Over The World, Beyond Heaven

The Lun Clan Leader thought very hard. If he did not accept that condition, the entire plan would definitely fail and cause heavy damage. It might even cause the Lun Clan to lose its position as a major clan of Demon's Hill City.

"Clan Leader, although Young Miss is important to you, this plan is also important to our clan. Please choose the best for our Lun Clan!"

Yes, sir!!!

"For the sake of our Lun Clan, Clan Leader, please choose the best!"

All clan elders knew that their clan leader loved and treasured his daughter very much, but they wanted him to think about the clan's future first. Because if he made the wrong decision, the bright future would instantly be extinguished.

Sigh!

"This must be my fate… All right! Tell them that I accept their condition and order the 'Unification Plan' to begin immediately!" After thinking for a while, Lun Clan Leader finally made up his mind. He endured the pain and had to reluctantly lose his beloved daughter in exchange for the unification of Cursed Scripture.

"Clan Leader, you made the right decision!"

"With this decision, our Lun Clan will become the strongest clan in this region. No matter which clan, they must bow down to us!"

Long live Clan Leader!!!

Long live Clan Leader!!!

The Lun Clan began to move because the Mou Clan had moved first. Of course, it was not just the Lun Clan that moved; the Xin Clan and Gong Clan did as well. However, the Gong Clan had already allied with the Lun Clan and agreed on the benefits. Only the Xin Clan had not yet chosen to side with any clan. Although Xin Clan and Mou Clan were close, power and greed were impartial. Therefore, during that time, the Xin Clan also made its moves.

Several shichens later...

Zzzaaa!!!

Booooooom!!!

Hurry up!

Hurry to retreat from there!

Aaaaaa!!!

It's too late... Help me... Arrrrrrrgh!

Groaaaan!!!

Ha ha ha!

"Where are you rushing off to? Come back to have fun with us!"

"Big Brother, why are you rushing to deal with them? They're just little worms."

Huh!

"All right! I'll let them go for now. Anyway, our mission is accomplished. Retreat!"

The demon monster beasts that attacked the group of warriors from Demon's Hill City were none other than Seven Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions. All warriors below the Great Deity Stage were instantly killed when they encountered them. They were tasked with pressuring the forces of Demon's Hill City to retreat from the battlefield. Since the sky was getting dark by then, it was time for their shadow group to make their move. But at that moment...

Flap!!!

"You damn demon monster beasts! Do you dare to hurt our people?! Die!"

[Great Monarch Flame Hammer Skill]

Whoosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

Suddenly, a group of middle-aged men charged in with a powerful attack skill. Their target was the Seven Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions.

"Not bad! It's not a bad attack, but it's not enough!"

However, that attack did not affect those demon monster beasts. They stood there as if the hammers the group of middle-aged men were using were just pieces of rotten wood that could break at any moment.

No way!

Impossible!

"This is our strongest attack!"

"Could it be that they're at the intermediate Great Deity Stage?!"

Those middle-aged men were actually the clan leader and the elders of a medium clan. They were extremely shocked and anxious when they saw that their enemy was completely unharmed because, in reality, their attack could easily kill someone at the third level of the Great Deity Stage or above. The only possible reason why the attacks were ineffective was because those demon monster beasts had higher energy levels.

"Retreat! Our abilities are no match for theirs!"

Umm!

Of course, when he knew that he could not fight, the leader had to make a decision and look at the situation decisively. He should order his men to retreat as soon as possible. But that way was only for normal situations. It did not work when facing the vicious and vengeful Seven Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions. Because when those people were about to retreat...

Whoosh!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Gnash! Gnash! Gnash!

Arrrrrgh!!!

Seven Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions rushed toward the group of middle-aged men before they could even move. They used their sharp claws to slash through the middle-aged men's bodies, tearing them apart like tofu. Although some of them did not die, they lost at least an arm or a leg. The luckiest person was the clan leader, who only sustained heavy injuries without losing any part of his body.

Clan Leader!!!

The warriors and the remaining clan members turned pale because losing their pillar elders was no different from losing their political power, and it might end their clan.

Whooooosh!!!

Hah!?

"It seems like you guys got lucky. Let's play again later, humans!"

However, suddenly, the big brother of the Seven Infernal Flame Golden-Armored Lions sensed a large number of cultivators with the same energy level as them heading towards where they were. Their tasks were to create chaos and make the Demon's Hill City forces withdraw back to the city wall, so they chose to retreat before a new group of enemy cultivators arrived.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Where did they go?!

City Governor!

The group of people who were coming were Zi-Dong-Lei and the clan leaders of almost all of the major clans and medium clans of Demon's Hill City. When he arrived, Zi-Dong-Lei tried to look for the commander or general of the demon monster beast horde he had sensed.

"They... they... they ran away, sir, City Governor!" the medium clan leader who was injured from the battle replied.

Ran away?!

"Damn demon monster beasts! What the hell are they trying to do? Every time we get close to them, they run away from us," Mou Clan Leader said in an angry tone. He pretended to be dissatisfied and cursed at the horde of demon monster beasts who came to disturb him. But in fact, he was smiling happily and contentedly in his heart.

"That's right! What are they planning? They sent out commanders and generals to fight and worsened our battle situation. If this continues, ... we'll definitely lose to them!" The Xin Clan Leader also wanted to know what exactly the demon monster beast hordes wanted to do. But no matter what the reason was, if the situation continued like that, the disadvantaged side would be them.

"They've already lost quite a lot of their fighting forces. The ones left are all above the first level of the Deity Monarch Stage. I think we should let our warriors retreat and rest first. It seems that they're also withdrawing!"

Gong Clan Leader commented as if he knew that the other clan leaders were thinking the same thing as him. But in reality, it was he who wanted them to withdraw because their warriors were starting to run out of energy and strength.

Umm!

"Gong Clan Leader is right. I think we should order them to withdraw to the city wall first. If you guys stubbornly continue to fight, the ones who will lose will probably be you!"

Little Comrade Zheng-Fu!

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu's voice rang out. He agreed with Gong Clan Leader's idea because he felt uneasy, as if something was staring at them all the time. However, he could not tell what it was or where it was.

"If Little Comrade thinks so, then we'll follow!" Zi-Dong-Lei fully believed and accepted Zheng-Fu's decision. No matter what the young man said, he thought that there must be a reason behind it. Moreover, both Gong Clan Leader's and Zheng-Fu's opinions were reasonable and consistent.

All the clans retreated!

Yes, sir, City Governor!!!

Upon receiving Zi-Dong-Lei's command to withdraw their forces, all the clan leaders immediately ordered their warriors to retreat from the battlefield without hesitation.

Not long after, at the Zi Clan and Ma Clan's defense position...

After a day of fighting, the warriors of Zi Clan and Ma Clan had become more intimate. They had combined the main headquarters of the two clans into one place. This made the planning tent twice as large to accommodate the elders of the two clans. Of course, Zheng-Fu's seat was included.

"Now, our warriors have all retreated. The demon monster beast hordes have also retreated to the Demon Monster Beast Boundary Hill. But why do I feel so uneasy? Little Comrade, what do you think about this?"

After the tasks were sorted out, the pillar persons of Zi Clan and Ma Clan all came to the meeting to discuss the next battle plan. Zi-Dong-Lei was the one who opened the meeting, but after that, he asked to hear Zheng-Fu's opinion first.

"I feel just as uncomfortable as you. I don't think they'll withdraw their forces without any reason. I've never seen a demon monster beast horde or any demon monster beast attack like this before. Even though they have a high level of intelligence, they usually attack nonstop without giving us a break. So… I think there might be some invisible force hiding and waiting for a chance or time to attack us!"

Zheng-Fu believed that every action must have had a reason, except for those of beasts without any intelligence, who followed their raw instincts. But these demon monster beasts with intelligence would not take action without a plan. Because the demon monster beasts who could step into the Deity Stage must have had intelligence no different from humans, who could think and plan. But since they were all beasts, they were subject to the law of the jungle, which was that the weak must listen to the strong.

"Invisible force? Oh no!!!"

"What's wrong, Big Brother?!"

"City Governor, what's up?!"

"Master Zi-Dong-Lei, what happened?!"

Upon hearing Zheng-Fu's comment, Zi-Dong-Lei pondered and suddenly thought of something. He had a worried look on his face and stood up immediately. And that shocked everyone in the tent as well.

"You guys must know about the Demon Monster Beast Shadow Group, right?"

Ah!!!

Demon Monster Beast Shadow Group!!!

"Demon Monster Beast Shadow Group?!"

All the elders and Ma-Li-Wei immediately recognized and exclaimed in unison. Only Zheng-Fu did not understand what Zi-Dong-Lei was talking about.

"What is the Demon Monster Beast Shadow Group, Master Zi?" Zheng-Fu turned to ask Zi-Dong-Lei again in confusion. However, simultaneously, he could guess that what Zi-Dong-Lei was talking about was probably a group of demon monster beasts living in the darkness.
