"Void Ancient Demon?"
Yun Kuang was briefly stunned before he shook his head. "I haven't heard of any signs of this Ancient Demon Clan in recent years, but the Blood Void Demon Clan caused quite a commotion in the Demon Realm. I believe that the Void Ancient Demon Clan is also involved."
"What commotion?"
Asked the Nefarious Demon. The Blood Shaman had asked him to look after the Void Ancient Demon Clan.
"Not long ago, the Patriarch of the Blood Void Demon Clan appeared and was appointed as the Sky Prefecture's Prefecture Lord."
"Sky Prefecture?
Isn't that the territory of the Void Ancient Demon Clan? "
"Yeah, but I don't know what the Blood Void Demon Clan did this time. The Void Demon Clan has lost their power in the Sky Prefecture, and the Bi Group seems to be involved. In short, the Void Ancient Demon Clan isn't in a good situation right now. Why? Is the Demon Sovereign related to this Ancient Demon Clan?"
"Yeah, I have a friend. If there's a chance, let's go to the Sky Prefecture." The Nefarious Demon remembered Yun Kuang's words in his heart.
Yun Kuang nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, he organized the army to prepare for tomorrow's attack on the Central Continent. It had to be said that there were many talented people in the Devil World. Just the experts in the field of space alone were sufficient. A huge inter-province teleportation array was forged in just one night. The size of the array was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Moreover, it was forged with four abnormally sturdy black profound stones. Later on, Qin Shi found out that the profound stone was called the Space Fixing Stone. It was an extremely rare ore in this world. After a comet with a cycle of three thousand years passed by it, it would burn and leave behind an extremely small space meteorite. It had the effect of fixing space.
Qin Shi didn't know that there was actually the largest Space Fixing Stone in this world in a place that he was extremely familiar with.
Naturally, this was all for the future.
Early the next morning
Above the clouds, the vast land of the Cloud Prefecture was in an uproar as thousands of Almighties gathered in the cloud passage. Outside the passage was a spatial array that connected to the Middle Prefecture. There were over fifty World Realm Ferocious Demons within, a terrifying amount that was undoubtedly shocking. The density of their Spiritual Energy was sufficient to cause chaos in the universe. However, those Ferocious Demons that were usually awe-inspiring were all humble at this moment as they lowered their heads. As for the Evil Demon, it had turned into a Nine-eyed Qilin that stood above them. Even if it was only a Spiritual Body, it possessed an unparalleled aura.
Looking around, the Nefarious Demon smiled in satisfaction. "Very good, let's go!"
Boom!
Thousands of Great Demons passed through the spatial passage and headed towards the Middle Prefecture.
The size of the Demonic World was unimaginable. The distance between the provinces was almost the same as the distance between the Mortal World and the Cloud Prefecture. Because of the huge size of the team, Spiritual Energy constantly collided, so their speed was relatively slow. Otherwise, it would easily cause spatial instability and cause a spatial storm. But even so, they still encountered two spatial distortions and a spatial storm. Fortunately, there was a branch Ancient Demon of the Ancient Void Clan in the team that was extremely proficient in Spatial Energy. Thus, the damage caused by the spatial storm was reduced to the minimum, but it also delayed them quite a bit of time.
In the end, it took them nearly a month to reach the Middle Prefecture. When they came out from the spatial passage, they saw a vast land that stretched as far as the eye could see. The Middle Prefecture was at the center of the Demonic World, so it was an excellent location. But because of this, it was also the weakest among the eight prefectures. It was said that the void of the Hou Group was in the sky above the Middle Prefecture.
Compared to the Cloud State, this place seemed more down to earth. There were no clouds in the sky, and there was more of a blue sky. The ground did not seem like a fairyland either. Instead, there were deserts, hills, plains, and mountains. Looking down from the sky, there was a rough river that snaked through the Central Plains like a huge dragon, branching out in all directions. The river flowed rapidly, kicking up large amounts of sand and mud. It carried the heavy responsibility of cleaning the entire Central Plains.
If it wasn't for the dense ominous aura in the surroundings, this place would be fine with the Mortal World.
"Qianzhe, we've reached the Middle Prefecture. Why aren't you acting as the host?
Do you want us to stay here like idiots? "Yun Kuang snorted.
Qianzhe laughed dryly, then said politely, "You're right, Prefecture Lord Yun. I've been rude. Since you've come to the Middle Prefecture, just treat this place as your home. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll definitely satisfy you. Everyone, follow me back to the Middle Prefecture Divine Hall. I've already arranged a place for everyone there."
"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Prefecture Lord Qianzhe."
"As you wish." Qianzhe smiled faintly, then led the way for the demon, "Demon Sovereign, please follow me."
The demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, everyone reorganize first. Tonight, Prefecture Lord Qianzhe will briefly explain the distribution of the Hou Group in the Middle Prefecture. We'll discuss where to start cleaning up the trash."
Hearing this, the eyes of the demons shone brightly. They could tell that they'd been suppressed by the Hou Group many times in the past few years. For the next half a day, everyone traveled around the Middle Prefecture. Just like what Qianzhe said, they didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all. Relying on the fact that they were here to help the Middle Prefecture destroy the Hou Group, many hidden demons took advantage of the situation and plundered many treasures from the Middle Prefecture.
Only late at night did the demons gather at the Middle Prefecture Divine Hall. This place was equivalent to the Cloud Summit of the Cloud Prefecture, but it didn't have the grandeur of the Cloud Summit.
In the great hall, the demons gathered. The demon said, "Qianzhe, tell us about the Hou Group's forces in the Middle Prefecture."
"Demon Sovereign, the Hou Group occupies a total of three head level cities in the Middle Prefecture. Furthermore, the hundred sub-cities that these three cities cover are all under their control."
"Three head level cities and a hundred sub-cities?"
Yun Kuang frowned at the side. "Prefecture Lord Qianzhe, if I remember correctly, there are only seven head level cities in the Middle Prefecture, right?
And there are only a little over two hundred sub-cities in these seven cities. The three cities you lost were all head level cities. Nearly half of the Middle Prefecture is under the control of the Hou Group? "
Qianzhe's face turned red as he said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Prefecture Lord Yun. It's just as you said, the three head level cities controlled by the Hou Group are the second, third, and fourth cities. They're second only to the three cities outside of the Divine Hall of the Middle Prefecture. The Middle Prefecture is no longer under my control. As the prefecture lord, I'm only a puppet. Every decision I make has to be tacitly approved by the Hou Group."
When he said this, Qianzhe gnashed his teeth in hatred, but his face was filled with helplessness and anger.
The Nefarious Devil didn't object to this. Although it sounded exaggerated, the Nefarious Devil knew that this was a very simple matter for the Ma Group. If the Ma Group was willing, they could obtain the entire Central Province at any time. What he wanted to know was not this. He said, "How many people does the Dark Group have here?
Which hall is the manager from? "
"Demon Sovereign, it's the Fourth Hall Master."
"Fourth Hall Master?
That kid, You Xiao? "The demon's eyes were cold.
Hearing this, the corners of the demons' mouths twitched. He dared to call the Fourth Hall Master of the Hou Group a kid?
That was something they didn't even dare to think about. But the demon was right. The Twelve Palaces of the Hou Group, in his eyes, were really like kids. The demon hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, You Xiao should be a descendant of the Divine Shield Demon Clan, right?"
"Demon Sovereign, he is indeed a descendant of the Divine Shield Demon Clan."
"Interesting. The divine shield that the Demon Clan's Patriarch used was able to block a full blow from me. I wonder how much of the shield's power this kid can bring out." The demon sneered. "What about the others? Besides You Xiao, who else does the Hou Group have here?"
"Demon Sovereign, besides You Xiao, there's no one else at the Palace Master level. But as for the Demon Master level, all the Twelve Demon Masters of the Four Palaces are here. Among them, there are Demon Masters from the Five Palaces who are at the Transcending Realm. There are also three Demon Sovereigns from the Outer Team. It is said that he broke through to the Transcending Realm a few days ago and is equally matched with the Fourth Hall Master."
"Two Transcending Realm?"
The demon nodded inwardly. This lineup was within his expectations. "You Xiao is easy to deal with. Besides that damned tortoiseshell shield, we can basically ignore his battle prowess. However, that Demon Master from the Outer Team is a troublesome character. The Demon Master from the Outer Team is equivalent to the Twelve Palaces' Grand Hall Master. Although his cultivation might not be as high, he is not a small character. How about this, leave this person to me. You Xiao, let Yun Kuang deal with him. The rest shouldn't be too difficult. Tomorrow, we'll go meet them first.
"Demon Sovereign, there was originally, but …"
"But it was destroyed by the Inner Team, right?"
The demon rolled his eyes exasperatedly. He could imagine it even without Qian Zhe saying it. He then turned to the Void Ancient Demon and said: "I'll leave the Spatial Teleportation to you. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
The demon cupped his fists and said: "Demon Sovereign, don't worry. In terms of battle prowess, I dare not say, but in terms of the power of space, I am still confident."
"That's good. Then go and prepare now. We'll go meet the Inner Team tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Very soon, the demon retreated and opened the Spatial Teleportation to the Second Seat. At this time, the demon went into seclusion alone.
That night, the Nefarious Devil basically did not rest at all. He had been controlling the murderous aura in his body the entire time. Only when the light of dawn sprinkled down on him did he slowly open his eyes in the darkness … one, two, three, four … and finally, the sixth. However … the instant the sixth Devil Eye opened, his body trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted by a bolt of lightning out of the blue. He violently toppled forward, using his murderous aura to barely support himself from collapsing. At the same time, the sixth Devil Eye also closed tightly.
"It's still not working?"
The demon snorted. The Spiritual Energy he radiated to the surroundings had stopped at the Great Completion Domain Realm, unable to break through to the Transcending Realm.
He let out a long sigh: "I still can't open the sixth eye. If I can't open the sixth eye, it won't be easy to deal with a Transcending Realm."
