"Your Majesty, please stop putting Old Zhao Head in a difficult position." Wang Ying Xuan saw Zhao Tingjianâs expression becoming increasingly distressed and reluctantly helped him out, "With Old Zhao Headâs abilities, even if he had the guts, he wouldnât have the skills for this. He definitely didnât do it."
"Wang Ying Xuan, thank you for helping me out." Zhao Tingjianâs old face flushed red, and he glared at her fiercely.
"Youâre welcome, why wouldnât I, since weâre teamed up together~" Wang Ying Xuan waved her hand with a grand and visionary demeanor, "As a team, the most important thing is internal unity."
"Who teamed up with you?" Zhao Tingjian huffed and puffed, "Youâre just one of the many generals under my command, and merely a Deputy General at that."
"Oh~ Old Zhao Head, thatâs not what you said when you took my half-immortal artifact." Wang Ying Xuan glanced at him, "We agreed to soar together."
"If you want to fly, fly yourself, Iâm too old to keep up."
"If you canât fly, donât sit on the latrine and not shit! Youâre holding back us young people from advancing."
"Come, come, let me..."
The old and the young bickered as they spoke.
"You two, enough, alright? Isnât it time to argue over this?" The Immortal Supremeâs face darkened as he angrily reprimanded them, "Both of you, tell me, what do you plan to do next? Wang Ying Xuan, arenât you supposed to be full of clever ideas? Why are you silent now?"
Since this matter wasnât perpetrated by Zhao Tingjian, itâs clear that the Immortal Dynasty was being framed and set up.
Being caught off guard and forced into a war, and having to face the double pressure from both the Demon God of Darkness and Kill and the Yincha Demonic God, how could the Immortal Supreme not be angry, not be anxious?
If he didnât openly curse, it was already a sign of good manners.
The ones behind this better not give him any handle, or he certainly wouldnât let it slide!
"Immortal Supreme, even if I am the War Goddess reborn, Iâm not omnipotent." Wang Ying Xuan rolled her eyes, "Back then, being able to take down three Demonic King Fortresses was largely due to catching them off guard, and even then, it took quite a few Transcendent Void Realm practitioners to achieve such results. But now, with just the small force in our East Line Defense Zone, defending against Redstone and the other three Demonic King Fortresses is already stretching our capabilities. Now that the Demonic God of Darkness and Killâs vengeful army has rallied elite forces from five Demonic King Fortresses, plus the forces from Redstone and the others, their total strength is at least three times ours."
At this point, Wang Ying Xuanâs expression also turned grave: "With such a vast disparity in forces, the Demonic Clan doesnât even need any strategy or tactics; they can just steamroll us."
This is the biggest issue on the battlefield beyond the domain right now.
The overall strength of the Demonic Clan is far superior to the Immortal-Demon Dynasties. Normally, the various Demonic Gods and their respective Demonic King Fortresses are a loose sand, engaging in their own battles. But once united for some reason, the pressure faced by the Immortal-Demon Dynasties multiplies.
Now, with just two Demonic Gods joining forces, the Immortal Dynasty is already under tremendous pressure.
The Immortal Supreme glared at her: "Werenât you boasting about achieving unparalleled feats every day? Didnât you confidently claim youâd soar high with Old Zhao Head? Why the sudden cowardice?"
"Itâs not like there are no solutions." Wang Ying Xuanâs eyes twinkled, "Isnât the Immortal Supreme adept at projecting illusions? You could create more illusions to wear down the enemy, charge in for chaos, and kill as many as possible."
"You brat! Are you hooked on treating me as cannon fodder?" The Immortal Supreme couldnât help but knock on her head, "Do you know how much Immortal Spirit Qi it takes for me to project even one illusion? And the damage caused by losing one?"
"Ouch~"
Wang Ying Xuan quickly covered her head, then glanced at Zhao Tingjian: "Letâs talk seriously. Didnât the Demon God of Darkness and Kill claim to seek revenge on Old Zhao Head? Why not hand him over for the Demon God to deal with? It might pacify its anger. After all, Old Zhao Head keeps thinking about retirement and isnât much use."
"You insolent girl, wasnât it enough that I reprimanded you a few times? Do you really have to come up with such a rotten idea?" Zhao Tingjian couldnât help but knock on her head as well, speaking irritably, "I merely want to retire, not to die. I have a plenty of wonderful retirement life awaiting me."
"Handing over Commander Zhao would also be useless." The Immortal Emperor sighed, a faint worry appearing on his radiant face, "The reason the Demon God of Darkness and Kill is so furious is partly to avenge his successor, and mostly to retrieve the âDark True Demon Seedâ. Even if we send ten Old Zhaos for it to kill, it wouldnât resolve the crisis of the Demonic Clanâs forces pressing down."
Her words hit the point.
The fact that the Dark True Demon Seed had been inherited by Young Master Ming Shura was not a top secret event. The Immortal Emperor naturally had received related information long ago.
Now, with Young Master Ming Shuraâs sudden death, she immediately had speculations.
After hearing the Immortal Emperorâs explanation, Wang Ying Xuan suddenly realized.
She had been puzzled before. It was understandable for the Demon God of Darkness and Kill to be enraged and press his army as the Young Master of Ming Shura, his successor, suddenly died. But for him to go as far as to invite the Yincha Demonic God and join forces, which seemed a bit exaggerated.
After all, as far as she knows, familial bonds among the Demonic Clan arenât as close as those among the Human race here. Not to mention, the number of generations between the Demon God of Darkness and Kill and Young Master Ming Shura is unknown.
But if itâs because of the Dark True Demon Seed, it all makes sense.
According to the Immortal Emperorâs description, this thingâs effect is almost comparable to the humanâs Immortal Scripture. If the Immortal Scripture of the Immortal Dynasty or the Immortal Palace were lost, the Immortal Dynasty here would likely do everything possible to retrieve it.
