Worldwide Simulation Era

A demon secretly transmitted a message to Chang Shi, "I say, Chang Shi, what's going on with you guys? Is this lord reliable?"

With Lonemoon's warning just now, Chang Shi also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to make any more moves that would shake the army morale.

He turned around and smiled at his good friend.

Then, he stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, Lord Holy Infant was furious when he heard that Chi Jin had invaded the mountain lords. He would never allow such bullying to happen, so he sent his general, Lord Butcher, who is in the Embodier Realm, to deal with it!"

Whoosh!

The crowd was in an uproar.

The group of demons was shocked. They had thought that this person was the legendary Holy Infant.

However, he didn't expect that it would be his general.

Furthermore, this general's cultivation base was also at the Embodier Realm!

"Heavens! If one of the generals under Lord Holy Infant is an Embodier Realm expert, just how terrifying is he?"

Some demons exclaimed.

However, some demons also revealed worried expressions.

"This Lord's cultivation is indeed strong, but Chi Jin still has tens of thousands of demon soldiers under him. Even if he can deal with Chi Jin, we can't stop the rest of the army!"

As soon as he said that, the demons fell silent.

This was indeed a problem that could not be avoided.

There were a few dozen mountain lords on their side, and even with the demon soldiers under them, they barely exceeded ten thousand.

Chi Jin, on the other hand, had roughly forty to fifty thousand lesser demons under his command.

Among them, there were hundreds of Golden Core Realm cultivators and nearly thirty Nascent Soul Realm experts.

Chi Jin's personal guards were seven peak-stage Nascent Soul Realm experts.

"Why isn't it the Lord Holy Infant? We don't have enough troops here. We only have a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators. It's impossible to stop so many demons."

Some demons began to complain. Such emotions began to spread rapidly, and many demons even wanted to quit.

"Why don't we just run? Losing our territory is better than losing our lives!"

They wanted to stay in their hometown but didn't want to lose their lives.

For a moment, more and more demons wanted to retreat.

However, some expressed their willingness to fight to the death.

"Everyone, do you want to run away like stray dogs?"

"Even if you escape to another place, you will only be a dog under the other mountain lords!"

"I don't want to be a servant anyway. I'm going to fight it out with them today!"

Looking at the group of demons quarreling, Butcher was unmoved. Chang Shi wanted to persuade the demons to stay but was stopped by Lonemoon.

"If they want to leave, let them."

Chang Shi fell into silence. Gui Nian turned his head and watched everything silently.

"My Lord, what should we do now?" Gui Nian muttered.

At the same time, in the Holy Infant Temple hundreds of miles away, Lin Qiye was setting up a formation around the baby statue.

"I'll seal it now and decide how to deal with it later."

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the statue, Gui Nian's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Then, an image appeared in front of him. It was the scene of the demons quarreling.

"Oh? Have we already gathered?"

Lin Qiye's attention immediately shifted to the image.

The quarreling demons quickly divided into two groups.

Two-thirds of them wanted to retreat, and only one-third of them were willing to stay and fight to the death.

"Let them be. There's no point in keeping two-faced soft legs," he said indifferently.

With the Reflection Pearl's link, Lin Qiye and Gui Nian could communicate normally even if they were thousands of miles apart.

Moreover, Gui Nian was carrying the sub-body pearl. Everything he saw could be transmitted to Lin Qiye in real-time.

"Yes."

Although Gui Nian didn't quite understand Lin Qiye's thoughts, he completely obeyed his orders.

He walked forward and whispered in Lonemoon's ear, conveying Lin Qiye's intentions.

After hearing this, Lonemoon only nodded and did not ask much. She stood up and said loudly, "Quiet! The Holy Infant has a new order!"

Hearing Lonemoon's shout, the noisy arguments quickly died down.

She flew into the air and looked down at the demons.

"His Lord has ordered that anyone who wants to leave can leave without worry. We will not stop you!

"However, if you choose to stay, even if you die in battle, you can't retreat! Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the Holy Infant!"

Her words were clear enough, and all the demons present hesitated.

Some left after thinking for a while, while others chose to stay after a long struggle.

However, the number of people did not change much. About two-thirds chose to escape, and only about one-third stayed.

"A bunch of cowards! Since the Lord Holy Infant has spoken, he must be paying attention to this place. If we can't beat the enemy, will he stay unmoving?"

"Yeah, a bunch of cowards!"

Looking at the demons leaving, the ones who stayed behind cursed angrily.

Although they shouted so, they weren't that confident in their hearts.

Only God knew what the Holy Infant was thinking. If he didn't come to help, they would really die here today.

In less than fifteen minutes, the demons that wanted to retreat had already disappeared without a trace, and a small number of them were observing from a distance.

The Butcher looked at all of this and did not make any move.

As for those demons hiding in the distance, he only glanced at them and ignored them.
