I alone am the Invincible One!
Chapter 261: Commander
"Hmm? What happened to that young man in white? We’re still guessing his true identity; he might not be that person’s descendant. Even if he is, his strength certainly isn’t as great as our Demon Ancestor’s," Demon War said.
"Yes, Demon War is right. Our Demon Ancestor has already reached the realm of the Primordial Demon, and his strength should not be underestimated. The Demon Ancestor just told me that he has no rivals in all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. If it were tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon Ancestor could have easily crushed that person with one hand," Demon War said at this moment.
"So, let’s not worry about this and that. Demon Emperor - Mo Wu is not wrong either, so we still need to go back and plan carefully. Since the Demon Ancestor has decided to fight, we will accompany the Demon Ancestor and bring all these myriad planes under the control of our Demon Race."
Listening to Demon War’s words, the several Demon Emperors all nodded seriously, finding it quite good.
"Alright, you all handle your current matters first. We will meet here the day after tomorrow to plan and deploy, awaiting the great battle six days from now," Demon War finished, and the other Demon Emperors each flashed away.
Demon Emperor - Mo Chang even took the Demon Sealing Sword to find Xuan Youzi of the You Realm.
In a forbidden area of the You Realm, Xuan Youzi had his eyes slightly closed.
Just then, the altar above him trembled.
Xuan Youzi knew what was happening and stood up from his meditation cushion.
"Your subordinate respectfully greets you, my lord," Xuan Youzi said.
A black mist permeated the altar, and a pair of eyes suddenly opened. Then, a voice said, "Hmm, I’m back. Take this sword. I’ve reported everything to the Demon Ancestor. We will counterattack in six days. Your task is to create chaos internally on the day of the attack. We will coordinate from inside and out to catch them off guard."
The voice speaking was precisely Demon Emperor - Mo Chang, who had just arrived from the Demon Realm.
"Your subordinate has already engraved your command in his heart, my lord. Please rest assured; just watch my performance in six days," Xuan Youzi said.
"Hmm, I’ve left the item here for you, and I’ve delivered the message. Do you have anything else? I need to go back and discuss the war matters with the other Demon Emperors," Demon Emperor - Mo Chang said.
Xuan Youzi hesitated for a moment and then said, "My lord, have you told the Demon Ancestor about the young man in white? Does the Demon Ancestor know about this person, or do you, my lord, know his origin?"
Hearing Xuan Youzi say this, Demon Emperor - Mo Chang hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to speak:
"We’re not entirely clear about the specific identity of that young man in white, but we have a slight clue now. In short, just do your part. And let me tell you one more thing: that young man in white is very likely the descendant of an ancient taboo, one whom even the Demon Ancestor feared a little. That was for the previous Demon Ancestor; the current Demon Ancestor is now the number one person in all realms. Six days from now will be the day of humanity’s demise."
Listening to Demon Emperor - Mo Chang’s words, Xuan Youzi’s heart also trembled. He didn’t know Wang Yufan’s specific origin, but the Demon Ancestor could speak of a ’taboo’s descendant,’ which made him tremble a little.
He had heard that tens of thousands of years ago, in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there was a Great Emperor Changsheng who sealed the Demon Ancestor in the Netherworld Star Abyss and then disappeared without a trace. And the former site of Great Emperor Changsheng was the Lingxu Realm, which is now the Demon Realm. If the young man in white was the descendant of that Great Emperor Changsheng, then how powerful would the person cultivated by that person be? Or perhaps Great Emperor Changsheng was still alive.
Thinking of this, Xuan Youzi felt his scalp tingle. If such a terrifying figure was still alive and knew he had betrayed humanity, he might even be torn to pieces. Xuan Youzi’s mind was already planning how he would escape if such a thing happened.
...
Time flew by like a white steed passing a crevice, and five short days vanished in an instant. In the Asura Realm, above the Shura Emperor’s great hall.
Eight leaders representing humanity’s strongest combat power were gathered at this moment, while Wang Yufan stood to the side, observing.
"Alright, since everyone has arrived here at the time we agreed upon five days ago, we will listen to this Young Master’s arrangements. Oh, by the way, we few still don’t know how to address you, Young Master?" the Shura Emperor said.
Hearing the Shura Emperor’s words, Wang Yufan smiled and said, "Me? You can just call me Young Master Changsheng..."
Just then, the sound of a cup falling to the ground and shattering rang out. Several people looked over, only to see that the sound came from Xuan Youzi’s hand in the You Realm.
"Young Master Changsheng... Great Emperor Changsheng... Young Master Changsheng... Great Emperor Changsheng," Xuan Youzi kept muttering in his heart at this moment.
"Xuan Youzi, what’s wrong with you? We’re discussing serious matters; why are you distracted?" the Shura Emperor said jokingly.
Hearing the Shura Emperor’s words, Xuan Youzi also knew he had been a bit out of sorts just now.
"My apologies, everyone. I was a bit nervous. Thinking about attacking the Demon Race still excites me a little. I was just lost in thought. My apologies. Where were you just now?" Xuan Youzi said.
"Don’t get too excited. Although your strength is slightly weaker compared to ours, we have the Demon Sealing Sword in our hands. With it, you can definitely fight that Demon Emperor. Oh, right, we just got to this Young Master’s name. We can just call him Young Master Changsheng."
"Oh, oh, I see. That’s fine," Xuan Youzi said, easing the awkwardness.
But just at this moment, Wang Yufan said something intentionally or unintentionally that almost made Xuan Youzi’s heart, which had just settled, jump into his throat.
"You are the strongest in the You Realm, aren’t you? I see your recent fortune isn’t very good; your complexion is dark. There might be trouble brewing, so you should pay close attention," Wang Yufan finished, and everyone else thought Wang Yufan was just joking. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
But Xuan Youzi had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Does he know I conspired with the Demon Race? Or does he know I took the Demon Sealing Sword to the Demon Race? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if he is that person’s descendant, he shouldn’t have such heaven-defying means. But why does this name feel a bit strange?" Xuan Youzi thought to himself.
But he still pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "Young Master Changsheng is joking. We are about to attack the Demon Race, and my strength might hold everyone back, so I’m just a little worried. But with the Demon Sealing Sword in hand, I believe we can definitely exterminate the Demon Race."
Hearing Xuan Youzi’s words, Wang Yufan smiled and said nothing else.
The Shura Emperor then said:
"Alright, since everyone is here, we need to recommend a commander to be responsible for the personnel deployment this time. Originally, I thought voting would be the most reasonable, but I personally feel that Young Master Changsheng should be the commander for this attack on the Demon Race. What do you all think? Of course, you can also vote."
Hearing the Shura Emperor’s words, the others also expressed their agreement, and Xuan Youzi also agreed.
"Good, since everyone agrees, then I think Young Master Changsheng will humble himself and serve as the commander for this attack on the Demon Realm," the Shura Emperor said.
Hearing the Shura Emperor’s words, Wang Yufan shook his head and said, "No... I won’t be the leader of this command. I think you’re quite good; you can do it. I’ll just be a strategist."
"This... isn’t this a bit inappropriate? How can I be the commander this time? Elder Red Scale is more suitable than me. Young Master Changsheng, please reconsider. I think you are the most suitable," the Shura Emperor said.
Wang Yufan continued to shake his head:
"Being a commander isn’t about how high your strength is, but about having an awareness of commanding troops in battle. I’m not good at it, so you do it."
"Hmm, I also agree with what Young Master Changsheng said. Shura Emperor, you be the commander of this army, and I can be a vanguard," Red Scale of the Demon Realm said.
Hearing this, the Shura Emperor looked at the others and saw that they also nodded. Finally, the Shura Emperor said:
"Since Young Master Changsheng and everyone else thinks so highly of me, then I will be the commander for this attack on the Demon Race. Then I will roughly arrange it like this."
