I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1536 - 738: Prepare for Battle! Prepare for Battle!

Zhen Nan Pass, originally within the Prince Zhen Nan's Mansion.

Chen Yuan sat high above, his gaze solemn. Below sat Jiang He, Chu Changfeng, Ling Xu Daoist, Zhao Danqing, and others, in an atmosphere that was equally silent.

An invisible pressure swept across the entire great hall.

Demon God, Demon Saint, a million Demon Soldiers...

Any one of these terms is enough to terrify, and at this moment, they have all converged, naturally bringing an incredibly terrifying pressure.

For others, they might not be able to withstand it and would have fled for their lives by now.

The news of the million Demon Soldiers pressing the border had not yet spread; only Nangong Lie's spy buried within the demons knew, and at great cost, transmitted it to Chen Yuan.

He did not doubt the authenticity of this news. In fact, he had pacified South State so quickly just to respond to the pressure from the demon race.

With Nangong Lie's death and the fall of four Demon Saints, the demons' years of planning turned to dust, which would surely provoke the demons' fury, and a million Demon Soldiers pressing the border was not impossible.

"What should be done now?"

Chu Changfeng furrowed his brows and turned his gaze to Chen Yuan, hoping he could come up with a plan. Being the core of the interests in Shuzhou, only he had the qualification and ability to make them follow orders.

"A million Demon Soldiers, with a Demon God in command, this pressure is almost definitely the strongest human-demon conflict since the Demon War five hundred years ago.

In this poor monk's opinion, a proclamation should be made to the world, rallying the strong from the Human Race to assist in the battle, so we can definitely keep the demons outside the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border."

The Shushan Sect Leader, Ling Xu Daoist, said in a deep voice.

He did not favor facing the demon army with the current forces, as it was nearly impossible to hold them back. Only by gathering the power of the Central Plains could they contend against them.

"I agree."

Zhao Danqing nodded.

Jiang He frowned:

"Ling Xu senior, even if we rally the world, how many do you think will actually come to aid us?"

"You mean...."

"Heavenly Sword means that those forces won't help, and if they don't attack us at this time, it's already a blessing from the heavens."

Chu Changfeng exhaled deeply.

If the world weren't in chaos, rallying the world's heroes to face the demon race might be feasible, but now, the world is already in turmoil, with heroes vying for power.

They consider their own interests, not the interests of the Human Race.

Not to mention the recent invasion of the Northern Barbarians into Liangzhou, who went to help? Wasn't it the local forces in Liangzhou that risked everything?

Therefore, Chu Changfeng believes that counting on those guys is less reliable than hoping for a natural disaster midway through the demons' advance, cutting them off with a meteor strike.

"This...."

Ling Xu Daoist frowned, wanting to refute, but suddenly realized that Chu Changfeng's words were not without reason. Inviting them,

would they definitely help?

If that were the case, the world's heroes wouldn't be blocking Shuzhou, and regarding the issue with Chen Yuan, most of them would be on the same front.

After all, how could one not side with the most powerful and prominent Chen Yuan of today?

"What does Mingyu Daoist think should be done?" Ling Xu Daoist asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chu Changfeng didn't speak, just turned his gaze to the figure sitting at the head, waiting for his orders to be issued.

Chu Changfeng's intentions were already very clear, and the others also looked to Chen Yuan. The situation was now very clear.

Next, it's up to Chen Yuan to lead.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and spoke firmly:

"With South State in hand and the fall of the Demon Saints, the large-scale invasion of demons into the Southern Border was not unforeseen. Now, with South State at peace, we can handle it.

However, Chu's brother is right; resisting the demons is not something to rely on other forces for; ultimately, it's up to us to bear this pressure.

As for the odds of victory, who can predict anything before the battle?"

"Prince Yan's words are reasonable," Zhao Danqing nodded in agreement.

"The internal chaos of the Central Plains, the demons' long-standing plan was to secretly encourage it, hoping to settle it in one battle, otherwise all forces would rise against the demons.

It's impossible for the demons not to understand this, so this time, I am convinced that the demon's threat is likely more bark than bite, possibly retreating after capturing Zhen Nan Pass.

To avoid provoking the strong from the Central Plains to attack.

So, the force they bring this time is likely not too strong, the chance of victory is there as well; from honing a sharp sword to the fragrance of plum blossoms through harsh cold, without the baptism of blood and fire, our forces cannot completely unite or train a powerful army capable of pacifying the land.

The demons want to kill me, and I also want the demons to understand that even if the Dynasty collapses and the Central Plains fall into chaos, they have no chance of ruling the Central Plains!

Whoever invades our Central Plains, shall be annihilated!

Once the demons are repelled, it will be the day of our northern expedition!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

The demons indeed brought a lot of pressure on him, leaving him no time or energy to search for opportunities at Flame Mountain in the Southern Border. He could only think of overcoming this hurdle first.

However, within the crisis, there also lies opportunity.

Repelling the demons, what kind of renown would that bring?

South State and Shuzhou will completely rally around him, and those surrounding forces will gradually shape him into a godlike figure, akin to the legendary Grand Ancestor of Chu!
