How could Yang Kai not understand the Demon Race? In the Thousand Illusion Dream World, he had personally participated in the war between the two races, and after several dozen years, it could be said that in the entire Star Boundart, there was no one who understood the nature and characteristics of the Demon Race better than him.
Sects like Star Soul Palace might have some records about the Demon Race, but how could these records be comparable to experiencing it personally?
“I know a thing or two,” Yang Kai replied indifferently.
A strange look flashed across Yu Rumeng’s eyes but she didn’t ask any further.
“Go back!” The Demon King had already appeared, and the Demon Race’s army would probably arrive soon, so he had to quickly inform Li Wuyi and the others about this. This matter concerned the survival of the entire Star Boundary, so it was no longer something he could casually interfere with.
Not long after, Li Wuyi who already returned to everyone’s side nodded slightly when he saw Yang Kai.
Yang Kai looked at him and said, “I met a Demon King!”
“Demon King?” Li Wuyi was shocked, and Xue Zhengmao and the others also paled.
Lan Xun frowned slightly, “I once read some records about the Demon Race in the ancient books. The Demon King is an existence comparable to an Emperor Realm master on Demon Territory.”
Yang Kai nodded, “That’s right, that Demon King has the strength of a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, and he is also a Demon King of the Stone Demon Race, so his defense is extremely tough. Although I wanted to kill him, I failed and allowed him to escape.”
Li Wuyi’s expression became solemn as he said, “First there were countless Black Demons, and now even the Demon King has appeared. Could it be that the passage between the Demon Territory and the Star Boundary has been opened?”
Yang Kai said, “I’m afraid that’s obvious. The Demon King just said that the Demon Race’s army will soon flatten the Star Boundary. If the channel hadn’t been opened, how could he have been so confident? And all of this just proves Brother Gao’s words…” He turned to look at Gao Zhan, “The great calamity is about to begin.”
Li Wuyi said solemnly, “If that’s the case, then this matter is no longer something we can handle. We need to quickly inform the entire Star Boundary and mobilize the cultivators from the other three regions to attack the Demon Race.”
“I think so too. The war between the two races is no small matter, it concerns the entire Star Boundary, no one can leave it alone.”
Xue Zhengmao said, “But the Great Emperor and the others haven’t returned yet, so I don’t know what the situation is over there. If they can destroy the Two Worlds Passageway…”
Yang Kai replied, “Of course that’s for the best, but so many days have passed and there has been no news, so we can only prepare for the worst.”
Xue Zhengmao nodded lightly, feeling that what he said was reasonable.
“There’s no time to lose…” Before Li Wuyi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the center of the Demon Earth.
In the endless darkness, a few extremely terrifying auras suddenly appeared and shot towards them.
In the blink of an eye, three auras appeared in front of them. Everyone felt their vision blur as three people appeared out of nowhere.
Li Wuyi and the others were all overjoyed as they cupped their fists and greeted, “Sir.”
The three who had appeared were none other than the three Great Emperors, Serene Soul, Iron Blood, and Beast Martial! This was a pleasant surprise. Just a moment ago, everyone had felt like they had no backbone, but now these three Great Emperors had appeared.
However, there was no trace of the Bright Moon Emperor. Lan Xun glanced at the three of them and her face suddenly paled.
Yang Kai’s expression was also somewhat grim, because these three Great Emperors weren’t in very good condition right now. Their bodies were covered in Demonic Qi, and it was clear that they had suffered some kind of corrosion. Moreover, it could be seen that these three had experienced a great battle and their auras were somewhat unstable.
However, to existences like them, this Demonic Qi was nothing. As long as they calmly dispelled it, it would quickly disappear.
What shocked Yang Kai was that there was a trace of dried blood on the corner of Beast Martial Great Emperor's mouth. Obviously, he had been injured.
For a moment, Yang Kai’s heart trembled. Mo Huang was a Great Emperor, so who could hurt him? Those who could do this were undoubtedly Great Emperors. Could it be that it was the work of the Night Shadow Great Emperor? But that didn’t make any sense. The Night Shadow Great Emperor was just one person, and the three of them, together with the Bright Moon Great Emperor, had a total of four Great Emperors, so how could they be in such a miserable state?
After the three of them appeared, they didn’t say anything more. Iron Blood glanced at Lin Yun’er, nodded lightly, and said, “Let’s leave this place first.”
Saying so, he used his Emperor Qi to wrap everyone up and fly away.
After the time it took to boil a cup of tea, a group of people landed a hundred thousand kilometers away. This place was a high slope filled with gravel, and the surrounding scenery was quite spacious.
Everyone stared at the three of them, wanting to know what had happened to them, but no one dared to ask.
Seemingly noticing Lan Xun’s questioning gaze, Iron Blood raised his eyes and looked towards her, a trace of guilt flashing across his face. After pondering for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, “In order to protect the three of us from the Demon Territory, your father was trapped there.”
Lan Xun’s tender body swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Yun’er was standing next to her and held her up.
Yang Kai couldn’t help showing a look of disbelief. Although the Iron Blood Great Emperor’s words were short, they revealed two crucial pieces of information.
The Star Boundary and Demon Territory’s passage had really opened!
On the other hand, the four Great Emperors had actually gone to the Demon Territory. It was likely that the four of them had engaged in a great battle with the Demon Territory’s masters, which was why they had been delayed for so many days. Moreover, Mo Huang had suffered some minor injuries. It was no wonder that the three who had returned had traces of Demonic Qi corrosion on their bodies. Ordinary Demonic Qi would naturally be unable to break through their defences, but if the Demon Saint were to act, the Great Emperor would not be able to ignore it.
Serene Soul said, “Don’t worry, your father is still a Great Emperor. Although he was trapped there, his life won’t be in any danger, but it will be difficult for him to return. We will try to save him, so don’t be anxious.”
Lan Xun pursed her red lips tightly, not saying a word as she gently nodded. In order to protect the other three, Bright Moon Great Emperor had been trapped in the Demon Territory, so she was naturally worried and anxious. Even though she knew that Serene Soul was only trying to comfort her, there was nothing she could do.
Li Wuyi looked towards Mo Huang and asked, “Sir, has the passage between the two worlds really been opened?”
Mo Huang nodded solemnly, “We’ve miscalculated. The Demon Territory has been planning this matter for many years, if we don’t investigate, the Star Boundary will be in trouble.”
“What about the Night Shadow Great Emperor?” Li Wuyi asked again.
Mo Huang slowly shook his head, obviously unwilling to say anything more about this matter. After all, they were both Great Emperors, and Night Shadow actions had caused him to lose face. Seeing this, Li Wuyi couldn’t ask any more questions, but it was undeniable that Night Shadow was definitely colluding with the Demon Territory, otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have happened in the Western Regions.
This time, the Star Boundary could be said to be filled with both internal and external troubles, causing the situation to become extremely bad.
Iron Blood said, “The Demon Territory’s great army is waiting for an opportunity to attack and sharpen their blades. The Star Boundary must quickly organize itself in order to have a chance to resist, otherwise the Western Regions will soon fall.”
Yang Kai looked at him and said, “I’m afraid Sir doesn’t know, but the Western Regions have probably fallen.”
Iron Blood frowned at him, “What do you mean?”
Yang Kai sighed and briefly explained everything that had happened before, finally saying, “The several thousand people from Star Point Sect have all become bedeviled, and several Star Soul Palace masters who went to the various great Sects of the Western Region have disappeared without a trace. All of these things indicate that the Western Region has become a paradise for the demons, but we have been kept in the dark.”
Iron Blood was slightly moved, “The situation is actually so bad.”
Mo Huang replied, “The situation in the Western Regions isn’t strange with existence like Night Shadow here, but I don’t think the entire Western Regions is filled with Demon Race. If the Demon Race wants to invade my Star Boundary, they must expand their territory. As long as we keep an eye on this point, we can stop them.”
Iron Blood and Serene Soul both nodded slightly.
Mo Huang said, “There’s no time to lose, let’s begin. I’ll stay here for the time being to monitor the situation and prevent things from getting worse.”
Serene Soul nodded and said, “Then I’ll return to the Eastern Region and gather the people from the Eastern Region.” Turning to Xue Zhengmao, he said, “Although Bright Moon is not here, the Southern Region still respects the Star Soul Palace. You should return to the Southern Region as soon as possible to handle this matter.”
“Yes!” Xue Zhengmao nodded solemnly.
Iron Blood said, “Then I’ll go find the other old fellows. I’m afraid they won’t be able to rest in peace this time.”
The old fellows he was referring to were probably the other Great Emperors.
Mo Huang looked at Yang Kai before turning to Li Wuyi and saying, “This time I need to borrow the strength of the two of you, so I’m afraid you’ll be very busy for the next few days. If you have any personal matters to attend to, you must take care of them first, don’t make any mistakes.”
Yang Kai and Li Wuyi glanced at each other and cupped their fists, “Yes!”
In order to gather people from the Three Domains, Space Abilities were naturally essential, especially the Space Arrays Yang Kai had set up, which were simply weapons of war.
After the discussion was settled, Yang Kai and Li Wuyi immediately got busy. The two of them worked together to set up a huge Space Array nearby and refined many Space Spirit Beads for everyone to wear so they could travel together in the future.
Half a day later, the Space Array was completed, and everyone acted as if they had discussed it beforehand. Li Wuyi brought the Serene Soul Great Emperor back to the Eastern Region, the Star Soul Palace’s group returned to the Southern Region, and Yang Kai returned to the Northern Region. This way, the three regions could move quickly.
To Yang Kai’s surprise, the Iron Blood Great Emperor Zhan Wuhen and Lin Yun’er actually wanted to accompany him.
It wasn’t difficult for Lin Yun’er to follow Yang Kai. She had wanted to meet some old friends from the Star Field, but she hadn’t been able to do so. Now that she finally had a chance, she naturally didn’t want to miss it.
The Iron Blood Great Emperor wanting to follow him left Yang Kai somewhat puzzled.
Wasn’t he going to find the other Great Emperors? Why was he following them to the Northern Region? Could it be that he was worried about Lin Yun’er? But now was obviously not the time to care about his disciple.
Yu Rumeng naturally didn’t leave Yang Kai’s side. Yang Kai really admired this woman. She was clearly an impostor, yet she was so bold as to remain indifferent in front of the Great Emperor. What made Yang Kai even more puzzled was that Mo Huang and the others didn’t notice anything wrong with Yu Rumeng, as if she really was Li Shiqing.
