Chapter 306: Chapter 207: The Fall of the Supreme Saint? (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Having just emerged from the underground palace, Li Qian activated his Spiritual Sense and detected that the Divine Sword Sect’s Great Array was once again running at full capacity.

Ever since Dao Sect established its subsect in Dachang and stationed a strong force there, Dachang had become much more stable, and traces of demons and evil spirits had become rare.

Therefore, the Divine Sword Sect’s Great Array had always been operating in its lowest state to greatly reduce the consumption of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, which was more beneficial for maintenance.

After all, if Solid Array Piles are running at high load for a long period, the wear and tear will be intensified.

He quickly, through his incarnation as the White Fox, learned the reason.

"Master."

Chai Shao, the eldest disciple, saw that Li Qian came out of seclusion, and hurriedly said, "Recently, the Demon Race suddenly launched a large-scale invasion, crazily plundering vitality... It is said that Chi Country and Qi Country might have lost over a third of their population... Even our Taiwu Dao’s several states in Shuchuan have been affected... The loss is significant."

"That severe?"

Li Qian’s brows furrowed slightly.

Could it be the Demon Race’s retaliation for the martial alliance’s counterattack a few years ago?

But why would they wait such a long time to retaliate?

Furthermore, the severity of this retaliation is outrageous. How many people are in a country?

A loss of over a third of the population means that the Demon Race’s plundering of vitality is simply too frenzied.

Unless the Demon Race urgently needs more Eternal Blood, they would carry out such extreme and destructive plundering.

"Could it be that someone in the Supreme Saints of the Demon Race is about to face the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Li Qian pondered.

Only this urgency would explain the desperate need for Longevity Pills.

After all, Longevity Pills have tremendous benefits in breaking through the Longevity Secret Realm.

This gave Li Qian a sense of urgency.

If the Demon Race managed to refine Longevity Pills and give birth to powerful magical beasts of the Longevity Secret Realm... how could he continue to thrive?

"What’s the situation now?"

Li Qian asked after pondering for a moment.

"The Demon Race retreated after their frenzied plunder..."

Chai Shao quickly replied.

Li Qian was puzzled by the actions of the Demon Race. Such a large-scale invasion ended with destructive plundering, yet they did not occupy the territory but instead directly retreated.

Was it merely for plundering vitality?

This action was somewhat similar to nomadic tribes from the northern steppes in ancient times; whenever a famine approached, they would head south to loot...

The destruction was even greater.

And it was impossible to guard against.

After all, previous Demon Race attacks were more like positional warfare, aimed at occupying Human Clan territory.

But now they just snatch and run...

"How about the demon disaster?"

Li Qian asked again after another moment of thought.

"There’s been no movement on the demon disaster front. This time, the Demon Race’s invasion was too sudden, lasting less than two months... I heard the fighting was fierce."

Chai Shao shook his head.

How could it not be fierce?

After all, the Demon Race was digging at the roots of the Human Clan.

Such destructive plundering, the martial alliance certainly couldn’t sit still and had to do everything in its power to stop it.

Otherwise, if the Human Clan lost its vast population advantage, its potential would decline rapidly.

After all, the birth of genius Martial Artists in the Human Clan relied on a vast population... Unlike the Demon Race, which could enlighten and reproduce offspring through the Enlightenment process.

Li Qian decided to go to Stepping Cloud Peak to find out more.

Dao Sect did not use the Ten Thousand Miles Communication Talisman to send him a message, which meant that the situation was not yet serious enough to require his intervention... In other words, the Demon Race’s invasion seemed fierce, but they did not intend to occupy the land long-term; it was a quick raid and retreat.

After arriving at Stepping Cloud Peak, the Ling Long Great Saint was still the one holding the fort here.

After all, Li Qian was most familiar with her. It was more convenient for Ling Long Great Saint to be based here to communicate with Li Qian.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, long time no see."

Ling Long Great Saint was surprised to see Li Qian.

"I came to find out about the situation when I heard about the Demon Race invasion," said Li Qian with a smile.

"Uh... I thought Daoist Qian Yuan would have known already."

Ling Long Great Saint didn’t know what to say.

After all, the Demon Race’s invasion had already been a month ago, was Daoist Qian Yuan that out of touch with the news?

"I’ve been in seclusion recently, and I’ve just received the news."

Li Qian explained.

"Anyway, this time it’s serious... The population of twenty-seven countries out of the Five Domains might be reduced by a third."

Ling Long Great Saint sighed.

Li Qian took a sharp breath.

Even though a few years ago, the martial alliance counterattacked and took back some areas occupied by the Demon Race, only about fifty countries were still under the control of the martial alliance, with still a dozen or so countries under the control of the Demon Race.

That now over a third of the population from twenty-seven countries out of the fifty-plus countries were lost... it was too terrifying.

Such destructive plundering... If it happens a few more times, the entire Human World might indeed turn into a dead zone.

"What will the martial alliance do in response?"

Li Qian asked, frowning.

"What else can be done? They have to deploy stronger forces to prevent another such plundering invasion by the Demon Race..."

Ling Long Great Saint sighed.

"The Demon Race’s invasion this time, the Fox Demon doesn’t seem involved?"

Li Qian suddenly said.

"Right... It was solely the Demon Race this time."

Ling Long Great Saint nodded: "So we suspect that there must be a divergence between the demons, or rather, the Demon Race completely left out the Fox Demon in this invasion."

For a long time, the Fox Demon cooperated with the Demon Race, occupying large areas of human cities... jointly plundering human life force and souls.

But this time, the Demon Race went solo in the plundering.

"If the Demon Race invades next time, make sure to inform me."

Li Qian stated.

The Demon Race was so ruthlessly slaughtering the Human Clan... now that he is a top-tier Great Saint, and not far from becoming a Supreme Saint, he naturally could not tolerate such a tragedy happening again.
