第三千八百七十二章 主动请缨

A voice, thick and muffled, entered his ears, carrying a tone of incredulous shock.

"Your Majesty, how could I know? The Sovereign Demon Tyrant, a late-stage Realm Transcender, was silently annihilated. Truly a bunch of waste."

The void on the throne still sounded angry.

"Your Majesty, don't be too upset. Even though Mi Sovereign Demon and his two companions aren’t formidable powerhouses, they are no mere sacks of food and drink. Moreover, he had the Red Silk Dust Array setup tools with him. By common sense, even if he met a domain powerhouse, he should have been able to defend himself. Now, he was silently killed there..."

A thoughtful voice entered his ears. This time, it came from an elegantly dressed man, holding a feather fan and wearing scholar’s attire—clearly a wise advisor.

An advisor, perhaps.

Yet the aura he emitted was not weak at all.

Late-stage Realm Transcender. Whether or not he had a domain, it couldn’t be determined without action.

"Want to say something..." The void turned its head.

"Your Majesty, calm down. As they say, misfortune may turn into good fortune and vice versa. Don't get angry; you’ve always wanted revenge on Daoist Nai Long. This person could easily destroy Mi Sovereign Demon’s city and decapitate his three companions. He is not an ordinary domain powerhouse."

"Now that our army has fully descended, the small spiritual realm interfaces are busy with their own affairs. In other words, it's unlikely to be a powerhouse from one of those realms. So, who could this person be?"

"Is he Nai Long?"

The void demon lord was delighted, his voice brightening.

"My subordinate doesn't have full confidence, but by common sense, the likelihood is quite high," said the advisor, not wanting to overstate his case.

This analysis made perfect sense. The void demon lord couldn’t help feeling elated. He had abandoned the ancient demon realm’s prosperous foundation just for revenge. But with no trace of his enemy, he was left with nothing but frustration.

Now, listening to his subordinate's analysis, he turned anger into joy. If Nai Long truly returned, it would perfectly suit him.

As for the losses among his people, they were negligible.

"Good, good! It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I’ll set out right away and capture Nai Long, extract his soul and torment him forever."

Before he could finish speaking, his body was enveloped by dark demonic winds. Acting on impulse, this fellow seemed to be quite impatient.

"Your Majesty, wait," the advisor interjected.

"What do you want to say?"

The void demon lord showed signs of impatience.

He was eager to torment Nai Long and didn’t have time for his subordinate’s words.

"Your Majesty, first, my analysis is just a guess. Before we act rashly, it's inappropriate given your status. Otherwise, if we make a mistake, we’ll be laughed at. Second, I heard that you recently obtained a treasure, which you are currently refining. Going out now would undo all the efforts made so far. It’s better to wait for accurate information and decide then. As they say, good things take time," the advisor said earnestly.

"Indeed, there is some merit in what you say. I’ll hold off for a while longer. What about the Immortal Dao Alliance? These fellows actually dared to challenge me! They deserve a lesson. If not, I’d be nothing but a pretender." The void demon lord nodded and then spoke fiercely.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Immortal Dao Alliance is just a group of ants working together. No matter what, they can’t achieve much. However, if we ignore them, it’s also inappropriate. If you trust my abilities, entrust the northern territories to me. I won’t need three or five years; in ten years, I’ll crush the Immortal Dao Alliance and expand Your Majesty's territory," said the advisor, suddenly kneeling.

"Good, good! Since you are so confident, I’m not a miser. I'll give you command of the Northern Heaven Demon. I don't need ten years either; let’s set it as a decade. If you fail to destroy the Immortal Dao Alliance, then... well, you know the consequences."

"Thank Your Majesty. I can take an oath that if I fail to meet my goal, I’ll be at Your Majesty's disposal," said the demon with joy and confidence on his face.

...

Meanwhile, several thousand miles away in a deep mine vein.

Rumbling explosions echoed as over ten thousand cultivators of the Immortal Dao Alliance launched their final assault against theEvil from Beyond the Realm.

Since the arrival of the external demon lord, both human and beast races had been on the defensive. The once-held heavenly realms were gradually being eroded by the enemy.

So far, half of Nai Long's realm was occupied, and the expansion continued to grow.

Perilous!

If this continued, Nai Long’s realm would become a demonic domain. In such circumstances, cultivators from Nai Long’s realm chose to rise up in resistance.

The Cloud Concealment Sect, Ten Thousand Clear Immortal Palace, Black Phoenix Valley, and Ten Thousand Beast Sect formed an alliance, putting aside their differences.

The Immortal Dao Alliance!

Its sole purpose was to resist the external demons.

Other minor sects and families also joined this alliance. Soon after its formation, the alliance launched a powerful counterattack, successfully repelling the aggressive external demons and reclaiming lost territories.

In cultivation, resources were everything, so mine veins were crucial.

The Immortal Dao Alliance’s elders were all far-sighted strategists. Their first target was to recover mineral veins and the original sites of heavenly treasures.

This cloud forest vein was one of their primary targets, as it produced top-grade wind attribute crystals at a high rate. It was of utmost importance.

Unfortunately, it had been occupied by external demons for several years. Now, Immortal Dao Alliance cultivators were launching a strong counterattack to reclaim thisFeng Shui Treasure Land.
