Wu Shattered Star River

“Withdraw?”

The entire place was stunned. They had just won a great victory with much difficulty. Shouldn't they press on and expand their gains?

Moreover, they had painstakingly reclaimed a large area of territory. Were they now going to hand it over to the demons?

It wasn't just Jiang Han and the others; even a group of Earth Immortals were very puzzled. Ma Qianjun cupped his hands and said, “Lord Jinglong, the morale of this demon army has already been defeated by us. With Jiang Han here, we are confident that we can scatter, or even annihilate, this demon army all the way.”

“Execute the military order!”

Xuan Yuan Jinglong waved his hand and said, “The specific reasons will be explained to you later. Withdraw first, and the army will retreat from Ji Province.”

“Understood!”

Ma Qianjun didn't dare to ask any more questions. Xuan Yuan Jinglong had already issued a military order, and any further nonsense would be challenging the authority of the three Divine Arrivals.

Ma Qianjun began to arrange for the Void Breaking Realm experts to lead the teams, having the army clean up the battlefield as they retreated, while all the Earth Immortals and Jiang Han and the others brought up the rear, slowly withdrawing.

Xuan Yuan Jinglong and the others didn't leave, but instead retreated with Jiang Han and the others.

Seeing the confusion and frustration in everyone's eyes, Xuan Yuan Jinglong smiled and said, “Don't worry, the main army is withdrawing, but you won't be. A great battle is about to erupt, and you will all need to contribute.”

“Oh?”

The group was immediately invigorated. Were they finally going to counterattack?

Had Fang Tian Leng and the others completed their preparations and were about to close the net?

… …

Wanghai City, the demons' main base, had remained stationary. Mo Ji and a group of demon Divine Arrivals were stationed here.

Although far from the front lines, news of the various demon armies' situations could be transmitted here in real-time, with great speed and efficiency.

Among the demons, there was a race called the Twinborn. In their childhood, they were no different from ordinary demons. But after adulthood, they would split into two.

Not only their physical bodies, but their souls would also split into two. What was amazing was that the souls of the two bodies were interconnected.

When they fought, because their souls were interconnected, their coordination was extremely smooth, and their combat power was very ferocious.

However, the Twinborn's greatest use was for transmitting messages.

Because their souls were interconnected, any event on the front lines could be reported here in real-time, much faster than sending messages through other means.

Early in the morning, inside a seaside pavilion in Wanghai City, Mo Ji and a group of Divine Arrivals stood, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and watching the red sun slowly rise from the eastern sea.

The scenery was beautiful, but the atmosphere inside the pavilion was somewhat somber.

The news of the Southern Route Army's crushing defeat had been transmitted back last night. Not only the military situation, but even images of Jiang Han leading experts in a bloody battle had been sent back.

A crushing defeat!

This was the demons' first major defeat. After receiving the news, Mo Ji had remained silent, which was why the atmosphere inside the pavilion was so oppressive.

“Mo Ji, what are you thinking about?”

A Divine Arrival from the Holy Demon Race couldn't help but speak, saying, “It's just a small Jiang Han. At worst, we can send out a few Demon Ancestors to fight him and kill him. Why think so much?”

“That's right!”

Another demon Divine Arrival nodded and said, “In fact, even if we don't send out Demon Ancestors, we have experts who are skilled in spatial arts. Sending a few to suppress Jiang Han wouldn't be a problem. There's no need to worry so much.”

“Do you think I'm worried about Jiang Han?”

Mo Ji turned around, his cold eyes sweeping across the entire room, and said, “A small Jiang Han is not worth worrying about. What I'm worried about is what kind of scheme the humans are plotting? And why the demons and barbarians haven't moved yet.”

“A scheme?”

A group of demon experts were stunned. The Holy Demon Race's Divine Arrival asked, “What kind of scheme can they plot? Can they even set up a shocking divine array to cover the entire Ji Province?”

“That's right!”

A Witch Demon Race expert said, “Human divine arrays are terrifying, but at most they can cover a city. Other than that, they can only use their foundations.”

“Or the experts from the three immortal-level powers can come out in full force to sneak attack Wanghai City and kill us, but it's impossible for them to approach Wanghai City silently!”

“I can't figure it out either, that's why I've been thinking about it all night!”

Mo Ji shook his head slightly and said, “I always feel like something is wrong. Have the various armies sent back any news? Is there anything unusual?”

“Apart from the Southern Route Army, the other routes have no abnormalities!”

The Witch Demon Race expert replied. Mo Ji thought for a moment and said, “Let the Southern Route Army retreat and rest for now. Also, transfer a few demon immortals who understand spatial daos over there. Send a message to the commanders of the other routes to be careful and report any abnormalities in time.”

“Okay!”

The Witch Demon Race expert went down to make arrangements. Mo Ji continued to stand on the pavilion and look at the sea, lost in thought.

Time passed quickly. Soon, the day was over, and as night fell, a Twinborn expert flashed in.

He reported, “Lord Mo, the Southern Army reports that human experts have launched a surprise attack. Jiang Han has led more than forty human experts into the army, and our race has suffered heavy casualties.”

“Hmm?”

Mo Ji frowned and asked, “Only forty or so experts? The human army didn't follow?”

“Yes!”

The Twinborn expert replied, “There are only dozens of experts, and no human army has been seen within tens of thousands of miles.”

“How bold!”

The Holy Demon Race Divine Arrival was furious and said, “Mo Ji, shall I take a few Demon Ancestors over there and kill them all?”

“Don't act rashly!”

Mo Ji shook his head and said, “We are only here to guard the fort, not to start a war. Ordinary demons can die, even if two million demon soldiers are killed.”

“We must not have an accident, otherwise the demons will definitely invade our Heavenly Demon Continent.”

“Before the demons and barbarians enter the arena, none of us can move. This is the order personally issued by the three great clan kings, have you forgotten?”

The Holy Demon Race Divine Arrival said very aggrievedly, “Then we just watch Jiang Han slaughter our people?”

“Pass down the order!”

Mo Ji shouted in a deep voice, “Transfer Yu Fei Hua, You Lu and Mo Qu over there. The three of them have sacred artifacts. Especially Yu Fei Hua has the Tears of Eternity, which should be able to contend with Jiang Han, let her find a chance to kill Jiang Han.”

“Yes!”

The Twinborn expert immediately went down to make arrangements. Mo Ji thought about it and was not at ease, and said to the Divine Arrival of the Holy Demon Race: "Yu Ting, you take two Demon Ancestors to watch over there, I am afraid that the Human Race's Divine Arrival will attack Yu Fei Hua and the others."

“You guys remember, if the Human Race's Divine Arrival doesn't make a move, you must not take action, otherwise I will report to the three great clan kings and severely punish you!”

“Alright!”

The Holy Demon Race Divine Arrival Yu Ting nodded, and greeted two Divine Arrival-level experts and flew away. Their speed was very fast, and they disappeared in a flash.

Mo Ji was silent again, continuing to look at the endless night on the coast.

The dim candlelight in the pavilion flickered, illuminating the faces of Mo Ji and other demon experts intermittently, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became particularly strange.

Soon, the night passed.

At dawn, the Twinborn expert came in again, his face becoming a little dignified, he reported: "Lord Mo, something has happened! Last night, in addition to the Southern Route Army, faint purple mists appeared near the other armies."

“At first, the commanders of the various routes didn't care, but later they realized that there was a problem with these purple mists.”

“Many of our people are now starting to go berserk, becoming bloodthirsty, irritable and manic, and some have lost their minds and started killing each other!”

“What?”

A group of demon Divine Arrivals in the pavilion all stood up, their eyes full of horror.

Mo Ji's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I guessed correctly, the Human Race really has arrangements… Purple mist, is it the underworld mist created by the old undead? Hmph!"
