Chapter 1845: Controlling the Demon Cave

Everyone had become accustomed to eating demon ingredients; that deliciousness was something the Demon Race could not compare to at all.

Therefore, although they had captured many ingredients in this battle, as the saying goes, stagnant water cannot withstand constant scooping.

So they must consider how to achieve sustainable development.

Ancestor Bai's words were agreed upon by all the Great Emperor ancestors present. However, now, the demons outside the city had either fled, died, or been captured; they were gone. Were they supposed to wait for the demon reinforcements?

But what if the Demon Race didn't come?

"If we just wait idly, we are too passive."

"Correct. This is equivalent to handing the initiative completely to the Demon Race. Whether they come or not, we have no way to guarantee it, so we cannot just wait like this."

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

"I do have an idea."

Yu Mo spoke up. Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on him. Seeing this, Yu Mo did not waste words and simply said.

"The Demon Race must pass through the Demon Cave to enter the Haotu World. So, as long as we control the Demon Cave, it is equivalent to mastering the initiative, and we can also respond immediately..."

Control the Demon Cave? Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This method seemed feasible.

As long as they held the Demon Cave in their hands, the operability would be much greater.

"Yes, yes, this method is good."

"I agree."

"I also agree."

This idea was good, and the ancestors soon nodded in agreement.

Over the next few days, the ancestors began to arrange the departure.

It was naturally impossible for everyone to go to the Demon Cave, and Tianhong Pass still needed people to guard it.

Although as long as the Demon Cave ahead was fine, no one would threaten Tianhong Pass, they still had to be steady.

Therefore, someone needed to stay behind to guard Tianhong Pass.

Regarding the candidates, not a single Great Saint Elder was willing.

They all knew that Ye Changqing was also going to the Demon Cave. If they stayed at Tianhong Pass, wouldn't they have nothing to eat?

So, everyone tried to hide as much as possible.

"Well, my combat power is the strongest, so I should be the one to guard the Demon Cave."

"What a joke, my sword technique is unparalleled."

"Since both of you are so strong, the heavy responsibility of guarding Tianhong Pass will be handed to you."

"Hmm???"

"I think Elder Chen is steady in his work and suitable for guarding Tianhong Pass."

"Fart! I have been feeling dizzy lately and fear I cannot bear this heavy responsibility. How about Junior Brother Wang?"

"Me? I... I have been suffering from Qi deviation lately and fear I might ruin the big event. How about we look at others?"

The Great Saint Elders of the three major sacred grounds and the sect masters of the major sects were not willing to guard Tianhong Pass.

One by one, they had countless excuses. The original intention was to gather everyone to discuss Tianhong Pass, but looking at the scene of the Great Saints pushing the responsibility onto each other, the ancestors' mouths twitched.

Good heavens, not a single one was willing to stay and guard Tianhong Pass?

This was one of the three great majestic passes of the Human Race, the gateway of the Human Race. How important was its status? How could there be no one to guard it?

Even in normal times, Tianhong Pass must have a Great Saint present to guard it.

Since no one was willing, they could only arrange it by force.

Just as the Great Emperor ancestors were about to speak, Until Hong Zun suddenly stood up and said.

"Master, this disciple has something to say."

Hmm???

Seeing it was Until Hong Zun, Yun Xiantai was stunned. What kind of tricks was this kid playing again? He frowned slightly but still nodded.

"Speak."

"In this disciple's opinion, the crisis at Tianhong Pass has been resolved. Since the three major sacred grounds are each responsible for one majestic pass, and Tianhong Pass is the responsibility of the Yaochi Sacred Ground, it should naturally be guarded by people from the Yaochi Sacred Ground."

"Fellow Daoist Hong's words are correct."

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"You agree to a fart! Why should it be people from our Yaochi Sacred Ground?"

"Just because Tianhong Pass is originally the responsibility of your Yaochi Sacred Ground."

"I... you..."

Until Hong Zun's words made the Great Saint Elders of the Yaochi Sacred Ground unable to sit still.

Listen to what you are saying! We are fellow Daoists; how can you treat us like this?

The Great Saint Elders of the Yaochi Sacred Ground, all with outstanding appearances and different temperaments, stared at Until Hong Zun with extremely resentful eyes.

However, Until Hong Zun had no intention of paying attention to these gazes. Just kidding, would he, Until Hong Zun, care about such looks?

Having lived with Wang Tieshu for all these years, Until Hong Zun's heart had long been as cold as the sword in his hand.

"This..."

At this, even the Great Emperor ancestors on the main seats hesitated. After all, these words sounded somewhat reasonable.

The elders of the Yaochi Sacred Ground strongly opposed it, while the Dao One Sacred Ground and the Yunluo Sacred Ground were in complete agreement.

Finally, with no other choice, the ancestors decided to adopt a rotation system.

The Great Saint Elders would take turns, so everyone would have a chance to eat, and the ingredients obtained from the front would also be sent regularly.

Although it wouldn't be made by Ye Changqing himself, it would still satisfy their cravings.

This was the fairest method. Seeing this, everyone reluctantly agreed.

With preparations complete, the previous Demon God ingredients were also finished by the ancestors and Ye Changqing.

On this day, the Human Race army marched straight out of Tianhong Pass, and according to the prior plan, led by the three major sacred grounds, they headed straight for the five Demon Caves.

The locations of the Demon Caves had been determined in advance, and it seemed the Demon Race had planned it intentionally.

The five Demon Caves were not far from each other and formed a horn-like formation.

Perhaps this was to make it easier for the Demon Race to gather when they first arrived in the Haotu World.

But now, it was convenient for the Human Race side.

According to the ancestors, they would set up a Human Race camp in the middle of the five Demon Caves.

On one hand, it would serve as logistics and a place for cooking.

Places like the kitchen would be set up here.

Subsequent ingredients obtained would also be stored here.

After two days of travel, a portion of the human cultivators arrived at the designated camp location, and the ancestors brought out the Spirit Cities.

Several Spirit Cities were connected, and soon a city of considerable scale was formed.

Although its defensive capability could not compare to a real city, it looked quite good.

At least compared to the Demon Race's "heaven as a quilt, earth as a bed," it was a world of difference.

The remaining human cultivators headed to the five Demon Caves respectively to control them and capture the demon ingredients in the surrounding area.

All human cultivators acted methodically according to the plan.

And outside one of the Demon Caves, the ten demonic cultivators who had escaped death finally found this place.

Seeing the entrance of the Demon Cave from afar, the ten demonic cultivators couldn't help but show excited smiles.

"Found it! We finally found it!"

"Is the sacred ground located behind this? I really want to go see the sacred ground."

"Don't worry, one day we will go. Once we defeat the Human Race, we will definitely gain the Demon God's recognition, and then we can go to the sacred ground." ===== CHAPTER 1846 =====
