Back to the front line, the leader of Wanjianmen appears!
“Are the sisters-in-law alright?” Niu Le asked again, hurriedly.
“Thank you for your concern, Demon King Niu Le. Thankfully, I returned in time, and nothing happened,” Hu Xiao quickly expressed his gratitude.
Niu Le breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.
“It’s good that nothing happened.”
“But those guys would even do something like that to deal with you.”
“You still need to be more careful in the future.”
At this moment, Niu Le thought of something and suddenly spoke.
“Oh, by the way, the Demon Emperor’s reward for you has already arrived.”
“What is it?” Hu Xiao quickly asked.
“It’s a mansion in Eastern Emperor City.” Niu Le smiled and patted Hu Xiao’s shoulder.
“Don’t just see it as a mansion; you should know that Eastern Emperor City is the center of the entire Eastern Demon Domain, and it is incredibly prosperous.”
“Moreover, the spiritual energy there is rich, which is beneficial for cultivation.”
“You can arrange for the sisters-in-law to move there.”
“It’s also safe there, and you can rest assured. What do you think?”
Hu Xiao frowned slightly. He had originally thought that the Demon Emperor would reward him with spirit fruits, spirit herbs, or spirit weapons.
He never expected it to be a mansion.
However, on second thought, it made sense.
He had accomplished such a great feat, so it was understandable to be rewarded with a mansion.
Although the mansion was useless to him, for other Demon Kings, it was a tremendous reward.
Even Golden Flood Dragon and Qing Qiu were not qualified to own property in a prosperous place like Eastern Emperor City.
Presumably, the Demon Emperor must have seen his potential and wanted to win him over.
“Why do you still look unhappy?” Niu Le asked curiously when he saw that Hu Xiao did not immediately express gratitude.
At this moment, Niu Le suddenly noticed that Hu Xiao’s cultivation had already broken through to five-star.
“Your strength?”
“A lucky breakthrough!” Hu Xiao laughed.
“Hahaha!” Niu Le immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this. “Good, good, good, it’s good to break through! But the speed of your strength advancement is truly astonishing.”
“You can consider the matter of moving.”
“The stronger you are, the more people will target you.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly.
As Niu Le said.
If he became stronger and stayed at home, it would be fine, but now he was on the front lines.
It was not guaranteed that others would not act against his wife and children.
Although he could rush back in time, if he left and others broke through this defensive line from the front, then at that time, this Demon Domain would fall into human hands.
Tiger King City would not be able to escape unscathed either.
“Okay!”
Hu Xiao nodded heavily.
Although there was the protection of the willow tree, ordinary Demon Kings and Martial Kings could not break through, but no one could guarantee whether a stronger Martial King would make a move later on.
Niu Le immediately smiled, then took out a token and handed it to Hu Xiao.
“This is the token.”
“You only need to hold this token to find the mansion in Eastern Emperor City.”
“Thank you, Demon King Niu Le.” Hu Xiao took it and quickly cupped his hands in thanks.
Afterward, Niu Le and Hu Xiao discussed the changes of the past few days.
Hu Xiao’s dark eyes were covered with a layer of coldness after hearing this.
“After I left, the other side slowed down their attacks instead.”
“Are they brewing some conspiracy?”
Niu Le nodded after hearing this: “I thought so too.”
“In recent times, three more battle zones have been forcibly broken through by them.”
“And I heard that a Martial Emperor seems to have made a move.”
“What?” Hu Xiao’s pupils suddenly widened.
“A Martial Emperor made a move?”
“Are they that impatient?”
“We don’t know what exactly is going on.” Niu Le’s tone suddenly sank, and a hint of coldness erupted in his eyes.
“But so far, it seems that the other side definitely wants to end this war quickly.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be long before our battle zone is breached.”
“What about the Demon Emperor?” Hu Xiao quickly asked, “Does he have any plans?”
Niu Le shook his head: “Currently, we have not received any instructions.”
Hu Xiao frowned in thought.
According to the information he had obtained, on the surface, the human race’s top-tier combat power was much higher than that of the demon race.
If a full-scale outbreak truly occurred, the demon race might very likely be unable to contend.
But up until now, Hu Xiao had not figured out what the other side’s true objective was.
After a brief conversation, Hu Xiao left Niu Le’s large tent and returned to his own camp.
Upon returning, Hu Xiao immediately called Xiong Er.
He handed him the token.
“Take this token back and have them immediately move to Eastern Emperor City.”
“Yes, Great King.” Xiong Er took the token without any hesitation and turned to leave the front line.
Afterward, Hu Xiao, along with Bat Wing and Deer Star, immediately rushed to the front line.
And the moment Hu Xiao appeared, the human cultivators retreated frantically as if they had seen a ghost.
“Run, that killing god has appeared again.”
“Damn it, didn’t that killing god disappear for several days? Why did he appear again?”
“I thought he was dead, why is he alive again?”
The news of Hu Xiao’s appearance quickly reached the ears of the Wan Jian Sect’s Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder had been in a good mood these past few days because Hu Xiao had disappeared. He had originally thought that Sect Leader Jin and the others’ plan had succeeded.
He never expected that in just a few days, Hu Xiao would appear again, and from Hu Xiao’s appearance, he had not been affected in the slightest.
“Damn it, those three good-for-nothings weren’t killed by Hu Xiao, were they?”
During this time, no news about Sect Leader Jin and the other two had been received,
yet Hu Xiao had appeared safe and sound.
Without needing to think much, the Grand Elder had already guessed the outcome of the matter.
He was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
And the other sect masters who remained were even more terrified, trembling all over, not daring to say a word.
They also thought that Sect Leader Jin’s plan this time was flawless.
But those three guys were actually so useless that they died at Hu Xiao’s hands.
Rong Guang, Ge Wu, and Luan Han’an, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
When they learned of the plan, Sect Leader Jin and the other two had already left for more than half a day.
That day, they went to find Hu Xiao to inform him of the matter, but they couldn’t see Hu Xiao, which made them worried.
After all, if Hu Xiao were controlled by Sect Leader Jin and the other two, then they would also be indirectly controlled.
Now that they knew those three guys were dead, they felt relieved.
At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly felt a powerful aura descending, and his expression changed slightly.
“You good-for-nothings, get out of here immediately.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if a great burden had been lifted and quickly scurried out of the large tent.
Ge Wu was about to leave when he suddenly heard the Grand Elder behind him call out to him.
“Ge Wu, you stay.”
“Yes!” Ge Wu’s expression was slightly stunned, and he stayed.
Not long after, the space in front suddenly twisted, and a middle-aged man dressed in a gray Daoist robe stepped out.
Ge Wu’s expression froze at the sight.
The person who emerged was none other than his master, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The Sect Master of Wan Jian Sect.
