Chapter 1103 Hot
Despite several twists and turns, the campaign to eradicate the inner demon ring ultimately achieved its intended goal.

Well, although the Inner Demon Ring died, it committed suicide, and no one received the honor of killing him.

Despite the fact that all parties had been eager and well-prepared beforehand, none of them achieved any merit. Instead, the unremarkable Lian Feihong stole the spotlight, becoming one of the most sought-after candidates thanks to his amazing performance as the Prince of Nanchen.

There were also some minor incidents during this period, such as the strong return of the maritime martial artists, who specifically chose the Martial Arts Monument as their representative.

Wu Linbei, who was the orphan of the governor of Maijing Prefecture whose family was wiped out, and a demonic soldier who suddenly repented, was also the hero who directly caused the downfall of this great demon by piercing his back with the Heart Demon Ring.

His identity is too complicated, but he has the support of maritime warriors and controls the Nine Cauldrons Mantra, so he is already qualified to compete for the throne.

Dongfang Daqian was somewhat frustrated, as formidable opponents emerged one after another like mushrooms after rain, and his once greatest reliance, the sacred artifact, was no longer his exclusive secret weapon.

He has been keeping a low profile lately, racking his brains to improve his skills and avoid being overtaken by others.

Then, some major news came.

While the powerful clans were besieging the Heart Demon Ring, the Shishen Sect suddenly launched an attack. The Five Heavenly Kings joined forces and annihilated twenty-eight powerful demon soldiers, none of whom escaped.

This achievement was so brilliant that it overshadowed the ripples caused by the fall of the Heart Demon Ring.

Because of these two battles, almost all the powerful demon soldiers of the past have been wiped out, and in the entire Demon Soldier Village, no one is qualified to compete for the Supreme Demon Soldier.

After two rounds of devastating blows, the level of powerful demonic soldiers has been severely disrupted, resulting in a gap in their ranks.

"Perhaps this is the Queen's conspiracy!"

The supreme demonic weapon, qualified to slay the Enchantress, has been postponed once again to thousands of years later, allowing her to calmly remain behind the scenes and brew an unparalleled conspiracy to destroy the world.

However, upon closer examination, the astonishing strength displayed by the Buddhist sect has made all the powerful families extremely wary.

Those were twenty-eight demon lords, more than the number of people who were besieging the Heart Demon Ring this time. I heard that during the battle, the Western Heavenly King Yanshan performed the most outstandingly, and with a move called the Time Robe, he left the demon lords with nowhere to escape.

There is also Chaluozha, the Three Lives Without Leakage Bond evolved from the Seal of Release; any demonic weapon that falls into it will perish.

The other Heavenly Kings also possessed unique skills, and together they annihilated twenty-eight powerful demon soldiers, with each of them having a record of 5-6 kills.

"He's still slightly inferior to Zhou Daqian; he took down eight of them single-handedly!"

"Yes, although the Impermanent Killer Peacock is assisting from the side, the Sacred God Sect may not necessarily have five Heavenly Kings appearing. There must also be a Palace Master-level figure assisting and organizing the scheme. Both sides are about the same, about the same!"

Lian Feihong's place, which used to be deserted, has become bustling with visitors.

The amazing performance of Zhou Daqian, the Lord of Nanchen Prefecture, made Lian Feihong a highly sought-after and powerful force, attracting many large and small families to join him.

Lian Feihong was beaming with pride and valued Zhou You even more, promising to share the empire equally with Zhou You after he ascended the throne.

Yes, this promise has existed since ancient times, and it is generally considered an empty promise.

The contemporary feudal lord, the one who secluded himself in the sacrificial palace before ascending the throne, made countless similar promises to people before his coronation. If he were to fulfill them all, the entire world would be too vast to keep up with.

However, Zhou You's status within the aristocratic families rose significantly, and as a result, the Western branch of the Zhou clan overshadowed the Eastern branch.

Although the mute slave left with the sacred artifact 'Double Pupils' after the great battle, he still possessed two magical treasures: the Half-Saint Yin Blade and the Jade Cauldron Command Arrow. He was more than capable of protecting himself, and no one dared to make a move against him. On this day, Lian Feihong and his team held a meeting to discuss the powerful intervention of the Shishen Sect.

Da Xingchang, who had exclusive intelligence channels, explained, "In that battle, the Shakyamuni Sect used the Heavenly Palace's Hundred Great Secret Seals as assistance, and also used... well, sacred artifacts, to gather and annihilate the twenty-eight demonic lords in one place!"

The scene was quite spectacular, with countless meteorites falling from the sky. Each 'meteorite' was actually a secret imprint containing the essence of the martial arts of the ancients, and each strike seemed to be a rebirth of the ancients.

Furthermore, mysterious and unpredictable sacred artifacts roam the void, interfering with the arrangements and escape routes of the Demon Soldier Village, and blocking the Demon Soldier Lord's last escape route.

Each of the Five Heavenly Kings unleashed their signature skills, fighting against multiple opponents, breaking demonic soldiers and tearing apart their lords.

Unlike the Shi family, which was not united, the Shi Shen sect, although it also had its own divisions, was able to work together to accomplish great things. They mobilized resources and manpower, and all five Heavenly Kings were present, resulting in a great victory.

Why did the Buddhist sect want to exterminate the demonic warriors and their leaders?

Lian Feihong was completely baffled by this.

According to the aristocratic family's idea, even if all twenty-odd demon soldiers and powerful leaders on the Heart Demon Ring side were wiped out, it would only severely damage the Demon Soldier Village, but at least half of the powerful leaders from previous generations would still remain.

It merely delayed the birth of the Supreme Demon Weapon, rather than completely extinguishing the current possibility.

By taking such action, the Buddhist sect nipped the last vestige of hope in the bud. It will be at least a thousand or ten thousand years before the Demon Soldier Village can recover. By all accounts, this is helping the Demon Queen, saving her from the fate of being slain by the Supreme Demon Soldier.

Could it be that the Shakyamuni Cult has also been infiltrated by the Enchantress? Such a large-scale operation must be carried out by at least a high-ranking member at the Temple Master level.
"Absolutely impossible. The Shakyamuni Sect is a unified entity, claiming to be the Heavenly King who subdues demons. Do you really think they can only suppress demon soldiers? In my opinion, their real target is... the Enchantress!"

Zhou You shared his guess.

He obtained a wealth of clues from the Myriad Manifestations Seal. The Shakyamuni Sect had begun its planning long ago, and after succeeding the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint, it had many schemes and had backup plans in each hall.

It is even possible that the cult's actions were intended to guard against the Enchantress.

This conjecture sounds absurd: be wary of the Enchantress and also eliminate the demonic warriors and powerful lords who are most likely to threaten her.

However, Zhou You happened to know the inside story, and after merging with the sacred artifact 'Double Pupils', he further uncovered the secrets hidden within the Myriad Manifestations Seal.

The Martial Saint of All Things conceived the Supreme Demon Weapon and made arrangements for its future, but passed away before its birth, leaving his will to future generations.

This secret was inevitably leaked during the transmission process and was discovered by the Enchantress. Therefore, she secretly interfered and distorted some of the rules of the Supreme Demon Weapon.

This results in the fact that if the Supreme Demon Weapon is used properly, it can indeed kill the Enchantress. However, if it is used in a distorted and altered way, it will not only fail to eliminate the Enchantress, but will also help her break free from her shackles and transform into an even more terrifying higher being.

Its name is... Slaying Demons and Becoming a Monster.

The "demon" in Demon Soldier Village is merely a concept of power. However, if a demon were to shed its original form and evolve into a higher-level demon by using the Supreme Demon Soldier, the entire world would become its sacrifice.

To prevent the Enchantress from succeeding, the Buddhist sect went so far as to create a trap to kill twenty-eight powerful demon lords.

Since the Queen of Enchantress revealed that the numerous demon soldiers and powerful lords were besieging the Heart Demon Ring, she was clearly using them as pawns to eliminate potential enemies who posed a threat to her. Therefore, by extension, the remaining powerful lords who were not part of her plans might be pawns that the Queen of Enchantress had designated to 'slay the demon and become a demon'.

The Buddhist sect decided to wipe her out as well, even if they couldn't kill the Enchantress, they didn't want her to become an even more terrifying being.
