Human Clan Defender-Chapter 514 -s 257 to 258 Rebuilding Demon-Subduing Division (Two-in-One - , Vote for Monthly Tickets)

"Shimohe is dead!"

Upon receiving the message, Ji Tianlu’s face showed a look of shock. Because he had to stay in Mountain-Breaking City, he couldn’t go to Saint Buddha Mountain to watch the battle. However, Ji Tianlu had always been paying attention to the news from Saint Buddha Mountain. For this reason, less than a day after Shimohe’s fall, the Heavenly Inspection Guard used special methods to send the news to Mountain-Breaking City at the fastest speed. Thus, Ji Tianlu received the relevant news at the first opportunity.

After getting the message, he was quite shocked by its content. First, it revealed that Shimohe was not a Great Grandmaster but had broken through to the so-called Domain Realm. This also indirectly indicated that the Great Grandmaster was not the ultimate stage for a Martial Artist. Above the Great Grandmaster, there was another realm known as the Domain Realm. If a Great Grandmaster was comparable to a high-level Demon Evil, then a Domain Realm expert was comparable to a Great Demon. In this way, the gap between Martial Artists and Defender Envoys had been officially leveled. In the past, Defender Envoys suppressed Jianghu. This was because the strongest Martial Artists were only at the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit; they could contend with ordinary Defender Envoys but were no match for King Rank Defender Envoys, let alone Venerable Rank Defender Envoys. But now, first came the emergence of Great Grandmasters, stronger than ordinary King Rank Defender Envoys, followed by Domain Realm powerhouses with strength comparable to Great Demons. With such realm powerhouses making their appearance, both sides were now on equal footing in terms of top combat power.

So, after receiving this news, Ji Tianlu deeply understood. It has become unlikely that Defender Envoys can remain as transcendent as before. Though Shimohe is dead, there’s an even stronger Shen Changqing among the Martial Artists. Being able to slay Shimohe means that even if Shen Changqing isn’t in the Domain Realm, his strength must have reached that level, and he’s likely stronger than an ordinary Domain Realm expert. Fortunately, Shen Changqing is a member of the Demon-Subduing Division and the only Martial Artist to have become a Defender Envoy. If he were someone from Jianghu, this event would undoubtedly shake the Demon-Subduing Division.

"Has Defender Shen not returned yet?" Suppressing the tumultuous thoughts in his mind, Ji Tianlu looked towards the person before him.

Xing Yi shook his head. "Defender Shen has temporarily settled in South Sea City. Right now, all the sects that have pledged allegiance to our Demon-Subduing Division are preparing for the subsequent attack on the Heaven Alliance. South Sea City borders the Heaven Alliance’s territory, so Defender Shen must be there to oversee the situation."

Ji Tianlu nodded. "Hmm." He acknowledged the sense in Xing Yi’s words. "Pass this message back to the Capital City, and let nothing be omitted."

"Yes!"

「 」

"Shimohe died, truly unexpected!"

Inside a mansion, the masked Eternal Alliance Master looked at the report in his hands, his gaze flickering slightly. This news surprised him.

Domain Realm... Rumor has it that in Ancient Times, there were powerhouses who broke through their limits. Shimohe reaching this step suggests he must have obtained an Ancient inheritance. However, I didn’t expect that someone as strong as Shimohe would fall at Shen Changqing’s hand. It seems I need to reassess the strength of this Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture! According to the report, both Shen Changqing and Shimohe’s strengths have surpassed high-level Demon Evils, reaching a level comparable to Great Demons. Among them, Shen Changqing’s ability to slay Shimohe clearly positions him as one of the stronger Great Demons. With the current strength of the Demon Evil Clan, Great Demons are already considered at the pinnacle. Of course, this assumes the Demon Saint doesn’t appear. Even if the Demon Saint were to emerge, the power of Great Demon-level experts is undeniable.

During this period, the Eternal Alliance had withdrawn most of its forces from South Nether Prefecture. However, they had not stopped gathering intelligence on the prefecture. After all, giving up a whole prefecture so easily was somewhat hard to accept. Now, however, the Eternal Alliance Master had temporarily set aside that idea.

With a Great Demon-level expert like Shen Changqing stationed in South Nether Prefecture, even if the entire Eternal Alliance were to mobilize, it would merely be like an egg striking a rock. Even borrowing the power of the Demon Evil Clan backing them, it’s uncertain they could pose any threat to South Nether Prefecture. More importantly, the Demon Evil Clan does not wish to clash head-on with such powerful beings; that would only result in a loss of their own strength. You only need to look at the Capital City, where Dongfang Zhao is stationed—no Demon Evils appear there. The last Demon Evil surprise attack on the Capital City was merely to release Wang Mubai.

Thinking of this, the Eternal Alliance Master looked at the person before him and said gravely, "Is there any news of Wang Mubai now?"

He is, after all, among the top Great Demons. Otherwise, the Demon Evil Clan wouldn’t have expended such great effort to rescue him, even risking the exposure of the Eternal Alliance’s spies, who had been concealed within the Demon-Subduing Division for many years.

The person shook his head. "Wang Mubai was originally active around Guangyuan Prefecture but later disappeared without a trace. Our people tried to track him down, but not only did they fail to find any clues, many of them were killed by Wang Mubai. As of now, his whereabouts are completely unknown."

"Check again. Try to locate Wang Mubai’s position as much as possible."

The face behind the Eternal Alliance Master’s mask showed a hint of helplessness. This Great Demon, unlike other Demon Evils, is elusive, and his strength is terrifyingly formidable. Keeping an eye on such an existence is no easy task.

Upon hearing this, the person bowed deeply. "Your subordinate obeys!"

While the two were talking, someone walked in from outside.

"I didn’t expect that in just a few months of my seclusion, so much has happened in the world. It seems your time at the helm of the Eternal Alliance hasn’t yielded much progress!"
