Chapter 2785: Again, Panlongcheng!

"If the Heavenly Demons knew my brother could descend upon the Earth Mother Plains and still brazenly invaded, it means they've prepared to deal with him! In other words..."

Without He Yue needing to remind him, Mingke Xianren was startled: "The Heavenly Demons certainly aren't limited to just this much strength on the surface!"

The name of the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, who slays immortals and kills gods, is far-reaching; besides, this is the Earth Mother Plains, and the Emperor occupies the advantage of the land here. Would the Lingxu crowd really think sending some ordinary immortals and demons could capture him?

Therefore, they must have prepared a stronger opponent for the Emperor!

A stronger opponent above immortals and demons—could it be...?

Thinking of this, Mingke Xianren shuddered with horror.

At this moment, Lingjinbao came over, pointing at the wall and saying: "The enemy is coming!"

The little stone figure had already raised his hand and tapped the wall beside him twice; the wall surface rippled like water and transformed into a scene:

A troop of Heavenly Demons rushing toward this place, hurrying along.

The angle chosen by the little stone figure was quite high, basically a forty-five-degree downward view from midair, so everyone could see their faces.

In a few more breaths, the Heavenly Demons will be able to reach here.

Lingjinbao asked Mingke Xianren: "Still fighting?"

The reminder from the Crown Prince of Shen State makes sense; perhaps there is an unparalleled strong enemy hidden among the Heavenly Demon troops. They had fought two battles before without encountering him, possibly due to sheer luck.

But such strong individuals are few; after fighting one more battle, will they definitely meet him?

The number of Heavenly Demons sneaking into the Earth Mother Plains this time is truly too great; taking advantage of their not yet having gathered, if we can kill even one, it will relieve some pressure for the upcoming frontal confrontation. Otherwise, even if the Emperor himself arrives, trying to turn the tide would be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Mingke Xianren gritted his teeth and made up his mind:

"Fight!"

Is He Yue's reminder unreasonable? It's very reasonable.

But as the weaker side, they can only seek big gains from small efforts. The only thing they can do now is actually just one thing:

Gamble!

Gamble that this operation still has luck protecting them.

Half an incense stick later, including Gengyue, all Heavenly Demons on the Earth Mother Plains received two pieces of good news:

First, Tongming Zhenjun's team dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, killing over 1,200, slaying one immortal, three commanders, and more than ten cultivators!

Earlier, the Cangyan people, relying on their advantage as landlords on the Earth Mother Plains, slaughtered twenty sky gods; all sky gods felt this was unreasonable—just a few thousand soldiers killing so many comrades? Too arrogant!

Now hearing this news, the gods said:

That's more like it.

Invincible in all directions—this is the proper rhythm for sky gods descending into the mortal world.

However, Tongming Zhenjun's small team also lost three Heavenly Demons.

Why weren't the Cangyan immortals all captured?

It's still because the Cangyan people have a huge advantage of free movement on the Earth Mother Plains, and the immortals are slippery, with many escape divine abilities, making them hard to kill.

But after this battle, Cangyan learned to restrain themselves and dare not act rashly.

This second piece of good news comes from another team of Heavenly Demons, named Quyang Shangren. They are very close to the place where Binyu was sniped:

"We found the Panlong Ruins!"

Because Binyu's god had previously approached the Panlong Ruins, the Cangyan people rushed over to block them.

Upon hearing this, all Heavenly Demons rejoiced greatly.

The Panlong Ruins are their most important target in this expedition. Earlier, they split into seven routes searching for this long, yet never found the Panlong Ruins' location. The Earth Mother Plains' total area is just this big; they've already explored six or seven tenths of it—see how bad their luck was.

Fortunately, they finally found it.

The Celestial Venerable ordered: "Go ahead—all fleeing enemies will be waiting there to die!"

As the words fell, a long howl echoed across the plains, audible near and far.

This was Quyang Shangren, who had found the target, gathering his companions with the most direct method.

All Heavenly Demons on the plains, upon receiving the message, turned together and rushed toward Panlong Ancient City!

And outside Panlong Ancient City, Quyang Shangren's group of Heavenly Demons had already approached the towering Chengnan Gate.

Earlier, they had seen so many Panlong Ancient Cities under the illusionary fog of the Mirage Secret Realm; now they finally found the original version.

Quyang Shangren took a deep breath, as if still remembering the biting wind on the Panlong Wasteland over a hundred years ago.

Yes, he also participated in that earth-shattering great war.

"This place is still so hateful." The memories left by the Panlong Battle for anyone are not pleasant, including the sky gods themselves.

Quyang Shangren is also an ancient god, just like Tongming Zhenjun and Lingxu Shengzun; he took such a name to quickly gather human faith.

A voice behind him chimed in: "After obtaining the Great Square Vase, we will destroy this place. This time, we must level it completely."

Panlongcheng again!

They don't mind slaughtering the city again in two hundred years!

No matter when, anything related to this city—people and affairs—has caused the sky gods great trouble.

Since that's the case, let's erase it from history, so it doesn't hinder them from writing new glory!

Mingke Xianren stood at the city gate, coldly staring at them.

Yangsheng stepped out and said softly: "Everyone has entered the Secret Realm. Let's go, we'll go in to prepare for battle."

Mingke Xianren swallowed a mouthful of bitterness, silently turning around.

This was their third attack, and it failed.

Mingke Xianren lost this bet; the Earth Mother Plains suffered heavy losses.

The enemy was too strong; even the little stone figure's incarnation was shattered on the spot!

Of course, it's just a manifestation; it can still be manifested again.

But the giant black eagle demon immortal Shan Ke beside He Yue sacrificed himself heroically to cover their retreat.

The Great Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Demon differ by only one character in name, but their strength is worlds apart. That everyone managed to escape back is already a miracle.

The location of Panlong Ancient City has been exposed, and all heavenly demons are coming here. The Cangyan people have no other choice but to prepare to defend the ancient city.

This battle will inevitably come, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

Although the Earth Mother's avatar did its best to obstruct, soon afterward, the heavenly demons on the plain still gathered here.

Geng Yue's group was the second-to-last to arrive, while Team Zhenjun Tongming was still on the way due to the great distance.

Including Shangren Quyang, all the heavenly demons bowed to the venerable one behind Him:

"Jialou Venerable!"

Yes, the true identity of this "Venerable" is He Lingchuan's old rival, Jialou Tian.

The previous invasion of Yujing City was also led by him, so this return can be said to be revisiting old grounds—though people and things have changed, the opponent remains the same.

Gazing at the magnificent southern gate of Panlongcheng before him, Jialou Tian pointed his hand at it:

"Smash it."

At His command, the heavenly demons began their ritual. After a few breaths, meteors flashed across the night sky, carrying an eerie green light as they came this way.

At first scattered specks, they grew nearer and revealed their immense size. Even the heavenly demons could hear them howling as they approached.

Meteorites rained from the heavens!

Before the eyes of the heavenly demons, over thirty massive meteorites, each at least five zhang in diameter, struck the Earth Mother Plain with precise impact, covering the entire southern gate area of Panlong Ancient City.
