Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Huang Qian: You Better Have Something to Say (2/4)
The armies clashed, and supplies were of utmost importance.
However, the supplies in the cultivation world differed greatly from those of ordinary mortals.
While ordinary mortals relied on food and fodder, the cultivation world’s supplies included various medicinal pills, array scrolls, and talismanic weapons.
During war, although alchemists were present, the large scale of injuries meant that on-site alchemy was futile without a reserve of medicinal pills.
Even the mighty Nefarious Demon Region could not afford to lose its supplies.
The underlying reason was that the high-tier power of those in the Divine God Realm and above was sealed, rendering them unable to intervene.
Otherwise, the realms of humans and immortals as of now would be utterly unable to withstand the onslaught.
When the army of the Nefarious Demon Region returned to their rear base and saw the ruined base and destroyed supplies, everyone’s face turned ashen.
The Evil Lord and the demon god looked at this scene with still cold expressions, then waved their hand, “Those who are injured, go heal.”
Seeing their composure, everyone was taken aback.
How could they be so calm? Eighty percent of the supplies had been destroyed!
One of the commanders from the Evil Spear Army, kneeling boldly on the ground, cried out loudly, “Your Highness Evil Lord, Your Highness demon god, three attacks have failed, and the enemy has raided our base, the honor of Nefarious Demon Region is completely lost!”
As one spoke, many others from the Nefarious Demon Region, repressing their feelings for a long time, knelt down and shouted loudly, “The honor of Nefarious Demon Region is completely lost!”
In a situation where the difference in combat power between the two sides was so vast.
Adding to that, decades of oppression had accumulated frustration and anger in the Nefarious Demon Region.
All three attacks had ended in failure!
How could the proud army of the Nefarious Demon Region bear this?
Looking at the crowd kneeling in darkness, some even on the brink of death, the demon god’s face remained calm, and he said, “Three attacks, how much of the enemy’s resources and manpower did we exhaust?”
“This…”
The people below looked at each other.
The enemy’s manpower had nearly halved in casualties.
This third attack, the resistance was evidently weaker than the first two.
The Evil Lord also grinned, “Moreover, do you think the Nefarious Demon Region only charges forward like a brute? We need to win, but we also strive to win with the minimal losses!”
The First Elder quickly exclaimed joyfully, “Could it be that the two Highnesses have already set up the plans?”
The demon god nodded slightly, then looked towards the commander from the Evil Spear Army who had spoken out first, gave him a dismissive glance, then turned and walked away, leaving just one sentence, “Kill him; disrupting the morale of the army is indeed a capital offense.”
…
Meanwhile, on top of the city walls.
After the army of the Nefarious Demon Region had returned, Ye Qiubai and the others used the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to leave the enemy’s base and returned to the city walls.
He reported the situation in front of everyone.
Divine Master Hao Tian stepped forward with a big laugh, heavily patted Ye Qiubai’s shoulder, and said, “Good lad, good lad! I didn’t expect you all could achieve this much.”
“This time, we were able to withstand the Nefarious Demon Region’s attack. The Immortal Emperor and others were right; you all indeed deserve the most credit!”
At that moment, Yin Yang Divine Master and Huang Master also came forward, only to hear Yin Yang Divine Master say with a sycophantic smile, “That’s right, including the previous two times, if it weren’t for you, Little Friend Ye and your group, we probably really couldn’t have defended.”
Although Huang Master didn’t speak, his expression said it all.
Divine Master Hao Tian sneered by the side, and Chaos Essence Sword Master also looked on indifferently at the scene.
This is quite normal. Ye Qiubai and the others’ performance in these three battles was enough to demonstrate their strength.
It could be said that below the Divine Emperor Realm, no one could defeat them anymore. The Yin Yang Divine Master and the Huang Master also knew that they were no longer a match for these young people.
If they didn’t beg for mercy and secured Blackie and the others’ forgiveness quickly, their lives would surely be taken after this affair!
Even though they were on the same side now.
But the events that had transpired couldn’t allow Ye Qiubai and the others to let go, let alone show them a friendly face.
After all, they were not saints.
Ye Qiubai was especially protective. He glanced at Blackie and then said with a smile, “Both of you are still Divine Masters, once powerful figures of The Mortal Realm. Such behavior indeed makes one feel a bit disgusted.”
Blunt!
He flatly refused the reconciliation attempt of the Yin Yang Divine Master and the Huang Master!
This made both of them feel even more ashamed and angry as they quickly retreated to the back under the mocking gaze of the others, exchanged glances, and nodded slightly at each other.
They were probably thinking of something.
“Alright, you guys go rest first; you must have exhausted a lot,” the Immortal Emperor stepped forward and said, “Your contributions will be rewarded after the battle, and you will not be slighted.”
Ye Qiubai and the others intended just that. Having charged the enemy’s stronghold and faced the onslaught of so many powerful adversaries, it was natural to be injured and depleted of immortal aura.
Thus, they clasped hands and left.
To prevent the Nefarious Demon Region from attempting another sneak attack, the Dark Lord sent numerous elites to the mountains to guard against the enemy’s raids.
After all, this was discovered only because Ye Qiubai and others suggested going to the enemy’s stronghold for a sneak attack.
If it hadn’t been discovered, the consequences would have been unimaginable…
However… sending troops to the mountains also meant a likely death, as under the detection of the opponent’s spies and Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses, there would assuredly be nowhere to hide…
In the following days, it was unclear whether the Nefarious Demon Region was replenishing supplies or recuperating, or perhaps plotting something, but six days passed without them launching an attack.
Although puzzled, the Immortal Emperor and the others didn’t think much of it, as they too had suffered severe losses and were in urgent need of replenishment and healing.
Fortunately, under Lu Changsheng’s healing formations, some warriors who were on the verge of death did not fall in battle.
It was also thanks to Lu Changsheng’s formations; otherwise, both The Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm would have lost more than half of their forces…
Behind the city walls, inside a tent.
Ji Qianyao said somewhat disappointedly, “Alright, if Senior Lu were here, he would definitely be able to resolve all of this.”
Then, she lifted the tent curtain and left.
Watching Ji Qianyao’s departing figure, Ye Qiubai and the others couldn’t help but exchange smiles.
“This Holy Maiden is too deeply invested in master,” although Hong Ying was the Empress, her interest in such gossip was still greater than that of ordinary people, she said with a laugh: “But this Holy Maiden, whether in terms of talent or appearance or personality, is top-notch. She has lowered her stance so much, how can master remain unmoved?”
Little Stone spread his hands and said, “Second Senior Sister, you know the kind of person master is. To him, women are like floods and fierce beasts!”
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “It’s a pity, but Sister Huang Qian…”
As he spoke, Ye Qiubai looked toward Huang Qian, who from the start had a somewhat unpleasant expression.
Hearing Ye Qiubai mention her, Huang Qian’s face was also filled with a “murderous” look.
“Uh…” Ye Qiubai quickly shut his mouth: “Never mind, never mind.”
Fang Qiong noticed Mu Fusheng and Ning Chenxin, whose expressions were somewhat solemn, and couldn’t help but ask, “Brothers, what are you thinking about?”
Heard Mu Fusheng and Ning Chenxin saying simultaneously, “Something’s not right.”
