Chapter 1479 - 539: Shocking Night Attack
Of course, achieving great feats is a good thing, but right now the Huangquan Team lacks the opportunity for such accomplishments. How can a team of just over ten people withstand the Demon Clan’s attack?
This time, even the daring ones like Qin Xiaochuan were startled by Ye Lingyue’s actions!
"If you trust me, just wait. Before long, we’ll be able to leave Fang Ah County."
Everyone else was at a loss, unsure of Ye Lingyue’s intentions.
Subsequently, Ye Lingyue took out the Phoenix Token and contacted Di Shen.
"Yes, Sixth Sister-in-law, you can contact Sixth Brother and ask him to report our situation to the Wuling City Lord. He is highly respected, and the people of Jiu Provinces Alliance will definitely believe what he says."
Just when everyone thought Ye Lingyue would seek aid from Di Shen, her subsequent words left the team members even more puzzled.
Indeed, Ye Lingyue informed Di Shen about the Demon Road, but she instructed him to let the Wuling City Lord report to Jiu Provinces Alliance three days later.
Additionally, she told Di Shen about Little Jiu Nian’s letter, asking him to investigate its source.
"Fortunately, Little Jiu Nian has successfully reached the Demon World. His letter mentioned that he arrived at Beiyu Palace in the Demon World and apprenticed himself to a family named Chi, with one member called Chi Ye. This person should return to the Central Plains soon, and you should think of a way to contact them."
Due to concerns about eavesdropping, Ye Lingyue only provided a brief overview of the situation.
However, she specifically avoided mentioning their imprisonment in the cell.
Beside her, Qin Xiaochuan was getting anxious, intending to speak up about their predicament, but Guangzi stepped on his foot, causing him to wince in pain.
"Ling Yue’s word is final; she’s much smarter than you, Big Fool."
Guangzi said irritably.
He’s known since childhood that Sister is the most clever among the three siblings.
But previously, Sister was kind-hearted and rarely schemed against others, which ultimately led to her being harmed by deceitful men and women.
In recounting, Sister’s rebirth is like a phoenix rising from the ashes, not only mastering martial arts, but also adapting her ways of dealing with people.
Though Guangzi didn’t know Ye Lingyue’s specific plans, he truly believed Sister had a comprehensive strategy.
Following this, they didn’t need to do anything except quietly wait for the Demon Clan’s invasion.
Days passed by, and two days after Ye Lingyue and others were imprisoned in the cell.
On a certain deep night, within the territory of one of the two major Demon Kings in the Central Plains, the Golden Horn King.
Night was dark, under the pitch-black sky, pairs of red or green eyes gleamed with fiendish light.
A sturdy figure, their skin even golden, emerged—a Six Feet Demon Clan with a golden horn atop their head.
Their golden scales densely packed onto their body, with demonic power reaching a realm of transcendence, leaving half-inch footprints with each step.
Aside from their astonishing demonic power, this demon’s golden horn was quite unique.
The horn, slightly smaller than a rhino horn, radiated brilliant demonic marks, resembling lightning, occasionally emitting bluish-purple lightning flashes.
"Demon King’s demonic power is boundless!"
Over five thousand elite demon soldiers donned demon armor and wielded heavy soldier shields, each with eyes bright and lively.
Upon seeing the golden-horned man emerge, the demon soldiers struck their shields with their weapons, producing thunderous sounds that echoed across the open plains, raising morale sky-high.
"Soldiers, in recent times, the human clan’s Wild Hunt has wantonly slaughtered our brothers and kin. Many of your brothers and sisters have died at human hands—their demon cores taken, their heads severed, blood flowing like rivers. I know each of you harbors pent-up anger. It’s time to repay blood with blood, surprise and strike them!"
The man was none other than one of the two major Demon Kings stationed in the Central Plains, the Golden Horn Demon King.
This individual’s cultivation involved a variant thunder attribute demonic power, and his skills were exceptionally formidable.
Having received orders from the South Nether Empress, he began covert reconnaissance, spending over a month and sacrificing hundreds of elite pangolin beast soldiers, finally connecting an underground tunnel leading to the Central Plains and Fang Ah County.
The entire matter remained completely secretive.
Even the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s spies were entirely kept in the dark.
The tunnel stretched over five to six hundred miles, endlessly winding, capable of accommodating two demon soldiers walking side by side.
In just a single day and night, they could infiltrate the outskirts of the Central Plains.
Golden Horn’s spies had found out clearly that area is a major food supply zone for the human clan.
However, the foolish human clan hadn’t stationed additional forces there; reportedly, at the frontline in Fang Ah County, only two pathetic teams were guarding.
Moreover, those two teams were merely of Nine Tier level.
Seizing Fang Ah County and the surrounding seven to eight logistics towns wouldn’t require much effort.
Without the logistics town’s supplies, the human clan demon hunters in the Central Plains would face a shortage of food and water in the coming months.
If not for the remaining influence of the Marquis Zhongyuan preventing Demon King level involvement, the Golden Horn Demon King would’ve loved to lead the five thousand elite soldiers, infiltrate through the secret tunnel, and wipe out the entire human clan.
However, even without the presence of Demon King level beings, the five thousand elite against two teams far exceeds what’s necessary.
"Green Evil Demon, this surprise attack is entrusted to you."
Beside the Golden Horn Demon King, a wolf clan demon general stepped forth.
This demon was a powerful green wolf, no less formidable than the demon generals under the Netherworld Emperor’s throne, among the human warriors in the Small Divine Power Realm, and personally appointed by the Golden Horn Demon King this time.
"Rest assured, Demon King, Green Evil will not fail."
The green wolf’s mouth dripped with copious white saliva, and its eyes were filled with blood-red strands.
Thinking of the demon soldiers’ sharp claws, which would tear into the throats of those weak humans and savor the sweet and delicious blood, Green Evil Demon let out an excited roar.
Just before dawn, the darkest time of day.
Demon soldiers entered the tunnel, advancing towards Fang Ah County.
"Sixth Brother, the Demon Clan really dug the Demon Road."
Not far away, behind a seemingly inconspicuous pile of rocks, two pairs of keen eyes glimmered.
Wuyue watched uneasily as thousands of demon soldiers entered the tunnel, and upon seeing clearly the number and equipment of the soldiers, she felt a chill from head to toe.
Tonight, Sixth Brother, who typically preferred solo action, suddenly called for her, and the two infiltrated this Demon Clan area.
It was a great discovery, unexpected that the Demon Clan would secretly dig the Demon Road. If not discovered tonight, then Fang Ah County and its surroundings would certainly become fish on the Demon Clan’s chopping board.
Wuyue recalled simultaneously, Fang Ah County, wasn’t it the county where Sixth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother were previously dispatched?
This is not good, Sixth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother are in danger!
