Chapter 166: Reality or Imaginary

They thought that the information they leaked wouldn’t have much of an impact . For example, this mass migration was carried out suddenly—one that would last months, Letting the demons learn of it a few hours earlier wouldn’t have much of an impact . However, they had forgotten these trivial information leaks determined the war outcome . These information leaks could lead to big changes and ultimately determine humanity’s fate .

Of course, there were a few Godfiends that felt like humanity would definitely lose . They were the ones that betrayed humanity completely!

“That’s why Archean Mountain issued the order at the same time,” said Fan Cheng . “We didn’t even know about it beforehand . ”

Very few Godfiends knew about this matter beforehand . Marquis Heavenstar had only told Zhang Yunhu and Meng Chuan! Before the Great Relocation Plan was initiated, only humanity’s leaders knew of it . Later, it was the Marquis and Regis Godfiends, followed by the likes of Meng Chuan of Zhang Yunhu . Most Godfiends only learned about the Great Relocation Plan at the end .

“Master, the demon monarchs will arrive very soon . ” Liu Qiyue looked down . “Thirty-five demon monarchs will pass through the tunnel in thirty seconds and reach the human world . ”

“Let them in first before we kill them all,” said Marquis Heavenstar . Although he was standing there, the mortal soldiers couldn’t see him . This was also one of the Darkstar domain’s special abilities . The Darkstar domain was unique to Marquis Godfiends and above . It had many uses such as concealment, disguise, defense, offense, and flight .

Fourth Firmament demon monarchs had all sorts of divine powers, but they were slightly inferior to Marquis Godfiends because they didn’t have a Darkstar domain .

Marquis Heavenstar stepped off the city wall, floating above North River Pass’s inner city . He retrieved his bow from his back as he stared at the World Entrance coldly .

“Oh?” Liu Qiyue frowned slightly and said, “Master, among the 35 demon monarchs, the spider demoness and ox demon monarch are gone . ”

“Oh?” Marquis Heavenstar’s eyes turned colder . “Has news of Marquis Godfiends defending medium-sized city passes been leaked? Or are the demons being cautious?”

After a while, 35 third Firmament demon monarchs entered . Among them were five elite demon monarchs .

Growl!

Awoo!

Hiss!

All sorts of sounds were heard . Second Firmament demon monarchs and mortals exited the World Entrance crazily . Since they didn’t suffer from any attacks, they quickly exited the World Entrance .

“No Godfiends are stopping us?” The 35 third Firmament demon monarchs exchanged looks .

“Charge, head up the city wall . ” A fox demon monarch gave the order .

They knew that this attack was rather special . 35 third Firmament demon monarchs, nearly 100 second Firmament demon monarchs, and countless demons began climbing up the wall .

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The demon monarchs rapidly climbed up the walls by using each other as platforms .

“I originally thought that there would be big fish . ” Marquis Heavenstar watched this scene calmly . No demons could see him .

The Darkstar domain could block most probes . It also rendered one invisible to the naked eye .

Marquis Heavenstar pulled his bowstring taut, but he had no arrows in his hand . After pulling the bow taut, four flaming arrows took form .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows became four burning streaks after they were shot out .

Marquis Heavenstar stayed in his current position and pulled the bowstring again . His hands were a blur as he pulled the bowstring . In just a few seconds, he had shot over 40 flaming arrows! These flaming arrows streaked across the sky at terrifying speeds . The third Firmament demon monarchs tried to dodge the arrows, but the flaming arrows followed them ever so slightly and struck them . One arrow even killed two demon monarchs!

35 third Firmament demon monarchs and 11 second Firmament demon monarchs died to the 40 flaming arrows .

“Run!” The remaining demons began retreating to the World Entrance in fear .

Humph . Marquis Heavenstar stood high in the sky and waved his hand . His Darkstar Quintessential Essence flew towards the demons .

His Darkstar Quintessential Essence caused the battlefield to explode . Over half of the mortal demons and second Firmament demon monarchs were killed . Since some were close enough to the World Entrance, many demons managed to flee back to the Demon Realm .

“This…” Fan Cheng, Liu Qiyue, and the other Godfiends were astounded .

With his strength alone, Marquis Heavenstar crushed the demon army . It was no wonder a medium-sized city pass became impregnable with a Marquis Godfiend guarding it .

They are really careful . They only sent five elite demon monarchs . Marquis Heavenstar looked down and shook his head slightly . If they were 35 third Firmament elite demon monarchs cooperating with each other, even he would have to spend some effort to kill them . When that happened, the second Firmament demon monarchs and ordinary demons would be fended off by Fan Cheng, Liu Qiyue, and the other Godfiends .

However, this demon army had been too weak .

…

On the other side of North River Pass’s World Entrance .

The Demon Realm .

An old turtle demon with a walking stick stood waiting . Around him were elite demon monarchs such as the spider demoness . Over ten elite demon monarchs possessed divine powers .

The demons—that had fled successfully—knelt down in horror .

“There were flaming arrows, a lot of flaming arrows . The third Firmament demon monarchs died in the blink of an eye . ”

“All the attacks came from the sky . We couldn’t see which Godfiend it was . ”

“Any slower and we would have died . ”

The second Firmament demon monarchs—that managed to escape—were terrified out of their wits .

“Uncle Yun, an invisible Godfiend’s attacks rained down from above . It should be a Marquis Godfiend,” said a nine-headed lion demon . The spider demoness and the other demon monarchs stood behind the nine-headed lion demon .

“They didn’t give us a chance despite the mass migration,” said the old turtle demon with a smile as he held his walking stick . “Continue waiting . When the Marquis Godfiend leaves, you will enter the human world in batches . ”

“Yes,” the nine-headed lion demon and the other demon monarchs replied respectfully .

The demons had long guessed that the mass migration meant that the humans were abandoning the small and medium-sized city passes .

They didn’t want the humans to turtle up, but the demons would naturally send their armies into the human world since the humans had done so . The human world was very dangerous for demons! Only a few would enter if they were given a choice . Therefore, various demon sages sent their descendants to lead the invasion . Smaller factions would send their own forces .

They would enter the human world on a large scale . The demons wanted to win as soon as possible because any delay might spell trouble for them .

…

In an ordinary tycoon’s manor in Jiang State Capital .

Meng Chuan, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang—Jiang State Capital’s three strongest Godfiends—read through the latest intelligence dossier .

“27th February . All small and medium-sized city passes have begun relocating their citizens . ” The white-haired Zhang Yunfeng read the dossier and said, “Every small and medium-sized city pass has been attacked by demons . The attacks aren’t very strong, but they have forced the Marquis Godfiends to reveal themselves . Some medium-sized city passes didn’t have any Marquis Godfiends and were forced to use their defensive treasures . ”

“The demons must know that almost all Marquis Godfiends in the world are guarding the city passes,” Meng Chuan said softly . “They should know that the state capitals are void of any strong Godfiends . ”

“Yes . ” Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang were solemn as well .

Although the states and prefectures still had Godfiends, they were much weaker than Marquis Godfiends .

“According to Archean Mountain’s estimates, the demons will soon attack prefecture cities and state capitals,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “However, the demons are still too weak in our human world . Most are ordinary demons and second Firmament demon monarchs . There are very few third Firmament demon monarchs . They’ll probably rely on the Skydemon Sect . ”

“Thankfully, there are much fewer fourth Firmament Skydemons than Marquis Godfiends,” said Meng Chuan .

Archean Mountain had already given him detailed information on the Skydemon Sect . The Skydemon Sect had 2 fifth Firmament Skydemons and 11 fourth Firmament Skydemons . According to their judgment, fifth Firmament Skydemons cherished their lives . They would not risk their lives when cooperating with demons .

If the Skydemon Sect was pressured by the demons, they might send fourth Firmament Skydemons .

Meng Chuan had read the detailed dossiers regarding all 11 fourth Firmament Skydemons . They were typically weaker than fourth Firmament demon monarchs, making them much weaker than Marquis Godfiends .

“We need to be careful . The demons and Skydemon Sect can attack the prefecture cities and state capitals at any moment,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “Jiang State Capital is a large city . With a population of seven million, the demons definitely won’t ignore it . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan and Yang Fang nodded slightly .

Although they had a few backup plans—as the strongest Godfiends at Jiang State Capital—they were under immense pressure .
