#3229 - A demon as great as an immortal

Wang Hao was cautious, suspecting that there were forces deep within the Demon City that they couldn't contend with.

The three immortals weren't telling them to solve the Demon City independently; they were unwilling to expend their power, but observing the situation was something they could do.

With their superior eyesight and extraordinary knowledge, the immortals could observe things that cultivators like Wang Hao couldn't!

After observing outside the Demon City for a long time, they had a definite answer and decided to test it out.

The immortals didn't treat cultivators as people, but they also knew that before the Dao fruit matured, it wasn't advisable for the cultivators of the Qianyang Realm to suffer too many losses.

The Demon City was likely created by their old rivals, and it was necessary to first investigate the risks before letting the cultivators of the Qianyang Realm go in to clean it up.

On this day, Wang Hao and many other experts from the Qianyang Realm followed the three immortals to the vicinity of the Demon City.

Great Immortal Hailing lifted his hand, and a round of blue sun rose, appearing above the Demon City.

The blue sun grew bigger and bigger, becoming more and more dazzling, and the terrifying power within it caused the surrounding demonic energy to tremble.

The blue sun rose to the center of the Demon City, paused suddenly, and then, like a falling star, smashed down fiercely.

The dense demonic energy dispersed, and blue light bloomed in the dim Demon City.

Qiu Yunkai and the others looked delighted, and were about to offer some flattery when a movement came from the depths of the Demon City.

A huge black demonic hand suddenly appeared, grabbed the blue sun, and easily extinguished it!

"Hmph, as expected," Great Immortal Hailing wasn't angry, and snorted coldly, as if he already understood the details of the Demon City.

"Senior, is there a great demon in the Demon City comparable to you?" Wang Hao asked.

Great Immortal Hailing nodded and shook his head, "There is a great demon, but its main body hasn't arrived yet.

What's in the Demon City is just a projection. You clear the periphery first to prevent the Demon City from continuing to expand, which will prevent it from summoning its true form!"

With one increasing and the other decreasing, the gap in strength is widened.

"Hmph, if it weren't for your poor supervision, how could you have allowed the demons to infiltrate?" Great Immortal Hailing said unceremoniously.

It is very difficult for demons to infiltrate a realm. If the Qianyang Realm had discovered it earlier and blocked it in time, the Demon City would never have appeared.

In fact, the three great immortals had already exchanged a few words in secret. They all felt that the Demon City was a bit tricky.

Even if they took action, they couldn't destroy it in a short time.

Obviously, they didn't want to expend too much of their own power. Power was the foundation for them to compete for the Dao fruit, and no one wanted to waste it on the Demon City.

Moreover, if they fought hard, the demons would inevitably retaliate strongly, and the casualties would be difficult to estimate.

They immortals cherish their lives, but don't cultivators cherish their lives? At that time, the situation might get out of control.

A strong attack won't work, so we can only start by weakening the Demon City.

The periphery of the Demon City is full of low-level demons, whose strength is only at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul level, which are not difficult to deal with.

The demonic energy on the periphery is also relatively thin, which has less impact on cultivators.

As long as a large number of low-level cultivators are sent to clean up the periphery, like ants moving house, slowly weakening the Demon City, destroying its foundation, and then high-level cultivators and these immortals take action, they can deal with the Demon City at a smaller cost.

"You can discuss this matter yourself. This seat only wants results. From today onwards, the Demon City must not expand by an inch. Within twenty years, the scale of the Demon City must be reduced by half, and then reduced by half in fifty years, and strive to solve it within a hundred years!"

Immortal Yunshang ordered in a commanding tone, brooking no refusal.

He didn't give a deadline randomly, but had his own considerations. According to estimates, the other immortals would wake up within a hundred years. At that time, many immortals would take action together to solve the Demon City, and the grasp would be greater and fairer. Otherwise, wouldn't the three of them be consuming their power for nothing, and the sleeping immortals would be reaping the benefits?

"A hundred years?" Wang Hao frowned, and said worriedly: "This junior will do my best to prevent the Demon City from expanding, but if there is an irresistible force, how should this junior respond?"

Wang Hao is nominally the commander of the Demon Extermination Allied Forces, and he is responsible for any problems.

"You don't need to worry, this seat will pay attention to the changes in the Demon City and remind you of the dangers within it."

Immortal Yunshang said coldly.

The gradual clearing method is inefficient and will inevitably lead to a large number of low-level cultivator casualties, but the immortals obviously don't care, as long as the high-level power of the Qianyang Realm is not lost too much.

Wang Hao and other high-level cultivators in the Qianyang Realm also understood this. Although they didn't want their descendants to die, they had no other better way. The immortals' orders could not be disobeyed, so they could only agree with their noses.

After all, if they didn't let the low-level cultivators take action, they would have to take action.

Obviously, the lives of high-level cultivators are more precious. Even cultivators who value the interests of the race very much did not raise objections.

Since everyone agreed, the plan was immediately implemented.

The current scale of the organized demon extermination army is not large, mainly composed of cultivators above the Transformation God stage.

In such a short period of time, it is also difficult to transport a large number of low-level cultivators over.

So they ordered the Void Refinement cultivators to lead the Transformation God stage cultivators to take action first to prevent the Demon City from further expanding.

At the same time, they organized fleets to mobilize a massive number of low-level cultivators to come.

Speaking of low-level cultivators, they must at least have the cultivation base of the Golden Core stage. Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators will instantly become demonized when entering the Demon Domain, and will be of no use.

Since low-level cultivators are to be used, they naturally cannot only let these large clans contribute. Each clan must conscript the cultivators of the affiliated forces.

Everyone is not a fool. Low-level cultivators are used as cannon fodder. It would be good if two or three out of ten could survive. It is best to use outsiders. It's better for a fellow Taoist to die than for me to die.

Wang Hao is the nominal commander, but can only mobilize the power of the Tianxuan Alliance. Wang Hao doesn't care, so as not to worry about too many things.

After some wrangling, the major clans distributed the number of low-level cultivators that needed to be conscripted and the areas that needed to be cleaned up, and then dispersed to devote themselves to busy work.

Wang Hao summoned the high-level members of the Tianxuan Alliance and held a meeting.

The tasks were subdivided to various races, with the Human Race being responsible for more than 40%, of which the Wang family was responsible for 20%.

There is no way, with great power comes great responsibility. The Wang family is now a veritable behemoth and must shoulder its responsibilities. If the Wang family shirks its responsibilities, it will be difficult to order the people below.

Danger is danger, but this is also a rare opportunity for training. Those surviving clansmen will inevitably be greatly improved.

After that, the Wang family also held a meeting internally. This meeting was more cumbersome, and Wang Hao arranged many things.

The cannon fodder outside is cannon fodder, but the Wang family's cultivators must not be just pure cannon fodder.

As the ancestor, how could Wang Hao let his descendants die in vain?

Even if they die, they must die with value.

In order to protect the clansmen to the greatest extent, Wang Hao ordered the family to mobilize various Yang attribute magic weapons and talismans with exorcising effects, and at the same time required the family's high-level cultivators to protect the low-level cultivators as much as possible while ensuring their own safety, and try to minimize losses.
