How did you do that in Chapter 218?
In the dim, thick fog, the demon general, who was hiding in the rear, shuddered.
He had secretly infiltrated this time, after all, the people of the Northern Ridge Holy Land had captured their Demon General's deputy Demon General, repeatedly thwarting the Demon Clan's plans and even injuring his daughter. The Crimson Demon General thought he had to show his stance.
He happened to encounter a demonic tide, where the black demonic mist gave birth to a large number of low- to mid-level demons. He decided to take advantage of the chaos and teach the nearby humans a lesson.
He never expected anyone to notice his arrival. Impossible! He had deliberately concealed his presence and hadn't told anyone! Not even the demons in the neighboring area knew.
Besides the demon general who was in shock, the leader of the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect were also startled when they heard this thought.
The Desolate Ancient Battlefield is the most inconspicuous battlefield in the Southern Region, and it is mostly occupied by low- to mid-level demons. How could a demon general possibly come here?
It should be noted that the status of the demon generals is second only to the demon king, equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage or peak Nascent Soul stage in the human realm.
This demon general came prepared, intending to wipe out all the geniuses in the North and South regions in one fell swoop?
Thinking of this, all the elders guarding the place felt a chill run down their spines.
The leaders of the Northern Ridge Holy Land quickly relayed the news to their Holy Lord, requesting that he send more people to provide support.
Upon hearing this news, the Holy Lord of Beiling was stunned. Both the North and South regions had put in a great deal of effort for this competition.
They had originally planned to hold the final competition in a newly developed secret realm, the Rakshasa Star Sea.
However, they also feared a repeat of the situation with the Southern Spirit Sect, where the demons would get there first, and by then it would be too late for regrets.
Therefore, the Beiling side even released the news and directly sealed off this new secret realm, saying to the outside world that these people were training in the Rakshasa Star Sea, but in reality, they had secretly transferred those people to the desolate ancient battlefield in the Southern Region.
The Holy Lord of Beiling couldn't understand how this news had been leaked, since very few people knew about it, and even some elders didn't know the exact location.
"It might be a traitor!" The Holy Lord of Beiling was furious. He was convinced that it was someone planted by that demon manager from last time, and he hadn't expected that they still hadn't completely removed him!
The Holy Lord of Beiling, who was hastily gathering manpower to provide support, never expected that this time it would really be a case of stumbling upon something by accident.
Meanwhile, in the northern Demon Realm, some demons were prepared in the Rakshasa Star Sea, intending to assassinate the pride of the human race.
However, the demon general who was crouching behind the Southern Demon Tide at this moment was from the Southern Demon Clan. Although the four major demon domains had a common goal and were all under the jurisdiction of the Demon King's Palace, most of them did not communicate with each other and even disliked each other. They were arrogant, and of course, there were also cowards.
[Lan Yue: Finally, I can get some juicy gossip from the Demon Realm! And it's even a Demon General! I wonder if Demon Generals give out more points.]
Since she was speaking in her own mind, Lan Yue was somewhat capricious, muttering to herself for a long time.
[Lan Yue: This demon general comes from the Southern Demon Realm, the Crimson Demon General's Mansion? So there are so many twists and turns on the demon side.]
Lan Yue seemed to be deep in thought. She was very glad that she had upgraded to an intermediate-level spectator. Otherwise, if the demon general had been hiding so well, she definitely wouldn't have been able to watch the drama unfold.
[Let's see what kind of gossip this Southern Demon Realm has to offer. Oh ho, this demon general who sneaked in actually has a human lover! Not only that, the Crimson Demon General willingly kneels on a washboard at home every day and cooks with his little heart-shaped tail!]
Lan Yue was utterly astonished upon seeing this. There were actually humans in the Demon Realm? And the Demon General even had a human lover?
Well, on the system panel, this demon general looks honest with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He not only knelt on a washboard, but even used his tail to cook.
Well, how should I put it? It seems that even demons have ambitions.
In the pitch-black night, the warriors fighting with the low- to mid-level demons looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
What is that sound? Why did it suddenly appear amidst the demonic tide?
The key point is that since that voice came out, the surging, somewhat frenzied, demonic tide has even shown a tendency to shrink, and the number of low- and mid-level demons in front of them has also decreased accordingly.
"I understand! This must be a secret weapon of our human race. It will be activated at a special moment!" Soldier Tiezhu clapped his hands and shouted involuntarily.
Otherwise, how could the voice have instantly discovered the existence of a demon general, and even named and identified the person?
No wonder the people sent today are all very young. It turns out they weren't sent to their deaths. Rather, the Southern Region is well aware that this demonic tide is nothing but a trivial matter and not worth mentioning!
He explained his guess to his comrade next to him, but his comrade lowered his eyes and pondered, feeling that it was not that simple.
However, seeing the lack of surprise on the faces of those young people made him uncertain again.
Not far from where they were.
Holding a dark green oil-paper umbrella, Qingzhu smiled as she watched the surging black mist not far away, while also remaining wary of the lurking demon general.
Jiang Li, carrying a huge cleaver, waited nearby, silently guarding the direction of Lan Yue.
He would not allow any demon to break through the defenses at this time and disturb his junior sister.
Meanwhile, many elders from various sects had arrived nearby to secretly protect this group of people.
In a normal competition, where they would only encounter mid- or low-level demons, they certainly wouldn't be this nervous.
However, lurking within this black mist is a demon general, someone even the elders might not be able to defeat, let alone these little ones.
"Elder Chi, do you think we should end this final competition early? After all, we have many talented juniors from both the North and South regions here. If that demon general goes mad and summons more high-level demons, we will definitely have a very hard time dealing with them."
The sect leader of Yaoguang asked nervously.
She knew that the Second Elder of the Southern Spirit Sect had been involved in the planning of this competition, and she was determined to stop the competition immediately. In her opinion, the rankings were irrelevant; preserving her life was the most important thing.
However, the Second Elder shook his head: "Sect Master Yaoguang, this matter is not so simple. It would be best for us to remain still for now."
"The Crimson Demon General comes from the Southern Demon Realm. He probably doesn't know that the final location for our inter-realm competition is here, otherwise he wouldn't be the only demon general here. If he really knew, there would definitely be other demon generals guarding this place together. Only in this way can we wipe them all out."
This was the Second Elder's urgent analysis. When he first heard Lan Yue say that a demon general was secretly lurking here, he was very worried. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was probably just a lucky coincidence.
After all, the Crimson Demon General alone was not enough to break through the encirclement and disrupt the final competition between the two domains.
Moreover, this demon general is known for cherishing his reputation. Whenever there is a battle, he has to team up with other demon generals, otherwise he will only dare to cause trouble in secret.
The other side doesn't have the guts to take on so many elders from their sects by themselves, a demon general.
The sect leader of Yaoguang seemed to be deep in thought, but she still looked at the black mist in the distance with some worry.
[Lan Yue: Speaking of which, this Crimson Demon General is a bit of a joke. He's in such a high position, yet he's still so timid. On the surface, he seems mysterious and aloof throughout the Southern Demon Realm, but that's because he's terrified! He doesn't dare to come out at all because he has paranoia and always feels like someone wants to persecute him.]
Lan Yue scrolled through the system panel for a while, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and directly pasted an emoji that said "There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me," before scrolling down with satisfaction.
[Not only that, the entire Crimson Demon General's Mansion is maintained by the Deputy Demon General. This Demon General only sneaks in to show his face when there's nothing else to do. No wonder he went to such lengths to rescue his capable assistant! This time, he probably just wanted to cause trouble in secret, but I saw him, hehehe!]
[However, this Crimson Demon General's strength seems to rank among the top of all these demon generals, so how exactly does he manage to be so strong yet so cowardly?]
Lan Yue gently clicked on the Crimson Demon General's portrait and found the Demon Generals' combat power ranking next to it. Sure enough, she found that this Demon General's position was quite high.
This made her even more confused. Could it be that strong people always have some unknown quirks?
