Free Web NovelChapter 572: Chapter 394: Fox Race Great Demon, Commander Candidate! (Double-Length)
The nine enormous tails immediately retracted, and on the mountain peak, they all retreated into the body of a beautiful woman.
The woman wore a gauzy white dress, exuding a powerful aura that intimidated the surrounding demon crowd, preventing them from approaching her mountain peak or daring to converse with her.
Now her status was that of a Great Demon, enough to make all demons submit.
Even fox demons who once shared her level now showed her deference.
Xi Yanxue was very pleased with the scene of all demons submitting to her, a captivating smile appearing on her flawless cheeks.
However, this smile quickly disappeared.
Her gaze swept around, yet she did not see the person she valued most!
"Someone come!"
Soon, a fox demon from the mountain hurriedly approached, admitting fault even before she could ask.
"Madam, we are utterly culpable for not keeping watch over the young master..."
Xi Yanxue’s eyes turned frosty, and the entire mountain peak was suddenly filled with demonic wind.
"Where is she!"
"She went, went to Yun Province..." the fox demon cautiously reported.
He quickly took out the letter left by Su Qingqing, presenting it together.
Xi Yanxue opened it and swiftly scanned through the contents, her originally tense expression slightly relaxed.
In the letter, Su Qingqing truthfully explained the purpose of her journey, which was merely to find Song Changming, not hiding anything, but going to the Su Family to find her father.
This made Xi Yanxue somewhat accepting.
"Did she arrive safely?" Xi Yanxue continued to ask.
"Yes, yes, Madam rest assured, inside and outside the Cui Bai Main City, we always have spies watching, and now the young master has successfully reunited with that young human." The fox demon hastily nodded.
If something happened to Su Qingqing, if she met an untimely end, he wouldn’t dare to stand here and admit fault today.
Given Madam’s importance to her daughter, those involved would surely face dire consequences, and the ineffective fox demons of the same race wouldn’t be an exception!
"Yanxue, it’s been many years, how have you been..."
Beyond the mountain, several other immensely powerful presences appeared, causing the demon crowd to scatter.
"Go gather the Demon Generals, and wait for me to return, to head to Yun Province." Xi Yanxue instructed, then vanished from the mountain peak to meet several powerful beings, the Demon Race elders, in the sky.
In the past, she, like the many demons, could only bow her head in submission to these few.
But now, she was qualified to speak with them as equals!
Ascending to a Great Demon brought a significant rise in status within the Demon Race, it was not a simple matter.
...
Yun Province, Cui Bai Dao.
As the black brilliance again rose with the morning, countless people praying for the sun’s return were undoubtedly disappointed.
They knew it would be a repetition of previous days, another distressing day.
Southeast of Cui Bai Dao, a great city lay in ruins.
The ruins were almost entirely covered in blood.
Crumbled high walls, fallen banners, shattered weaponry...
Many demon beasts passed by, bowing their heads either to seek hiding humans or to lick the still fresh, delicious blood.
All these hellish scenes told a sorrowful song of suffering.
Above the great city, flocks of birds and beasts flew, and amidst them, a crimson figure, after savoring the vast blood qi of the city, turned their demon body more solid, seemingly undergoing a transformation.
"This is wonderful, human blood..."
The crimson figure raised their head, red hair naturally cascading, feeling their own transformation, lost in intoxication.
"Unfortunately, there’s no Grandmaster Blood..." The woman in red glanced at the already shrunken corpse in her hand.
Her long, sharp fingers deeply pierced the corpse’s chest, draining the last bit of nourishment.
The corpse’s eyes remained wide open, with a complex expression still lingered on the face.
A mix of rage, despair, and grief...
The gilt armor upon his body was shattered piece by piece, and the Marshal’s cloak on his back fluttered to the ground with the wind.
The woman in red suddenly turned, her beautiful eyes glowing with a demonic red shine, looking towards the heart of Cui Bai Dao.
The most significant city, guarded layer upon layer like a heart!
"It’s been long enough, it’s about time..."
Cui Bai Dao, another great city had fallen.
And with each city’s fall, not only did it bring massive death, but also vast swathes of human land were annexed by the Demon Race, becoming Demon Land.
Not only was this true for Cui Bai Dao, but other parts of Yun Province also saw over half their great cities fall, with many main cities teetering on the brink of collapse.
In some regions, the Demon Race had completely taken over, leaving the populace in unbearable misery, fleeing desperately from their homes in the face of impending death!
By contrast, the overall situation in Cui Bai Dao was actually relatively decent.
As a southern border territory, it had managed to resist the Demon Race’s army for over half a year.
Only four cities had fallen, seemingly single-handedly safeguarding the southern security of the entire Yun Province!
Yet despite this.
Main city, Military Department, Hu Tomb still pressed their foreheads, headache visible as they reviewed the reports presented.
With the fall of Donghua City, another Military Commander fell.
This was the second Marshal to fall in the six months since the arrival of Black Brilliance.
The Military Department had a total of forty-eight Marshals, each wielding considerable power, akin to forty-eight pillars, supporting the top combat strength of the entire department!
The death of each one was an immense loss to the Military Department.
Currently, the ominous signs showed no end, and such heavy casualties were not something Hu Tomb wished to see.
"Marshal, the entire Nineteenth Army was annihilated, the blow from this event is too great, and I believe we need to quickly select a suitable Main Flag Master as we did before, so the rebuilding of the Nineteenth Army can be prioritized."
A senior official from the Military Department directly advised.
