Chapter 145: The Military Situation is Critical
Now that things are gradually becoming clearer, it seems that if you want to know more about the situation, you must go to Lingshan to investigate, Yinyue said meaningfully that although the ten witches of Lingshan are mortal demons in the demon world, they have witchcraft that can keep pace with the twelve ancestral demons, and their status in the demon world is extremely lofty, and it stands to reason that they will never betray the demon emperor and surrender to the demon emperor and be willing to become a minion.
But the problem now is that Lingshan is the only way to enter the west pole of the demon world, but the terrain of Lingshan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now the situation is unclear, and it is impossible to send troops to attack, but Lingshan is surrounded by witchcraft barriers, and the general demon clan cannot approach at all, and only the witch people of Wuxian Country can enter Lingshan.
"The head of the Ten Witches of Lingshan is Wu Xian, he is the lord of Wu Xian, I fought side by side with him in the final battle of the gods and demons against the Demon Emperor's army, although he finally defeated the Demon Emperor, but it was only a tragic victory, in that battle, if he hadn't saved my life, I was afraid that I would have died in battle, I and Wu Xian were friends of life and death, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a rebel." Yinyue was silent for a moment, and said solemnly. "It's really not good, I want to go to Lingshan alone to meet Wu Xian, maybe there is something else we don't know yet."
"Ancestral Demon, don't go!" Elder Ichimoku hurriedly stopped.
"Why?" Yinyue asked.
"Wu Xian's benevolence has a good reputation in the demon world, although the gods and demons are free from poison, but the demon clan sent to support the Hades Emperor has also suffered countless casualties, after pacifying the war, because the ten witches of Lingshan are proficient in medical skills, Wu Xian has worked tirelessly to go to various clans for treatment, and I am deeply grateful to the demon clan." Elder Giant said to Yinyue seriously. "The reason why the Ten Witches of Lingshan sent those nine gold and bronze pieces for the Yimu Demon Clan to help cast the Jiuding, and the Yimu Kingdom did not shirk and agreed to it was because of Wu Xian's kindness."
"Since the elder also knows that Wu Xian is not a traitor, not to mention that he has experienced the catastrophe of gods and demons and knows how many demon clans have been sacrificed in exchange for peace, Wu Xian's house is benevolent and will not be embarrassed by the Demon Emperor." Silver Moon looked at the Giant Elder in confusion and asked. "Then why didn't you let me see him?"
"Because Wu Xian is no longer the head of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and the current lord of Wu Xian is no longer Wu Xian."
"Wu Xian is not the lord of the country?" Yinyue asked suspiciously. "Then who rules Lingshan now?"
"The witch of one of the ten witches of Lingshan." Elder Giant replied.
Yinyue said that Wu Gu was the only witch among the Ten Witches of Lingshan, but because the Ten Witches of Lingshan never had dealings with any demon clan, except for Wu Xian, the other nine witches and Yinyue didn't know much.
"Wu Xiande is highly respected as the lord of the country and the head of the ten witches, why did Wu Gu become the lord of the country?" Yinyue asked in shock.
The giant elder shook his head and told us regretfully that Lingshan is very far away from the country of Yimoku, not to mention that the Yimu demon clan never interacts with other demon clans, and after the demon emperor left, the demon world is slowly chaotic, and the Yimu demon clan has been guarding against the city gate, and the news heard is also very sporadic, as for what happened to Lingshan, it is not known.
It's just a rough idea that the Ten Witches of Lingshan suddenly joined forces to control the country lord Wuxian overnight, and imprisoned him in an unknown place in Lingshan.
"Since the whereabouts of the golden people cannot be traced in the country of Ichimoku, and the demon world is now in chaos, it seems that the only way is to let the demon emperor come into the world, otherwise the consequences of the twelve golden people falling into the hands of the demon emperor will be unimaginable." Yinyue stood up and said to me. "Without further ado, we must rush back to Qingqiu Country immediately."
The Qingqiu Fox Demon Clan has a strong demon power and a large number, presumably after exterminating the corpse of Haobi, the black water army of Tubo will not dare to offend for a while, and now the situation in various parts of the demon world is unknown, but at least the Qingqiu country can hold the east of the demon world from being violated, so the Qingqiu country has become very important, just to prevent the demon emperor from encroaching on the east of the demon world.
There is not much left of the Ichimoku Demon Clan, the only remaining giants shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the glory of this Demon Clan, after the destruction of the Ichimoku Country, this place is not far from the seclusion of Tubo, and it may be raided at any time, even if hiding in this cave is not a long-term strategy, Yinyue asked the Giant Elder to lead the remaining giants to return to Qingqiu Country with us, these giants have mastered the exquisite forging skills of the demon world, and it is likely that there will be a time when they will play a role in the future.
The Giant Elder also agreed to Silver Moon's request, and that night we took advantage of the moonlight to quietly return to the Qingqiu Kingdom with the Giant, and Silver Moon and I were on full alert along the way, until we entered the pass protected by the Qingqiu Kingdom in the east, and we breathed a sigh of relief.
Returning to Qingqiu Country, Yinyue ordered someone to settle the giant, and as soon as he returned to the palace, he saw Shuangruo hurriedly come in with a person covered in bruises, and he knew that it was a demon fox when he saw Yinyue, and when he saw Yinyue, he immediately endured the pain and worshipped.
Seeing that the demon fox was seriously injured, Yinyue hurriedly helped him up, and asked Shuangruo why this monster was so badly injured, and Shuangruo replied with a stern face.
"After the lord of the country left the demon world, I noticed that the demon qi in the demon world was getting more and more ruo, and I was worried that there would be changes in the rain master country, so I sent the demon fox to investigate, who knew that the demon fox sent out had no news, the lord of the country is now returning and exterminating the corpse of luxury, the demon fox army is on guard in the west of Qingqiu country, and the day before yesterday the army reported that there was a demon fox coming back from Lingshan, but he was dying and scarred, and he was immediately sent back to Qingqiu country, and I saw that it was the demon fox sent out to investigate."
"Who hurt you like this?" Yinyue's voice was resentful but concerning.
The demon fox hurriedly reported everything he had found to Yinyue, the demon fox was originally ordered to go to the rain division country to investigate the cause of the weakening of the demon qi, and when he passed through the Lingshan Mountain, he transformed into a wizard and infiltrated, and the demon emperor was surprised by what he saw and heard in the witch country of the Lingshan, and the entire area west of the demon world was filled with a very heavy gloomy atmosphere.
"During the God and Demon Catastrophe, I followed the Lord of the Kingdom to fight a decisive battle with the Demon Emperor army, and that gloomy aura was the source of the Demon Army's survival and strength, and now it is completely shrouded in all places west of the Demon Realm." The demon fox endured the pain and panted. "At that time, I was panicked, I never expected that the Demon Emperor who had been sealed would quietly occupy the west pole of the demon world."
"The Western Pole is full of gloomy air?!" Yinyue was dumbfounded, took a deep breath, and asked nervously. "What else have you found out in Lingshan?"
"The Demon Emperor guards the Ten Witches of Lingshan and surrenders to the Demon Emperor, but the lord of the country, Wu Xian, is not in the same stream, but is controlled by the Ten Witches and locked at the bottom of the black abyss of Lingshan, which is an extremely deep cave in the city of Lingshan Witch Country, and it seems that for the wizards of the Witch Country, that place is particularly important and extremely well guarded." The demon fox said to us with a calm face. "I tried to get close to probe and rescue Wuxian, but I didn't have a chance to get close."
"You said that place, I know, that is the place where the Lingshan wizard used to sacrifice, the Lingshan Demon Clan has been using blood sacrifice until now, presumably there must be something in the black abyss, so that the Lingshan Demon Clan will sacrifice." Yinyue said thoughtfully. "That place is the forbidden place of the Lingshan Demon Clan, even the Ten Witches of Lingshan can't get close, it stands to reason that Wu Xian's witchcraft is the most powerful among the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and the other Ten Witches may not be Wu Xian's opponent when they join forces, they should take advantage of their unpreparedness to sneak attack, but if you want to control Wu Xian for a long time, it should be difficult to do it with the witchcraft of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, is there anything in the black abyss that can restrain Wu Xian, so it will be locked at the bottom of the black abyss?"
"Because I can't get close to the abyss, and I don't know what the specifics are." The demon fox replied with his head buried in his head.
"It's the forbidden land of the Lingshan Country, and even the Ten Witches of the Lingshan are not allowed to get close, of course you can't enter." Yinyue said to the demon fox with relief, and hurriedly continued to ask. "What else did you find in Lingshan?"
"Lingshan is shrouded in obscure atmosphere, the vast majority of the demon clans in the west pole of the demon world have surrendered to the ten witches of Lingshan, under the convening of the ten witches of Lingshan, an army is being formed to conquer the demon world, and under the supervision of the ten witches of Lingshan, weapons and armor are constantly being built all day long, and the number of demon clans who are in the same stream is amazing, and they are ready to attack If you are not wrong, the first thing to be captured is Qingqiu country." The demon fox said to Yinyue with an anxious expression. "Qingqiu Country is the throat of the east pole of the Demon Realm, once the army of the Ten Witches of the Lingshan Mountain of the Qingqiu Country is captured, it can drive straight into all the places east of the Demon Realm, fortunately, the Lord of the Kingdom came back in time to gather the demon fox, but if you want to stop the army of the Ten Witches of the Spirit Mountain, our demon fox clan alone is definitely not enough."
"How many armies are there in the Ten Witches of Lingshan?" Frost asked beside her.
"It's hard to count, I know that there is the Black Water Army led by Tubo, the lord of the Youdu Country, as well as more than a dozen demon clans in the west of the demon world such as the Immortal Country and the Three-Body Country, and there are countless beast demons who have surrendered." The demon fox replied with palpitations. "There are also demon clans who refuse to surrender, such as the Female Clown Country and the Yushi Country, but the end is extremely miserable, the citizens of the Female Ugly Country are used to sacrifice the black abyss with blood every day, and after I was captured, I saw too many imprisoned demon clans in the Lingshan dungeon."
"You can see the golden man in Lingshan?" I asked seriously.
"Golden Man?" The demon fox thought for a moment and shook his head and replied. "When I was investigating in Lingshan, I overheard the Jin people mentioned in a conversation between the Ten Witches of Lingshan, but I didn't understand it intermittently, it seems that I was indeed looking for some Jin people, but it seems to be related to Wu Xian, but I haven't seen a Jin person in Lingshan."
This is finally good news, it seems that what we feared most has not happened, the Ten Witches of Lingshan have not obtained the remaining twelve Golden Men so far, so at least we have a chance to find the Golden People before the Ten Witches of Lingshan.
"Even if the Ten Witches of Lingshan are the demonic power granted by the Demon Emperor forever, they are mortal demons after all, and there are no powerful spirits and demons in the west of the Demon Realm who can restrain the Ten Witches of Lingshan?" I was still puzzled to ask.
"It's useless, since the Rain Division Country has been attacked, the entire demon world is in danger, even if there are spirit demons whose demon power is stronger than the ten witches of Lingshan, it is difficult to do anything." Yinyue sighed heavily and said worriedly.
