Chapter 1388: The Luxurious Lineup
“I’m always ready to run for my life. But I feel we can’t just leave like this.”
A hint of curiosity flickered across the Blood Empress Demon King’s face.
Before she could ask, Su Jingzhen continued, “We must wait for the experts from the Boundless Demon Sect and other sects to arrive. We need to confront them head-on, declare our sovereignty, and then escape. This way, when we return, we’ll have a clearer goal and greater legitimacy!”
“Alright! Even if we fight, I can still escape. They won’t stop me!”
The Blood Empress Demon King had no objections to his plan.
“Then it seems we have nothing to do for now.”
Su Jingzhen gazed at the decisive, capable, and still alluring Blood Empress Demon King, a flame igniting in his heart once more.
As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms.
Her face flushed again.
The spacious hall filled with the colors of spring.
A primal battle unfolded.
While the two indulged, the tension in Blood Demon City reached its peak.
Neutral parties had retreated to the port’s vicinity.
Inter-realm warships arrived from other realms as usual.
Newcomers to the Boundless Demon Realm, hearing the news, chose to linger.
“Blood Demon City is undergoing a drastic upheaval!”
“If the Blood Empress Demon King and her group succeed, the Starry Sky Demons’ entire landscape will shift. Once the Boundless Demon Realm pulls this off, the other seven major realms will follow.”
“Then these inter-realm passageways will become private assets. Who knows what the Starry Sky Demons will turn into? Maybe a new wave of chaos.”
“Haha, you’re all dreaming. The top forces in the eight major realms won’t tolerate this precedent. I’m eager to see what lineup the Boundless Demon Sect and others bring to crush rebels like the Blood Empress Demon King. If she and her group are caught, death would be a mercy—they’ll face endless torment as a warning.”
“…”
As the city buzzed, the Boundless Demon Realm’s major forces mobilized.
At the Boundless Demon Sect’s heart, experts assembled into an army.
“Lord No Thought, are you leading this yourself? Isn’t that overkill for the Blood Empress Demon King?”
Seeing the white-haired, armored old man at the forefront, many high-ranking sect members were taken aback.
No Thought Demon King, eighth among the Ten Great Demon Kings of the Starry Sky Demons, was the sect’s undisputed second strongest.
His personal involvement seemed excessive.
No Thought Demon King’s expression was cold and resolute.
“This may seem absurd, almost laughable, but its implications are grave. We must crush the Blood Empress Demon King with overwhelming force. Intelligence suggests at least two Demon Kings are rebelling in Blood Demon City. If I don’t act, I can’t rest easy.”
His words dripped with killing intent.
The sect’s leaders grew solemn.
Chen Tianji, the nominal head—a half-step Demon King—addressed him respectfully, “Uncle No Thought, I’ve notified all Demon King- and Demon General-level forces in the Boundless Demon Realm. They’ll form armies and join us to ensure no rebel in Blood Demon City survives.”
“Good. The army marches in one hour!”
No Thought Demon King nodded gravely.
This matter didn’t warrant the Boundless True Demon’s attention.
As the Boundless Demon Realm waited, forces gathered at the sect via super teleportation arrays.
In realm-wide issues, all looked to the Boundless Demon Sect for leadership.
Meanwhile, in Blood Demon City, Su Jingzhen and the Blood Empress Demon King had entered a lull.
Golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
He perked up, hoping it signaled an emotional bond with the Blood Empress Demon King—a potential windfall.
But it was just the daily fixed points.
He frowned, puzzled.
Had another day passed already?
So much had happened that time had slipped by unnoticed.
[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 48...]
[Remaining Available Points: 58,774]
After collecting the points, Su Jingzhen stretched and dressed.
The Blood Empress Demon King raised an eyebrow.
“What’s wrong, little brother? Worn out? I was just warming up. The real battle’s about to start.”
Her eyes sparkled with allure, her mature charm at its peak.
Su Jingzhen’s heart raced.
He was tempted for another three hundred rounds.
But he shook his head gently. “Sister Blood Empress, perhaps we should focus on the main task. A new day’s here—the Boundless Demon Realm’s forces are likely on their way. We’ve got plenty of time ahead.”
Her expression grew serious.
She dressed quickly.
As they prepared to leave the hall, her face shifted.
With her strength, she’d sensed something.
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness spread, detecting chaos in Blood Demon City.
He felt waves of fear.
Many demonic cultivators and scoundrels were fleeing in panic, seeking hiding spots.
“They’ve arrived.”
His expression hardened.
He’d contacted Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and Old Tree in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
If needed, they’d intervene instantly!
The Blood Empress Demon King and Su Jingzhen stepped out of the hall onto the desolate square, where anxious Demon Generals and Demon Sages who’d sworn loyalty awaited.
Seeing them, they looked to their saviors.
“Demon King, the Boundless Demon Sect has rallied numerous Demon King-level forces from the Boundless Demon Realm and is heading here!”
“Blood Demon City’s sealed by a powerful barrier. Even ,I, a seventh-rank Demon General tried with all my might but couldn’t break it. They’re trapping us like turtles in a jar!”
“Please, Demon King, lead us out so we can regroup and rise again!”
“…”
Thousands knelt before the hall, their faces a mix of fear and hope as they gazed at the Blood Empress Demon King.
She and Su Jingzhen exchanged mysterious smiles.
“Why panic? Since I dared lead you to seize Blood Demon City, I’m confident to face anything!”
Her fighting spirit blazed.
“Stay calm and follow me to meet the enemy! Let the Boundless Demon Sect know Blood Demon City is ours! We no longer bow to them! Today, we kill all who come! Charge with me!”
Her fervor surged, igniting a spark of bloodlust in the crowd.
These cultivators, steeped in slaughter, were cornered.
Their fighting spirit roared to life.
Su Jingzhen smirked coldly.
He knew the Boundless Demon Sect’s lineup would be far grander than expected.
Their ragtag group was no match for the sect’s disciplined army.
But he stood beside the Blood Empress Demon King as she stepped forward, leading him and thousands of Blood Demon City’s madmen into the sky.
When Su Jingzhen saw the sect’s forces, his heart quaked.
Over a hundred army formations.
The first dozen were led by Demon King-level experts.
They’d estimated three or four Demon Kings—reality shattered that.
The armored figure at the forefront exuded immense pressure.
It rivaled Fire Pupil Demon King at full power, perhaps stronger.
From the aura, Su Jingzhen guessed his identity.
No Thought Demon King!
The Boundless Demon Realm boasted two of the Ten Great Demon Kings.
The Boundless True Demon wouldn’t bother with this.
The other was No Thought Demon King, the sect’s second strongest.
The Blood Empress Demon King had admitted she couldn’t match him.
With over a dozen other Demon Kings, even with Mo Xuantian and the others, they’d be outmatched.
The thousands who’d followed now trembled.
Escape was impossible. They clung close to the Blood Empress Demon King, hoping she’d take them if she fled.
No Thought Demon King stepped forward from the sect’s army.
Gazing at the still-calm Blood Empress Demon King, he said:
“Blood Empress Demon King, will you come with me for punishment, or shall I execute you here?”
