.
"Ji Le? You're … The Great Demon Ji Le? "
Hearing this, Gu Yunqiu's face warped in shock. Shen Moping and the others quickly stood up.
Many people had forgotten about The Great Demon Ji Le's notoriety, but as veterans of the Dry Origin Alliance, they still knew a lot about him. Could this seemingly humble fellow be the Great Demon Ji Le?
"There's no need to be nervous. I've already turned over a new leaf. I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Zhenxian Sect.
The Great Demon Ji Le knew what they were afraid of, so he quickly waved his hands and introduced himself earnestly.
"Grandson?" The crowd was speechless.
The Great Demon Ji Le …
He was one of the most arrogant and unruly figures in the past ten thousand years. Back then, he would rather die than be controlled by others. How did he become like this after eight thousand years?
Fawning and subservient to him … It felt so lowly.
"It doesn't matter who I am. In any case, I don't have any ill intentions …"
Not wanting to dwell on this issue, the Demon King of Bliss tapped his palm, and the Demon Emperor's Seal appeared. Floating in midair, it emanated an immense pressure.
Even though two Superior Spirit Veins had been extracted, the might of the seal did not diminish in the slightest. It was still an incredibly powerful Immortal artifact.
"That's the Demon Emperor's Seal?" one of the hall masters asked in shock.
"It's the real deal. I once fought with the Sky Fall Demon Emperor, and he used this artifact to defeat me …" Gu Yunqiu nodded.
Others might have to guess, but he had seen it with his own eyes, and he had even suffered a blow from it. He knew just how fearsome this Immortal artifact was!
To think that it was actually brought over and tamed!
"Since it's true, we can give Ling-er's suggestion a try. As long as we succeed, even if the Giant Demon Tribe doesn't go extinct, they'll suffer great losses. They won't be able to do anything for the next thousand years …"
Hall Master Feng Changxi of the Art of War stood up with a glint in his eyes.
As the supreme commander of the human race, it went without saying that he hoped to lead his troops into Demon Emperor City while he was still alive. Only then would he be able to leave his name in the annals of history.
"We can give it a try, but we'll have to think it through!"
Gu Yunqiu said, "First, we'll have to decide who we're going to kill! The Giant Demon Tribe has five armies: East, West, South, North, and Central. Each army has more than 500,000 soldiers, and each army has a peak Pseudo Immortal commander and eight Pseudo Immortal generals … There's only one Demon Emperor's Seal. Even if we want to launch a sneak attack, we can only choose one! "
Everyone nodded.
The five armies had a total of more than 2.5 million Giant Demons.
Even if they succeeded, the news would definitely spread to the other Giant Demons. At that time, it would be impossible for them to make a move.
"Since we have to capture the ringleader first, we'll have to kill the most famous and powerful one. Only then will we be able to shock the enemy … What I mean is, we should launch a sneak attack on the commander of the Central Army, Demon King Qiong Ye! He's the younger brother of the Sky Fall Demon Emperor, the God of War of the Giant Demon Tribe. Once he dies, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken. "
Feng Changxi said.
After fighting for so many years, he was very clear about the Giant Demon Race. Although Qiong Ye was a commander, he was also a true Demon King. Furthermore, he was the younger brother of His Majesty, Sky Fall. The five armies seemed to be doing their own thing, but in truth, they all followed his lead.
As long as they could kill him, the enemy would definitely fall into chaos.
"If we want to kill him, we'll have to come up with a plan in advance. I don't think it's appropriate for us to disguise ourselves as Old Ancestor Qiong Ye!" Gu Yunqiu said.
"It's indeed inappropriate. Patriarch Qiong Yuan was taken away in front of everyone and severely injured. Many people saw it. His sudden appearance will inevitably make people suspicious …"
Feng Changxi nodded.
The Giant Demons knew that the humans had the Thousand Faces Palace, and they could disguise themselves perfectly. How could they believe that the Old Ancestor had suddenly returned?
"What should we do then?" Gu Ling 'er asked.
Gu Yunqiu smiled faintly and said, "Shadow, you tell them!"
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared in the air. He cupped his fists and bowed. "I have a spy in the middle army's camp. He has already found the location of the eight Demon Generals. We can lure a battle out … Let him make a move and save the severely injured Old Ancestor Qiong Ye. This way, the appearance of the Demon Emperor's Seal won't be so sudden."
"That's right!" Gu Ling 'er's eyes lit up. Even Su Yin could not help but nod.
As expected of someone who often fought with the Giant Demons. He had many trump cards, one after another.
With such a high-ranking spy around, it was reasonable to bring Old Ancestor Qiong Ye back.
"What kind of battle should we create so that a Pseudo Immortal Realm Demon General can save Old Ancestor Qiong Ye without being sudden or strange?"
"It's simple. The head of the scholar that you killed might be crushed, but that doesn't mean that his soul has dissipated. He can pretend that he's severely injured and escape with Old Ancestor Qiong Ye. As for the three demonic beast seniors, they have to pretend that they were ambushed. As for us, we'll lead the human experts to chase after them and make it look like a battle is about to break out!"
Feng Zhangxi tapped his finger on the table as he said, "As long as the chase is real enough, even if they don't believe it, they'll think of a way to save Old Ancestor Qiong Ye. Once they're saved, the rest will be easy!"
Everyone nodded in realization.
As expected of the human race's commander. He came up with a plan in the blink of an eye.
It was also an open scheme.
Since the Old Ancestor Qiong Ye was being chased, as a junior, should they save him? If they did not save him, they would be unfilial and cowardly. If they saved him, they would be able to enter the camp easily. As for carrying out special missions under the orders of the Demon Emperor … With the Demon Emperor's Seal in their hands, as long as Sky Fall did not appear, they could say whatever they wanted.
Furthermore, True Immortals had countless means. Did a crushed head mean that Old Ancestor Qiong Ye was dead?
That might not be the case!
Therefore, it was not surprising for the scholar to reappear and flee in a hurry. Even if he was discovered, no one would suspect him.
"If you don't have any objections, we'll follow this plan …"
The humans and demons had been at war for many years, and they had always lacked an opportunity to break the stalemate. Now that they had the Demon Emperor's Seal, the opportunity was right in front of them. The Hall Masters could no longer contain their excitement.
"The three demonic beast seniors have to go and pretend to be injured … As for Senior Extreme Bliss, as the owner of the seal and a demonic cultivator, it's most suitable for him to disguise as a scholar! As for Old Ancestor Qiong Ye … let me do it. Although my cultivation hasn't reached the True Immortal realm, I've condensed a True Immortal Bone.
Gu Yunqiu made the arrangements.
The Thousand Faces Hall Master, Shen Moping, stood up. "You have a high status, so you can't take the risk easily. Furthermore, in terms of disguise, you're definitely not as good as me. Let me do it …"
"You? Forget it! You're only in charge of gathering intelligence, but your battle prowess is mediocre. Let me do it! My battle prowess is unparalleled, so I have the highest chance of killing Qiong Ye, "the Combat Dao Hall Master, Tao Xuchen, said.
Soon, everyone began to fight over the slots.
"Everyone, can you please stop for a moment?"
At this moment, An Ying looked over with a bitter smile on his face. "Just a moment ago, His Majesty, the Sky Demon Emperor, issued an order. As long as anyone has the Demon Emperor's Seal, not only are they not to obey the order, they are to be killed without mercy … The entire clan must obey the orders of the Demon Emperor's Sword.
He had spies in the Demon Emperor City and the army of trolls. He had immediately sent word over when he received the news.
"This …"
The room fell silent again.
They had just said that they could do many things with the Demon Emperor's Seal when the other party retaliated. Even if they had the Demon Emperor's Seal, they would no longer have any advantage.
Everyone had to obey the Demon Emperor's Sword's orders … They were already lucky to have obtained the Demon Emperor's Seal. Where else could they find it?
Just as everyone was at their wits' end, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the room. "Gu Ling 'er, three demonic beasts? Not bad, not bad! You let us find you so quickly … "
Everyone was stunned. They quickly looked over and saw two middle-aged men in the hall. One of them was holding a sword.
Demonic Qi surrounded the sword. It was the Demon Emperor's Sword!
