I Am Overlord-Chapter 1520: Huang Tianji Reappears

The imperial soldiers were so frightened by Devouring Ghost that they all fled in disorder.

"Useless bugs. Even the likes of you dare to raise your voice against the overlord? If this was any other time, I would have killed all of you!" said Devouring Ghost unhappily.

After returning to the Great Saint Realm, Devouring Ghost now carried the temperament of a tyrant. Even the leader of these imperial soldiers would have to show sufficient respect before him. Thus, these mere footsoldiers were merely courting death by raising their voice against him.

"Ignore them. Let's talk about our plan," said Xiang Shaoyun. "We need to guard this place for three years. During these three years, we will take turns fighting. I'll split all of you into different groups. Each group will fight for seven days at a time. Of course, if there are any serious injuries, you are allowed to return in advance."

Xiang Shaoyun started detailing his plan to them. Each group would fight for seven days before another group took over. A period of seven days was just nice as it wasn't too long or too short. It would be good enough to temper everyone. They might be here to stop the devil invasion, but they were also treating the devils as the hammer that would forge them into shape.

The first group consisted of Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and 50 other people. Xiang Shaoyun had arranged for Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine to be in the same group because he wished to see the two grow closer through battle, which would make his life easier because they were both people he cared a lot about. He did not want them to view each other as enemies.

Also included in their group was Chen Zilong. He had entered the Soul Foundation Realm, but he still wasn't happy with his progress. He wanted to grow stronger, to obtain the strength to challenge Long Yugang and avenge his dead woman.

"Kill!" The moment Chen Zilong arrived at the outer fringe of the battlefield, a qilin phantom manifested above him. Both his arms turned crimson as he charged into the midst of the battlefield.

As for Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine, they picked Devil Saints as their opponents. Their arrival attracted the attention of many Saints. All of the onlookers appeared dazed when they saw the two, clearly mesmerized by their beauty.

"Where did these beauties come from? They are beautiful enough to topple kingdoms."

"They're here to kill devils. What amazing resolve. I shall fight alongside them. Perhaps I can win the favor of one of them that way."

"Why don't you look at your face in the mirror? I should be the one to go. Both of them will be mine."

...

One ought to admit that humanity was truly useless at times. The moment two beauties appeared, some people forgot what they were here to do. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he stayed in the camp with the others and meditated silently.

A period of three years wasn't exactly long, but it wasn't short either. For Xiang Shaoyun, he wouldn't waste even a second of his time. Regardless of whether it was for the sake of facing the devils, the aliens, or the Yu and Di Clans, he had to grow as quickly as possible.

At this time, he took the chance to summon the Four Night Saints. The Four Night Saints were all Great Saints. When they joined hands, their formation could contend against even pseudo-Gods. Thus, they would be of great help to Xiang Shaoyun's group. In any case, he also needed to learn more about the Dusk Dynasty's current status from them.

But before the Four Night Saints arrived, the Dusk Dynasty's third prince, Huang Tianji, arrived with a group of powerful cultivators. In recent years, Huang Tianji had not shown himself much at the Dragon Phoenix Academy. It was said that he had left by himself to undergo a tempering of life and death so that he could one day catch up with Xiang Shaoyun.

He had also developed some ambitions toward the Dusk Dynasty's throne. Now that he had returned to join the war against the devils, it was obvious he had grown enough to have the confidence to accomplish meritorious achievements and win his imperial father's favor.

He had not expected to meet Xiang Shaoyun before reaching the Devil Domain's entrance. Of course, he had not seen Xiang Shaoyun yet. He was merely curious after seeing some wolfmen and humans in the encampment and decided to pay them a visit and figure out who they were. But before Huang Tianji's group could reach the encampment, they were stopped by the wolf guards.

"I am Huang Tianji, the Dusk Dynasty's third prince. I wonder if you're here to fight the devils? If so, we should go together," said Huang Tianji politely.

"Please leave. We have our own arrangements," said a wolf guard coldly.

"Audacious! Don't you know that this is the third prince? You should be honored to be granted the opportunity to fight alongside him!" berated an attendant beside Huang Tianji.

The wolf guards did not react and remained vigilant, as though they would attack if Huang Tianji's group dared to try anything.

"Third brother, ignore them. We should focus on the devils," a crisp voice suddenly rang out.

In the middle of the group was a young woman mounted atop a snow-white unicorn. She was clad in a purple outfit that perfectly accentuated her hourglass figure, and a cyan ribbon was hanging from her chest, making her look incredibly graceful.

The woman was none other than Huang Xiaoyue. She had advanced rapidly, reaching fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm. Even Huang Tianji was two stages lower than her in cultivation. She had enough strength to be ranked top three in the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Because Huang Tianji did not wish to create any unnecessary trouble so close to the Devil Domain's entrance, he waved at his people and prepared to leave. But right that moment, he saw the young man seated cross-legged atop a boulder not far from him. His lips curled into a smile as he muttered, "So it's him. No wonder they're so arrogant."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "This prince has taken a liking to this place. Move."

Xiang Shaoyun might be strong, but Huang Tianji was also surrounded by a bunch of capable cultivators. In fact, his imperial father had assigned him two pseudo-Gods for this war against the devils. Additionally, Huang Tianji also had a God by his side. On top of that, they were currently within the Dusk Dynasty's borders. Thus, he decided to stand against Xiang Shaoyun.

"Don't look for trouble," warned a wolf guard.

"Mu Jiang, chase them away. Kill anyone who resists," commanded Huang Tianji.

The old man called Mu Jiang stepped forth and berated, "Scram!"

His voice rumbled forth like a thunderclap, causing several wolf guards to bleed from their seven orifices and faint. As the wolf guards nearby were only Sovereigns, they were naturally incapable of resisting a sound attack from a Heaven Battling Realm expert.
