In a luxurious manor in Byron City, a handsome young man in his early twenties was talking to Cao Yucheng. The second prince Liu Baoguo was also sitting and listening.
While they were talking lively, a guard walked in at the door.
"What's going on?" Liu Baoguo asked, looking at the guard and frowning.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, Fancheng has been lost." The guard looked at Liu Baoguo and said.
"What?" Liu Baoguo stood up in shock when he heard this. "Their troops captured Pingyang and Songkou, how could they reach Fancheng?"
"Their army has indeed arrived in Fancheng, and there are still 100,000 troops." The guard said helplessly, "Our defenders don't know when they arrived, and they have already broken through our city."
"Okay, you go down first," Liu Baoguo frowned and said angrily.
"Wait a minute." The handsome young man stopped him and said.
"Young Master, do you have anything else to ask?" Liu Baoguo looked at him and asked.
This young man is none other than the handsome young man Nangong Aotian met at the bottom of the valley, that is, the young sect leader. If Leng Meier is here, he must know him, because he is Murong Yi. That is, Murong, the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Heng's grandson.
"How is the situation in the three fortresses?" the young sect master asked with a frown.
"It has not been lost yet." The guard said quickly, "Fan City had just been lost when I came here."
"Okay, you go down first." The young sect master nodded and said nothing more.
"Young Sect Master, what do you think we should do now?" Cao Yucheng looked at the Young Sect Master and asked.
"I think those three fortresses may not be able to be saved." The young sect master frowned and thought for a while and said, "I didn't expect them to take action so quickly. It's obvious that they had already made arrangements long before the chaos in the imperial capital. This Nangong Ao
God is indeed very shrewd, it seems that our game was actually controlled by him."
"Now our Byron City has become an isolated city, what should we do?" Liu Baoguo said with a frown.
"How can Byron City be taken down so easily?" The Young Sect Leader looked at Liu Baoguo and said with a smile, "The foundation here is already very solid, and with your 150,000 troops stationed, they want to capture such a city.
The city is not that easy, not to mention that there is still a very strong part of our Heavenly Demon Sect staying here."
"But just having such an isolated city won't be of much use to us?" Liu Baoguo said with a frown.
"Don't worry, the defense here is not easy for them to attack. I think they took down all the cities around us just to isolate us and cut off our supplies. However, our Byron City has already prepared very good materials.
It's enough, it's not very difficult to resist for a year and a half." The young master smiled and said, "By then I think the Yinying Empire's army will be able to arrive."
"I see." Liu Baoguo relaxed his frown slightly at this time.
"Let me ask you, are you sure that besides Nangong Aotian, there is someone else who possesses the terrifying weapon you mentioned? And he is also someone who practices electric fighting spirit?" The young sect leader looked at Cao Yucheng and suddenly asked.
"Yes, I have indeed seen that person, because it was that person who disguised himself as the housekeeper of my mansion and rescued Leng Meier." At this time, the second prince Liu Baoguo said immediately.
"How old is this person?" the young sect master asked with a frown.
"He was dressed as Butler Li at the time, so we didn't see his actual age, but according to reports from my staff, his strength should have reached the martial master level, and he is also a spiritual master." Liu Baoguo thought for a while and said.
"That's right, this person not only cultivates electric fighting spirit, but he is also a spiritual master." Cao Yucheng also nodded.
"It seems that I was careless this time." The young sect master frowned and said, "I think it is possible that I was targeted by them when I went to that ruins, and it is very likely that their army was heading towards Fancheng at that time."
"Are you saying that the person you met was probably the one who rescued Leng Meier?" Cao Yucheng asked.
"It should be so. In this case, the appearance of that person is not a coincidence, but they discovered my whereabouts." The young sect master frowned and said, "This time we were a little careless in our actions, and we were actually caught behind.
Follow up."
"But it doesn't rule out that someone in Byron City has sneaked in." Cao Yucheng thought for a while and said, "I think we still have to pay close attention."
"You are right." The young sect master nodded and said, "There is one more thing you should take care of right away."
"What's going on?" Cao Yucheng asked quickly.
"Go and check for me, who is that colleague who uses spiritual power and fighting spirit, and how does he practice it?" The young sect master frowned and said, "It seems that no one on the mainland can practice fighting spirit and spiritual power at the same time.
Will we reach that level soon?"
"Yes, I will immediately send someone to the imperial capital to investigate this matter." Cao Yucheng nodded quickly and said.
At this time, in an extremely majestic and luxurious palace in the distance, directly in front of the main hall, a tall and handsome man, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, was standing there. Not far below him was
At that time, there stood an old man who looked to be eighty or ninety years old, richly dressed and very tall.
"Murong Heng, I heard that your Heavenly Demon Sect's action against the mercenary families of the Chinese Empire failed, and your struggle for political power in the Chinese Empire also failed, right?" The handsome and mysterious man frowned at the eighty-ninety-year-old man.
He said with a frown.
"This is my dereliction of duty." At this time, the face of the ninety-year-old man was full of panic.
"Hmph!" How long have you, the Demon Sect, been dealing with such a trivial matter?" The mysterious and handsome man seemed very angry at this time.
"Demon Emperor, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to obtain the secrets of the mercenary family of the Chinese Empire." Murong Heng hurriedly bowed to this handsome and mysterious man before saying.
"Humph, you didn't find out the secret of the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire, but instead escaped a little girl. Now you haven't done anything about the Chinese Empire. What are you doing?" The mysterious and handsome middle-aged man looked at
Murong Heng's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "Don't think that I don't know anything because I'm in seclusion. Don't just focus on fighting among yourself and forget about important things. Once I come out of seclusion, you haven't finished the things I told you.
, do you know the consequences?"
"Yes. I will definitely do my best." Murong Heng nodded quickly in reply.
"Although I have not interfered with the internal fighting before, it does not mean that I don't care. It is best that such things happen less often in the future. I still need to go into retreat for the last time. If you haven't done this after I come out of retreat,
For this matter, you no longer need to sit down as the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect." The mysterious man Junyi looked at Murong Heng and said calmly.
"Yes, I will definitely find the hidden secrets of the mercenary families in the Silver Eagle Empire and the Chinese Empire as soon as possible." Murong Heng nodded quickly and said.
"There is no need to tell the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect about my existence for the time being, but it won't be necessary soon. At that time, even those pretentious and decent people knew about my existence, and there was nothing they could do about me." The mysterious man looked at Murong Heng.
said.
"I know." Murong Heng nodded quickly and said.
"There's nothing else to do, please step back." The handsome mysterious man nodded and waved his hand.
"Yes." Murong Heng bowed and bowed before slowly retreating back.
After walking out of the huge palace, Murong Heng took a deep breath.
"Sect Master, has the Demon Emperor come out of seclusion?" As soon as Murong Heng came out, an old man in his eighties or nineties came up to him at the door and asked.
"Yes," Murong Heng nodded and said, "Just know it yourself at this time, the Demon Emperor won't let you talk about it for the time being."
"Then..." the old man looked at Murong Heng and said.
"But it seems that the Demon Emperor is going to retreat again. I think if the Demon Emperor comes out again this time, his strength may really break through, because at this time I have already found out his strength." Murong Heng said with a sigh.
"Then the Eighteen Palaces of Netherworld will reappear on the mainland." The old man said with emotion.
"Yes, the strength of the Eighteen Hall Masters is very terrifying. I think that after the Demon Emperor comes out of seclusion this time, the Eighteen Hall Masters will also come out of seclusion. I am a little surprised now thinking about how strong our strength is." Murong
Heng glanced at the empty palace in front of him with some fear and said.
"It seems that I will never make the same mistakes again." The old man looked at Murong Heng and sighed.
"I really hope that the Demon Emperor will come out of seclusion soon. Then it will be our chance to unify the world. I think that when our three major sects were about to unify the continent five thousand years ago, they were forcibly destroyed by those pretentious people. This
Secondly, if the Demon Emperor's strength continues to improve, I think there will be no one in the world who can defeat him!" Murong Heng said excitedly.
"Is the Demon Emperor really the descendant of the Demon Emperor five thousand years ago?" The old man looked at Murong Heng and asked.
"Yes, only people from the Cui family can practice the Heavenly Demon Art. The Demon Emperor is Cui Zhihai, the descendant of Cui Batian, the first-generation Demon Emperor who created the legend five thousand years ago." Murong Heng nodded.
"I wonder what secret the mercenary family has. Why does the Demon Emperor insist on getting that secret?" The old man looked at Murong Heng and said, "What secret is that?"
"I don't know much about this matter. But you'd better not inquire." Murong Heng said with a smile.
"We have to hurry up, otherwise we will be overtaken by the Shura Sect or the Netherworld Sect, and our status will not be as good as theirs when the Demon Emperor comes out of seclusion." The old man looked around and said in a low voice.
"Humph, those people from the Netherworld Sect don't have a clue yet, but the Shura Sect has to be on guard." Murong Heng nodded and said, "We must find a way to control the mercenary family of the Silver Moon Empire. At the same time, find Leng Tiexin when we go back.
, let him try every means to find out where the secret of the mercenary family is hidden."
"Yes, I will go see Leng Tiexin immediately after I get back." The old man saluted quickly and said.
"By the way, I don't think the dispute with the Netherworld Sect will happen again. After all, the Demon Emperor is about to leave seclusion at this time, and we can't bear to cause his displeasure because of these things." Murong Heng thought.
I wanted to say, "After all, the Demon Emperor now has the strength to unify the continent. The Demon Emperor must be very unhappy if we have an internal fight at this time."
"Okay, I will pay attention to this matter." The old man nodded quickly and agreed.
