Chapter 1022 The Great Armies
Many demon forces, who had already been hostile to the Immortal Phoenix Palace, also voiced their opposition. Some even felt that this was an opportunity to deal with the palace. They could incite various forces to attack the Immortal Phoenix Palace together and annihilate this newly-established demon power.
The impact of this news was beyond many people’s imagination.
With the spread of the news, many suddenly realized that Ding Hao, who once claimed to have entered the immortal land, and the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had returned. It should be noted that few people knew the news of the return of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect before, but now it was spread across the continent.
This made countless forces realize that things were beyond their imagination.
How powerful would Ding Hao and his Swordsmanship-seeking Sect become after returning from the immortal land?
The problem was whether the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would agree that Ding Hao chose to be the Holy Son of the Immortal Phoenix Palace and marry the Holy Goddess Xie Jieyu. Although Ding Hao had founded the rise of the sect, it was a human sect after all. Would it agree with Ding Hao to marry a woman of the Demon Clan?
In the past years, for countless human sects, it would be a great shame with such things happened to them. In the past, no matter how talented and outstanding the disciples who married the girls of the Demon Clan were, they wouldn’t be accepted by their sects in the end. They would either be banished, imprisoned forever, or expelled from the sects. In the end, they would all step down from their previous glory.
Would such a tragic fate happen to Ding Hao?
With such doubts, soon everyone in the Northern Region looked forward to the outcome.
But a few days later, some sects and forces received the invitation cards of Ding Hao’s marriage, and the signature on them was Li Lan, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
Countless people were stunned.
“Does this mean that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has agreed to this marriage?
“This is madness!
“Have they gone crazy?”
As soon as the invitation was sent, it meant that this marriage was not only Ding Hao’s business but also the decision of the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. This rising new force of martial arts had broken the traditional rules and agreed with the marriage of a human and a demon.
The development of this matter was beyond people’s expectations.
Some people began to speak up for Ding Hao.
“Xie Jieyu has always been a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Why can’t Ding Hao marry her?”
“On that day in the Snow Province Arena Battle, countless people have seen the Martial Demigoddess Xie Jieyu. She is obviously a lady of the Human Clan. How could she be a member of the Demon Clan? There must be some misunderstanding. In this world, only the Saber and Sword Addict has the might and courage to marry such a woman. Humph, what’s wrong with him falling in love with someone he loves?!”
“I do envy Xie Jieyu with an amazing man willing to take the blame for her. This is true love!”
Those who spoke like this were obviously Ding Hao’s crazy admirers.
Over the years, the power of the Immortal Phoenix Palace had grown, but it had almost never waged war against the Human Clan. It was regarded as a relatively gentle force of the Demon Clan. To some extent, some people were okay with Ding Hao’s decision.
For other people, what they saw over this matter was benefits.
In particular, the super forces such as the River Palace and Hidden Fragrance Peak, who had already had a death feud with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, were originally uneasy because of the strong return of Ding Hao and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. But at this time, they saw hope. They thought that it would be a good opportunity to add insult to injury as there wouldn’t be any better excuses to make Ding Hao and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect lose their reputation.
“Ding Hao claimed that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had gone to the immortal land. In fact, they have been hiding in the territory of the Demon Clan’s Immortal Phoenix Palace all these years!”
“The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has long fallen and become a depraved sect. In fact, the reason why they could rise so quickly is that they have long surrendered to the Demon Clan and become a lackey of the Immortal Phoenix Palace!”
“Ding Hao practices demon skills. He is actually a half-human half-demon bastard!”
“Six or seven years ago, the Immortal Phoenix Palace claimed that Ding Hao was their Holy Son. It can be seen that he had long surrendered to the Demon Clan. The Human Clan’s Holy Father of martial arts in Snow Province was actually trying to win popular support and his identity as the biggest traitor in the history of the Human Clan!”
“Ding Hao has evil intentions, and all of us should end him!”
“A fallen sect like the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should be completely eradicated and should not exist in this world!”
“The day of the wedding will be the day of Ding Hao’s death!”
All kinds of rumors immediately spread in this chaotic world.
The River Palace claimed that they would give Ding Hao a hard blow on the day of the wedding and completely erase the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect from the Northern Region.
At the same time, the top forces of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region, such as the Demon God Palace, the Heavenly Demon Temple, and the Wind and Thunder Peak, also clearly declared that they would never allow the Immortal Phoenix Palace to marry their Holy Goddess to a human. This was simply destroying the pure bloodline of the Demon Clan. They could not stand it as it would humiliate the entire Demon Clan.
If the Great Phoenix Saint insisted on her own way, she would suffer ruthless attacks.
…
On the Land of Divine Grace.
In the Stone Mouth City.
Standing on the high platform, Huo Jun looked down.
In his sight, all he could see were black-armored experts. The morale of the sergeants was high to the extreme. The majestic momentum was domineering as this powerful army appeared strong and solemn.
Although the Southern Heavenly Army was not among the four most elite main battle corps of God’s Palace, it was also very important with nearly a million staff members. The lowest-level soldiers among them were also masters. They had more than 10,000 warships and all kinds of equipment, as well as six masters in the God Realm, nearly a thousand masters at the Saint level, countless inscription formation masters, weapon refining masters, and pill masters.
This kind of power was comparable to many super sects on the Eastern Continent.
“Today is the day that I have obtained my own strength, isn’t it?” A cold smile surfaced on the corner of Huo Jun’s mouth. His lifelong ambition could finally be unleashed.
The black army was so huge that it spread to the horizon.
In the sky, the huge crack of the new space gate had exceeded 10,000 meters, and there was still a trend of rapid development. The army of nearly a million soldiers only needed five days to completely arrive in the Land of Infinity. At that time, no forces would be able to compete with the army wherever it went.
Beside Huo Jun, Gu Xing’er and Hua Mojian stood quietly.
When the two of them saw such a vast army, they were completely shocked. It was hard to imagine how horrible it would be if such an army did come to the Land of Infinity all of a sudden. Almost no power could compete with it unless the Human Clan and the Demon Clan united together.
But that was impossible.
The Demon Clan and the Human Clan had been enemies for a long time, so it was almost impossible for them to join forces.
Hua Mojian and Gu Xing’er were at a loss and did not know what to do.
Huo Jun raised his hand and was about to say something, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
In the distance, a cluster of black clouds rolled over and instantly arrived at the platform. A burly figure in black flaming armor stood on the clouds, holding a token shining with golden light in his hand. He said, “His Majesty has ordered that Lai Pengyi shall get back to the Divine Capital for certain purposes, and Qing Miaoyi shall be the new inspector.”
In the army, Lai Pengyi froze a bit. Obviously, he didn’t expect such a change. He didn’t dare to neglect the order and left after responding loudly.
A trace of doubt appeared in Huo Jun’s eyes.
A graceful and delicate figure appeared beside the black flaming armored figure on the clouds and slowly descended. She landed on the platform and bowed slightly to Huo Jun. Her voice was strangely tempting as she said, “Commander Huo Jun, I’m Qing Miaoyi.”
She was wearing a black cloak and a hollow black mask on her face. Through the strange patterns, one could see her skin as white as the moon. Her eyes had a kind of fascinating and strange power. When she stood there quietly, she was like the bright moon or a fairy under the moon.
Huo Jun frowned. “What does it mean that the inspector is now replaced?
“Lai Pengyi is just a lackey and there’s no need for me to worry about him. But this Qing Miaoyi showed up all of a sudden. Why haven’t I heard of such an important person in God’s Palace before? How could she be assigned such an important position?”
Huo Jun had a vague feeling that there was a strange power running in her body, like a horrible beast in the dark, which made people shiver. He had only vaguely felt this kind of strange feeling on the bodies of the God Emperor and the Divine Son before.
“I can’t underestimate this woman.”
Huo Jun waved his hand slightly as a salute. He then ordered the general to cut off the sacrificial offerings and sacrificial flags. This meant that the army’s oath was over. When the time was right, they set off immediately.
The Black Armored Army of the Southern Heavenly Army was majestic. The huge black ships of God’s Palace roared and rushed toward the huge crack of the space gate in the sky.
Under the graceful black mask, there was a trace of ferociousness at the corner of Qing Miaoyi’s mouth that did not match her temperament. Her beautiful eyes were shining with cold moonlight.
“I’m going back to the Land of Infinity again. This time, I’m going to get all of what I’ve lost back.” She cried out in her heart, recalling everything that had happened in the past, especially the green-robed young man that had caused her plans to go bankrupt and made her on the verge of death. This time, she was going to make him pay a heavy price to crawl and beg for mercy at her feet.
Gu Xing’er and Hua Mojian sighed in unison.
The start of the army meant that the large-scale battle between the Land of Divine Grace and the Land of Infinity had officially begun. This was a pure invasion, and it was far more terrible than the holy war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, which had lasted for countless years on the Land of Infinity.
But what they didn’t know was that in the western continent, the northern continent, and the southern continent of the Land of Divine Grace, the Feather Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Sea Clan had all sent out their own armies at almost the same time. Through the new space gate, they were able to locate the coordinates of the Land of Infinity, allowing them to build their own space gates and transmit their armies and experts to the Land of Infinity.
Coming to a new world meant there would be new opportunities.
Every clan would not sit idly by and watch God’s Palace’s domain expand and its strength increase.
The great armies of the Beast Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Feather Clan were like a vast ocean as they continuously invaded the Land of Infinity through their own space gates.
On this day, a new page of history has been turned.
