The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2016 - 2015: Reorganizing the Troops
When everyone fought desperately against the Demon Race, the Nine Clans did not think of going down to battle but continued to hold back from behind.
The nearby crowd had had enough of it, and it was already courteous of them not to hurl swords and knives at the old men.
Below the mountain, humans, demons, and demons were all entangled in a chaotic battle, and from above, it was no longer clear which side was which.
It was obvious that the ravaging of the Demon Soldiers was diminishing, retreating under the desperate slaughter of the resistance forces, gradually regrouping from their scattered formation.
The refugees from the cities below finally had time to head to the upper city.
They all traveled through the transport passages to Celestial Realms City, and by the afternoon, they were all settled in the city, scattering across the open spaces.
Below the city, after Long Fei had slaughtered hundreds of Demon Kings in succession, the Demon Race’s rear command finally collapsed.
They sent down a retreat order, retreating wildly. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, they surged and receded.
The battlefield, densely packed, was littered with corpses.
There were Humans, Demon Races, Demon Clans.
In the face of war, life was so fragile and unbearable.
The army did not pursue but retreated to guard various cities.
They were a temporarily assembled force of resistance, with no unified leadership.
When the Demonic Beasts retreated, all the scattered troops were the first to withdraw.
The Nine Clans forces in Celestial Realms City emerged from the central city, controlling all the transport passages.
Only allowing Imperial Guards and various Loose Cultivators to go up, the Divine Race army from afar, and the Demon Army, were barred outside, setting up camps below the city.
They disdained to ascend to the city, organizing their forces below, treating the wounded, encircling to form a massive defensive circle.
After the Seventh Princess led the Ma Army up, she scolded the Nine Clan’s descendants guarding the portal, "Who let you guard here? Open the Domain Gate and let everyone up the city."
She was worried that at night if the Demon Race attacked again, the resistance forces below would suffer and be ambushed by the Demon Army.
The Nine Clan’s descendants above hung their heads and said, "It’s a decision from the court; we are just following orders. If the Princess wants them to come up, she just needs to get a mandate from the court, and we’ll open the gate and let them through immediately."
"Fine, I’d like to see which treacherous officials are harming the Human Race!"
The Seventh Princess, furious, pointed at them and scolded them with her whip, not having time to meet with Long Fei, she led her team to the central city.
Below the city, the common people spontaneously collected grain to supply the two armies.
An elder served wine, toasting to Chu Feng of the Divine Race and the two demon kings, Black Bear and Kui Ox, saying, "Heroes, we have come here voluntarily to see you. Please accept these offerings, on behalf of the people of Celestial Realms City and our fellow refugees, we thank you all!"
Each soldier in the army was handed a large bowl, and someone poured fine wine into rows of cups.
Chu Feng and his men raised their glasses first, and nearly a hundred thousand troops lifted their heads, drinking it all in one go.
Black Bear Demon King wiped his mouth and shouted, "Refreshing! I’ve been a demon for so many years and have never drunk wine offered by the Human Race!"
Everyone laughed, immediately lighting bonfires below to roast meat and cook food.
On the battlefield, twelve eerily dark creatures continued devouring flesh, clearing the field.
Chu Feng and his group with Kui Ox Demon King, Black Bear Demon King, sat together, already acquainted on Immortal King Mountain.
The Black Bear Demon King and Kui Ox Demon King also knew that their master was the master of those twelve Witch Gods.
Kui Ox Demon King and Da Heiniu each took a large wine jar, clinking and gulping it down.
He looked around, curiously asking, "Why hasn’t the master come yet?"
Da Heiniu rolled his eyes upward, "Second brother, can you sit down and talk?"
Kui Ox Demon King retorted, "Have you ever seen a one-legged ox sit on the ground? I’m already doing a difficult move by squatting. And don’t call me second brother. Comparing our ages, it seems I’m even older!"
Da Heiniu raised a fist, "I wanted to compete with you last time on Immortal King Mountain. How about we find a place for a match?"
Kui Ox snorted two white puffs through his nose, "A match it is! Do you think our Kui Ox bloodline is afraid of you, black ox?"
Da Heiniu’s nostrils also snorted a puff of white mist, "Hey, I’m of the Primordial Wild Bull Bloodline, what black ox are you talking about?"
Old Lvv howled, fearing a dull moment, and cheered on, "Fight, I’ll referee. Whoever wins will be the boss."
"Shut your donkey mouth!"
The two oxen called out together, and without another word, raised their fists and started brawling, thundering as if shaking the ground.
Black Bear Demon King looked on, swallowed, and asked Chu Feng, "Second brother, will they be alright?"
Chu Feng laughed heartily, "What’s the problem? That’s typical of the Ox Clan. Let’s drink and not bother with them."
"You’re right!"
The Black Bear laughed, lifting his wine bowl and drinking heartily.
Far away, within the Ninth Heaven Annihilation Immortal Formation, nine Immortal Swords remained aloft from dusk until midnight before descending.
Inside, Long Fei devotedly refined a million demon soldiers, and it wasn’t until midnight that he fully absorbed the blood qi, storing it within the array diagram.
This blood qi would transform into energy, driving the entire array, eliminating the need for Spirit Stones like ordinary magical treasures.
Wang Xiaoya quietly guarded him by the side, and when he finally put away the array, her cold demeanor transformed, revealing a captivating smile.
Under the moonlight, her white dress mirrored an immortal’s, unmatched and solitary.
Long Fei smiled gently and asked her, "How is everyone?"
Wang Xiaoya gestured into the distance, "They’re drinking and eating. The people above won’t let the army up, so everyone can only risk camping below the city."
Long Fei nodded, "I expected as much. We’ll have to visit the court once."
Wang Xiaoya replied, "The Seventh Princess has already gone, I guess there’ll be news by tomorrow?"
Long Fei said calmly, "She alone cannot control the court; only with the Emperor Mandate can those old men be convinced."
"The Emperor Mandate?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Wang Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t that the person who helped us escape?"
"Yes, he is the Emperor."
Long Fei’s expression grew wistful.
His and Wang Xiaoya’s safe return was all thanks to the Emperor’s help.
The Emperor’s last wish was for him to take care of the Seventh Princess.
He felt a deep sense of debt, of an obligation he could not repay.
When he and Wang Xiaoya returned, they first met with Chu Feng and the others, sitting together for a drink.
The two oxen, after half a day of fighting, upon seeing him approach, hurriedly stopped and excitedly greeted him with clasped fists.
Long Fei chuckled, "Why stop fighting? We were waiting to eat roast beef!"
Everyone held back their laughter, casting glances at the two ox demons.
Da Heiniu slung an arm around Kui Ox Demon King’s shoulders, laughing heartily, "Master, we were just sparring, no real animosity. From now on, Kui Ox and I are sworn brothers; I’m the eldest, and he’s the second."
Kui Ox Demon King awkwardly chuckled, not daring to compete with Da Heiniu over rank in front of Long Fei, conceding to their new hierarchy.
Long Fei advised them, "Guard well below the city. The Demon Race has retreated, but they may come back again. I’ll go to Celestial Realms City and get them to open the transport gate to let everyone up."
Chu Feng asked, "Need us to help?"
Long Fei shook his head, "I can handle it alone. More people could cause suspicion."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Wang Xiaoya worriedly said, "How about I go with you?"
"Check on your sect. It’s been three months; they’re probably worried about you."
Long Fei smiled and patted her head, unable to take her with him.
Some matters involved the Seventh Princess, and Wang Xiaoya’s presence might trouble her if she heard them.
