Chapter 1869 - 1873: Demon Clan, The Situation Is Settled!
Will something major happen within the Demon Clan?
Upon hearing this news, Qin Tian's spirit was shaken.
Xiao Zhuang said, "The information I received suggests that the Demon Clan Elders' Council supports Fei'er. In order to avoid greater casualties from an internal Demon Clan conflict, they exerted pressure on Yin Yue Demon Venerate. I suspect that Yin Yue Demon Venerate, facing threats both internal and external, might become desperate."
Qin Tian immediately sent someone to investigate what exactly was happening in the Demon Capital City's inner battle.
Soon, news arrived that a Demon Clan army within the inner city decided to surrender to Qin Tian and his group, but another troop refused to surrender, leading to a massive conflict.
Qin Tian arrived at the gate tower of the outer city of the Demon Capital City, watched the ongoing battle in the distance, and unhesitatingly ordered, "Gather Lin Yu's True Qi Artillery Troop, and notify Zuo Yuanhao to prepare for a simultaneous siege!"
"Okay!" Xiao Zhuang hurriedly ran down the city tower.
Qin Tian understood Liu Fei'er's concern about the innocent casualties within the Demon Clan, so he went to explain specifically, "If we don't seize the Demon Capital now, those ready to surrender inside will have died in vain. Moreover, if they die, Yin Yue Demon Venerate won't surrender due to his stubbornness, and we'll still attack the city. By then, there will be even more casualties."
Liu Fei'er's face showed some sadness upon hearing this, but she also understood that under the current circumstances, Yin Yue Demon Venerate would never surrender because surrendering would mean certain death for him.
"Alright, Brother Tian, proceed with the attack. I just hope to capture the Demon Capital soon to end this battle," Liu Fei'er said.
In fact, the siege didn't last long; by morning, the inner city was breached. Yin Yue Demon Venerate's subordinates were prepared to resist stubbornly. Duan Xiaodao led the Qin Family's troops directly into the Imperial Palace to search for Yin Yue Demon Venerate and Hong Qi.
These two culprits must be killed; Qin Tian promised to avenge Liu Fei'er.
Unfortunately, when Duan Xiaodao stormed the palace with his men, he didn't see any trace of Yin Yue Demon Venerate.
"Boss, I searched everywhere, but I didn't see Yin Yue Demon Venerate or anyone else," Duan Xiaodao was very disappointed.
Qin Tian immediately ordered Duan Xiaodao to join forces with Zuo Yuanhao's people to look for traces of Yin Yue Demon Venerate.
In the end, there was none.
"Ha, ran away?"
Qin Tian smirked, "Barking resistance only to flee? Leaving Demon Capital City in chaos, with countless casualties?"
Qin Tian immediately commanded Duan Xiaodao to send people out to search everywhere.
Meanwhile, this matter, the battle in Demon Capital City had persisted from night until dawn. Although the overall situation was set, there were still over 200,000 troops in Demon Capital City, and the fighting continued.
Boom!
Boom!
At dawn, before the morning sun rose, a sudden rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, its momentum stunning!
Immediately, a majestic figure appeared above the clouds in the sky!
Thunder Supreme hovered in the air, looking down at the battle within Demon Capital City, shaking his head and sighing, then shouted, "Stop it!"
His roar spread for miles, stunning everyone in Demon Capital City.
"I am an elder of the Demon Clan Elders' Council, Thunder Supreme! Cease all fighting!" Thunder Supreme shouted.
Seeing Thunder Supreme appear, Qin Tian and Liu Fei'er stepped out onto the front lines and immediately ordered their people to cease fire and maintain distance from the enemy.
Those remaining in the beleaguered Demon Capital City, numbering in the tens of thousands, also stopped fighting, gazing at Thunder Supreme in the sky.
"Yin Yue and Hong Qi have already fled; continuing this war serves no purpose! We are all Demon Clan people, stop the internecine slaughter! Princess Liu Fei'er is the only surviving daughter of the Demon Emperor; you should support her! Demon Capital garrison, put down your weapons and surrender!"
Thunder Supreme continued to look down from the sky, roaring.
Those Demon Clan soldiers always worshiped the Elders' Council as gods; upon seeing Thunder Supreme and hearing that Yin Yue Demon Venerate had fled, they naturally lost their will to fight and surrendered one by one.
"Thank you, Great-grandfather!"
Liu Fei'er expressed her gratitude to Thunder Supreme.
Thunder Supreme said, "Fei'er, I hope you can govern the Demon Clan well, so there won't be any more internal conflicts; the Demon Clan cannot afford chaos! This is the collective wish of the Elders' Council; do not let us down!"
Liu Fei'er kneeled before Thunder Supreme, bowing, "Great-grandfather, rest assured. Fei'er, too, is part of the Demon Clan. I swear I will ensure a happy life for the Demon Clan, and for this, I will give my utmost!"
"Rise, and tidy up the aftermath. The Demon Clan is now exhausted, and we are all saddened! All Demon Clan people, support your new Empress well! We, the Elders' Council, support her! Long live the Demon Clan!"
After shouting a few times, Thunder Supreme instantly disappeared from the sky.
Liu Fei'er promptly ordered the soldiers to clean up and regroup.
She didn't rush to pursue Yin Yue Demon Venerate's whereabouts but instead convened an emergency meeting in the Imperial Palace at noon.
This meeting did not include Qin Tian and others; it was an internal Demon Clan meeting.
During the meeting, Liu Fei'er laid out two major policies: one to continue to track and eliminate Yin Yue Demon Venerate's remaining forces; the other to swiftly stop the war, so the Demon Clan will no longer wage battles across the land, instead making peace with the Barbarian Clan and Demon Clan, forging friendships with the Tianyuan Dynasty, and staying mutual non-interference.
At the same time, Liu Fei'er appointed Shi He as Great General, and also conferred titles to several of Shi He's companions; of course, the State Preceptor remained the State Preceptor.
One night later, with Qin Tian's help, peace was restored in the Demon Capital, and most of the Demon Clan's territory had stabilized.
"Boss, our troops discovered a group that broke through sixteen cities in succession, continuing their escape eastward, most likely led by Yin Yue Demon Venerate!"
A day later, Xiao Zhuang obtained information about Yin Yue Demon Venerate's whereabouts.
This group is small, likely numbering only a hundred or two hundred people, but their fighting power is remarkable. Previously, Zuo Yuanhao had stationed garrisons in cities east of Demon Capital, each city with about a hundred troops maintaining order.
This group easily breached the defenses of these cities, heading east.
"Boss, Yin Yue Demon Venerate is likely fleeing eastward." Zuo Yuanhao also arrived to report to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian frowned, "Where could such a small number go?"
Zuo Yuanhao said, "There's only one possible place."
"Where?"
"Myriad Demon Mountain Range. Besides that place, there's nowhere else in the world that might harbor them," Zuo Yuanhao said, "On the contrary, if they reach Myriad Demon Mountain Range, killing Yin Yue Demon Venerate might be much more difficult in the future."
"Myriad Demon Mountain Range…" Uttering the name that instills fear in all Demon Clan members, Qin Tian also took a deep breath.
