Chapter 2179 - 2164: Jade Slip of the Demon Master (First Update)

Chapter 2179: Chapter 2164: Jade Slip of the Demon Master (First Update)

The memories of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong were vast like a sea of smoke. Even with the help of All Living Beings’ Will Power, Ye Zhen found it somewhat strenuous to browse through the memories of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

Each instant, thousands upon thousands of images flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind, all of which were the memories of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

Basically, ninety-nine percent of these images were useless, without any value.

Of course, it wasn’t completely without gain.

Given Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s level, he had access to a lot more secrets of the Demon Clan, including some secrets of the Demon God Palace, which Ye Zhen saw a part of.

Especially, when Ye Zhen saw the experiences of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong before he grew into the Seven Surnamed Prophet Demon Master, he was even more shocked.

He gained a stronger, more comprehensive understanding of the Prophet Demon Master.

And recognized how fortunate he was in being able to kill a Seven Surnamed Prophet Demon Master this time.

Since the Yuan Dan incident ten thousand years ago, no Prophet Demon Master had fallen.

This data itself was quite astonishing.

But what was truly astonishing were the abilities of the Prophet Demon Masters. They were truly—prophets!

Whenever major events occurred, they could have a sense of it. The higher their level, the broader the range of perception and the more specific the foreseen details.

They could not only help the Demon Clan avoid major losses but also let the Great Zhou Dynasty fall short of success.

For example, nine thousand years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty prepared a multi-path counterattack plan over five thousand years, which was foreseen by the Prophet Demon Master Jiu Jia of the Demon God Palace. Precautionary measures were taken beforehand.

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty almost charged into the traps set by the Demon Clan like fools, suffering heavy casualties, losing over half of their elites, and even losing a Prince, not to mention the countless manpower and financial resources lost, severely injuring the Great Zhou’s vitality.

Since then, the Great Zhou Dynasty was unable to effectively counterattack and entered a long-term confrontation with the Demon Clan on the Human Demon Battlefield.

Such examples are countless.

Both large-scale and small-scale battles have the shadow of the Demon Clan’s Prophet Demon Masters.

What made Ye Zhen break out in a cold sweat was witnessing the prediction of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong during the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor marching towards Blood River Fortress.

A great army will have losses, and the losses will come from the rear!

No wonder when the Yun Army of Seventh Crown Prince Congyun arrived, the rear defense was so impenetrable that it left Ye Zhen with no chance to strike.

If not for Gu Tieqi angering Jii Qi to create a battle opportunity, Ye Zhen might still be unable to find a chance for a surprise attack.

Fortunately, the prediction by Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong was somewhat simple, and if it had been even slightly more detailed, Ye Zhen might have found it very difficult to create battle opportunities.

Countless images from Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong continued to flash before Ye Zhen.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s gaze tightened, his Divine Sense moved, and the rapidly disappearing images before him slowed. Those images began to flash before him like a movie.

The initial images were of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong sitting in meditation at the Enlightenment God Platform of the Demon God Palace, contemplating the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Zhen knew of the Enlightenment God Platform of the Demon God Palace. It was one of the two holy places known in the world for contemplating the Heavenly Dao, along with the Heavenly Mechanism Tower of the Heavenly Temple, reportedly allowing those who entered to more easily perceive and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Depending on individual aptitude, the speed of comprehending the Power of Dao Laws could be increased from one or two times to hundreds or thousands of times.

The scene shifted again to the inner view of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong as he contemplated the Heavenly Dao.

To be accurate, it was the scene that his Primordial Spirit or inner heart saw or comprehended while he was contemplating the Heavenly Dao at the Enlightenment God Platform of the Demon God Palace.

At this moment, it was presented in the form of memory images most intuitively before Ye Zhen.

At the moment he saw this scene, Ye Zhen’s heart shook sharply.

He suddenly understood this might be the most valuable thing imprinted in Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s memory.

Because this was equivalent to the cultivation insights of a Dao Realm Expert contemplating the Power of Dao Laws, insights that are incredibly specific and can only be perceived but not conveyed in words.

Compared to cultivation insights recorded in handbooks or Jade Scrolls, they were infinitely more detailed.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhen moved his Divine Sense, left behind a Mirage Avatar, and directly entered the Temporal Sequence Space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Ye Zhen did not know how much time he would need to comprehend these cultivation insights.

But this opportunity was too rare. Ye Zhen encountered it and could not let it slip.

Leaving a word to Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Ye Zhen’s full focus of his Divine Sense submerged completely into the cultivation scene of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, joining the Prophet Demon Master of that time in complete contemplation.

....

In front of Blood River Fortress, upon hearing the dreadful news and spitting a Blood Arrow, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun was slowly helped up by a group of trusted aides, with medicines being fed and holding his chest, only to regain consciousness after quite some time.

"Sir!"

As soon as he regained consciousness, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun cried out in pain again, his expression was extremely sorrowful.

This was not pretense.

Seventh Prince Congyun and Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, although without the nominal master-student relationship due to bloodline division, shared the bond of mentor and student. Seventh Prince Congyun had always highly respected Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong diligently assisted Seventh Prince Congyun.

According to the rules of the Demon God Palace, if Seventh Prince Congyun ascended the throne in the future, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong would become the Prophet National Master. The Demon God Palace would not only let Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong inherit the national treasure but would also make every effort to elevate his grade.

Promoting him to an Eight Surnames Prophet Demon Master or even a Nine Surnamed Prophet Demon Master!

Now, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong had fallen prematurely.

"Summon the troops, mobilize the army, with this prince to breach Blood River Fortress, no creature should be spared after the city falls, all captives should be executed on the spot as a Blood Sacrifice to honor sir!" In his first conscious moment, Seventh Prince Congyun was determined to send troops for revenge for the blood grievance of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

"Send out scouts to find the whereabouts of Ye Zhen, once found, this prince will spare no cost to avenge sir!"

Faced with the gritted voice of Seventh Prince Congyun, the generals of the Demon Clan looked at each other, finally casting helpless glances toward Yii Si, the arbiter.

Yii Si glanced around and also gave a bitter smile, advancing softly to urge, "Your Highness, it pains me to hear of the death of Prophet Demon Master, and I wish to avenge sir right now."

But, avenging sir by breaking the city and massacring, we must first boost the army’s morale...

Yii Si hadn’t finished speaking when Seventh Prince Congyun interjected angrily, "Sir has fallen, the resentment is immense, why need....."

Yii Si’s bitter smile and his deliberate guide of gaze around caused Seventh Prince Congyun’s expression to freeze.

What he saw in the Demon Clan soldiers’ morale was completely different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, the soldiers should be filled with immense anger, wishing to devour the enemy’s flesh to avenge the blood grievance of Prophet Demon Master.

But what entered his eyes were soldiers with vacant expressions, and from their eyes, Seventh Prince Congyun saw unease, even fear.

Being a well-trained elite of the Royal Clan of the Demon Clan, Seventh Prince Congyun understood immediately.

Whether Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s fall or the complete annihilation of the 80,000 elite troops he took had dealt a fatal blow to the morale and fighting spirit of this army.

If he forced an attack, it might still succeed, but if they could harness five or six tenths of combat power, it would be lucky.

If there was any sign of defeat, the morale might collapse, and tens of thousands of troops could break apart immediately.

The Seventh Crown Prince Congyun was knowledgeable about military strategy.

At that moment, with pain and helplessness in his heart, he waved his hand slowly, "Temporarily withdraw the troops, regroup, and avenge sir another day."

While Yii Si accepted the order, his eyes shone with peculiar brilliance.

An heir who can endure setbacks and act rationally after frustration, an heir who listens to counsel, might be more worthy of serving?

Of course, all this requires the decision of Jii Wuxin, the Marching General, one of the thirty-six road Marching Generals.

Yii Si assembled the troops, while Seventh Crown Prince Congyun was transported to a carriage to rest, having just entered the carriage when the attendant of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, the young Moon Demon, came for a meeting.

"Your Highness, Prophet Demon Master left a Jade Scroll for the prince!"
