Chapter 1211: Great Boost For the Morale!
Central Hall of the Demogorgon Temple.
Shi Yan, Blood Devil, Wu Lan, Fu Wei, Feng Han, Lin Xin, Gu Te, and Bath were standing solemnly. Zha Duo, Qi Ze, and Feng Yan weren’t eligible to enter the hall. They had to wait outside.
People standing inside the hall were all great warriors of Agate Star Area. They were the overlords of the regions around this star area.
Of course, they had Shi Yan’s trust, which was more important than power.
Shang Chen and An Liya were smiling and talking to each other.
Shang Qiu and Shusia had returned to Fantasy Mist Star Area to arrange for the juniors of Agate Star Area who had teleported there. They had taken care of the worries of the warriors who decided to defend to the death here.
An Liya wanted to stay in Devil Blood Star to wait for Shang Chen. Shang Chen could see her attitude changing clearly.
When they were in Cloudy Water Star of Fantasy Mist Star Area, An Liya didn’t agree that she should have a close connection with Shi Yan. She thought that it wasn’t good for their Drifting Fire. She thought it would bring trouble to them. She also opposed the tangled relationship between Shi Yan and her daughter.
Shusia had the same idea.
But it was different now. . .
Since she agreed to stay in Devil Blood Star, Shang Chen knew her attitude towards him was changed massively. If she didn’t appreciate him, why would she agree to stay and help?
Shang Chen felt a little upset.
He must aid that kid? Would Frederick and Xuan He tease him until he died?
"We trust the ones who are present here," said Shi Yan all of a sudden, smiling at Shang Chen. "Precursor Shang Chen, please tell the truth so we can understand the situation better."
Blood Devil, Bath, and Gu Te wore earnest faces and waited for good news from Shang Chen.
Who really wanted to die?
If they can survive and damage the God Clan at the same time, wasn’t it a very good thing to expect?
Shang Chen appeared here with a light of hope. He had cheered up the others.
At the same time, they were curious about Shi Yan’s identity. Also, they were skeptical about what An Liya had said.
Was it true that the force powerful enough to shake the entire universe was created by Shi Yan?
They believed in half of this.
Shang Chen had to confirm everything.
"Well, it’s not really clear if I’m just talking." As people were looking at him with hope, Shang Chen chuckled. "Let’s take a look. You should ask your friends to know the truth. I can’t read their minds."
Listening to him, Blood Devil, Fu Wei, Feng Han, and Lin Xin were baffled. They felt like everything become so absurd.
Anyway, what An Liya said was too exaggerated. If it wasn’t, why didn’t Shang Chen say so? He wasn’t so sure, was he?
It made people’s hearts sink. They felt insecure. They had shadows in their minds.
"Look? Oh good. Let’s take a look then." Shi Yan smiled and nodded.
Shang Chen raised one hand and pointed.
A crystal mirror appeared in the void. It was bright and it released a magical halo. The halo was changing like eyes showing the images...
The crystal floated above people’s heads in the hall like a massive screen. The shadows became clearer and they could even hear noises from the mirror. The warriors were so surprised.
Shi Yan looked at the crystal and smiled honestly.
"Hey, Shi Yan!"
"Hello, boss!"
"Muahaha, we’ll meet again!"
"Hey, how are you doing?"
". . ."
The mirror transmitted the cheering screams of the crowd including Jiao Shan, Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, Mo Fou, the teammates who had fought shoulder by shoulder with him on Desolate. They were gathering in the same place.
There were some who Shi Yan couldn’t even name.
They were all outstanding warriors of the famous forces from major star areas. After returning to their forces, they had become the focus to be trained intensively. Under the promotion of some unknown force, they had brought their warriors to march to Agate Star Area. They wanted to fight for Shi Yan.
"I brought three thousand battleships and thirty thousand soldiers from the Gu God Sect. All are at King God Realm, Original God Realm, or Ethereal God Realm. We have six Incipient God Realm experts," said Sha Zhao.
"We have two thousand battleships and fifteen thousand warriors. We have five Incipient God Realm experts. Two of them are at Second Sky," reported Jiao Shan.
"We have four thousand battleships and fifty thousand warriors. We have seven Incipient God Realm experts!" said Wu Feng.
"Our force is a little smaller. We have one thousand battleships and ten thousand warriors. We have four Incipient God Realm experts. We have two Third Sky of Incipient God Realm experts. They are my seniors," said Fou.
"We have..."
"Our force includes..."
"We got..."
The warriors in the mirror were the ones Shi Yan knew. They laughed and told him the forces they had brought.
Blood Devil, Bath, Fu Wei, Lin Xin, and Feng Han felt shivers down their spines. They had cold sweat beading their face.
They looked at Shi Yan in fear.
"What’s the total number?" Shi Yan looked at Wu Lan and asked.
Wu Lan paled, her voice trembling. "We got around twenty thousand battleships, one hundred and seventy thousand warriors including two thousand Ethereal God Realm experts, thirty thousand Original God Realm experts, and nineteen Incipient God Realm experts! We have five Third Sky of Incipient God Realm experts! My oh my, this force can attack Ancient God Star Area directly!"
The others discolored. They were baffled and they couldn’t help but whine.
Did they want to challenge the twelve families of the God Clan?
Fu Wei, Feng Han, and Lin Xin were speechless. They thought that Shi Yan was an absolute monster. They had never expected that Shi Yan could gather such a dominating force to save Agate Star Area. The joined force of the Ascot family, the Fernandez family, and the Bai family couldn’t rival this force.
"This is just a part of them," Shang Chen thought for a while and then said, "I’m sure that Heavenly Monster Tribe is on their way. Besides, the Bloodthirsty Force is still in the dark. I don’t know where they are now, but I’m sure they’ve arrived."
Pausing for a while, Shang Chen continued, "This unseen force should be more formidable. If the three families of the God Clan leave Agate Star Area, I would squeeze my head off for you."
Blood Devil, Fu Wei, Feng Han, and Lin Xin wiped their sweat.
"Er... It’s okay to fight, but please don’t destroy Agate Star Area!" Blood Devil shouted.
Bath and Gu Te also looked at Shi Yan with pitiful countenances, "Our Monster Clan’s territory isn’t big. You should tell them to be easy with our land. If they are careless and damage our planet, our homes will be destroyed. I admire you. How could you gather so many forces like that?"
Fu Wei, Feng Han, and Lin Xin couldn’t do anything but force smiles. They suddenly felt a big pressure that made them speechless.
"The three families have told us to yield. They’re using their familiar tricks," Shi Yan contemplated and then said, "Wait for my news. Once they take action, you guys should come immediately to circle them. If we want to do that, we should carry out the plan thoroughly."
"Haha. Don’t worry. We’re waiting for your signal."
"No problem. Agate Star Area will be the first battle against the God Clan. We must make it big and damage the God Clan significantly to their roots!"
"We’re waiting for your signal!"
Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, and Mo Fou regarded him with smiles.
Among this group, the elegant Shang Ying Yue was standing and watching Shi Yan, Shang Chen, and An Liya silently. She didn’t say a word.
When the discussion was about to end, she said softly, "Be careful."
Shi Yan smiled frankly.
-----------------------
Outside Devil Blood Star.
Fick, Ranno, and Bai Can were drinking together on the observatory platform of a battleship. They suddenly felt bored and their wine became tasteless. They stopped talking.
They were waiting in silence, waiting for something abnormal to happen on Devil Blood Star and waiting for the ones who yielded to leave Devil Blood Star.
It was the fifth day.
The Devil Blood Star was still safe and sound. Nothing strange occurred. No one had left.
They couldn’t sit still anymore.
Countless barriers, restrictions, and traps outside the star were bright and beautiful like magnificent rainbows with a mesmerizing halo. However, they were extremely deadly.
Hundreds of war chariots from the Dark Shadow Clan had surveyed the area. They knew the situation outside Devil Blood Star. Each group of the Dark Shadow Clan’s scouts had returned with stern faces. They reported that the defense of Devil Blood Star was so strict like an iron cage without a slit.
They had told Bello that if they wanted to attack, they had to pay a bloody price.
After Fick, Ranno, and Bai Can listened to Bello’s explanation, they couldn’t relax anymore. Finally, they had to face this tough riddle of Devil Blood Star.
"It isn’t normal at all. Their structure isn’t chaotic. It doesn’t look like what we used to face," said Bello.
"No one has left Devil Blood Star yet," Sloan knitted his brows. "It means that no one has escaped. Or they were killed before they could escape. That’s why no one dared to run away. I think the latter is more reasonable."
"I think so," Bai Can nodded, "A star area always has lots of different sorts of people. Cowards are everywhere. I think many people on Devil Blood Star are afraid of us. They want to run away, but they are forced to stay."
Fick and Ranno also said that it was the most likely possibility.
"They can react quickly. If they can stop the escapees, they aren’t simple at all. It seems like we can’t use our usual trick," whispered Bello.
"So, we have to force them, eh?" Fick frowned.
Bello shook his head begrudgingly. "If they aren’t messed up and they just retract their necks like that, we have to pay a big price when we attack them."
"You said that they’ve defended strictly. It has layers of lethal dangers out there. If we forcefully attack, we still have to pay a big price, right?" Ranno lowered his voice.
"I can try to make a way," Bello smiled. "I cultivate Space power Upanishad. If we want to attack them with force, I can try. As long as we can make a passage, Devil Blood Star will be defeated. It’s also a hard blow to their spirits."
Bello had cultivated Space power Upanishad to Second Sky of Incipient God Realm. In this vast universe, he was some sort of rare and powerful expert.
Experts like him were good at piercing through barriers and clearing passages.
The leaders of the God Clan were shaken.
"Excellent! If you can make a passage, I will forgive you for your Dark Shadow Clan’s failure at Agate Star Area before. You will be rewarded too!" Fick laughed and then ordered resolutely, "Work on it immediately!"
"I received the Chief’s order!" Bello bowed and then left.
He ordered the clansmen of the Dark Shadow Clan to retreat. He didn’t let anybody approach Devil Blood Star. Without riding a war chariot, he flew alone using the path that Shang Chen had gone. He squinted to assess something and urged his Space power Upanishad discreetly.
He wanted to tear the space at a vulnerable location. He wanted to make a passage through the barrier that lead directly to Devil Blood Star.
If he succeeded, the God Clan could rapidly overflow through his passage. Then, the layers of defense around Devil Blood Star would only exist in name.
