803 The Flames of War
In a dark surrounding, a brawny figure was sitting cross-legged, and a faint crimson sheen was revolving over his figure, giving off a nefarious eerie aura.
All of a sudden, a pair of maliciously cold eyes sprang open, and a husky voice sounded, “What is it?”
Just as his grouchy voice trailed off, multiple rune symbols shone in front of him, and a respectful old voice sounded with a hint of ecstasy, “Lord Nightmare Wrath, we just received words from Dark Nightmare Wind. The situation has taken a completely unexpected turn, and it appears the Grand Elder has done something amazing.

“We should leave right now, and I’ll explain everything on our way. If what Dark Nightmare Wind had said is true and time is of the essence!”
Nightmare Wrath was none other than the Sect Leader of Dark Nightmare Sect and the most heinous assassin and one of the most feared existents of the Human Race.
“Is that a fact? How is my little girl?” Nightmare Wrath’s grouchy voice contained a rare hint of gentleness, as if he cared more about his daughter than anything else!

On the side of the Soul Flame Sect, the Sect Patriarch also received the same summoning message as the Nightmare Wrath and a startling report from his sect representative, Rudolph, present in the entourage of Fiery Hell Secret Realm.
Not just Dark Nightmare or Soul Flame, but even the Beast Tamer and Yin Flower Sects also received the urgent secret summoning, and no one dared to miss this out as they already knew a massive storm was brewing and the humans were going to be the center of it all!

On the surface, the Azure Wind Continent was the same. But the upper echelon of the Five Ancient Sects knew that the mighty figures of their race were suddenly moving and forces were being gathered.
However, just three days after this sudden movement started, another massive development took place. The entire Allied forces of Demons and Devils instated in the Azure Wind Continent suddenly made a massive retreat.
In response, the humans launch a massive-scale attack on those forces as if they wanted to kill them all, and anyone who participates would get massive merits and even a chance to enter the five sects if they accumulated enough merit points.
The entire royal lands suddenly plunged into war with their own allies, and no one knew what the reason was. But by the ferocity shown by the humans, it was quite clear they wanted to really kill all the forces on their continent and didn’t want to let them retreat.

In a hidden place, Leona and Blood Devil Duke were looking at a projection, and for some reason, both of their auras were extremely chaotic and unstable.
The reason for their sorry states was very simple. It was because of the Azure Patriarch’s sudden full-force attack. Out of the four, only these two managed to flee, but they both had to pay a terrible price and used almost all of their trump cards.
If they both didn’t have trump cards left behind by their ancestors, they both would’ve perished under that deadly formation.
Nevertheless, after they escaped, they didn’t sit still and contact their forces so they could retreat at full speed before the humans stabbed them in the back. But alas, the humans reacted too quickly, and now their men were dying from all fronts.
“Did you succeed in contacting the Demon Ancestor?” The Blood Devil Duke asked in a horse voice.
After nearly dying, he and Leona stick together since both of them have a relationship with their race ancestors, and they also don’t have a choice since going sole in this position will do nothing but do the human a favor.
“No, just like you, I can’t reach Master or My Father. In fact, I can’t reach anyone just like on your side. We should assume worse now, Dream Shatter Ancestor had played us all like a fiddle, and our top forces might be in a deadly situation.
“On the other hand, the forces they left here are not enough to cope with the human’s continuous onslaught. They had already plundered or destroyed our ships, and now we are trapped here.
“I can’t believe we all fall for this, and now, with our top forces missing, we are all playing on equal grounds with the humans!” Leona’s voice was filled with killing intent and humiliation as she was still in disbelief that the humans tricked the top three races so easily.
Now, their top forces’ situation was unknown, and the reinforcement from their continent will take too long to reach this place. By the time they’ll have arrived, the humans would be well-prepared.
This was the reason no one wanted to invade each other’s continent because it was simply too massive of an endeavor, not to mention the brunt of precious resources.
However, now that the humans have acquired all the resources of the Fiery Hell Realm and those eighth realm cultivation techniques, they can’t sit still and watch while the humans break into the eighth realm and deal with them!
It was either a do-or-die situation for them, not only for the demon or devil but all the other nine races.
Both Leona and Blood Devil Duke understood this point too well, so they still have hope.
“Where is Elven Queen?” The Blood Devil Duke asked darkly. He knew the Elven Queen was in charge of Alina’s security, but does it matter now? If anything, they needed the Elven Queen as she would be a massive help to control the Elven race.
Leona replied with a hint of frustration, “Do you think I have time to look for her while barely escaping myself? But I’m pretty sure the humans won’t let her live much longer as they are no longer the Elven Queen nor the Hunter Princess. If anything, they are now nothing but hostages to threaten their races!”
