“Thousand Threads Entwined!” A blue ribbon was offered by Su Hao into the air, and all the countless threads were drawn out, swirling in the wind as they wrapped around Lingchuan Demon Lord. He remained unafraid; in his current state, he certainly could not spare any strength to deal with such a treasure. However, as a dignified Ancient Demon, how could he lack defensive artifacts?
A series of Demonic Flames ignited again. Although those threads were not ordinary items, they could not withstand the terrifying Demonic Flames. They attempted to ensnare Lingchuan Demon Lord, but upon being struck by the Demonic Flames, they turned to ashes!
Afterward, all the Demonic Flames returned to a Fire Lotus that shot from Lingchuan Demon Lord, suddenly crashing toward the Mountain Xuan Formation of him and Su Hao!
The formation was about to break! However, Lingchuan Demon Lord felt no sense of triumph; he had merely created a passage through their Mountain Xuan Formation, which did not mean their formation had collapsed!
“Quickly!” Lingchuan Demon Lord transformed into a phantom and dashed through. Right behind him, walls of blades formed again. If he had hesitated for even a moment earlier, he would have been trapped inside until he was eliminated!
“Ling Chuan!”
“Don’t engage them in battle; we must retreat!” Seeing that the situation for Nine-Headed Demon Lord and Succubus Lord was not much better—they were being slaughtered by three Sword Formations and found no way to counterattack!
Lingchuan Demon Lord realized they were in an absolutely passive position. Even if they continued to fight desperately, the outcome would not change.
“Yes!” Although neither of them felt it was time to retreat—these divine beings had reinforcements and could win through sheer numbers; their Demon Army was certainly not inferior! Especially for Nine-Headed Demon Lord, being forced to “retreat” in such circumstances would be more painful than death.
However, this was an order from Lingchuan Demon Lord as the commander of the Army. Even they had no choice but to comply with the retreat; any objections could be discussed later!
“They… retreated?”
“They just retreated like that?”
From Lu Feng himself to the experts, warriors, and civilians in Nanhua City, witnessing such a scene left them with mixed feelings. They had fought fiercely for over ten days, losing countless lives throughout all of Nanhua City, yet now they were easily defeated and pushed back by modern warfare!
Heavenly Principle Where is it!
Su Hao certainly would not foolishly pursue them any longer. It is important to remember that the strength of the Demon Clan is still formidable. If he naively thought they were defeated and recklessly chased after them, the result would surely be that he would be ambushed and suffer a great loss!
It should be noted that both the Mountain Xuan Formation and the Sword Formation have their limitations; it is impossible to continue slaying demons from such a distance!
"Victory!" Regardless of their complex emotions, they could at least see the movements of the Demon Clan.
Now they were genuinely retreating! Therefore, they undoubtedly achieved victory!
After so many days, they had already made too many sacrifices, and the current situation was exactly what they most wanted to see. Whether this victory was won by their own efforts or with help from others, in any case, they had won!
However, at this moment when the external enemy was retreating, Lu Feng immediately understood Wang Long's meaning: who ultimately achieved this victory mattered greatly!
"Lu Feng, the City Lord!" Seeing Lu Feng and Elder Zhongxuan wanting to return to Nanhua City, Su Hao suddenly stepped in front of them, intentionally blocking their main direction toward Nanhua City.
"Thank you very much for your assistance just now, Your Excellency," Lu Feng pretended not to recognize Su Hao, displaying an extremely "polite" smile. "However, we still have many post-war matters to arrange in Nanhua City. If Your Excellency has nothing else to attend to, please step aside."
Without giving the other party a chance to muddle through, Lu Feng directly stated his intentions.
"Hehe, of course, the Nanhua City Lord is busy with important matters. However, after this battle, we have nowhere to rest. Isn't that a significant matter for Nanhua City?"
Wang Long secretly admired him. Back in Fire Village, he had realized that although Su Hao's strength was not as great as his own, his cunning, intelligence, and eloquence were all top-notch talents not to be underestimated. Now it was evident; using one’s own weapon against one’s own shield had left Lu Feng without an excuse.
No matter what, having just received such a significant favor from them, it wouldn't be right to turn against them now, would it?
Wang Long had already noticed that the companions of Su Hao, who had previously been hiding in the Valley, were now leaving their hiding place and heading towards them and Nanhua City. The people in Nanhua City, whether they were the original City Guard or the later divine reinforcements, were all so excited that they completely let their guard down against these "allies."
"Alright, this is easy. Just have your subordinates follow me," Lu Feng did not expect that even though the other party was determined to swallow Nanhua City, they would be so impatient to act right after the Demon Clan had left!
Weren't they afraid that the Demon Clan was merely staging a feigned retreat to take advantage of their internal strife with Nanhua City and seize both at once?
"As you wish." Su Hao was taken aback, realizing he had underestimated Lu Feng's quick wit. However, this was already in line with their wishes; he directly cleared a path down to Nanhua City, where their numbers were greater and their strength superior. No matter what tricks they had up their sleeves, at least they still had the power to counterattack.
"Lord of the City!"
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Looking at the enthusiastic crowd that surged forward, Lu Feng cleverly raised his hand suddenly to prevent them from surrounding him, so as to avoid any traitors mingling among them and launching a surprise attack. "This time we successfully repelled the Demon Army; this is a victory for all of Nanhua City and for all of you. I will convey this news along with your contributions to every Sect and major city so that your achievements can be known by all the divine beings!"
"Oh!" This time, it was mainly the young people and those discarded disciples from the Sect who shouted louder. Lu Feng's actions not only allowed their names to spread but also helped them gain more attention from the Sect or perhaps even regain its recognition and trust!
"However, Lord of the City, did we really win?" Elder Yu still looked somewhat incredulous. "Wasn't it said that this time the Brahma Demon King would personally oversee things? I thought that even if we could defeat the Three Great Demon Lords, we would have no hope of victory. Who would have thought they would suddenly withdraw!"
"Hehe, I fear that this so-called Brahma Demon King is merely a distraction created by some ulterior motive to draw our full attention," Elder Yu said. "Think about it; when we first heard that the Brahma Demon King was among this Demon Army, what was our reaction? Did we have any energy left to think about anything else? Without stronger divine reinforcements, our only thought was that we might not be able to protect Nanhua City at all!"
"Indeed," Elder Yu suddenly realized as Wang Long reminded him and turned to look at the most obvious "suspect."
"Hehe, it seems you are suspecting our intentions!" Su Hao sneered as he approached but rose into the air above Lu Feng and the others, looking down at them arrogantly. "While I admire how quickly you have come to suspect us, may I also suspect that you are simply ungrateful villains? Even if we were to eliminate you directly, it would not violate our sense of morality!"
"Well, you sure have a lot of excuses. Are you trying to ease your own guilt?" Wang Long's words struck at the core.
"You!" Su Hao was nearly choked by Wang Long's statement, struggling to catch his breath. "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. After all, the law of the jungle is one of the iron rules of our Divine Realm!"
"What!" The nearby experts from Nanhua City sensed something was off. "Su Hao, are you saying that your intention in coming here to support us was to swallow Nanhua City?"
"Pah! You’re not capable of that. Don’t think that just because you drove away the Demon Clan’s experts, you’re really something special. Don’t forget, you only faced off against the Three Great Demon Lords; the Demon Army hasn’t even been deployed. Your achievements are built on our prior exhaustion of them. Otherwise, do you really think you could have driven them back in one blow?"
"Perhaps." Su Hao's smile exuded confidence, causing Lu Feng and others to feel a sense of foreboding!
On what basis did he believe that their revealed strength could directly control Nanhua City? Unless, as Wang Long had previously speculated, they had hidden insiders with sufficient power and status within Nanhua City!
"Be careful of..."
Lu Feng was about to loudly warn his subordinates about potential internal traitors when sudden screams echoed from afar. Lu Feng immediately recognized those voices belonged to his trusted subordinates. Before they could react, Su Hao suddenly summoned a black curtain that vanished into thin air.
Although it was unclear what this strange artifact did, Wang Long and Lu Feng could definitely sense that something had changed around them!
