Outside the Purple Phoenix Palace, the human cultivators, reinforced by Huang Feifei and Immortal Lord Bing Huo, finally saw a glimmer of victory.
After a fierce battle, the main human forces successfully pacified the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Most of the demon cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Palace were slain, and the Palace Master, leading a small number of experts, fled the Jun Tian Realm, their whereabouts unknown.
They had even abandoned their old friends at the Purple Phoenix Palace.
Seizing the opportunity, the human race concentrated all their forces and besieged the Purple Phoenix Palace, trapping it completely.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Palace Master had successfully led some experts out of the Jun Tian Realm.
"Palace Master, the human race's next target for annihilation will surely be the Purple Phoenix Palace. Why don't we join forces with them to resist?"
A Heavenly Demon Palace cultivator glanced back at the Jun Tian Realm behind them and said with reluctance.
"We suffered too many losses before. Even if we stayed to join forces with the Purple Phoenix Palace, we would only last a little longer. The ultimate outcome would still be defeat, and it would be difficult to turn the tide."
The Heavenly Demon Palace Master shook his head, holding no hope for staying.
"Instead of staying to die, it would be better to take advantage of the Purple Phoenix Palace attracting the human race's attention, and then join forces with other demon armies to kill our way back and completely annihilate the human race in the Jun Tian Realm."
"Do we have any other reinforcements? Can they arrive in time?"
A demon Immortal Lord, not fully understanding the Heavenly Demon Palace Master's intentions, asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha, of course we do! They should be arriving soon!"
"Two months ago, envoys from the Demon Alliance secretly infiltrated the Jun Tian Realm and contacted me and the Purple Phoenix Palace Master.
They sent troops to launch a surprise attack on the Jun Tian Realm, and we, the two major demon forces, were to cooperate with them from the inside.
The agreed-upon date for both sides is within these two days.
I just didn't expect the human race to make the first move, giving them some advantage.
However, what we have lost now, we will eventually reclaim with interest."
The Heavenly Demon Palace Master was hatching a plan. He had brought out all the experts of the Heavenly Demon Palace.
When the Demon Alliance army attacked again, they would destroy the Jade Void Palace and the Qian Kun Palace.
By then, the Purple Phoenix Palace would also be destroyed, and the entire Jun Tian Realm would finally belong only to their Heavenly Demon Palace.
"Let's go, follow me to welcome the demon army!"
The Heavenly Demon Palace Master led his men towards the depths of a desert.
...
Xiao Lan, using her fastest speed, finally found Xiao Youyi's caravan in a small city outside the Jun Tian Realm.
"Second sister, what's so urgent?"
Xiao Youyi looked at Xiao Lan, who had flown all the way and was almost exhausted, and handed her a cup of immortal wine.
Xiao Lan took the immortal wine and drank it down, finally regaining some strength to speak.
"The demon army is coming..."
Xiao Lan relayed the intelligence she had recently gathered to Xiao Fei.
"Many powerful figures among the demon higher-ups pretended to be in secluded cultivation, but in reality, they had already quietly infiltrated the vicinity of the Jun Tian Realm, planning a surprise attack.
'Feint on the plank road, cross the Chencang secretly!' These demons are quite cunning."
Xiao Fei pondered. In the current situation, a great battle was still ongoing within the Jun Tian Realm.
Even if the human race ultimately achieved a complete victory and pacified the two major demon forces, they would surely be greatly weakened, exhausted, and their combat effectiveness significantly reduced after the war.
To be attacked by the allied demon forces at this time would be extremely difficult to handle.
"Second sister, do you know the specific location where the demon army is gathering?"
If the gathering location of the demons could be known, it would be much easier to deal with.
"We can take some people to the outskirts of their gathering point and eliminate any stray demons one by one."
These demons had infiltrated quietly one by one, so they would not be in large groups.
"I know, but it might be too late now. The demons should have already gathered."
"Where is it? I'll go take a look before making a decision."
"Second sister, Feifei is participating in the battle inside. For now, please help me manage the surrounding intelligence network."
After a few more words with Xiao Lan, Xiao Fei turned and flew out of the small city.
The demon gathering point was underground in a desert.
Xiao Fei transformed into a large crocodile, circled the outskirts of the desert, and successfully struck up a conversation with another demon who had traveled from afar. The two entered the gathering place together.
The allied demon army had long ago carved out a vast space deep underground in the desert, and a large number of demons were crowded within.
Besides demons, there were even some other minor races who had sent their experts to participate in the battle.
The gathering place was full of experts. After entering, Xiao Fei was so frightened that he dared not speak loudly.
There were more than thirty Immortal Lord level experts alone, and he also discovered several experts from the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Seeing so many demon experts, Xiao Fei felt a sense of despair. With the human forces in the Jun Tian Realm alone, they were absolutely no match.
Moreover, this was only what he saw on the surface; some experts always liked to play mysterious and only revealed themselves at critical moments.
The number of experts in the allied demon army was definitely more than those visible on the surface. According to his understanding, some demon experts were still on their way.
It was indeed difficult for the human race to contend against the major races of the entire world, like a moth flying into a flame.
Various thoughts arose in Xiao Fei's mind. He was contemplating whether there was any way to trick and kill these experts.
The giant army he commanded, if pitted against this allied demon army, would be wiped out without being able to turn the tide of the battle.
In fact, poisoning would be the best method in such an environment.
However, in the entire Immortal Realm, there were very few poisons that could be effective against Heavenly Immortals or even Immortal Lords.
At least, Xiao Fei did not possess such things.
It seemed he would have to find ways to obtain some highly toxic substances and cultivate them in his spatial dimension.
Besides poisoning, some single-use immortal artifacts with immense power should also be somewhat useful.
For example, the treasure that the demons used to trap the human race last time had even killed Immortal Lord Bing Huo.
Unfortunately, Xiao Fei did not have such treasures either.
He used to think he was very wealthy, possessing all sorts of treasures, but only when he truly needed them did he realize how impoverished he was.
Dozens of thoughts flashed through Xiao Fei's mind, but he rejected them one by one.
Finally, he suddenly remembered that he had a good brother and perhaps he could go find Ning to see if he had any solutions.
With this thought, he quietly withdrew from the gathering place.
In the chaos, Ning had recently infiltrated a group of Dao Worms.
He would often do good deeds and help others within the group, at least once every few days.
If there was no opportunity to do good deeds, he would even create opportunities to do so.
As a result, he had excellent relationships within the Dao Worm community.
Secretly, Ning was doing some petty thievery.
For example, he would stealthily lure a friend outside, and then devour them.
