How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Southern Region, Canglan City.

The Ling and Fu families, along with dozens of large and small families in Canglan City, finally wiped out hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts after two days of hard work.

It was evening.

Meanwhile, at the Fu family mansion, everyone was toasting and chatting happily.

"Hahaha... We were able to resolve the monster tide so quickly thanks to Senior Ling and all the fellow cultivators of the Ling family!"

"Come, let all of us from the Fu family toast Senior Ling and all the fellow Daoists from the Ling family," the Fu family's patriarch said with a smile.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Ancestor, all members of the Fu family picked up their wine cups, stood up, and bowed slightly to the Fourth Ancestor of the Ling family and the elders: "Thank you all for coming to our aid, seniors. This cup is a toast to you all."

After saying that, everyone tilted their heads back and drank.

The fourth patriarch of the Ling family, along with several elders, also picked up their wine cups and drank.

"Hahaha... Young friends from the Fu family, you are too kind. Slaying demons and eliminating evil is what we should do. Our Ling family is just doing our bit." The fourth patriarch of the Ling family replied with a smile.

"Ah, Senior Ling, you are mistaken. If it weren't for the help of Senior Ling and all of you fellow Daoists, the innocent civilians around Canglan City would have suffered heavy casualties and incalculable losses. I thank you all on behalf of those people." After saying this, the patriarch of the Fu family bowed deeply.

Upon hearing this, the fourth patriarch of the Ling family laughed loudly: "Hahaha... This is nothing more than a small favor. Young friend of the Fu family, my Ling family will observe Canglan City for another day. If we are certain that there is nothing unusual in the Monster Forest, we will set off to return to the Ling family."

"Brother Fu, rest assured, we will go to the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest tomorrow to check and make sure there are no worries about this demon beast tide before returning to the Ling family," an elder of the Ling family echoed.

The eldest patriarch of the Fu family quickly bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you all."

"Hey! Brother Fu, you flatter me. Come, let's continue drinking."

Meanwhile, deep within the Monster Forest...

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Dragon Emperor sat on a high throne, with nineteen quasi-emperor demons sitting on either side below, along with a host of demon emperors, lesser demon emperors, and demon kings.

(The Demon Emperor corresponds to the Great Sage of the human race, the Lesser Demon Emperor corresponds to the Saint King, the Demon King corresponds to the Saint, and the first to ninth ranks correspond to the first nine realms of the human race.)

The Dragon Emperor swept his gaze over the demons below and said sternly, "You have all seen it these past two days. Those damned humans have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of our demons in just two days. Tomorrow, we will take one of their cities to make up for our losses."

Before the demons could respond, the Dragon Emperor continued, "In this battle, who among you is willing to be the vanguard?"

The Soul-Devouring Sparrow stood up first, bowed, and replied: "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, Canglan City is currently being guarded by the Fu family. According to the information we have gathered, the Fu family's ancestor is a Saint King. In this battle, we only need to send a Demon Emperor as the vanguard."

The Devouring Python also stood up and echoed, "The Soul-Devouring Sparrow is right. Sending one Demon Emperor and a few Lesser Demon Emperors will suffice. We must not send Quasi-Emperors. If a Quasi-Emperor joins the battle, I fear the human race will mistakenly believe that our demon race is going to war with the human race."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor above immediately showed displeasure: "Hmph! All you ever talk about is the human race. Are you really that afraid of humans?"

Seeing the Dragon Emperor's anger, the other three clan leaders also hurriedly stood up.

The seven-tailed fox responded, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It is not that we are afraid of the human race, but that the human race is currently too powerful for our demon race to handle. If we were to go to war with the human race, our demon race would surely be defeated. Only when our demon race produces a few great emperors will it be time for our demon race to dominate the Xuanhuang Continent."

"The Seven-Tailed Fox is right! Dragon Emperor, if we send a Quasi-Emperor to participate in the war, it means that our demon race will start a Quasi-Emperor war with the human race. In the end, it might even provoke the human race's Great Emperor. This is absolutely unacceptable!" the Crimson Flame Tiger chimed in.

"Alright! Alright! I was just saying, why are you all so nervous?" The Dragon Emperor himself knew that now was not the time to fall out with the human race.

The seven-tailed fox and the Devouring Python clan leaders thought to themselves, "How can we not be nervous? That's a quasi-emperor battle. If things go wrong, we might even attract the Great Emperor of the human race. If that happens, the demon race will really be finished."

At this moment, the Primordial Bull stood up and shouted: "Lord Dragon Emperor, I, the Primordial Bull, am not afraid of any human race. As long as the human race dares to provoke me, I dare to annihilate the human race. My Primordial Bull clan is willing to send a demon emperor as the vanguard, and swear to take Canglan City for Lord Dragon Emperor with my life."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor's gloomy face broke into a smile: "Hahaha...good...good indeed, the Barbarian Bull Clan. Then this time, your Barbarian Bull Clan will be the vanguard, and the other four clans will each send two Lesser Demon Emperors and five Demon Kings to assist you."

The Dragon Emperor looked at the Bull Clan Chief with satisfaction. Among all the demons, the Bull Clan Chief was the one he was most pleased with.

Upon hearing this, the demons immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will certainly arrange for all demons to assist the Demon King of the Wild Bull Clan."

The Dragon Emperor nodded and continued, "How are your preparations for the current demon beast army?"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Python immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, we have integrated the entire Demon Beast Forest in the past two days. Currently, our demon race can mobilize 60 billion demon troops at any time, not even counting the low-level demon beasts."

"To ensure a foolproof attack on Canglan City, we plan to deploy an army of 500,000 demon beasts. The demon beasts we send out this time are at least fourth-tier, and there are even a few ninth-tier great demons. In addition, our four clans will send a total of 20 demon kings and 8 lesser demon emperors, plus the demon emperor of the Savage Bull Clan. It can be said that taking Canglan City will be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor nodded in agreement: "Very good, then proceed as you have arranged. Immediately assemble the army at the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, and we will officially attack Canglan City early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

After the demons withdrew, the Dragon Emperor chuckled inwardly: "Humans, I'll just collect a little interest this time. Once I've recovered to the peak of the Great Emperor realm, what can you humans do to me, no matter how many Great Emperors you have?"

The clan leaders who had just stepped out of the Demon Palace exchanged glances. Crimson Flame Tiger spoke first: "Everyone, I've discovered that our Dragon Emperor's ideas are too dangerous. He knows that the human race is powerful, yet he keeps thinking about starting a war with them."

The Soul-Devouring Sparrow chimed in, "I also think the Dragon Emperor was a bit too impulsive. Do you think our Dragon Emperor has some kind of grudge against the human race?"

The seven-tailed fox replied in a low voice, "Haven't you considered who exactly sealed away the Dragon Emperor?"

Upon hearing the Seven-Tailed Fox's words, the Devouring Pythons suddenly realized something and all turned to look at the Seven-Tailed Fox: "You mean it was a human Great Emperor who sealed the Dragon Emperor? But the Dragon Emperor is so strong, sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, and still has the cultivation of a late-stage Great Emperor. The peak Dragon Emperor should be at the peak of the Great Emperor realm. Who could possibly seal it?"

The Seven-Tailed Fox glanced disdainfully at the Devouring Python: "Who told you there was only one human emperor? The dragon race is inherently powerful, and even a peak human emperor might not be a match for them. I bet at least three human emperors have made their move."

"Tch, I don't understand why you're so afraid of humans. Once I break through to the Great Emperor realm, I'll go to the human territory and wreak havoc on them," the Primordial Bull said disdainfully.

The demons looked at the stupid bull; besides its strength, it had no brains and only knew how to be savage.

"Sigh! Let's stop discussing this and focus on handling the matters the Dragon Emperor has assigned us!"
