Chapter 1219 – Hold It
The Bull Horn King replied angrily, not stopping his actions, “Get lost, can’t you see that this King is enjoying a good time? No matter how severe the matter is, it will have to wait until this King is finished!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Us lowly ones are being insensitive. Let us leave. Ji Mo Ya is undoubtedly still chasing us, we will take another path and not use this path holding the esteemed Kings.”
The pangolins took one last glance at that enchanting scene before turning to leave the area.
At that moment, Madam Fox Charm suddenly pushed the Bull Horn King when she was the height of pleasure, “Hold it. Who did you say is chasing you? Ji Mo Ya?”
“Yes…”
“Explain the entire situation in detail for this Madam and be quick…”

Blackrock City.
The place is in disorder, corpses of demons and humans scattered everywhere.
The survivors were currently cleaning up the area, moving bodies to the corner of the city walls to be cremated, causing smelly dark smoke to fill up the sky.
People with Water-Attribute Spirit Treasures were being tasked to clean the bloodstains off the area.
Shangguan Duo Zhi and the other King Spirit Masters were currently patching up and enhancing the barrier formation of the city.
A spirit pulse appeared as a Spirit Crane arrived.
It was from Ji Mo Ya!
“Great! The young ones have discovered the tracks of Crazy Sage and are now looking for Lord Sage!”
“This is indeed excellent news. A pity we needed to guard Blackrock City, else this old man would have gone over.”
“Spread this piece of good news to the other cities, it can boost the mood of the Lord Sages and our fellow Lord Kings… send a spirit crane to Holy Court as well.”
“Okay!”
Several flashes of energy appeared and flew off.

Plant Sage’s task was to guard the Saint Stones. Each time someone was borrowing the power of the Saint Stones, he would need to defend this place to prevent any mishaps.
Whenever the power of the Saint Stones was used, it would cause the spirit energy of heaven and earth to become volatile. Whenever that happens, the power of a Half-Sage is required to stifle it.
This belongs to a form of logistic work. Plant Sage had diligently guarded the Saint Stones of the Holy Court for a millennium and has developed an intricate familiarity with each Saint Stone.
The Saint Stones’ mysterious energy came from primordial times and had always been the foundation of humanity.
Suddenly, a Saint Stone released a crunched sound after a round of energy bestowment; a crack had just appeared on it.
Plant Sage expression turned stern.
The Saint Stones were a type of consumable and were rarely used. Only when humanity is in peril will the stones be activated.
Now, this cracked Saint Stone that boosts Mental Power would likely only have a handful of uses left.
Moreover, the war had only just started.
Will humanity be able to survive this hardship?
Sage Cai entered the area at that moment.
“I have a piece of good news for you. Brat Ya and the other young ones have discovered traces of Old Crazy.”
A sharp glint flashed through Plant Sage, “Good. What is the bad news?”
“Southplain City has been lost. Two King Spirit Masters has fallen, Tuoba Clan’s Tuoba Chang Sheng, Ji Mo Clan’s Ji Mo Shen Ming…”
Southplain City was also another city of strategic importance.
They had just failed to defend the city and even lost two King Spirit Masters!
This was a severe setback!
Plant Sage sighed, this war suddenly happened and came at humanity with unstoppable momentum. The rate that the flames of war are travelling at was unimaginable.
“Any news of the Witch?”
“We lost track of the Witch after she escaped into the Demon Lands. We got careless. We thought we would be able to grasp her whereabouts and deliberately let her escape to lure out the Demon Eye… Sigh. I wonder if this war is related to that Witch? This old man had reminded the Demon Emperors multiple times that the Witch might be the one that was causing trouble, yet the Demons did not want to believe. They do not believe that Devils can exist on the Spirit Treasure Continent.”
