Sage Cai was holding the fort in Holy City, receiving information from every location to grasp the overall war situation.
Everything regarding personnel command and control was directed by him.
This was mostly due to his divination ability, that could aid him to a certain extent to help plan the best approach possible.
Plant Sage said, “Those Demon Emperors have always been warlike, they have long been out of patience after so many years of peace. The truce that was made that time was also a verbal agreement with no binding power. However, now that humanity has lost so many excellent elites, it is no longer possible to stop. Spirit Treasure Continent has belonged to humankind since ancient times, how can we allow those barbaric demons to rule it?”
At the end of his words, the usually amiable Plant Sage displayed a cruel viciousness.
If the Half-Sages were already thinking as such, there was nothing else to add for the rest of humanity.
Now, whether you want to or not, you must fight.
Swore to fight the demons to death!

Huan Qing Yan, Ji Mo Ya and the rest advanced one step at a time while following the traces.
They had unknowingly advanced several hundred miles, the further they travelled, the more remote it became.
They were now well within the Demon Lands, yet they saw fewer demons than before. They guessed that the demons could have gathered and left for war.
That was why Ji Mo Ya was able to swiftly deal with the demons they encountered without encountering further mishaps.
“Something’s not right! There’s some unique and mysterious energy coming from the front. Everyone, let’s stop for a moment.” Ji Mo Ya suddenly said.
Everyone stopped.
Huan Qing Yan asked, “What is it? Where? How come I cannot sense anything?”
“That’s right, there is nothing at all? What are you fussing about, giving me a scare… Wait, seems to be a formation there.” Shang Qiu Meng Qian immediately supported Huan Qing Yan but he changed his words midway.
Tuoba Yan blinked, “There was indeed an extremely covert formation about ten miles in front. We might have walked straight into the formation if we did not pay attention and then suffer unknown consequences.”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo softly said, “Cousin, you are so powerful.”
Ji Mo Ya then looked over through the corner of his eye, “Lady Mu Rong, I hope you can change that form of address. I am no longer related to your Mu Rong Clan.”
Mu Rong Xin Nuo displayed a pitiful look, “I understand, Young Master Ya.”
At that time, a cry of joy came from the front.
“Everyone! There are signs of fighting over here, there are also some words. Maybe left by Crazy Sage…“
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Min Xie Ran.
Being an inquisitive person who acts on his curiosity, he would often activate his stealth spirit treasure and suddenly disappear. It was likely that he had secretly sneaked over to the edge of the formation the moment he heard of it.
Everyone was surprised, was Crazy Sage really trapped within this mysterious formation?
Shang Qiu Meng Qian was the most quick-witted amongst them and said, “Be careful everyone. A formation that can trap Crazy Sage is undoubtedly not simple! We cannot go over together, some of us need to remain here.”
Nan Gong Bei Chen nodded, “The females should stay, let the guys head over to take a look.”
“Okay. Jia Bao, stay here with Lady Mu Rong.” Huan Qing Yan did not see herself as part of the female group.
Ji Mo Ya caressed Huan Qing Yan’s head adoringly and said, “All of you will remain here. I will be enough.”
After he spoke, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian looked at that spot and shouted, “Ji Mo Ya, what’s the meaning of this? Are you secretly calling us women?”
Huan Qing Yan was starting to have a slight headache, “Young Master Shang Qiu, you are overthinking.”
“Qing Qing, no matter how much I overthink, it is all for you.”
