It was Zhang Tian, the Sword King of Breeze, the former vice leader of the Ling Long Celestial Palace.
He was one of the masked men whoâd attacked the Ling Long Celestial Palace, and the only one whose identity had been exposed.
Zhang Tian had vanished from peopleâs sight for a long time after that, because he was afraid Xiao Nuo would take revenge on him. It was really surprising that heâd shown up here.
âAnd it has to be his true body.â Regardless of the angry stare from those of the celestial palace, Zhang Tian added.
âDonât you know how important Jiang Chen is?â Ye Qiu from the Demon Slayers Palace said.
âItâs exactly because I know that that Iâve proposed it.â
Zhang Tian strode over, drawing everyoneâs attention. He said in a loud voice, âJiang Chen was the first person to find out the truth about the Demon Fetus when the Realm of Nine Heavens was resisting the intrusion of the Demons. Then, during the battle, he pointed us in a specific direction and brought us here.â
He was speaking seriously, without sarcasm. If he hadnât gone on, people would even have thought heâd been paying Jiang Chen compliments.
However, that certainly wasnât possible.
Zhang Tian changed his tone. He said, âIs that really possible? A Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage is smarter than all of us? Heâs better informed than us? Even Lord Long Xing wasnât a match for him?â
âWhat are you implying?â Jiang Chen asked coldly as others were discussing what Zhang Tian had said.
âThat city is where the prisoners are kept, and itâs probably also the place where the Demon Fetus is.â
âThe prisoners from the Three Lower Realms are at most Star Venerables. If we, a group of Martial Arts Saints at the preliminary stage, go in there, we are actually better nourishment than they are,â Zhang Tian said. His words made everyone go pale. Because the thing he was implying was too dark and too startling.
âWhat you say is groundless,â Baili Zhan from the celestial palace yelled.
âIâm just making an assumption. And I want him to go inside with us. Is that too much to ask?â Zhang Tian made concessions in order to gain more advantages later. Heâd directed the spearhead at the celestial palace in a smart way.
Alas. Jiang Chen couldnât help but shake his head at the suddenly silent crowd.
They had more advantages than the Blood Race and the Demons, but since they didnât know each other well, they couldnât trust each other.
The Demon Slayers Palace was working as a coordinator for them, but it was not playing an important role.
However, they still had advantages because their advantages were great.
âI will go inside, in my true body,â Jiang Chen agreed.
âJiang Chen, you know he is going to try to kill you, donât you?â His companions couldnât understand why heâd agreed.
âIâll be able to help if I go inside.â
Jiang Chen should go inside in the first place as a Martial Arts Saint.
However, Zhang Tian had insisted that the true body should go with them. He was kind of forcing Jiang Chenâs hand.
In the big city, the General Demon didnât look anxious despite their disadvantages. No one could figure out what was on his mind.
The Shadow Yama showed up next to him and looked toward the enemyâs camp.
âThe Sovereign Spirit Project has started to work.â He swore with resentment. Otherwise, they wouldâve been able to achieve their goals easily.
âHavenât you killed that Jiang Chen yet?â The General Demon only asked him this question, ignoring his comment.
The Shadow Yama looked embarrassed. He had promised confidently that he would deal with Jiang Chen, but what had happened later was beyond his expectations.
âI calculated everything, but due to his scheme, something unpredictable arose,â the Shadow Yama said.
A disdainful smile pulled at the corners of the General Demonâs lips. For him, it was incompetent to be unable to realize oneâs promise. There was no excuse.
However, the two belonged to different camps, so he didnât bother to say anything.
Feeling the General Demonâs disdain, the Shadow Yama sneered. He suddenly burst out laughing when he was about to say something.
The General Demon looked over confusedly, asking him what had happened with a cold look.
He hoped the Shadow Yama had a good reason to burst out laughing at such a moment.
âWhile weâre bothered by how to kill Jiang Chen, our enemy is going to send Jiang Chen to us,â the Shadow Yama said excitedly.
The General Demon was smart. He realized what was going on immediately. âAre they going to advance into the city?â
This was the only plausible way, so it wasnât hard for the General Demon to guess.
âYes. Jiang Chenâs true body will come into the city too.â
âWell, then there will be a great show.â The General Demon smiled meaningfully. The most crucial moment had come.
Whether those who entered the city would eliminate the Demon Fetus and save the abductees or become nourishment for the Demon Fetus would be the key to deciding the result of this battle.
âItâs starting,â the General Demon noticed the enemy was rearranging their line-up to launch a sudden attack.
At this moment, the prisoners brought from the Realm of Nine Heavens and the Realm of True Force could be seen everywhere in the big city. There were creatures from all races, but the majority were humans.
At the center of the city, there was a barren mountain. Tragic screams came from the mountain from time to time. Somewhere, in a cage as big as a house, were kept numerous people.
An attractive mature woman was wearing a ragged war armor. Her face was pretty but quite worried.
All of a sudden, a giant hand clutched her arm and pulled her over.
âGet lost!â
The woman wouldnât even look at that person. She swung her arm to shake off his grip.
âWe are dying anyway. Why donât we have some fun before we die?â
The person speaking was a large man, who looked extremely haggard and mad at the moment.
He was sizing up the womanâs charming body with his greedy eyes.
âIf you want to give up yourself, thatâs your decision. Donât get me involved, General Black Dragon,â the woman spoke in a stern tone, gazing at the strong enemy of her dynasty.
The man was General Black Dragon from the Dragon Rebel Kingdom. Heâd once directed the battle between the Dragon Rebel Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Dynasty on the Alien Battlefield.
It was mainly because of that war that the Demons had managed to revive.
Of course, the reason that the two dynasties had a battle could be related to some scheme of the Blood Race.
âYou from the Flying Dragon Dynasty are funny. You still know nothing even when youâre dying!â
General Black Dragon had lost his prestige already. He was totally freaked out by the Demonsâ strength.
He pulled over another pretty woman who looked like a zombie and started to have sex with her in front of everyone.
The woman wearing armor looked away without speaking.
This wasnât the only pair in the cage who were releasing their stress in the face of death. Actually, men and women half-naked were everywhere. It was too obscene to watch.
That was why she was standing at the edge of the cage.
She hadnât given up hope yet, because sheâd heard the Demon soldiers discussing an invasion.
According to them, the Demon Army in the Realm of Nine Heavens had been defeated by a man called Jiang Chen.
âJiang Chen!â She recalled the past.
If Jiang Chen had been here, he would find that this was one of the few women he cared about in the Realm of True Force: his elder sister, the former battalion commander of the Flame Camp, Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan believed that Jiang Chen would absolutely come.
Outside, another big battle was occurring. Covered by the Venerable Sovereigns, Jiang Chen and the other strong people below the rank of Venerable Sovereign dashed into the city.
âThe Demons didnât try to stop us. The situation inside must be more difficult to deal with. Watch out,â Jiang Chen warned the others, since things had been too easy for them to enter.
âYouâd better watch out for yourself,â a cold voice answered with a freezing killing intent.
âAre you already on the verge of losing your temper?â
