Wei Xiong stared at Xuan City's wall and the metal monsters on the battlements.
It had been a week since he had started attacking minor towns north of Siren City. He managed to conquer small villages and abandoned towns. However, he couldn't capture two strategic locations.
One was the Tian Long Forest, which was an infamous forbidden region for cultivators. Even after the beastmen had migrated, the forest was still the home of many territorial man-eating insects and plants.
As for another troublesome strategic location, aka Xuan City, an unknown force had occupied it before Wei Xiong had reached there.
Currently, Xuan City's walls were made of metallic plates, which could reflect Qi attacks back to the attackers. However, it couldn't defend against elemental Qi.
Wei Xiong had been besieged the city for only five minutes, but the golems on the battlements were too strong for him and his men.
Furthermore, they used scary weapons.
TATATATATATATATA
Barrages of light-speed yellowish needle rain showered upon Wei Xiong's charging men. Even though they had transformed into massive crimson Onis, the strange black weapons in the Golems' hands fired unstoppable shells that could penetrate the hardened skin of the red giants.
Wei Xiong's men were never afraid of dying. However, the battle was too one-sided.
One after another, giant onis fell.
They died in vain. None of them could even reach one of the metal golems on the wall.
Wei Xiong was decisive. Upon realizing that he couldn't fight, he sounded the order.
"Retreat!!"
Unfortunately, his order came late. Out of 100 elites, 20 had left.
Though Wei Xiong made several blunders, he was still calm enough to appoint rear guards and organized the fleeing squad.
As Wei Xiong flew away from the city with his men, he heard the telepathic voice of the new city owner. His accent was strange as well.
[Where are you going? Come back! I still have many more weapons to test on you!]
Suddenly, a thousand metal golems were equipped with strange metal backpacks. Then, their jetpacks released a stream of fire.
Then, they took flight!
The heavy golems flew!
A thousand metal golems shuttled to the sky randomly at first. But suddenly, they mastered the control and chased after Wei Xiong and his men.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY!?"
Panicked, Wei Xiong didn't look back as they fled for their lives. He even ignored the sounds of gunshot and the bullets that came for him and his men.
…
= Two weeks later =
Wei Xiong had been hiding in Anding City, northwest of Chicken Ann City.
Because of the failure, Wei Xiong didn't dare to report his progress to his parent or his grandfather.
After all, he was the sole survivor!
Outside of the city walls, many strange golems patrolled the area, chopping trees and collecting stones back to Xuan City. Every time the golems found his men, they immediately killed them and stole their spatial rings.
Wei Xiong, for the first time in his life, was in despair. He wished that he never participated in this hellish war. Even with his current cultivation base and the newly awakened domain power, he couldn't do anything to these monsters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wished to return to the old days when he endlessly partied at Mountain Goose Sect and commanded all disciples like slaves. He started to question why he was even here.
"I was so sure that we were the strongest in the world after we had Kishin Douji's support. Why does it end like this!?"
Wei Xiong lamented, unable to accept the reality.
Then, he heard the voice of his dao god. He heard Kishin Douji's voice in his head.
'Do you wanna know why you failed?'
Wei Xiong was delighted when he heard the voice of his savior, "Yes! Please tell me! Why did I fail!?"
'That's because you ran into…'
Wei Xiong continued to listen to his god's explanation and the revelation. He widened his eyes in astonishment for several minutes. Afterward, he laughed hysterically.
RUMBLE
Wei Xiong transformed back to his Oni form. But now, his skin was pitch black as he had received another blessing from his god.
The man couldn't stop laughing while he looked at the sky. A dark beacon shone upon him, disintegrating his body and teleporting him to another realm.
…
It was the end of January, a month after the first surprise attack from Mount Hua Sect.
A large army of cultivators in silver armors formed ranks, organizing their formation and preparing support arrays before they could approach Siren City, located one kilometer north of here.
A total of 5,000 4th-stage experts, 1,000 5th-stage elites, and ten 6th-stage masters gathered as ordered by the emissary of the Holy Land's Great Zhang Clan.
A 7th-stage cultivator, who was the representative of the Great Zhang Clan, led this army here.
The middle-aged man in ancient Chinese military general gears stood in front of his men, gazing toward Siren City. His droopy eyelids seemed to be closed as if he was sleeping, but that was his natural look as his eyes were too narrow.
Zhang Ren looked neither skinny nor fat as his cheekbone shape was visible on his face, yet his well-built body couldn't be hidden under the thick armor plates.
The general patiently waited for the others to arrive. He had been also waiting for his scout to assess the general situation and map the entire region.
RUMBLE
While Zhang Ren had been waiting, he sensed two large fleets of flying battleships approaching from the east.
A small fleet with 10 battleships belonged to Liu Biao, another agent from the Holy Land's Great Liu Clan. He finally brought his men here to hunt Miaomiao and his family due to the recent warrant, issued by the main branch of the Liu Clan.
On one of their battleships, a supreme expert was there with them.
Huang Hansheng, aka Huang Zhong, one of the few 9th-stage cultivators in this world, escorted the fleet to oversee the general situation. He was also in charge of commanding the entire fleet.
Should he see Miaomiao anywhere, he was ordered to kill the wanted criminal on sight!
Meanwhile, the bigger fleet of battleships was even more impressive. As a flying island had been at the center of the fleet formation, it looked like an entire alternate plane had decided to invade this continent with their great forces.
Sun Wentai and his sect had arrived.
"Even the Great Huang Hansheng is here."
Zhang Ren turned east, gazing at his ally forces. He faintly smiled, "This battle should be easy. We probably don't need to do anything."
Like others, Zhang Ren planned to let Yuan Shaoqing and others initiate the battle first. Then, if Siren City were to fall, he would mobilize his forces to plunder the city.
Once the dust was settled, he should be able to claim some war trophies, aka women, beast slaves, elixir, essence cores, and precious treasures, without losing his men.
…
As Sun Wentai and Huang Zhong had arrived, a massive army with Yuan Clan's flags also appeared and camped one kilometer east of Siren City.
Yuan Shaoqing amassed a crusade army of 50,000 essence gathering realm experts, 20,000 foundation establishment experts, and 500 core pillar realm experts using his name. All of them came from small sects and clans, hoping to tag along with Yuan Shaoqing and plunder Siren City without risking their lives.
But Yuan Shaoqing's main forces were behind these gathered mercenaries. The elite troops of 500 6th-stage cultivators, led by two 8th-stage cultivators, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were stationed two kilometers away from the frontline camps.
Other elite forces, namely Mount Hua Sect, Poison Pavilion, and Liu Xuande's men also camped next to Yuan Shaoqing's main forces.
While many people wanted to ride on Yuan Shaoqing's coattail to rob the wealth of Siren City, Yuan Shaoqing had also schemed to use them as cannon fodders in this war.
Yuan Shaoqing flew in the sky, watching the arrangement of each army with a sneer.
'Yeah, keep celebrating. Sooner or later, we'll enslave all of you anyway. None of you plebeians deserve the future that I've prepared for this planet!'
…
While the human armies surrounded Siren City from the south, southeast, and east, a large group of demons camped a hundred kilometers northeast of Siren City.
Wei Huang and his demon armies dragged their feet, avoiding confrontation with the wandering stone golems and metal golems in the northwest region.
From Wei Yuan's leaked intel, Siren City had a friend to the north. Thus, Wei Huang stopped his army on their track, waiting for the situation to improve.
After all, there was no reason for him to fight for the humans or attack Siren City. Instead of harming his granddaughter, Wei Huang thought of sabotaging Yuan Shaoqing to save his granddaughter and his great-grandson.
However, one of the demons had risen in authority.
He was Wei Huang's son, who had submitted to Kishin Douji wholeheartedly.
Wei Cao no longer bothered disguising himself as a human. He strolled around in his 3-meter-tall crimson oni form, showing off his current cultivation base and the sinister blood element aura around him.
Now, he was one of the 8th-stage experts, whose physique was invincible to all physical and Qi attacks from cultivators of the lower realms.
Today, Wei Cao visited Wei Huang at his headquarter tent once more.
"Father, when will we attack Siren City?"
Wei Huang and Xu Lanying had been alone inside the headquarter tent as usual. Upon seeing Wei Cao, they sighed.
"We are waiting for Yuan Shaoqing to make the first move. Cao'er, be patient."
"But we have been wasting our time for months! We should have reached Siren City by now. I don't understand why we need to wait so far away."
"Haven't you checked the northwest region? Those golem monsters are everywhere. Xiong'er also went missing because he rushed in by your order."
"So, it's my fault now?"
"Yes. Whatever happened to Xiong'er is your fault. Had you listened to me and never submitted to Kishin Douji, we could have migrated to Siren City and lived a carefree life with Yuan'er by now!"
"…"
Wei Cao frowned and peered at Xu Lanying, thinking that she had seduced or tricked his father. He snorted and turned around, leaving without saying anything.
Wei Huang and Xu Lanying heaved a sigh of relief, happy that the brute didn't cause a scene.
Xu Lanying lamented, "We thought we were at the top of the food chain. As soon as Kishin Douji appeared and intervened with your clan, we lost our thrones."
Wei Huang sarcastically snickered, "We never had a throne in the first place. We had been sitting on beeswax chairs, thinking they were golden thrones."
The two demons preyed on their mind, hoping that Wei Cao would never revolt against them anytime soon.
…
After Wei Cao had left the headquarter tent, he brought out his phone and called Fu De, who had been guarding Mountain Goose City.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBEEP
Fu De picked up the call in less than a second.
[Yes, boss?]
"Capture and enslave all Xu Lanying's goons. I want those succubi as sex slaves."
[Hoh? You've quite a taste. Unfortunately, Xu Lanying already smuggled her disciples and clanswomen out of the city. Haven't you seen them in the army?]
"Oh? She is bringing them with the army?"
Wei Cao grinned as he found it interesting. He had been patrolling the army every day, but he hadn't seen the succubi among the marching troops.
Moreover, underage female onis, who were supposed to be tributes for his god, went missing as well.
In short, no female remained in the camp but Xu Lanying!
"Spread the words. Wei Huang and Xu Lanying are plotting rebellion. Report it to all demons."
[Yeah, it's so obvious that it hurts to watch. What are you going to do about them, boss?]
"For now, just spread the intel so that I can rightfully succeed the clan and become this world's only demon lord! You should go tell that cyclop clan to get their cooperation, and we shall hunt for Xu Lanying's goons together. I need them as seedbeds for my children!"
Wei Cao, unlike Wei Huang, worshiped Kishin Douji. He also shared a bit of the latter's taste, wanting to monopolize all pretty women for himself.
For half an hour, he finalized the detail of how they would usurp the throne of Wei Huang. During their conversation, Fu De mocked Wei Cao.
[Succubi are cunning. We can't enslave them without the help of your god. Contact him and ask for tools that can seal those succubi's power… unless you want to become sex-addicted like your son-in-law.]
"Do your part, damn vampire! I know how to deal with women! I'm not as stupid as that brat!"
[Yeah, I hope so. We need a smart leading villain, not a stupid one, okay?]
…
Meanwhile
"ACHOOOO!!"
Miaomiao, who had been lying on his back, suddenly sneezed. His sticky mucus flew so high that it got stuck on Dian Wei's face, who was having fun milking Miaomiao's erected rod with her human-like reproductive organ.
"Miaomiao. That's disgusting."
"Sorry. I didn't mean it. Someone must have gossiped about me."
Miaomiao wiped his nose and massaged his head, concentrating on circulating his newly acquired dragon metal Qi throughout his body.
Then, the red dragon scales on his stomach changed color to obsidian black. They also became glossy like black amethyst gemstones.
Not only the scales got stronger, but they also contained Qi deflection ability. Now, the metal scales began to repel the Qi in the air from entering the pores of his skin.
"Miaomiao. Don't transform into metal dragonewt while we're having sex. It hurts when my vagina hits the hard scales."
"Whoops. Sorry!" Miaomiao reverted back to his human form. Still, he continued to feel the changes in his muscle without paying attention to Dian Wei.
Seeing that Miaomiao ignored her, Dian Wei pouted, "You're evil, Miaomiao. How could you ignore me when we're making babies? Pay attention to me! Your dick is getting soft now."
"Ahahaha! Sorry. Let this evil villain compensate you with an extra-large serving!" Miaomiao dryly laughed and temporarily stopped circulating his new element Qi. His hands reached out to grab the bouncy boobs while he enlarged his rod by a size.
Fire in a Hole!
Dian Wei's body jerked backward as the hot semen flooded her womb once more. Her ahegao face and the tight hole aroused Miaomiao again, and the latter started moving his hips, using his usual combo.
Nero, who had been sitting and browsing Miaomiao's J-Phone and watching random movies from the DaoFlix, glanced at these idiot couples and shook his head.
Sometimes, Nero wanted to chase them out of his room. However, these demons were too shameless as they always had sex in front of him.
Nero grumbled as he flipped his giant body, laying on the side and resting his chin on one of his hands, watching a movie like a lazy modern teenager.
