Ming Zhi Tian looked into the distance. He actually wanted to go home first, but Tian Nan Jie’s hospitality was hard to refuse, so he nodded, "Alright, let's go."

Lai Xiao Yang found the Old Ancestor of the Demonic Sect in a hidden forest. The sorcerer said, "I beg the Old Ancestor to do me a great favor!"
...
Tian Nan Jie tore through the space with Ming Zhi Tian, crossing layers of dimensions, and arrived at the Demonic Sect—
At the same time, the Peerless Joyful Courtyard was attacked!
Looking at the mountains rising into the sky, standing tall and majestic, Ming Zhi Tian said, "Is this the Demonic Sect?"
Tian Nan Jie nodded, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "The scenery is good, just a bit remote."
Tian Nan Jie chuckled, "No choice, for the past hundred years, our Demonic Sect has been keeping a low profile."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Sometimes, being low-profile can also lead to silent kills."
Tian Nan Jie smiled enigmatically, "Isn't that true? Come, let me take you inside, to see the splendor of our demon soldiers."
Entering the Demonic City, it was inhabited by countless beast-men and humans. Ming Zhi Tian was surprised to see humans, who were referred to as pseudo-demons.
Ming Zhi Tian had once killed a pseudo-demon while accepting a mission in Huayang City. They were indistinguishable from humans, except that they practiced demonic arts.
Tian Nan Jie led Ming Zhi Tian deep into the Demonic City, crossing towering mountains, and arrived at the training grounds. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
This was the training ground for the demon soldiers. Ming Zhi Tian and Tian Nan Jie stood on a majestic, towering mountain, overlooking the area. Below, dense ranks of demon soldiers were practicing their magic arts, countless in number.
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a hundred thousand demon soldiers under your command?"
Tian Nan Jie smiled faintly, "Nine hundred thousand."
"!!"
Ming Zhi Tian exclaimed, "So many?"
Tian Nan Jie said, "Don't underestimate these mere demon soldiers at the Ascending Dragon Realm. Their sheer numbers can wear down five great powers."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "What realm is a great power?"
Tian Nan Jie shook his head, sighing, "In this life, I will never have the chance to see it. It is a height that suffocates everyone. With just one move, one breath, hundreds of people vanish in the blink of an eye."
Looking at a red-robed formidable general in the distance, Ming Zhi Tian asked again, "Is that the commander?"
Tian Nan Jie nodded, "This is our Demonic Sect's demon soldier general, Hong Lie Feng. Don't underestimate her. Although she is a woman, her cultivation realm has already reached the tenth level of the Deified Realm, just one step away from awakening."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "What is the awakening realm?"
Tian Nan Jie replied with a look of longing for that height, "It is the realm where one's hidden special bloodline can awaken. Some people spend their entire lives and only reach the awakening, while others can achieve a qualitative leap in their cultivation height due to the awakening of their special bloodline. That is the gap between the two. The victor is king, the vanquished is bandit."
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Can I go down and take a look?"
Tian Nan Jie nodded, "You can, but… the General dislikes being disturbed while working."
Ming Zhi Tian understood, "I see. I will try not to make a sound."
The two leaped down, tearing through the space, and arrived in the training grounds. Suddenly, a great roar erupted from all around, and Ming Zhi Tian felt a mighty tremor!
Hong Lie Feng was commanding with focus, "One! Swing! Two! Stab! Three! Club! Four! Hammer! Five..."
The demon soldiers showed no fatigue. Instead, their morale was high, as if they were fighting enemies, "Hoo! Ha! Huo! Zha!..."
With the roar of nine hundred thousand people, Ming Zhi Tian understood why Tian Nan Jie said they could overwhelm five great powers. Standing there at this moment, he felt as insignificant as an ant.
Seeing the newcomers, Hong Lie Feng raised her hand slightly, and the nine hundred thousand demon soldiers in the field immediately stopped their training and stood at attention in an orderly fashion.
Ming Zhi Tian applauded, "Clap..."
Hong Lie Feng asked, "Who are you?"
Tian Nan Jie explained, "Reporting to the Great General, he is someone I brought."
Hong Lie Feng nodded slightly, sizing up Ming Zhi Tian. "Tenth level of the Deified Realm? Ku Pa La, another talented person you've discovered? You've done well this time. Have you reported to Father yet?"
Tian Nan Jie performed the highest etiquette of the beast-men, "I am about to report to the Grand Marshal. Please wait a moment, Great General. I will be back soon. And Young Master Ming, please wait here as well."
