Book 5: Chapter 24: Sorry, I Emptied All Of Your Troops
The jade pendant in Su Xiangxue’s hand had the word “Li (Stand)” written on it, and he didn’t know what it meant.
“Anyway, after I find the method to build a foundation, I must go and take a look at this Fusang Shrine.”
Bai Qiuran put away the jade pendant from Su Xiangxue’s hands.
“Take care of the business right now.”
Su Xiangxue began to lead people to subdue the prisoners here, while Bai Qiuran took a few people down to the dungeon and found the Black Snake King and three others who were locked in the dungeon by the white bear king.
They were not Bai Qiuran, therefore when confronting the ink-splashing immortal, they were beaten into a state of being unable to recover. Now, these four demon kings were shackled and hung side by side on a wall, still in a coma.
Bai Qiuran let people splash them with cold water, and several demon kings woke up with a groan. They saw Bai Qiuran in front of them in the blur, and they were immediately scared sober.
They were surprised at first, then beaming with joy on their faces, and asked:
“Sword Patriarch, did you get out?”
“Yes.”
Bai Qiuran smiled and nodded.
“Wake up, the civil war is over.”
“what?”
The Black Snake King struggled and asked:
“How is the result?”
“There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”
Bai Qiuran asked back.
The four Demon Kings were obviously a little nervous. After thinking for a while, the Black Snake King hesitated and said:
“Then tell me the good news first.”
“Well, the good news is that Xiangxue took the people from the West Demon Realm and won, and the Northern Demon Realm and the emperor have already surrendered.”
Bai Qiuran nodded and said.
“What? Did we win?”
The four demon kings were overjoyed, and then Kao asked carefully:
“So the bad news?”
“Well, Xiangxue hasn’t learned about warfare, so she emptied all of your troops.”
Bai Qiuran’s face was full of apologies.
“Now there are only two dozen people left, sorry.”
——————–
The White Bear King and the White Fox King fled back to the northern area of the demon world. Cang Huangyu led the demon kings to surrender. Looking at the demon world, there was no opponent that could oppose Su Xiangxue. It could be said that the demon world was now regarded as being defeated by Su Xiangxue. The unity achieved the desired result planned by the Black Snake King and others.
But at the same time, the power of the West Demon had been exhausted by Su Xiangxue’s design. The Black Snake King had a good plan to attract Bai Qiuran to participate in the Demon Race’s civil war. There was really no force in the Demon Realm that could stop him.
But he miscalculated one thing. The map of the First Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum was indeed very important to Bai Qiuran, but it did not mean that Bai Qiuran would completely ignore the benefit of the human race because of the map.
A unified demon race that has completely lost the concept of descent and hierarchy was definitely big trouble for the human in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.
The Sacred Dynasty back then was because of a unified and powerful immortal dynasty, so the demon world was defeated, and dared not make any more ideas. But according to Wise Immortal, the Sacred Dynasty at that time also paid a considerable price.
Nowadays, the human race just came out of the war between humans and demons and took the first step towards rejuvenation.
Although the total number of demons was far less than the human, all the demons could transform, which meant even the weakest one was comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
After hundreds of thousands of years of development, their fighting power would definitely be more than that of the human race.
At least in the current Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, apart from the situation where the Righteous Alliance or the top sects of the Evil Alliance united together, it’s absolutely impossible to gather a force as large as in this civil war – tens of thousands of demons above the Golden Core stage assembled into an army to fight.
In order for the human race to get the opportunity to develop, the demon race must maintain this half-dead state.
At the beginning, Bai Qiuran did not think so far-reaching, but at the beginning of the Civil War, the Northern Demon and the Imperial Army, knowing that there might be a champion in the Western Demon, the “Sword Patriarch of human race”, yet they still chose to attack the Western Demon Realm with all their strength, because they wanted to force him out.
The reason for this was that they had a method to deal with Bai Qiuran, or that they thought they had.
Although Bai Qiuran couldn’t guess what the specific method was, it was definitely not something that several Demon Kings were able to deal with.
Therefore, in the battle at Yanshan Pass, Bai Qiuran defeated most of the enemy’s forces in one fell swoop. Except for the White Fox King, he wounded all the combat power on the opposite side, and then allowed the White Bear King to capture him into the immortal painting.
Because he knew that even if he accepted him, under such circumstances, the West Demon still had five intact Demon King-level fighting powers including Su Xiangxue. Even if the White Bear King had to risk his life, he must defeat the four demon kings at all cost.
So after he came out, he asked Su Xiangxue to retreat, and after the Four Demon Kings were knocked out by the White Bear King, she would take over the headless Western Demon Realm army.
The next was simple, Bai Qiuran pretends to be exhausted, and uses his acting skills to fish out the remaining map fragments, while Su Xiangxue deliberately directed indiscriminately, using the White Fox King and the remaining enemy forces to drain up Western Demon troops.
The three major powers of the Demon Realm were all severely injured, and Su Xiangxue became the new Demon Emperor rightly, clearly arranged the situation in the Demon Realm, and then abdicated, so that the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands could relax for at least two thousand years.
Not to mention how the discerning people in the demon clan cursed Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue afterward. Anyway, after Bai Qiuran told the four demon kings the result of the incident, the expressions of the four demon kings became very exciting.
The expression was like seeing the whole family exploding spirally into the sky.
“Early tomorrow morning, our entire army will march towards the imperial capital.”
Bai Qiuran said very calmly:
“Xiangxue will ascend the throne there. At that time, all the Demon Kings must be there.”
The four demon kings looked at each other, the White Crocodile King with the strongest temper wanted to attack right on the spot, but was held back by the quick-eyed Eagle King.
The birdman whispered a few words to the ear of the White Crocodile King, and then together with Flower King, they pulled him aside.
The Black Snake King faced Bai Qiuran’s direction and bowed down.
“This little king respectfully wishes Her Majesty Xiangxue, to suppress the rebellion, and to conquer my demon world. Long live the Empress!”
“Why do you bow to me?”
Bai Qiuran staggered slightly and said:
“The one you should bow to is outside now.”
“This little king just heard the good news and was overjoyed for a while.”
The Black Snake King smirked, his face full of flattery.
“You sure can turn your face very fast.”
Bai Qiuran glanced at them and walked out of the cell.
“Don’t stay here, go out first.”
After seeing him go out, the other three Demon Kings hurriedly came to the Black Snake King, and the White Crocodile King asked angrily:
“Black Snake King, are you willing to hand over the fruits of victory so easily?! How many brothers died for that position?!”
“White Crocodile King, do you know how I got from an illegitimate son of a prince to where I am now?”
The Black Snake King pointed to his face and said:
“It’s shameless. Only people who know the current affairs and be shameless live long.”
