Chapter 944

The Demon Race's hatred for the Dao Yi Holy Land is absolutely deep‑seated.

Now thinking back, when it was still the Qingtian Holy Land, what kind of days were those?

The Qingtian Holy Land didn't dare to venture out of the Ten Thousand Demons Pass, and outside the pass was entirely the Demon Race's domain.

But ever since the Dao Yi Holy Land arrived, it's been like heaven and earth apart.

The Ten Thousand Demons Pass seemed to be protecting the Demon Race.

From time to time the Dao Yi Holy Land would sally forth and inflict heavy losses on the Demon Race.

Moreover, the Dao Yi Holy Land was strangely formidable, leaving the Demon Race with no recourse.

Now we have finally seized a rare heavenly opportunity; the Demon Race naturally cannot let it slip.

Right now all the strong cultivators of the Dao Yi Holy Land are at the Tianhong Pass, which is a perfect chance for the Demon Race.

That day, the Demon Race launched an assault on the Ten Thousand Demons Pass.

At the same time the Demon Race launched its massive attack, the resolute Undying Race in the direction of the Tianhong Pass began to withdraw in stages.

Even to prevent pursuit by the Human Race, the Undying Race carried out a staggered withdrawal and employed many concealment tactics.

"Any movement from the Human Race side?"

"Not yet."

"Good, seize the time and speed up."

"Yes."

The Undying Great Emperors kept watch on the Human Race's movements, but so far the Humans seemed to have noticed nothing, letting the Undying Great Emperors breathe a little easier.

Had we known the outcome would be like this, the Undying Race would certainly not have chosen the Human Race.

After all, back then the Humans seemed easy to handle, but once we actually fought, it was completely different.

Knowing this, the Undying Race would rather pick the Demon Race and the Barbarian Tribe than the Humans.

The main reason is that the Humans' territory is rich and fertile.

But by now the Undying Race has realized that continuing to wear down the Humans offers no chance of victory.

Rather than that, it would be better to change targets—perhaps there is still a sliver of hope.

More and more Undying Race members secretly withdrew from their garrisons, retreating rearward.

Their next target is the Demon Race.

For two straight days the Tianhong Pass remained quiet, but only after the Undying Race had withdrawn most of its forces did the Human Race side notice something amiss.

"The Undying Race has withdrawn?"

"How did they withdraw?"

As for this, the Human Race side was mostly puzzled—why would they retreat without a word when the battle was going well?

The Yaochi Holy Lord, the Yunluo Holy Lord, Yun Xiantai and other Human Race Great Emperors even went personally to confirm the situation.

They discovered that the Undying Race had indeed truly withdrawn.

"It looks like they were scared off by the fighting."

"You can't just fight when you want and leave when you want."

"Not bad."

After this battle, although the Human Race side won, the cost was not small either.

Now the Undying Race simply wants to retreat—of course that's impossible.

Since the Undying Race has admitted defeat, they naturally must pay the price.

That day, the Human Race side left the Tianhong Pass and advanced into the Undying Race's territory.

Since they lost, isn't it normal to cede land and pay compensation? First they seized a few tracts of the Undying Race's land.

Faced with the Human Race's large‑scale invasion, the Undying Race had long anticipated it; hearing that the Humans had left the Tianhong Pass, the Undying Great Emperors spoke calmly.

"Just give it to them; it's useless anyway."

Why would the Undying Race recklessly launch a war of extermination? Isn't it just because of the Demon Cave's existence?

Once the Demon Race descends, the Undying Race's territory will be the first to suffer; even holding it in hand would be useless.

So if the Humans want it, we'll give it to them.

The Undying Race now needs to concentrate its efforts on dealing with the Demon Race.

Having already suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Humans, we absolutely cannot lose again to the Demon Race.

Thus the Human Race encountered no obstruction and easily entered the Undying Race's territory.

As for the Dao Yi Holy Land side, Qi Xiong and his companions did not act together with the Yunluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land.

Instead, they prepared to return to reinforce the Ten Thousand Demons Pass.

We never expected the Undying Race to withdraw so quickly; now that they have admitted defeat and chosen to retreat, the Dao Yi Holy Land naturally must go back to rescue them.

As for the Tianhong Pass, the Yunluo Holy Land and Yaochi Holy Land are enough to stabilize the situation.

Regarding this, the Cloud Gauze Shèngzhǔ and the Jade Pond Shèngzhǔ had no objections; they also knew about the Demon Race matters.

Just a little worried about the Dao.

「Why not dispatch a group to reinforce Ten Thousand Demon Pass? This time the Demon Race is no minor skirmish」

「Yeah, the Undying Race has retreated; nowadays Tianhong Guan isn't dangerous either」

However, regarding this, Qi Xiong and the others directly refused.

Joking aside, speaking of who in Dao Yi Shengdi fears nothing the most, it's definitely the Demon Race.

In the eyes of Dao Yi Shengdi, the Demon Race is nothing but a bunch of ingredients; what's there to be afraid of?

Just like ordinary people would be afraid of their own livestock?

Directly refusing the good intentions of the Cloud Gauze Shèngzhǔ and the Jade Pond Shèngzhǔ, Qi Xiong and the others, bringing many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, rushed back to Ten Thousand Demon Pass.

However, once they set off for Dao Yi Shengdi, many people felt depressed in their hearts, because there was nothing to eat, ah, Ye Zhangqing also followed along.

But given the situation, nobody could say much; they could only secretly wonder whether they would have more chances to mooch meals at Dao Yi Shengdi in the future.

The battle at Tianhong Guan ended just like that, silently and without anyone noticing.

And the other races only received the news several days later, one after another.

Especially the Demon Race, they were fighting fiercely inside the Myriad Demons Pass.

After several days of wave after wave of attacks, the Myriad Demons Pass was already in imminent danger; as for the old, weak, sick, and disabled left behind to guard Dao Yi Shengdi, they weren't even taken into account by them.

"Haha, good, at most by tomorrow the Myriad Demons Pass can be broken."

"This time, after breaking the pass, this emperor will certainly leave no chicken or dog alive in Dao Yi Shengdi, not a blade of grass will grow."

The demon emperors, their eyes icy cold and killing intent overflowing, gazed toward the Myriad Demons Pass direction, gritting their teeth as they spoke.

Not only them, even the people of Qingtian Holy Land were the same.

They harbored a bone-deep hatred for Dao Yi Shengdi, and now they finally saw hope of completely razing it.

But just as the demon emperors and the people of Qingtian Holy Land were rejoicing, a demon sovereign came running over in a hurry, his expression extremely grim.

He came before the demon emperors, opened his mouth, and spoke hesitantly.

"Report to the demon emperors, something...... something has happened."

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, the demon emperors asked nonchalantly, "What could be more important right now than taking the Myriad Demons Pass and leveling Dao Yi Shengdi?"

But the next second, as the demon sovereign spoke, the demon emperors and the people of Qingtian Holy Land were all stunned on the spot.

"No...... the Undying Race has retreated, and moreover turned around, heading toward us."

"Huh???"

The demon emperors didn't react at first; only after a while did they roar in disbelief.

"What did you say? The Undying Race is coming toward us?"

"Why? What about the Human Race? What are they doing?"

"That...... the Undying Race has been defeated; it looks like they want to switch targets."

Faced with the gazes of the demon emperors, this demon sovereign spoke weakly.
