Over The World, Beyond Heaven

"Stop it! If you don't stop causing trouble, don't blame me for being cruel!"

A fierce and intimidating voice rang out along with a suppressing force from a demon monster beast standing at the very back under the tree, ordering the two demon monster beasts to stop fighting.

"That bastard started it first. He insulted the dignity of the seven of us. How can we accept it, sir, Master!?" The eldest brother of the Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions immediately responded to the voice's owner, who had stopped them. However, its tone and manner towards that demon monster beast were humble and somewhat fearful.

"It's him who wants to have a problem with me, Master. I wouldn't have said that if it weren't for him acting arrogant," a snake demon monster beast did not give in either. It tried to make excuses for itself.

Enough!

"I don't care who started it first. But if this attack on Demon's Hill City fails, you all know what will happen, right? The Emperor won't let us off the hook. So, you guys must do your best. Order the second army to start moving! We'll wait until the enemies are exhausted and suffer heavy losses, then our army will move!"

Yes, sir, Master!!!

The demon monster beasts who were quarreling were actually at the sixth and fifth levels of the Great Deity Stage. They were the commander and general of the demon monster beast hordes. Even so, they still had to bow to this demon monster beast, as it was already at the late eighth level of the Great Deity Stage, and would probably break through to the ninth level soon.

Therefore, these generals and commanders had to obey it. However, whom they feared the most wasn't this demon monster beast but the emperor whom it had mentioned. They did not know exactly what level their emperor was at, but from the rumors they had heard, it was already at the Supreme Deity Stage.

"What about the Shadow Group? How far has their operation progressed?"

"The Shadow Group is now in its position. They can make a move at any time, just by receiving an order!" The gorilla demon monster beast answered the question, as it was responsible for managing the initial strategy.

Umm...

"Very good! Wait for the time to come first. This moment is not yet the time for the Shadow Group. As soon as the sunlight disappears, it's their time!"

The demon monster beast commander grinned in satisfaction when he thought of the bloody night that would soon take place due to the actions of the Shadow Group. It had ordered them to take up positions in advance and wait for the sun to set below the horizon. The Shadow Group was a force of various species of beasts that operated in the dark, using their movement in the shadows to kill their enemies.

Yes, sir, Commander!

Back to Demon's Hill City...

Cleng! Cleng! Cleng!

Yaaaaaak!!!

Bang!!!

Groaaaan!!!

"Kill them, quickly! Don't let those damn demon monster beasts get a chance to fight. If you can gang up on them, go ahead!"

"I know! And you should take action too, not just talk!"

Yaaaaaa!!! Yaaaaaak!!!

The battle was fierce as the forces of the four major clans and the leading medium clans that had previously withdrawn rejoined. They were able to kill and deal with the demon monster beast vanguard without much difficulty. It was completely different from when they had to deal with them on their own battlefield. At that time, they felt bad that the demon monster beasts' abilities and intelligence had suddenly increased for no reason.

But this time, many demon monster beasts were killed, which greatly boosted the morale of the warriors. However, they did not know that at the same time, the forces of the Zi Clan and Ma clan were gradually retreating. And soon, on the battlefield, there would be no more forces of the two clans left.

A few minutes later…

"Little Comrade, our people have all withdrawn. What do you want us to do next?" When the last warriors of the two clans had returned to the city wall, Zi-Dong-Lei walked up to Zheng-Fu, who was meditating, and asked about his next plan. Because the situation on the battlefield at that time was not what they had expected. The advantage was still on their side.

"Don't worry. It won't be long… The real deal is about to begin!"

Groaaaan!!!

Arrrrrrrgh!!!

No!!!!!!!!!

My arm! My arm!

Slash! Slash!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Gnash! Gnash! Gnash!

As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, the demon monster beast vanguard, which seemed to be at a disadvantage and weakened, suddenly became incredibly ferocious and strong. That caused many warriors who were fighting fiercely to have their arms bitten off in an instant.

But the chaos did not end there. At the same time, the second wave of the demon monster beast hordes moved in to reinforce the vanguard. Most of them were at the advanced Genuine Deity Stage to the advanced Deity Monarch Stage, so they were much stronger than the vanguard.

"Is… is this… your plan, Little Comrade?"

"It's… it's not what I thought."

Zheng-Fu felt inexplicably embarrassed. He had managed to say it so coolly and was about to tell them his next plan, but an unexpected event happened first. Fortunately, it was just the second troop, not the commanders and generals themselves, making a move. "Then what are we going to do?" Zi-Dong-Lei did not blame Zheng-Fu, because unexpected events could happen at any time without anyone being able to foresee them.

"The second wave of demon monster beasts coming to reinforce their vanguard has caused us to change our plans a bit. We'll have to send your warriors out to fight again, but they only need to buy me some time. I'll inscribe a new killing tactical formation spell, which requires a lot of demon monster beasts' blood and entrails. So, you'll have to provide half of the resources. Once the tactical formation is operational, we'll share the..."

Blop!

"Little Comrade, don't worry. I'll provide all the resources you want. As for sharing, it's not necessary. You can take it all!" Zi-Dong-Lei lightly patted Zheng-Fu's shoulder before interrupting with a better offer.

"It wouldn't be good if the City Governor provided all the resources alone. I'm also a Demon's Hill City person, so I'll support him as well. And I won't ask for any share either!" Ma Clan Leader would not let Zi-Dong-Lei help Zheng-Fu alone. He also wanted to make friends with Zheng-Fu, and that was a good opportunity, so he did not want to let it go.

Umm...

"If Clan Leader Ma-Li-Wei wants that, then let's each provide him with half the resources he wants!"

Zi-Dong-Lei was slightly startled but soon calmed down. He also knew the Ma Clan Leader's intentions well. It was not a problem to have Ma Clan's support, since they did not want any share either. Besides, Zi Clan and Ma Clan had always had a good relationship, so he had no reason to obstruct Ma Clan Leader's intentions.

"Then I must thank you both very much." Zheng-Fu smiled in satisfaction at the great help he received from the two of them, especially the fact that he did not have to share the corpses of all the demon monster beasts that were killed. He immediately accepted their kindness without hesitation, before taking out two sheets of paper and a brush to write half of the list of materials for creating the killing tactical formation on each sheet.

"This is all I need." Zheng-Fu handed them to Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma-Li-Wei before continuing, "The sooner I get these materials, the sooner my tactical formation will be completed. That means the safety and survival chances of your clans' warriors will be higher." Of course, Zheng-Fu did not miss the opportunity to emphasize the safety of the warriors that the two clans had to send out to buy time for him.

"I'll have my men prepare these things for you right away, don't worry!"

"Me too."

Both Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma-Li-Wei responded immediately. They understood the importance of creating this tactical formation, including Zheng-Fu's urging speech.

Thank you very much!

"While waiting for your materials, I'll use the materials I have first, so as not to waste any more time."

After Zheng-Fu reached an agreement with the two leaders, he immediately soared out to the battlefield with the forces of both clans. At first, Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma-Li-Wei wanted to go with him by themselves, but Zheng-Fu stopped them. If they made a move, the commander and generals of the demon monster beasts would know and would definitely make a move as well.

But for him, he could hide his true energy and blend in with the warriors without making the demon monster beasts suspicious, and everything would go according to plan.

As for the situation of the four major clans and the leading medium clans that had just returned to the battlefield, after the chaos, they were able to start adjusting their battle formation and deal with the demon monster beast hordes normally. However, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

At the Lun Clan's defense position...

"Clan Leader, it seems that the Mou Clan has started to make a move, sir! Our scout just sent a report that they saw the Mou Clan's Third Elder meeting with dozens of great skilled black-robed men at their mansion, sir!"

Hah!?

"I didn't expect Mou Clan to make a move so quickly. Can't let this go on! We also have to hurry. By the way, has the Gong Clan responded yet?" The Lun Clan Leader's expression was not very good when he heard the report from the elder who was in charge of monitoring the movements of the other clans.

"Gong Clan had already responded, sir. They said… the first half of the Cursed Scripture that belongs to them has been sent here. All we need to do is merge it with the other half that was with us. However, they have an additional condition before they'll let us merge the scripture, sir!"

Condition?!

"What additional condition do they want?! Isn't what they asked for enough?!" The Lun Clan Leader seemed even more displeased upon hearing that. However, he still calmed down and waited to hear the condition.

"They want us to give Third Young Miss to marry their eldest young master, sir!"

What did you say?!

In general, such a condition was considered very good. It would allow the two clans to bond and give them more power. However, Lun Clan Leader did not think so. Because he loved his daughter with all his heart, how could he give her to someone else so easily, especially someone from the Gong Clan who liked to act so disgustingly and creepily?
