OBS Chapter 279 Attack Plan
Chapter 279 Attack Plan
While everyone was engaged in heated discussion, in the distant, dark abyss, the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating. A thick, dark cloud, like a giant black curtain, hung heavily over the abyss, making the already gloomy abyss even more terrifying.
The Dark Abyss is located at the southernmost tip of the Azure Cloud Continent, a highly unique and mysterious region. It is like a colossal, unhealable wound on the earth, deep and vast, its exact size unknown to anyone, exceeding the limits of human cognition and exploration.
This abyss is shrouded in darkness year-round, with sunlight almost unable to reach it. The entire area is shrouded in eternal darkness, making the environment extremely harsh.
Moreover, this place is filled with various dangerous auras and energy fluctuations, making it a forbidden zone for human survival.
However, due to their unique attributes, demons are able to survive in the dark abyss.
However, while they could adapt to the darkness, demonic energy, and various treacherous conditions, they were not content to live in the Dark Abyss. The continent's abundant resources, vast land, and suitable environment held immense appeal for them.
This is also one of the main reasons why they have always attempted to conquer the continent. They yearn to escape the dark abyss, plunder the continent's resources, expand their sphere of influence, and achieve dominance over the entire Qingyun Continent.
Recently, due to the strong counterattack of the righteous forces, the demon race has suffered repeated defeats and is now retreating back to the abyss in a sorry state.
At this moment, in the Demon Clan's main hall within the abyss, the Demon Clan's high-ranking officials gathered together, each with a gloomy expression and eyes filled with resentment and anger.
The newly appointed Demon Lord sat high on his throne. He was burly and exuded a powerful and evil aura. The patterns on his face shimmered with an eerie light in the darkness.
He slammed his fist on the armrest of the throne and roared angrily, "I never expected those righteous ants to dare to launch a preemptive attack, causing us to suffer such a great loss! When have we demons ever been so humiliated?"
A hunched demon elder with a wrinkled face stepped forward, his voice sharp and piercing.
"My Lord Demon Lord, those ants only managed to gain a slight advantage by taking advantage of our unpreparedness. Our demon race has a profound foundation and is protected by the Demon God. How can we let this go so easily? We must strike again, wipe out those ants without leaving a single one alive, and retake the continent!"
"That's right! We can't let this go!" Another demon general waved his fist and shouted, "Last time we were just careless for a moment, but this time we've prepared carefully and will definitely show them the power of the demon race!"
Other high-ranking demons echoed this sentiment, each one eager to return to the continent and unleash a bloody massacre.
However, at this moment, a calm demon strategist frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said, "Demon Lord, those ants have now united, and their strength should not be underestimated. If we attack rashly, I'm afraid we will once again find ourselves on the defensive."
These words, which seemed to diminish their own prestige, instantly drew the ire of a short-tempered demon general. "What do you mean by that? Do you think we're no match for those ants? Don't forget, we've already conquered half the continent!"
Inside the hall, half the people nodded frequently and began to discuss among themselves. In their minds, the demons were invincible, and this defeat was merely due to carelessness.
Hearing the buzzing noise, the newly appointed Demon Lord slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne and shouted, "Quiet down, all of you!"
Once everyone was stunned by the sudden noise and fell silent, the Demon Lord turned to the strategist who had spoken earlier and asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
The strategist, who had remained calm despite being mocked by the crowd, finally spoke up when the Demon Lord asked his question.
"In my opinion, we should first strengthen our defenses within the abyss and accumulate strength. At the same time, we should closely monitor the movements of the human race and find their weaknesses. When the time is right, we can launch a decisive attack and surely achieve a great victory."
The Demon Lord listened to the strategist's words and pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He knew that the strategist was right. The Demon Clan had just suffered a defeat and their morale was low, while the enemy had united and were at the height of their power. If they were to attack rashly at this time, it would indeed be very risky. However, the anger in his heart was hard to quell.
"Hmph, then let's do as you say for now!" The Demon Lord finally nodded. "But we can't wait too long. The Demon God is about to break free from his seal, and we must prepare before then to clear the obstacles for his arrival!"
The demon leaders accepted the orders and then dispersed to prepare for the next operation.
Meanwhile, the righteous people in Fulian City also discussed a plan to attack the Dark Abyss and ultimately decided to launch an attack on the Dark Abyss in three routes.
Prior to this, they had learned about the basic situation of the Dark Abyss from the captured demon soldiers.
Although the Dark Abyss is shrouded in darkness year-round, it is not barren; rather, it possesses its own ecosystem. Mountains and rivers are not lacking in its landscape, but everything here is deathly still and devoid of life.
Of the three armies, the eastern army, led by the sect leader of the Lingjian Sect, silently entered the demon settlement along the mountain range at the edge of the abyss.
Under the command of the Valley Master of Tingyin Valley, the Western Route Army quietly advanced along the river in the abyss.
The central army, led by Venerable Lingyun, advanced directly towards the core area of the Dark Abyss.
Meanwhile, Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping, acting as a surprise force, were to travel under the cover of the three armies to the ancient demon god's sealed land to find an opportunity to reinforce the seal.
The righteous cultivators acted silently, and the demons never expected that the humans would dare to come to their doorstep.
In the eyes of the demons, humans have always been cowardly and weak. The harsh environment of the abyss, filled with dense and deadly demonic energy, is something humans simply cannot withstand, let alone take the initiative to attack.
However, they never expected that this time, the righteous cultivators had a solution. The key to all of this was thanks to Lin Shushu.
When Lin Shushu was cultivating in the Spirit Pool of the Qingyun Sect, she was inspired by the pure spiritual energy contained in the pool water. The spiritual energy of the Spirit Pool could nourish the body and purify impurities, so could she also find a way to combat the demonic energy that is the complete opposite of spiritual energy?
Later, she fortuitously obtained a secret technique from the ancient ruins she stored in her spatial dimension. After experimentation, Lin Shushu successfully developed a miraculous elixir—the Demon-Exorcising Pill.
This demon-repelling pill is pale gold in color, with a faint halo around its surface, and emits a strange yet refreshing fragrance. It can easily remove ordinary demonic energy, unless it's an apocalyptic demonic energy released by a demon god himself.
She knew she couldn't possibly refine enough pills for everyone by herself, so she generously shared the secret formula.
The Pavilion Master of the Nine Medicine Pavilion was overjoyed and personally led the elite pharmacists in the pavilion to work with Lin Shushu in refining the pills. They finally produced enough Demon-Exorcising Pills for everyone to use in a short period of time.
