187: Take the demon head of Fengmoyuan as blood food
Several days later.
This protracted war, which had lasted for half a year, temporarily subsided due to the arrival of various major factions.
This battle also let everyone know the terror of the demons.
In the several days of fighting, apart from the Third Region, other regions had successively suffered casualties ranging from one hundred thousand to one million soldiers.
Some demons could no longer be called demonic cultivators; they were true demons, far more cruel and bloodthirsty than demonic cultivators.
The Seven Kill Demon Emperor that Cao Nie had killed back then was a demon by nature, not a demonic cultivator.
Inside the Third Region.
Cao Nie arranged for one million soldiers to set up a long defensive line at several major gaps.
The remaining three million soldiers set up camp ten miles away.
This distance could hardly be considered a distance at all.
Even the weakest Po Wang Realm cultivator could arrive within two breaths.
For experts at the Asking Dao Realm and above, they could arrive in an instant.
Because the various regions were fighting on their own, Cao Nie had not sent troops to support other regions over these past few days, which was something agreed upon from the very beginning.
As experts, no one was willing to submit to anyone else.
It was easy for chaos to ensue if they gathered together.
Fighting separately ensured better coordination during wartime.
For instance, the Third Region was led by the Nine Radiance Divine Dynasty, with other weaker families, sects, and dynasty forces acting as support.
It is worth mentioning that in the following few days, nearly one million more cultivators arrived at the Third Region.
The factions these cultivators belonged to were not within the territory of the Nine Radiance Divine Dynasty, which was why they arrived later.
Upon learning that the Third Region had temporarily quelled the war, these cultivators were all shocked.
They had already prepared for a life-or-death battle, and in the end, you tell me that an awesome existence had suppressed and killed one hundred thousand demons with a single palm, making the demons in the Third Region afraid to come out for the time being.
Then what was all their anxiety along the way for? A joke?
Nighttime.
Inside the Grand Commander's main tent where Cao Nie was located, Cao Jian and the others took their seats in turn.
"Clan Leader, you called us here so late, is there something major?"
Cao An was a bit curious; he had just been about to embrace Eunuch Chu Dong and Ji Ziming to rest, when who would have known that Cao Nie would summon him with a voice transmission.
Cao Nie scanned the people present and said in a deep voice, "I have a path that can allow our Cao Clan to rapidly grow stronger. I called you all here because I want to hear your opinions."
"Clan Leader."
Cao Jian stood up abruptly and patted his chest, saying, "No need to say anything more. I, Cao Jian, will unconditionally obey your orders. Even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, I will not refuse."
"Sycophant."
Cao An curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, then immediately put on a smiling face, "Just give the order. Leave other matters to me, Cao An, and I guarantee I will handle them perfectly for you, Clan Leader."
As he spoke, his eyes rolled, he leaned in closer, and lowered his voice, "Clan Leader, did you set your eyes on some young lady from another family again? Take me with you. I'll keep watch at the door for you."
Cao Nie slapped Cao An on the head with a large palm and scolded, "You old pervert, what kind of person do you take me for?"
He turned his head and looked at Cao Jian and the others, his face full of righteousness, "Tell me, am I, the Head of the Clan, that kind of person?"
The several elders lowered their heads, observing their noses and hearts, and not a single one dared to make a sound.
Nonsense!
Who doesn't know that you, Clan Leader Cao, love snatching other people's wives the most?
In your backyard, there are dozens of women, and half of them are other people's wives.
The rest are either the daughters of those wives, or the mothers of those wives.
Calculating it this way, apart from the men, you haven't spared a single person in their families.
And now you actually want them to judge?
Is there any law left?
Is there any justice left?
"Enough."
Cao Nie tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and scanned the crowd, "Let's talk business."
The several elders' expressions became solemn, they straightened their backs, and looked at Cao Nie with focused gazes.
Cao Nie cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "I discovered... that those demons in the Demon Sealing Abyss are exceptionally effective for cultivation."
Seeing the surprise on their faces, he continued, "If I let my Cao Clan disciples devour these demons, their cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. You several might even be able to ascend to immortality in one go."
