Chapter 402: Who doesn't understand strategy?
Su Luo did not wait for Su Jinxi's reply. He took off and flew towards the Demon Realm.
Behind him, two demonic birds raised in the demon realm also followed and left.
Su Jinxi stood there stunned, her expression slightly hardening.
Although she was a demon, and not the most intelligent or clever among the demon races, Su Luo's words had already revealed a great deal.
For example, Su Jinxi now knows what gave the Demon Emperor the confidence to launch a second war between the two races.
He has connections above him!
Logically speaking, the gap between the demon realm and human forces is too great. The demon realm is only on the edge of the eastern border, and in terms of size, it is not even a quarter of the size of the eastern border, whether compared in terms of army size, top combat power, or resources.
Even the Demon Realm could not possibly win the great war.
Any unusual activity in the Demon Realm will attract the united forces of all humans from the Western Regions, Southern Wilderness, Northern Desert, Central Plains, and Eastern Frontier!
Of course, the decisive premise for all of this lies in "top-notch combat power".
If the Demon Emperor were at the tenth level of the Supreme Saint realm, or even stronger, at the Immortal Ascension stage, or had already become a Demon Immortal, then he would have absolutely no need to hold back; his army would have already pressed in.
The problem is that apart from the Demon King and two or three old monsters who are almost dead, there is no other combat power above the fifth level of the Supreme Saint in the entire Demon Realm.
Therefore, Su Jinxi never thought that the Demon King could succeed.
His "grand ambitions" will only lead the demon race into an abyss of no return, ensuring that the demon races will never be able to rise again!
However, Su Luo's words just now made Su Jinxi understand things from a different perspective.
Behind the Demon King, there is a "mastermind"!
Whoever is behind this, they are stronger than the Demon King. They gave the Demon King confidence, or simply offered him benefits, letting him know that attacking humans is absolutely feasible and profitable!
However, the Demon Emperor himself was already at the sixth level of the Supreme Saint realm.
Based on Su Jinxi's understanding, if Gu Heng is not considered, the strongest person on the human side is Jiang Lingyun, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, who is at the seventh level of the Supreme Saint realm.
The demon race is the strongest on both sides of humanity. Although there is a gap between them, the gap is actually not that big.
If someone is even stronger than the Demon King, so strong that the Demon King can disregard the enormous difference in strength between them...
What kind of existence does that have to be?
Ascending to immortality? Or have they already reached a level comparable to immortals?
If it truly exists at this level...
As Su Jinxi pondered this, cold sweat began to trickle down her back without her realizing it.
If even the Demon King could be dragged into this, wouldn't the entire Demon Realm be in grave danger? Su Jinxi didn't believe that the mastermind behind the scenes was helping the Demon King prepare for the great battle for free; they must have had their own agenda.
The cost is enormous, and it is a cost that none of the living beings in the Xuan Tian Realm can afford!
"call out--"
The sound of something cutting through the air, growing louder as it approached from afar, made Su Jinxi's hair stand on end. She then looked up.
A formidable opponent is on its way!
……
Several figures flew through the air and quickly approached the Ancient Crocodile Mountain Range. However, they did not get too close. Instead, they looked down from a distance of ten miles and took in the Primordial Secret Palace at a glance.
Each of them wore a black robe that covered their entire body, so their faces could not be seen.
But just by standing in the sky, it seemed as if extreme darkness gathered around it, forming black clouds that could pollute the sky.
"Who left behind this palace?"
One of them whispered, "It must have been left behind by those seven damned guys back then."
"They went to great lengths to break the stalemate between the Netherworld and the Ancient Immortal Realm, and even wanted to revitalize the Xuan Tian Realm, whose rules were in disarray."
The other person shook his head: "How can we let them succeed!"
"Hmph, they know how to plan, but do you think we don't? We still have advantages. At least the Underworld and the Demon Realm have the ability to project their power here. Those guys from the Ancient Realm and the Immortal Realm who talk big don't have this kind of ability. Who told them to choose to withdraw when the Five Realms Passage broke down back then?"
Another person spoke up: "There's no need to say more now. Those seven guys left behind their natal magic artifacts and inheritance opportunities inside. This palace must be destroyed."
"And those who have gotten the opportunity should be eliminated as soon as possible, lest they disrupt our grand plan."
After he finished speaking, several men in black robes suddenly waved their sleeves.
"Shh!"
A violent gust of wind swept across hundreds of miles of the Ancient Crocodile Mountains in an instant.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky, piling up overhead as if a great terror was brewing within them!
Inside the ancient secret palace.
Gu Heng followed Qin Fen to the top of the Ancient Secret Palace.
"The scenery here is quite nice."
Gu Heng looked down at the unobstructed mountain range below and was in a very good mood.
He was very happy. Although the trip was a bit unexpected, he felt he had gained a lot!
Most importantly, my little girl can now cultivate!
What a wonderful thing!
Qin Fen brought him here mainly because there was nowhere else to go. The main hall below had basically been empty, and those who had obtained their opportunities had left happily. There were still three immortal treasures left that no one was destined to claim, so the fight below was still raging.
So Qin Fen simply gave the rest of the things to Gu Heng and let him take them.
Maybe he'll meet his soulmate someday.
Since he had already broken his oath to the immortal lords, Qin Fen decided to make his move.
"As you can see, there's nothing much to see here anymore..." Qin Fen said.
But Gu Heng's gaze was fixed on the sky.
Why did the sky suddenly become covered with dark clouds? It feels like a storm is brewing.
