While the Twelve Demon Generals were wildly expanding the forces under their command.

On this day, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the former encampment of Fu Wang Palace.

This group of people wore uniform sky-blue attire.

On their long sleeves was a badge.

Upon the badge was a great mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

If anyone saw their attire, they would surely give them a wide berth.

This was because they came from a terrifying place: Heavenly God Mountain!

In the Northern Region, there were a total of four transcendent forces.

They were Heavenly God Mountain, Flying Immortal Gate, Fu Wang Palace, and North Demon Cave.

Flying Immortal Gate was transcendent and very low-key; Fu Wang Palace acted wantonly, arrogantly, and tyrannically; North Demon Cave had multiple lineages coexisting with surging Devilish Qi.

Yet, this Heavenly God Mountain was extremely mysterious.

Very little information about Heavenly God Mountain circulated in the outside world.

But since it could become one of the four transcendent forces, its own strength could not be underestimated.

There were even rumors.

If one were to rank the strongest among the four transcendent forces, this Heavenly God Mountain would surely take the top spot.

All because the origin of this Heavenly God Mountain seemed to have intricate connections with the legendary Heavenly Gods.

Under the dim sky, Devilish Qi churned!

A burly middle-aged man gazed ahead.

His tiger-like eyes constantly scanned the world around him, his Aura was as majestic as an abyss, and he naturally carried the Aura of a superior.

It made people fearful just to look at him.

His name was Ling Tian!

The current Sect Master of Heavenly God Mountain.

One of the most powerful existences in the Northern Region.

With a status and position like Ling Tian's, he had always been someone who remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes or the Yellow River burst its banks overhead.

Yet at this moment, this man revealed a look of being moved.

Not only him, but even the high-ranking members of Heavenly God Mountain were inexplicably shocked.

Just then, a leader responsible for intelligence gathering came to report respectfully.

"Report Sect Master, according to our investigation, the entire Fu Wang Palace force that entered Demon City has been wiped out, with no survivors. At the scene, hundreds of corpses were found, including the Sect Master of Fu Wang Palace, Fu Zhong, and even the Old Ancestor, Fu Ji. All are dead!"

"Hiss..."

Once these words were spoken, everyone present gasped.

As fellow transcendent forces in the Northern Region, Heavenly God Mountain and Fu Wang Palace had many interactions.

Earlier, when they passed by, they recognized the broken ruins as the iconic buildings of Fu Wang Palace.

Originally, they just thought this place had experienced a great battle, so they went forward to investigate what happened.

Never did they expect that the result obtained would be the total annihilation of Fu Wang Palace.

This was truly shocking.

An Elder said in a deep voice: "Fu Wang Palace was able to stand as one of the four transcendent forces because its own strength was extremely impressive, plus their Old Ancestor, Fu Ji, was above the Three Yang stage."

"Even if my Heavenly God Mountain faced them, we would have to be extremely cautious."

"I wonder what kind of expert could actually wipe them out completely?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's hearts grew heavy.

Originally, they thought this time's competition for the True Demon Inheritance would emerge from among the four transcendent forces.

They did not expect the situation to be much more complex than they had imagined.

At this time, an Elder stood up and said: "Sect Master, it seems we must put our meeting with North Demon Cave on the agenda!"

Not long ago, North Demon Cave sent a message proposing to form an Alliance with Heavenly God Mountain.

Both sides would advance and retreat together, jointly compete for the True Demon Inheritance, suppress other forces first, and then each use their own methods to vie for it.

Regarding this proposal, the people of Heavenly God Mountain were somewhat dismissive.

The strong naturally have the dignity of the strong.

They at Heavenly God Mountain were confident that even among countless forces, they had a sixty percent chance of obtaining that True Demon Inheritance.

But the tragedy of Fu Wang Palace's destruction made everyone consider the Alliance.

Ling Tian took a deep breath.

"I will send a message to North Demon Cave to discuss the terms of cooperation!"

...

On the other side!

The temporary encampment of North Demon Cave.

The Five Vein Leaders were all present.

Everyone was discussing their gains during this period.

In Demon City, Opportunities were everywhere.

With their strength, they naturally had substantial gains.

But on everyone's faces, there was not much happiness.

Instead, they were all frowning, looking troubled.

Inside the tent!

The Crimson Demon leader, Chi Fang, said in a deep voice: "It has been half a month since we entered Demon City."

"Yet, let alone the True Demon Inheritance, we haven't even seen a shadow of it."

"If this continues, our situation will likely not be optimistic."

On the bench, the other leaders' expressions darkened slightly.

They were absolutely certain that Bai Ling must already be in the place of the Legacy.

Although most Legacies would set up trials.

The duration of these trials was set according to the owner's mood and varied in length.

If one encountered some difficult trials, three to five years was not impossible.

But they had to prepare for the worst.

Once Bai Ling successfully obtained the True Demon Inheritance, they would inevitably face a bloodbath and reckoning.

No one dared to entrust their own livelihood to luck.

Therefore, with each passing day, the torment in their hearts increased by a fraction.

At this time, the leader of the Blue Demon lineage said: "Previously, we proposed an Alliance with Heavenly God Mountain."

"Has the other party replied?"

"If we can pull them into the same camp, whether it's searching for the True Demon Inheritance or dealing with subsequent changes, we will have an extra layer of assistance."

As soon as the words fell.

The communication Jade Slip on the Crimson Demon leader Chi Fang's body stirred.

When he saw the message on the communication Jade Slip clearly, his face lit up with joy.

"There is news from Heavenly God Mountain!"

"They wish to form an Alliance with our North Demon Cave!"

"Right now, they are asking for our location!"

This news, for the leaders of North Demon Cave, could be considered a rare piece of good news.

Since arriving at Demon City, their journey had not been smooth.

With Heavenly God Mountain as an ally, even if the subsequent changes in the situation exceeded expectations, they could deal with it more calmly and be more at ease.

After the leader of the Crimson Devil lineage, Chi Fang, sent over the location of their encampment.

Having agreed on the meeting time with them, he immediately greeted the other leaders: "Heavenly God Mountain will arrive in two hours. Let us prepare to welcome our guests!"

Following the leaders' words.

North Demon Cave arranged an open-air banquet in an open space among the mountains.

When the wine and food were ready, amidst everyone's waiting, the forces of Heavenly God Mountain arrived in a grand procession from the horizon.

If the meeting of the two great Northern Region transcendent forces to discuss an Alliance were to spread, it would likely cause quite a stir in this Demon City.

Of course, the people currently in Demon City were all diligently searching for Secret Realms, looking for the place of the True Demon Inheritance, vying for Opportunities, and snatching good fortune, busy to their hearts' content, rarely casting their gazes toward the outside world.

Naturally, they did not know that the situation in Demon City was changing three times a day.

First, the Twelve Demon Generals were expanding the forces under their command at a snowballing speed.

Then, the two great transcendent forces intended to join forces.

At this moment, the high-ranking members of Heavenly God Mountain and North Demon Cave were meeting!

First, they exchanged pleasantries and took their seats.

Then, they engaged in some consolations. After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, they finally entered the main topic.
