Chapter 594: Chapter 593: A Strong Wind Rises

The Demon Lord emerged from seclusion — what did this signify?

It meant that the ruler of the Demon Realm would personally lead them to burst forth from this land to plunder more exquisite "Blood Food."

And in the eyes of the Demon Clan, the most exquisite "Blood Food" was naturally the Human Clan!

For the Demon Clan, the blood and qi of the Human Clan possessed various wonderful uses, allowing them to evolve rapidly.

And the stronger the human, the more attractive they were to them.

Legend had it that an ancestor of the Demon Clan, who was originally a lowly demon without Spiritual Wisdom and knew only fighting, accidentally consumed a Great Cultivator of the Saint Realm from the Human Clan and evolved directly into a Demon Marshal!

After completely devouring that Saint Realm Great Cultivator, he had become a Demon King.

This was why the Demon Clan favored human flesh so much.

To them, the Human Clan was irresistibly tempting.

It should be mentioned here.

The Demon Clan did not need to consume the Human Clan continually to survive.

Rather, to them, the Human Clan was the most tempting "Blood Food"!

This was akin to how human cultivators pursue a Sacred Land for cultivation.

An ordinary cultivation site also possesses nature’s spiritual energy and can be used for cultivation.

But if one could enter a Sacred Land, the nature’s spiritual energy would naturally double, and the speed of cultivation would increase exponentially.

In short, it was a pursuit of a higher level.

However, the Demon Clan’s pursuit of a higher level was built on the death of the Human Clan.

This was why the Demon Clan and the Human Clan were irreconcilable.

Why did Ye Xuan say the people of the Demon Clan are vile creatures?

It was because of the aforementioned reasons.

He did not deny that the slaughter of humans by the Demon Clan was a natural Dao of the universe, but upon witnessing such acts, he would most definitely intervene.

Because Ye Xuan stood on the side of the Human Clan.

"Sick Dragon, how do you view this matter?"

Gray Wolf Demon Emperor turned to the Sick Dragon Demon Emperor beside him, speaking in a hollow voice.

As he looked at Sick Dragon Demon Emperor, the arrogance on Gray Wolf Demon Emperor’s face visibly subdued, his eyes also containing a trace of respect.

In the Demon Clan, the principle was to respect the powerful.

And Sick Dragon Demon Emperor was the second most formidable among the ten Demon Emperors.

Even Gray Wolf Demon Emperor felt some awe towards such a figure.

Indeed, this was because Gray Wolf Demon Emperor had once challenged him, but could not withstand three moves and was defeated.

Just because of this, he felt respect.

The always sickly pale-faced young man in a white robe weakly coughed a few times, his gaze calmly fixed on the distance, his voice barely audible as he said, "Wherever our gaze reaches, all shall belong to our Demon Realm."

Wherever our gaze reaches, all shall belong to our Demon Realm!

What a domineering statement.

A tendency of the powerful in the Demon Clan was to subconsciously gaze into the distance.

At the other end was the exit of the Demon Realm, guarded by the Mo family.

Was their gaze merely fixed there?

Of course not!

It extended beyond the exit of the Demon Realm to the vast expanse of the East Desolation Domain!

That place was their paradise!

For thousands of years, they had constantly thought of breaking into the East Desolation Domain to gorge themselves.

However, due to constant internal conflicts within the Demon Realm and the powerful Mo family guarding it for millions of years without letting their guard down,

it was only this time that the Demon Lord cast a spell that rendered the land’s rules unstable, giving the Mo family a false signal.

Thus, the Mo family loosened their guard a bit.

In these twenty years, they had indeed felt that the Mo family’s defense was not as solid as before.

Some said it was because of an incident involving Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter Mo Yunchui.

This person had only lived for about five thousand years, yet he possessed power comparable to a Demon King, truly troubling the Demon Clan.

In theory, the Demon Clan could simply send a superior Demon King or Demon Emperor to suppress this Demon Slaughter.

But no one did so.

Because they all knew that once they made a move, the Mo family would dispatch even stronger figures, and then their situation would be even worse.

Moreover, with frequent infighting and seeing their rivals weakened, they were pleased and would not intervene.

This was also why they nearly watched Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter grow from a youth to his current state.

An inexplicable sorrow.

But all that was in the past now.

Because now,

the Demon Lord Himself had ordered, and had even decided to come out of seclusion personally, to unify the Demon Realm, and to launch an assault on the East Desolation.

This battle would be historic.

"Second brother, remember to eat more when we go to the East Desolation this time, and take good care of your body,"

the only elderly-looking man in a black robe next to him gently stroked his beard, smiling faintly.

"You worry too much, big brother. Unfortunately, with this body of mine, born this way, it can’t be helped," the sickly young man managed a weak smile, but it was forced.

The entire person appeared frail, as if he could die at any moment.

Yet no one dared to underestimate him.

Because this sickly-looking young man was none other than Sick Dragon Demon Emperor.

And the black-robed old man who called Sick Dragon Demon Emperor his second brother was even more distinguished.

The leader of the ten Demon Emperors — Changsheng Demon Emperor.

A peerless powerhouse who had always followed beside the Demon Lord, and who had occupied a position among the top ten Demon Emperors for the longest time.

Upon hearing the Sick Dragon Demon Emperor’s words, Changsheng Demon Emperor was about to add a few more words.

However, in the next moment, his expression turned solemn.

It was not just Changsheng Demon Emperor; the rest of the top ten Demon Emperors, the middle-ranked and lower-ranked Demon Emperors behind them, numerous Demon Kings, and the millions-strong Demon Clan army, all adopted a solemn expression.

"We, welcome the arrival of the Demon Lord!"

The top ten Demon Emperors spoke in unison, each kneeling on one knee, heads bowed, faces full of fervor.

It was as if at this moment, the top ten Demon Emperors had also transformed into the most faithful followers, awaiting the descent of a god.

This analogy was quite appropriate.

For in this vast Demon Realm, the Demon Lord was that sole god.

Whether the top ten Demon Emperors or other strong members of the Demon Clan, they were all the most faithful followers in front of the Demon Lord.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

There, above the sky dome in front of them, a thousand-zhang-tall face formed from the rolling Demon Clouds gazed down upon the millions-strong army of the Demon Clan.

"Depart."

A mighty demonic sound cascaded down from the sky.

"We shall follow our Lord’s command!"

The top ten Demon Emperors spoke in unison.

They didn’t inquire why their Lord’s true body had not descended; they only needed to know what the Demon Lord said, and they would do just that.

That was enough.

The Demon Lord had already given his command.

What they needed to do now was to act!

"Depart!"

Changsheng Demon Emperor swung his large sleeve and, taking the lead, transformed into a black rainbow that tore through the sky.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

The rest of the nine Demon Emperors swiftly followed, with Gray Wolf Demon Emperor even making eerie cries.

——————

At this very moment, at the exit of the Demon Realm, in the direction of the North Gate.

"It’s Mr. Ye!"

When the Mo family Guard General on the city wall saw the approaching figure, he was overjoyed and without a second thought, he opened the barrier for Ye Xuan, letting him fly in.

Ye Xuan flew towards the several Mo family Guard Generals.

"Mr. Ye!"

Seeing Ye Xuan approaching, several Mo family Guard Generals all respectfully saluted.

Click—Click—

Then, these Mo family Guard Generals had their necks brutally snapped by Ye Xuan.

These Mo family Guard Generals hadn’t even realized what was happening; they didn’t understand why ’Mr. Ye’ would attack them.

"You..."

"It’s not Mr. Ye!"

Among them, the strongest Mo family guard, retaining a sliver of consciousness, glanced at the ’Ye Xuan’ whose eyes flickered with a cold shine, and realized the truth.

Unfortunately, it was already too late...

’Ye Xuan’ acted, taking away the last bit of that person’s vitality, and then a brutal scene unfolded.

He started to eat these Mo family Guard Generals’ corpses!

While eating, he remarked, "This guy’s identity is quite useful, Mr. Ye..."

"Heh heh."

A moment later.

Nothing was left behind, and this impostor Ye Xuan burped, looking towards the distance, seemingly waiting for something.

The same incident occurred successively at the North Gate, South Gate, and West Gate.

All were Ye Xuan.

After all was done, they opened the barrier.

This place’s barrier needed the consent from four directions to be opened.

This was an insurance set up by the Mo family to prevent an invasion by members of the Demon Clan.

Only now, it was pointless.

All four gates had been breached.

And they left two Mo family Guard Generals to return and report.

Ye Xuan colluded with the Demon Clan and had opened the barrier.

...

And at this very moment, the real Ye Xuan was gradually nearing the West Gate.

To avoid a direct conflict with the Demon Clan’s massive army, Ye Xuan chose to go through the West Gate.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that, because of the matter with the Demon King, the Demon Clan’s army had also chosen to attack from the West Gate.

But it wasn’t a big problem, because the Demon Clan’s army hadn’t yet caught up.

"Hmm?"

As Ye Xuan emerged from underground back to the surface, his eyes narrowed, looking toward the figure on the West Gate’s city wall.

That person was also looking at him.

Two Ye Xuans, facing each other.

A surge of murderous intent arose instantly...

(PS: I was dragged out for drinks by a friend yesterday and didn’t get back until 3 a.m., apologies...)
