Chapter 685 The Demon King's Army Sieges the City

Gong Xuancheng, as the person in charge of this operation by the Gong family, has already made a plan.

Before joining up with the Demon King's army, they had made thorough preparations and repeatedly confirmed with each action group to ensure that no accidents occurred.

Gong Xuancheng also repeatedly confirmed with the person in charge of capturing Xiao Qi to ensure that Xiao Qi would be hung in front of the city gate when the Demon King's army arrived in Ziyang City.

After confirming multiple times that there were no problems, and with the deadline fast approaching, Gong Xuancheng still insisted that the person in charge there report to him at every step to ensure that nothing went wrong.

This step was too important. The Gong family had informants in the Demon King's castle, so he knew all too well how important Xiao Qi was to the Demon King.

If the Demon King sees Xiao Qi hanging in front of the gates of Ziyang City like that, he will definitely do everything in his power to save her and then destroy Ziyang City. No one can stop him.

Only in this way can the Demon King and his army lead the charge, allowing Tianxu Palace to reap the benefits.

The other action groups are also progressing smoothly. The troops heading to Dumb City, Taishan City, and Tianyang City are all in place and ready to launch simultaneous attacks on these three cities at any time.

Gong Xuancheng intends to completely eliminate Zi Donglai and his forces in this battle, leaving him no chance to recover.

"My Lord Demon King, our Gong family's 300,000 elite troops have been assembled and are ready to obey your orders at any time," Gong Xuancheng said respectfully as he approached the Demon King.

The Demon King glanced at Gong Xuancheng and said calmly, "In that case, let's head to Ziyang City with all our might."

"We will obey the Demon King's orders." Gong Xuancheng gave the order, commanding the 300,000 elite troops of the Gong family to advance towards Ziyang City together with the 100,000 Demon King's troops.

Although the Demon King's Castle only sent 100,000 Demon King soldiers, the combat power of the human army is inferior to that of the Demon King's army, even with the same number of soldiers. The 300,000 elite troops of the Miya family may not be able to defeat the 100,000 Demon King soldiers.

Of course, this is only a calculation of hard power. In fact, war is not entirely about hard power. Gong Xuancheng did not believe that under his command, the 300,000 elite troops of Tianxu Palace would be inferior to the 100,000 troops of the Demon King's army.

However, Demon King City is not an enemy of the Gong family, and he will not fight the Demon King Army head-on. If the Demon King Army and Ziyang City are both severely damaged, he would not mind swallowing both sides directly.

If it's impossible to win on both sides, the primary objective should be to destroy Ziyang City.

When the Gong family troops, now dressed in Demon King's uniforms, headed towards Ziyang City alongside the Demon King's army, the city's forces seemed completely unaware and unprepared.

Gong Xuancheng was not surprised, because Ziyang City was short-handed. There were hardly any people from Ziyang City on the coastal plains; it was mostly an empty city with very poor control.

They came from the sea, bypassing Taishan City and Yaba City. Unless Ziyang City received advance warning, they would not have been able to discover this force.

Throughout the journey, Gong Xuancheng followed the Demon King's commands with utmost respect, as if everything truly revolved around the Demon King.

As they drew closer to Ziyang City, Gong Xuancheng was already calculating how the Demon King would react when he saw Xiao Qi hanging in front of the city gate.

"It's a pity that the Demon King never shows his true face. I heard that only Xiao Qi and the Four Demon Generals know his true face and can't see his expression. It's really a shame." Gong Xuancheng had some expectations in his heart, but he could only suppress his temper and wait to see the result.

Ziyang City was getting closer and closer. The outposts outside, having already seen the Demon King's army, had long since fled at the mere sight of them. By the time Ziyang City received the news, it was too late. The armies rushing towards Ziyang City from different directions had already blocked all escape routes.

Even if Ziyang City were to flee with the core floating island right now, it would be too late.

Gong Xuancheng was extremely excited, but his face remained calm. As he looked at Ziyang City gradually coming into view, he felt his blood was about to boil.

"Demon King, Demon King, unleash your slaughter! Let me see just how powerful you are." A glint flashed in Gong Xuancheng's eyes.

However, as Ziyang City became clearer, Gong Xuancheng's gaze gradually became somewhat strange, because he did not see Xiao Qi hanging there in front of the gate of Ziyang City.

"What's going on?" Gong Xuancheng felt a little uneasy.

He had contacted the task force that was supposed to catch Xiao Qi not long ago, and they said they had already taken action. So why hadn't he been able to see Xiao Qi?

"Was it discovered by Ziyang City beforehand? That doesn't matter. As long as the murdered Xiao Qi is in Ziyang City, we can continue this plan." Gong Xuancheng had a well-thought-out plan. If those people were captured by Ziyang City, they wouldn't have a chance to expose the Gong family.

Despite some changes, Gong Xuancheng still believed that everything was still under his control.

"Who goes there? Why are you attacking my Ziyang City?" Chen Guan asked, standing on the city gate tower and looking at the 100,000-strong demon army that was attacking head-on.

"Zi Donglai, you have killed countless of my demon brothers and seized the coastal plains that originally belonged to us demons. Today, the Demon King has come to seek justice for us. If you don't want to die, get down from the city wall and kowtow to apologize. The Demon King might spare your life then," Mo Qingtian roared at the people on the city wall.

"Who do you think you are? It's the leader of the Nine Demons who gave me the Floating Island. You gave me this island willingly, and you also gave me the demons to kill. I was thinking of thanking you, so how could you wrong me like this?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"You..." Mo Qingtian was furious. He turned to the Demon King and pleaded, "Demon King, please order an attack on the city. I will kill Zi Donglai."

He was just saying that; now there are 400,000 people besieging Ziyang City, and countless demons and experts from the Gong family have come. He has plenty of opportunities to slack off.

The Demon King looked at Gong Xuancheng, who was dressed in the Demon King's Castle general's uniform. Gong Xuancheng nodded and said, "The other three forces are in position and can launch an attack at any time."

Because Xiao Qi was no longer there, Gong Xuancheng was worried that the Demon King would order the Gong family troops, who were surrounding Ziyang City from other directions, to attack the city first.

Just as he was pondering how to offer his advice, he heard Zi Donglai on the city gate speak again.

"Demon King, haven't we met somewhere before?" Chen Guan asked from the city gate tower, sizing up the Great Demon King sitting on the back of a magical beast.

His outfit looked very familiar, yet it was somewhat different from the person Chen Guan remembered.

"It shouldn't be that person, right? So much time has passed, that person should be completely unconscious by now and unable to be seen by anyone. There should be no exceptions for those who use the Undying Ghost." Chen Guan thought to himself.
