Chapter 840: Chapter 527: Treasure Mirror Assembled, Evil Yin Army! (Double-Length)

"Perhaps I can find some masters of forging to take a look," Song Changming pondered.

Moreover, he didn’t possess the special physique of the Xuwei Demon, so he couldn’t activate and use this Copper Mirror; otherwise, relying on this treasure to travel between two places would be incredibly convenient.

Back then, the Xuwei Demon had wreaked havoc for quite a long time because of this Treasure Mirror, until Prince Cui personally intervened to eliminate the Xuwei Demon tribe in the Nine Netherworld.

Now, Song Changming even had a bold idea.

Could he use the effects of this Treasure Mirror to directly travel to the bottom of the Abyss, where the core of the Sealing Array lies?

If feasible, it would greatly aid his future research on the Sealing Array.

After all, even Emperor Yun found it extremely difficult to reach the core of the array, and other human talisman masters were even less capable of personally delving into the Abyss to observe this Sealing Array.

This is an important reason why the research progress on the Sealing Array has been slow for hundreds of years.

The Abyss is too difficult to enter.

Looking at the Copper Mirror, now pieced together but showing no reaction or anomaly, Song Changming shook his head and, after a moment of fruitless research, withdrew it.

He donned a Marshal’s uniform and pushed the door open to leave.

"Young Master, the carriage is ready." Su Qingqing from the mansion noticed and leapt into the courtyard the next moment.

"Let’s go, to the Marshal’s Pavilion," Song Changming nodded.

He hadn’t forgotten his identity as the Grand Marshal of the Military Department; now that he was back, he needed to report for duty at the Marshal’s Pavilion.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed A Da at the mansion to keep a close watch on the situation with the Hawk and Little Phoenix, and to inform him immediately if there was any movement.

...

Subsequently, the influence brought by the Celestial Ruins Realm gradually became apparent in various outside regions.

Some demon clans that obtained ancient secret treasures began to rise to fame, causing havoc in human territories, much like the previous Xuwei Demon tribe.

There were also powerful demons that fell and disappeared within the Celestial Ruins Realm, leaving areas leaderless and stirring up conflict, with Nine Netherworld being the most chaotic.

Without the King of the Nine Netherworlds and Celestial Venerable Mo, the great demons in Nine Netherworld learned of this and began to annex the forces and heritage left by these two demon kings.

Especially the power of the King of the Nine Netherworlds, which made other great demons green with envy, fighting endlessly over it.

During this process, a frigid Evil Yin unit quietly infiltrated Nine Netherworld from An Province.

This unit was composed of an immortal undead corpses and a large group of Evil Yin Ghosts.

The leader was none other than Yuan San, who had pledged allegiance to Song Changming, along with the two brothers from the Song Family.

Their arrival initially went unnoticed by the various forces in Nine Netherworld, until one after another of the great demons in Nine Netherworld were exterminated, and more and more powerful Evil Yin Ghosts began to roam the Nine Netherworld territory.

Only then did they realize the situation was dire, but by then it was too late.

Relying on overwhelming combat power, Yuan San quickly swept through everything and annexed everything.

Any powerful demon clan that refused to bow to him either perished on the spot or were forcibly driven away from Nine Netherworld.

Thus, Yuan San smoothly took over all the power and territory of the King of the Nine Netherworlds and Celestial Venerable Mo, with signs of further expansion.

Other demon clans were somewhat dumbfounded, wondering who on earth these scattered undead corpses were, and how they possessed such formidable combat power.

Even when some great demons banded together to trouble these undead corpses, they ended up dead or fled.

A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.

Gradually, even some human forces located in Nine Netherworld, upon hearing about the terrifying and bizarre Evil Yin army sweeping through everything, chose to relocate and flee, without any intention of confronting the Evil Yin army head-on.

Thus, in just a little over a month, Yuan San’s Evil Yin army occupied nearly half of Nine Netherworld.

Wherever the Evil Yin Qi lingered, fear would spread, causing everyone to flee.

Cui Bai Dao, Prince’s Mansion.

Seated at a large stone table, Song Changming quietly listened to Prince Cui.

"Regarding that group of undead corpses in Nine Netherworld, Emperor Yun’s stance is that as long as they don’t attack our Human Race, we will ignore them and let them fight with the demon clans there."

"Furthermore, Nine Netherworld is barren and desolate, and borders many demon realms. We have no need to interfere; our current focus is still on reclaiming the land of Thunder Rock Two States for the Human Race, everything else is secondary."

Prince Cui said this, having just returned from an audience with Emperor Yun, relaying the decree he received.

This sweeping Yin force had already made its name heard by Emperor Yun.

"That group of undead corpses is unprecedentedly powerful; if left unchecked, I fear it will become a significant threat to us in the future."

After listening, Hu Tomb squeezed the cup in his hand, still uneasy.

Cui Bai Dao, under their governance, was the closest to Nine Netherworld.

Hu Tomb’s concerns were not without reason.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming couldn’t help but cough lightly. Seeing Prince Cui and Hu Tomb look at him, he said,

"Well, I can negotiate with that group of undead corpses; rest assured, they pose no harm to us."

"Oh?" Prince Cui seemed surprised.

"Changming, how do you have such confidence?" Hu Tomb could not help but ask.

Song Changming didn’t reveal that Yuan San served him as his master, but he disclosed the fact that his two brothers had died and come back as undead corpses.

"You’re saying you can discern the group’s future intentions through your two brothers?"

Hu Tomb hadn’t expected Song Changming had undead brothers acting as insiders within the Yin army.

"Perhaps. This group of undead corpses has not attacked the Human Race so far; they are currently only enemies with the demon clans. If we act excessively, it may backfire and push this group to the opposite side," Song Changming stated.

"Moreover, I’ve already communicated with my brother, and this group of undead corpses will only occupy the area east of Nine Netherworld, not approaching the west."

Of course, he didn’t want the great flood to intrude upon the Dragon King’s temple or cause Prince Cui and Hu Tomb to be overly cautious.

"With your assurance, Changming, I feel at ease," Prince Cui nodded, smiling.

Hu Tomb also nodded, saying, "If they only operate in the eastern part of Nine Netherworld, it’s actually beneficial for us, as it would block threats from the demon clans over there."

In the past, Cui Bai Dao had suffered quite a bit from disturbances by demon clans from Nine Netherworld.

Now, with the appearance of this group of undead corpses, aggressively driving away many demon clans from Nine Netherworld, the demon clan threats from Nine Netherworld have vanished.

This is indeed beneficial for them.

Of course, the premise is that this group of undead corpses is truly harmless to the Human Race as Song Changming indicated.

Due to trust in Song Changming, they did not doubt his words.

"We’ll leave the matter of undead corpses aside for now, after the Celestial Ruins Realm, battles in Thunder Rock Two States have gradually erupted. In the future, we might need to send some elite reinforcements from the Military Department to the battlegrounds in the two states.

Not only us, but every titled king is the same."

When Prince Cui said this, his gaze was directed at Song Changming.

Currently, Song Changming was the Grand Marshal of the Military Department, so the preparation work for this matter naturally fell to him.

"Are there requirements regarding the number and combat power?" Song Changming asked.

"Each titled king’s requirements are different, but we must at least send ten thousand elite troops, all of whom must have reached the Innate Realm to be effective." Prince Cui replied.

"Ten thousand Innate..." Hu Tomb’s eyes widened.

The requirement for reinforcements to be in the Innate Realm was not unusual, as it had always been the case.

Soldiers without Innate cultivation were not considered elite on the battlefield. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The key is that this time the requirement of ten thousand was indeed excessive.

In the past, reinforcements amounted to at most three to five thousand, and that was under urgent circumstances.

This time, the number of ten thousand was unprecedented.

Hu Tomb had served as the Grand Marshal of the Military Department for many years, and understood how greatly pulling out ten thousand Innate powerhouses would harm the Military Department in Cui Bai Dao.

But precisely because of this, it highlighted the heavy pressure on human military preparations on the battlefield.
