Time flew by, and three days had passed since the conversation that day. For these three days, Sun Wukong stayed within the Inner City Lord’s Mansion of Battle Demon City, needing time to assimte those things and to carefully consider the path he would take in the future.


    After three days of contemtion, Wukong had roughly rified his thoughts. First and foremost, he needed to find a way to leave this world. Then he would try to return to Pangu Realm, revive his master, find Bajie and White Dragon, and if possible, annihte the Heavenly Dao; if not, he would leave behind a doppelganger.


    In any case, he had to ensure that the Demon n of Pangu Realm would not be eradicated at its root. As for the rest, it was useless to think about them now; he could only take things one step at a time since the affair concerning the World Suppressing Stele was too significant.


    So, this morning, Wukong left the City Lord’s Mansion and strolled along the streets of Battle Demon City, observing as he went. It was his first time entering a city since he arrived in the Netherworld World, so he was naturally curious.


    As he slowly walked down the street, Wukong suddenly felt that maybe this kind of life suited him better, but the thought vanished as quickly as it came.


    n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    While Wukong was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of drums. Simultaneously, the entire Battle Demon City sprung into action. Allbatants grabbed their weapons and took their positions, while merchants and other nonbatants on the street quickly found ces to hide.


    Still somewhat confused, Wukong felt someone grab him, and when he turned his head, he discovered it was Xi Zhao!


    "Hurry up, someone might be attacking the city. Let’s go help!" With that, Wukong followed Xi Zhao as they both rapidly ran toward the Inner City Lord’s Mansion. On the way there, Xi Zhao told Wukong what had happened.


    It turned out that the city-states of the Netherworld World didn’t get along well and were even antagonistic towards one another. Although the distance between each city-state was extremely vast, that didn’t stop the city lords from harboring ambitions. Therefore, sieges weremon urrences, and the higher echelons of the Netherworld World seemed to not prohibit such battles.


    Actually, Battle Demon City was previously known as y Demon City and was governed by the Taoist Race. The Taoist Race wasn’t part of the Human n, but they were very simr to the Taoist Sect of the Human n. There was even a legend suggesting that the Taoist Sect originated from the Taoist Race.


    The people of the Taoist Race were born masters of Taoist arts, looked no different from humans but carried innate Dao Patterns on their bodies. Thus, members of the Taoist Race advanced in strength particrly quickly.


    However, the Taoist Race still faced defeat by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi leading countless members of the Demon n, who then captured y Demon City and renamed it Battle Demon City.


    After that, there were other city-states that led armies to attack, but they were all repelled by Di Jun and Donghuang. Since then, Battle Demon City rose to fame, and the duo of the city’s Supreme Lords became a symbol of the Demon n. Yet, unexpectedly, today, someone dared to attack Battle Demon City.


    Of course, Di Junter shared all this with Wukong. At the moment, Wukong and Xi Zhao were standing among the Demon Venerable Squad of Battle Demon City.


    The Demon Venerable Squad of Battle Demon City, the sharpest sword in Di Jun and Donghuang’s arsenal, consisted of seventy-two Supremes with more than Seven Patterns, of which fifty-four were Seven Patterns Supreme and eighteen were Eight Patterns Supreme. This could be said to be the strongestbat force of Battle Demon City.


    Currently, these seventy-two individuals, along with Wukong and Xi Zhao, totaling seventy-four, all knelt on one knee in front of the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion, awaiting Di Jun’s pre-battle mobilization. However, at that moment, Di Jun suddenly changed his tone, "Starting now, Wukong and Xi Zhao are appointed as the chief and deputy leader of the Demon Venerable Squad.


    Everyone is to obey their orders without error. Your mission is to decapitate the enemy!" Having said that, he didn’t wait for Wukong and Xi Zhao’s astonished expressions to settle and leapt into the air. But seeing Wukong’s surprise, he added, "Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, there are no cowards within my Demon n.


    Seize your courage, and show the invaders that my Demon n is not to be trifled with!"


    As Di Jun’s voice fell, the seventy-two Supremes roared in unison, "Those who vite the majesty of my Demon n shall be in!" The resounding battle cry ignited the hesitation in Wukong’s heart, and it surged with fervor! The consecutive defeats had already stripped away Wukong’s former arrogance and ferocity.


    One scheme after another, one formidable enemy after the next, had forced Wukong to tread carefully, to look before and after and to live in humiliation. But this was not Wukong; the real Sun Wukong was the hero who couldugh in the face of the vast sky without fear, the madman who would fight regardless of who the opponent was.


    So, hearing the angry roars of these people, Sun Wukong suddenly felt that he had found his true self. He slowly stood up, then made his way to the front of the crowd and bellowed, "Demon n warriors, battle, battle, battle!" There was an endless surge of fighting spirit, a soaring momentum.


    With a swoosh, he brandished the Jingu Bang, and then, with a sudden tremor of his right foot, a great brilliance emanated from Sun Wukong. After the light receded, Sun Wukong had changed his appearance.


    He was now d in an imposing set of Dragon Scale Cangyun Armor, with a sanguine, blood-stained Poyue cloak draping his back, wearing a ze Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown on his head, Vajra Purple Cloud Bracers on his arms, and Kirin Ghost Stomping Boots on his feet. He indeed looked majestic and full of grandeur.


    Sun Wukong looked at the seventy-two Supreme experts and Xi Zhao in front of him, didn’t say much more, and with a wave of his hand, everyone suddenly scattered and disappeared, while Xi Zhao also entered a state of invisibility.


    At this time, both Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were dressed in battle robes, with Di Jun in An Azure Dragon Armor, and Donghuang Taiyi wearing a Taiji Eight Trigrams Armor. Both flew high into the sky, at an altitude where they could already see the billowing smoke in the distance.


    Based on their current distance and the speed of the enemy, they would likely reach the base of the mountain in a quarter of an hour.


    Di Jun continued to observe the enemy situation from mid-air, while Donghuang Taiyi had alreadynded on the walls of Battle Demon City. As the city had been conquered by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi leading the Demon n army, both were well aware of all the strengths and weaknesses of this massive city situated halfway up the mountain.


    The advantage was clear; the Battle Demon City, located on the mid-mountain, was easy to defend but difficult to attack, unless the enemy was entirelyposed of Nine Patterns Supreme experts, otherwise, they could only obediently climb up from the bottom of the mountain. This provided a significant advantage to those defending the city.


    However, the disadvantage was equally apparent; the enemy could attack from all sides of the mountain simultaneously. Although the mountain was steep and Di Jun, together with Donghuang Taiyi, had proudly used their great magical power to smooth all the edges of the mountain, turning it essentially into a giant pir, even so, this could not y a more significant role.


    Those with Four Patterns or above could destroy the mountain body and therefore climb up. Therefore, if the enemy had more troops than oneself, such terrain would be very stressful.


    That’s why Donghuang personally descended to guard the South City Gate, so that military forces could be concentrated as much as possible on the other three gates. Using Nine Patterns Supreme experts to defend the city, probably only the Demon n had this capability.


    In other’s offense and defense battles, Nine Patterns Supreme experts were strategic-level resources, and no one was willing to use them just to guard city gates.


    Before long, Di Jun, who was flying in mid-air, could clearly see the appearance of the enemies at the forefront. They looked undoubtedly human, but with three eyes on their foreheads, obviously belonging to the Three-eyed n!


    The Three-eyed n should be considered a powerful force in the Netherworld World, inherently possessing formidablebat power, and what was most fearsome was that the third eye of each member of the Three-eyed n had an innate divine ability. Some could freeze everything, others could burn everything, and some could see through all illusion techniques.


    Seeing this time that it was the army of the Three-eyed n, Di Jun suddenly had a bad feeling. The cities of the Three-eyed n were very far from here; even for a Nine Patterns Supreme expert flying at full strength, it would take a day and a night, and ordinary experts would need at least half a month on foot. Let alone such arge army?


    But their own side had not detected it until the enemy entered their alert range.


    It seems the Three-eyed n had been nning this for a long time. He sighed, a trace of reluctance crossing his eyes.


    In any world, alive or dead, one cannot escape war! And here, once dead, it’s truly aplete demise, a soul-shattering death.


    But Di Jun would not be afraid. The Demon n wouldn’t be either.


    So, since you want war, then war it shall be, a fight to the death!
