Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

At the bottom of a canyon, the battle between the two armies became fierce with the hail of bullets from hot weapons and the various unique killing moves of the Demon Racers.

The strong and powerful tiger men, lion men, bear men, rhino men, and elephant men are responsible for charging head-on and suppressing the opponent with brute force; the swift leopard men, fox men, and eagle men wait for opportunities and look for flaws to launch sneak attacks; the docile herbivores such as deer men and sheep men are the team's auxiliary, good at controlling magic or healing magic, and summoning various mutated plants to entangle, bind, and block the field of vision.

These orcs cooperated very well, and were able to clamp down on the flanks of Nura Huapiu's main Ghost Alliance force, preventing them from concentrating on a head-on battle with the Demon Tamer troops of the Temple of the Gods.

On the side of the Temple of the Gods, Hao Kun who had rushed back personally accepted the command mission. He and a group of elders formed the core of the formation and together constructed one after another unfathomable high-level attack formations.

These formations were extremely lethal, and even though the Ghost Alliance had dozens of late-stage demon generals, they did not dare to raid them. In addition, the solid defense capabilities made the demon controllers who tried to break through the point with long-range attacks return in vain, and even worse, they could suddenly launch poisonous creatures to invade the Ghost Alliance's positions.

Seeing that all parties were engaged in a tough battle, the commander Nura Shuu-Pyo had to go into battle himself.

He landed lightly at the intersection of the two armies' main forces, with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He raised his sword high and used his unique ghost energy to force the two armies to retreat hundreds of steps each.

Just as he was about to use his magic power, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the momentum was directed towards Nurarihyon.

But he calmly flicked his finger and shot out a stream of black air, knocking down an arrow that was coming at him. Then a man riding a black panther appeared, and it was Kevin.

"Oh? You've failed so many times, yet you still like to launch sneak attacks." Nurarihyon chuckled disdainfully.

Kevin looked angry, but he knew he had no time to fight with the ghost king. "Hmph! I'll let your lousy mouth keep on yelling for a few more days. Your doomsday will come soon! All members of the Iron Blood Alliance, follow me and retreat!"

"Ah? Are you going to escape now? You just tried to stop our army from advancing." Nura:Hualipedia was very confused, but at least the trouble was gone.

Not long after the coalition forces of the Iron Blood Alliance, the Beast Gate, and the Sealed God Temple left, Nurarihyon was just about to continue on his way after reorganizing himself when Miaomiao contacted the general via his cell phone:

"Uncle Nura, did the people from the Iron Blood Alliance leave from your side?"

"How do you know? Do they have any plan?"

"Of course. We have intercepted the news from the Iron Blood Alliance and learned that they have a big plan. Now please rush to the Soul Pavilion headquarters immediately. The coordinates will be sent to you later!"

At this time, Miaomiao had already reunited with Yingli and also encountered two ancient demons.

The black-haired middle-aged man was none other than Qing Ling, the former head of the Soul Pavilion, and the older-looking white-haired old man was none other than Yuchi Yan, the leader of the human kingdom a thousand years ago.

This former human leader had a lifespan comparable to that of the demons due to his profound magic skills. In order to hide his identity, he voluntarily gave up the eternal youth brought by his skills and turned himself into an old man.

"Forgive me for being so blind that I didn't recognize you. The main reason is that I don't believe you can return to the demon world to guide us."

Yuchi Yan bowed to Ying Li. In fact, he felt that Ying Li looked very familiar from the beginning, but as an outsider, he didn't know what had happened to Ying Li and thought that Ying Li had really died a thousand years ago.

Ying Li waved his hand to excuse him. "It's okay. The most urgent thing now is to help my partner find his soul."

As he spoke, he looked at the old Pavilion Master of the Soul Pavilion. The reason why this Pavilion Master appeared here was to ask Ying Li a favor. A huge change had occurred in the sect he was in charge of.

The old Pavilion Master Qing Ling stepped forward and bowed, his eyes full of melancholy and resentment. "Greetings, Your Excellency the Demon Lord. Our meeting is by no means accidental. In fact, with the help of Mr. Slanda, I have been in contact with the Ghost Alliance all the time, hoping to seek some external help."

"Oh? Tell me."

This was a coincidence. Ying Li had thought that going to the Soul Pavilion to ask for advice about Galantina's soul would cause a lot of trouble, but now the former leader of the Soul Pavilion also had a request for him.

"Hey! This brings me to the internal struggle of my Soul Pavilion..."

It turns out that this Pavilion Master did not resign of his own accord, but was plotted against by someone with ulterior motives. Originally, the Soul Pavilion was a neutral force independent of the Holy Land and the Ghost Alliance, until the Iron Blood Alliance emerged and broke the original peace.

The Iron Blood Alliance has always wanted to win over the Soul Pavilion and take its attainments at the soul level for themselves.

However, every Pavilion Master is unwilling to be enemies with the original demon clan and the current ghost clan, but he dare not directly offend radical elements such as the Iron Blood Alliance. After all, the demon clan has been in decline since the fall of the Demon Empire.

Unexpectedly, the unscrupulous Iron Blood Alliance bribed a group of core members within the Soul Pavilion, and they joined forces to suppress the faction close to the demon clan, including Pavilion Master Qing Ling himself.

On another dark and windy night, a group of bribed Soul Pavilion high-level officials joined forces to assassinate Qing Ling. Fortunately, Yuchi Yan was also at the Soul Pavilion headquarters that day. The two of them joined forces to fight their way out and escaped from the Death Swamp with the most important item, the "Key to the Void World". They hid in an inn on the outskirts and have been looking for an opportunity to counterattack for hundreds of years.

"What is the key to the virtual world? As far as I remember, the virtual world is the world where the Weilanti people were born." Ying Li asked.

Qing Ling took out a twisted, oddly shaped, worn-out key shrouded in black mist from the storage container. "Master Dark Flame Demon, do you still remember your colleague Master Zhatian Demon?"

"Zhetian... is it Black Sky Xiao?"

Ying Li's heart trembled. Could it be that Black Xiao had also survived by some means like himself?

At this time, Yuchi Yan said, "The reason why I went to find Old Monster Qing Ling on the day of the incident was precisely because of this matter. I wonder if you still remember a habit of that adult?"

Ying Li thought for a moment and replied, "I remember he always believed in a saying, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place', so every time he went out to fight, he would set up camp near the enemy's base camp."

Galantina nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense!"

Yuchi Yan flashed a helpless smile on his face, and then said: "Yes. At that time, I wanted to discuss with Qing Ling whether to move to our place. After all, the Demon Realm is not conducive for us to live there for a long time."

"What? Could it be that..."

Ying Li couldn't express the surprise in his heart in words. Could it be that the crazy guy was living in the virtual world?

Yuchi Yan seemed to see the thoughts behind Ying Li's surprised expression. He nodded and said:

"Your Excellency should have guessed something, but it is possible that the real situation is still somewhat different from what you thought. There is no rush for this matter. Please help the old monster Qing Ling calm down the strife in the Soul Pavilion, and then help your wife find the soul of the zombie and then discuss it."

Ying Li suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and glanced at the towering black castle at the end of the forest, which was the headquarters of the Soul Pavilion. His eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent.

"Alright. I'll help you clean up the mess. These people actually dared to collude with our enemies. They are really on a narrow path!"

Galantina rubbed her hands together and licked her lips excitedly. "Hehe~ We are going to fight again."

With the leader of the Soul Pavilion leading the way, the group bypassed numerous obstacles effortlessly and walked through this deadly place that was rumored to be a place where one could only enter but not exit as if it were flat ground.

After approaching the fortress, Slanda sent a signal to the sky, and the path they were walking on suddenly lit up like fireflies. This was a beacon left for the Ghost Alliance troops that would arrive later.

After a while, the ghost troops from all sides, led by Nura Huapiao and Miaomiao, gathered and surrounded the Soul Pavilion headquarters.

"Greetings to Lord Dark Flame Demon Venerable, Lord Soul Pavilion Master, Lord Heaven-Crushing Demon Venerable Envoy. I am the Grand Marshal of the Three Armies of the Ghost Alliance, the Slippery Ghost Slave Liang Huapiao, please give me your instructions, sirs."

Nurarihyon appeared in front of Ying Li and bowed to the three ancient demons. As the ruler who controls the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and a master of the fifth level of the Ghost King Realm, he behaved politely and had no airs of a superior.

Ying Li was also surprised at the way Nurarihyon addressed Yuchi Yan. He actually became the envoy of Black Sky Xiao?

Miaomiao walked forward, looked up at the Soul Pavilion headquarters, and said to Yingli:

"Father has almost finished talking with the envoy of the Eternal Night Empire. The Eternal Night side said that they will not directly intervene in the dispute between us and the Iron Blood Alliance. They will only provide material support to the maximum extent. If we can win, they will continue the talks on the alliance."

The demon clan is now truly a lone wolf with no support. No one dares to wade into this muddy water easily. After all, directly aiding the Ghost Alliance is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the Holy Land.

Yongye is testing the potential of the Ghost Alliance to see if the Ghost Alliance has the capital for them to take the risk. At the same time, it is also an observation of the newly born Ying Li, testing whether this former Demon Lord has the strength to fight against today's powerful enemies.

Since the army commander wanted to listen to his advice, Ying Li did not refuse and directly gave the order:

"Besiege the Soul Pavilion but don't attack it. First find the team from the Temple of the Gods that is transporting Galantina's soul."

"Order."

Afterwards, the Ghost Alliance army quickly changed its formation and formed an iron-clad encirclement in an orderly manner to surround the Soul Pavilion headquarters.

After completing the siege, Nura reported the situation to Ying Li. The next step was to select people who would be responsible for defeating the outer enemy forces one by one.

Miaomiao and Binghe volunteered to go into battle. At this time, they were the leaders of an elite ghost army, a team composed entirely of demon controllers.

Ying Li rejected them. He pointed at the five people one by one and said, "I just want you to follow me."

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Ying Li flew up without giving anyone the chance to ask more questions.

Nurarihyon was still a little hesitant, wondering if the Demon Lord was too casual. But Miaomiao assured him that the Demon Lord would not be wrong.

Slanda, who was also selected, also said: "Marshal Nura, please trust Lord Demon. I have seen his wisdom along the way."

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Galanthe urged.

"Uh! Ok, alright!"

The three masters Nura Huapiao, Yuchi Yan, and Qing Ling followed together. Together with Slanda, Galantina and Ying Li himself, these were the entire force responsible for intercepting the Sealed God Temple, the Hundred Beasts Gate, and the Iron Blood Alliance team.

In Ying Li's opinion, sometimes a small number of masters are far more powerful than an army of millions, because their small number and high mobility make them easy to dispatch and their movements are not easily detected by the enemy.

"Report! The Ghost Alliance has surrounded the Soul Pavilion headquarters, and our people can't contact the Soul Pavilion."

At the Iron Blood Alliance's combat command center, a soldier reported to Kevin.

"Humph! Don't be afraid. We have the elite angels summoned by Lord Mo Cha! Pass my order, and the entire army will charge toward the northeast. I want to capture Ying Li alive!"

On the other side, a secretive team from the Temple of the Gods—

They quickly shuttled through the narrow path in the swamp, thinking that no one could discover their tracks, but they didn't know that a dark shadow had already been watching them.

Soon cherry blossoms began to fall from the sky. Someone noticed something was wrong: how could there be such fresh and tender petals in this remote place?

Moreover, the road you have walked always appears under your feet again and again, and no matter how you walk, you will never reach the end of this road.

"Oh no! We're trapped in an illusion! Come on, prepare to cast a spell to break the formation!" an elder hurriedly ordered.

At this moment, stars suddenly flashed in the air, and a man in samurai clothes and holding a katana slowly faded out of the air. It was Nura Kabuto.

"Welcome to the Death Swamp of my ghost clan. Did you have a pleasant journey?"
