Chapter 398: A Strange Withdrawal
In front of the elk demon, there was a teenager who vomited because of extreme fear, and beside the boy, there were three teenagers of about the same age, and there was a blade on the ground.
Just now, this half-human, half-demon came to the four of them, threw down a knife, and told them that only one of the four people could live, and after the four of them were stunned for a moment, he reacted the fastest, grabbed the knife, and killed the other three.
"Strategist, how many more people have you arranged?"
After a while, the purple-eyed demon king flew over and said to the elk demon quite unhappily that there was a price for him to cast the enslavement spell, and he couldn't do it at will.
"King, this is the last one, this one is a mortal, but I have tested it with the spirit stone of the Terran monk, this person's qualifications are very good, and he will soon become very powerful."
"Oh yes, that's going to have to be cultivated."
A purple light shot out from the purple-eyed demon king's eyes, and the vomiting boy immediately became confused, and soon, he returned to normal.
"Okay, let's do it."
The Purple-Eyed Demon King quickly cast a enslavement spell, and enslaving mortals couldn't be easier for him, so it ended very quickly.
"Yes, my lord, you go and rest, I'll come next."
The elk demon replied, and then he threatened the young man, telling him that he had used the talisman to film him killing and swearing allegiance, and that if he gave the talisman to the human monk, he would definitely pay for the lives of the three men.
He had already said this kind of thing dozens of times, and this young man was really extremely frightened, even more unbearable than those monks, and he swore again and again that he would never dare to betray the purple-eyed demon king.
After briefly explaining what he was going to do in the future, the elk demon threw him into a deep cave and told him to come out in three days, when the army of demon beasts was already gone, and the boy happened to disguise himself as if he had escaped.
The elk demon has a very high IQ and knows how to arrange it strictly, and the dozens of human traitors he planted this time have never seen each other, there are monks and mortals, there are sect disciples and scattered cultivators, and how they escape from the control of the demon beast army is also divided into various methods to avoid being wiped out.
··········
"Master, there is an abnormal movement in the demon beast army, and it has begun to migrate to the south."
Lin Xiao was approving some documents, Ye Nanyu suddenly broke in and said, when Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately put down the matter at hand and flew out of Ningcui Mountain with Ye Nanyu.
"Leaving overnight, why is this purple-eyed demon king so anxious?"
"I don't know, this is also what the disciple just discovered, the demon beast army has already sent a forward to open the way, the master, do you want to send people to intercept it?"
"It can't be stopped, the demon beast is leaving, who can stop it, it's just that things are weirder, what is the purple-eyed demon king doing"
"I don't know, the purple-eyed demon king is deep in the core of the demon beast army, and the demonic aura over there is too strong, and the eye technique can't be seen"
"After dawn, let Condensation and Bai Zichen attack tentatively, and the monks who are still guarding in various Lingshan towns will be dispatched again, so that the dragon horse cavalry will be ready, and tomorrow will start to drive away the demon beasts, and they will not be allowed to escape smoothly."
"Master, will this be a trap, this time the intelligent demon beasts under the purple-eyed demon king are a little more powerful"
"Don't be afraid, even if it's a trap, we can win, now we are on par with them in overall strength, and the high-end combat power is even superior, what are you afraid of, of course, in order to prevent the purple-eyed demon king from suddenly attacking, let Bai Zichen and Condensation converge with them to prevent being killed by him"
Lin Xiao nodded, there are not many fifth-order demon kings under the purple-eyed demon king at present, compared to the spiritual light cultivators on the side of the martial country, Lin Xiao is also afraid that the purple-eyed demon king will leave him to find trouble with the rest of the people, Bai Zichen and they really can't stop it.
"I understand, I'll make people stare at the Purple-Eyed Demon King"
"Okay, let's go back and let Li Wenxin start mobilizing, I'm afraid we're going to start moving."
Lin Xiao nodded, when he was stationed at night, he was not afraid of the purple-eyed demon king coming to attack, with the protection of the mountain protection array, although he couldn't stop it, but he could delay it for a moment or two, as long as there was a warning, Lin Xiao would be dispatched, a total of five or six hundred miles away, with Lin Xiao's speed, it would be there in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Zichen and Condensation and Yun Shaoyang began to attack the demon beasts again, this time the demon beasts were defeated more completely, or they didn't resist much at all, after dropping a small part of the cannon fodder, the main force quickly moved south, and soon arrived at the periphery of Ningcui Mountain, and the demon beasts here in Ningcui Mountain had diverted to the south.
Ning Cui Mountain's side can't be idle, Lin Xiao led the army to attack, constantly defeating the demon beast army, Lin Xiao personally confronted the purple-eyed demon king.
"Human, you are very powerful, but don't rejoice too early, one day, this king will eat you"
"Purple eyes, you're not bad, but I'm more interested in wearing your coat made of fur, your purple eyes should be able to refine a very powerful magic weapon, I have to think about it, how to refine it when the time comes"
"Wait and see, when this king breaks through, it will be your death"
"Then I'll have to wait and see how quickly you can break through."
"Without that thing, this king would be able to eat you right now"
"But I just have this thing, what should I do?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the Zhuxian Arrow on his head, this thing really saved him several times, if it weren't for this Zhuxian Arrow, the Martial Kingdom might have been wiped out by the Purple-Eyed Demon King, this guy is really powerful.
And as far as Lin Xiao knows, it has only been five or six hundred years since this purple-eyed demon king broke through the sixth order, and it is estimated that he has not yet reached the middle grade of the sixth order, if he breaks through to the sixth order, it may not be worse than the dragon lion king, they are all the bloodlines of ancient beasts, not ordinary.
In order to deploy and not be wantonly killed, the purple-eyed demon king has the habit of personally cutting off, but no matter how strong he is, he is weak, and with Lin Xiao to contain them, they are still fruitful in condensation, and after a day of pursuit, at least 100,000 demon beasts have been killed.
In the evening, Lin Xiao began to arrange the post-war reconstruction, it was impossible for the demon beast army to come back, and they didn't have the ability to kill a horse pistol, so the north of Ningcui Mountain was safe, and they could guide mortals down the mountain, let them rebuild the villages and towns, and replant the barren farmland with crops.
And the monks also have to run the spiritual mountain, build the buildings on the mountain, restore the spiritual field, set up formations, replant spiritual rice, etc., there are a lot of things, and they must be carried out as soon as possible to reduce losses.
"Master, the night owl returns, the Dragon Lion King and the Triangle Demon King are also retreating, the Triangle Demon King is the fastest, he has returned to the buffer zone, and he can return to the wild area tomorrow"
"The three demon kings are in unison, which is not a good thing, it shows that the connection between them is very close, and it is extraordinary"
"Master, do you think the other two demon kings will come together to deal with us?"
"Don't think too much, we're not qualified yet"
"Master, what if you don't know?"
"There is no case in this matter, the three major demon kings are in unison, it is a big deal, if they really join forces to attack the martial country, then it can only be said that it was ordered by Yu Jiaolong, but what does it a seventh-order demon king do to deal with us, and his brain is in water?"
"Okay, boss, so what do we do now?"
"Hunt down the demon beasts, now the demon beast army should still have one hundred and twenty or three hundred thousand, as I said at the beginning, let it run a million at most, and the rest have to be left for me"
Lin Xiao replied, the matter of the three demon kings is not his turn to deal with it now, there are definitely high-level people in the immortal cultivation world who will pay attention, and what he has to do now is to greatly weaken the strength of the purple-eyed demon king.
After dawn, the monks and demon beasts after the rest once again had a chase battle, the demon beasts ran, and the human race chased, but Lin Xiao had already instructed that the descendants of the purple-eyed demon king would be merciful, don't kill, at this time, you can't force the purple-eyed demon king to go crazy.
Three days later, the purple-eyed demon king led the crowd to retreat into the wilderness, and the demon beast army under his command never exceeded one million, at the same time, the demon beast army of Cangguo, Qianluo country, Weiguo and other countries also retreated to the wilderness, and the beast tide launched by the Canglong Lion King and the Triangle Crane Demon King also slowly subsided, and the countries at the southwest end of Nanzhou began to enter the stage of recuperation.
However, Lin Xiao and the others are even more busy, thousands of miles south of Ningcui Mountain, there are many demon beasts that have been killed, and they all have to move back, and they have to leave enough people to monitor the wilderness, all kinds of post-war pensions, rewards, etc., and there are countless things.
"Boss..."
"Ye Nanyu, you're here again, what's the matter, are you so idle?"
"Uh, I..."
Ye Nanyu was a little confused, he was indeed very idle, and the night owl didn't invest much in this big battle, of course, there wasn't much to do.
"Say, what's the matter, don't bother me if it's not a big deal, don't you know that I'm busy to death now"
"It's really a bit strange, boss, I just learned that Bai Zichen saved a few of our disciples, those disciples disappeared when they were in Xiaoyangshan, but they appeared in the back of the demon beast army, and when Bai Zichen raided, he found them"
"The captive of the demon beast, what's the strange, tell me"
"Boss, the demons are not separated, if the human race is defeated by the demon beast, it is generally reduced to the food of the demon beast, even if it is caught, then it should follow the core of the purple-eyed demon king to leave, how can it follow behind"
"Do you suspect that this was deliberately put back by the demon beast?"
"That's right"
"Is there a list?"
"Yes"
Lin Xiao quickly called up the information of those people from the system, and sure enough, their loyalty has dropped a lot, and there is also a trajectory of violent fluctuations, once falling by more than thirty a day, and slowly recovering most of it.
"You don't spread this list, don't publicize it within the sect, but let the people of the night owl stare at them, there are a lot of scum among our monks, there is no shortage of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who sell their masters for glory, this purple-eyed demon king, I think his style has a lot of traces of our human race.
And I heard that the demon king on the side of Luo Xinghai has no difference in life and life from the human race, even palaces and the like, every year there are monks who go out to the sea to be captured by demon beasts and given to them as thugs, we in Nanzhou should be vigilant against this kind of thing, you check it secretly, see if there are many monks who have separated from the demon beasts, one is counted as one, all secretly monitored"
Lin Xiao replied, this matter is really not a trivial matter, if there is a traitor in the human race, it is a very serious matter.
