Chapter 1018 Demon Lord
[I Only Love One Flower: It's just a letter. He probably won't be able to return to Jiuzhou in a short time, and the Far East Demon Realm is in a sealed state, making it difficult to get in touch with him. So when I come back, I can send him a letter and tell him some things.
What, did he say something unfavorable to the Ghost Market in this letter? But that shouldn't be the case. We got along quite well in those four years, and even worked together to overcome many difficulties. 】
Yue Piaoling was bewildered at the moment. He looked at Feng Mo and Qin Fan who were sitting in a circle and browsing the forum out of boredom. The situation in the Desire Realm was now basically under control. The next step was to let Yun Hongce command the Red Demon Army to create demonic energy and occupy the terrain in one fell swoop.
And try to force the opponent's three semi-sacred artifacts to conflict with each other. This will also allow the Ghost City side, which is in a high-frequency fighting rhythm, to win some leisurely rest time.
Of course, Qin Fan and the other two were also keeping a close eye on the rat tide war happening outside.
But what was unexpected was that the commander-in-chief Xia Jinyu, who should have been focusing on this battle, suddenly mentioned Li Shizhou.
In fact, regarding the information obtained during his four years in the demon realm, Yue Piaoling planned to return to the ghost market and record it in the intelligence room after the war in the desire realm was over.
It's not that he doesn't know how important this information is, but he can't let him be busy writing reports while on a field trip. Even workers are not so eager. Besides, in his judgment, the Far East Demon Realm has not been unsealed yet, so no matter how precious the information in it is, there is no need to rush at this moment.
But he didn't expect that the problem lies with Li Shizhou.
"Shit! That guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wouldn't he take advantage of the opportunity to mess with us in the letter?"
Qin Fan shook his head slightly and said:
"The current Li Shizhou and the current Shaohou Mansion, even if they want to do something, it will be difficult to shake the ghost market. Besides, he is not such a stupid person. Let's wait for 'Yu''s' reply first."
Qin Fan and Feng Mo also noticed the new replies from the two in their exclusive post.
The former looked calm, as he thought he was quite familiar with rational players like Li Shizhou, so he was not worried. The latter, on the other hand, thought of his experience in the Magic Wind Cave.
"My Lord, regarding the Demonic Wind Cave, I encountered a very interesting demon in it."
"You mentioned this just now. Didn't you say that we would record the detailed information in the intelligence room after returning to the Ghost Market? After all, it is based on the experience of exploring and surviving in the Demon Wind Cave for four years."
"Well, the situation here at Moon made me think I could tell you a piece of important information in advance."
"What is it? About that demon?"
“Well, his situation is somewhat special. He was deceived by some old immortals from the demon clan and trapped in the depths of the Demon Wind Cave. However, this also allowed his body to be constantly tempered by the endless evil spirits and grew to an extremely strong level.
After I helped him out of his difficulties, he reached the Dharmakāya state on the next day, the middle stage of the Dharmakāya state on the third month, the late stage of the Dharmakāya state on the twelfth month, and the perfect stage of the Dharmakāya state in the middle of the second year.
At that time he said he wanted to leave the Demon Wind Cave to seek revenge, so he and I parted ways temporarily.
He also left his name in the Far West Demon Realm.
Demon Lord."
"Demon Lord? I am Ghost Lord, and this is my chance to run into someone else." Qin Fan just smiled in response.
Although he remembered the existence of such a Demon Lord, he didn't care much. Qin Fan's next focus was the teleportation array leading to the World of Ten Thousand Beasts, which he needed to exchange for 100 million points. He didn't find it surprising that there were some old monsters hidden in the Far West Demon Realm.
After all, Yun Hongce had long realized that the process of their establishment of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom was too smooth, and there seemed to be some gaps in their strength. They clearly had a very strong inheritance, but the current number one in the demon clan was the Chihuang who was now in the Far West Demon Realm and was about to break through the Dharma Realm.
Feng Mo's next words made Qin Fan raise his eyebrows, and a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.
“He also said that his name had been forgotten over the years because of the title of Demon Lord.
However, after breaking through the Dharma Realm, he felt that a strange memory had inexplicably appeared in his mind. Because it felt somewhat like the destined body I had told him about before, he decided to inherit that name.
As friends, it is not appropriate to address each other as Demon Lord.
So he told me his new name.
Chonglou.
Demon Lord Chonglou."
A new limit of destiny has appeared.
After Qin Fan sighed lightly, he also noticed the explanation given by Xia Jinyu on the forum.
At the same time, there was Yue Piaoling’s answer.
[Love Only One Flower: He may have felt from what I said that the Shaohou Mansion is not safe in the current treacherous situation in the Imperial City, so he wants to preserve the power of the Shaohou Mansion as much as possible by relying on the Ghost Market. Wow, what a courage.]
[Yu Feng Hua Xue Yue: If what you said is true, it shouldn't be a trap. After all, after knowing the current situation of the Imperial City in detail and because it is difficult for me to return to Kyushu for the time being, this choice is not difficult to understand.
But it is like putting a piece of fat meat directly in front of the mouth of the ghost market. They are really not afraid that we will swallow it in one gulp. 】
[God of the Wind: If one day our Ghost Market encounters a similar situation, and the Lord hands the Ghost Market over to a top alien force to take care of it temporarily, and the Lord returns at that time, will you betray me? ]
[Yufenghuaxueyue: Your assumption is very poor! ]
[Mo Fan Yisheng pushes: Definitely not! Absolutely not! ]
[Love Only One Flower: But the situation in Ghost Market and Shaohou Mansion is different, and we are not Di Feijing and others. ]
[Master Wuhen (Hua Lianxing): This is the confidence of a leader, and also his trust in Di Feijing and others. Moreover, the reward they offer is not cheap. They need me to use the Ghost Market to protect Shaohou Mansion while also borrowing all the power of Shaohou Mansion.
As long as they judge that the instructions given are not intended to destroy the Shaohou Mansion, they will obey, which is already a great sincerity.
So, 'Rain', your worries are a bit excessive.
Besides, it’s time for our formal meeting. 】
After closing the forum with her mind, Hua Lianxing signaled the carriage to stop. After looking at the small pavilion only a hundred meters ahead, she walked out of the carriage and asked Xue Yan to follow.
This also made the other people who were accompanying them look a little surprised.
After all, in terms of strength among the people present, Huang Yaoshi and Xiao Ting are both better than Xue Yan, and in terms of closeness of relationship, there is Yan Yuxin who has reached the Dharmakāya realm.
But Yu Haitang chose Xue Yan, who seemed the most ordinary.
Of course, no one stood up to say anything at this moment. As early as during the period from Wuwei Palace to Xuanyang Territory, Yu Haitang had already secured his leadership position.
Including the Lei Army, which did not nominally belong to her, they had already reached a tacit understanding with her and would completely obey her orders in the upcoming rat tide war.
Then Yu Haitang and Xue Yan walked into the pavilion one after the other, and the former sat on the only empty seat.
At this moment, looking at Yu Haitang and Xue Wuxia who were pretending not to know each other and nodding to each other in a slightly cold manner, Xia Jinyu still found it a bit funny, because if you really counted, the four representatives representing the four forces in this stone pavilion could actually be counted as three and a half of their own people.
Only Di Feijing is half, and he will temporarily let the entire Shaohou Mansion rely on the ghost market.
Of course, even if they are all family members, some things and interests need to be made clear. After all, these four representatives must give an explanation to the forces behind them.
"It's a little early." Yu Haitang was the first to speak. "As far as I know, the Buddhist land has also formed a Western Xuan coalition, and it should arrive at the Wasteland Desert tomorrow. It would be inappropriate for us to discuss it first."
"It's not early, because if it's later there will be no chance." Xia Jinyu looked at Yu Haitang. With just one sentence, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat confrontational.
"The opportunity you are referring to, are you talking about just now?" Yu Haitang seemed to be thinking about something.
She had indeed been paying attention to the battle situation in the wasteland and desert, but she definitely didn't know as much detail as Xia Jinyu did. On the forum, the topic they were discussing had just shifted to Li Shizhou, which didn't give Xia Jinyu time to explain the new discovery.
Xia Jinyu nodded and said seriously:
"From the very beginning, the rhythm of this battle was controlled by the enemy. They broke through three checkpoints set up by our Ghost Market in one charge. Then the flying rats attracted too much attention, giving them the opportunity to set up this deadly killing move buried underground in the wasteland desert."
Then Xia Jinyu began to explain his findings and some of his speculations.
This also made Di Feijing and Yu Haitang realize that the rat tide attack just now was not the other party's attempt to break into the Xuanyang Region, but to cooperate with the thousands of rats lying in ambush underground to form a large trap with a taut rope.
Now that this group of rats has been forced to retreat, it also means that a large circle has been formed, cutting off a gap that can be entered and exited at any time. This will be a key strategic step that can be used for both offense and defense.
"Wait, Mr. Xia, what you mean is that now the entire desert, except for this place, is like a huge trap. If we step into it, we will be overwhelmed by the vicious rats that have been ambushed underground, and then besieged and killed.
Especially the number of rats. According to the aliens, there are as many as 200 million of them. After fighting for a day, I'm afraid we haven't even eliminated one-tenth of them.
So why do we continue to put the battlefield in such a disadvantageous position?"
Kou Zhong frowned. The situation was much worse than he had expected when he arrived.
The geographical advantage he originally thought to have was already occupied by the enemy. So according to his thinking, he naturally had to withdraw as soon as possible. He couldn't be so stupid as to step into a trap even though he knew it was a trap.
However, this question, which seemed easy to answer, was met with silence.
"Am I wrong? Why not give up the wasteland and desert?" Kou Zhong was puzzled.
Then, at Di Feijing's signal, Kou Zhong looked up at the sky diagonally behind him. There was an airship there, and he knew that it should be the filming crew of the Ghost Market. Although one of them was blown up by the flying rats, two more were quickly added.
While being responsible for the fourth line of defense, I was also taking pictures of myself.
He was also looking forward to the upcoming live news broadcast on the Ghost Market. After all, even if he had a destiny body with the memories of a second life, he couldn't refuse the opportunity to show off in front of millions of people!
But at this moment, he suddenly understood why he could not evacuate.
Judging from the scale of this rat tide, once they withdraw to Xuanyang Territory, countless towns in Xuanyang Territory will inevitably suffer. The person who made this decision at this time, and the forces they represent, will also suffer the greatest backlash from public opinion!
This plan to broadcast the entire process of the rat tide battle live is a double-edged sword.
During this period, the Ghost Market can represent the public opinion of the entire Kyushu, and the reinforcements coming to help will also gain considerable reputation and enhance their own cohesion, but the prerequisite is to achieve an impeccable victory.
Once the fighting spreads to civilians, all good things turn into bad things.
Therefore, unless the rat-killing coalition led by Gui Shi is completely defeated, even if they know there is a trap and even explain the pros and cons to the audience before the live broadcast, they will retreat into Xuanyang Territory first and cause Xuanyang Territory to suffer heavy losses by the rat tide.
You will definitely be criticized to pieces by your own people first.
"Why do I feel like those rats are plotting something against our live news broadcast?" Kou Zhong muttered to himself, knowing how stupid his idea was.
And his words also received a response from Xia Jinyu.
"You're right. This is an open conspiracy. Of course, the mice can't come up with this method. The key is that someone is giving the mice advice."
"Someone is giving advice to the mouse, Manager Xia. Your guess is a bit too strong. Without evidence, it may lead to some bad consequences." Di Feijing reminded.
"It's not speculation, it's the truth."
Then Xia Jinyu used the voice transmission token to project the video shot by Happy No. 2 before his escape, especially the footage of Liu Bai, the Rat King and a person suspected to be the fifth prince of the previous generation of the Yu family, to everyone present.
The entire video is not long, and the subsequent battle was not captured.
Only Happy No. 2 successfully crossed the poisonous forest and witnessed the scene of the two people and the rat, and then ended with him being chased back into the poisonous forest.
This also brought a great shock to the people present. Even though the host of the Ghost Market had been hinting on the live news that something was wrong with the rat tide outbreak and that it was suspected to be human-controlled, the task on the player's side also gave an indirect hint.
But this cannot be used as evidence.
But now it’s different. The weakness of the Great Xuan Dynasty has been completely grasped.
However, the expressions of the people present were not very good.
"Shopkeeper Xia, I don't recommend exposing this video. At least it's not appropriate now." Di Feijing said solemnly.
"I understand." Xia Jinyu nodded, "I just want you to know this first."
"I have a question." Yu Haitang looked at Xia Jinyu.
Xia Jinyu gestured to the other party to ask.
Yu Haitang said in a deep voice:
"You have confirmed through actual combat that it is impossible for 200 million rats to rush forward at once. It is because of the existence of the Beast King that the ferocious force can be utilized to the maximum extent. And the most appropriate and efficient attack method is to use a swarm of tens of millions of rats as the largest unit, right?"
"Ah."
"But what about the Beast King? The Beast King can gather the power of millions of rats, so what about the Beast King..."
Before Yu Haitang finished speaking, her eyes were already looking solemnly towards the depths of the wasteland and desert. The three people who were sitting together stood up at the same time, because the originally quiet and peaceful night seemed to suddenly turn into a roaring wind, lightning and rain!
In just a moment, a terrifying aura like divine power appeared as if awakening from the wasteland and desert, looking down on the entire earth. Even a strong being like the Dharma Realm could only tremble in fear under this divine power!
At this moment, Yu Haitang's guess has been best supported.
