Chapter 234
"Your Young Master’s Sword Dao is no weaker than mine, he is completely capable of teaching you in my stead!" Lucian shook his head.
The strength Adam had just displayed was already superior to his own.
Once upon a time, both Adam and Cecilia had needed his protection, but now, he found himself falling behind.
This gave him an intense sense of crisis, he had chosen to reincarnate specifically to become stronger.
Now, it was time for him to seek out a broader sky.
...
The Demon Race’s Eastern Advancement Army Camp, Commander’s Camp.
At this moment, violent winds were raging inside.
The entire military tent was blown away, revealing a man with a demonic crest on his forehead radiating overwhelming demonic energy, surrounded by a group of shivering Demon generals.
"What exactly is going on?! Why are all the people we sent out dead?!"
"Nearly twenty Fourth Heaven Deities! That’s enough to completely flatten an entire region!"
"How did they all die?!"
"Is a single Innate Dao Body really that hard to capture?!"
"And the Heavenly Demon Tracking Map?! Was it just taken by someone?!"
"Over twenty Fourth Heaven Deity experts!"
"Even with the Heaven and Earth Shackles lifted, apart from those Imperial Clans, who could possibly possess so many experts?!"
"Out of more than a dozen of our people plus the hidden Demon cultivators, not a single one survived?! Why?!"
"Can someone tell me why?!"
The demonic crest on his forehead flickered, his furious roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire camp to tremble.
Still, no one dared to answer.
Their plan had failed yet again. moreover, they had lost a surprise attack squad.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Demon Tracking Map was lost, although it wasn’t a supreme treasure, its unique tracking capabilities made it an artifact highly valued by the Demon Race.
This price was somewhat unacceptable, mainly because they had gained absolutely nothing in return.
It was a total loss.
"How do you expect me to explain this to the Lord?!" The demonic crest grew increasingly vibrant, as if countless demonic souls were struggling within it, terrifying coercion continued to permeate the entire camp.
Everyone was as silent as winter cicadas.
The Demon army was not like the Human Race, where killing a compatriot resulted in strict punishment.
The Demon Race didn’t have that many rules.
The strong exerted absolute suppression over the weak, let alone now, when they had just experienced a crushing defeat.
At this moment, a Demon general wearing a black cape braced himself and said tremblingly, "Commander, it’s Adam... Adam has returned! Someone managed to send a message back right before they died, they were originally on the verge of success, but Adam suddenly appeared and killed everyone!"
"Adam?!" The crested man’s brows locked together tightly, and he slammed his fist onto the table, the entire table instantly turned to fine powder.
This was the second time he had heard this name. "He really didn’t die! This bastard came out to ruin my plans again!"
The general spoke up again. "Should we dispatch experts to hunt down the Innate Dao Body once more? We can pinpoint the location of the Heavenly Demon Tracking Map."
A cold glint flashed in the crested man’s eyes, he glared viciously at the general and roared, "Trash! With so many people, you couldn’t even capture a single Innate Dao Body! So what if we know the location? Can you even catch her?!"
The generals lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
The crested man took a deep breath, suppressing his fury, he knew this was an outcome no one could have anticipated.
They knew the Innate Dao Body was protected by a reincarnated Sword Saint, which was why they had dispatched so many experts.
Yet they had all died.
Who should they send now? With Adam’s appearance, sending more people would be useless, furthermore, it wasn’t as if he could dispatch troops as he pleased.
The Heavenly Court monitored the entire Three Thousand Worlds, with the Demon Race formally declaring war on the Human Race, surveillance was even stricter.
If their deployed strength was too high, they would easily be discovered.
The Fourth Heaven of the Deity Realm was the absolute limit they could conceal from the Heavenly Court using secret techniques.
At this time, a tall, skinny Demon cultivator wearing a blood-red robe spoke with a thoughtful expression.
"Commander, I feel we cannot rashly send anyone else into the Eastern Continent."
The crested man’s expression turned even uglier. "Then how am I supposed to explain this to the Lord? Are we just going to abandon the Heavenly Demon Tracking Map?"
"Commander, please don’t be anxious, I never said we wouldn’t retrieve it, it’s just that our losses are too great right now, sending out the same lineup would likely just be sending them to their deaths."
"Why don’t we leak the information to the Nova Clan? Adam’s reappearance will definitely drive them crazy as well."
"Letting the Nova Clan do the hunting is the best approach," the robed man smiled faintly.
"Then, all we need to do is ambush the Nova Clan."
A trace of hesitation flashed in the crested man’s eyes, but he ultimately nodded. "Then let’s do it your way, ensure the candidates and the ambush location are thoroughly prepared, I do not want to hear any more news of failure!"
"Also, get someone to retrieve the military tent, and set up a new meeting table!"
The generals promptly complied, the crested man’s eyes were filled with heaviness.
If this failure could not be salvaged, his position would face a massive threat, he dared not incur the Lord’s wrath.
...
Meanwhile, in the distant Mysterious Yellow Great World.
Adam and Cecilia were waving goodbye to Lucian, he had already sacrificed too much for them, he had successfully protected Cecilia until she achieved the Deity Realm.
It was impossible for him to continue protecting them for the rest of their journey.
"Young Master, once I become strong, I will definitely rebuild the Sword Sect!" Cecilia looked at Lucian’s retreating back, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Alright, I’ll help you!" Adam nodded, he had just learned that Lucian had actually disbanded the Sword Sect, he firmly memorized this massive favor!
