Chapter 1040: Smoke Rises (I)
The demon army broke camp and marched south.
The mighty army of a million demons, having finally captured all those passes, once again began its advance south, drawing closer to the Northern Frontier Great Wall.
The reason that female demon lord who commanded the vast demon army finally made her decision at this moment was because a royal decree had arrived from the north.
That decree had not come from the demon race's royal city, but from even farther north, beyond the Demon Sea, from that land of death.
As for how Demon Lord Redsleeve knew the decree had come from there, the reason was simple. The decree of the Demon Emperor had been written upon a block of ice. That block of ice was so tough that even ordinary cultivators were incapable of damaging it.
The Demon Emperor had merely written a single brief sentence upon it before casually tossing it southward.
Only after several days did the decree "slowly" arrive at the southern demon encampment.
At the time, the commanders within the main tent were still arguing over when they should march south. In truth, there should not have been any argument at all, because most of the demon commanders had originally supported advancing south as soon as possible.
But after that young martial artist had calmly walked through the demon camp, quite a few commanders had begun to waver. They naturally knew that their Demon Emperor was likewise a peerless expert, and that if he acted personally, he could certainly stop that young martial artist, Chen Chao. The problem was, with his exalted status, would His Majesty personally come to the front lines of the battlefield?
