Divinity and Demon's Continent.
Yin Chuan Yi, sitting on the chair in the hall, listened to the report of his subordinates on today's situation.
After listening to the report, Yin Chuan Yi's face darkened, and he said, "It has been a whole month, why haven't we received any news from His Majesty?"
"Lord Commander, could they have perished?" one of his subordinates speculated.
"Perished?"
"Absolutely impossible! The passage of the Interchange Gate is guarded by our allied forces. How is it possible for them to be killed?" Yin Chuan Yi said decisively.
Elder Yu, leaning on his cane, walked slowly into the hall. He looked at Yin Chuan Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Yin Chuan Yi, our current situation is very precarious. We are sandwiched between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Crescent Empire. If these two countries join forces and launch an attack on us, we won't be able to resist it."
"Elder Yu, please go to the Ruined Land and report the situation here to the Alliance Association. Ask them to send troops to help us overcome our difficulties. If the Crescent Empire or the Sun-Moon Empire sends troops to attack us, I hope Elder Yu can lead the reinforcements to the nearest country and break the deadlock between these two sides!" Yin Chuan Yi said seriously.
Elder Yu nodded, and then left the hall to arrange the matters as Yin Chuan Yi had said.
After Elder Yu left, Yin Chuan Yi looked at his four adjutants and General Yan Qing of the Incubus Clan beside him.
"Keep a close eye on the situation in the Crescent Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire. Report immediately if you notice any suspicious behavior."
The four adjutants and General Yan Qing of the Incubus Clan answered in unison, "Yes, sir."
...
In the territory of the Crescent Empire, Tadefin wanted to eradicate the White Stork Empire's Ruined Land barbarians, but he was afraid that demons would stab him in the back and capture the angels as hostages to force us to release the Demon Emperor.
After all, the Demon Emperor has already awakened and most of the Black Armored Demons should have been summoned. In addition, the seventh Demon General, Qizhou, under the Demon Emperor's command, can summon an army of skeletons, whose combat power is extremely terrifying.
The best strategy is to stay put and wait for the Sun-Moon Empire to make the first move, and then they can launch their attack on the White Stork Empire. This way, they don't have to worry about the demons' sneak attacks.
"When will our Your Majesty be able to awaken? Then we will have the ability to march into the Ruined Land." Tadefin sat on the city wall, looked towards the east, and muttered to himself.
"Just wait a little longer, I believe Sera will be able to find His Majesty," said the Mist Angel Maith with a smile.
Tadefin nodded without saying much.
...
At night, the moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly like water.
Elder Yu led four witch tribe soldiers to quietly move through the darkness, heading towards the direction of the Interchange Gate.
The five witch tribe members cast acceleration and concealment magic, quickly passing through the checkpoints set up by the Crescent Empire, and arrived at the area where the Interchange Gate was located.
A golden-haired girl ambushed herself next to a tree trunk, looking up at the witch tribe soldiers who were approaching from a distance, a slight smile crept upon her lips, "Finally caught some prey."
"Whoosh~"
A faint sound came as an arrow made of condensed wind elements shot out from the sleeve of the blonde girl, heading straight towards the witch tribe soldier in front of her.
"Splat"
"Ah..."
A cry of misery rang out as the wind element arrow pierced through the chest of the witch tribe soldier, blood gushing out from the wound, leaving him lifeless in a pool of blood.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Three more faint sounds followed as sharp blades flew through the air, instantly penetrating the hearts of three witch tribe soldiers.
The blonde girl was Singri. She coldly surveyed her surroundings, her eyes icy and devoid of any emotion.
The elder of the witch coven looked at his four fallen subordinates and couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship with Gai Rao?"
Singri didn't waste any words. With a flick of her right arm, an extremely sharp dagger appeared in her hand.
In the next moment, Singri charged towards the elder with the dagger in hand.
The elder raised his staff, and a gray light emerged from his body, forming a barrier.
Singri forcefully stabbed the barrier with all her strength.
But the result was that she was bounced back, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, her strength kept her steady.
"So, you are Gai Rao's disciple? I'm surprised that guy, who only cares about treasure, would take on an apprentice. Truly astonishing," the elder chuckled.
"I don't know her!" Singri said indifferently.
"It seems that your relationship with Gai Rao is quite poor!" the elder looked at Singri with a face of regret.
Singri ignored him. Suddenly, whirlwinds swept the area, and wind blades circled in the air. Singri raised her arm, her eyes turning blue, while strange currents swirled around her.
"Clouds rise, wind darts in a twisted sky!"
As Singri's voice fell, the wind blades gradually grew even more sinister, changing from their original blue color to blood red.
"This is..."
Seeing the transformed wind blades, the elder raised his eyebrows. He had never seen such a sinister wind-based magic.
However, he remained composed, standing still with his staff in hand, silently watching.
After a moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on Singri's forehead. The wind blades spun faster and faster, reaching their limit.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The blood-red wind blades collided with the defense barrier surrounding the elder, creating a continuous thunderous sound.
The elder furrowed his brows as he looked. He saw cracks appearing in the defense barrier, growing larger and larger with each passing moment, as if it was on the verge of shattering.
The elder narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Singri to possess such powerful wind magic.
He tightly gripped his staff and a strong surge of magical power emanated from the tip of the staff, pouring into the defense barrier, causing the cracks to quickly heal.
Seeing this witch tribe elder easily blocking her attack, Singri couldn't help feeling surprised, but soon a wicked smile appeared on her lips.
She forcefully swung her right hand, and the wind blades fiercely struck the ground.
Dust flew into the air, forming a mesmerizing vortex. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Singri made her escape.
She knew she was no match for the elder of the witch tribe, so she didn't hesitate to turn around and run.
The elder waved his staff and a white beam of light shot out, heading straight for the center of the storm.
"Rumble!"
A muffled thunderclap suddenly sounded, and the storm instantly disappeared.
"Phew~"
The elder breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing exhaustion.
"I'm getting old, can't keep up with my stamina!" The elder shook his head and walked towards the direction of the Gate of Interaction.
His stamina didn't allow him to chase after Singri. If he were younger, he would never let Singri get away. After all, Singri was the famous treasure hunter Jia Rao's apprentice, and if he could catch her, he could definitely make Jia Rao pay a hefty ransom.
...
After entering the Gate of Interaction, the elder was immediately surrounded by countless weapons aimed at his head. If he made any slight movement, he would become the target of millions of weapons.
The elder looked around, frowned, and felt angry in his heart. "Don't you recognize your own kind?"
At this moment, a captain of the witch tribe soldiers stepped forward and apologized.
"Recently, a silver-haired girl led the vampire army into the Gate of Interaction, and they slaughtered all the allied forces in the passage, which is why the situation is like this. Please forgive us, Elder." The captain lowered his head, apologizing.
"Hmph!" The elder glared at the witch tribe soldier in displeasure, then asked, "What about those vampires?"
"They should have retreated," the witch tribe soldier replied.
The elder was speechless. He no longer intended to ask any other questions and directly activated his flying magic, flying towards the direction of the Alliance Military Association.
