Chapter 241 - To Save The Besieged
"As you fight, retreat when necessary. In no time, the Divine Snow Demon Emperor will retreat too."
The content of the letter was very simple, but Zhang Ji's heart ricocheted violently.
Since the Divine Snow Demon Emperor had come to attack in the night, he naturally came out from his lair. Even if there were some remaining demons, they were just insignificant figures.
The Divine Snow Demon Emperor was ready to give up at any time.
Hence, he was sure that Chen Chen wouldn't have gone to the Divine Snow Demon Emperor's camp.
'Could he have gone to look for the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor or the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor…'
Zhang Ji trembled violently.
The Berserk Lion Demon Emperor and the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor rarely appeared on the battlefield. They were not usually stationed with the Divine Snow Demon Emperor either.
According to the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord's speculation, the camps of the two Demon Emperors were probably behind the Divine Snow Demon Emperor.
He was expressing his stance that they had to go through the Divine Snow Demon Emperor before they could do anything to the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor and Berserk Lion Demon Emperor.
Now that the Divine Snow Demon Emperor had come to launch an attack at night, Zhang Ji reckoned that it wouldn't be difficult for Chen Chen to pass through their camp.
However, the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor and the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor were not to be trifled with either. They were ruthless demons who had slaughtered countless humans, ones whose cultivation levels had all reached the middle of the Essence Soul realm. After the bloodline enhancement, their strength had also increased greatly.
They were definitely considered famous powerhouses among those that were in the middle of the Essence Soul realm.
'But Big Brother went alone… He's obviously courting death! His cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul realm!'
At this moment, Zhang Ji finally understood why Chen Chen left without saying goodbye. If Chen Chen had informed him in advance, Zhang Ji would have never let Chen Chen go.
Boom!
A massive sound suddenly emerged from behind, causing the entire camp site to shake violently. Apart from that, an extreme chilliness passed through the array and into the campground.
Zhang Ji silently put the letter into the storage ring and walked out of the tent with red eyes.
...
The temperature was gradually getting cooler as they delved deeper into the night.
Chen Chen did not hide too much and flew straight over the Divine Snow Demon Emperor's camp. The others didn't react at all.
Clearly, the true experts had already left.
Chen Chen did not deal with the remaining nobodies, instead continuing to fly.
Before he could use the system to search, he saw a campground in the distance, one which was very near the Divine Snow Demon Emperor's campground.
The Divine Lion's mark was carved on the tent, which obviously belonged to the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor.
He searched using his divine senses, but he didn't discover the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor's camp nearby.
Compared to the arrogant and condescending Berserk Lion Demon Emperor, the Crimson Fox was clearly much more alert.
That was exactly what Chen Chen wanted.
He didn't dare to act rashly against the two Demon Emperors.
After restraining his aura, Chen Chen gradually got closer to the campground.
There was light flickering in the large campground, so it wouldn't be that easy to silently sneak in.
In this case, Chen Chen had to summon Green Bean.
"What do you want?"
Qinglin looked at the scene around her and asked coldly.
"Invade the camp," Chen Chen answered.
Qinglin's divine senses were extremely powerful and no weaker than the peak of the Essence Soul realm. In an instant, she sensed the number of experts in the camp and her face became sullen.
"One mid-stage Essence Soul realm, one early-stage Essence Soul realm, and more than ten Nascent Soul realm cultivators. You're just a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. What are you doing trying to break into the camp? Are you out of your mind?"
Chen Chen shook his head helplessly and replied, "I don't have a choice, I can't find anyone to help me."
Before the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord left, Chen Chen had thought of sneaking in an attack together with him.
Unfortunately, after careful consideration, he discovered that it wouldn't work.
On the one hand, he didn't want to expose Green Bean's incredible talent.
On the other hand, he and the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord would only have a chance when the Divine Snow Demon Emperor was getting ready to attack at night.
If the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord could get a chance to strike, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor would definitely die.
If the Divine Snow Demon Emperor received news of the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor's death, it would probably go mad and slaughter all the human cultivators.
In the end, they would undoubtedly perish together.
Chen Chen didn't want to see that happen.
If he only ended up killing the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor after using so many people as bait, it would be a major loss.
Today, he seemed to be invading the camp, but he was actually trying to relieve a besieged ally by attacking the home base of the
besiegers.
As long as the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor did not die, the Divine Snow Demon Emperor would certainly return to help, and Zhang Ji would then be freed from the crisis.
Of course, he couldn't kill the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor even if he wanted to.
Although he had the help of a great expert like Qinglin, he didn't believe that she could kill an expert who was of the same level as her just by glaring at him.
If that was possible, he would focus on cultivating his divine senses and ignore everything else in the future.
...
When he quietly delved into the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor's campground, he was overwhelmed with a horrible stench.
Chen Chen looked into the distance, only to see that there were corpses of civilians lying in a corner on the ground. They seemed to have died tragic deaths and had obviously suffered great torture before they died.
Chen Chen did not look further, instead putting on an indifferent expression.
The point he chose to break through was the place where the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor was holding the human captives because that was the place with the weakest defense.
In the eyes of demons, they were just a bunch of fragile humans who didn't have to be guarded against.
They could hold hundreds or thousands of ordinary civilian captives using the most ordinary array.
Soon, Chen Chen saw the array.
There was a thin barrier that covered an area of only a few hundred square feet, but there were nearly a thousand mortals in rags there.
The mortals were all jaundiced and gaunt. Their eyes were hollow and their bodies were covered in wounds as they lay hopelessly on the ground.
There was fresh blood flowing in the array and excrement was piled up everywhere. The humans weren't bothered at all. In fact, there were even a few that no longer had any vitality. Their faces had already decomposed, and they were emitting a foul odor.
'They're originally of the same nature...'
As a human, Chen Chen felt extremely upset when he saw that. His eyes were bloodshot and full of tears.
Qinglin looked at the scene within the array, and then looked at Chen Chen without saying a single word.
When Chen Chen slowly walked to the array, Qinglin said coldly, "These fragile mortals have already given up on life and their mental strength has already been exhausted. Even if they can be resurrected, they'll just be a bunch of walking corpses."
Chen Chen didn't answer. Of course he understood that.
Even if walked towards the mortals, they didn't look at him at all.
God knows what they had experienced. They had a strong desire to die and all that was left was an empty shell.
"In the next life… Don't reincarnate as a human. We cultivators are too powerless."
After softly muttering those words, the Divine Condensation Pearl in Chen Chen's mind moved a little and the mental strength of nearly a thousand mortals vanished.
The mortals were so fragile that they weren't even able to withstand the spatial fluctuations that occurred the moment they were placed in the Little Carefree Immortal Palace. Besides, the Little Carefree Immortal Palace couldn't fit so many people.
Once the great battle erupted, they would definitely die... Instead of dying in the aftermath of the battle, it would be better to let them die a painless death and leave this miserable world.
After sending them away, Chen Chen lowered his head quietly, his expression not clearly seen.
Seeing this, Qinglin's eyes were full of astonishment.
Before she could react, Chen Chen suddenly held Green Bean in his arms and smiled in a vaguely twisted manner.
"Qinglin, do me a favor. Otherwise, I'll take Green Bean away with me to a faraway place when I get the chance!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Qinglin was livid and her gaze immediately became dangerous.
"Your divine sense attack is useless to me. Yes, I am threatening you!" Chen Chen exclaimed fearlessly, seemingly having gone all out.
"Good! Very good! You'd better remember this."
Qinglin turned around and strode towards the center of the campground.
Every time she passed a tent, all the demonic cultivators in them would fall silent. After she passed more than ten tents in a row, nearly a hundred demons died quietly.
It was as if she was venting her anger out on the demons!
At that moment, a roar finally came from the largest tent in the distance!
"You've got a death wish!"
The voice was followed by a shocking wave of spiritual power that tried to crush Qinglin!
Qinglin's expression was extremely grave, and she immediately retreated a few hundred meters before she was able to block the attack.
Chen Chen, who was hiding at the side, did not pay attention to Qinglin, but silently activated his spiritual power. Countless bolts of lightning darted out of his body, and in an instant, all the tents in the entire camp were on fire!
"Die!"
After Qinglin retreated hundreds of meters, she condensed a powerful divine sense attack and struck the large tent in the middle.
"Ah!"
With a miserable shriek, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor emerged from the tent with bloodshot eyes.
"A divine sense attack! You are that woman on the battlefield today! You shall die!"
After saying those words, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor roared into the sky, the sound waves spreading outwards by dozens of kilometers!
The powerful sound waves blasted the mortal corpses into pieces, and even Chen Chen was shocked, to the point that his face turned slightly pale!
Qinglin had a drastic change in expression, and she turned around to furiously glare at Chen Chen.
The strength of the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor was much stronger than she had imagined!
Chen Chen forcefully suppressed the discomfort within him and looked at the flames in the sky with some relief.
'Those in the Divine Snow Demon Emperor's camp should have noticed it, right?'
The thought of it put a smile on his pale face and he released an Apocalyptic Divine Thunder at the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor to increase his presence.
When the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor saw the Apocalyptic Divine Thunder, he quickly dodged and then turned to look at an Essence Soul realm expert that was from the same clan as him.
"Go kill that rascal! Leave this woman who can attack with divine senses to me!"
