Chapter 604: The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (III)
Even Agares trembled in front of his terrifying mental force. He understood clearly that although he could be called the number two demon god, even if you were to add up Vassago, Saminaga, and Marbas’ forces, the three of them would definitely not be opponents for the Demon God Emperor.
Without need to mention humans who don’t know the extent of the Demon God Emperor’s strength, even their own side’s demon gods didn’t understand clearly what their ultimate sovereign reached.
As the most powerful Demon God Emperor in demon History, Xiufeng’s real thoughts were unclear to all.
The overflowing terrifying mental force vanished gradually, as the Demon God Emperor slowly opened his eyes, revealing a thin smile.
“Your Majesty, have you made some discoveries?” Seeing his expression, Agares asked immediately.
Xiufeng had a tranquill smile. He remarked rebukingly, “How many times have I told you that no matter whose presence we are in, you are to call me Boss, not your Majesty. We are brothers.”
Agares smiled at him, “Courtesy cannot be abandonned. As the number two demon god, I especially have to set the example. Boss’ prestige will forever be supreme.”
Xiufeng shook his head with a smile on his face, “Here you go again… Do as you please then.”
Seeing Xiufeng in a pretty good mood, Agares asked, “Have you made some discoveries Boss?”
Xiufeng nodded, “This youngster is really a cunning one. The trails disappeared a split second after appearing. It should be that teleporting ability Ah’Bao spoke about. I am unable to grasp their spatial location too. I’m afraid that’s a teleporting treasure of the divine tool class.”
Agares nodded, “It is really going as third brother predicted it. It looks that catching him will really not be an easy matter. Not a strong opponent, but quite a cunning one.”
The Demon God Emperor revealed an ounce of disapointment and frustration, “What a shame!”
“A shame?” Agares looked at Xiufeng with some uncomprehension, “Boss, why is it that I get the feeling that you seem to not really want to kill this human?”
Xiufeng’s eyes revealed a trace of loneliness as he shook his head, “So what if I do not want to kill him? I still have to kill him. Compared to the prosperity of our large race, what is a single person. Even if that person was Ah’Bao, I’d also have to kill him.”
Reaching this point, his eyebrows looked up, a cold smile appearing on his handsome face.
“These old human bastards are still really showing respect for me. Three Demon Hunt Squads are lying in wait around us, all formed of members exceeding 200,000 siritual energy. Are they afraid that I would act against the Exorcist Mountain Pass? But how could they know what the Exorcist Mountain Pass is in my eyes?”
Agares’ eyes lit up, “Want me to go teach them a lesson, Boss?”
Xiufeng shook his head, “No need. These guys are quite cunning, and won’t easily intervene against us unless it comes to the last resort. I don’t feel like paying attention to them. After I handle that matter and get the status of god, I will purge them from Earth with a flick of the wrist. Do you know why I have still yet to dispose of them? That’s because I want to give humankind the feeling that they are really keeping me under control. This balance cannot be rashly broken, otherwise the life and death struggle with humanity won’t be easy for us to settle.”
Agares nodded, “This Holy War’s aims should have already been attained. Boss, when should we end it? The damage to us these two years is considerable too, but the total population has finally been regulated.”
Xiufeng asked, “How about the condition on the eastern side?” After Andromalius died, leaving the Devil Snakes as a headless flock of dragons, the Demon God Emperor specially dispatched another demon god to keep watch.
As the largest source of food supplies, the eastern ocean was extremely important.
Agares replied, “The current situation is pretty good with the order you gave of speeding up the exploitation of the oceanic resources. Our food supplies for this year are about thirty percent higher. With the decline of our population due to the Holy War, there will be no issue maintaining ourselves for the time being. Furthermore, since these years you have been encouraging plantations and cultivation, these humans have been quite obedient: the amount of foodstuff is increasing year by year.”
Xiufeng nodded, “Good. Keep seizing as many human artisans as possible from the Alliance. After the Holy War terminates, this will be our most immediate priority for the future. Also, let’s also encourage human reproduction. After our domesticated humans reach sufficient numbers, we can go wipe out the Temple Alliance. I hope to see such a day happen in my living years.”
Agares showed a smile, “Boss has a thousand years to rule, you’re still young.”
Xiufeng replied indifferently, “I’m not young. However, if I can stabilize my foundations as a god, ruling eternally is absolutely not impossible. After I kill that Long Haochen, this Holy War can immediately be terminated. Humankind has lost a great deal of strength, and will be sufficiently intimidated.”
“Yes.”
Long Haochen had been running for two days and two nights in the wilderness. Trying as far as possible to conceal the pure light essence coming out from him, he could only rely on his two legs.
After a day of hurried running, he already stopped perceiving the Demon God Emperor’s presence.
But even so, he absolutely didn’t dare take a break. The most important to them had yet to come. They had to attract the Demon God Emperor’s attention within the shortest time possible.
For the sake of increasing his distance from the Demon God Emperor, Long Haochen had been travelling in an easterly direction.
Among all twenty-four demon provinces, the Central Province was actually not the most important one. The northwest of the continent was under the Temple Alliance’s control, while the demon side controlled the rest of the territory. Looking at the continent as a whole, the Central Province was actually in the south-central region, the nearest one to it being the Southeastern Fort protected by the Warrior Temple. The Exorcist Mountain Pass was considerably far, but demons occupied such a large area, that when alone, Long Haochen was simply able to move without any hindrance.
In such circumstances, the Demon God Emperor would hardly find him for real.
On the past two days, it wasn’t as if Long Haochen was running blindly either. In his rush, he stimulated his internal spiritual energy, treating already most of his internal wounds. Upon entering in Yale Province, they could already be considered deep in demon territory, so he could finally relax. Now they needed to make noise to gain the attention of the Demon God Emperor.
From the map Yue Ye handed over to him stored in the Eternal Melody, when he unfolded and examined it, it not only recorded the terrain and towns, but even the garrisoning situation of the various demon clans. But of course, out of consideration for the Holy War, the current situation should have changed to some extent.
The Yale Province was in a convenient location, its capital Yale City being in the midst of the main road. A demon god should be in garrison there, based on the contents of the map. That was the fifty-seventh ranked demon god, Panther Demon God Auxerre, commanding the Panther Demons stationed in Yale City.
Panther Demons could not be considered a clan of fighters. They were quite low in numbers, but had their own characteristics. In times of battle, they wouldn’t be as tough and valiant as Demonic Bears or Ox Demons, but were extremely fast, expert in launching surprise attacks with astonishing offensive force. Expert in both speed and offense, they were close to Jacques Demons in number, but because of the presence of their demon god bloodline, their strength and position were far above Jacques Demons.
In this Panther Demon Clan, Long Haochen’s target was fixed. Only, he didn’t know whether this fifty-seventh-ranked Panther Demon God was or was not in Yale City.
No matter whether he would be there or not, Long Haochen already took the decision to tell the Demon God Emperor about his arrival in deep demon territory with that surprise attack.
Activating the Eternal Melody, Long Haochen returned the next instant in the Tower of Eternity.
The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope, who were all seated cultivating at the same spot, immediately awoke from the state of cultivation upon Long Haochen’s return.
“Haochen, how are you?” Cai’er stepped forward and was the first to ask. The others gathered round as well, but only Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were still lying on the ground. However, these two were now awake. After receiving two days of care and treatment, they at least wouldn’t lose consciousness in a single movement.
Long Haochen replied, “I have already penetrated deeply in demon territory, and at the present time, I am already in Yale Province. Be prepared everyone, I will be teleporting us in the north of the Yale Province, approximately two hundred kilometers from Yale City, which will be our first target. We will be setting out two hours later.”
Although these two days of travel were enough for him to finish recovering, his mind was considerably tired, after all he had to travel in a state of extreme vigilence, and needed some rest before he could proceed.
Everyone nodded successively. Seeing Long Haochen back safe and sound was already a proof that he had broken away from the Demon God Emperor. Going once again into demon territory, and to launch an assault, how could they not be excited? Each of them were already eager for action.
Long Haochen squatted in front of Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, “Brother Yang, Brother Duan, how are your injuries? Is it feeling better?”
Seeing Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi couldn’t help but have their hearts filled up with all sorts of feelings. After being defeated by the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus, they didn’t think they would have the chance to stay alive. And they expected even less to be saved by their greatest rival in the Knight Temple.
Back in those years, when everyone was undergoing the test to become Demon Hunters, Long Haochen’s cultivation was still far from the two of them. After the elapse of time, although they also hadn’t met him for a while, they understood very clearly his achievements of the past.
He was the first person to destroy a demon god pillar in human History, the cause for the Demon God Emperor to launch a Holy War, yet backed by the Alliance. The killer of a demon god. Each of these achievements were sufficiently shocking, unsurpassable pinnacles.
Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi being also highly talented knights, were both geniuses in their young ages. If they were in the previous generations, they would surely be the most valued targets of nurturing for the Alliance. But as they were born in the same generation as Long Haochen, they were doomed to remain concealed under the background of the Scion of Light.
“Haochen…”
