Chapter 33

The people around them discovered the deity they worshipped and bowed their heads devoutly.

"My Lord Emperor."

Jiang Yan suddenly spoke.

Morax turned his head to look at him.

"Speak to them. As a leader, one must make a pre-war declaration before battle, mustn't one?"

Jiang Yan turned and left.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing this, Morax hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to change into a battle robe. I can't possibly go to war wearing a long gown, can I?"

"This young man..."

Morax smiled and shook his head, then turned to face the thousand rock soldiers before him, their eyes burning with passion and their faces full of reverence.

After a good while, a youth wearing a cyan-gold battle robe appeared beside Morax.

Speaking of which, this cyan-gold battle robe was sewn for him by Cloud Retainer.

When Jiang Yan first received it, he had been overjoyed for a long time.

To this day, this battle robe has finally been put to its true use.

Looking at the high-spirited thousand rock soldiers, Jiang Yan smiled and said to Morax:

"It seems your encouragement was quite effective."

The corners of Morax's mouth curled slightly upward as he patted Jiang Yan's shoulder.

"Be sure to stay safe this time."

Jiang Yan nodded, turned, and addressed the assembled soldiers:

"Thousand Rock Soldiers, listen to orders!"

Over ten thousand thousand rock soldiers slammed their spears to the ground, standing straight.

"March!"

Under the gaze of the common people, the thousand rock soldiers marched in great numbers toward Starfell Lake.

Morax stood quietly there, his gaze fixed on the figure walking at the very front of the marching column in the distance.

"Worried about him?"

Lady Guizhong walked forward quietly and spoke softly.

"Ah..."

Morax responded softly.

"Chi is an old demon god; no one knows what trump cards he possesses. Jiang Yan is still in the reckless age of youth, so I am naturally somewhat worried."

Seeing Morax's words, which were like those of an old father worrying, Lady Guizhong covered her mouth and smiled.

"Relax, little Jiang Yan's strength is already no weaker than yours or Ifrit's. You must believe in him."

Morax nodded, then turned to say to Lady Guizhong: "Tell all the immortals not to leave yet. Although Jiang Yan has taken over the main battlefield, both logistics and the deployment against the demon gods on other borders of Guizhong Plain still need to be arranged."

"Mm."

Lady Guizhong nodded and left the place.

Only Morax was left alone.

Morax looked at the surging army ahead until it was no longer visible, then he too left.

The commotion at Guizhong Plain could naturally not be hidden from the other demon gods.

Dunyu Ling

The Dream Demon God, with a bewitching face and a seductive figure, stood quietly on a hillside.

She crossed her arms, a hint of amusement on her bewitching face.

Morax... in merely twenty years, he has actually grown to such an extent.

Pity he can only grow this far.

If only he could be controlled...

Perhaps the great cause could be achieved!

"Dream God! Chi has sent word, requesting you act according to the agreement."

A figure in a black robe flashed into view and knelt on one knee.

"Mm, have all the yakshas gathered?"

The Dream Demon God did not turn around, asking only indifferently.

"Yes, but... their condition does not seem very good."

The person in the black robe spoke.

"Heh... a bunch of beasts addicted to dreams who know only slaughter. As long as they can go to battle, what does it matter if their condition is good or not?"

Clearly, the Dream Demon God did not care at all about the mental state of this group of yakshas.

"... The Dream God speaks truth!"

The person in the black robe fell silent for a moment, then bowed his head in agreement.

"Prepare to depart for Starfell Lake."

"Wait for the opportune moment."

After giving these instructions, the Dream Demon God's figure suddenly vanished.

The person in the black robe did not look up; he simply stood and left with his head bowed.

The various demon gods all made moves, yet only Yunlai Sea seemed to have no commotion at all.

A few days later.

Dihua Province

Chi led his subordinates and the army of demonic beasts under his control, formally entering Dihua Province and pressing toward Guiliyuan.

They met head-on with the Thousand Rock Army led by Jiang Yan.

War, at this moment—

Was about to erupt!
