Chapter 161: Chapter 160 Preparation (4)

In a villa in the suburbs of the Huaxia Capital, Wen JiaRen was shocked after hearing Yan Rufeng’s report, "What did you say, boy? All the countries in Europe have people joining the Demon Extermination Army."

Yan Rufeng replied, "Commander Wen, they’ve probably already reached Cloud City at the Huaxia border by now."

"Haha..."

Wen JiaRen laughed and said, "Comrade Rufeng, I also have good news to tell you."

Yan Rufeng asked, "Commander Wen, have the big shots agreed to let me lead the troops to Southern Yue to exterminate demons?"

Wen JiaRen laughed, "Comrade Rufeng, you guessed right. After discussion, the big shots unanimously agreed that the demon extermination must be done without delay and instructed me to appoint you as the Demon Extermination Grand Marshal as soon as you return from Europe!"

"That’s great." Yan Rufeng laughed.

"Hehe."

Wen JiaRen laughed, "Comrade Rufeng, how long do you plan to finish this demon extermination mission?"

Yan Rufeng saluted and said forcefully, "Commander Wen, I guarantee that in three months, all demons in Southern Yue will be exterminated!"

"Excellent!"

Wen JiaRen said sternly, "Comrade Rufeng, on behalf of the highest commander of the three armies, I officially appoint you, Yan Rufeng, as the Demon Extermination Grand Marshal..."

Yan Rufeng straightened his back and loudly said, "I accept the order!"

...

As soon as Yan Rufeng was appointed as the Demon Extermination Grand Marshal, he ordered Ye Lingtian to lead the Heavenly Soldier Army to Southern Yue to scout the enemy.

Less than a day later, Yan Rufeng received an urgent secret letter from Ye Lingtian sent from Southern Yue.

The secret letter from Ye Lingtian said, "The whole territory of Southern Yue is littered with corpses, demonic qi is rampant in the sky, demons are everywhere. In the city closest to the Huaxia border, millions of demon forces have gathered, ready to attack Huaxia at any moment..."

Upon receiving this news, Yan Rufeng did not hesitate and immediately used the Alliance Hierarch Jade Order to issue an order to all the cultivation sects under the Immortal Alliance.

Upon receiving the order, the sect leaders of the various cultivation sects rushed to the Dragon Abyss Sect headquarters...

In the great hall of the Dragon Abyss Sect, sect leaders from various major sects under the Immortal Alliance gathered. Yan Rufeng sat in the hall and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, you must all be aware of the matter where the Heavenly Demon came to Huaxia recently and challenged our top cultivators?"

Zhang Shouqing from Wudang cupped his hands and said, "Alliance Hierarch, everyone knows about this, but we don’t understand why the Heavenly Demon suddenly grew in power."

Yan Rufeng said, "The Heavenly Demon grew so quickly because he absorbed the essence of our human clan to improve himself."

"How much essence did he need to absorb to reach his current level?" someone in the hall exclaimed.

Yan Rufeng took a long breath and said, "If it’s a cultivator, the Heavenly Demon needs to absorb the essence of a million people to elevate his cultivation to the current realm. If it’s ordinary people, it requires at least one billion..."

"What, the Heavenly Demon absorbed the essence of a billion people, then Southern Yue must be devoid of people!" another person in the hall exclaimed.

Zhang Zongyan from the Zhengyi Sect angrily said, "Alliance Hierarch, if that’s the case, the Heavenly Demon has acted too cruelly to increase his cultivation, treating the lives of all under heaven as worthless. This is intolerable!"

Xuanmingzi from Tai Mountain Jade Emperor Sword Palace stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Alliance Hierarch, for the sake of all under heaven, we, as cultivators, must take action and not sit idly by."

Yan Rufeng said, "They have already moved!"

"What?"

Cang Songzi from Huashan Mountain Sword Sect exclaimed, "The Heavenly Demon dares to invade Huaxia?"

Yan Rufeng said sternly, "The Heavenly Demon has already stationed millions of troops on the Southern Yue border. I think they will launch a full-scale attack on Huaxia in no time."

Zhang Zongyan said angrily, "Alliance Hierarch, should we attack now!"

Yan Rufeng said, "Everyone, don’t be impatient. Follow my arrangements for everything."

All sect leaders cupped their hands and said, "We will follow the Alliance Hierarch’s arrangements!"

Yan Rufeng solemnly said, "Zhang Zongyan, hear the order."

Zhang Zongyan cupped his hands, "I accept the Alliance Hierarch’s order."

Yan Rufeng said sternly, "Zhang Zongyan, this Alliance Hierarch orders you to lead the Immortal Alliance’s army to the border Cloud City in three days and join forces with our Dragon Abyss Sect’s Demon Extermination Army."

Zhang Zongyan cupped his hands, "I accept the order!"

Yan Rufeng handed the Alliance Hierarch Jade Order to Zhang Zongyan and sternly said to everyone, "From today onward, all members of the Immortal Alliance will follow Zhang Zongyan’s commands. Violators can be executed by Sect Master Zhang on the spot."

Everyone said in unison, "We will strictly follow the Alliance Hierarch’s command."

Yan Rufeng waved his hand and said indifferently, "All of you can go back and prepare."

After the Immortal Alliance members departed from the Dragon Abyss Sect, Yan Rufeng gathered all the elders of the Dragon Abyss Sect.

Deputy Sect Master Qing Xiu cupped his hands, "Sect Master, what’s the critical matter for which you urgently summoned us all?"

Yan Rufeng’s eyes gleamed brightly as he said in a high-pitched voice, "Qing Xiu, this Sect Master orders you to gather all the disciples immediately."

Qing Xiu had never seen Yan Rufeng with such an expression. He didn’t dare to ask more and immediately retreated. Shortly after, the emergency bell of the Dragon Abyss Sect, which only rings in critical situations, was heard.

Qing Xiu returned to the hall and cupped his hands, "Reporting to the Sect Master, all disciples have assembled."

Yan Rufeng stood up and said, "Elder Chuyunzi, hear the order."

Chuyunzi cupped his hands, "Please arrange, Sect Master."

Yan Rufeng said, "Elder Chuyunzi, this Sect Master now appoints you as the demon extermination vanguard. Lead all Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciples to the border Cloud City and await further orders."

"I accept the order..."

...

Cloud City, located at the junction of Huaxia and Southern Yue, is surrounded by high mountains and dangerous terrain. After the changes in heaven and earth, swamps suddenly appeared on the route from Cloud City to the forests of Southern Yue, and the miasma emitted from the swamps lingered in the dense forests for a long time, gradually forming a poisonous gas.

Due to the corrosive nature of this poisonous miasma on spiritual energy, ordinary cultivators dare not venture into the dense forests of Southern Yue.

However, the demon army of the Heavenly Demon was not afraid of this miasma. For them, it not only improved their cultivation after absorption but could also be released to cause harm to cultivators. This made the demon extermination mission fraught with difficulties and dangers.

Ye Lingtian, who had arrived earlier, suddenly received Yan Rufeng’s second order to evacuate all Cloud City residents to the interior within five hours.

Although the residents of Cloud City were also cultivators, their cultivation was too low. Yan Rufeng didn’t want them to make unnecessary sacrifices, so he decided to temporarily relocate them.

Yan Rufeng stood with his hands behind his back, standing in the air above Cloud City, looking into the distance. His white robes fluttered without wind, exuding an aura of ruling the world.

Three people flew towards Yan Rufeng; they were Xue Sha, Tian Lang, and Xue Ying.

Xue Sha cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to my lord, the army is ready and can march to Southern Yue to exterminate demons at any time."

Yan Rufeng said slowly, "Xue Sha, temporarily withdraw to a thousand miles east of Cloud City."

Xue Sha asked in confusion, "Master, why is this?"
