Chapter 594: Chapter 485: Undermining the Enemy, The Unexpected Incident of Jiang Ziya

Upon learning that the strength of the two individuals was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and that there was a chance for recovery, a smile appeared on Jiang Ziya’s face.

These were two helpers, and furthermore, they were helpers with tremendous strength.

"Ksitigarbha, how long will it take for them to recover?" Jiang Ziya inquired, after all, if these two could participate in the operation they were preparing, they would certainly be able to capture more Sages of the Three Realms.

"They can’t fully recover; I can only alleviate the suppression of the Heavenly Dao a bit."

"Currently, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, the two protectors can’t even retain one percent of their strength. After my intervention, they will at most maintain ten percent, unable to unleash even twenty or thirty percent!"

Ksitigarbha shook his head, it was not that he did not want to help, but rather that he could not help.

How could one possibly fully recover from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao?

If he truly had that ability, Elder Yang Mei would have already attacked the Three Realms long ago, so why would there be a need for them to break it from the inside?

"Ten or even twenty or thirty percent... it’s not unacceptable!"

Jiang Ziya contemplated in his mind. Even if the two of them could only exert ten to thirty percent of their strength, it was still considerably stronger than him, and they would certainly have more than enough power.

As for Black Clothes and White Robed, although not very pleased, at least they could recover some strength, which was much better than their current state.

"In that case, I’ll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha."

"Once the two protectors emerge from seclusion, that will be the time for us to act!"

Jiang Ziya stated directly and then led everyone back to Suyu Realm, as they did not wish to expose their only secluded refuge at this time.

Upon entering Suyu Realm, Black Clothes and White Robed felt the wonder of the place and were somewhat shocked.

However, seeing that there were no Demon Race Sages from the Three Realms they expected to be in Suyu Realm, they felt some disappointment, having never imagined that the Demon Clan’s strength in the Three Realms had weakened to such an extent.

Ksitigarbha led Black Clothes and White Robed to a corner of Suyu Realm and used his unique Primordial Spirit to erode away the Sealing Force placed upon them by the Heavenly Dao.

The process was estimated by Ksitigarbha to take one day.

One day, which seemed not a long time, found Jiang Ziya and others always inside Suyu Realm.

That aged face looked out towards the sky beyond Suyu Realm, the calm visage tinted with a bizarre smile, appearing much like an old fox watching its prey enter the trap.

"Go!"

A day had just passed, and Black Clothes and White Robed, having regained some strength, were naturally incomparable to the day before. The aura they expelled was so oppressive that even Jiang Ziya felt it.

Jiang Ziya was very satisfied, for although they had done nothing that day, it did not mean the Demon Clan had been idle.

Gathered in the Three Realms, the Demon Clan’s army had already begun to move, with over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals from Beiju Luzhou perishing and more than half of the dozens at the Pinnacle of Great Luo from Western Cow Hezhou being killed off.

The only places without any significant losses were the ever-watchful Southern Continent Jambudvipa and Dongshen Shenzhou, where no Demon Race Sages had appeared.

Now that the Demon Race Sages were ready, it was time for the million-strong Demon Clan army to truly act.

"Black Robe, relay my command, the army of the Southern Continent Jambudvipa moves out, attack the Southern Continent Jambudvipa with full force!"

Emerging from Suyu Realm, Jiang Ziya issued this order to Black Robe before departing.

"Yes!"

Black Robe took the order, not daring to delay even for a moment, and promptly headed towards the Southern Continent Jambudvipa.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Ziya, where shall we go now?"

Ksitigarbha inquired.

At this point, they only knew that the Southern Continent Jambudvipa was the bait they had put out, but regarding the specific target for attack, due to the arrival of Black Clothes and White Robed, Jiang Ziya’s half-finished words had not been completed.

"We? To Beiju Luzhou!"

Jiang Ziya spoke with a hint of a smile.

Hearing this answer, everyone present was taken aback.

No one had expected Jiang Ziya to set his sights on Beiju Luzhou.

It was without reason, and without justification.

However, with Jiang Ziya making the decisions, no one present truly objected to anything.

And Jiang Ziya had his own reasons. Attacking where unprepared and seizing the element of surprise are principles of military strategy, and these concepts also apply at their level of Sages.

This was why he had thought of attacking Beiju Luzhou.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya had Haotian, who had been kept as a target in Dongshen Shenzhou to restrain Fuxi and others, return from a distant place and had the several dozen at the Pinnacle of Great Luo left in Western Cow Hezhou resist South Pole Elderly Immortal and others at the cost of their lives.

Upon receiving the message, the army in Southern Continent Jambudvipa commenced their march, initiating the real attack.

"Attack!"

Li Jing, seeing the Demon Clan’s vanguard troops advancing, immediately ordered fifty thousand celestial Soldiers to meet the attack.

Facing the diverse Demon Clan, Li Jing’s face bore not a trace of emotion; his sole thought was to defend the Southern Continent Jambudvipa.

At the same time, he glanced at the place in the camp where Xuanzang and others were. If the army suffered heavy casualties, these individuals would have to take action.

At the foot of Mount Meru in Western Cow Hezhou, the dozens of Pinnacle Great Luo being hunted by South Pole Elderly Immortal and others had strangely circled back.

Master Yuding brought out the Nine Dragons Li Fire Fan and knocked down the rearmost Pinnacle Great Luo, leaving him to be finished off by a nearby Quasi-Saint.

The remaining Demon Clan Pinnacle Great Luos showed no concern for the life or death of their comrade, but fought desperately to flee, and just as desperately to lead the others in circles.

In the wilderness of Beiju Luzhou, Xingtian swung his battle-axe, stirring up vast swathes of energy from earth and sky, ultimately dispatching the last five Daluo Golden Immortals before they could react, cleaving them in twain.

Demon blood darkened the earth, and the energy within the blood carved out ravines.

Simultaneously, a dozen more Demon Clan Daluo Golden Immortals appeared in the distance. Gonggong waved a massive hand and turned them into ice sculptures. As the ice shattered, so too did their bodies.
