"What?" Hong Lie Feng was awakened from her thoughts.
"What is the strength of the Demon Sect's nine hundred thousand troops, and what are the cultivation realms of their leaders? I need to make plans," Ming Zhi Tian said.
Hong Lie Feng replied, "The demon soldiers are all at the Alchemy Realm. As for the Demon Ancestor, you know he is at the ninth level of the Investiture of the Gods Realm. The Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Lord Mo Shen, Bai Li Dong, is at the first level of the Awakening Realm. His left and right protectors, Chui Zhen, are at the eighth level of the Investiture of the Gods Realm, and Wo Qiang is at the ninth level of the Investiture of the Gods Realm. As for the Four Young Masters of Bo Qiang, they are not worth mentioning."
Ming Zhi Tian's brow furrowed slightly, then he nodded. "Demon Ancestor, it's time for me to settle accounts with you. Lord Mo Shen is actually at the first level of the Awakening Realm. However, with my bloodline power, he cannot defeat me."
Jie Qing Xia said, "Most of the disciples of the Twenty-Three Sects and Thirty-Nine Gates are only at the Ascending Dragon Realm. Although many are at the Alchemy Realm, they cannot contend with the nine hundred thousand demon troops."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "It's too dangerous. You all stay here and wait for my news."
"Again, stay home. We always end up not being able to help," Yan Fei complained.
Ming Zhi Tian stroked her cheek. "Be good. Your being safe and sound at home is the biggest help to me."
Bai Liu Li said, "Zhi Tian, I'll go with you."
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head. "I cannot leave them. Your duty is to protect them. Wait for me to return. Liu Li, I entrust this to you."
Bai Liu Li nodded. "Alright, I wish you victory."
Ren Xing Yao suddenly grabbed Ming Zhi Tian's hand. "Husband, can you not go? Yao'er is worried about you."
Ming Zhi Tian stroked her pretty face. "It's fine. Tian Nan Jie showed me great kindness by recognizing my potential. I must go and save him."
Seeing the women looking reluctant to part, Hong Lie Feng said, "There's no time to delay. I need to know who seized military power. I must take it back."
She thought to herself, 'There's a fight to be had, and it's a good opportunity to test how much progress I've made in my diligent studies of the Star Dragon Yao Hua Halberd Art. To learn it, I've abandoned spear techniques and chosen the halberd.'
"Let's go."
When Ming Zhi Tian, riding Bai Ze Chuan Chuan, arrived at the Ten Lands of Desolation, everyone had already been repeatedly defeated by the nine hundred thousand demon troops and dared not send anyone else to fight, only daring to hold their ground.
Below, dense crowds of people were spread out, and siege weapons hovered in the air, ready to be deployed.
Suddenly, a white-blue stream of light streaked across the sky, forming a trail of clouds. It was Ming Zhi Tian riding Bai Ze Chuan Chuan.
He instantly appeared in the chasm between the Demon Sect and the alliance of the Twenty-Three Sects and Thirty-Nine Gates. Beside him stood a woman in red, radiating an imposing aura, her demeanor heroic and graceful. It was Hong Lie Feng, holding a long halberd, ready for battle.
Hai Bu Bu exclaimed, "Look, it's Ming Zhi Tian! That man, he... he's back?!"
Dong Cheng Jiu, Xue Ming Yuan, Chen Qi, and most of the disciples looked in the direction Hai Bu Bu pointed.
Even the four Grand Sect Leaders couldn't help but cast their gazes. On the Wan Li Sen Mu Ni Huang's Phoenix, the red-clad Dong Qian Yue, on the Qi Shan Zhang Tian Yue's black flame Kirin, the white-clad Nan Xing Kong, on the Di Hai Wu Cheng Shen Zhou Xing Yao Dragon, the blue-robed Da Yi Xi Zhen Yao, and on the Lan Shan Hu Hai Jiu Tou Bing Huo Beast, the black big coat clad Bei Huang Qi, all anticipated the arrival of their savior.
Clearly, they had found their savior, but whether it was good fortune or misfortune was uncertain. Not to mention their shallow, almost transparent acquaintance with Ming Zhi Tian, could he even defeat the Demon Sect's Lord Mo Shen? Even if he could, facing nine hundred thousand demon troops, wouldn't that be like throwing oneself into a pile of ants, never to return?
Ming Zhi Tian unleashed his aura of the first level of the Awakening Realm! Instantly, waves of demon soldiers knelt to the ground.
The cultivators rejoiced, "We are saved! We are saved! He has come to help us!"
