What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

This short sentence was like a world-ending meteorite, crashing down on everyone's ears.

"Lord Li... Lord Li?"

Captain Xu Feng of the Heavenly Dragon Guard opened his mouth wide, his pupils trembling violently.

He suddenly loosened his grip on the greatsword, and with a clang, the weapon that had accompanied him in slaying countless alien races crashed heavily into the muddy water, splashing up a cloud of filthy water.

In mid-air, Xu Tianlin took a small sip of his milk tea and raised his eyebrows slightly. He lowered his head.

His gaze swept over the lifeless human warriors below, then looked at Aro, whose face was full of sinister intent, and he muttered something under his breath.

Wow, what a huge melon!

"You should have brought some sunflower seeds."

"I had a feeling that something was off about Li Junshan before, because he actually refused my business."

Xu Tianlin sat down behind him, and the Great Dao transformed into a chair, steadily supporting his body.

Then, a pair of eyes, sparkling with the anticipation of someone watching a spectacle, were cast down.

After a brief silence, the location of the Haichuan Prefecture camp exploded like a powder keg with a lit fuse!

"Bullshit!"

A burly man from Haichuan Prefecture with a scar on his face suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, the blade pointing directly at Aro in the sky.

At this moment, he no longer cared that he was pointing at a demon king, and his face turned red.

"Sowing discord?"

"So, unable to defeat our shop owner, you're resorting to tricks again?"

"Do you think we're three-year-olds who would believe the nonsense of a demon king like you!"

"Exactly! You want to throw dirty water on our Lord? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"

Another young warrior, wielding two hammers, trembled with rage and roared with eyes blazing with fury.

"Thirty-seven years ago, when the beast tide attacked the city, it was Lord Li who single-handedly carried the battle flag and stood at the very front!"

"My father died on the battlefield, and it was Lord Li who personally brought his ashes back!"

A young martial artist with red eyes shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with both sobs and defiance.

"He gave away all his cultivation resources and distributed them to us, the orphans of martyrs!"

"You dare say he's sided with the abyss? Who do you think you are!"

The roar was like a tidal wave; the warriors of Haichuan Prefecture roared madly, cursing Aro in the sky with the most vicious language.

They defended the glory of their lord with the utmost faith.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

A burly, towering figure from the Nether Sea Guard strode out of the ranks.

His armor was still covered in black mud from the recent battle.

He slammed his fist on his chest, making a muffled "bang," and roared.

"Lord Li has shown immeasurable kindness to all of us Minghai Guards and to every brother in Haichuan Prefecture!"

"He treated us like his own flesh and blood, and always shared the best things with his soldiers first!"

"He could never betray humanity!"

Hearing the overwhelming cheers from below, Aro was not annoyed at all; instead, he slowly, little by little, grinned.

It was a mocking laugh filled with endless ridicule.

"A debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain?"

"Is he very good to you?"

Aro's voice wasn't loud, but enveloped in the abyssal demonic energy, it was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, precisely burrowing into the ears of everyone present.

"That's really great."

"I was almost moved to tears by this sentiment."

Aro looked down at the Nether Sea Guard from his high vantage point, his eyes flashing with malice, and his tone suddenly turned cold and piercing.

"If I'm not mistaken, the martial artists of your Haichuan Prefecture have improved their strength very rapidly recently, haven't they?"

Upon hearing this, the deafening roar from the Haichuan Prefecture camp abruptly stopped.

Aro keenly caught the pause, and the sneer on his face instantly intensified.

"Breaking through realms is as easy as drinking water; one's cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds in a day."

"The overall combat strength of Haichuan Prefecture has been raised to a new level in a short period of time."

He spread his hands, looked at the shocked martial artists, and continued speaking.

"You bunch of idiots, why don't you use your pathetic brains and think things through..."

"In this battlefield filled with malevolent energy and lacking in resources, where did Li Junshan get so many amazing things that have boosted your strength?"

Did it fall from the sky?

All the martial artists were stunned.

The Minghai Guard, who had been so confident, suddenly stiffened, and an indescribable chill ran up his spine from the soles of his feet.

Aro gave them no chance to breathe, dropping the final, fatal bomb.

"Think back to the Moonshadow Flying Fish that your generous lord sent you a while ago..."

boom!

Moonlit Flying Fish!

These four words were like a bolt of dark lightning, instantly cleaving through the minds of all the martial artists of Haichuan Prefecture.

The body of the Underworld Guardian began to tremble violently.

The scene of distributing fish meat containing a huge amount of elemental energy in the camp a while ago uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

After eating the fish, the bottleneck that had been stagnant for many years was instantly loosened, and everyone cheered and shouted "Long live the Lord!"

but……

The Moon Shadow Flying Fish is the Demon King's bait.

It was their beloved Lord of the Manor who personally fed the Demon King's demonic seed to them...

"No...no way..."

The Netherworld Guardian's legs completely lost their strength, and he collapsed to his knees in the mud with a thud.

His hands dug into the soil so hard that his fingernails curled up and bled profusely.

"Li Junshan!!!"

A furious roar suddenly exploded in the center of the battlefield!

Standing to the side, Xiao Qiong, the Lord of Cangyun Prefecture, had his eyes completely turned a terrifying crimson.

His hair stood on end, and his bones emitted a continuous, popping sound.

"Boom!"

Behind Xiao Qiong, the void twisted violently, and three enormous illusory images of the Great Dao suddenly materialized!

The first one is a hundred-foot-long decapitation blade dripping with viscous blood, exuding a terrifying killing intent like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood—the Great Path of Slaughter!

The second path is an endless black hole, a desolate and lifeless expanse that devours all life, leaving everything withered in its wake—the Great Path of Annihilation!

The third one is a massive, dark gold shield covered in marks from swords and axes, yet it still stands tall and unyielding, exuding an aura of indestructible weight—the Great Dao of Resilience!

Under Xiao Qiong's rage that almost consumed her reason, the three originally distinct illusory paths began to rub and collide violently, and then intertwined wildly in an unbelievable way.

A series of deep rumbles erupted in the void, and a terrifying fluctuation belonging to a Dao Integration Realm expert faintly took shape on Xiao Qiong's body!

In his extreme anger, he actually touched the threshold of the Dao!

"Whoosh!"

Before the sonic boom could even be heard, Xiao Qiong's figure had vanished into thin air.

The next second, he appeared directly in front of Li Junshan.

"Bang!"

Xiao Qiong's hands were like two iron clamps, tightly gripping Li Junshan's collar, her arm muscles bulging.

"Tell me, why?!"

Xiao Qiong's face was contorted in pain as he stared intently into Li Junshan's unwavering eyes, spitting wildly onto Li Junshan's face.

Li Junshan did not resist or explain, letting Xiao Qiong grab his collar.

"Say something! Are you mute?!"

Xiao Qiong's voice began to tremble, and her eyes became bloodshot.

He shook Li Junshan violently, his shrill roar echoing across the empty wasteland.

"Have you forgotten?! Back then, on the outskirts of the battlefield, at Little Deer Ridge!"

"That year, we had just entered Wugao High School and were assigned to the same team!"

"In that battle, the entire mountainside was filled with armored beasts from another race!"

"All our comrades were killed. The entire squad was wiped out, and in the end, only the two of us were left!"

Xiao Qiong gasped for breath, the bloody and cruel scenes of the past replaying wildly in his mind.

"The claws of a powerful armored beast at the Thousand-Pound Realm are about to pierce my head!"

"It's you! Li Junshan! You reckless madman, you even abandoned your weapon and grabbed that beast's claws with your bare hands!"

Xiao Qiong ripped open Li Junshan's shirt and pointed to the old, grotesque scar that ran through his entire chest.

"This scar! It's from that day!"

"You were ripped open by claws, your intestines are all over the place!"

"As you stuffed your intestines into your stomach, you smiled at me, spitting out blood and telling me that as long as humanity had a breath left, you would never retreat a single step!"

Xiao Qiong's eye cracked open, and a tear mixed with blood rolled down her cheek.

He suddenly tightened his grip, pulling Li Junshan in front of him until their noses almost collided.

"We climbed to where we are today by stepping over the corpses of our brothers!"

"But what about now?!"

Xiao Qiong gave a sudden shove, pushing Li Junshan away forcefully.

"And now, you've actually... betrayed us?!"

"You're feeding your own soldiers with demonic seeds! You're a lackey of the Abyss!"

Xiao Qiong raised her head, looked at the sky, and let out a long, mournful howl.

"For what?!?!"

He lowered his head, staring intently at the silent Li Junshan, and spoke each word slowly and deliberately, each word dripping with emotion.

"You are already the ruler of a prefecture, you stand at the highest point in this world! What is the purpose of all this?!"
