CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 519: PLAN WITHIN A PLAN_1

The central command tent!

The six great legion commanders gathered, looking at the sand table before them. Their faces were cold, their Evil Qi palpable. Perhaps due to being hastily made, the sand table looked somewhat crude, but it still clearly demarcated the mountains, rivers, and ancestral lands of the All Demons’ Saint’s Court.

"Marshal, all one billion alien soldiers are in position. They can attack at any time!" Zhao Yun said, clasping his hands, his tone slightly unnatural. He was certain that once the war broke out, these one billion alien soldiers would become cannon fodder.

"Gentlemen, we are currently located within the ’Corner Horse Clan.’ There are still five ancient-grade Dao Domains and six hundred and ninety-two alien races between us and the Ancient Court Dao Domain!" Bai Qi sat sternly on the commander’s seat, his expression like ice. His blood-red pupils seethed with Evil Qi, as if an endless river of blood flowed within them, a sight one dared not meet.

Surrounding him, strands of blood-colored Laws of Slaughter loomed, emitting a terrifying murderous intent.

"They are all eyesores. Let’s make them all disappear!"

"Let the aliens be the vanguard, with the soldiers of the major legions following behind. To battle!" Bai Qi slowly rose, pointing at the vast territories on the sand table as he spoke without mercy.

His tone was very calm, as though he was not out for slaughter, but for a leisurely tour. Each Martial Artist’s path of cultivation was different; no one could say who was right or wrong. But one thing was undeniable: in Bai Qi’s eyes, slaughter was pure amusement!

What in this world is more exciting than slaughter?

"We obey!"

The generals stood up, their backs straight as spears, their war intent soaring sky-high, breaking through the tent and shattering the heavens and the earth.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

A moment later, the war drums sounded.

In the dense forest, countless trees exploded as hundreds of millions of alien soldiers launched a charge, their vitality soaring like dragons, a raging torrent rushing forward. The thunderous sound of their marching shook the nine heavens, heralding the overture to death!

Behind the army, countless flags were raised, billowing in the wind, emanating a bloody glow as if soaked in blood, revealing a terrifying Evil Qi. Each flag, embroidered with the character ’Qin’ using spiritual threads, shone brilliantly!

Hundreds of miles away, a small alien tribe was in the midst of an orderly retreat among low shrubs, over a million of them. Suddenly, the trees began to sway, and the ground began to tremble violently.

"Wha...What is that?" an alien cried out in horror, looking up towards the north.

A crimson torrent approached rapidly from the far horizon. The boundless Evil Qi was like a God Mountain of immense, crushing weight, pressing down.

"Demon Qi!"

"It’s the aura of our own kind! But hasn’t the north been occupied by the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court?"

"Yes! So how did they get here?"

The other migrating aliens turned to look. Recognizing their own kind, they lowered their guard and stood discussing amongst themselves.

However, what happened next left them utterly dumbfounded!

The hundreds of millions of East Border alien soldiers who rushed forward began to slaughter without a word, sending the migrating aliens flying, blood splattering everywhere. Disbelief lingered in their eyes.

What’s going on?

Aren’t we the same kind?

"Qin...Qin Flag! Everyone, run!" an incredibly powerful alien exclaimed. Through the seething demon Qi, he saw the Qin Flags planted behind the hundreds of millions of East Border alien soldiers. He frantically channeled his internal demon Qi, trying to escape in panic.

Yet, he had only moved a few steps before a Sword Qi descended from the sky and beheaded him. Blood gushed out, and his massive head shot into the air.

With his fading consciousness, he saw a general wreathed in killing intent, holding a blood sword, standing in the depths of the white clouds, like a god of slaughter descending upon the world.

Qin Dynasty! Bai Qi, the God of Slaughter!

This was the last thought that flashed through his mind.

RUMBLE!

In a mere moment, this migrating alien clan, like a small boat adrift in a stormy sea, was swallowed by the vast ocean of Evil Qi and completely vanished from this world.

Blood splattered everywhere! The sound of cracking bones echoed intermittently!

After the East Border alien soldiers had passed, the low bushes had vanished. Only bodies trampled into crimson mud, mixed with stark white bones, remained. Such an exceedingly bloody scene, if witnessed by someone of weak resolve, would undoubtedly cause incessant vomiting and lifelong nightmares.

In the face of this, the Qin soldiers of the six legions had long grown accustomed; they had all crawled their way along the brink of death. Would those who had stared death in the face still fear the dead?

The journey ahead was one of slaughter, death, and destruction!

Undeniably, after the East Border alien races joined the war, the speed of conquering and expanding territories had noticeably increased. Within just five days, they had occupied three ancient-grade Dao Domains and eradicated over ninety different alien races.

Of course, the continuous campaigning had also inflicted heavy losses on the East Border alien races, with casualties amounting to a staggering half a billion.

「At night.」

The moonlight was blood-red. Bai Qi stood on an old tree, his hands behind his back, appearing incredibly lonely under the moonlight.

"Marshal, Ah Gu reported that he just encountered people from the All Demons’ Saint’s Court. They asked him to betray us at Blood Wave Valley. If nothing unexpected happens, the All Demons’ Saint’s Court will dispatch a large army to ambush us!" Zhao Yun, clad in silver armor, stepped out from the darkness. Looking at Bai Qi on the treetop, he spoke in a somber tone. The ’Ah Gu’ he mentioned was the leader of the East Border alien army and one of the few Emperor-level Martial Artists among them.

So they’re finally coming! Bai Qi’s brow twitched. He jumped down from the tree, a faint, sly smile on his face. "Tell Ah Gu to cooperate with the All Demons’ Saint’s Court’s plan and lead us to Blood Wave Valley!"

When the East Border alien races had joined the battle, he had known the All Demons’ Saint’s Court would send someone to liaise. And he had been waiting for this opportunity! During this period, although he had killed many alien races, apart from the Jade Rhinoceros Bull Tribe, they were all small or medium-sized races, incapable of shaking the foundation of the All Demons’ Saint’s Court. After all, the twelve sacred clan armies of the All Demons’ Saint’s Court had not yet appeared.

The main issue was his current location deep within the territory of the All Demons’ Saint’s Court, lacking the intelligence to pinpoint the twelve sacred clan armies. The plan was to devise a way to lure them out. The East Border alien races were merely his chess pieces! And the purpose of these chess pieces, besides expanding territory, was to bait the main alien army!

"Understood!" Zhao Yun nodded and turned to make the arrangements.

「Four hours later.」

Two winged insects silently departed the Qin army camp, flitting through the darkness, heading south. They were small and had retracted their auras, appearing like ordinary insects, hardly noticeable.

"The defenses around the Qin camp are too strict. It took us five days to find a single flaw!" one insect said with lingering fear.

"The Qin army is famed worldwide; it would be strange if we could penetrate their defenses easily! I am now certain that the Qin army has not detected us!" replied the other insect, a gleam flashing in its barely perceptible eyes.

"Well, at least we successfully completed the mission. Let’s hurry back!"

"Hehe, we should receive a generous reward this time..."

「The next morning!」

Countless streaks of purple Qi hung in the sky over the Beast God Dao Domain, morphing into various beautiful and magnificent shapes.

"Emperor, the plan has succeeded!" Hu Qingyue, whose soft fur gleamed white, ascended a majestic mountain suffused with imperial might. Stepping lightly, she bowed respectfully and reported.

At the mountain’s peak, the Demon Emperor, in his human form, sat cross-legged on a large rock, cultivating by absorbing the purple Qi. In the sunlight, a purple-gold halo formed around him.

Upon hearing Hu Qingyue’s words, the Demon Emperor opened his eyes. A trace of excitement flickered in his majestic gaze. The good news he had been anxiously awaiting had finally arrived!

"Issue a decree!" The Demon Emperor rose. His ruthless face showed a touch of fervent killing intent. Clenching his fists, he asserted, "Command the armies of the Demon Tiger Sacred Clan, the Heavenly Mantis Sacred Clan, the Red Gold Sacred Clan, and the Ancient Court Dao Domain to secretly advance to Blood Wave Valley, ready to annihilate the Qin army... For this battle, I myself will lead the charge!"

Now, the alien races faced a great calamity, their lands falling to the enemy. As the Demon Emperor, he must wield the ’Demon God Sword,’ expel the invaders, and pull the alien races back from the brink of defeat!
