C355 Investigate the Military Situation
Huo Zhangfeng nodded his head, "That's right. It's not easy to form a Nascent Infant in a hundred years and become a Spiritual Infant Stage warrior. Breaking through the Void in a hundred years is even harder! "
He looked at Feng Changli, "However, heroes emerge in troubled times. Whenever the devil tribulation erupts, there will always be some outstanding geniuses who will jump out. Breaking through the Void in a hundred years, although it sounds very shocking, it isn't impossible."
Feng Changli nodded his head. In his heart, he was thinking about how he could let Lin Yue die.
Back then, he plotted against a sword cultivator and caused him to fail in his Soul Formation. Since Lin Yue had accepted the inheritance of a sword cultivator, he would never let him go.
Although Lin Yue was only a Spiritual Infant Stage warrior now, and he could kill him with just a flick of his finger, the problem now was that he couldn't do it openly.
If others knew that he had killed Lin Yue, Qing Yue and the Heavenly Tao Sect would definitely not let him go.
In fact, what he was worried about was not only the threat that Lin Yue posed to him, but also the fact that he was afraid that Lin Yue would announce what he had done to the world in the future.
Currently, Lin Yue was still a man of few words, but when he grew up in the future, many people would believe him. At that time, his reputation would be ruined.
This was the reason why he wanted Lin Yue to die.
The reason he sent Lin Yue to investigate was because of his suggestion. He hoped that Lin Yue would be found and killed by the Devil Clan!
"Alright, let's call it a day. Everyone is tired. Let's go and rest and wait for the good news from Lin Yue." Feng Changli said.
Everyone nodded and left.
Lin Yue returned to the tent and instructed Ning'er to go and investigate.
"Brother, why did they send you to carry out such a dangerous mission?" Lan Ning'er hugged his arm and did not let him go.
"Ning'er, they must have their own reasons for making such arrangements." Lin Yue said.
He did not want Ning'er to worry, so he did not plan to tell him the truth.
"But..."
"Don't worry. It's fine. I still have a puppet to protect me. Don't worry." Lin Yue patted her head. Without giving her a chance to explain, he sped away.
He was afraid that Ning'er would follow him if he said anything more.
This time, the investigation was very dangerous. He couldn't let Ning'er take the risk.
"Be careful!" Ning'er looked at his disappearing figure and shouted.
She immediately pouted and kicked a small stone in front of her, then returned to the tent.
"What's wrong?" Lee Luo was adjusting her breathing when she opened her eyes and asked with a smile.
"They sent my brother to investigate the Devil Clan. Are these elders out of their minds? They don't need a Void-breaking Expert, but they want my brother to go. This isn't gathering information, this is courting death." Ning'er said angrily.
"Don't think too much about it. Lin Yue should be fine." Lee Luo blinked and said.
"I hope so." Ning'er said.
Lin Yue sped away in the sky. Previously, the Devil Clan had destroyed the Blackhot City. If his guess was correct, Mang Hsing would lead the army in this city.
"Feng Changli, you want to kill me? How can it be so easy?" He said to himself.
Back then, he had promised the sword cultivator that he would kill Feng Changli within five hundred years to avenge him, in order to obtain the inheritance.
Now, it seemed like this man was really too vicious. He actually wanted to kill him over and over again. If there was a chance in the future, he wouldn't be polite either.
When he was a thousand miles away from the Blackhot City, he put on the Invisibility Robe and used the Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique to completely conceal his aura.
In this way, he didn't need to worry about being discovered.
Currently, he had already cultivated the Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique to the large success stage. The defensive part had reached the stage where he could condense the Black Tortoise Armor.
Although the Black Tortoise Armor was now extremely sturdy and could be compared to a top tier Spiritual Weapon, there was still room for improvement in the armor.
He arrived at a mountain range near the Blackhot City, not daring to get too close.
This mountain range towered into the clouds. From here, one could see the entire Blackhot City.
If there was a large-scale operation of the Devil Clan, he could also see it.
He opened up a cave on top of the cliff. After setting up the formation, he waved his sleeve and several golden lights flew out towards the Blackhot City.
These were all insects. Although they weren't as powerful as Insect King's four-winged Golden Silkworm, they had mutated several times, except for their heads.
* Hong Long...... *
Lin Yue had a total of ten such insects. Although there were many insects on the insect slaves' bodies, none of them were as powerful as these ten insects.
As long as these ten insects underwent another mutation, they would be able to reach Insect King's level.
These insects were now completely under Lin Yue's control.
What they saw would appear in Lin Yue's mind.
It should be a good choice to send these bugs out to investigate.
This time, the insects were extremely small, only the size of a soybean, and their speed was extremely fast, making it difficult for them to be detected.
In order to increase their stealth, Lin Yue even let them roll around in the mud pond before flying towards the city.
More than ten insects dispersed in different directions, shuttling through the low grass in different directions.
Lin Yue was in the cave, closing his eyes slightly, but his mind was filled with images of the ten insects.
The Devil Clan did not set up the city-protecting formation in Blackhot City. This was a sign of extreme confidence and conceit.
However, Mang Hsing was qualified to do so. Not to mention the number of soldiers he commanded, just Luo Hou alone, Xiaotian, who was a devil king, did not need to be afraid that the humans would take the initiative to attack him.
Although he didn't take down Huajin City this time, he was well aware of the strength of Huo Zhangfeng and the others. He could send more people here and break through the city in one fell swoop next time.
In the Blackhot City, devil Qi was rising. Numerous disciples of Devil Clan were healing their wounds.
The insects flew into the city in a low profile manner and landed on the trees and the lawn. They found a secluded place to hide and observe the situation in the city.
Lin Yue could clearly see the situation in the city through these insects. Right now, the Devil Clan were recuperating and resting. Perhaps they were waiting for the arrival of the following troops.
As the leader of the Devil Kings of the Devil Clan, Mang Hsing couldn't just bring a hundred thousand Devil Clan with him. There would definitely be more of them.
Lin Yue was patiently waiting. The first day passed very quickly.
The Devil Clan in Blackhot City didn't make any big moves. There were about ninety thousand people.
There were originally one hundred thousand people, but in the last intense battle, ten thousand died.
The bugs continued to observe. Lin Yue was also cultivating in the cave.
He had previously refined the Devil Infant of the Demon King, and condensed four Devil Print, stepping into the realm of Demon Spirits.
If he fused with the Devil Body's clone now, who knew how powerful he would become?
He could now kill a low-rank Demon King without relying on a puppet.
Now, he was looking forward to the explosive power of his combat power after merging with the ___'s clone.
The fourth level of the Fiendgod Indestructible Body was the method to form and fuse his clone.
When he had time to cultivate, he had turned the Demon King's body into a puppet.
The strength of a Devil King was equivalent to a human Void Breaking Stage, but the combat strength of this puppet created by Lin Yue was only at the Peak of Spiritual Infant Stage.
In order to avoid giving himself away in future battles, Lin Yue changed the appearance of the Devil King and changed into a black robe. It was hard to tell what was going on from the outside.
On the third day, an image flashed across Lin Yue's mind. Immediately, his facial expression changed, and he hastily summoned the insects, put on the Invisibility Robe, and flew towards the Huajin City.
"Martial Uncle, Devil Clan has sent another fifty thousand reinforcements to Blackhot City. I'm afraid they will attack us soon." Lin Yue returned to Huajin City and reported to Daoxu.
Daoxu's expression changed, and he immediately sent out a message with his Divine Sense.
"Follow me."
Daoxu brought him to the meeting room. After that, Huo Zhangfeng, Feng Changli, and the others all arrived.
"Devil Clan has increased another fifty thousand soldiers. This is within my expectation." Huo Zhangfeng said, "Fortunately, we have a backup plan. The sixty thousand soldiers of Daxuan Country should arrive in two hours."
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this. In this way, they could relax and defend against the enemy.
"Lin Yue has done well in obtaining the information this time. After the battle is over, I will definitely reward you." Huo Zhangfeng said.
"Thank you, Huo Great Minister of War. However, killing demonic devils is something that cultivators like me should do. There's no need to reward me." Lin Yue said, "But if we were to fight it head on, I'm afraid the result would be the same as last time."
"Then what do you suggest?" Huo Zhangfeng asked.
"Now that we know the forces of Devil Clan attacking the city, we should set up a trap and wait for them to attack the city." Lin Yue said.
There was no such thing as deception in war. Although the number of human cultivators was no less than the number of Devil Clan led by Mang Hsing, it was still not a good idea to fight them head on.
Huo Zhangfeng nodded, "Your suggestion is good, but do you have any specific measures?"
"We can do this. We will first place the reinforcements outside the city..." Lin Yue said slowly.
...
At this time, Mang Hsing was sitting in the middle of the hall in Huajin City.
Xiaotian, Luo Hou and the other Devil Kings were sitting respectfully on both sides of the hall.
"Our fifty thousand reinforcements will arrive soon. Should we start the attack now?" Luo Hou asked.
Mang Hsing waved his hand and said, "Night is the time when our combat strength is at its peak. When they arrive and take a rest, we will definitely take down the Huajin City tonight. Otherwise, another plan might fail."
Luo Hou nodded and said, "I just don't know if there will be any reinforcements from the human cultivators."
"Not many of the people Huo Zhangfeng brought with him died this time. We don't know if there are any reinforcements yet." Mang Hsing said, "But we have to act now that there are reinforcements. This is DeVIL Emperor's order."
Xiaotian and Luo Hou exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly.
"This time, Master DeVIL Emperor has really played his part. Even you are here. I'm sure the human cultivators will continue to increase their military strength."0
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the only way to make our opponents think that... We have to make a breakthrough on this route." Mang Hsing said, "So, no matter what, we have to make a good show of ourselves and try to attract as much attention as possible."
Luo Hou and Xiaotian nodded and left to make arrangements.
A moment later, in the sky above Blackhot City, a large group of people flew over.
These were the fifty thousand reinforcements from the Devil Clan. They had finally arrived.
According to Mang Hsing's request, they would first rest and reorganize to their best condition.
When the moon first rose, the world was very quiet. Occasionally, they would hear the cries of spirit beasts, which made it seem even quieter.
A moment later, a dark mass of people flew towards the direction of Huajin City.
