Chapter 1010: Returning to the Langya Kingdom (Second update, requesting everything)

Although Xiang Yutian will not disclose the contents of this battle due to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao Contract, it is not certain that the Dark Night King and the Angry King, who escaped this time, will do the same.

If this matter were to spread, Li Zhangsheng's reputation would inevitably skyrocket, but he would also be scrutinized by those top-tier figures, which might not necessarily be a good thing.

This is also a helpless situation; although the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors all possess Divine Beast Demon Pets, the most they have is two or three, and some even have only one.

If we speak at the level of Kings or Double-Character Kings, it goes without saying that those who possess Divine Beast Demon Pets are few and far between; the Qingmu King and the Mingcang King are both Top-tier Double-Character Kings, yet they do not have Divine Beast Demon Pets.

In short, regardless of whether the Dark Night King or the others disclose this matter, Li Zhangsheng's limelight is too great in this battle, and he feels it is better to find a safe place to go into seclusion.

The saying "build high walls and store grain" can also be applied here; it means delaying time to accumulate one's own strength, for only when one is strong can one better cope with crises.

Hmm, it would be best to drag it out until the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm begins next year.

As for where to go into seclusion, Li Zhangsheng has a preliminary idea.

For now, it is naturally to head to the Yuan Province Fortress of the Langya Kingdom; if his luck is good enough, he might even run into Dou Cangqiong's three Saint Grade Spirit Pets, even if the probability is effectively close to zero.

Besides this, he must also try his best to prevent the collapse of the Yuan Province Fortress; without these three Saint Grade Spirit Pets holding the line, the Flame King Qin Mingqing alone would likely be unable to fend off so many foes.

In order to control the Langya Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng cannot afford not to make this trip, especially since the Yuanling Academy is in Yuan Province; once a Demon Disaster occurs, it will inevitably be greatly affected.

"Certainly, certainly!"

After exchanging a few enthusiastic words with Xiang Yutian, Xiang Yutian chose to take his leave and vanished, transforming into a streak of light.

Compared to other Kings, the friendship between Xiang Yutian and Li Zhangsheng is clearly more than a notch lower, which is also the reason why Xiang Yutian left early.

After Xiang Yutian left, the five Kings no longer had any reservations and began to discuss the matters at hand.

Zhao Yuanqing's expression was a bit complicated; he had been prepared to fight to the death with Dou Cangqiong, but in the end, nothing happened.

Of course, even ants cling to life, let alone humans; Zhao Yuanqing naturally hopes to live for a while longer.

Among the five, the backbone is naturally Li Zhangsheng.

"Bitter King, you continue to hold down the Dai Kingdom; Principal, you continue to go to the Hu Kingdom to hold down its fortress; Bizhen, Elder Zuo, you will accompany me to the Langya Kingdom."

Regarding Li Zhangsheng's proposal, Zhao Yuanqing and the others had no objections.

Soon, the three of them, Li Zhangsheng, flew toward the Langya Kingdom.

The Dai Kingdom borders the Yuan Province of the Langya Kingdom, and at the speed of the three, it took less than an hour to enter Yuan Province.

The three did not stop and flew straight toward the Yuan Province Fortress.

When they arrived at the fortress, the three Saint Grade Spirit Pets left behind by Dou Cangqiong had already departed.

This was also within everyone's expectations, but it was a coincidence that two Demon Commanders, upon receiving the news, happened to organize a demon army to attack the city, wanting to take advantage of the situation to capture the fortress.

When Dou Cangqiong was holding the line, these two Demon Commanders did not dare to easily leave the vicinity of the Abyss Gate; once Dou Cangqiong attacked, they would immediately run back to the Abyss.

Even so, these two Demon Commanders had experienced several crises, but they had all turned danger into safety.

In the sky, the Flame King Qin Mingqing looked disheveled, fighting and retreating under the siege of the two Demon Commanders; it was fortunate that the Demon Commanders had been somewhat weakened above the Hurricane Fortress, which allowed Qin Mingqing to hold on for a little longer.

Even so, defeat was only a matter of time.

The Yuan Province Fortress was the same as before, with many personnel and quite a few Stronger individuals; there were even several Pseudo-Kings, but because Qin Mingqing had fallen into a disadvantage, many people were already prepared to run away.

Especially when thinking of the crushing defeat four or five years ago, most people shuddered; at that time, not only did Kings fall, but those who successfully escaped were few, leaving the Langya Kingdom of that time severely damaged.

This time, once Qin Mingqing was defeated, the cruelty of four or five years ago might happen again.

The problem was, with Dou Cangqiong no longer holding the line, who else could stop the demon army?

When that time came, the demon army would drive straight in, which would inevitably cause devastation.

It was not that the fortress garrison did not want to fight to the death, but in a world with supernatural powers, it is often the Stronger who decide the outcome of a battle.

Thus, with the demons throwing themselves into the fray one after another, it looked as if the outer wall was about to fall.

In the sky, Qin Mingqing had a solemn expression, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to escape.

Ever since the Oak King fell and the three Saint Grade Spirit Pets left, Qin Mingqing understood in his heart that Dou Cangqiong had likely been defeated.

Unfortunately, before he could make preparations, the demon army happened to attack during this time period; this was too coincidental.

If there were no surprises, it must have been a Demon Traitor who revealed the true state of the fortress to the demon high command.

Although demons are chaotic evil creatures, they are powerful and long-lived, so naturally, there will be mavericks who worship them, but more often than not, they cannot resist the temptation and have to take risks to reach agreements with powerful demons.

This is an unavoidable matter; not only in the Fairy World, but other planes occupied by demons also have no shortage of such Demon Traitors, which is mainly a problem of the desires of intelligent beings.

However, at this very moment, three Kings entered the fortress and charged straight toward the two Demon Commanders.

To avoid Qin Mingqing being too defensive, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly transmitted his voice to him: "His Majesty the Flame King, we have come to assist you; please, you must hold them off for a breath or two to prevent them from wreaking havoc on the world."

While speaking, Aixi transformed into a golden rainbow, shortening the distance with lightning speed.

Zuo Qiulin was much slower; even with his Flying Demon Pet accelerating with all its might, he was still more than a little bit slow.

Qin Mingqing felt relieved; after all, he had blocked Li Zhangsheng last time, and even if that was Dou Cangqiong's order, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

However, Qin Mingqing still did not completely let down his guard, but he still used all his strength to block the two Demon Commanders, whose expressions had changed drastically.

The two Demon Commanders were the Assassination Demon and the Six-Armed Snake Demon; they had joined forces four or five years ago to kill a King.

Qin Mingqing's strength was ultimately not very high; he only managed to block them for a moment before the Assassination Demon successfully broke through the gap. It ignored the shouting of the Six-Armed Snake Demon and immediately flew toward the direction of the Abyss Gate.

Demons are all selfish, and in the end, their own lives are what matter; how could the Assassination Demon do something that did not conform to the demon code of conduct?

"Bizhen, the Six-Armed Snake Demon is left to you!"

As soon as Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, Ning Bizhen immediately left Aixi's back, and the Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit in her arms immediately sprayed a breath of Ice Breath, attacking the Six-Armed Snake Demon that was trying to break through with all its might.

Under the interception of the Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit, the Six-Armed Snake Demon was once again surrounded by Qin Mingqing's Demon Pets.

If there were no surprises, by the time Zuo Qiulin arrived, the Six-Armed Snake Demon would inevitably fall; with the combined strength of three Kings, this was almost a certainty.
