Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Jiang Fan’s Great Name Spreads Through the Demon Race Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Jiang Fan’s Great Name Spreads Through the Demon Race If not for Jiang Fan.
How could she end up in such a situation?
This great defeat triggered consequences far beyond Yao Yue’s expectations.
After the news of the great defeat spread in the Demon Race, it directly exploded the Demon Race!
And countless Beast Kings!
All furiously called for Yao Yue’s execution!
The reason was simple.
This battle was lost in a baffling, thorough, and disgraceful manner!
The grand army of over ten thousand Dead Corpses was utterly annihilated by a mere two hundred hasty Human Clan defenders in the Boundary Mountain!
Who could believe it?
The blame for Yao Yue’s incompetent command was widespread.
In fact, a significant portion of the Demon Race questioned Yao Yue’s loyalty, alleging she betrayed them for the humans.
Otherwise, they couldn’t fathom how this battle was lost!
The mood was agitated.
The resentment was sky-high.
Even the Demon Emperor interrupted his closed-door cultivation incredibly.
Along with the Old Priest, they judged Yao Yue!
Besides executing her to appease the masses, Yao Yue could not think of another verdict.
She did not fear death.
Just felt somewhat wronged.
Because she gave her all in this battle.
The defeat was not due to her incompetence, nor her collusion with humans.
It was all because of the variable, Jiang Fan.
Yao Yue clenched her fist: “Once I explain this battle.”
“I will apologize with my death and take you, this great scourge of the Demon Race, with me!”
At this time, outside the Holy Altar, it was filled with angry demons.
They were all waiting for the news of Yao Yue’s execution.
Sea Charm looked worried.
Knowing Yao Yue well, if Yao Yue were to be sentenced to death.
She would surely expose the fact that Sea Charm submitted to Jiang Fan before dying.
At that time, Sea Charm would also be implicated.
But she could not kill Yao Yue.
Otherwise, it would implicate Jiang Fan.
“The Heart Connection Worm is really troublesome.” Sea Charm rubbed her temples.
Things had developed to this point, completely out of control.
She could only leave it to fate.
A rainbow bridge suddenly extended from the depths of the Demon Race.
It spanned the sky, connecting to the Holy Altar.
Birds from miles around gathered around the rainbow as if paying homage like phoenixes.
Illusory petals descended along with the rainbow.
The miraculous scene made the demons marvel.
For a moment, they forgot their anger.
Sea Charm looked warily at the other end of the rainbow and muttered softly:
“Every appearance is so unpredictable.”
With Sea Charm’s strength, she could not determine whether the scene before her with the rainbow opening the way, birds paying homage, and falling petals was a human spell or a demon talent.
Just like the current Old Priest.
The lineage of the priests had always been extremely mysterious for countless years.
No one could fully explain the nature of the Priest Lineage.
A commotion was heard.
Sea Charm looked up, her pupils contracting.
There she saw a maiden in a flowing fairy skirt, with three thousand strands of silky hair, walking on the rainbow.
Her figure was slender, her appearance as perfect as a painted sculpture, so beautiful she seemed not of this world.
The Mermaids, who prided themselves on their beauty, seemed dim in comparison to her visage.
She was the Old Priest.
Sea Charm looked on enviously: “How many years has it been.”
“She still looks like a maiden!”
Agelessness was the unique trait of the Priest Lineage.
Their appearances would forever remain at eighteen years old.
Even the Demon Emperor Lineage did not possess such enviable ability.
Under the mesmerized gazes of the demons, Spirit Sound walked on the rainbow, petals falling around her, elegantly reaching the Holy Altar.
Seeing her indescribably beautiful mother, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of inferiority.
Yao Yue was also extremely beautiful.
Among humans, she would undoubtedly be a renowned beauty.
But compared to her mother Spirit Sound, she seemed lackluster.
Her mother Spirit Sound, not only was beautiful but also extremely powerful.
Apart from the Demon Emperor, no one in the Demon Race could rival her.
Her wisdom was unrivaled.
She was known as the Demon Race’s strategist.
Often, the Demon Emperor would consult her on major decisions.
In comparison, Yao Yue, who commanded over ten thousand Dead Corpses and suffered a crushing defeat, appeared utterly incompetent.
“Mother, your daughter has disappointed you.”
Yao Yue lowered her head in shame.
Her eyes full of sorrow.
Spirit Sound looked at her indifferently, her eyes calm and unperturbed.
“Wait until the Demon Emperor arrives.”
They did not wait long.
Suddenly, demon clouds gathered in the sky.
Plunging the earth into darkness.
A terrifying demon energy that made the demons prostrate slowly descended from the demon clouds.
The weaker Beast Kings trembled and knelt on the ground.
The War Kings also knelt in fear.
Only the Five Demon Kings and the Six War Generals fared slightly better, but still lowered their heads.
Not daring to look up.
The previously agitated Holy Altar.
Instantly fell silent.
The demon clouds morphed.
Forming a massive, indifferent face.
From the empty eye sockets, a majestic pressure exclusive to the Demon Race Supreme shot forth.
“Why was this battle lost?”
The indifferent voice rolled across the sky like heavenly thunder.
Making the hearts of the demons tremble.
The Five Demon Kings and the War Generals, too, kneeled in terror, prostrating on the ground.
So this was the so-called divine might?
Yao Yue’s body trembled violently.
Being stared at by those empty eyes made her feel as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart.
Prostrating on the ground, she trembled: “Please allow Yao Yue to recount the events of this battle.”
The giant face in the sky uttered a word like heavenly thunder.
The Demon Kings, War Generals, War Kings, and even the Beast Kings on the ground showed dissatisfaction.
Did she still want to make excuses?
As Yao Yue recounted, their expressions gradually changed.
When they heard that Boundary Mountain had prepared unlimited timber and torches.
They were taken aback.
“How could there be so much timber in the ten-thousand-mile snowfield of Boundary Mountain?”
“Could it be that the humans were prepared?”
“Impossible! Not to mention the sudden mobilization of the Dead Corpses Army, even we didn’t know about it, how could the humans have known in advance?”
“Moreover, how far is Giant City from Boundary Mountain?”
“Transporting an immense amount of timber would consume enormous manpower, resources, and time.”
“Without several years, it would be impossible to accumulate enough.”
One of the Five Demon Kings, Sky-Devouring Tiger, spoke in a deep voice:
“It’s the hidden space within the Great Wall.”
“It stores strategic supplies from ancient wars!”
“However, the locations of those hidden spaces had long been forgotten, even the Nine-Sect Masters might not know.”
“It seems there was a master among the Boundary Mountain defenders guiding them.”
The crowd felt relieved.
If this were the case, it made sense.
No wonder Yao Yue’s Dead Corpses Army suffered such heavy losses at the start.
The Dead Corpses Army indeed feared no pain and death.
But they greatly feared yang elements.
Fire was one of them.
“But even so, half of the Dead Corpses Army still remained!”
“Was there another unexpected incident?”
“Ultimately, it’s still due to Yao Yue’s incompetence!”
The giant face in the sky spoke indifferently.
Yao Yue carefully chose her words and continued to recount the battle.
As she spoke further.
The voices questioning her gradually disappeared.
In their place, there was astonishment and rage.
“He broke the ice, delaying the battle!”
“He led the Green Cloud Sect, buying the final critical time for the Heavenly Thunder!”
“When Yao Yue finally played her trump card, annihilating the True Thunder Sect’s disciples, rendering the Heavenly Thunder useless.”
“This wretched Jiang Fan, also mastering the Thunder Path Technique, manipulated the Heavenly Thunder, completely reversing the situation!”
“Who exactly is this Jiang Fan?”
“He’s simply a nemesis of the Demon Race!”
“I misunderstood Yao Yue; her command was not the problem, her strategy was actually quite sound.”
“The problem lies with that human brat, Jiang Fan!”
“Damn it, I’ll sneak into the Human Clan and kill this bastard!”
The grievance in Yao Yue’s eyes faded away.
The crowd finally understood that this defeat was not entirely her fault, right?
It did not mean she was off the hook.
Because no matter what, she was a defeated general.
Guilt was unavoidable.
She prostrated on the ground, saying: “Yao Yue has finished her report.”
“Please impose punishment, Demon Emperor.”
