Chapter 1254: I Believe He Can Come Back


    The battle in Mystic Martial City ended, but the army did not move out. This was because there were still a lot of demon thearchs among the ten million demons who escaped. Whats more, the human army had to clean up the surrounding continents that were under the demons control. Since the humans won the battle, they had to grasp the opportunity to sweep these continents as well. They wanted to fully take over the demons territory!


    The North Thearch andpany remained in Endless Deep Sea, sending the army out to attack the surrounding continents. Since Tang Shenji was put in charge of post-battle matters, he led a group of people to gather the valuables in Mystic Martial City. There were still countless celestial stones and treasures in the 107 demon sovereigns paradise.


    ording to the North Thearchs instructions, they were to take every single treasure along with them and leave nothing behind. When they came back, they would distribute the treasures ording to each warriors work.


    Using a special method of voice transmission, they sent news of the battle back to East Imperial Continent. The continent was victorious. Everyone danced and rejoiced, celebrating the end of the cmity. The human race had won a great victory.


    The demon race waspletely destroyed. The humans would never be threatened again. They could look forward to peace and stability for generations toe. They would not have another sleepless night, afraid that the demons woulde and blow them to pieces.


    Of course, many people quietly gathered in the city za as well, mourning and offering sacrifices for the dead soldiers. More than half of the soldiers died in each Holy War. In these one or two years, the human race had lost more than trillions of people. This was truly the greatest cmity the human race had experienced in these seven hundred thousand years.


    For some time after that, the continent kept receiving reports that the continents previously controlled by the demons were conquered. The humans control over the region was expanding. From the way things were going, it looked like every city in Stersky Domain would be upied by humans. Apart from Snow Region, every other ce was under humans control.


    There was news spreading around the East Imperial Continent that the traitor of humans, Jiang Yi, was hiding in Snow Region at that moment. People said he had taken control of Snow Region and brought with him many more human traitors. People also said that they were going to leech on the power of Snow Region to fight the humans, take over East Imperial Continent, and finally rule Stersky Domain!


    <em>Jiang Yi, take revenge for me~ </em>


    The words that Ao Lu spoke just before he died were spreading rapidly throughout East Imperial Continent. It was taken as proof that Jiang Yi and Ao Lu were in cahoots. Jiang Yis reputation waspletely tarnished. He was now viewed as the number-one devil. Many families even began using his name to scare their children into being obedient.


    Five dayster, bad news arrived from the Endless Deep Sea. The remaining demons had gathered together to ambush the humans. As a result, a battle ensued in which they tried to take revenge for their fallen ones. At least a million humans were killed in this battle. Even one of the Human Race Alliance Armys assistant leaders, the n head of the Tang nTang Shenjiwas seriously injured in this battle. Half of his body was injured in an explosion. He was said to be in aa, in critical condition.


    The North Thearch was enraged. He sent the Sword Thearch and the Beast Thearch to kill the remaining enemy forces. He also instructed the disciples of the Tang n to bring Tang Shenji back to the continent to rest and recuperate. Although the premium-grade spirit herbs in the Tang n could likely repair Tang Shenjis legs and his battle power, it would likely take at least half a year for him to fully recover.


    As a result, Tang Shenji was no longer suitable to act as an assistant leader of the alliance. The North Thearch removed him from his role and allowed the Xuan n Head to take over. However, the Xuan n Head was fighting the enemy forces and was coincidentally seriously injured while he was rushing back. Although he was not as seriously injured as Tang Shenji was, it was said that he would take two to three months to fully recover. Whats more, there was no way he would be able to recover his eight-star battle powers.


    The North Thearch had no choice but to ask the Mo n Head and several other Sect Patriarchs of the concealed great sects. However, every single one of them turned down the offer, saying that they were not capable enough to take on the role. Atst, the North Thearch decided to leave the position empty. He appointed his son, the North Emperor, to settle post-battle matters instead.


    Ten dayster!


    The North Thearch led the army back toward the continent. They were almost done matters in the Endless Deep Sea. Most remaining demons had already been killed. A small portion of them was still remaining, but the North Thearch already left a few Demigods and a few million soldiers behind to finish them off. They expected that this would only take several months more.


    The mighty Mystic Martial City was gone. It was emptied of all its celestial stones and treasures as well. Even the 107 demon sovereigns paradises and countless demon ns residences were emptied. The human army returned with huge amounts of celestial stones and treasures.


    The surviving warriors were beyond excited. If they split all their loot among themselves, their descendants would have enough to tide them through ten lifetimes. Whats more, so many people perished in battle, and so many ns were wiped out. The situation in East Imperial Continent would change for sure. Many small ns saw opportunities to take over more territories and rise to power.


    However, everyone was sure of one thing!


    The battle was not over. There was still onest one to go. After the army returned to the continent, the North Thearch would revamp them and immediately prepare them for thest battle. If they did not kill Jiang Yi, the human race would always be in danger.


    Of course, the human races army was highly motivated to keep fighting. The North Thearch had a divine artifact with him; he was almost undefeatable. Jiang Yi and the Saint Empress alone could not be able to stop the humans from winning this battle righteously. Victory was bound to be theirs. Peaceful days were awaiting them.


    The Snow Region quickly caught wind of all these news.


    Thousands of ancient nsmen in the Snow Region began to panic. Many Sect Patriarchs and Demigods knew full well that Jiang Yi was not in the Snow Region. If Ao Lu and his demon army could not defeat the Human Race Alliance Army, they had very slim chances of defeating them, too. Would the Saint Empress and themselves alone match up to the North Thearch and his army?


    Under immense pressure, Mo Shen, Mantis de, and other formidable martial artists gathered in Heaven Hidden Sect to discuss a strategy with the Saint Empress. However, the Saint Empress did note out to meet them. Instead, she sent a single message: If Jiang Yi did not return before the battle, the Snow Region would perish for sure. If they were not prepared to submit to the North Thearch, they could prepare themselves to fight a losing battle!


    Submit to the North Thearch?


    Thousands of ns in the Snow Region had already lived there for hundreds of thousands of years. During this time, the East Imperial Continent already fought more than ten battles, attempting to take over the Snow Region. However, in the end, the Snow Region forced them to retreat. The feud between both regions ran deep and long. Now, the Saint Empress was asking them to submit to the North Thearch?


    When Mo Shen and Mantis de returned, they immediately gave orders for their disciples to prepare to fight a losing battle. People of the Snow Region would never surrender. Even if they had to fight to theirst warrior, they would be prepared to perish in battle. The people of the Snow Region were used to all sorts of horrible environments and circumstances; thus, everybody there was brave enough to rise to the challenge. None of them feared death. They united in the face of amon enemy, ready for the human army toe knocking.


    Why hasnt Boss returned?


    In one of the buildings in Heaven Hidden Sect, Qian Wanguan, Situ Yinian, Su Ruoxue, Mo Yaoer, Zhan Wushuang, Jiang Yunhai, andpany sat together. Qian Wanguans face was a mask of worry as he looked out the window. Jiang Yi had already been gone for several months, but they still had no news of him. He did not even appear when Ao Lu was killed. This showed that he was still stuck in the ck Sea.


    Zhan Wushuang and Huangfu Taotian exchanged a meaningful look. Both of them were experienced warriors. Huangfu Taotian had also broken through the Demigod realm in recent months. Although this slight improvement would not mean much against the Human Race Alliance Army, it wasforting for him to know that he could kill a few four- or five-star formidable martial artists.


    Situ Yixiao smiled bitterly and said, No matter whether he cane back or not; we have to prepare ourselves to fight a losing battle. Sin Ind is gone. If the Snow Regiones under attack as well, we will have no ce left on this earth to go to. Even if we have to die, lets fight a good fight!


    He cane back!


    Su Ruoxue suddenly spoke up from the corner she was sitting in. I believe he cane back. I may not remember many things, but I know he will not let everyone down.


    En!


    Mo Yaoer nodded confidently as well. He has never let me down. This time will be no different!
