Human Clan Defender-Chapter 753 - s 85 to 88: Heaven and Earth Profound Technique, They Have Arrived! (Four in One - Seeking Monthly Votes)_7

After a hushed whisper, the Barbarian God's figure, seated upon the throne, abruptly vanished.

「——」

"Defender Shen has arrived!"

In the Imperial Study, Gu Xing had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the visitor, his tense heart settled somewhat.

"I won't beat around the bush. I presume Defender Shen has also seen the celestial phenomenon outside. Over three hundred years ago, when the Demon Evil Clan arrived, a similar celestial sign appeared. Now, after more than three hundred years, the phenomenon has reappeared. I suspect the Demon Evil Clan is coming once again. How does Defender Shen view this matter?"

He cut straight to the point, laying out the situation before Shen Changqing could speak.

Clearly, the celestial anomalies had unsettled Gu Xing considerably.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing's expression grew grave. "I understand Your Majesty's concerns, but normally, the Demon Evil Clan should not be invading at this time. The Seal Strength has about twenty years remaining. Before it shatters, Demon Gods cannot enter this world. If any Demon Evil do come, their power will be below that of a Demon God. In that case, Your Majesty need not worry excessively."

As long as a Demon God didn't arrive, he was confident he could deal with it.

Gu Xing's expression relaxed slightly. Although Shen Changqing had only said a few words, Gu Xing felt as if he had taken a reassuring pill. As long as the Great Qin Defender remained calm, the problem they faced was still manageable.

"Moreover, Great Qin has now unified the Human Clan, and our strength has increased, not decreased. Our current power is far greater than when the Human Clan was fragmented, with forces scattered and fighting their own battles. Now that the Human Clan is united, our power has become concentrated."

Shen Changqing explained further.

"On the surface, unifying the Human Clan might not seem to have changed its overall strength compared to before. However, strength isn't solely reflected in the number of powerful individuals; mentality is also a crucial factor. While the number of powerful individuals in the Human Clan remains the same, unity at least ensures a consistent approach to certain matters. Consequently, their strength has invisibly increased significantly."

Gu Xing nodded, then asked, "What are Defender Shen's plans?"

"If the Demon Evil Clan is to enter from Outer Heaven, they must use the Heaven and Earth Passage. I will depart immediately and do my utmost to intercept all those Demon Evil. However, I cannot guarantee one hundred percent success. Should any Demon Evil infiltrate the Human Clan, Great Qin must ensure they are suppressed immediately. This, however, will require Your Majesty's command."

After Shen Changqing finished, he paused briefly before continuing, "Regarding the current natural disasters, we must also dispatch aid. We must prevent significant losses, as that would be detrimental to Great Qin's stability. Furthermore, excessive civilian casualties could trigger further natural disasters. Therefore, besides suppressing any Demon Evil entering Human Clan territory, the Imperial Court must also prioritize disaster relief to minimize casualties as much as possible."

With the Demon Evil Clan's arrival, there was little the Human Clan could truly do.

Shen Changqing believed Gu Xing already knew what needed to be done, even without him saying it. But this was no time for subtleties; he had to speak plainly.

Gu Xing's face was solemn. "Rest assured, you can leave the Human Clan's internal affairs to Great Qin. However, you must also be careful. If a task proves impossible, do not force it. If anything happens to Defender Shen, it would be a catastrophic blow for Great Qin."

"I understand."

Shen Changqing nodded, then turned to look outside.

"I can already feel a powerful Yin Evil Aura gradually approaching. Intercepting the Demon Evil is imperative. The remaining decisions are for Your Majesty to make!"

With that said, Shen Changqing tore open space and vanished into the rift. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Gazing at the rapidly healing rift in space and the terrifying darkness beyond, Gu Xing bellowed, "Attendants!"

The door to the Imperial Study opened.

Wu Gan walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Convene the court assembly at once."

「——」

In Qingming, an intensely chilling aura leaked from a colorful vortex, encasing the surrounding space in a layer of frost. The once rampant and violent Heaven and Earth Gang Wind froze upon contact with this frost.

Suddenly, the void silently tore apart.

A sacred and majestic presence burst forth. All the frost and the Yin Evil Aura were shattered and dispersed by this presence.

The Barbarian God stood with his hands behind his back, golden eyes fixed on the passage entrance, his calmness terrifying.

They're almost here!

He could feel it. That terrifying Yin Evil Aura was approaching at an astonishing speed. In another quarter of an hour, the Demon Evil within would emerge.

The Barbarian God immediately calmed his mind, silently channeling his power, adjusting his state to the peak he could currently achieve, and then waited quietly.

As soon as the Demon Evil emerged, they would undoubtedly face his thunderous strike.

Time ticked away.

The once-chaotic space suddenly tore open again.

Sensing a familiar aura, the Barbarian God turned his head and saw a figure emerge from the spatial tear.

"It's you!"

Seeing the newcomer, his face showed a touch of surprise, but he quickly recovered. Given the commotion, it would be truly strange if the other party, also a powerful expert of the Human Clan, didn't appear here.

"So the Barbarian God is also here."

Shen Changqing likewise saw the Barbarian God. He hadn't expected the other to arrive before him.

Hearing this, the Barbarian God calmly said, "Your arrival is timely. Powerful beings from the Demon Evil Clan are approaching, and I alone lack absolute confidence in dealing with them. With you here, the Human Clan's chances of victory increase."

Noting the Barbarian God's grave tone, Shen Changqing's expression remained unchanged. "Barbarian God, how strong do you believe the approaching Demon Evil will be?"

The Barbarian God glanced at him briefly before replying, "The Seal Strength still holds, so Demon Gods cannot enter this world. The strongest Demon Evil arriving should be at the Half-Step Demon God level. The Demon Evil who came last time were merely scouts. Those arriving this time will definitely not be simple. Even if the strongest among them are only Half-Step Demon Gods, if they come in large numbers, it will still be significant trouble. They are almost here. Prepare yourself!"

Although the Heaven and Earth Passage acted as a barrier, and he could sense the potent Yin Evil Aura, the Barbarian God couldn't ascertain the exact situation.

Regardless, the Demon Evil arriving this time would certainly not be easy to deal with.

Shen Changqing nodded. What the Barbarian God said was largely what he had expected.

However, Shen Changqing wasn't as concerned as the Barbarian God. With his current strength, Half-Step Demon Gods shouldn't pose too much of a problem. The only real issue was their numbers. If too many Half-Step Demon Gods appeared, he might not be able to handle them all. Ultimately, this was because he hadn't truly broken through yet. If he could formally enter the Cave Heaven Realm, he would be far less worried. As it stood, being stuck at Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection, the gap between his current state and the Cave Heaven Realm was presumably significant.

Afterward, neither spoke, both focusing their gaze on the colorful vortex before them.

As time passed, the oppressive Yin Evil Aura grew increasingly intense.

Finally, the aura intensified to a critical point. An icy chill, cold enough to freeze a Grandmaster's Qi and Blood, erupted as if breaking through some barrier.

Killing intent flared in the Barbarian God's golden eyes. "They're here!"
