I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 504: Reinforcements Have Arrived

"I've never eaten roast pork."

The vertical pupils of the Strange Serpent Demon Lord seemed to glow with green light.

"I've never had snake soup before."

The fiery boar demon lord's face turned red again.

After a long while, both demon lords sighed in unison and then slunk away.

It seems that facing Su Jinxi is certain death, and facing the Demon Emperor is also certain death. However, if His Majesty were to show mercy and understand them, they might still have a chance to survive.

But if he were to face Su Jinxi and actually start a fight, he would definitely have no chance of survival.

"Let's go back. We hope His Majesty will show mercy and believe us..."

The Serpent Demon Lord and the Fierce Pig Demon Lord exchanged a glance and said helplessly at the same time.

We had no choice but to head back home.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the headquarters of the Eastern Frontier Alliance, Xingluo Daoren, the leader of the Eastern Frontier Alliance at the fourth level of the Saint Realm, felt much more at ease as he looked at the hundreds of shuttle spirit ships that had come from afar.

The war has been raging for months, and he, as the leader of the alliance, has never stopped seeking help from the other four major regions.

And now, Dongjiang has finally received the help it has been waiting for!

"There is still hope for our Eastern Frontier..."

As Xingluo Daoist watched the spirit boat land in the headquarters square, he stroked his beard, his face beaming with excitement.

Xingluo Daoren's position as alliance leader was not actually comfortable. After all, in order to ensure that this Eastern Frontier Alliance, which was forcibly cobbled together in times of crisis, would not at least avoid making a fool of itself by prioritizing internal stability over external threats in order to secure the position of "alliance leader," this somewhat famous reclusive cultivator was pulled into this position.

After nearly a thousand years of dedicated cultivation, Daoist Xingluo finally achieved enlightenment just before his lifespan was about to end, and entered the third level of the Supreme Saint stage!

He hadn't originally planned to end his seclusion and try to pursue a higher realm... but the demon race attacked. Although he wasn't a man of great ambition who cared about the world, he didn't want to see the Eastern Frontier fall into disarray and suffer immense loss of life.

then.

Xingluo Daoren became the leader of the alliance, serving as a "mediator" for the various extraordinary forces within the alliance.

But he knew he simply didn't have the skill to command a large force, nor was he a qualified commander.

This life is all about cultivation, cultivation, and more cultivation. Sometimes, when I go into seclusion, I observe the stars at night and ponder the mysteries of the universe. Before I know it, decades have passed.

Now I sit in the position of the leader of this alliance.

At most, it prevented the extraordinary forces within the Eastern Frontier Alliance from focusing their attention on vying for this position.

He can't do anything else.

He can go to the front lines to kill the demons, but if he makes a move, the supreme old demons on the demon side will definitely make a move as well, and the great war will enter the next most insane and crucial stage - the final battle!

However, it is not yet time for a decisive battle, because the Eastern Frontier Alliance does not have the resources to fight a decisive battle with the demon army.

The Eastern Frontier alone cannot compete with the demon army in terms of Mahayana and Saint-level combat power.

Without reinforcements, Dongjiang will never be able to truly escape its predicament!

But reinforcements still arrived.

"What kind of experts have come from the other four domains?" Xingluo Daoist asked the Alliance Elder beside him.

“The three great divine palaces, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, the Xuanji Valley, the Central Continent Dynasty, and the Zhenyuan Palace have all sent a Supreme Saint, and each of them has two or three Mahayana stage cultivators accompanying them... There are also some younger generation members. It seems that they want to take this opportunity to let those geniuses hone their skills.”

Offering replied.

Apart from the most famous extraordinary forces, the remaining forces basically only sent one Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending cultivator. Although there weren't many, they were still useful.

As long as they didn't offer any support other than help, they are already very grateful.

"Their arrival means that the Eastern Frontier is saved!" Daoist Xingluo nodded. "Give them the orders. The current situation needs to be discussed at the opening meeting."

"Yes."

The alliance's offering responded with a sound of agreement.

...Inside the main hall.

Xingluo Daoist sat at the head of the table, and the leaders of the major forces within the Eastern Frontier had also taken their seats. Below them, the leaders of the reinforcements from the four major domains were all present.

"Welcome everyone. At this critical time for the Eastern Frontier, I won't waste any more pleasantries."

Xingluo Daoist stood up, clasped his hands in greeting to those below, and said loudly, "With everyone's help, we can fight against the demon scourge and restore peace and tranquility to the Eastern Frontier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone below immediately spoke up.

"What is the current situation in the Eastern Frontier?"

The one who spoke was the Iron Dragon War General from the Central Plains Dynasty, a Saint of the Second Level.

"It's not very good. As you all probably already know, the demon army has learned military formation techniques from somewhere. They are quite advanced and mysterious. Our Eastern Frontier lacks an elite army like the Central Plains Dynasty, so it's really difficult for us to deal with them." Xingluo Daoist used his Dao power to condense a map of the Eastern Frontier's terrain and then pointed out the battle line that now spans the entire Eastern Frontier.

"Currently, the invasion of the demon army has been stopped outside this battle line. Their attack is relentless, and every day thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators in our Eastern Frontier are dying!"

Upon hearing this, Iron Dragon Warrior nodded.

He was somewhat interested in the demon race's military formations and techniques.

Since we've brought our troops here, our purpose is to test our strength.

"I've heard that powerful demons of the demon race are now appearing in groups to ambush and kill us high-level cultivators?"

The question was asked by Granny Maple of Xuanji Valley.

"Yes, the Eastern Frontier Alliance was unaware of this beforehand, and as a result, within just one month, ten Mahayana cultivators died, and six forces collapsed as a result..."

Even now, Xingluo Daoren remains deeply resentful about the matter.

Now, the high-level cultivators of the Eastern Frontier Alliance have all chosen to move in groups and are no longer being ambushed and killed alone. But the Eastern Frontier Alliance can truly be described as having a disastrous start!

Ten Mahayana cultivators were gone just like that, most of whom were the backbone of a faction, the pillars of the organization, and then they were gone!

Thinking of this, Xingluo Daoist felt his heart bleed.

"...I understand."

Grandma Maple sighed.

"There's one more thing I'd like to mention here as well."

Xingluo Daoist's eyes finally turned solemn.

"The Blood Soul Holy Sect seems to have laid down more than a dozen extremely sinister blood arrays within my Eastern Frontier! Their motives and purposes are unclear. Does anyone know what has happened to the Blood Soul Holy Sect?"

A few days ago, the Valley Master of Qianyin Valley reported something to him.

It's something whose severity is unknown, but it sounds incredibly chilling. The Blood Soul Holy Sect seems to be doing some shady business on the Eastern Frontier.

Xingluo Daoist was aware of this force, which is why he was particularly worried.

His biggest worry was that, at this time, there might still be human forces planning to betray the Eastern Frontier for some purpose...

The consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

Once their fighting spirit wavers, the demon army will likely be unstoppable.

"This... I'm afraid we'll have to ask Granny Maple of Xuanji Valley."

Iron Dragon Warrior looked at Granny Maple.

But the latter simply shook her head: "I don't know either. It seems they have closed their mountain gates and refused to see guests for the past few months. It's hard to say what has happened."

Just then, a retainer burst in, exclaiming in alarm, "Alliance Leader! The battle lines have been breached by the demon race!"
