The next day, in the conference hall of the Taiyi Sect's Guyu City branch.
Lin Xuan's original body sat high on the throne, looking down at the people below.
After a day and night of deployment, the headquarters of the Greater One Sect had sent reinforcements. The reinforcements were led by Chi Wufeng and Tie Lie. There were also eight Divinity realm experts, one hundred and sixty Heavenly Transformation realm divine guards, and eighty thousand Dao Protectors. This force had now entered Guyu City and took over the city's defense.
And this was only the group in charge of the north side of Mount Qian.
On the east, west, and south sides of the Qian Mountain Range, there were also elite troops from the Greater One Sect stationed in the major cities. They built lines of defense around the mountain range to reinforce the defenses of the human cities and gradually realized the encirclement of the devils in the Qian Mountain Range.
Because the ones in charge of this matter were Maki Cangsheng and Dun Fei, not Yudao's doppelganger, Lin Xuan didn't know much about the Mount Qian demons.
Out of the importance he attached to the Mount Qian demons, Lin Xuan purposely summoned Chi Wufeng and the others to inquire about the details.
Chi Wufeng said, "Daolord, according to the reports from the Umbra Palace, the Mount Qian demons are led by Demon Emperor Li Tiangang and assisted by Demon King Xue Lingzi, Wang Chong, and Yu Qiusheng.
The Mount Qian demons include thirty percent of the disciples of the thirty-odd sects, including the Mount Qian Sect, numbering more than forty thousand. As for the low-level demonic beasts, they are uncountable.
Among them, there are twenty or so rank five demons, three hundred or so rank four demons, and the rest are all below rank four.
In the past two days, the Mount Qian demons have almost turned out in full force, wantonly raiding the major cities and towns around Mount Qian.
According to incomplete statistics, the demons have destroyed more than two hundred cities and towns, abducting more than six million people. At least thirty percent of these people will be turned into demons or demonic beasts … "
Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown at Chi Wufeng's report.
Although he'd already paid enough attention to the Mount Qian demons, the severity of the situation still exceeded his expectations.
Originally, the forty thousand demons in Mount Qian were already a force that could not be ignored.
In just two short days, they had managed to abduct another six million people. According to the conversion rate of the Chaotic Demonic Light, about two million of them would become demons or demonic beasts.
Of course, since most of these people were mortals, most of them would probably only transform into magical beasts.
Even so, it was still a terrifying number.
One had to know that even the lowest level demonic beast was not something an ordinary Atman Body level martial artist could handle.
Lin Xuan really didn't expect that in just two short days, the Qianshan Devil Clan would actually become a major threat that was far more dangerous than the Northern Wilderness Dragons clan.
Although the Northern Barren Dragons clan was powerful, they were outnumbered. It would be hard for them to make a difference in a short period of time.
Moreover, the Dragons clan did not have strict control over the sub- Dragons clan. It was not easy to form a large-scale invasion.
However, the Devil Clan was different. The hierarchy of the Devil Clan was strict. High-level demons had extremely strong control over low-level demons. Under layers of suppression, it was enough to consolidate the entire Devil Clan into an iron plate that could expand and invade at will.
This was also the main reason why the Devil Clan could move unhindered and suppress all races.
Compared to the Devil Clan, although the human race had a large number of people, they were like scattered sand. It was very difficult for them to form a large-scale battle line. Moreover, their individual strength was generally far inferior to the Devil Clan.
Lin Xuan understood that if they didn't deal with the situation well and allowed the Mount Qian Demon Clan to continue developing like a rolling snowball, they would probably not need ten or thirty years. In just three to five years, the Devil Clan would sweep the world and occupy the entire True Martial Domain.
Under such a grim situation, Lin Xuan didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly ordered Chi Wufeng, Tie Lie, and the others to lead their troops to sweep the northern line of the Mount Qian Demon Clan and eliminate all invading demons. They also carried out the scorched earth strategy to forcibly evacuate all humans.
For a time, the army in the city spread out, rushing to the various cities and towns within a thousand li to sweep away the Devil Clan and evacuate the population.
Lin Xuan's orders also quickly spread to the other demon eliminating armies. The entire Ultimate One Sect carried out Lin Xuan's orders meticulously. Not only did they evacuate the humans, they didn't even let off some wild beasts and vicious beasts. As long as they encountered them, they would either kill or capture them. They carried out the scorched earth strategy quite thoroughly.
As for Lin Xuan's main body, he wasn't idle either.
He personally patrolled the outskirts of the Mount Qian Demon Clan. While carrying out precise attacks on the core forces of the Devil Clan, he frequently summoned the Devil Suppressing Pagoda and wantonly slaughtered the Devil Clan and Devil Beast Army that came down the mountain.
Under his deterrence, the higher-ups of the Mount Qian Demon Clan didn't dare to rashly leave the mountain. They could only send low-level demons to lead the Devil Beast Army and disperse down the mountain to raid and pillage.
However, these low-level demons and Devil Beasts couldn't resist the attacks of the Ultimate One Sect's elites. They suffered heavy casualties everywhere, but their harvest was meager.
Just like this, the humans and the Devil Clan clashed with each other for a month. The Devil Clan didn't gain the slightest advantage. Instead, they lost quite a few Devil Clan elites.
In the end, the Devil Clan had no choice but to withdraw their forces. The million demons all withdrew into the Chaotic Devil Light.
At the peak of Mount Qian Sheng, the Devil Emperor Li Tiangang stood in the biting cold wind with Devil King Xue Lingzi, Yu Qiusheng, and a dozen or so Devil Clan experts. Their gazes pierced through the endless void, gazing at the figure patrolling the sky.
The Devil Emperor Li Tiangang wore a one-meter-thick half-body Daoist armor and carried a heavy hammer the size of a small mountain. His rough and majestic body was filled with a sense of strength, giving off a strong visual impact and shocking shock.
However, his eyes flickered with traces of unwillingness and irritation.
Ever since he became a Devil, he found it harder and harder to control his emotions. He gradually became ruthless, cruel, suspicious, bloodthirsty, and even more selfish.
This was a common phenomenon among the Mount Qian Demon Clan.
Over the last few days, he had personally killed quite a few Devil Clan experts because of his discontent. Not only did this not displease his subordinates, it only made them even more respectful and respectful.
Li Tiangang was extremely satisfied with his subordinates. What gave him a headache was Lin Xuan and the Unity One Dao.
If not for the vigorous efforts of Lin Xuan and the Unity One Dao, the Mount Qian Demon Clan would have multiplied in strength several times over.
But now, not only had the Mount Qian Demon Clan not increased in strength, it had actually decreased by twenty to thirty percent. They had even been forced to withdraw into the Chaotic Devil Light.
All of this left Li Tiangang furious, but there was also nothing he could do.
"Lin Xuan, that brat, is going too far! There will come a day when this emperor will tear Lin Xuan's corpse to shreds! "Li Tiangang said in a solemn voice, viciously.
Demon King Xue Lingzi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Demon Emperor, Lin Xuan's strength is unfathomable. Even Wang Chong died at his hands. This subordinate and the others truly have no confidence in defeating him!
In this subordinate's opinion, our Mount Qian Demon Clan already has enough basic strength. As long as we recuperate in the Chaotic Devil Light for a few decades, we will definitely accumulate enough strength to devour the world. There is no need to compete with Lin Xuan for a moment of anger. "
"Hmph! Ignorant fools! "
Li Tiangang coldly glared at Xue Lingzi, scaring him so much that he couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly knelt and retreated.
All of the other devilish beings' expressions also changed as they hurriedly backed away.
Over the last few days, several Devil Clan experts had been brutally hammered to death because they had angered Li Tiangang.
The demons were not only afraid of Li Tiangang's bloodline and cultivation level, but also of the giant hammer in his hand.
When the Chaotic Devil Light descended, it not only transformed the Devil Clan and the surrounding environment, but also nurtured some divine materials.
Right now, the crude, giant hammer in Li Tiangang's hand was an innate divine weapon nurtured in the core region of the Chaotic Devil Light.
Ever since he obtained this giant hammer, Li Tiangang was like a tiger that had grown wings, completely stabilizing his position as the Demon Emperor of the Mount Qian Demon Clan.
This purplish-gold hammer contained divine power that made people despair. Li Tiangang named it the Demonic Hammer of Despair. He treated it like a supreme treasure, unwilling to let it leave his hand at all times.
Fortunately, Li Tiangang did not kill anyone out of anger this time. He suppressed his fury and explained, "The foundation of our existence right now is the Chaotic Devil Light above our heads!
But do you know that it's impossible for the Chaotic Devil Light to exist forever?
The Chaotic Devil Light is the projection of the power of the ancient Demon God of Hatred. Do you think the ancient Demon God of Hatred will waste his strength to protect a bunch of trash?
If we can't display enough value, if we can't expand our territory for the Devil Race, if we can't develop demonfolk for the lord Demon God, then what awaits us will definitely be the Demon God abandoning us! "
"Something like that actually happened!"
The demons all looked at one another. They could not help but become worried.
With the current strength of the Mount Qian Demon clan, they were not enough to oppose the Greater One Sect or even the entire human martial arts world. Once they lost the protection of the Chaotic Devil Light, what awaited them would definitely be destruction.
Yu Qiusheng asked, "May I ask how long the Chaotic Devil Light can exist, sir Demon Emperor?"
"Hmph, according to my estimations, the Chaotic Devil Light will definitely vanish in two to eight years at most. Before that happens, we need to accumulate enough strength to establish ourselves in the world! As a result, our time is actually very tight. We can't afford to waste any of it! "Li Tiangang said sternly.
Hearing that there were still two to three years at the very least, the demons all secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, as soon as they thought about how the Greater One Sect was eyeing them from the outside, the demons all became extremely solemn.
Looking at the current situation, even in another two to three years, it would be very difficult for the Mount Qian Demon clan to break through the Greater One Sect's blockade. By then, they would still die.
Yu Qiusheng's eyes flickered, and he said, "Sir Demon Emperor, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Li Tiangang suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Qiusheng coldly. "Speak!"
"Yes."
Yu Qiusheng said, "Sir Demon Emperor, as far as I know, a total of more than 20 Chaotic Devil Lights have appeared in the True Martial Domain now. There are two that are closest to us, and they are in the Black Water River and Chu Zhou City.
Chu Zhou City is a desert with few living creatures. Even if a few sand beasts demonize, it's difficult for them to form a climate.
However, the Black Water River is different. There are many water races in the Black Water River, and the cities on both sides are densely packed. It's said that a sizable demon clan has already formed, and they're called the Black Water Demon Clan. They have millions of water demon soldiers, and their strength is very likely above our Mount Qian Demon Clan.
However, the Black Water Demon Clan is being suppressed by the Greater One Sect, so they have no choice but to develop in the Eastern Wilderness.
"My idea is that we can contact the Black Water Demon Clan. If we can form an alliance between the two clans and attack the Greater One Sect from the east and the west, the Greater One Sect will definitely be attacked from the front and the back.
"Taking a step back, even if our two clans can't deal a heavy blow to the Greater One Sect, the Black Water Demon Clan will definitely be able to restrict the Greater One Sect's large amount of resources. At that time, our Mount Qian Demon Clan will have an easier time."
