“Demon Emperor, the spies in An State and Cang State reported that Liu Family’s base camp has been vacated. All the family property has been moved out. It seems that they have already made preparations for the family relocation.” The old man in a purple robe said.
“There is no shortage of immortal magic weapons in the Liu Family, so it isn’t difficult for them to do this. I thought I was a wise emperor, but I didn’t even notice that there was a real evil dragon lurking beside him. I really feel ashamed of my ancestors.” The middle-aged man in a purple robe sighed and said with some self-deprecation.
“Demon Emperor, don’t blame yourself. If the Liu Family is deliberately hiding from us, there is no way we can know about it…” The old man in a purple robe hurriedly said.
The middle-aged man in a purple robe shook his hand, stopping the old man in purple robe from speaking more.
“At this point, there is no need to talk about it. It’s just that Liu Shui and Elder Qi’s natal demonic flame in Maha Hall has been extinguished. With their strength, even if there were 5 Mystic Comprehending States besieging them, they shouldn’t be able to stop them. Is there any news from You Rong City?”
“Until now, there is no news…” The old man in a purple robe shook his head. When he was speaking, a purple light suddenly lit up on his body.
The old man in a purple robe was shocked slightly. He took out a purple disk and launched a symbol into it. A light curtain emerged above the purple disc, and the image of a giant ball array vaguely emerged on the light curtain.
When the people present saw the image on the light curtain, they were dumbstruck.
“So it turned out to be the Great Chaos Mara Array, no wonder they can trap Liushui to death.” Demon Emperor said.
When the other people present heard this, they were slightly shocked.
“The Great Chaos Mara Array is an ancient array. Where did the old fox, Liu Huifeng, get the array method…” The burly man with messy hair on the right hand took a light breath and said.
The others were silent for a while and did not speak.
“Demon Emperor, now it seems that Liu Huifeng has planned for a long time. The families of Li State, Chi State, and Kuo State have already become his vassals. After the battle at the Black Wind Col, Zang State has also fallen. In addition, An State and Cang State were already controlled by the Liu Family. The Liu Family has actually controlled 6 states now. The hundreds of thousands of troops we sent earlier may not be enough.” After a while, the middle-aged man with silver hair said.
“I have also considered this situation, so I have sent a message to Xi’er and the others yesterday to let the army stand by. As for how to defeat the enemy, does Elder Zhantian have any strategy?” As the middle-aged man in a purple robe said, he turned to look at the old man in a purple robe.
“In my opinion, Liu Family’s strength may be far more than what it appears on the surface. Since they dare to openly rebel, they must have something to rely on. According to the information we have before, even if the forces of the Liu Family and Da Shuo are combined, their power is less than 30% of our total power.” The old man in a purple robe cupped his first toward the Demon Emperor and said calmly.
“Does Elder Zhantian mean that this Liu Family has raised a lot of power in secret? Or…” The middle-aged man in a purple robe suddenly thought of something, then his face turned gloomy.
“Demon Emperor is right! The power raised by the Liu Family in secret is probably the families in the Li State, Chi State and Kuo State. This is also the foundation of Da Shuo. Even if the original power of the Liu Family is added, they aren’t a threat at all. However, whether the other 3 Demon Marquis have any shady collusion with the Liu Family, there is no way we know about it.” The old man in a purple robe said meaningfully.
“As far as I know, the Kong Xiang Family and the Liu Family have been in close contact. Could it be…” The veiled woman next to the old man said.
“Elder Yupo is right, but the foundations of the 4 great families are solid. Although on the surface they submit to us Huangfu Family, they have never stopped making small moves behind the scenes. Before we get any conclusive evidence, we should not act rashly, so as not to alert them. Now that the Demon Abyss is about to open, the most urgent thing is to wait for the end of the Demon Abyss before concentrating on dealing with Da Shuo. As for the other 3 families, we can do this first…” Huangfu Zhantian finally transmitted his voice.
“Okay, this matter will be handled according to Elder Zhantian’s suggestions. As for the matter of Demon Abyss, there are only 2 keys left now, so we need to reconsider the choice of candidates.” The middle-aged man in a purple robe pondered for a while, then he nodded in agreement.
“Demon Emperor, princess strongly requested to join this trip to the Demon Abyss before…” Huangfu Yupo asked hesitantly.
“I have already talked about this. Demon Abyss is unlike other places. Although she has advanced to the Celestial State, she is not strong enough after all. She can’t help much if she goes there.” The middle-aged man in a purple robe pondered slightly and waved his hand, but there was a rare softness in his eyes.
“Yes.” Huangfu Yupo’s gaze flashed. She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Demon Emperor looked away. He didn’t notice that one of the beads on the veiled woman’s wrist shattered silently.
At the same moment, in a magnificent palace in the central imperial city, a girl in a purple palace robe was sitting cross-legged. She suddenly sensed something and trembled, then she she slowly opened her eyes.
This girl looked 17 years old. Her skin was snow white, her soft purple hair drooped down to her waist, her facial features were extremely beautiful, and there was a black demonic imprint on her forehead.
“Hmph, I’ve successfully advanced to Celestial State as agreed, but he still doesn’t allow me to go.” The girl with purple hair showed a trace of dissatisfaction on her face, then a hint of cunningness in her black and white eyes.
“In this case, I will enter the Demon Abyss myself.” The girl with purple hair snorted softly, then she disappeared after a purple flash.
…
The capital city of Da Shuo Dynasty was located in Yi An City of Li State which was thousands of miles away from the central imperial city.
Yi An City was an ancient city with a long history. Even in the entire Thousands Demons Continent, it was one of the few big cities. The city was extremely prosperous. The building layouts were ingenious.
Beside the bustling main avenue, there was a vast palace complex with carved beams and painted buildings, which looked extremely luxurious.
On the wall of the palace, for every certain distance, there was a gray flag embroidered with a big “Shuo” character on it.
At this moment, in one of the most magnificent halls, Liu Huifeng was sitting on the main seat. In front of him were some acquaintances, including Liu Zongyang, the old man in sackcloth, and the 3 Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses of Da Shuo. In addition, there were more than 10 people standing beside.
“How about those family masters?” Liu Huifeng asked indifferently.
“Already half of them are willing to surrender to us, and they are willing to engrave their natal imprint on the Soul Ban Bell.” The woman in a gray robe wearing a silver headband replied.
“Very good! Give them another 3 days. Those who still refuse to surrender by then will be executed on the spot and refined into demon corpses! As for their people, after the enchantment is planted, they will all be treated as cannon fodders in the war with the central imperial. By the way, Zongyang, is there a clue about the boy who escaped?” After Liu Huifeng nodded in satisfaction, he asked the old man in sackcloth.
“I have already found out that the man’s name is Liu Ming. He is the family master of Qing Family, a middle-class family in Tuo Zang Mountain Range, Zang State. When I sent people to Tuo Zang Mountain Range, they found that the entire manor had already been deserted. I’m afraid it will take some time to find him.” The old man in sackcloth said.
“Hmph! This kid is not simple. He actually placed his people outside the array to help him to escape. It didn’t matter if he escaped, but he took away a Demon Abyss Key. Could it be that Huangfu Liushui lost his mind and gave such a precious item to someone whom he didn’t know!” Liu Huifeng snorted.
“This Liu Ming’s whereabouts are unknown now. If he keeps hiding, we have no way. But if he knows how to refine the key, he will definitely rush to the Han State. At that time, we can try to capture this person and force him to hand over the Demon Abyss Key!” After thinking for a while, the old man in sackcloth said with a stern look.
The escape of Liu Ming had put shame on the reputation of the Liu Family, so he hated Liu Ming to his core.
“This Liu Ming should not be underestimated. He seems to be good at concealing technique. Moreover, the Han State is under the jurisdiction of the central imperial, so we can’t act at will. Just pass down the order to let our people keep an eye on him. If we are lucky enough to find the trace of that Liu Ming, we will take action again.” Liu Huifeng looked faintly at the old man in sackcloth and said.
“Yes.” The old man in sackcloth quickly responded after a slight change in expression.
“Now there are still 3 years before the opening of the Demon Abyss. This time is not long or short. On the premise that there is no guarantee that we can get the second Demon Abyss Key, let’s plan according to 5 slots. In this way, we must carefully consider the people, and we have to be careful of those in the central imperial.” The old man in a gray robe holding a crutch opened his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone.
The expressions of the others changed upon hearing this.
“No matter what, we will definitely get that thing during this trip to the Demon Abyss!” Liu Huifeng said with a solemn face.
Everyone people looked solmen and responded.
…
At this moment, on the Thousands Demons Continent, rumors of the Liu Family’s betrayal quickly spread, and there was turmoil on the mainland. Especially the states near Zang State, An State, Cang State, etc., the families began to migrate toward the middle of the Thousands Demons Continent.
However, some real big families on the mainland, such as the 3 major families of Gao He Family, Long Family, and Kong Xiang Family, unexpectedly did not make much action. What was even more puzzling was that in the face of Liu Family’s betrayal, the central imperial didn’t have any extreme reaction.
After the Liu Family occupied 6 states, they did not continue to expand.
On the Thousands Demons Continent, there was a sudden turmoil and various rumors. The situation became unprecedentedly turbulent.
…
In the extreme north of the Thousands Demons Continent, there was severe cold on the boundless land. It seemed that everything in the world was frozen into ice sculptures here.
The sky was covered with thick lead clouds, and large flakes of snow fell down, covering the ground with a thick layer of ice and snow.
This was the northernmost state of the Thousands Demons Continent, Han State.
