"Alright, let's do it this way. All Demon Kings, let's send out orders and first get our battle lines arranged in each territory," said one.
"As for us, let's learn from the humans' tactics. Capture the king first to capture his troops. Let's work together to take down those human Martial Emperors first before we talk about the other rabble. We'll wipe them out in one net," proposed another.
"Good idea!"
As the voices fell, the demon kings immediately emitted strong auras, stirring up whistling winds in the air from the fluctuations.
Then, they turned into streams of light, exuding an irresistible momentum as they shot towards the forest.
"My friends, just up ahead not far away, I sense the auras of humans," one said.
"You're right. Two powerful auras, must be human Martial Emperor masters. Let's attack together with our full strength and try to gain an early victory!"
"Alright!"
"Sounds good!"
Voices rang out one after another, each aura stronger than the last, each more confident than the one before, as if victory was assured.
In an instant, the four Great Demon Kings charged straight for the source of the energy fluctuations.
In the sky, a white-haired man cradled a longsword aloft, scanning the forest below with cold eyes.
Suddenly, he sensed four powerful auras surging towards him.
His pupils contracted.
His piercing gaze flashed sharply.
This look directly locked onto the four incoming Demon Kings.
It also sent chills down the Demon Kings' spines, filling them with a creepy feeling.
"We were too hasty. He's a Martial Venerable, retreat!"
The most perceptive among them, Flowing Sun Demon King, immediately realized this was a Martial Venerable and warned the others. Just a moment ago, he had been full of bluster, confident of an early victory. Now he turned and fled into the sky.
Seeing this, Chang Gen Demon King and Oblivion River Demon King also broke into a cold sweat. They turned and ran after Flowing Sun.
Flame Seizing Demon King, known for his speed, still barreled ahead, his eyes fixed on the white-haired man. He had neither heard Flowing Sun's warning nor sensed that this was a Martial Venerable master.
"Friends, this man looks somewhat strong, but the four of us together can definitely take him down," he called to the others.
"I'm fast. I'll attack him head-on while you three distract him from the sides."
"Victory is ours in this fight!"
"I, Flame Seizing Demon King, will go first."
After shouting to his companions, Flame Seizing locked his sights on the white-haired man. His body flashed as he transformed into an eagle and shot towards the man with tremendous power.
Finally, the white-haired man's cold eyes moved.
He drew the longsword in his arms and slashed down simply without flourish.
"What?!"
Flame Seizing's eyes changed as he sensed the overwhelming aura. "Friends, this man is stronger than I imagined! Quick, help me block this sword!" he shouted anxiously.
But his voice was met with silence.
He whipped his head around to see Flowing Sun and the others had already disappeared. His eyes widened in horror.
The sword slashed down.
Flame Seizing Demon King...
Thunk!
"Phew!"
At this time, Flowing Sun and the others had already fled thousands of miles away, panting heavily with lingering fear.
They had never imagined the humans would send out a Martial Venerable master.
Nor had they expected to lose a Demon King without even touching a hair of the enemy.
"What do we do now?"
"Think of something!"
"You're right. A Martial Venerable's appearance has already exceeded what we can handle."
The three remaining Demon Kings anxiously discussed countermeasures, completely devoid of their earlier bluster.
"Friends, there's no other way. This matter has spiraled beyond our control," Flowing Sun finally said gravely.
"First Lord Bogu, now Flame Seizing, this blood debt cannot be erased. War between our races is inevitable. We must return to the mountain and inform Him!"
"Songke Demon Venerable?"
Hearing that name, the Demon Kings shivered.
He was the king of the entire South Sha Demon World. To him, they were just insignificant Demon Kings.
But things had developed to this point. Even facing that terrifying figure, they had no choice.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead?
