School flower's personal master

Chapter 12814

Xiahou Ren's eyelids twitched, and he quickly corrected, "We can't afford to lose the entire army!"

Even if he colludes with evil spirits, he still needs to have the Demon-Slaying Army under his command; that is his only means of survival.

Otherwise, he would lose his value, and the evil spirits would devour him in no time.

Xiahou Ren said in a deep voice, "You only need to help me create chaos and eliminate those troublemakers in the Demon Extermination Army who are not in line with me, such as Lu Jianxiong. The rest I will handle."

Although Shen Wudu died suddenly, his tactic was still effective.

Xiahou Ren desperately needs this savior aura to regain control of the Demon-Slaying Army.

"You want me to play along with your act?"

Saint Invincible scoffed: "You really think you're something special. I can wipe out the Demon Extermination Army in one fell swoop, why would I play along with your boring tricks?"

Xiahou Ren, however, was fearless and sneered: "If the Demon Extermination Army were so easy to wipe out, why didn't you wipe them out when Shen Wudu was in power?"

Saint Invincible was momentarily speechless.

Given Shen Wudu's control over the Demon-Slaying Army, even if the Demon-Slaying Army is indeed powerful, they have countless opportunities to completely destroy it.

The apparent reason he didn't do that was that his father, Saint Taiyi, forbade it.

Xiahou Ren snorted coldly: "If the Demon Extermination Army is really gone, things will definitely blow up. At that time, Tianjun will definitely go all out, and even those extraterrestrial forces will pay attention."

Have you thought about what the situation will be like then?

"You haven't considered this, but Saint Taiyi certainly has: should we listen to him or to you?"

Saint Invincible: "..."

Although high-level demons have chaotic habits, they are largely no different from human cultivators, and they also value hierarchy and status.

He would never dare to disobey his father, the Holy One, in the slightest.

It's not that the father and son were truly kind and filial, but rather that he had far too many offspring like Sheng Taiyi, at least eight hundred if not a thousand.

If he dared to defy the will of Saint Taiyi, he would be eaten by his own father in no time.

Xiahou Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The Demon-Slaying Army must exist and must be under my control. Only in this way can it best serve the interests of both of us."

“Shen Wudu was too stupid before, so this position can only be taken by me.”

Saint Invincible narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that Lin Yi will hold you accountable later?"

A fanatical light flashed in Xiahou Ren's eyes:

"The demons are launching a massive attack. I will personally lead the army to resist them and turn the tide. At that time, the entire Demon-Slaying Army will have to see me as their savior. Lin Yi? He is far away in Tianjun. What can he do to me?"

He said, word by word, "The Demon Extermination Army will ultimately belong to me."

Saint Invincible picked up the defense map and sneered, "You'd better keep your word."

The following day at noon.

Without the slightest warning, the demon army, led by thirty king-level demons, took advantage of a shift change and directly stormed into the Demon Extermination Army's headquarters camp.

After a thousand years of offense and defense, this kind of thing is actually not unusual.

Historically, the Demon Extermination Army headquarters has been raided more than once or twice.

However, if things proceeded normally, even during the weakest point of the shift, given the strength and experience of the Demon Extermination Army, they should not have been overwhelmed in one fell swoop.

Even if they suffer some minor losses at the beginning, they can maintain their composure and hold out until the entire army reacts collectively.

But today things turned out differently.

The defenses crumbled at the first touch.

The reason is simple: Xiahou Ren had made arrangements in advance, having already assigned Zhao Lie and others responsible for the rotation to another location.

As a result, the defenses were left more vulnerable than ever before, allowing the demon army to enter unopposed territory.

It is worth mentioning that after breaking through the defenses and entering the headquarters, the demon army, which should theoretically have been attacking indiscriminately, instead focused on several camps marked on the defense map under the guidance of a group of king-level demons.

Those camps were either occupied by Li Yu and his group from the Tianwu Hall, or by Lu Jianxiong's faction.

The core commonality is just one thing: they both dislike Xiahou Ren.

Without any external defenses, caught off guard and without even a chance for emergency assembly, even the strongest army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

This is exactly the effect Xiahou Ren wanted.

The unexpected outcome was that the chaotic battle scene that was expected did not occur, and the tents that should have been full of people were empty.

All of them are empty camps!

Xiahou Ren watched this scene from afar, and his expression changed drastically.

"how is this possible?"

He had made meticulous arrangements beforehand, and even personally confirmed that the demon army was in their camp just moments before their arrival.

How did it suddenly become an empty camp?

Xiahou Ren couldn't help but have a very bad feeling.

However, at this point, it was no longer possible to temporarily halt the process.

Regardless of whether Saint Invincible is willing to cooperate, even if Saint Invincible were so easy to talk to and truly willing to pull back from the brink, he simply couldn't stop himself at this point.

These are demons, not a well-trained regular army.

Even with the overwhelming power of a top-tier king-level demon, all Saint Invincible could do was herd them in a certain direction like sheep, nothing more.

Now that things have come to this, how can we possibly stop?

Besides, Saint Invincible is determined to destroy the Demon Extermination Army. It's a rare opportunity, so why should he stop?

Finished!

Watching helplessly as the demon army charged towards his ambush location, Xiahou Ren's eyelids twitched wildly, and he hurriedly ordered his men to hastily engage in battle.

As a former president, his battlefield command ability was not bad.

Retreating at this time is a major taboo. If the demon army charges, retreat will instantly turn into a major rout, and the entire army will be wiped out in no time.

Only by stabilizing our position and withstanding the first wave of attack can we have a chance of survival.

The result was that it collapsed at the slightest touch.

The group of people he gathered, including Zhao Lie, were, to put it nicely, seasoned veterans, but in essence, they were just a bunch of old hands.

He's good at bragging, and he's also quite the fighter. He's had some impressive moments on the battlefield, but those moments were built on the foundation of others holding the line and maintaining order.

To put it bluntly, this group is invincible when things are going well, but when faced with adversity like this, they are utterly vulnerable.

The entire front line was breached in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Lie was surrounded by three king-level demons and fought desperately, but soon fell down with a scream.

The other high-ranking officials of Qian Heng were caught while fleeing and were all beheaded.

As for Xiahou Ren himself, he was also trapped under siege and could only watch in despair as the defense line collapsed.

"Stop! Stop!"

Xiahou Ren desperately sent signals to Sheng Wudi in the distance.

Saint Invincible turned a blind eye.

To reiterate, in his eyes, the best outcome would be for the Demon Extermination Army to disappear; killing anyone is just as important.

Saint Invincible clicked his tongue: "It's a pity that Lin Yi isn't here, otherwise I would have killed him too."

Just then, a voice sounded behind him.

"Are you looking for me?"

Saint Invincible felt a chill run down his spine and turned around abruptly.

Lin Yi stood there, hands behind his back. (End of Chapter)
