Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 187 The Demon Realm is Empty

This is precisely the biggest reason why Tengxie wants to send these people away. These people, whose impression of him as "the most despicable vanguard officers" is deeply ingrained, are difficult to make absolutely loyal to him. If these people were as powerful as Tunfo and Shesheng, they might be worth gradually winning over.

However, the strength of these people makes them too cost-effective. Teng Xie doesn't want to waste his energy and resources on them. Wouldn't it be better to save his energy and resources to create stronger and absolutely loyal warriors?

"The demon, Huang Quan Diaoming, is a top-tier swordsman in the demon realm. He narrowly missed becoming a vanguard general by a hair's breadth."

Yes, this slight difference is what made Tengxie's original body struggle to win against Huangquan's life back then.

Xi Cheng Fengliuzi is resourceful and cunning, while Yu Changong excels at disguise and infiltration. These three are the leaders, and there are others as well.

Teng Xie conjured up another roster and handed it to Xi Mie Tianlai, along with civil officials such as Yu Shi Xiang and Xiao Feng Chen, and a group of military generals such as Ren Mian Guan, Shura Xie Zi, Zhan Lu Ya Cha, and Da Li Wan. This roster was enough for the demon to command 100,000 troops and all the necessary provisions and supplies.

"And the intelligence network of Penglai remains fully open to the demons. All facilities in the Hall of Longevity and the Blood Spider Forest are undamaged and can be used for garrisoning troops. Alternatively, the demons may choose another location for their troops. What do you think, demons?"

"this----"

When Xi Mie Tianlai heard this, he felt a sense of unreality and thought to himself, "You really gave it to me?"

Tengxie: You insist.

Xi Mie Tianlai truly didn't expect Teng Xie to give him so much. It seems that the Demon Ancestor is indeed a man of his word. With a single order, even Teng Xie must strictly follow it without any compromise.

or.

"Commander, how can I accept having so many generals and troops under my command?"

Xi Mie Tianlai thought to himself, what if the Demon Realm wants to sideline him? They might give him a title, then use his banner while doing things that belong to the Demon Realm, and not listen to his commands at all?

Tengxie nodded, and suddenly a faint pressure rose up, releasing his sense of taste, or tongue awareness, or speech. His voice rang in the ears of every demon like a great bell, and imprinted in the hearts of the generals like a law.

"The Demon Ancestor has issued a decree that the Demon Lord has held back the fault line for hundreds of years, which has been a great favor to the Demon Realm. Therefore, the Demon Realm will fully support the Demon Lord. From now on, you will be under the Demon Lord's command and will only obey the Demon Lord's orders. The Demon Realm will no longer give you any orders."

And any actions you take from now on will have nothing to do with the Demon Realm.

Upon hearing this, all the generals were terrified, realizing that Teng Xielang had become so powerful.

But that's not the point. The point is that the Demon Ancestor has decreed that they should completely submit to the command of the Extinction Heaven and have nothing to do with the Demon Realm from now on.

The generals were somewhat bewildered, but Teng Xie's power forced them to obey. They could only kneel on one knee and say in unison, "From now on, we will obey the Demon's orders."

Xi Mie Tianlai had to admit that this scene made him feel extremely happy; he really hadn't expected to gain so much.

"I will remember your kindness, General Zhan."

"No, this is what the demon deserves. Ren Chenfu will be responsible for the handover with the demon afterwards. If the demon has any questions, he can come to me at any time."

Thank you.

After exchanging a few more words, Xi Mie Tianlai and Ren Chenfu led their generals away from the main hall. Subsequently, the military headquarters' provisions, supplies, and all resources, along with a group of generals and 100,000 troops, all left the Demon Realm and stationed themselves at the Hall of Longevity—the Hall of Longevity was once again strong and well-equipped.

Of course, Xi Mie Tian Lai will not use the name of the Hall of Longevity, but how he plans, how he lays out his plans, and how he acts are all his own business.

It's just the few of us left again. This is a bit like when the Demon Lord moved the Demon Palace.

In the vast hall, only Teng Xie, Tun Fo, She Sheng, and Dao Wen remained. Tun Fo couldn't help but say, "The War Commander's support for the demons truly surprises me."

Tengxie curled his lips. "This is the king's will, and I will naturally obey his orders without the slightest carelessness."

Upon hearing this, Tunfo's heart stirred. He knew of the existence of the Demon Ancestor, but he had never been to the Heavenly Demon Pool, let alone knew that the Demon Ancestor could directly convey his will to the Demon Realm.

He couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty has such high regard for the Demon, but the Demon does indeed possess such strength."

Tengxie then spoke up, "Tunfo, you, me, Shesheng, and Qingwu, we are all young demons, and we have just mastered our skills before being entrusted with a critical mission and thrown into the most intense war. We know too little about the history of the demon realm."

However, now that you are the God of War of the Military Council, you have the authority to access more information in the Divine Command Codex. Study hard and enrich yourself.

However, there is one thing you must remember: do not question the emperor in any way, nor should you try to guess his intentions. That would be a great disrespect to the emperor.

"Your subordinate will keep in mind the commander's teachings."

Tunfo bowed respectfully, but a thought struck him. It seemed that the Demon Realm held many deeper secrets, and that supreme being had even rendered Tengxie powerless.

Absolute respect for the sovereign—General, please forgive my attempt to fathom His Majesty's intentions, but what are your true thoughts?

the other side.

Just when the Demon Realm was undergoing a major change, even a dramatic upheaval.

A place called Cold Peak and Crescent Moon.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a wide platform. A waterfall cascades down from the mountaintop into a deep pool. Not far away, there is a stone table carved with a chessboard. On a stone stool, sits a refined and profound scholar with a sickly face.

"Cough, cough cough cough————"

The scholar seemed quite ill; he suddenly coughed, then looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "One move too late, one step too slow, fate, fate, cough cough cough—"

On the other side.

The place where Tengxie and Suzhen Huan met in secret.

Su Huanzhen arrived as promised, smiled slightly at Teng Xie who had already arrived, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "During this time, I am grateful for the care and attention you have given me, General Zhan."

Before he could finish speaking, Teng Xie flashed to the other side. "Sage Su, are you going to be grateful to me again and admire me immensely? Let me tell you, you'll really lose me if you keep doing this."

"ha."

Su Huanzhen chuckled softly, "General Zhan is teasing me again. I truly miss those times."

Okay, you're making it sound like we're facing a life-or-death separation—oh, so you really did come back from the dead.

After a few jokes, Tengxie got down to business: how was Brahma doing?

Su Huanzhen frowned and said, "Senior Yi Ye Shu's condition is extremely bad. Bodhisattva Jing Liuli will do everything she can to treat him. For a long time to come, neither of you will be able to show yourselves in the martial world."

Teng Xie nodded. This was different from his memory. In his memory, Su Huanzhen was badly tricked by Liu Huo Canglong, and Yi Ye Shu continued to uphold the banner of righteousness and deal with Liu Huo Canglong and Xi Mie Tian.
