Shi Lang stood in the vast grassland. Behind him stood many warriors from the beast race. Beside him, Moon Baley gazed at the wall in the distance and said, "Are you ready?"
The young general nodded and said, "Yes, Senior. I hope their forces have enough numbers for the youngsters of the beast race to watch properly."
Moon Baley said, "After the formation is triggered, I will talk to the patriarch of the Heaven howling wolves. Unfortunately, I cannot promise the terms of war."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "No matter the terms, the result will be in our favor."
The heavenly spirit fox replied, "I wish the rest of us were as confident as you are."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Allow me to kick it off."
The lady nodded solemnly, and Shi Lang took a few steps forward. Then, he channeled his spirit energy inside his body and flew up to the sky. Above the exile city, out of nowhere appeared a cluster of dark clouds. Moon Baley sighed and said, "To think he can change the attribute of his spirit energy on a whim."
While the elders were surprised, Shi Lang's body was covered with lightning sparks, and he was concentrating all of them on the tip of his spear. Then, looking below, the young man took a deep breath and threw the spear.
It was like a streak of lightning flashing through the void, burning everything on its track. The line of lightning descended on the city in a blink, but it did not strike the city. Fifty meters in the void, the spear of lightning seemed to clash with an invisible force. However, the barrier was still hidden, and the spear was still advancing.
Shi Lang snorted and said, "Is that how you want to play?"
He paused and said, "Explode."
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ The lightning condensed rapidly, then exploded, sending out a visible shockwave. The vibration of the explosion was so loud that the array barrier shook like waves, and the young man smiled. Following this, a loud voice was heard, "Who dares?"
Shi Lang sensed a strong attack heading toward him and was ready to move when Moon Baley appeared before him. She opened her delicate mouth and snorted as she waved her hand. The incoming attack and the spiritual pressure from the lady collapsed with each other.
The invisible clash sent off torrents of air. Shi Lang sighed, and his eyes flickered with envy. Moon Baley said, "Come out, King Of Exiles. It is about time your reality is uncovered. You shame of beast race. Traitor."
Shi Lang did not say anything and only watched from the side after a momentary silence when everyone thought that no one would appear. Finally, a man appeared in the void above the city. The person was wearing a ragged black cloak all around his body, and his long hair covered his face.
Shi Lang could sense the glaring eyes hidden behind those long hair. Finally, the man asked, "Did you come here to mumble these childish insults?"
Moon Baley replied with a stern expression, "I came here only to tell you that your exile has ended. Your ancestors hid the truth of your race from the spirit race, did they not, Heaven-howling wolf, or should I call you Hell Hound, demon beast."
Her words shocked everyone, even Shi Lang. He could not help but open his eyes wide when he heard this. Others might not know the difference between spirit beasts and demonic beasts, but he did. Demon Beasts fed on the yin element and the baleful energy from killing organisms around them.
He said, "Hell hound, demon beast known for opportunity nature, and cannibalism to increase its strength. They breed and feed off of their young ones when the youth reaches the peak of their estimated potential."
The man gazed at Shi Lang and said, "To think a human would know so much about demonic beasts. Come here and let me look into your soul."
Shi Lang realized that his big mouth had finally landed him in big trouble. The man raised his hand and grabbed the void. The Terran sensed a strong suction around his neck, but before his body could be dragged through the void, Moon Baley sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder. The suction vanished, and the lady said, "You are an ancient relic. Why are you using strength against a junior? Oh, I forgot you demons did not have any dignity to begin with, right?"
The man lowered his hand and asked, "When did you know?"
Moon Baley smiled and replied, "Ever since you all were exiled. Unlike you overconfident fools, our ancestors were not fools. However, we needed to locate the humans first so that we have a chance to deal with you cowards."
The lady gazed at Shi Lang and said, "I apologize to you, Shi Lang, but these were the instructions left behind by master. This is why Senior Unity did not have full memories from that time."
Shi Lang did not reply immediately, he would not have felt wrong if it was just him, but the spirit beast or even Tian Long dragged his people into this. Finally, after a few moments, he angrily said, "If my people got hurt in your mess, I would hold you all accountable. They all are staking their lives on my word. I will not allow them to suffer in vain."
Moon Baley was surprised but understood that Shi Lang acted like an apt leader. While the supreme leader of the high council was surprised, the young terran said, "My team and I will help you deal with the lower-grade demons, but these old relics are left for you to deal with. They must not step in our battle, or I will not mind dragging your young ones to the death trap."
If anyone else, Moon Baley might have killed that person, but it was Shi Lang. Also, the lady knew they were at fault this time, so she nodded. Then, Shi Lang turned to look at the demon leader and said, "You want to know what I know about your kin, right? You are a demon king, aged around a hundred thousand years. You killed that senior back then, and her soul cursed your race. So you cannot exceed the level of Mahayana. Can you, old dog?"
Shi Lang felt the glare intensify and said, "Do not glare at me. I also know you need a human with Nirvana realm cultivation to enter the ruins and lift the curse. Too bad I am the only one you have. Let's see if your kin is as strong as they are said to be."
That said, Shi Lang descended back to the ground, and the man in the void was surrounded by the twelve elders of the high council. The man nodded and said, "Very well, I accept your challenge."
Shi Lang sensed Amelia's presence and said, "We cannot look too close to each other. They will target you. Everyone, if Amy is in trouble, lend her a hand."
Crystal nodded and said, "Boss, I will be beside sister-in-law. Do not worry. Nothing will happen to her."
Shi Lang was communicating through telepathy so that the enemy could not catch on to the sound made by the communicators. He wore his red battle suit and powered it up with high-grade spirit stones. The rest of the Ace division followed his lead and wore their suits too. The design was slightly different than what it was in the past.
Shi Lang also took out his Shura Sword and said, "Ace Division, on guard."
Twenty people let out a faint roar. They had surrounded the exile city from twelve different points and were supported by the array of masters from the federation. Shi Land said, "Cast the containment barrier."
The array masters nodded and placed a high-grade spirit crystal in the pile of materials they had prepared beforehand. The plan was to isolate the enemy with this barrier, protect the spirit beasts from the wave, and deal with as many as possible on their own.
Shi Lang said, "Behead the enemy. Then, no other attacks will kill them. Understood?"
The team replied with a yes, and Shi Lang saw a swarm of enemy troops pouring out of the city, covering the landscape. The man put on his visor and smiled. His hair had already started to turn crimson. He mumbled, "Demon Hunting Shura. Finally, a chance to try your power."
That said, he vanished from his spot, and the battle began. The ace division did not lag, and they moved in unison. Shi Lang did not leave any thing to chance, and his sword flashed, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
...
In the sky, the man in black clothes watched the scene without any care in his heart. He vanished from his spot and appeared in front of Sabre, who was prepared and blocked the attack with a slash of his saber.
The battle began, and both sides were competing with all they had. The youth of the beast race was unable to keep up with the battle in the sky, however, they were shocked to see a red light flicker through the swarm and the ground was turning red. Tex gulped and said, "So, this is war."
