Chapter 494 Zhang Daxia
Entrance to Changyi Demon Realm.
In the wilderness of Jangyi City.
Three months ago, the Wang family's betrayal left Changyi City utterly devastated, with all six million people killed or wounded, including the original Changyi base, where the Demon Suppression Army was almost completely wiped out.
Only cultivators who ventured into the wilderness to hunt demonic beasts, and some demon-suppressing soldiers on missions, escaped the calamity.
Although Xie Zhiyuan later led the Demon Suppression Army to recapture Changyi City and killed Wang Wei.
but.
The city of Jangyi and the original site are no longer suitable for habitation.
The remaining survivors, under the leadership of the Great Xia government, built a new base 20 kilometers from the entrance to guard the entrance to the Changyi Demon Realm.
The past few days have been calm and peaceful, which has made the demon-suppressing army guarding the city somewhat uneasy.
"Damn it, why haven't those beasts attacked for days?" said a burly man in a general's uniform on the city wall.
"What's wrong, Old Chen? Getting itchy hands?"
The short-haired man next to him, also dressed in a general's uniform, laughed.
"Yes, I feel uneasy if I don't slaughter a few animals every day."
"Haha, same here," the short-haired man laughed. "But it's good to rest for a few days and let the brothers take a break."
In terms of individual strength and combat power at the same level, the demon race is inferior to the Demon Suppression Army. Guarding the entrance to the ninth-level demon realm, the Demon Suppression Army members are at least at the fifth level of strength and have undergone a second awakening.
but.
The sheer number of demons was overwhelming, and they kept coming back like weeds, being harvested again and again.
There are restrictions on the entrance to Chang-eup.
Only four demigods can enter the ranks, otherwise they might not be able to hold out.
"I heard that several demigods at the entrance to the Red Flower Demon Realm of the Vermilion Bird Empire have been killed, and the demon race has retreated back to the Demon Realm."
"Um."
"I heard it was Xiao Weiqing who did it?"
"you do not know?"
"Nonsense, I'm not as high a level as you, how would I know?" the burly man said irritably.
He had the battle reports from the Vermilion Bird Empire, as well as the battle reports from the entrances to the various demon realms on Blue Star. As a general of the Demon Suppression Army, he read them carefully every day.
The Vermilion Bird Empire's battle report on the entrance to the Red Flower Demon Realm did not mention Xiao Weiqing's name, as if someone was deliberately concealing it.
but.
With so many eyes watching on the battlefield, how could it be kept secret? And the authorities haven't issued a gag order either.
Therefore, most people hear rumors and gossip.
"It's true. Xiao Weiqing not only killed a demigod of the demon race, but also staged a hero saving a damsel in distress."
"Hero saves the damsel in distress? Who did he save?"
"The Palace Mistress Yun Shu of the Vermilion Bird Empire?"
"real?"
"Of course, and I've also heard..." The short-haired man's voice suddenly lowered, "I've also heard that Xiao Weiqing and Palace Mistress Yun Shu have an unusual relationship."
"really?"
"How could it be fake? I heard it from Commander Sun himself."
"What do you mean, 'listen to me'? Don't talk nonsense! You two brats, get back to patrol!"
An old man's voice came from behind the two of them, full of vigor and with a hint of reprimand.
The two of them froze and turned to look at the newcomer.
An elderly man, dressed in the uniform of the Demon Suppression Army, had gray hair but was in good spirits.
Standing next to the old man was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance, resembling an ancient scholar. However, both men knew that the middle-aged man was older than the old man.
"Yes, Commander."
"Yes, Principal Xie."
After greeting Xie Zhiyuan, the two generals immediately left.
"Cough cough~"
"Old Xie, don't listen to those two brats talking nonsense."
Xie Zhiyuan said, "It's not a secret, it's just that Xiao Weiqing doesn't like being so high-profile."
"Besides, I know your personality well, and I trust you."
"That's good." The old man nodded in satisfaction.
"After all these years, you've never been one to keep your mouth shut, so I'm sure it was you who said it."
"..."
"Xie Zhiyuan, that's a bit much. We've been friends for decades. Is that how you see me, Sun Yezhou? Yes."
Xie Zhiyuan looked at Sun Yezhou and nodded seriously.
"yes."
"Grass!"
Sun Yezhou cursed under his breath, "Xie Zhiyuan, if we hadn't been apart for twenty years, I would have taught you a lesson for slandering me."
"Isn't it because you can't beat me?"
Even if Xie Zhiyuan had already entered the ninth realm, Sun Yezhou would still be no match for him, even if they were both at the eighth realm.
The two people were not speaking loudly.
However, the demon-suppressing soldiers on the city wall were all extraordinary cultivators with considerable strength and keen senses, and they heard the entire conversation between the two.
Many people began to tremble, trying hard to stop themselves from laughing.
"Thank you, you old devil. That's going too far. At least give me some face, or how am I supposed to lead troops into battle in the future?"
Xie Zhiyuan was fully aware of his surroundings. After looking around, he shouted:
"Listen up, your Commander Sun is absolutely not! She's not that kind of gossipy, long-tongued woman, absolutely not..."
It would have been better if we hadn't said anything.
Once it was mentioned, everyone couldn't hold back any longer.
Someone burst out laughing, and once it happened, it happened again, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Their commander, how could they not know that from ordinary soldiers fighting over women to generals getting beaten up by their own wives?
As long as Sun Yezhou knows, it's the same as the entire army knowing.
"Laugh! What's so funny!"
Sun Yezhou was both ashamed and angry.
Rumble~~~
Suddenly, a huge explosion came from the entrance to the demon realm.
Sun Yezhou straightened his face and roared, "Assemble!"
"Su Huai, Ye Xiao!"
"arrive!"
"Go check what's going on, and be careful!"
"Yes."
The two demon-suppressing army commanders, both at the eighth level of strength, took to the air and flew towards the entrance to the demon realm.
Just then.
An even greater commotion erupted at the entrance to the Demon Realm.
The two powerful figures who had just taken to the air narrowed their eyes as they saw four enormous golden fire dragons wreaking havoc on the demon race's camp in the distance.
"What is that?"
A general on the city wall points to the sky.
Above the entrance to the Demon Realm.
A fireball shone brightly, and in just a few breaths, it rapidly expanded into a giant sun with a diameter of over a kilometer, illuminating the night.
Even from a distance of twenty kilometers, everyone could feel the terrifying energy contained within that great sun.
"Generals, come back!"
Upon seeing this, Xie Zhiyuan immediately stopped the eighth-realm expert who had come forward to inquire.
The two powerful figures looked at Sun Yezhou, awaiting instructions.
"Old Xie?"
Sun Yezhou looked at Xie Zhiyuan, waiting for his answer.
"It's Xiao Weiqing."
Xie Zhiyuan affirmed.
"Xiao Weiqing?"
Sun Yezhou was startled. "Are you sure? I didn't receive any message."
Xie Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I'm sure he came out from the entrance to the Demon Realm."
"The entrance to the demon realm?"
After a few seconds of thought, Sun Yezhou decided to trust Xie Zhiyuan and signaled to the two eighth-realm experts to hold back for the time being.
"It's crashing down!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Before everyone's eyes, the great sun in the sky crashed into the ground and exploded in the center of the demon race.
moment.
Flames raged, turning the entrance to the demon realm into a sea of fire.
A terrifying heatwave swept outwards, reaching the foot of the city wall and then soaring into the air, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius, stinging everyone's skin.
"Old Sun, how many demons are left at the entrance?"
Sun Yezhou said, "There are forty Demon Lords and sixty thousand demons."
As the two were talking, a figure rapidly approached the base. The Demon Suppression Army immediately became alert. Even though they knew the other party was likely an ally, no one dared to relax their vigilance until they could see the face clearly.
"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."
Xie Zhiyuan affirmed.
