Chapter 518 - 518 Demon Dragon Commander-in-Chief (First Update)
Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Demon Dragon Commander-in-Chief (First Update)
The demonic stronghold in Dongbin Prefecture lay just ahead.
The Demon Race, including the Skeleton Lady, seemed somewhat nervous.
Although the journey thus far, led by Xiao Sha who had morphed into the guise of Ye Qingjiang, had been peaceful and uneventful.
But after all, they had now arrived at the gathering place of demons, the most central location.
Xiao Sha asked in a low voice, “Boss, should we just go in?”
Xue An squinted his eyes slightly, as his immense Divine Sense slowly unfolded, enveloping the entire camp.
As expected, aside from a few limited areas, the rest were obscured by secret techniques.
Xue An was about to retract his Divine Sense when, at that moment, an extremely vast Divine Sense suddenly rose from within the camp.
“Who are you, daring to probe into the forbidden land with your Divine Sense? You’re truly courting death!” This arrogant Divine Sense shouted and struck directly at Xue An.
A cold smile emerged at the corner of Xue An’s mouth. He didn’t dodge and prepared to meet the strike with his Divine Sense head-on.
The struggle between Divine Senses was extremely dangerous; the slightest misstep could result in total annihilation.
Therefore, Xue An’s decision not to dodge made the initially aggressive Divine Sense hesitate, contemplating a retreat.
“You shouted so fiercely, but now you think of retreating?” Xue An said coldly, chasing directly after it.
The Divine Sense, having no choice, turned around and clashed head-on with Xue An.
Bang! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
An invisible shockwave of Divine Sense spread out over the camp from above.
The heads of some lower demons exploded on the spot, and even some higher demons turned pale, their faces filled with horror.
What’s going on?
Why is there such a powerful psychic shockwave?
After clashing head-on with Xue An, the Divine Sense let out a miserable scream, almost completely obliterated by Xue An.
Only a strand of its remnant soul flew back.
Xue An did not pursue, merely laughing coldly before withdrawing his Divine Sense.
Of course, none of this was known to Xiao Sha and the others.
Once his Divine Sense was withdrawn, Xue An opened his eyes and said indifferently, “Let’s go straight into the city!”
Xiao Sha led the way, with the rest of the Demon Race following behind, as the group slowly entered the demonic stronghold.
Meanwhile.
In a study room located at the center of the camp, a middle-aged man with an evil-looking face suddenly opened his eyes and coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood, his expression rapidly withering.
“Mr. Crane, what’s the matter?” Commander-in-Chief Ye Yufeng exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this.
Mr. Crane was Commander-in-Chief Ye Yufeng’s staff officer, a transformed Immortal Crane with demonic characteristics, and due to his innate abilities, he was most proficient in psychic attacks.
During the invasion of this secret realm, Mr. Crane had played a significant role and eliminated many experts in Divine Sense.
He was also the one protecting this main base on usual days.
But unexpectedly, he was now suddenly spewing out blood.
Mr. Crane waved his hand weakly and said to Ye Yufeng, “Commander-in-Chief, I’m alright! It’s just that one of my Divine Senses was destroyed, and I’ve suffered some injuries, that’s all!”
Ye Yufeng’s face darkened, “Who is it that was able to harm even your Divine Sense, Mr. Crane?”
A flash of terror crossed Mr. Crane’s eyes, and then he shook his head with a bitter smile, “I don’t know, but from our recent battle, I’ve realized that this person’s Divine Sense is like an unfathomable ocean, truly a formidable opponent!”
He paused for a moment before adding, “The young master is to arrive tomorrow, and we simply cannot afford any mishaps at this time, so Commander-in-Chief, you must strengthen our defenses!”
Ye Yufeng nodded, “Mr. Crane speaks wisely. I have already dispatched several Commanders to patrol the area. If a formidable enemy does invade, they will make sure it’s a one-way trip!”
Mr. Crane wanted to say more, but then they heard a Demon Soldier reporting from outside.
“My lord, Ye Qingjiang, the Demon Dragon Legion Master, has returned!”
Hearing this news, Ye Yufeng’s brow furrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly through his nostrils.
“This useless trash, he actually didn’t die out there!”
Then he said, “Notify all Commanders to come over for a meeting!”
“Yes!”
The Demon Soldier went to deliver the message.
Soon, the Commanders who were in the headquarters all rushed over.
Ye Yufeng said in a deep voice, “Call Ye Qingjiang in!”
Xiao Sha and Xue An, among others, were waiting outside the study.
As Xiao Sha was now a Demon Dragon Legion Master, she stood at the very front.
Xue An stood behind her.
But Xiao Sha was in a very bad mood.
While standing there, the demons passing by would all look at her with strange eyes.
Especially just now, when those arrogant Demon Dragon Legion Masters passed by her, the disdain on their faces was almost overflowing.
This made Xiao Sha extremely angry, and she truly wished she could just go up and twist off the heads of these bastards right now.
Seeing Xiao Sha’s irritability, Xue An said softly a single word.
“Wait!”
Xiao Sha’s body stiffened, then she lowered her head, daring not to harbor any other thoughts.
At this moment, a Demon Soldier came out and smiled at Xiao Sha.
“Legion Master Ye, the Commander-in-Chief wants you to come in!”
Xiao Sha took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in her heart, and stepped inside.
Xue An followed her and was about to enter as well.
The Demon Soldier stretched out his hand to stop him, “Hey, what are you doing? The Commander-in-Chief only asked for Legion Master Ye to come in! All the others should wait outside!”
Xue An smiled slightly, thinking to himself how miserable Ye Qingjiang’s situation was, even a Demon Soldier dared to bully him.
All the others should wait outside, yet those Demon Dragon Legion Masters who had just entered all brought their attendants with them.
Xue An was about to speak when Xiao Sha strode over and slapped the Demon Soldier, spinning him around three times on the spot, after which he covered his face and looked at Xiao Sha.
“Legion Master Ye, you…”
“What about you? If you dare to spout nonsense again, be careful I’ll twist off your head!” Xiao Sha said coldly.
The Demon Soldier trembled all over and didn’t dare make a sound.
Because in the hierarchically strict Demon Dragon Clan, for a Commander like Xiao Sha, killing a Demon Soldier was no different from swatting a mosquito.
Xiao Sha snorted coldly and led Xue An inside.
Upon entering the spacious study.
There were more than a dozen Demon Dragon Commanders standing on both sides, all looking at Xiao Sha with hostility.
Behind the desk sat a tall and mighty man.
Xiao Sha glanced at him, then stepped forward and saluted according to Ye Qingjiang’s memories, “Ye Qingjiang greets the Commander-in-Chief!”
The Commander-in-Chief sat on the chair, quietly looking at Xiao Sha.
The room was eerily silent.
After a while, Ye Yufeng finally said in a cold tone, “Ye Qingjiang, I sent you to conquer the native Demon Race, have you achieved any results?”
“Reporting to the Commander, Zhongshan Province has been taken! But because the Demon Race resisted fiercely, my demons suffered heavy losses, which is why I had no choice but to return and replenish my forces!” Xiao Sha said according to the words she had thought of on the way.
“Fiercely resisted… heh heh!” Ye Yufeng leaned back in his chair, chuckling coldly a few times.
At his laugh, all the Commanders in the room also let out a cold chuckle.
Some of them even looked at Xiao Sha with schadenfreude.
“So many excuses, in the end, it was a defeat, wasn’t it?” Ye Yufeng suddenly asked in a cold voice.
“Ye Qingjiang, do you know your crime?”
