Chapter 693: Master Has Returned Home
Gu Heng was already starting to miss the day Qin Yiyao would return home next.
But she didn't say when she would be back, and he didn't know where to look for her, so he decided to wait.
Weary birds always return to their nests.
But now, he has a new idea.
Now that he had accidentally obtained that milky white jade from the Desert Python Immortal, the so-called "Immortal Emperor's Treasure," it seemed that the "Mysterious Heaven Forbidden Zone" mission was also making great progress.
However, the first clue Gu Heng obtained was actually about the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm invaded the Xuan Tian Realm, causing the Five Realms War. Even after the Five Realms Passage was completely severed and the war ended without a clear conclusion, the Demon Realm continued to cultivate vassals loyal to the Demon Realm here...
E.g.
On the human side, there is the "Great Alliance of Evil Cultivators," and the demon race, under the leadership of the former Demon King, is also a vassal of the Demon Realm.
With such relentless scheming, the Demon Realm must have an unimaginable and enormous purpose for targeting the Xuan Tian Realm!
At the very least, the celestial realm's goals are the same as the demon realm's; neither is purely purported.
Therefore, understanding why the Demon Realm attacked the Xuantian Realm is essentially the same as understanding the reason for the Immortal Realm. In this way, the deepest secrets hidden by the Xuantian Realm can be roughly guessed.
But why the Demon Realm attacked the Xuan Tian Realm? The answer can probably only be found in the Demon Realm.
Previously, Gu Heng was troubled by his inability to go to the Demon Realm...
But now, the Demon Realm has come here on its own initiative. And it has brought a large army with it, clearly wanting to reignite that war that ended inconclusively and get to the bottom of it!
Since we're coming here, we definitely need to find a way to leave.
Gu Heng knew that there must be a way to get to the Demon Realm.
"That's all for now. If you have any more news, don't forget to let me know."
Gu Heng stood up and patted Jin Qian on the shoulder: "This might be very important to me."
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu," Jin Qian assured him.
"Well, thank you very much."
……
The border between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.
A heavily fortified stronghold, filled with arrays, with armies both in the sky and on the ground, where cultivators are gathering and waiting, sits.
This is Tianfeng Fortress, the most proud stronghold of the Central Plains Dynasty.
At a time when the Western Regions are now teeming with demonic soldiers and cultivators, Qin Yiyao, who has only recently ascended the throne, decisively ordered the mobilization of the elite forces of the entire Central Continent Dynasty there.
Furthermore, on the Empress's orders, she summoned the vast majority of the powerful clans and families within the dynasty who were loyal to her.
Although she has only been on the throne for a short time, Qin Yiyao is now a Celestial, and her influence and power are far greater than those of the unfortunate Xuanyuan clan.
Moreover, she also has a "Grand Steward" of unknown origin, whose strength far surpasses that of the Empress.
Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty had two Immortal-level cultivators in charge.
Now, they have all gathered at Tianfeng Fort.
At this moment, in the council hall of Tianfeng Fortress, Qin Yiyao, dressed in a black and gold palace dress and a nine-bead phoenix crown, sat high in the main seat. Below her were the war commanders, the various army commanders, and the powerful figures sent by the aristocratic families of the Central State Dynasty.
Although the Empress possessed an undeniable regal aura and an imposing presence that commanded respect, few dared to underestimate her...
It was Chief Steward Yin, who seemed naive and clueless, who served the Empress.
This chief steward was brought by the Empress. Although anyone who met him at first glance would feel that he was easy to deceive, it seemed that he was indeed so.
But the Grand Steward is stronger than the Empress!
Especially in the battles of the past two days, the Grand Steward casually waved his paintbrush on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out by the Daoist energy in the painting!
To know.
Although those demon soldiers from the Demon Realm were generally around the Integration Stage or Tribulation Stage of the Mortal Realm, they were basically modified living dead. Moreover, they came from the Demon Realm, so even if their cultivation levels were equal, their actual combat power was stronger than that of cultivators from the Xuan Tian Realm...
The creatures of the demon realm seem to be just that difficult to deal with.
Moreover, when they come together, they can unleash power far beyond imagination!
The Central Continent Dynasty has been struggling these past few days, but Chief Steward Yin wiped out an entire demon army with a single move. It was the first time that the Empress's ministers and generals had ever seen Yin Xueling take action.
Then they were all stunned.
"What is the state of combat readiness?"
Qin Yiyao asked.
"Your Majesty, the situation is good. Although the battles with those demon soldiers and demon creatures a few days ago were not easy, the soldiers are in high spirits and are just waiting for Your Majesty's orders."
The commander immediately replied respectfully.
Qin Yiyao nodded slightly. "Very good, give the order to continue the attack."
"Since the Demon Realm only allows these cannon fodder beings to wreak havoc in the Western Regions, then let's do as they say and kill all the cannon fodder."
"Everyone, get ready."
She uttered a cold sentence, then picked up the teacup beside her, sipped the fragrant tea, and remained elegant, as if she were completely unaffected by the dark clouds of the demonic realm.
"According to the order!"
The response was unanimous.
After everyone had left, Qin Yiyao moved her eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
"...You seem born to be an empress."
Yin Xueling said with a smile.
"of course."
Qin Yiyao raised her eyebrows and haughtily snorted.
"It was chosen by my master." Yin Xueling looked outside Tianfeng Fortress, where the sky had long been stained with the blood from the Demon Realm: "I heard my grandfather talk about the Five Realms War. The Demon Realm was quite terrifying back then."
"But now, it seems like they're all bark and no bite."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao gave a cold smile.
"Don't rush. The Demon Realm does things step by step. The fact that they've only sent out these demon army legions is just an appetizer. What's coming next is a large number of combat forces in the Demon Transformation and Void Demon stages."
"Then cultivators at the third level of True Demon will also make a move. Below that, there are beings at the level of Demon General and Demon Lord, but they will not make a move easily and will stay hidden first."
“The Xuantian Realm has its own Heavenly Dao rules. Even if they come, they can’t fight freely, otherwise the Xuantian Realm would have been devastated long ago.”
Qin Yiyao was well-versed in the history of the primordial era, so the current actions of the Demon Realm were within her expectations. However, this situation wouldn't last long.
Only when the Demon Realm dispatched a Demon-level cultivator comparable to an Immortal-level cultivator did the invasion truly begin.
But Qin Yiyao was already waiting.
Qin Yiyao has already received the top-tier divine sword that her master forged for her from Xiaobai.
to be frank.
She really wanted to find a few opponents to test just how sharp her master's "masterpiece" really was!
"My grandfather told me that Young Master Gu returned to the desolate city a few days ago."
"Oh?"
Qin Yiyao's eyes immediately lit up.
