Chapter 2098: Night Raid

're surrounded by people.I heard it was that young man who beat up forty-something people just the other day!But there are also rumors that the figure of Li Xiaomo was seen in the underground martial..."Not here for tea, then" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Our Extermination Demon Alliance wishes to join your Fang Sect's camp and jointly oppose the Twenty-Four Great Clans Allied Army!" Ling Zhen said with conviction.

"Oh"

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Ling Zhen, then swept over the more than 400 cultivators of the Demon Extermination Society behind him.

And then, he saw that all the cultivators' faces were filled with determination, not a trace of hesitation.

This was something Fang Yu had expected all along.

As long as they appear sufficiently resolute and give others a glimpse of hope for victory, more and more individuals who were initially prepared to retreat will join their ranks.

"Are you sure" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, all those who are here with me now have made up their minds." Ling Zhen said, "We want to do our part, for our own homeland and for the blood that runs through our veins."

"It seems you're admitting to being a human" Fang Yu smiled.

"I believe that deep down, everyone knows they belong to the human race. It's just that various factors...cause them to refuse to admit it," Lingzhen replied.

These cultivators not only came from the Demon-Exterminating Alliance, but also from various sects or families in different regions.

"They may not have aimed for the lofty goal of protecting humanity. More likely, it was... protecting those around them. But they were all quite capable, their cultivation reaching the Heavenly Pole Realm or above."

"Not bad." Fang Yu nodded and said, "The more people who join, the better. Of course, I wouldn't refuse you joining."

Ling Zhen nodded and then asked, "So, Sect Master Fang, what should we do next"

Fang Yu glanced at the numerous members of the Demon Slayer Association present, then turned to Hua Yan and smiled faintly: "This is the question I was just thinking about."

"Have you thought of the result" Hua Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"There are results, but I need your help." Fang Yu said.

……

In the following time, Fang Yu and Ling Zhen, along with Hua Yan, returned to the back mountain of Yuhua Gate.

Fang Yu simply told Hua Yan and Ling Zhen his thoughts.

The idea is actually very simple...That is, taking the initiative to attack while the twenty-four clans are still in chaos!

"Their main strength lies in their gathered legions, and these legions... are now either still on the return journey or... perhaps stationed halfway, awaiting further orders." Fang Yu said, "This means that their clan's current defense is very weak."

"And on the contrary, we struck their stronghold at this time… and would throw the legions still outside into utter chaos.”

"All in all, a surprise attack at this time would be very effective."

"That's true! This is an opportunity," Lingzhen said, her eyes gleaming. "We can't always be on the defensive; we need to take the initiative... only then will we have a chance to completely dismantle their power."

"The only issue is, we need to get complete and detailed intel." Fang Yu looked at Hua Yan and said.

Huayán lightly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded. "My subordinates infiltrated the major clans long ago… So, I can provide you with the information you desire. However... it's not as comprehensive as you might hope."

"It's fine, as long as you tell me the core areas of those major clans, that's enough." Fang Yu said.

"That's easy." Huayan said.

"Alright, then it's settled." Fang Yu stood up and looked at Ling Zhen, saying, "You gather the cultivators above the Enlightenment Realm from your Demon Slayer Association, and then... we can set off."

"Good!" Ling Zhen nodded.

……

After half an hour, fifty-six cultivators at the Wuhua stage gathered on the back mountain of Yuhua Gate.

Plus Fang Yu, Ling Zhen, and Hua Yan, there are a total of fifty-nine people.

This is the raiding party for tonight.

And the target of the raid was the Lingjiao clan closest to the distant mountain range.

Since it was a surprise attack, the team couldn't be too large and conspicuous.

Therefore, Fang Yu did not bring those pureblood demon spirits with him, but instead let them continue to guard the Huazhi Gate.

"Alright, we... are leaving now."

Fang Yu held the map Flower Yan had given him in his hand. It clearly marked the core area of the Lingjiao tribe.

Yuansheng Palace.

This is the palace where Emperor Qiyuan, the supreme ruler of the Lingjiao clan, resides!

Once this is taken down, the Spirit Horn clan will crumble.

After a short rest, Fang Yu led the raiding party to the Far Edge Mountains through Bebe's mark.

Then, using three layers of the Divine Traveling Talismans, he swiftly sped towards the territory of the Lingjiao clan!

……

Night falls.

In the Yuansheng Palace, silence hung heavy over the main hall.

The Emperor of the Lingjiao clan, Emperor Qiyuan, sat solemnly upon his throne, his face grim and silent.

He glanced at the many ministers before him.

These are all high-ranking members of the Lingjiao clan, who hold positions of power and authority in their daily lives.

Now, they tremble and dare not utter a word.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Emperor Qiyuan's expression contorted into a ferocious grimace as he slammed his fist onto the table.

"Don't all just stand there like dumb statues! I called you all here to get your ideas, not to watch these old fools put on a show!" Emperor Qiyuan roared with fury.

This statement frightened all the ministers so badly that their legs went weak, and they all knelt down.

Since most generals had already set out with the legions, only scholars remained in the palace.

Where could they possibly withstand the terrifying aura that Emperor Qiyuan was unleashing now

But the more these ministers trembled, the angrier Emperor Qianyuan felt.

"You..." Emperor Qiyuan raised his right hand, pointing at the many ministers lying on the ground, and roared, "You are all a bunch of useless wastes!"

"Your Majesty, matters have come to this. We haven't received any news from the legions yet. Venting your anger upon these scholars… is pointless."

At that moment, a calm voice spoke.

A man clad in black, with a fair and youthful countenance, stepped forward. At a distance of less than ten meters from the Emperor Qiyuan, he raised his head and spoke.

Within the entire Yuansheng Palace, or even the entire Lingjiao clan... only one person could speak to Emperor Qiyuan in such a tone.

He is the man with a youthful appearance.

His name is Dao Yu, and he was the Emperor Qiyuan's playmate when he was young. Now, he is the Emperor Qiyuan's only confidante.

After hearing Dao Yu's words, although the Great Emperor Qi Yuan was still angry, he had calmed down a lot.

“What do you think we should do next” The Emperor Qiyuan took a deep breath and asked, “There’s been no information from the entire legion. When I inquired with other clans, they were also in chaos and couldn’t offer any answers! Should we send someone out to find the legion Or wait for those useless fools to return and report”

"It's quite simple. As for news regarding the legions, just wait patiently; intelligence will eventually arrive. As for what the Allied Forces will do next, it depends on the attitudes of the other major clans and what the Wangu Pavilion says." Dao Yu said, "And right now, I believe the most important thing... is to prepare for a counterattack from the human race." mid-air, looking at the two humans before her, a warning bell ringing in her heart.These two humans' abilities are clearly not weak!Due to the erosion of time, it is now only at perhaps three percent...
