Chapter 202
The three factions from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect and the Sky Beast Palaces five thousand elite forces crossed to Hubei Province by land from Hunan Province. Traveling through the Changjiang River could have reduced the time and effort they spent, but they had no boat that could accommodate such a large army.
After passing by Jingzhou, Jingmen, and Yicheng, they headed for Mount Longzhong.
The Southern Sky Branch, which had gathered at the Great Zhuge Familys manor, closely monitored their enemys movements. When they were only a day away, the Southern Sky Branch immediately activated the Forbidden Soul Destroyer Array just in case the enemy was planning to launch a surprise attack.
Arriving the next day and confirming that the Zhuge Family had activated the Forbidden Soul Destroyer Array, the three Divine Demons and Sky Beast Palace Patriarch immediately held a meeting.
You all are probably aware that nothing can break through the Zhuge Familys Forbidden Soul Destroyer Array. We cannot attack them for the next fifteen days, Myriad Poison Divine Demon Gal Cheon-Dok said.
The fact that they used it means that they are trying to delay us because their combat capacity is inferior to ours, Invincible Divine Demon So Geuk-Sang commented.
I doubt that is all they are doing. They have most likely requested for reinforcement from the Shaolin Temple or the Wudang Sect. Heavenly Killer Divine Demon Dok Go-Seong added.
Good point. Those factions previous generation of martial artists could have already reached the Supreme Realm. Things could get complicated if they actually come to the Zhuge Familys assistance, Geuk-Sang said.
I have heard that those people have already turned their backs on the secular world and now live in seclusion deep in the mountains, doing nothing but cultivating to ascend to immortality. It is unlikely that they will join them, Cheon-Dok reassured them.
Even so, if they find out that murim is in danger, there is a chance that they would not turn a blind eye to this, Go-Seong countered, finding it unwise to ignore even the slightest possibilities.
Frowning, Cheon-Dok asked in a slightly annoyed tone, What do you plan to do, then?
We have to closely observe our surroundings and determine if those people are coming to the Zhuge Familys manor. Our best course of action is to find and eliminate them before they reach the Zhuge Familys manor.
Keeping an eye on Supreme-Realm masters is meaningless. They can easily avoid the surveillance of Absolute-Realm masters if they hide their traces.
It is still better than not doing anything at all, Go-Seong firmly argued.
I agree. Even if it fails, it will not hurt to have a surveillance network, Geuk-Sang added, leaving Cheon-Dok no choice but to follow them.
Fine. We will increase our surveillance on the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect. However, as I have already said, if they have reached the Supreme Realm masters, then they will easily avoid the eyes we have planted. We should not let our guard down even if our surveillance team does not catch anything, Cheon-Dok said in a serious tone.
You have a point. Assuming that they have already joined the forces in the Zhuge Familys manor should help reduce the chances of us failing, Geuk-Sang replied in agreement.
Unfortunately, we cannot predict how many will join the Zhuge Family if the Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temples previous generation of martial arts masters do come to their aid, Cheon-Dok commented.
Even if they are from the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect, not everyone can reach the Supreme Realm. There would likely only be one or two people at most, Go-Seong replied.
Considering we have three Divine Demons here, we should be able to handle two Supreme-Realm masters, Geuk-Sang said with confidence. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Your transcendental martial arts should make it easy for us to stop even four of them, Invincible Divine Demon, Cheon-Dok remarked.
Now that he mentioned it, I suppose he is right. After all, it allows you to create a clone with your abilities. Go-Seong sounded envious.
I cannot kill four of the Seven Saints like you did even with my amazing martial arts. I dont know about the others, but you have no reason to be envious, Heavenly Killer Divine Demon, Geuk-Sang said, returning the compliment.
What about you? Myriad Poison Divine Demon? Dont you envy his transcendental martial arts? Go-Seong asked Cheon-Dok for support.
Not at all. The transcendental martial arts that the Demon God bestowed on the Nine Celestial Demons Sects nine great factions may have mutual compatibility, but they have no absolute superiority or inferiority. They are all incomparably better than any of murims martial arts, so I see no reason to envy the other Divine Demons. freeweb novel.com
Ehem, what does that make me look like, then? Go-Seong replied, clearly embarrassed.
Dont get me wrong. I did not mean to criticize you.
No. Your words have made me realize again how precious the transcendental martial art I possess is, Myriad Poison Divine Demon. Thank you.
If so, then I am glad I could be of help.
Going back to the topic, do we just wait until the Zhuge Familys Forbidden Soul Destroyer Array is lifted? Sky Beast Palace Patriarch Nam Hwa-Jin, who just silently listened to the three Divine Demons conversation, asked.
The Zhuge Familys Forbidden Soul Destroyer Array is indestructible. We have no choice but to wait. Cheon-Dok replied.
Will we attack as soon as it deactivates, then?
If there are no other variables, then yes. Be prepared to attack at any time. Just in case they launch a surprise attack, make sure to stay alert.
Understood, Hwa-Jin obediently answered.
While waiting for the array to deactivate, they began building a campsite at the bottom of Mount Longzhong.

Bazhong, Sichuan Province.
Gu Pae-Cheon, Hyeok Ryeon-Pae, Jong Ja-Ryang, and the Underworld Sect and Blood-Crazed Clans Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons observed the camp of the Western Sky Branch. Not one Tyrant Cult Demonic Monarch or Higher Demon was with them since Baek Mu-Gun and the two Saints with him had annihilated them all back in Shanxi Province.
The Underworld Sect and Blood-Crazed Clan still had four and three Demonic Monarchs respectively. Although they were in a better state than the Tyrant Cult, their forces had been reduced to less than half of what they started with. The Western Sky Branch likely had more Absolute-Realm masters now.
However, Supreme-Realm master Tang Ceon-Oh was the only one who could stand against a Divine Demon. Considering there were three, the other two Divine Demons could easily make up for their inferior numbers.
Even so, the three Divine Demons still chose to devise a plan. They sat together to discuss how to deal with the Western Sky Branch.
We should prioritize killing Tang Cheon-Oh. Its best we join forces to get rid of him, Ryeon-Pae, Tyrant Divine Demon Gu Pae-Cheon suggested.
Good idea. While were fighting him, please stop the Western Sky Branchs Absolute-Realm masters, Underworld Divine Demon. Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Hyeok Ryeon-Pae added.
Okay, Underworld Divine Demon Jong Ja-Ryang replied.
What do you think about unleashing your transcendental martial art right from the very beginning? Pae-Cheon suggested.
Right from the start?
Wouldnt it be better to end it quickly to prevent other variables from occurring?
The Tyrant Divine Demon is right. We were beaten more than once or twice because we kept going easy in the beginning. We should go all out and guarantee victory from the start. It will also reduce the damage the Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons will suffer, Ryeon-Pae said, supporting Pae-Cheon.
Okay. I will follow the two Divine Demons will, Ja-Ryang replied, raising no further disagreement.
When is a good time to attack? Pae-Cheon asked.
They are probably prepared for a surprise attack to some extent, so we should aim for when their concentration is at its lowest, Ja-Ryang suggested.
When would that be?
Right before dawn.
Before dawn, huh That is certainly when they are likely to let their guards down, considering they stayed vigilant all night.
We will begin our operation at that time, then.
Alright.
Having reached an agreement, the three Divine Demons finished all preparations and then spent the rest of their time resting. Just before dawn, they headed to the Western Sky Branch. The three Divine Demons entered the enemys camp with the Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons following right behind them. They did not even bother to hide their presence.
We are under attack!
The enemy is launching a surprise attack!
The martial artists standing guard shouted as soon as they detected the demonic practitioners. The three Divine Demons flattened them with a single hand gesture, then proceeded deeper into the camp. Hearing the guards warning, the others hurriedly grabbed their weapons and ran out.
The three Divine Demons barrage of attacks devastated the space in front of them, annihilating dozens of martial artists at once. At the same time, the Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons scattered to the sides and began fighting the other martial artists.
The Western Sky Branchs martial artists were at a loss. The surprise attack had prevented them from properly responding to the situation, and the three Divine Demons made quick work of everyone in their way.
As planned, the three Divine Demons tried to find and kill the Sichuan Tang Familys Tang Cheon-Oh. However, as they headed deeper inside, they saw three old men flying toward them. Much to their surprise, the old men were all exuding Supreme-Realm energy,
The Sichuan Tang Familys Tang Cheon-Oh, Hebei Peng Familys Peng Mu-Hwe, and Great Huangfu Familys Huangfu Chong were coming for them.
Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong were supposed to be at the Northern Sky Branch, but its executives predicted that the Divine Demons would try to ambush the Western Sky Branch. Hence, they went ahead of the Northern Sky Branchs forces and joined up with the Western Sky Branch.
The unexpected situation flustered the Divine Demons. However, they quickly regained their composure. Although their enemy had more Supreme-Realm masters than expected, they judged that they still had a good chance of winning since they were equal in numbers. Above all, the Thunder Gods successor, whom they feared the most, wasnt in the area. As long as Mu-Gun was not around, they had nothing to worry about.
I will deal with the Huangfu Familys old man, Pae-Cheon declared.
I will take on the old Peng bastard, then, Ryeon-Pae said.
Since the two Divine Demons had chosen their opponents first, Ja-Ryang was left with no other choice but to face Cheon-Oh.
How ridiculous. What makes you think we will follow you bastards? We will be the ones to choose who deals with whom, Mu-Hwe said, seemingly sickened. He then swung his saber at Pae-Cheon. The moment he went on the offensive, Huangfu Chong and Cheon-Oh immediately attacked Ryeon-Pae and Ja-Ryang respectively.
How absurd.
The Divine Demons snorted at the Saints defiance as they responded to the attacks with their own. Explosions engulfed three different areas, devastating their surroundings. Showing no signs of yielding or regard for the vajra qi fragments being blasted away in every direction, the six Supreme-Realm masters continued to attack each other. Amid their battle, which they refused to let tip to anyones favor, countless thunderous roars erupted.
Knowing that they would be at a disadvantage if they let this fight drag on, the three Divine Demons immediately used their transcendental martial arts as planned. The first to act was Pae-Cheon, who summoned the Tyrannical Black Demonic Dragon. Imbued with black lightning, the huge dragon immediately attacked Mu-Hwe.
Not long after, dark red flames engulfed Ryeon-Pae, giving him the silhouette of a demon with huge horns. Now covered in the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, an impenetrable protective vajra qi, Ryeon-Pae stood in front of Ja-Ryang instead of attacking the Saints.
Unlike Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae, who could immediately unleash their transcendental martial arts, Ja-Ryang needed some time to activate his since it was similar to Dok Go-Seongs. During that time, Ryeon-Pae intended to protect him by blocking the two Saints attacks alone.
