Chapter 162: Chapter 161: On the Brink of Outbreak

Yan Rufeng spoke softly, "Blood Slaughter, you must be wondering why we are not confronting the Heavenly Demon directly, right?"

Blood Slaughter nodded and then asked, "Master, you have ordered me to station the army a thousand miles away. When will we be able to launch an attack on the Heavenly Demon?"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "Blood Slaughter, when the army of the Heavenly Demon advances to my location, you will leave the Cosmic Battleship and launch a siege on the army of the Heavenly Demon."

"Besiege the army of the Heavenly Demon?"

Blood Slaughter furrowed his brow, "Master, we only have two armies. How can we surround the army of the Heavenly Demon? Moreover, we are a thousand miles away. If the army of the Heavenly Demon suddenly attacks you, Tian Lang and I can’t provide timely support. Your situation would be very dangerous..."

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Blood Slaughter, you don’t need to worry about that. Besides, they have already arrived."

"Who has arrived?"

Before Blood Slaughter could finish his sentence, Ye Lingtian appeared before him.

Blood Slaughter immediately summoned the Great Angel’s Sword, yelling, "Who are you? State your name quickly!"

Yan Rufeng said, "Blood Slaughter, do not panic. He is Ye Lingtian."

"Who is Ye Lingtian?"

"Of course, he is one of ours!" Ye Lingtian replied with a smile.

Blood Slaughter put away the Great Angel’s Sword, embarrassed, "So, you’re one of us."

With a slight smile, Ye Lingtian walked up to Blood Slaughter and shook his hand, "You must be the former Prince Andra Feis, right?"

Blood Slaughter cupped his hands, "I didn’t expect General Ye to remember. However, I am now known as Blood Slaughter."

"Heh heh..."

Ye Lingtian chuckled, "If I’m not mistaken, the two beside you must be Prince Nierdorf and the Elf Princess, right?"

Tian Lang cupped his hands, "General Ye, I am now known as Tian Lang."

Xue Ying cupped her hands, "General Ye, I am now known as Xue Ying."

Ye Lingtian gave a faint smile, "Xue Ying, your name is quite similar to Blood Slaughter. Are you two..."

Xue Ying blushed, "General Ye, Blood Slaughter is my husband."

"Ha ha..."

Ye Lingtian laughed, "One is a Blood Clan prince, and the other is an Elf Clan princess. You two are a perfect match."

"Thank you for the compliment, General Ye..."

After Ye Lingtian had become acquainted with Blood Slaughter, Xue Ying, and Tian Lang, they prepared to report the military situation to Yan Rufeng. However, they noticed a sight in the distant sky: hundreds of formations of cultivators flying towards Cloud City.

Ye Lingtian had just released his Divine Sense to investigate when Yan Rufeng said, "Lingtian, no need to investigate. They are from the Immortal Alliance..."

"The Immortal Alliance? They are here to help eliminate the demons?" Ye Lingtian muttered to himself...

Zhang Zongyan led the Immortal Alliance army to Cloud City. Before entering the city, he saw Yan Rufeng levitating in the sky.

He ordered the Immortal Alliance army to wait in place and approached Yan Rufeng alone.

"Reporting to the Alliance Hierarch, Zhang Zongyan leads two million Immortal Alliance soldiers to pay respects."

Yan Rufeng nodded in satisfaction but did not immediately arrange a demon-slaying plan. Instead, he first introduced Zhang Zongyan to Blood Slaughter and the others.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Yan Rufeng finally spoke to Ye Lingtian.

"Lingtian, now share the specific situation you have investigated in Southern Yue with everyone."

Ye Lingtian responded solemnly, "Reporting to the Young Commander, the Heavenly Demon has now completely taken control of Southern Yue. The territory is littered with human corpses, and the demon army of the Heavenly Demon is advancing closer to Huaxia. They are currently concentrated in a city five thousand miles away from here."

Zhang Zongyan stepped forward and asked, "General Ye, have you found out their total number of troops?"

Ye Lingtian shook his head, "Sect Master Zhang, I did not release my Divine Sense to avoid alerting the demons. However, a rough estimate puts their numbers at no less than twenty million."

"Twenty million?"

Blood Slaughter exclaimed, "How much time has passed, and the Heavenly Demon already has an army of twenty million troops? What kind of monstrous being is this Heavenly Demon to be so terrifying?"

Ye Lingtian said, "The Heavenly Demon isn’t just any monster; he’s akin to the devil in your Western legends!"

"Oh, my God!"

Xue Ying exclaimed, "The terror of the devil, I think only God can contend with him."

"Xue Ying, are you scared?" Yan Rufeng asked.

Xue Ying looked down, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Blood Slaughter quickly cupped his hands, "Master, although the Heavenly Demon boasts formidable power and a twenty-million strong demon army, my Great Angel’s Sword is no ordinary weapon!"

"Roar..."

Tian Lang let out a fierce roar and said resolutely, "Master, I, Tian Lang, have been impatiently waiting. Just give the order, and we shall fight till the sky is dark!"

Zhang Zongyan raised his voice, "Alliance Hierarch, the soldiers of the Immortal Alliance are not cowards. We are ready for a decisive battle with the Heavenly Demon army at any time..."

Ye Lingtian stepped forward, "Young Commander, our Heavenly Soldier Army is already in position, just waiting for your command to purge the demons..."

"Good!"

Yan Rufeng commanded sternly, "Hear my orders."

Everyone shouted in unison, "We await your command!"

Yan Rufeng ordered, "Blood Slaughter, I command you to lead the army to station one thousand miles east of Cloud City."

"Blood Slaughter accepts the order!"

"Zhang Zongyan, I command you to lead the Immortal Alliance army to station one thousand miles west of Cloud City."

"Zhang Zongyan accepts the order!"

"Ye Lingtian, I command you to lead the Heavenly Soldier Army to station one thousand miles north of Cloud City.

"Ye Lingtian accepts the order!"

"Toot, toot..."

At that moment, Ye Lingtian’s phone rang. After taking the call, Ye Lingtian saluted Yan Rufeng and said loudly, "Reporting to the Young Commander, Vice Commander Wen Tong’s two hundred thousand soldiers will arrive at Cloud City in fifteen minutes."

Yan Rufeng said, "Have them wait in place for now.

"Yes, sir!"

Wen Tong piloted the Cosmic Battleship, speeding towards Cloud City. Sitting in the cockpit, a blush occasionally spread across her face as she secretly smiled. Approaching Cloud City, she murmured to herself, "I haven’t seen that rascal Yan Rufeng for half a year. I really miss him. If it weren’t for this demon-elimination mission, who knows when I’d see him again..."

"Hee hee."

Feeling bashful, Wen Tong murmured, "Once I see Yan Rufeng this time, I must seize the opportunity to confess to him. After we eliminate the Heavenly Demon, I’ll have my father go to the Dragon Abyss Sect to propose marriage, hahaha..."

"Toot... toot... toot..."

"Master, it’s a call from Sky Soldier Corps Commander Ye Lingtian..."

The sound of the Artifact Spirit echoed in the Cosmic Battleship.

"Why is he calling at this moment?"

The Artifact Spirit’s voice echoed again in Wen Tong’s ear, "Master, are you going to take the Corps Commander’s call?"

"Answer it."

"Yes, Master!"

As soon as she answered, Ye Lingtian’s voice sounded, "Vice Commander Wen, the Young Commander has ordered that you wait in place!"

"What?"

Wen Tong raised her voice, "Did he really say that?"
