I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Black Demon Evil God Shield! (1/3)

The army from the Nefarious Demon Region receded like the tide.

They retreated back into the campsite beyond the high mountains.

After all, morale had fallen to an extreme low, whether it was the No-fly Array preventing the Evil Spear Army pirates from fighting in the sky, the might of the enemy’s artillery, or the appearance of a mysterious elder who blocked the purgatory mystical imperial guards.

Now, with the Divine God Realm and above powerhouses unable to move, even the Demon God Evil Lord had to return and plan for the long term.

Watching this scene, everyone heaved a slight sigh of relief, but right after exhaling, they immediately erupted into a thunderous cheer!

The sounds of celebration echoed through heaven and earth!

The Dark Lord also ordered a Five Star Executor, saying with a smile, “Spread the news of this first battle victory throughout the entire Mortal Realm.”

The Executor nodded and then vanished on the spot.

When everyone was in a state of despair, they won the first battle. Could there be anything more unexpectedly delightful than this reversal of expectations?

Returning to the city wall, the Immortal Emperor immediately said, “Check the losses, adjust your state, and don’t slack off! The enemy’s second attack will not be long in coming!”

At this moment, Grandpa Medicine had returned to the city wall, and Mu Wan’er eagerly approached and asked with joy, “Grandpa Medicine, how are you so powerful?”

Grandpa Medicine chuckled and said, “Old man has never really disclosed his strength, and you, girl, never asked, did you?”

Mu Wan’er replied with a wry smile, “Grandpa Medicine looked just like an ordinary Mortal at that time, how could I have thought of that.”

Then, three Immortal Ancestors also descended and curiously looked at Grandpa Medicine. The one leading them asked, “Fellow Daoist, from where do you hail, and why have we never heard of you?”

Moreover, what Grandpa Medicine said back then, he’s not from this dimension… he’s but a person without roots…

Not from this dimension? Could it mean he’s not from this world?

About being a person without roots, perhaps it hints that he doesn’t represent any particular force?

“Could it be, Fellow Daoist, that you come from the heaven above, the Immortal Realm?”

Grandpa Medicine smiled and looked at the Immortal Ancestor, “Do you think beings from the Immortal Realm would do such a thing?”

“Indeed.” All three Immortal Ancestors nodded, “Since Fellow Daoist does not wish to disclose, we will no longer inquire.”

“That would be best.”

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor also came forward to offer his thanks.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Grandpa Medicine waved his hand and said, “Enough, stop fussing over this old man. Take care of the rest yourselves; I won’t interfere with other matters.”

The Immortal Emperor nodded solemnly, “Elder, you’ve already helped plenty.”

Then, he went to discuss with the master and others about how to deal with the next wave.

Although they won the first battle, it was solely due to the artillery and the emergence of Grandpa Medicine.

This didn’t mean they now had the strength to counter the enemy.

With Divine God Realm beings on neither side participating, the gap between the two was still exceedingly large.

At this time.

Hong Ying noticed Mu Fusheng’s expression and sent him a message, “Junior Brother Mu, are you doubting this senior?”

Mu Fusheng shook his head, still lost in thought as he observed Grandpa Medicine, replying through telepathy, “It’s not really doubt, but what he said lingers in my mind.”

“I merely stopped you. Had it been someone else… what about that saying?” Hong Ying quickly grasped his implication.

Mu Fusheng nodded, “Exactly, his words suggested as if he knew a mighty being was observing this battlefield from the shadows. And as far as we know, the only one in the shadows is our master, and he is the only one who has the power to slay all from the Nefarious Demon Region.”

“Does this mean that the senior may know of master’s existence?” Hong Ying’s expression slightly changed.

Mu Fusheng’s gaze also turned a shade more solemn, “Most likely he knows, or else there might be other strong beings secretly present. However, that seems improbable as it doesn’t meet two criteria.”

“The first is that there’s no reason for them to help a Mortal Realm with a severed legacy, where there’s no benefit to follow.”

Every offer of help, to a greater or lesser extent, involves some kind of benefit.

Who would help without reason? Especially in the face of such a significant affair.

“The second point… as master’s strength, if that person exists, he would certainly be able to sense it.”

When neither of these points applies, the only explanation is that Grandpa Medicine knew of Lu Changsheng’s existence.

Hearing this, Hong Ying nodded in agreement, “For now, let’s just see how things go. Master hasn’t made any moves either, perhaps he too is observing the situation. But given the current state of affairs, it seems the other party doesn’t harbor any ill intentions.”

However, unnoticed by everyone, Grandpa Medicine glanced at Mu Fusheng and Hong Ying with a smile, said nothing, and then declared, “Alright, this old man will just find a place to rest. I won’t meddle in the upcoming affairs anymore.”

Having said that, Grandpa Medicine had already vanished from where he stood.

…

Indeed, the second assault from the Nefarious Demon Region had come on the third day.

Mighty throngs of the Nefarious Demon Region’s forces surged over mountains and stepped onto plains!

And this time, overhead, there loomed a vast black shield capable of obscuring the entire demon army!

The Immortal Emperor frowned slightly at the sight, “As expected, after those from the Divine Emperor Realm are unable to intervene, they were bound to take measures.”

Still, an attempt had to be made.

Immediately, the Immortal Emperor ordered the cannons to be fired!

Fireballs carpeted the sky, hurtling toward the Nefarious Demon Region’s army!

Yet, upon seeing this spectacle, the four elders of the demon army all revealed scornful smiles.

Fireballs plummeted from the sky like a violent downpour, like stars falling from the heavens!

The sight was terrifying!

But when all these fireballs struck the black shield…

Despite the colossal booms they produced, igniting a tremendous blaze upon the shield…

After the flames had dissipated, the black shield merely trembled a few times; not even a single crack appeared!

“This is akin to the presence of an Ancestral Artifact, the Black Demon Evil God Shield,” an ancestor of the immortals murmured with a slight frown.

A presence matching that of an Ancestral Artifact could naturally withstand the bombardment of the Divine Emperor Realm peak-level cannons.

“Still think the previous method will work? You underestimate our Nefarious Demon Region too much!” The First Elder roared with a grand gesture, “Flatten them! Wash away the disgrace of the first battle!”

The Nefarious Demon Region’s army let out a thunderous collective roar!

They advanced at an even greater speed across the vast plains!

Rapidly closing in on the city walls!

The Immortal Emperor directed with a grave countenance, “Everyone, prepare to take action now, pay attention to the coordination between their demon shield troops and Evil Spear Army, and most importantly, watch out for the mystical imperial guards!”

Including Divine Master Hao Tian, seven great Divine Master powerhouses also started commanding their sect members to prepare for battle!

Ye Qiubai took out the Aged Gold Divine Sword, saying sternly, “The time has come to test the results of our cultivation, no matter what, we cannot disgrace master, or else we’re in for it when we return.”

Mu Ziqing asked, “Why would it be terrible?”

Ye Qiubai’s face twitched, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

“At that time, try the food cooked by Junior Brother Mu,” was all he said.

Mu Fusheng’s body shuddered as he turned to Ye Qiubai and remarked, “Elder brother, are you trying to take sister-in-law’s life?”

Blackie: “…”
