Chapter 2304: The advantage is with me
Yi Qi didn't intend to retreat just like that. Last time, he suffered from incorrect intelligence, which led to Bei Zun's total defeat.
This time, Yi Qi would not make the same mistake again.
And this time, it was the Demon Emperor personally leading the expedition, so Yi Qi dared not make any mistakes.
Therefore, although facing the siege and interception of the powerhouses of various clans in the Haotu World, Yi Qi still ordered to continue collecting intelligence.
The Demons had no intention of retreating, even though in just a few days, they had already lost ten thousand Demon warriors.
Qi Xiong and the others had just captured a batch of Demon ingredients, and the Yunluo Holy Lord frowned slightly.
"These Demons still won't leave?"
"I'm afraid they want to determine the authenticity of the intelligence. After all, one can't be tripped in the same place twice."
"Then what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Continue."
Regarding Yi Qi's thoughts, Qi Xiong had long guessed them, but it didn't matter. If the Demons want to investigate, let them investigate.
As long as the matter of the Dongfang family isn't exposed, they can investigate however they want.
Everything continued according to the original plan, without the slightest holding back.
If they deliberately held back at this time, it would clearly be seen through, so the various clans not only didn't intend to hold back, but on the contrary, the encirclement and suppression of the Demons became increasingly intense.
This also led to heavy casualties among the Demon warriors under Yi Qi's command.
The dead were dead, and the captured were captured.
But even under such huge pressure, Yi Qi still bit the bullet and chose to continue scouting.
And this fellow had really collected a lot of information he wanted and had already contacted the Demon cultivators of the Haotu World.
For these Demon cultivators, they naturally couldn't miss this good opportunity to come into contact with the Demons.
This was the existence they worshipped as the main clan.
Being able to get the recognition of the Demons was undoubtedly the biggest wish in the hearts of these Demon cultivators.
With the help of these Demon cultivators, Yi Qi became even more handy in gathering intelligence.
After staying in the Haotu World for half a month, on this day, facing the heavy losses of his subordinates, Yi Qi finally issued an order to retreat.
But at this time, the Demon warriors brought by Yi Qi were already less than five thousand.
The rest of the Demons were either killed or captured, and even four Demon Gods were captured.
The losses were not painful, but Yi Qi didn't have much of a reaction.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the intelligence and to ensure that they wouldn't fall for the human race's tricks again, in Yi Qi's view, these losses were necessary.
Following Yi Qi's order to retreat, the Demon warriors under his command also gathered toward the Demon Cave one after another.
However, in the process of retreating, the Demon warriors under Yi Qi's command encountered several more encirclements by the powerhouses of various clans.
Especially when entering the Demon Cave, there were naturally powerhouses of various clans guarding the surroundings.
After a fierce battle, finally, the number of Demons following Yi Qi back to the Demon Realm was less than one thousand.
Tens of thousands entered the Haotu World, but only hundreds returned in the end.
Watching Yi Qi, who fled into the Demon Cave in a panic, Yun Xiantai and the others curled their lips. It looked like they hadn't aroused any suspicion.
"Demon Emperor ingredient, it's my first time coming into contact with one."
Yun Xiantai said with expectation. He didn't know how the strength of this Demon Emperor of the Demons was.
After Yi Qi successfully fled back to the Demon Realm, the various clans soon began to set up the battlefield.
Although they didn't have a fearful mentality toward the Demons, they couldn't be careless.
The Haotu World side had already begun preparations. On the other side, Yi Qi, who successfully fled back to the Demon Realm, rushed to meet Bo Xun immediately and told him the intelligence he had gathered in the Haotu World one by one truthfully.
While Yi Qi led people into the Haotu World, the crowd of Demon God Kings under Bo Xun also began to prepare at the same time.
Many Demon warriors constantly gathered in Yi Qi's territory. At this time, the five Demon Caves were all gathered with many Demon warriors.
And the news brought back by Yi Qi was mostly correct.
This time, he wasn't misled, and he seemed to have understood the situation in the Haotu World clearly enough.
But on the most critical issue, Yi Qi made a fatal mistake.
"The situation in the Haotu World is just like this, but they don't have an existence that can contend with the Demon Emperor. There is no Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse."
That there was no Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse in the Haotu World was something Yi Qi had confirmed repeatedly.
It wasn't just that those Demon cultivators said so; the cultivators of various clans in the Haotu World that Yi Qi personally captured also said the same.
Including Yi Qi using means to forcibly extract the other party's memory, there was no memory of the Emperor Venerable Realm in it either.
Thus, Yi Qi was 100% certain that there was no Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse in this Haotu World.
And without the Emperor Venerable Realm, it meant that the Haotu World was unable to deal with the Demon Emperor.
And the impact of an unconstrained Demon Emperor on the war situation could be imagined.
Therefore, when telling Bo Xun about the situation in the Haotu World, Yi Qi's face was full of confidence.
Even though the Demons had been defeated twice in the Haotu World before, so what?
The Haotu World only defeated them, these Demon God Kings, but not being able to deal with the Demon Emperor was always the fatal flaw of the Haotu World.
As long as there was no Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouse in the Haotu World for a day, the Haotu World couldn't be their match.
And Bo Xun clearly wouldn't give the Haotu World any time.
After hearing Yi Qi's words, Bo Xun nodded rarely and praised him.
"Well done."
"This is what a subordinate should do."
"I heard you suffered heavy losses this time?"
He asked with rare concern. Tens of thousands of Demon warriors under Yi Qi, and only hundreds returned—Bo Xun had heard about this long ago.
Such losses were indeed beyond expectations. Hearing this, Yi Qi didn't hide it, nodded, and briefly recounted the process.
At the same time, he also explained why he chose to do so—entirely because he wanted to ensure the authenticity of the intelligence.
Not to repeat the same mistakes, like Bei Zun, being deceived by the fake intelligence given by the human race, leading to the result of a huge defeat.
Facing Yi Qi's explanation, Bo Xun nodded in agreement.
"You did well. Although the losses were indeed a bit large, ensuring the authenticity of the intelligence is the most important thing."
"Next, you don't need to participate in attacking the Haotu World. Let the Demon warriors who returned also rest. I will reward merit after the war."
"Thank you, Demon Emperor."
Yi Qi had been completely crippled. With his current situation, even if he participated in attacking the Haotu World, it wouldn't have any meaning, so it was better to let him stay in the Demon Realm to rest.
After Yi Qi left, the last bit of worry in Bo Xun's heart also dissipated. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said coldly.
"The advantage in this battle is with me."
Not having the Emperor Venerable Realm is the fatal flaw of the Haotu World. Just based on this point, Bo Xun was already full of confidence in the result of this battle.
