Chapter 1620: Chapter 716: Great Spatial Skill! Skeleton Legion Frenzy! (Part 3)

…

Three unwelcome guests arrived at the Misfortune Cave Abode.

Suo Mo, the leader of the Flame Demon Council, Princess Sha Yan, the wife of Lanling, the Blazing Demon Banner-Master, and Hei Zhou, the former Black Demon Banner Master.

The three came together to pay respects to the martial leader of the Blazing Demon Banner, the foremost Master of Misfortune Cave.

Princess Sha Yan gave a half-bow to the Master of Misfortune Cave and said, “Sha Yan, the mother of the Blazing Demon Banner, pays respects to the Master of Misfortune Cave.”

The Master of Misfortune Cave returned the gesture, saying, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Princess Sha Yan said, “The Blazing Demon Banner is about to engage in a destiny battle with the Heaven Demon Banner. Only one of our families, the Flame Demon Family or the Demon Sky Clan, can survive. Are you aware of this, Master of Misfortune Cave?”

“It has been a clamor throughout the entire Demon Territory,” replied the Master of Misfortune Cave.

Princess Sha Yan said, “The Blazing Demon Banner and the Misfortune Cave, rise together and fall together. According to the contract, Sha Yan is here to request aid, asking the esteemed Master of Misfortune Cave to dispatch experts to support my husband Lanling in this destiny battle.”

The Master of Misfortune Cave was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No!”

Princess Sha Yan’s expression changed as she asked, “Why not? The Blazing Demon Banner and the Misfortune Cave are one. Once the war begins, the other side must unconditionally support this, as per the long-standing contract. Are you intending to break the contract, Master of Misfortune Cave?”

The Master of Misfortune Cave said, “There are two reasons.”

Princess Sha Yan sneered coldly, “I would like to hear them.”

The Master of Misfortune Cave said, “Firstly, Lanling’s ascension to power is illegitimate. Secondly, Lanling is mad, inciting war indiscriminately, dooming himself to destruction.”

Princess Sha Yan said, “My husband was personally appointed as the Blazing Demon Banner-Master by the Rakshasa King, and even the former Black Demon Monarch pledged allegiance under him. How is his position illegitimate? The Young Master Gutu of the Heaven Demon Banner attempted to seize me as his wife. My husband fought for honor. How does that count as inciting war?”

The Master of Misfortune Cave said, “He is dooming himself to destruction, so forgive me for not accompanying you.”

With that, he closed his eyes and said calmly, “See the guests out!”

Princess Sha Yan, Suo Mo, and Hei Zhou left the Misfortune Cave Abode with faces as cold as ice.

Unable to repress her fury, Princess Sha Yan said, “Master of Misfortune Cave, once we win this destiny battle, don’t blame us if we’re merciless and completely expel you, for you do not deserve to remain in the Misfortune Cave Abode within our Blazing Demon Banner’s borders.”

The Master of Misfortune Cave said, “That’s impossible. Lanling is dooming himself and has no reason to survive!”

…

Meanwhile, Huo Feng, the wife of the former Black Demon Banner Master Hei Zhou, knelt outside the gate of Fire Demon Mountain!

The mountain gate was firmly shut, and she could not even enter.

The former Black Demon Master Hei Zhou knew that Young Master Gutu had gone to the Thirteen Floors to seek assistance, bringing along nineteen powerful experts.

So as not to lag behind in martial path forces, Hei Zhou pleaded with his wife Huo Feng to go to Fire Demon Mountain for aid.

Fire Demon Mountain and Thirteen Floors are both top-level martial forces within the Rakshasa Domain.

The Fire Demon Venerable and Master Chonglou are martial leaders in the Rakshasa Domain, their status nearly on par with the Rakshasa King.

Therefore, if she could obtain the support of the Fire Demon Venerable, Lanling would not fall too far behind in martial forces.

However, Huo Feng was disappointed.

Previously, every time she returned to Fire Demon Mountain, it was entirely as the demeanor of a master. Her parents doted on her greatly, and she could behave as she pleased.

Moreover, her father, the Fire Demon Venerable, was highly respected, proud, and valued righteousness.

Therefore, Huo Feng believed her request for aid would have a satisfactory outcome.

Yet unexpectedly, she received no support from Fire Demon Mountain, could not even enter the mountain gate, nor see her own parents.

Huo Feng cried out mournfully, “Father, Mother, are you really going to watch me die without helping?”

The gate of Fire Demon Mountain remained closed without any response.

Huo Feng screamed defiantly, “Father, Mother, if you refuse to save me, then consider that you have no such daughter.”

The mountain gate cracked open slightly, and a glamorous woman slowly walked out.

She was Huo Feng’s sister-in-law, Duoni, the wife of Huo Yunmo, the Young Master of Fire Demon Mountain.

She approached Huo Feng and said indifferently, “Foolish sister, what does Lanling’s death have to do with you? If he dies, it is a good opportunity for your Black Demon Family to rise.”

Huo Feng said, “But my husband has pledged allegiance to Lanling.”

The wife of the Fire Demon Mountain Young Master sneered, “Lanling is such a fool, dooming himself. This battle he is sure to lose. Fire Demon Mountain will not stand with the side of failure. Go back!”

…

The Blazing Demon Banner’s request for aid from the Misfortune Cave Abode failed, and the request for aid from Fire Demon Mountain also failed.

Everyone saw the same outcome; in this destiny battle, the Blazing Demon Banner is doomed to defeat, Lanling is doomed to die.

Countless people sneered, “Foolish Lanling, if you knew this outcome, why did you act so rashly in the first place? You sought temporary triumph, only to bring upon yourself utter disaster!”

The Blazing Demon Banner is destined to fail, Lanling is destined to die!

This became a consensus across the Rakshasa Domain, across the entire Demon Territory.

In this atmosphere, the Demon Lord led 700,000 troops, marching grandly into the Heaven Demon Banner Territory.

At the same time, various tribes within the Heaven Demon Banner that had not been destroyed, led their troops to gather.

When they were still 2000 miles from Demon City, the army beside the Demon Lord had already surpassed one million; when they were 500 miles from Demon City, the army had exceeded 1.4 million.

And concurrently…

In the eastern seas of the Heaven Demon Banner, a fierce storm raged, dark clouds covered the sky, like the end of the world, like hell.

A million-strong Skeleton Legion landed massively from the sea, entering the Heaven Demon Banner Territory, moving north toward Demon City!
