Chapter 1885 The Mastermind Appears, the Demons Annd the Demon G.o.d Sect
A group of people stood on top of a mountain peak outside a huge barrier, looking at the remnants of the external army. The originally mighty army of over a thousand soldiers was now left with over three hundred soldiers hiding in the valley, struggling to survive. Outside the huge barrier were many figures lying in ambush as if they were waiting for something.
Among this group of people, a middle-aged man wearing a blood-red robe with a villainous expression looked at the remaining soldiers in the valley with a deep gaze akin to an eagle"s.
"Chu Yunfan has returned?" The middle-aged man in a blood-red robe listened to his subordinate"s report and frowned slightly. "But he didn"t come out?"
"No, he didn"t, sir," a subordinate answered in a low voice.
"Keep a close eye on the external army garrison. Send someone to keep a close eye on the surrounding garrisons as well. If Chu Yunfan doesn"t come out, or if he contacts other armies, then immediately destroy the rest of these people in the valley."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate left to carry out the man"s instructions.
The middle-aged man in a blood-red robe had an extremely cold expression, like ice in an ice cave. In his eyes, the remaining soldiers in the valley were a bunch of pigs. If it wasn"t for the fact that they were trying to lure Chu Yunfan out, they would have been killed long ago.
Inside the valley, the remnants of the external army surrounded Chu Hongcai and You Chuyun. Everyone looked dispirited. For more than a year, the external army had swept through the areas near Baotai and wiped out many demons and monsters. They were very happy about that.
There was no power that could resist their takeover. Even if there was, it would instantly collapse under Chu Yunfan"s personal attack. In the past year, the external army had been in high spirits.
Who would have thought that after being ambushed, the entire army would immediately be defeated? If the other party was willing, they could even wipe them out in minutes.
After being trapped for so long, even if they were stupid, they could tell that the other party had other intentions. In other words, they were not here for them.
They were just bait!
They were not the target of the attack because there was no need for them to do so. They remembered that the middle-aged man on the mountain peak had beaten them up so badly that they could not fight back. Even though the external army had exerted its army spirit, it was useless against such a top-notch expert.
The man had crushed their entire army single-handedly.
It was not difficult for them to guess that these people were targeting the pillar of their army and the only person with value to be targeted—the great general of the external army, Chu Yunfan.
Chu Hongcai was especially aware of this. Although he was only swept by the aftershock, he was still seriously injured. He struggled to suppress the injuries on his body. He could not expel the remaining divine power in his body even if he continued to heal. The people outside didn"t care about his healing. In other words, they just cared that he lived, even if it was barely.
Chu Hongcai was very clear about this, but his gaze was determined. Even if he was at the end of his rope, he did not have the slightest thought of giving up. This was what Chu Yunfan had always taught him. As a strong person, he should have such a strong heart. Otherwise, his future was bound to be limited.
However, he was also aware that he had become Chu Yunfan"s weakness. He blamed himself. Only he knew that under his determined gaze, he had already made a decision. If anything went wrong, he would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of these people. Otherwise, he would only become a tool to deal with Chu Yunfan.
Chu Hongcai"s gaze swept across the half-hidden figures throughout the valley. Those figures were not all humanoid. There were some that were like giant beasts, revealing the ident.i.ties of these people.
Suddenly, the remaining soldiers of the external army heard a commotion from afar. They looked over and saw a figure walking toward them. It was their pillar of support and the great general of the external army, Chu Yunfan.
Instantly, everyone"s spirits were shaken!
"It"s the Great General!"
"The Great General is here. We"re saved!"
"There"s hope for us!"
At this moment, everyone was excited. They finally saw the hope of survival.
"Watch out, everyone! Be on full alert!" You Chuyun shouted, and everyone immediately came back to their senses.
Chu Yunfan"s appearance might not be a good thing for them. If the other party thought that since Chu Yunfan had appeared and there was no value for them to continue existing, it was possible for the enemy to annihilate them now.
Fortunately, the most tragic situation did not happen. The other party seemed to be only interested in Chu Yunfan and did not think of destroying them. At the same time, they understood that the other party had ignored them and did not care about their lives. In any case, any one of them could destroy them all. There was no need to care about the opinions of ants.
"Chu Yunfan"s finally here. Interesting. Let"s end this quickly. After all, this isn"t the Demon Region," the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe ordered.
The arrogant and unruly figures that had been lying dormant revealed themselves. In the blink of an eye, the entire world changed color, and countless ferocious auras appeared in the sky. They formed a large array in the air with lightning speed, surrounding Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan looked at the dozens of figures that suddenly surrounded him. Their combined demonic aura was monstrous, and the fierce aura was enough to scare any timid person to death.
Among these people, there were some who looked like humans, and there were also some peerless monsters. Their bodies were as huge as small mountains, and they were terrifying existences.
"Demons. You"re part of the Demon G.o.d Sect."
Chu Yunfan finally understood who had set up this ambush. He originally thought that it was Li Qianyuan. He didn"t know whether Li Qianyuan had colluded with the Demon G.o.d Sect and the demons.
The demons and the Demon G.o.d Sect.
As a colossus that could be compared to Grand Xia, the strength of the demons was naturally unquestionable. There were countless experts among the demons.
As for the Demon G.o.d Sect, it was a faction that the demons had specially nurtured to disrupt Grand Xia. This sect had once caused a bloodbath in Grand Xia, and it could be said that there were as many experts as the clouds and their influence spread throughout the Central Plains.
The Demon G.o.d Sect was extremely troublesome to deal with.
