Chapter 862: Chapter 538: New Year’s Eve, Demon Race Stirs! (Double Chapter)

"On the contrary, the Human Race is deeply entrenched in the Lei Province battlefield. It is said that this time, a number of hidden Great Demons were alarmed, which may pose a significant threat to the Human Race’s army in Lei Province, thus influencing the outcome of the war..."

Xi Yanxue spoke of what she knew, appearing worried for the Human Race behind Song Changming.

She didn’t quite understand why the usually cautious Human Race opted for such an aggressive strategy this time.

It was as if they were betting everything on a poker table, after recuperating for hundreds of years, and now placing their entire wager on this duel in Lei Province!

If the bet is lost, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the Human Race, even leading to a decline, making it difficult to maintain their original foundation in the Three States.

Thus, the bets placed on the Human Race by the Fox Mountain would also be in vain, like fetching water with a bamboo basket.

Not only Fox Mountain, but other Demon Race factions close to the Human Race would also face difficult situations, hence it was no wonder that Xi Yanxue would mention these concerns to Song Changming.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming shrugged and said, "This is a decision made by the three Emperors of the Human Race, I’m just a humble Marshal of Cui Bai Dao..."

Implying that not only couldn’t he decide, but he also didn’t know the intentions of the higher-ups, and he could only comply.

"With your current skills, continuing as a Marshal here is truly a waste of talent." Xi Yanxue’s beautiful eyes swept over Song Changming, shaking her head.

She just mentioned it casually, for Fox Mountain had its elders communicating with Emperor Yun, knowing more about the situation.

Like Song Changming, she was just a rapidly rising hope with infinite potential for Fox Mountain, not the one in charge.

Song Changming smiled but said nothing more.

There was no need for the conversation to delve deeper, as both of them couldn’t change much.

As the new year began, the Hawks took the Little Phoenix and left quietly in the late night to continue incubating the eggs.

Xi Yanxue stayed at the Song Mansion for a few days with Su Qingqing before returning to Fox Mountain.

Song Changping and his brother followed Yuan San back to the Nine Netherworld, and compared to Yuan Province, they now preferred the cold of the Nine Netherworld, where they felt more at ease.

At the same time, this day, the eastern border of Yun Province was astonished by the appearance of a Great Demon.

A massive fish leaped out of the frozen river, directly devouring the populace of three villages and five towns, inciting no small panic.

"It was on Purple Mist Dao, and it wasn’t until Brother Li took action that the Great Demon fled."

At the Prince’s Mansion, Prince Cui spoke to Song Changming and Hu Tomb about the matter.

Due to its proximity to their Cui Bai Dao, the rumors of the Great Demon devouring people also disturbed the stability of various parts of Cui Bai Dao.

"Even the Great Demons have started to appear..." Hu Tomb said solemnly.

"Since the end of last year, first, small demons appeared in groups, disguising themselves as bandits to mess with the people’s spirits, then some Demon Generals wielding Secret Treasures emerged like mushrooms after rain, and now even Great Demons have arrived, it seems that the Demon Race had premeditated this as a probing test."

Song Changming nodded in agreement with what Hu Tomb had said.

This was a probing action by the Demon Race, trying to see if the Human Race’s original Three States would be defenseless after concentrating their forces in Lei Province, allowing them to cause chaos at will.

"In this case, we have no choice but to be vigilant," Song Changming said.

Ordinary little demons might not cause much trouble, but if powerful Demon Generals or even Great Demons appeared, the destruction to their territories would be immense, carelessness could even lead to the fall of major cities.

All three of them knew this, so after a Great Demon appeared causing trouble on Purple Mist Dao, Prince Cui gathered the two of them.

Prince Cui made early deployments as a precautionary measure.

To prevent Great Demons from infiltrating Cui Bai Dao, their three Grandmaster combat forces were required to take action.

Hu Tomb was tasked with overseeing Lei City, monitoring the northwest borders.

Song Changming was to go to Donghua City, ensuring the safety of the southeastern regions.

Meanwhile, Prince Cui was to fortify the main city, ready to support all areas at any time.

With the high-level forces in the Military Department being severely lacking, the three of them had to put in more effort to protect the vast Cui Bai Dao.

Once finalized, Song Changming didn’t linger further, taking Su Qingqing with him and immediately heading to Donghua City the same day.

This major city in the southeast direction of Cui Bai Dao had previously suffered from vicious demon incidents, leading to its fall.

After decades of reconstruction, it had now regained its prosperity and bustling atmosphere.

Song Changming’s quiet arrival did not disturb the city.

Even many officials within the city were unaware that such a powerful figure had parachuted into Donghua City.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Song Changming took the main seat, with Su Qingqing standing behind him.

In front of him, two people bowed in greeting.

One was Hu Yang, the City Lord of Donghua City, and the other was the Captain of the city, Meng Tiankan.

"Greetings to Marshal Song!" Hu Yang bowed his head respectfully.

With his status as a City Lord, backed by the Hu Imperial Family, such respectful greetings were rare for him.

But since the visitor was Song Changming, the Grand Marshal of the Army, a figure second only to one in all of Cui Bai Dao with immense power, he had to be courteous and respectful.

On the other hand, Captain Meng Tiankan was even more humble in front of Song Changming.

Originating from the top Noble Family of the main city, the Meng Family, he knew well that even the patriarch of the Meng Family would lower himself in front of this Grand Marshal of the Military Department, without daring to lecture based on seniority.

The patriarch was not intimidated by Song Changming’s position as a Marshal but rather respected Song Changming’s personal formidable Combat Power.

Back in the day, when the Changsheng Su Family was annihilated, the powerful strength of Song Changming was well observed by the Meng Family’s patriarch.

And now, returning from the Celestial Ruins Realm, Song Changming’s cultivation strength had reached unfathomable depths.

The Meng Family Patriarch had already ordered the entire family to show absolute respect to this Grand Marshal of the Military Department.

If anyone in the family offended Song Changming, not only would the family not support them, but they would also immediately disassociate from them.

It was for this reason that Meng Tiankan was obedient and humble towards Song Changming.

"Recently, the Demon Race has been restless. I will stay in Donghua City for a while, and if a troublesome Evil Demon appears, I will personally deal with it."

Song Changming briefly explained the purpose of his visit, which was to deal with the Demon Race.

"Rest assured, Marshal, during this period, we will fully cooperate with you. Should there be anything, please feel free to instruct us," Hu Yang said solemnly.

"Mm, go and send a message to the City Lords of other major cities in the southeast, instructing them to prepare for any engagements at any time, and ignore the rest," Song Changming directed.

"Yes," Hu Yang replied.

Afterwards, he left the City Lord’s Mansion, feeling a sense of relief.

Regardless, having someone as powerful as Song Changming stationed in the city ensured its safety.

Meanwhile, elsewhere outside Cui Bai Dao, a mass of black waterlight flashed from the distance.

The black water surged, remaining stationary, eventually taking the form of a green-eyed human figure.

The figure’s face was pale, appearing somewhat frail, holding a mass of black water, a form of transforming, unceasing treasure light.

"Damn Purple Mist King, luckily I reacted quickly, if not for this Black Radiance Illusion Light, I’d have fallen into their hands by now..." The Green-eyed Weasel King grasped the black light in his hand, speaking with relief to himself.

This treasure light was an opportunity he previously obtained from the Celestial Ruins Realm, and with this treasure, his strength had improved greatly.

Even against Great Demons with the same cultivation and Tao Practice, facing him wasn’t easy, usually resulting in the opponent fleeing.

Until this time, when the Mist King struck, it was finally his turn to be driven off.

It wasn’t due to his lack of strength or weak treasure, but because the Mist King’s strength was exceptionally outstanding, even among the thirty-six Titled kings, it was a significant level of skill.

One could only say the Weasel King had chosen the wrong opponent.

In addition.

"I’ve arrived too early. The Human Race hasn’t yet reached a dead end, nor does it show signs of being overwhelmed by the Lei Province battlefield."

The Green-eyed Weasel King pondered this when suddenly a figure appeared before him.

The figure seemed to appear out of thin air, surrounded by electric light and lightning, with eyes shining brightly.

"Demon spawn, trespassing on my Cui Bai Dao, prepare to meet your end!"
