Chapter 661: Chapter 389: Entering the Demon Domain!_2

"At present, it seems so."

The deputy general sighed and said, "Altogether nearly two thousand elite soldiers were sent to cross the Demon Domain, but now only sixteen have reached the Taixuan Divine Mountain. Even another commander has gone missing... "

"The Demon Domain spans a vast territory; if the Saint Master’s whereabouts are exposed, death is certain!"

"Even if the Saint Master does not reveal his identity, the dangers along the way make it uncertain whether he can make it through."

"We must continue dispatching elite soldiers to receive the Saint Master!"

Lowering his voice, the deputy general said, "The Holy Alliance’s large contingency of elites specializes in covert operations. Some two thousand were sent before... there are still a thousand or so yet to be deployed. Should we scatter them in batches?"

"No need!"

Prince Zhen Nan spoke calmly: "Within the Holy Alliance, the various factions have differing attitudes toward the Saint Master. It’s overly complicated, and I don’t trust them; unpredictable changes might occur!"

"Further, those who previously crossed the Demon Domain dwindled to only sixteen survivors—the rest were most likely lost."

"The Demon Domain must have already caught wind of our maneuvers."

"If Xiao Li appears at Taixuan Divine Mountain, I fear it may not escape the notice of the upper ranks of the Demon Domain."

"Sending another thousand elites now would be tantamount to telling them that they are solely meant to greet the Saint Master."

"We are constrained in many ways, yet since the Saint Master possesses such abilities and carries great destiny, it is likely that he can turn misfortune into fortune."

Prince Zhen Nan spoke slowly, "If he were to succumb so easily, it would only prove that this supposed Great Luck is hollow and an illusion. It is not the burning sun we anticipated to dispel the Deceit Night... At most, it is but paper, set aflame, that burns!"

"Once the paper is consumed, the fire dies out. Even if we strive to protect it, that flame cannot blaze long or become the celestial sun!"

After pausing, Prince Zhen Nan said, "But regardless of the Saint Master’s Great Luck, he cannot rely solely on himself for this journey. Tonight, I shall personally lead troops to attack the Demon Domain!"

"You are to command one hundred elite soldiers, take Godspeed Talismans, and using Xiao Li’s route, navigate through the chaos of battle to cross the Demon Domain. Following Xiao Li’s instructions, three days from now... retrieve the Saint Master!"

"My trusted aides are under the scrutiny of various factions, so they cannot be moved."

"Select these hundred elite soldiers with care. The matter of receiving the Saint Master must not be exposed, otherwise..."

Prince Zhen Nan paused and looked deeply at the deputy general, then sighed and said, "The birth of the New Technique and the emergence of Great Luck will determine the future of the Holy Alliance and affect the grand destiny of humankind for generations!"

The deputy general immediately knelt and said in a deep tone, "I will select death warriors from among the clan. For this mission, should I fail to retrieve the Saint Master, I am willing to accept military punishment!"

——

Demon Domain.

This land, encompassing three hundred miles, falls within the Black Wind Demon King’s territory.

There is a small city here, along with three villages.

Each is guarded by Bear Demons to prevent other evils from encroaching and preying on the Human Clan.

This city and three villages constitute the source of incense offerings for the Black Wind Demon King.

Every half month, the Human Clan conducts a blood sacrifice.

For demons and evils, flesh and souls are the most delectable Great Medicine.

At this moment, within Black Wind Manor.

Six black bears were drinking and making merry, speaking in human tongues.

"I heard the Tiger King fell at Taixuan Divine Mountain. The great king intends to seize the Tiger King’s territory and take in the human slaves left behind—truly benevolent and kind-hearted..."

"Many covet the Tiger King’s lands, not just our great king. There might be a major battle ahead."

"If not for the assault on Taixuan Divine Mountain, we’d likely have been conscripted to carve up the Tiger King’s domain."

"Speaking of which, today’s offerings have been selected and should be sacrificed to the great king."

"The great king, along with his direct lineage, marched to attack Taixuan Divine Mountain. Tonight, it’s said he will savor a piece of the Human Race’s Saint Master."

"The Human Race Saint Master carries Great Luck, and he is quite young, very tender—one bite is worth a hundred years of cultivation."

"Even if we devoured all these penned-up humans, it wouldn’t compare to a single morsel of the Saint Master."

"The Saint Master’s flesh might not even make it to the great king’s mouth, so we shouldn’t dream of it."

"Still, these offerings the great king doesn’t currently consume—we should reserve portions for ourselves."

"This time it’s a minor sacrifice with only a pair of boy-and-girl youths presented to the great king."

"The chosen offerings amount to twelve individuals in total. Besides the boy-and-girl youths, the remaining ten are just right for us brothers to feast on."

"Yet secretly increasing the number of offerings for our own consumption—should the great king find out..."

"As long as we don’t touch the pair of boy-and-girl youths, nothing major will happen."

"I wonder what boy-and-girl youths taste like... Rumored to be tender, rich in spiritual energy, with better texture and greater aid to cultivation than regular human blood food."

"Don’t even think about it. If we can secretly eat those old, weak, and sick ones, it’s already good enough."

"Given time, another thirty to fifty years, with accumulation from the blood food of humans, we might have hope to become Great Demons."

"The Taiyin Thunder Envoy seems to have it easier. He reportedly slaughtered over twenty thousand humans to cultivate ’Refining God Realm.’ Amid life and death, a human succeeded in the Refining God Skill, becoming a rare Great Medicine!"

"But that Great Medicine wasn’t eaten—it seems intended for delivery to somewhere south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, or possibly the northern Holy Alliance, to gather intelligence and assassinate human leaders..."

"Even a Great Medicine born of the Refining God Realm was released—this Taiyin Thunder Envoy is truly bold."

"A Great Medicine—we won’t get to eat it in this lifetime, alas... I’ve heard the evils under the Taiyin Thunder Envoy feasted abundantly; each one’s cultivation skyrocketed."

"Twenty thousand humans—if everyone gorged, wouldn’t it kill off a few? It’d be a disservice to such an opportunity otherwise!"

"Within our three hundred-mile territory, under the great king’s protection, just how many humans have we raised in total? Twenty thousand? Unthinkable... They actually consumed them all, leaving no seedlings behind to be spared?"
