Chapter 415 The Immortal Points the Way! (Please Subscribe)
In order not to put pressure on the thousands of humans, Chen Yi and the Second Master did not allow too many people to come and watch this time.

Even the patriarchs like Baishan and Hongtian only came in the form of divine will.

In order to observe how many humans braved the dangers of crossing the Nether River to reach the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.

As for the area surrounding the new city, the soldiers stationed there have been reassigned to nearby garrison cities and fortified cities.

Only the Demon Court, having learned of the news, had its great demon kings use their mental perception to check the situation here.

However, all they could see was the newly set up protective array activated on the banks of the Nether River and above the new city.

Inside the Demon Emperor's Palace at this moment.

The Demon Queen of Wind and Moon, accompanied by several old ancestors of the Demon Court, and great demon kings such as Hu Bayi and Lu Chen, stood on the main hall, looking towards the new city.

"Chen Yi is indeed heading to the Tai Zhou Mountain region."

Even though Fox Bayi couldn't sense what Chen Yi and the others were saying on the new city, he could vaguely discern their identities with the naked eye.

Lu Chen snorted coldly: "Isn't he worried that after he leaves, we will launch another war and wipe out the human race?"

Fox Bayi chuckled, "Brother Lu Chen, it's best to avoid saying such things in the future."

"Even setting aside the contract that was just signed with the human race, the current strength of our Demon Court and the human race is no longer enough to suppress them as before."

"Besides, we have given so much compensation to the human race according to that contract, even the Demon Emperor's Palace right here..."

Fox Bayi didn't finish his sentence, but all the great demon kings already understood.

After all, although the Demon Emperor's Palace is still magnificent and spectacular, the blood cores of the great demon kings and demons that were previously laid on the ground have all disappeared.

It has already been deducted to compensate for the losses suffered by the human race for nearly a thousand years.

"Hehe... Our Demon Court is truly becoming more and more decadent. A thousand years ago, we were rebelled against and driven to the Hundred Thousand Mountains by the human race, Taiyi and others. A thousand years later, even on this battlefield of Taizhou Mountain, we have lost our advantage."

Hearing Lu Chen's sarcastic words, which were not genuinely funny, Hu Bayi looked at Fengyue Yaohuang in front of him and remained silent.

The other great demon kings also remained silent, all staring coldly at the new human city in the distance.

long silence.

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon slightly turned his head, scanned the room, and after his cold eyes met those of each of the great demon kings, he spoke in a calm tone:

There's a saying among humans: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

"As the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, whether things decline or not is my responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many great demon kings were slightly taken aback.

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon took on everything voluntarily, which seemed normal, but in a place like the Demon Court, it seemed quite unusual.

It must be understood that for countless years, the Demon Court has been a place where the strong prey on the weak, with a strict hierarchy. Even a demon general from a small demon stronghold can have the power of life and death over his subordinates, let alone the existence of the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor.

From her perspective, even if she were truly wrong, almost no demon emperor would admit to it.

Fox Bay hesitated before speaking, "Your Majesty..."

Before it could finish speaking, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon raised his hand and said, "For countless years, my Demon Court has suppressed the human race of Tianyuan Continent. Do you know why the situation has deteriorated so drastically in the last few thousand years?"

Upon asking the question, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon immediately replied:
"Because the demon emperors and great demon kings of all generations were not ambitious, thinking that they could enslave all living beings and that neither humans nor barbarians would resist."

"Just arrogance."

These words not only belittled the demon emperors and demon ancestors of all generations, but also included the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor himself in this category.

The great demon kings, including Fox Bayi, exchanged glances and their expressions calmed down, as did Deer Chen from before.

It grinned, but couldn't say anything more.

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon is right.

For thousands of years, the Demon Court has gone from enslaving all living beings, including humans, to being suppressed by humans. This is not just the fault of the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor, but the fault of countless demons throughout the Demon Court.

Looking at the silent demon kings around him, Fox Bayi knelt on one knee and bowed, saying:

"We dare not, nor can we, refute what Your Majesty has said."

"The current situation is unfavorable to our Demon Court. The rise of the human race is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, Chen Yi has already made contact with an ancestor in the Tai Zhou Mountain region and made him a support for the human race, which already poses a threat to our Demon Court."

"If his cultivation and supernatural abilities improve further after he goes to the Tai Zhou Mountain realm for training, I'm afraid our Demon Court will..."

At this point, Fox Bayi paused, lowered his head deeply, tucked his tail behind him, and said in a deep voice:

Please enlighten me!

Upon seeing this, the other great demon kings hesitated for a moment before kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads slightly.

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon did not turn around, but he was well aware of the situation behind him. His cold face showed no emotion.

Her eyes were fixed on the figures above the new city in the distance.

Chen Yi, the Second Master, Daoist Zeyang, and others were walking out of the new city and standing on the banks of the Nether River.

After a while.

The Demon Queen of Wind and Moon parted her lips slightly and said coldly, "It's just a temporary setback. We still have a chance."

"So what if Chen Yi and those thousand exceptionally talented humans go to the Tai Zhou Mountain realm? We can do it too."

"Fox Bai, pass down the order: tomorrow, select ten thousand brave warriors to cross the Nether River and head to the Tai Zhou Mountain region. The goal is singular—to find the secret caves left behind by the ancient demon court ancestors at all costs!"

The Demon Queen of Wind and Moon knew the location of the Ancient Demon Court, but she knew that relying solely on those methods and magical treasures was not enough; she needed to find more of the ancient demons' legacies.

Only in this way can the Demon Court grow rapidly and hold its own in the struggle against the human race.

That's right.

The Demon Emperor's current goal is not to suppress the human race, but to be on equal footing with them in the future.

At least for the time being, she knew very well that as long as Chen Yi was around, the human race would no longer be at the mercy of the demon court as before.

Fox Bayi paused for a moment, then raised his voice in response, "I will obey Your Majesty's command!"

Although the order was given hastily, it represented a significant change.

For thousands of years, the Demon Court has seemingly focused its efforts on blocking and suppressing the human race, but upon closer examination, isn't it also a case of stagnation and self-imposed isolation?

Humans cannot cross the Demon Court to reach Mount Taizhou, but the Demon Court has no intention of crossing the Nether River to reach Mount Taizhou.

In contrast, the human race...

Despite having just experienced a great battle and just gained access to the Tai Zhou Mountain region, they dared to directly arrange for a thousand humans to cross the Nether River.

Compared to the other two, it's easy to see that many of the demon kings in the Demon Court are cowards who are afraid of death.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon spoke again: "The Barbarian Emperor has already taught you the ancient demon court's techniques and secret methods. So, in the time to come, you should cultivate diligently in order to break through."

"Furthermore, I command you not only to cultivate yourselves, but also to pass on those supernatural powers, whether to your own offspring or to other sons of the clan, to ensure that the ancient demon court's legacy is not lost."

Many powerful demon kings were taken aback upon hearing this.

In the past, they mostly cultivated by devouring the blood cores of demons with their own bloodline. Now that they have finally obtained a secret technique that can ascend to heaven, how can they share it with their sons?

Such commands do not hesitate to challenge their inherent nature.

Even Hu Bayi hesitated, "Your Majesty, the secret techniques and supernatural abilities passed down from the ancient Demon Court are all quite difficult to cultivate."

"Even if we pass it down, our sons will not be able to cultivate if their cultivation level, supernatural abilities, and divine will are insufficient."

"The Fox King is right. Take my acquisition of the Mountain-Swallowing Divine Power, for example. Even if I pass on the secret technique and have the young men cultivate it with their bloodline, the effect will be minimal."

"yes……"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon sneered, "Whether you listen or not is up to you."

"But don't blame me for not reminding you, if our Demon Court is defeated by the human race this time, there will be no more Demon Court lineage in a thousand or ten thousand years."

It’s different in the past.

Today's Demon Court is clearly no match for the power of the ancient Demon Court, so naturally it cannot leave behind any legacy.

If the Demon Court is destroyed by the human race, many years later, what those demon warriors will find will probably be some of the ancient Demon Court's legacy.

"This……"

Fox Bayi glanced at the other great demon kings and then agreed again, "I am willing to obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Of all the demons present, it valued the fox clan the most. If passing down the secret techniques and supernatural abilities could enhance the fox clan's strength, it would naturally be willing.

"We obey your command."

Seeing that the great demon kings had agreed, the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor glanced back, then snorted coldly and returned to the main hall.

After a moment, the surroundings calmed down.

Fox Bayi and the other great demon kings then got up, looked around, and then glanced at where Chen Yi and the others were before disappearing from the spot and returning to their respective palaces.

"From today onwards, I intend to go into seclusion to cultivate and will temporarily cease my involvement in the affairs of the Demon Court."

"I will teach my sons, hoping they will all rise up..."

Ignoring what the great demon kings thought, the Demon Queen arrived at the main hall and immediately noticed the half-demon princess holding a dark blue token. Her expression softened.

"And with whom are you in contact?"

Xiaolan smiled and nodded, without putting away the Xunwang Token. "Mother, my cultivation is still too low. It's a pity that I can't go to that secret realm to meet up with them this time."

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon hummed in agreement, "Then you should cultivate diligently in the coming days so that you can join them as soon as possible."

"Chen Yi is already leading the human race across the Nether River today; you are far behind him."

Xiaolan exclaimed, "Today? He's a bit too hasty. There are still many days before that secret realm opens."

"However, I do need to work harder. Within Xunwangtian, my cultivation level is the lowest. If I don't break through to the Void Realm and acquire supernatural powers, the gap between me and them will only widen."

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon nodded. "If you need anything, remember to tell me."

"I understand, Mother..."

……

On the banks of the River of the Underworld.

Chen Yi was aware of the attention from the great demon kings, including the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon, but he ignored it.

This time, unlike when he left Tianyuan Continent before, he didn't need to hide his tracks to avoid being discovered by the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor and the Demon Court.

Now that the situation between the human race and the demon court has reversed, even if he and the Second Master and others leave the human race at the same time, the demon court will not be able to inflict as much damage on the human race as before in a short period of time.

Therefore, he only needs to focus on the Nether River at present.

After everyone caught up, Chen Yi glanced around and calmly asked, "Who wants to go first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zeyang was the first to step forward, "Me."

Shen Xueying chimed in at the same time, "Me."

The two pillars of the human race who went to the Taizhou Mountain region this time were Daoist Zeyang and Shen Xueying.

Besides wanting to go further, they were still resentful of being manipulated by Daoist Ziying, so they stood out among the many pillars of power and secured the first batch of qualifications to go to Taizhou Mountain.

Chen Yi and the two gentlemen exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "Follow the method I mentioned earlier, and be careful."

"This humble Taoist priest will remember this."

Master Zeyang nodded solemnly, then came to the banks of the Nether River and gazed at the stagnant water before him.

Everyone around him then turned their attention to him.

However, no one spoke up; they just silently cheered him on.

The next moment, Daoist Zeyang moved and stepped onto the Nether River, standing in mid-air.

An invisible pressure instantly pressed down on him, followed by countless roars in his ears.

Those sounds were not the cruel, bloodthirsty roars of demons, but rather merciless, cold, and shrill screams, as if they were being subjected to endless torment.

Upon its appearance, Master Zeyang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately continued forward without stopping.

But before he could take five steps, or even a tenth of the distance across the hundred-zhang-wide Nether River, a ghostly spirit exuding a chilling aura suddenly appeared.

It has a human form, yet it is ethereal and transparent, like a slightly diluted Shadow Demon.

A pair of cold, lifeless eyes stared straight at Daoist Zeyang, as if watching to see what he was going to do.

The second gentleman stood on the shore and reminded him, "Calm your mind!"

Master Zeyang continued forward without stopping, not letting up. This ghost spirit, which had already reached the first level of supernatural power as soon as it appeared, could not stop him.

But as he took two more steps, the ghostly spirit suddenly lunged at him.

"The Daoist Art of Heaven and Earth - Imperial Decree!"

Master Zeyang's expression was solemn. He formed a hand seal and his divine will appeared. A golden light suddenly appeared and shattered the ghost spirit.

Seeing this, he walked ten zhang without hesitation. Just as he was about to take another step, a white skeleton suddenly emerged from under his feet.

It was none other than a vengeful spirit of skeletons at the third level of supernatural powers.

Chen Yi frowned slightly and said, "Leap!"

Before he could be reminded, Master Zeyang lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped straight up, crossing ten zhang once again.

At the same time, he did not forget to perform hand seals to protect himself with supernatural powers and intentions.

But as he got closer to the other side, the three-headed demon reappeared on the River of the Dead.

Moreover, their cultivation has already reached the level of the fifth realm of supernatural powers.

Master Zeyang's expression changed slightly. He slapped his waist, and three magical artifacts flew out and landed at his feet.

"Three Talents Formation!"

Taking advantage of the flashing array runes, Daoist Zeyang lightly touched the ground with his feet, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and traveled another thirty feet.

At this point, he was only twenty feet away from the opposite bank.

At that moment, Chen Yi's mental perception revealed a pair of icy eyes emerging from beneath the surface of the Nether River.

Seven Realms of Supernatural Powers!
Before he could even speak, the Spring Rain Sword at his waist was already drawn, and a sudden burst of killing intent condensed into form.

A sword intent instantly sliced ​​through the river's surface, the powerful sword intent actually carving a two-foot-deep ravine into the deathly silent Nether River.

From this side of the shore, it stretched for hundreds of feet, slashing straight at Daoist Zeyang's side.

—Swordsman IV: The Immortal's Guidance!
After the sword strike, it seemed to cause the Nether River to erupt in chaos, with several evil spirits, vengeful spirits, and zombies at the Divine Power Realm emerging one after another.

"cracking!"

Master Zeyang was slightly taken aback, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge demon skeleton suddenly emerge from the water beside him.

Without hesitation, taking advantage of the fact that the evil spirits were drawn away by Chen Yi's sword, he quickly flashed to the other side.

Moreover, he didn't stop running; after landing, he ran for another hundred feet before stopping and looking back.

But then they saw hundreds of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts at the Divine Power Realm standing on the river surface, all looking at Chen Yi on the other side.

"hiss--"

After a long while, with a hiss, the ghosts returned to the River of the Underworld one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the river returned to its deathly stillness, along with the sword intent that Chen Yi had just unleashed, which subsided.

"call……"

Seeing this, the second gentleman breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chen Yi beside him, and said:

"There is still some danger. The Three Talents Formation can only block for a breath."

Chen Yi sheathed the Spring Rain Sword and nodded, saying, "Let's work hard and protect them first."

He wasn't surprised.

Master Zeyang is a pillar of the human race, a powerful being at the seventh level of supernatural abilities, and the ghosts and monsters he has attracted to the Nether River are even more powerful.

If it were another human being below the Divine Power Realm crossing the river, the danger would likely not be so great.

"Go on, next one!"
