Driving away the leader of the demons, Wang Long finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around at the weaker High-Ranking Demons who were aimlessly fleeing, a cold smile filled with killing intent appearing on his face.
The one-sided slaughter had officially begun.
This happened several times.
Each time the Demon Clan gathered around the Purple Robed Demon Lord, they would be ambushed. Sometimes it was Wang Long and his group, and other times it was the Beast Ancestor.
By the time the Purple Robed Demon Lord finally realized that they were taking turns attacking, it was too late. When Wang Long and his group appeared, due to Song Shuping's power, the Ancient Beasts could no longer appear simultaneously. However, all the High-Ranking Demons, including those at the Demon Lord level, had already lost their fighting spirit.
When faced with enemies, they ran—not needing to outrun their foes, just needing to outrun their comrades had been deeply ingrained in their minds.
In the end, the Purple Robed Demon Lord could only sigh at the sky.
"Enough! Everyone disperse! If we flee now, perhaps some of us can escape. Continuing like this will only lead to death!"
The group of Demon Lords listened, moved to tears as they bid farewell to the Purple Robed Demon Lord.
They understood that the Purple Robed Demon Lord was risking severe punishment from Brahma Demon King upon returning to create a path for them.
"Ah!" The last Demon Lord cried out as he fell to the ground. Thunderblade vanished into thin air.
Wang Long exhaled deeply as he surveyed the surroundings. Although they had eliminated their enemies, those who remained had long since fled without a trace and were completely scattered. Even if he caught up with them, there would be little to gain—unless by sheer luck he encountered the Purple Robed Demon Lord.
Now that the main enemy had dispersed, they didn't even have time to catch their breath.
"We're unfamiliar with this area; how do we regroup with the Army? We need that Ancient Beast, but where is it? It hasn't caught up yet."
"Heh heh, how would it know they would scatter so quickly? It’s probably lazily waiting for the next wave of attacks."
Wang Long looked around: "Then forget it. Since these Demon Clan members are fleeing in all directions, I believe there won't be any strong enemies nearby. Even if there are traps or formations, they will guide us through them. Once it has rested enough, it will naturally catch up with us. Back in the secret path, we headed north; now we just need to maintain a general direction southward; we should be fine."
Song Shuping nodded: "Alright then, you all go ahead. I'll head directly to meet with the Beast Ancestor. Once our strengths are restored, we'll immediately regroup with you."
As they continued along the mountain path, they once again fell into an eerie silence. Those who had fled were not foolish enough to run back this way.
However, it was strange that there were not even a few patrolling demons in sight.
No matter what, they must have already realized that they had intruded into the Demon's Swamp. Even if they were confident in their knowledge of the terrain and environment here, it was impossible for them to have no reaction at all. They had been pursuing the Purple Robed Demon Lord and his companions for a long time. They might not have reacted immediately, but it was unlikely that they had no scouts at all.
What was even more troubling was that they were hoping to encounter some scouts from the Demon Clan!
With their strength, capturing a few alive to gather intelligence would be a piece of cake. Even if these Demon Clan members were tough and could withstand the Shen Walking Dragon Technique, they could still obtain valuable information from their direction of exploration and conversations among their own people.
Now, they could only leave signals for Song Shuping with the spiritual tools they crafted as they headed south again.
The Purple Robed Demon Lord leaped over a hill, and after walking about thirty miles further, he would reach the Endless Abyss of the Demon's Swamp. At that point, he would be completely safe.
Reflecting on the outcome of this battle left him both angry and aggrieved.
His commands during this battle had been quite standard, but unexpectedly, that Ancient Beast had been "accidentally" unleashed by someone and had miraculously appeared near them, delivering a devastating blow!
"Purple Robe, why are you in such a sorry state? Where are your warriors? Were you not supposed to guard the secret path?"
Just as he caught his breath, the Purple Robed Demon Lord looked up and was stunned by the sight before him.
Dozens of experts from the Demon Clan flew into view, with the weakest among them being at the Demon Lord level. Leading them was the recently favored newcomer of Lord Brahma Demon King, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord!
"Nine-Headed Demon Lord, how did you get here? And how could you mobilize so many Demon Lord-level experts? Who gave you such authority?"
It was no wonder that the Purple Robed Demon Lord had a grim expression towards the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. As one of the few elders in the Demon Clan, he was a natural rival to the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. More importantly, all these Demon Lord-level experts before him were the hard-earned assets accumulated by Lord Brahma Demon King over many years!
The divine beings had always thought that after driving their Demon Clan into such a harsh environment, they could rest easy, allowing their recovery speed to lag far behind that of the divine beings.
However, they did not know how much hardship and patience the demons had endured during this time. After acquiring methods to tame beasts, they could train using their powers, significantly accelerating the progress of ordinary demons and resulting in a large number of newly promoted Demon Lords!
Yet such a formation should naturally be led by Lord Brahma Demon King himself.
What on earth had happened during this time?
"Authority? This is not the time to quibble over such matters! If I were you, I would at least remember two points: first, without Lord Brahma Demon King's orders, I would not be able to mobilize them at all. Second, with great enemies before us, we need to consider how to defeat them first rather than engage in these power struggles!"
"You!" Being publicly reprimanded by someone who used to be a "little brother" in front of most of the Demon Lords infuriated the Purple Robed Demon Lord!
"What about me? You still haven't answered my earlier question. Purple Robe, where are your subordinates? I remember that to be cautious, Lord Brahma Demon King ordered you to take four Demon Lords to meet up with those stationed there. Why have you returned alone?"
"They, they will come back. We are just temporarily separated!" Hearing the relentless questioning from the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, the pain in the Purple Robed Demon Lord's heart was once again exposed. He felt a sudden emptiness inside; how could he still have the confidence to question him?
"Oh? Temporarily separated." The Nine-Headed Demon Lord immediately caught on to the little tricks in the Purple Robed Demon Lord's words and sneered, "It seems that you, Purple Robed Demon Lord, have ultimately disappointed Lord Brahma Demon King. What a pity! If possible, I would really like to see how you fought this battle! So, do you still have any objections now?"
From beginning to end, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord did not respond to the Purple Robed Demon Lord's words at all; instead, he used strong commands to suppress him. The Purple Robed Demon Lord's helpless compromise represented that the Nine-Headed Demon Lord had now become the genuine second-in-command of the Demon Clan, second only to one and above countless others!
"I have no objections. Since this time it is Lord Brahma Demon King's order, I have nothing to say. However, I still have one thing unclear and hope that you, Nine-Headed Demon Lord, will not let past personal grievances inflate this defeat infinitely. Moreover, with our current major defeat ahead, sending reinforcements might instead trap you as well; the enemies there are extremely powerful, and more importantly, they have already rescued the Ancient Beasts!"
"Oh?" At this moment, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord finally showed a look of interest. After thinking for a while, he praised, "Truly worthy of Wang Long! No wonder he can achieve such results; I am not as good as him. However, this time we are prepared against an unprepared enemy and have an absolute advantage in strength; we shall see how they can turn the tables."
"Prepared against an unprepared enemy..." The Purple Robed Demon Lord was taken aback. Listening to the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's tone, did he already anticipate the arrival of these enemies? If that were the case, then why was Lord Brahma Demon King not present? Wasn't he supposed to have gone out with the Nine-Headed Demon Lord?
However, given his current status, the Purple Robed Demon Lord did not dare to ask further. Being a clever person, he knew that even if he wanted to counterattack against the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, he would have to wait until Lord Brahma Demon King returned.
Now let's see what tricks this Nine-Headed Demon Lord can play.
I hope... heh heh, you don't also face a major defeat this time; otherwise, let's see how you can win over Lord Brahma Demon King's favor!
