Chapter 726: Demon Emperor Enters the Pass

Jueying's side has already sent back news; the demon race's great army has already gathered, and it looks like they will likely launch an attack soon.

In response, Qi Xiong felt full of anticipation; these are all plentiful ingredients, after all.

Even Qi Xiong wondered whether, after dealing with the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, he should take advantage and launch another assault.

After thinking, Qi Xiong still decided to play it by ear.

"Let's see when the time comes."

If everything goes smoothly, we could instead seize the moment and launch an assault to capture more ingredients; but if that Red Dragon Demon Emperor is indeed tough to handle, then we can only forget it.

Anyway, the ingredients are right here and won't run away; there will be plenty of opportunities later.

For now, we just need to wait quietly for the Red Dragon Demon Emperor to enter the pass.

The demon beasts on this side soon took action, and under the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's command began to advance toward Myriad Monster Pass.

And their movements, from start to finish, were naturally known in detail by Jueying.

As the sky darkened, after dinner, the many cultivators inside Myriad Monster Pass all wore tense expressions.

Even though the dinner was delicious, everyone seemed to have lost their usual vigor, each with a worried, grim face.

There's no helping it; everyone knows the demon beasts will attack the city tonight, and they also have to actively open the city gate—no matter how you think about it, it's unsettling.

If one slip-up happens, these people will probably all die here.

"What should we do—really open the city gate?"

"You're crazy—still saying this now? Have you forgotten the Upper Sect's order?"

"How could that be possible? I just feel it might be a little too crazy."

"I, on the other hand, feel the prospects are great; with the city's arrangements, whoever comes will die."

Hearing this, everyone unconsciously glanced at the interior of the city; it seemed everything was normal on the surface, but only they themselves knew just how many talisman seals and formation disks were buried beneath that calm facade.

With so many talisman seals and formation disks, my goodness—just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

"All right, no matter what, we cannot defy the Upper Sect's order; everyone should act according to the plan."

Even though they harbored worries in their hearts, none dared to defy Qi Xiong's command.

Just a single delicious meal completely had them under control.

Not only was the flavor perfect, it also greatly aided cultivation; at this point, in the eyes of many cultivators, any sort of pill was utterly worthless.

Compared to cultivating by taking pills, they would rather cultivate by eating meals.

Soon, according to the plan, each took their assigned posts; at the city gate, several close aides of Heaven-Supporting Saint Lord had already taken over.

They only waited for the Red Dragon Demon Emperor to arrive, then they would open the city and release the demons, inviting it onto the chopping block… wait, no, inviting it to enter the pass.

Inside the city lord's mansion, the Dao Yi Sect people appeared quite calm; the battle plan had already been worked out long ago.

Yu Mo would deal with the Red Dragon Demon Emperor, while Wang Man and Yuan Cang would assist from the side; as for the other demon sovereigns, the crowd would handle them.

Time trickled by, and soon it was late night; at this moment, the mountain forests outside Myriad Monster Pass were already teeming with countless demon beasts.

In order to seize Myriad Monster Pass in one fell swoop, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor this time could be said to have held nothing back.

Having concentrated all its strength, it was all for one battle to decide the fate of the world.

"Go, first check the situation."

"Yes."

Gazing at the not‑far city gate, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor also advanced, first sending a demon king ahead.

And as that demon king arrived outside the city gate, the gate indeed slowly opened, after which several human cultivators appeared in the darkness.

"Where is the demon emperor? This time we cannot allow any slip‑up."

"The demon emperor is in the rear; he'll be here shortly."

"Hmm."

Most crucial is still the Red Dragon Demon Emperor; if it doesn't enter the city, all the prior preparations would be completely wasted.

Fortunately, seeing that the city gate indeed opened as promised, the last shred of doubt in the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's heart was finally dispelled entirely.

"Heaven-Supporting Saint Lord, Heaven-Supporting Saint Lord, to actually open the Myriad Monster Pass city gate for a personal grudge—hee, this emperor doesn't even know what to say about you."

With a cold snort, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor said no more, addressing the many demon race powerhouses behind him.

"The time to earn merit is today; attack Myriad Monster Pass—you are all my demon race warriors, kill!"

"Kill..........."

"Kill..........."

No longer hiding anything, in the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's view, as soon as the city gate opens, Myriad Monster Pass is within easy grasp.

Immediately, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor led a group of demon sovereigns and demon kings, rushing to the city gate at once; it sought to seize control of the gate first, so as to place itself in an invincible position.

And as the Red Dragon Demon Emperor appeared, the few human cultivators at the city gate also adopted respectful attitudes, seeming to actively invite the Red Dragon Holy Land into the pass.

"Heh, human cultivators—nothing more than that."

In response, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor felt contempt, but didn't say much more; after all, if it weren't for these foolish humans, it couldn't have entered the city so easily.

Having successfully entered Myriad Monster Pass, gazing at everything before it, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor could be said to be filled with myriad emotions.

All along, its goal has been to one day capture the human race's Myriad Monster Pass and take a look at the splendor of human territory.

It's a pity that this wish has never been fulfilled, but now everything seems to be within reach.

Sigh—who could have imagined it would rise in this manner?

From today onward, my demon race will surely become stronger, completely becoming the foremost clan of the Haotu World.

Still lost in dreams of a beautiful future, unaware that at this very moment a dull thud suddenly sounded.

Turning his head to look, "Holy shit," the city gate—how did it get closed?

The city gate that had just been open was now swiftly shut by those few human cultivators; moreover, the formation on the city walls was rapidly activated, and even many human cultivators were rushing from all directions, clearly intending to resist the demon race.

This maneuver left the Red Dragon Demon Emperor completely dumbfounded—wasn't everything supposed to have been planned? Why, now, has it become completely different?

"What do you mean?"

They looked icily at the several cultivators before them, being stared at by the Red Dragon Holy Land; everyone felt a terrifying aura that made their breathing become difficult.

This is the pressure of an emperor-level realm; even a group of saints would find it hard to withstand the might of a great emperor.

Facing the Red Dragon Demon Emperor who harbored doubts, several people gritted their teeth and persisted; at the same time, Qi Xiong, Yu Mo, and others also arrived in time.

"Nothing much, just congratulating the Red Dragon Demon Emperor on coming to Myriad Demon Pass; as the host, it's natural to give a warm welcome."

Qi Xiong spoke lightly, but the Red Dragon Demon Emperor already sensed something was off.

At first, everything was indeed proceeding according to the plan of Heaven-Uplifting Shèngzhǔ, but now that people from the Dao Yi Sect have appeared here, this is quite abnormal.

Their gaze locked onto Qi Xiong, and after a moment, the Red Dragon Demon Emperor finally reacted, saying through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, are you scheming against this emperor?"

This can only be the result; otherwise, the Dao Yi Sect could not have appeared here, or else they also know the whole plan.
