Demon's Diary
chapter-1303

“Elder Liushui and Elder Qi, thanks for taking the long journey here.” Liu Huifeng shouted with a smile and cupped his fist.

The old man in sackcloth beside Liu Huifeng turned his gaze and nodded indifferently as a way of greeting.

“You’re too kind, Marquis Liu. You have devoted all your energy to guarding the frontier for the central imperial during these days, which has greatly pleased the Demon Emperor. He has instructed us to come and pay a visit to express his gratitude to Marquis Liu.” The young man in a purple robe said with a smile while the tall and burly man remained silent.

“Demon Emperor is so kind. I feel unworthy of such courtesy.” Liu Huifeng replied politely.

Standing in the crowd, Liu Ming’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard the conversation between the two.

According to the information he had obtained over the years, the four major families, Gao He Family, Kong Xiang Family, Liu Family, and Long Family, were formidable. Their influence spreads throughout the Thousands Demons Continent. In the central imperial, the four major families were also highly respected. Their family masters were even titled as the Four Great Demon Marquises. Their status was second only to that of the Demon Emperor.

Of course, Liu Ming did not have the full picture of the political power struggle among them.

“By the way, Elder Liushui, I almost forgot to introduce them. These are all the family masters from Zang State and Yu State who came to support after hearing the news.” Liu Huifeng suddenly thought of something, then he introduced Liu Ming and the others to them.

The young man in a purple robe quickly scanned the crowd with his eyes. The purple brilliance in his eyes flashed for a brief moment.

Liu Ming and the others felt a chill run down their spines as if their secrets were seen through by the young man in a purple robe, causing their hearts to skip a beat.

The young man in a purple robe frowned slightly. His eyes stayed on Liu Ming for a while, assessing Liu Ming for a bit. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked away.

“Fellow family masters have shown loyalty to the imperial and contribute earnestly in your duties. Once we have quelled the rebels, I will report truthfully to the Demon Emperor and reward all family masters accordingly.” The young man in a purple robe announced.

“Thank you, Elder Liushui.” The family masters present bowed and said even though they had different thoughts.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone returned to the You Rong City, walked into the main hall, and sat down individually.

Liu Huifeng and Huangfu Liushui sat side by side on the main seat while Huangfu Qi and the old man in sackcloth sat down below them. Everything seemed to be in order.

“Marquis Liu, what’s the situation of the Da Shuo Army outside You Rong City now?” Huangfu Liushui asked immediately as soon as he sat down.

“I was about to report this matter to Elder Liushui. This is the situation…” Liu Huifeng immediately explained the situation of You Rong City in detail.

All the family masters in the hall were listening attentively.

“… According to the report from our spies, the Da Shuo Army of Black Wind Col has received more than a dozen Celestial State demon reinforcements. However, there are only 3 Mystic Comprehending State.” Liu Huifeng said.

Hearing this, everyone present was overjoyed. Now that there were 2 Mystic Comprehending States, Huangfu Liushui and Huangfu Qi, they had surpassed the Da Shuo Army in terms of overall strength.

However, Liu Ming didn’t show any joy on his face.

“Great, the tide of war can change quickly. Since the enemy is weaker than us, we should seize the opportunity immediately. Marquis Liu, why don’t you give the order to attack immediately?” After a brief moment of contemplation, Huangfu Liushui stood up and spoke.

“Elder Liushui, should we discuss a battle plan first? Are we just going to rush forward so rashly?” The old man in sackcloth sitting next to Liu Huifeng hesitated momentarily and said.

“Elder Zongyang is indeed as cautious as the rumors say, but I just glanced at the enemy camp outside You Rong City from afar. It is only a few thousand miles from You Rong City, almost within reach. The mobilization of our troops is hard to go unnoticed by them. Besides, our strength is much stronger than theirs at the moment. There’s no need for us to be hesitant.” Huangfu Liushui said confidently with a smile.

“Elder Liushui is right. In that case, all family masters, please gather your people immediately. We will attack Black Wind Col tonight.” Seeing what the other party said, Liu Huifeng stood up and gave the order in a solemn voice.

The family masters below hurriedly stood up, agreed, and quickly left the hall. They flew toward the places where their respective families stayed.

Liu Ming flew out of the hall indifferently. However, he sensed a gaze falling on him at this moment, and his heart shuddered.

However, Liu Ming didn’t look back and didn’t stop moving as if he didn’t notice the gaze. He flew out of the hall in a blink of an eye.

On the main seat, Huangfu Liushui slowly withdrew his gaze, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Zongyang, the old man in sackcloth, asked to leave and went to mobilize the Liu Family Legion.

In a blink of an eye, only Liu Huifeng, Huangfu Liushui, and Huangfu Qi were left in the empty hall.

“Does 2 elders need to talk some rest after taking such a long way to this place? It’s a long journey from the imperial capital, but it only takes you 2 days. You must have performed some kind of mystic art, right?” Liu Huifeng asked with a smile.

“That’s not necessary. Demon Emperor used his immortal magic weapon to teleport Brother Qi and I to the vicinity of Zang State. After that, we only flew for a day and a night. We didn’t consume much spiritual power.” Huangfu Liushui waved his hand and said casually.

“By the way, there was a young man wearing a green shirt among the families just now. Is Marquis Liu familiar with him?” Huangfu Liushui changed the topic suddenly after the polite laughter. He waved his hand and launched a purple light. A figure emerged from the purple light: Liu Ming.

“Hmm… I remember his name is Liu Ming, and he is the family master of a mediocre family in Zang State. Why is Elder Liushui interested in this person?” Liu Huifeng’s eyes flickered with surprise as he asked.

“He’s surnamed Liu… Could he be an exiled member of your Liu Family?” Huangfu Liushui asked with a faint smile.

“Elder Liushui, you must be joking. That’s not true. In the Thousands Demons Continent, we are not the only ones with the surname Liu.” Liu Huifeng shook his head and smiled.

“Sorry about that. I was curious because I sensed a stronger spiritual power in this person that far exceeded his cultivation level. Marquis Liu, please don’t take offense to this.” Huangfu Liushui replied. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes, then he turned his head to look in the direction of Black Wind Col.

“Elder Liushui doesn’t need to worry about anything. We are far stronger than the Da Shuo rebels. Even if we can’t wipe out the enemy army in this battle, we can still inflict a heavy blow on the enemy’s forces. This will buy the imperial a lot of time to mobilize army to crush the rebels.” Liu Huifeng noticed Huangfu Liushui’s expression and said slowly.

“Marquis Liu is right.” Huangfu Liushui nodded and said smilingly. However, another thought was bothering him.

The details of the Da Shuo Dynasty were only recorded in the central imperial library, and only the imperial family could browse it. Hence, the family master of the Liu Family did not know how formidable the enemy was.

On the contrary, Demon Emperor of the central imperial dispatched a secret army of hundreds of thousands toward the Zang State because of the emergence of the Da Shuo Dynasty, but no one knew about it.

The reason why Huangfu Liushui insisted on taking action immediately was because of his own motive.

He had a limited lifespan, and his cultivation reached the Mystic Comprehending State. Moreover, he was a direct descendant of the central imperial family, thus becoming one of the strong contenders for the next Demon Emperor.

As the Da Shuo Dynasty returned, several contenders for the Demon Emperor’s throne had already taken action. Huangfu Liushui naturally intended to make some achievements before others.

Of Course, Liushui wouldn’t be telling Liu Huifeng about it.

After all, the Liu Family’s attitude toward the successor of the central imperial had always been somewhat ambiguous. Telling him about this matter at this moment might inflict more variables.

Huangfu Qi glanced at Huangfu Liushui, but he still didn’t speak. His face still remained expressionless, giving the impression that he followed Huangfu Liushui’s decision.

Liu Huifeng put his hands behind his back and looked toward the Black Wind Col outside the main hall. His eyes flickered slightly, seemingly in deep thought.

At the same time, the place where the Qing Family stayed.

After Qing Fang heard Liu Ming’s words, he immediately ordered the Qing Family to gather.

To prepare for the war, everyone in the Qing Family had been staying in their residence, so they quickly gathered together.

“Qing Fang, do you remember what I told you before? Once the war unfolds, you and the rest of the family should follow closely behind me. Don’t stay too far away.” Liu Ming said with a deep voice.

“Yes, family master.” Qing Fang agreed solemnly.

“Okay, then let’s go.” Liu Ming waved his hand and flew toward the main hall in the city first. Qing Fang immediately followed with the Qing Family’s cultivators.

In the main hall of the Qing Family’s residence, a girl in black tulle stood inside the door, quietly looking at Liu Ming’s back. It was Xie’er.

The light in Xie’er’s eyes flickered slightly. She turned into a cluster of yellow light and burrowed into the ground.

Whether it was the Liu Family Legion or the cultivators of the major families, they were all considered elites.

Only half an hour later, when the sky was getting dark, the members of the major families in You Rong City had gathered outside the city. The main force of the Liu Family had also been reorganized.

Although the major families stood together, they were still some differences that could be vaguely seen.

Some families stood alone while others grouped with several other families.

Qing Family, Lei Family, and the other 3 families had already stood together. Liu Ming exchanged glances with the others.

In mid-air above You Rong City, Liu Huifeng waved his hand and cast a spell to remove the enchantment on the city.

A distant bell sound came from the city!

“Set off!”

Liu Huifeng waved his hand blankly.

养精蓄锐数日的各大世家之人和柳家军团飞天而起，化作无数道遁光，朝着黑风坳的方向铺天盖地而去。(未完待续。。) The people of various major families and the Liu Family Legion turned into countless escape light and flew toward the Black Wind Col overwhelmingly.
