Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Disintegrate and Scatter Like Stars Across the Sky! (1/4)

Ancient Battlefield, Nefarious Demon Region stronghold.

Xin Hongyi led the mystical imperial guards back to this place.

In the newly constructed black palace, Xin Hongyi knelt with her head bowed.

Unknown to her, the demon god had suddenly taken his seat on the throne above.

“That person you spoke of, what has become of him?”

With her head still bowed, Xin Hongyi replied, “Your Highness, the Demon God, we can now confirm that the Devil Lord of the Demon King Domain possesses a similar aura and bloodline ability to what you described.”

Upon hearing this, the demon god’s eyes opened slightly, and he lifted his hand a fraction, saying, “Stand up and speak.”

At his command, Xin Hongyi stood up, though she still slightly bent her body. She recounted the details of Blackie’s performance in the recent battle and also produced a jade pendant. The scenes projected from within the jade pendant were so vivid that it even allowed one to sense the aura that had emanated from the battlefield!

Seeing this, the demon god rose abruptly, his normally stern face showing a trace of excitement, “Have you brought him here?”

Xin Hongyi shook her head.

Seeing her response, the demon god’s brow furrowed, and an irresistible demonic might emanated, pressing Xin Hongyi back down to her knees.

“Give me a reason.”

Struggling to speak, Xin Hongyi said, “Nine Netherworld… Underworld Palace.”

Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace? The demon god paused.

“He is the heir to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace, taken away by the powerhouses of the Nine Netherworld, we were no match for them at all.”

Hearing this, the pressure from the demon god began to withdraw slowly, “If it involves the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace, it’s only natural that you are no match.”

“Then… what kind of force is the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?”

The demon god glanced at Xin Hongyi, saying indifferently, “You do not need to know.”

“What should we do now?” Xin Hongyi asked.

The demon god spoke calmly, “The Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace will not get involved in the external struggles for power, so don’t worry about that. Just continue the normal pace of eroding the forces behind the Mortal Realm.”

“In time, he should be able to see clearly, whether to choose to return to our Demon Realm (Nefarious Demon Region is a combination of Evil Realm and Demon Realm), or to stay in The Mortal Realm, a place doomed to destruction, and perish with it.”

Hearing the demon god’s words, Xin Hongyi was inwardly shocked.

What kind of identity does Blackie have to be so valued by the demon god?

However, Xin Hongyi wouldn’t inquire about the conversation above. It was sufficient to follow orders and act accordingly.

With this in mind, Xin Hongyi bowed and said, “This subordinate understands.”

…

At this moment, The Mortal Realm seemed to be caught in a vicious cycle.

With insufficient power, if they stayed here to guard against the attack from the Nefarious Demon Region, then those powers that were gradually being eroded from within would certainly increase more and more! They would eventually collapse without an outside attack.

If they allocated forces to investigate and purge those who had turned against them, it would undoubtedly require a substantial number of troops. Then, if the Nefarious Demon Region took this opportunity to attack, their already difficult defense, which relied on trading life for life, would definitely be breached.

This problem caused great distress to the higher-ups of both The Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm.

Even more so, many people were aware of this situation, and panic began to spread throughout the military encampments!

Doing nothing was equally a slow death!

Inside the military tent.

The Immortal Emperor had gathered all the high-level leaders, including the Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, the sect leaders of the first-rate factions, and the God Lord-level factions of The Mortal Realm.

Ye Qiubai and others were naturally present as well.

“My lords, let us hear it. Does anyone have a solution?” The Immortal Emperor’s expression was grave as his gaze swept over those gathered below.

However, no one spoke up.

Ultimately, it was the Valley Master of the Immortal Burning Valley who broke the silence with a wry smile, “Divine Emperor, in this situation, there truly is no good solution.”

Once one person had spoken up.

Divine Master Hao Tian also spoke helplessly, “The difference in strength is just too great. No matter what choice we make, we have to give up on one side.”

Hearing what the two said, everyone else nodded.

The Immortal Emperor turned to the master and asked, “What about you, master?”

The master shook his head.

Seeing this, everyone fell into silence once more.

At this moment, Hong Ying suddenly stood up and said, “Perhaps we can consider a different approach.”

A different approach?

All the high-level powerhouses turned to look at Hong Ying.

Hong Ying walked up to the large sand table and spoke with neither humility nor arrogance, “All the seniors here are caught in the deadlock of ‘how to resolve the situation at the front and at the back, and to preserve both as much as possible,’ but you should have already realized that preserving both is impossible.”

Everyone was silent.

The silence was not because Hong Ying’s words were wrong, but because they were too accurate.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Hong Ying chuckled lightly and said, “Perhaps the seniors are too involved to see clearly. So if we change the way we think about it and step out of the mindset of preserving both fronts, what if we give up the front line?”

Give up the front line?!

Hearing Hong Ying’s words, everyone’s expressions were shocked, even the Immortal Emperor and the master couldn’t help but cast a glance at Hong Ying.

The Immortal Emperor looked at Hong Ying with a serious expression and asked, “What are your thoughts?”

“Continuing to defend passively like this, without a miracle, we will eventually be consumed to death by the opponent’s vast army,” Hong Ying said without a pause, her tone smooth, “So instead of that, it’s better to disperse and retreat from the front line to the rear.”

“Allowing the enemy to enter The Mortal Realm while we retreat to familiar territory to fight. By employing guerrilla tactics on all fronts to block the armies from the Nefarious Demon Region, we will surely minimize our losses and maximize the enemy’s,” she continued.

Since ancient times, those attacking a city have always had to expend more resources.

The Mortal Realm is so vast that retreating to the rear to avoid their sharp edge is an easy feat.

“In this way, we could also take the opportunity to investigate and resolve the influences bewitching The Mortal Realm on behalf of the enemy,” she added.

The master frowned slightly and said, “But in doing so, the Nefarious Demon Region will occupy the territory of The Mortal Realm at a faster pace.”

“That would only be a temporary occupation of a portion,” Hong Ying looked at the master and said, “Once we have retreated to the rear, we don’t need to defend a single point, whereas after seizing a star region, the enemy will need to station forces there. This is our greatest advantage.”

Hearing this, the master was silent.

Observing the expressions of astonishment and contemplation on everyone’s faces, Hong Ying smiled and said, “Although the occupation by the Nefarious Demon Region might lead to a heavy loss for certain factions’ territories, it is still much better than The Mortal Realm being completely annihilated by the Nefarious Demon Region.”

“As long as we deal with the Nefarious Demon Region, everything else is just a matter of starting over,” she concluded.

To put it simply, concentrated they’re a piece of excrement, dispersed they’re stars in the sky.

Hearing this.

Divine Master Hao Tian was the first to laugh heartily, “I think there’s sense in this!”

The Chaos Essence Sword Master also nodded slightly, “It is worth a try.”

The Valley Master of the Immortal Burning Valley also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the Immortal Emperor looked up and smiled, “Worthy to be his disciple, everyone agrees with this plan, right?”

All nodded in agreement!
