"Is the Zhangsun Family here for the Demon Lord?"
Lu Li had been thinking about this for days but he still could not figure it out. Zhangsun Ruyu was trying to recruit him and she was willing to sacrifice herself in order to do so.
If she wanted to pick a fight with the Demon Lord, she could just mobilize powerful warriors to attack the Omen Island. Why did she have to go through so much trouble?
Why did she have to sacrifice a young lady?
Since he could not figure it out, Lu Li stopped thinking about it.
Since the Demon Lord said that she could deal with the Zhangsun Family, Lu Li stopped worrying about the outside world.
The Demon Lord would not speak without thinking. She had so many followers at the Omen Island. She would not joke about this.
Lu Li began to focus on detoxifying the poison. He must have smelled the incense. He could feel some strange energy in his body.
The energy filled his body and suppressed the energy inside. There was more of this energy outside the elixir that sealed his divine energy.
Since the Demon Lord told him to do it himself, then there must be a way.
Lu Li cultivated and paid no attention to the outside world. He began to study the poison in his body, trying to find a way to turn it into energy for himself.
The atmosphere outside was getting more and more serious. It had been 20 days and the Demon Lord had not responded. It was a silent slap on the face of the Zhangsun Family.
The Zhangsun Family did nothing either. Scouts from other forces noticed that the Omen Island was under martial law. None of the scouts from outside could get in and those hiding on the island were asked to come out.
It meant that the Zhangsun Family was making preparations in secret. The most powerful force in the Second Heaven must take action since they had said so. Otherwise, they would lose their trust in the world and their prestige would be tarnished.
Scouts outside the island noticed that the Teleportation Formations on the island were being activated. Many Teleportation Formations glowed. They must be long-distance Teleportation Formations.
There seemed to be some fluctuations in space. Maybe many space gates were opened …
As the one-month deadline approached, the forces in the Second Heaven were getting more and more nervous. This battle had affected all the forces and families.
The defeat of the Zhangsun Family or the Omen Island would affect the entire situation of the Second Heaven.
The Fu Family of the Black Flame Palace of the Saint Origin Palace and the Black Flame Palace were itching for action. If the Demon Lord was defeated, their powerful warriors would rush to the Omen Island at once.
Many forces that had grudges against the Heavenly Devil Island were also making preparations in secret.
Soon, a month passed by. The Zhangsun Family sent another approval — since the Omen Island didn't give any response, the Zhangsun Family decided to go to the Omen Island and kill Lu Li to avenge Zhangsun Ruyu and the others.
The Zhangsun family had drawn their swords!
Countless space gates opened, and the experts of the Zhangsun Family were teleported over. They didn't go directly to the Demonic Island, but to the Raging Flame Island.
Raging Flames Island had been taken over by a few medium-sized forces, and there were only a few third tribulation experts left. The Zhangsun family's experts were directly teleported over, and the people here didn't even dare to let out a fart.
Not to mention that the Zhangsun family had so many experts, even a peak third tribulation expert could sweep through the entire Raging Flame Island.
The experts of the Zhangsun family were continuously teleported over. Almost all of them had come out. The army had mobilized more than 100,000 people, and all of them were second tribulation warriors. The number of third tribulation warriors had reached more than 200.
Once again, the Zhangsun Family demonstrated their strength as the most powerful force in the Second Heaven. Eleven warriors at the peak of the third tribulation had come. The patriarch of the Zhangsun Family and the Family Patriarch of the Zhangsun Family, Zhangsun Tianya, had come in person.
Many scouts were sent to the Raging Flame Island. Every force had sent over scouts. This fight was so important that every force must know the result as soon as possible.
Many forces not only sent scouts, but their patriarchs and Family Patriarchs were here as well. But they didn't come here. Instead, they found places to hide in the distance so that they could learn the situation in time.
The Omen Island was in an uproar!
Many powerful warriors gathered at the Omen City to ask for permission to fight. Warriors of the Omen Island were confident because they had never been defeated when the Demon King led them to battle.
This time, warriors of the Omen Island couldn't stand it when the Zhangsun Family was at their doorstep.
The Demon King didn't give any orders. He didn't intend to take the initiative. It was just that Axe Demon gave an order for all warriors above the second tribulation to gather at the Omen City, ready to fight at any time.
Axe Demon was the Demon King's most powerful warrior. His order represented the Demon King.
At that moment, countless martial artists from the entire Heavenly Devil Island gathered towards Heavenly Devil City. Those people weren't afraid at all. Instead, they were all extremely excited.
Being able to fight alongside the Great Demon King was the glory of all the Heavenly Devil Islanders.
Three days later, the people of the Zhangsun Family moved out. More than two hundred third tribulation powerhouses led an army of more than a hundred thousand to officially attack the Heavenly Devil Island. More than a hundred thousand people rode on thousands of warships. They covered the sky, and the aura released by the powerhouses caused the surrounding space to become especially heavy and oppressive.
After the people of the Zhangsun Family entered the Heavenly Devil Island, the Great Demon King still didn't come out. He just sent an order — the martial artists of the Zhangsun Family were to scatter along the way. Don't fight with the people of the Zhangsun Family, and let the Zhangsun Family's army enter the Heavenly Devil City.
After the order was passed down, the Zhangsun Family's army didn't encounter any attacks along the way. The Zhangsun Family's Family Head didn't let the army spread out to attack. Instead, he led the army straight to Heavenly Devil City.
If they didn't kill the Great Demon King, even if they conquered the entire Heavenly Devil Island, it would be meaningless. As long as they killed the Great Demon King, the entire Heavenly Devil Island would be theirs.
Countless families' scouts followed the Zhangsun Family's army in. They spread the news of the island, and many great powers became bewildered.
Why didn't the Great Demon King take the initiative to attack?
Could it be that he had made some arrangements in Heavenly Devil City?
Did he want to borrow the power of the divine inscriptions and the geographical advantage to obstruct the Zhangsun Family's army?
Many experts wanted to enter the Heavenly Devil Island to watch the battle, but when they thought of the Great Demon King's rules, if they entered and the Zhangsun Family was defeated, they would most probably be trapped inside, unable to come out.
Two days later, the Zhangsun Family's army arrived at Heavenly Devil City. The Great Demon King finally appeared. He was clad in black battle armor and wore a devil king mask, wielding a devil king spear in his hand.
"Milord is mighty, milord is mighty!"
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city immediately knelt down and roared. Their faces were filled with worship. They believed that as long as they followed this woman, they would be able to tear apart any enemies that stood in their way.
"Attack, kill all the invaders this time around!"
The Great Demon King brandished his long spear and took the lead to rush out. Like a sharp sword, he pierced into the midst of the experts of the Zhangsun Family. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and experts behind him immediately rushed out as a chaotic battle began.
"Great Demon King, let's go up and fight. Let the children play below!"
An aged voice resounded. Following that, an old man with a crooked back flew out from a warship.
He directly flew up to the sky, and a berserk aura spread out from his body, making Axe Demon and the others below feel oppressed.
"She really is a Fourth Tribulation Heaven Deity!"
Axe Demon, Blade Demon, and the others looked at each other, but they didn't care too much. If the Zhangsun Family only had one Fourth Tribulation Heaven Deity, then the hundreds of thousands of people who came today would have to stay on Heavenly Devil Island.
Swish!
The Great Demon King flew up. She didn't look at the old man from the Zhangsun Family, but at the sky in the north instead. Her emotionless voice resounded: "Since the three of you came from the Triple Heavens, there's no need to hide.
Come, let this seat see how powerful the external help that the Zhangsun Family invited is. "
"Uh?"
