At this moment, as the many Combined Demons were sealed away by Jiang Fan, some Mahayana Realm Demons immediately sensed what was happening in Immortal Fox City, and their expressions all turned extremely ugly.
They had originally felt that their plan this time was absolutely foolproof, that they would definitely be able to behead Yue Xiumu.
Who could have imagined that not only did Yue Xiumu not die, but instead it was their subordinates who suffered disaster.
"Damn it, our plan has completely failed this time, even Lord Possession Guās aura has vanished without a trace. Perhaps Lord Possession Gu has already been slain by that Yue Xiumu."
"How is that possible? How did the other side discover it? Sheās just a Mortal Cultivator, thereās simply no way she could pull this off. What on earth happened?"
"Donāt forget, the Spirit Ruins Realm is not some ordinary Mortal World. This world has far too many Immortal relics left behind. Who knows what methods these Mortal Cultivators have grasped."
"Thatās right, this is also why even after spending hundreds of millions of years we still havenāt been able to completely conquer the Spirit Ruins Realm. These damned Mortal Cultivators have obtained too many trump cards from the Immortal Realm."
"If thatās truly the case, what should we do next? Failing to kill Yue Xiumu means our plan has utterly collapsed. Continuing to fight like this is meaningless; itās just throwing lives away for nothing."
The many Mahayana Demons discussed in a clamor.
Their faces were extremely unsightly. They had never thought such a thing would happen. According to their previous plan, this King of the Wanhu Demon Kindom was doomed; no one would be able to save her.
Who could have expected a variable to appear? Not only did it allow Yue Xiumu to survive, even the Body Integration Realm Demons they sent over have completely vanished; from the look of it, their chances of survival are slim.
"Thereās nothing more to say. Failure is failure; thereās no need to make excuses."
"Retreat. If we keep fighting, we wonāt gain anything. This is not the time for a final decisive battle."
"It seems that relying on our strength alone, we canāt completely exterminate the native cultivators of the Spirit Ruins Realm. We might need Demons from other worlds to come here and support us."
"But if we do that, weāll be scolded by the upper-level, and our scores will be reduced."
"Thereās no helping it. The interests of the Demon Race are what matter most."
"Then we can only wait for reinforcements. Once the reinforcements of the Demon Race arrive, all the native cultivators of this world will have to die."
The many Mahayana Level Demons were brimming with murderous intent, endless killing will surging in their hearts.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!
The next second, the Demon army that had been surging forward like a tide received the order; they immediately stopped their assault on Immortal Fox City and instead began to retreat in an orderly fashion.
One high-tier Demon after another was extremely unwilling, but this was an order from the Mahayana Level Demons; they could do nothing about it.
......
This scene was naturally also seen by the many Great Powers of the Demon Race.
They could hardly believe it; they had never thought that the overwhelming Demon army would just retreat like this.
They had originally thought that Immortal Fox City would be completely annihilated today.
Unexpectedly, things took a sharp turn for the better; it was truly unbelievable.
"What on earth is going on? Why did these Demons suddenly retreat?"
"Yeah, they had the absolute advantage; thereās no way they would do such a thing for no reason."
"Wait, what about the King? What is the Kingās current situation? Could it be that she was assassinated by the Demons?"
"Rest assured, the Kingās Soul Lamp is still shining brilliantly, with no sign of death. Clearly, the King is still hiding safely and has not been discovered by the Demons."
"That really gave me a huge fright. Just now, the Grand Array of Immortal Fox City suddenly failed, and I thought those Demons had already infiltrated the city, planning to assassinate the King, but in the end nothing happened."
"Since these Demons have already retreated, then when will the King return?"
"Thereās no need to worry about that. The King is concealed in the dark, rapidly recovering her cultivation, so sheāll need some time before she can return. During this period, the various affairs of the Wanhu Demon Kindom can only be handled by us ourselves."
"Thatās indeed the case. The Kingās safety is what matters most; everything else is trivial. As long as the King is still alive, the Wanhu Demon Kindom will remain in its prime."
The many Great Powers of the Demon Race all let out a breath of relief.
They felt that, compared to their initial expectations, the outcome now was better by who knew how many times.
Previously, they had believed that after this great battle, at the very least most Integration Great Demons and Mahayana Realm Great Demons would fall.
But now, their high-tier combat power had basically not suffered any major loss.
At most, only a small portion had fallen.
Compared to the annihilation of the entire Wanhu Demon Kindom, the final result was simply excellent.
"Damn it, the Wanhu Demon Kindom still hasnāt been destroyed. Weāve been hiding in the Wanhu Demon Kindom for so longādo we still have to keep playing spies? When will we be able to return to the Demon Cave?"
"Yeah, millennium after millennium, the time has been so long that Iāve almost started thinking Iām a Demon Race Cultivator. When will it end?"
"Thereās nothing we can do. This Yue Xiumu is unfathomable, even more terrifying than we imagined. We need to keep lurking and wait for the moment to deliver a fatal blow."
"Exactly. This is just a minor failure, nothing to fuss about. Our lifespan is long; we can afford to keep waiting."
"Thatās indeed true. No matter how powerful this Yue Xiumu is, she only has a Lifespan of a hundred thousand years. Of course, since she has the bloodline of a Nine-tailed Immortal Fox, she might survive for several hundred thousand years, but compared to us Demons, sheās far inferior. We can completely wait until this womanās Lifespan is exhausted."
