"Among the people here this time, is there a Snow Mountain Wolf?" Zhou Leng shook the demonized watch.

Before coming in, the network was anonymous and hidden, but Snow Mountain Wolf didn't hide and was discovered nearby.

"Yes."

"Call him here. I will issue orders as a High Priest and require you to stay here. Aiden may not defy my orders."

"You'd better use the magic transformation ring to become a Dragon Descendant, only then Aiden might believe you."

"Dragon Descendant..." Zhou Leng used the magic transformation ring and slowly transformed himself into a Dragon Descendant.

His head grew two horns, his skin turned slightly red, his eyes changed from black round pupils to golden vertical pupils, and thin scales appeared on his neck.

His face was identical to Guan Canglong's.

"Yes, just like that. Anyway, your external identity is Guan Canglong. Deep Dark Fury once said Guan Canglong is also a dragon," Jade Wings said.

"However, I don't plan to meet Aiden because once he learns about the counterattack, it'll be very disadvantageous for us," Zhou Leng said.

"He might not be willing to turn against you for the Magic Candle Fire either."

"Go and find Snow Mountain Wolf."

"Alright."

Jade Wings went out and soon returned with Snow Mountain Wolf, closing the door behind.

Zhou Leng lifted the illusion of the Dragon Descendant.

Snow Mountain Wolf immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, esteemed High Priest."

"The reason I called you here is to issue orders from the Ice Snow Divine Sect's High Priest, for you to guard this inn and refrain from taking any action, no matter what happens, including the Mad Prince Aiden."

Snow Mountain Wolf hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, you need to personally order Aiden."

"Tell him there's a Grandmaster watching him secretly. A High Priest is also here," Zhou Leng said, taking out his High Priest Badge and throwing it to Snow Mountain Wolf.

"From now on, you're the leader of this team. If he wants to leave the inn, take the people away and refuse to cooperate," Zhou Leng said.

Snow Mountain Wolf looked at the badge and smiled, saying, "With this token, all Divine Sect personnel will listen to me, not him. Moreover, he's always trying to seek a higher position within the Ice Snow Divine Sect, aiming for Intermediate Priest, so he definitely wouldn't dare offend a High Priest."

"I won't show up, making him even less likely to act rashly," Zhou Leng said.

"Yes, he's crazy and suspicious. Whatever you're planning to do next, as long as it doesn't threaten him, he'll sit quietly in the inn. He appears mad but is actually very smart," Snow Mountain Wolf said.

Zhou Leng said, "Next, we're going to launch a retaliation against the Candleholders. Rest assured, I'll instruct everyone not to attack you two and the Ice Snow Divine Sect members."

"That's good, that's good," Jade Wings said.

Snow Mountain Wolf whispered, "Sir, do you need us to do anything for you?"

Jade Wings took three steps back.

Zhou Leng said, "Basically, there's not much. We're already prepared. However, there aren't many single-use demon spirit balls that can set fires. Do you have any?"

"Yes, yes, yes, and some that can release poison," Jade Wings, worried that Zhou Leng might ask for help, hurriedly handed over more than ten demon spirit balls.

They're simple and easy to use; just press the button and throw them.

"I also have ten or so," Snow Mountain Wolf generously offered.

Zhou Leng took them and looked at Jade Wings, asking, "The demons here won't attack you, right?"

"Would they dare! I told them I'm the brother of Deep Dark Fury when I arrived!" Jade Wings said.

Zhou Leng paused, then said, "You should know Deep Dark Fury is only six years old."

"I'm five and a half," Jade Wings promptly replied.

"You're shameless."

"You're the High Priest; everything you say is right," Jade Wings said indifferently.

Zhou Leng said, "The demons won't kill you, and we human martial artists won't either, so you're safe. Here's the plan: you protect me. If a master comes, block them so I can escape."

"Protect you? Are you crazy! Madder than the Mad Prince. Mad King Zhou Leng!" Jade Wings quickly retreated to the corner.

Zhou Leng said, "I'll give you money."

"No."

"My main goal is to loot the demons. With so much treasure, will you just watch it slip away?"

"Treasure is not more important than life."

"Do you still want the dragon corpse of the Jade Crown?"

"Not anymore," Jade Wings said decisively.

Zhou Leng glanced at Snow Mountain Wolf, who shrugged helplessly.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Just keep an eye on Aiden. If Aiden ends up assisting the demons, Chen Fenghu will kill you all."

Jade Wings' eyes flickered, and he asked, "Should I release poison to knock Aiden out?"

"I support you," Zhou Leng said.

Jade Wings contemplated, then said, "After you leave, I'll cast a spell to produce a green light around the inn, isolating inside from outside. You don't come in, and we won't go out. Snow Mountain Wolf and I will stop Aiden; if he wants to die, he can die, but he shouldn't cause trouble for me."

Zhou Leng discussed matters with the two for a while longer, leaving the High Priest Badge and departing as Rusted Iron General.

Snow Mountain Wolf said, "Jade Wings, you're really not tempted by the city's treasure, but I am."

Jade Wings snorted coldly, "During the youth battle, I didn't want anything, so would I care about treasure now?"

"That's different. Youth battles are life and death, too dangerous. Here, neither side will attack you, so it's safe. What are you afraid of?"

"True... then summon some goblins to help scour around."

"Goblins are too weak, just a bunch of green-skinned fools. Summon some stronger servants," Snow Mountain Wolf said.

"That's not gonna work, what if a too powerful servant betrays me? Let's stick with goblins. Hmm... I still need to use poison..."

Zhou Leng found Gao Yunbo, and the two of them left the city.

On the way, Zhou Leng concealed key information to ensure that Mad Prince Aiden would not take action.

Gao Yunbo thought for a moment and said, "I've met Aiden. Their family is like a pack of wild dogs, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Use your Grandmaster and High Priest status to pressure him, he won't dare to move an inch. Before the battle starts, I'll send someone to deliver a letter to him, telling him not to make a move, or we'll report him for colluding with the Demon Purgatory and giant insects, which will make him wary."

"Won't reporting be useless?"

"Of course, the elites of all countries are trading under the table, but if we really report it, he'll still be under pressure. After all, he's only the first in line, not the patriarch yet. A multi-pronged strategy will probably keep him from making a move. If he really wants to take action, we can just send a signal, and call the brigadier general to punch him out."

"Whenever you guys in the Martial Arts Brigade mention Chen Shouhu, you love to say punch out."

"That's our brigadier general's catchphrase. Besides, it's our Martial Arts Brigade now; you're an honorary major now, Major Zhou."

"No one told me that."

"There's a delay with updates in Martial Arts City. Once we return to the Shuizhou base, your status will be updated. Come on, let's go back and revise the plan."

With the convoy issue resolved, everything became simpler.

Most of the people stayed outside, waiting for the signal.

The rest split into three groups.

Gao Yunbo personally led an attack on the teleportation array, then assailed the City Lord's Mansion.

Another Muscle Innate led the charge against the City Defense Army.

Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin teamed up to wreak havoc in the city.

Pairing up, not even True Liquid Innate or Blood Shocking Innate could handle them, let alone a regular Bone Forger Innate.

The three groups entered in three waves.

Zhou Leng continued his transformation into the Rusted Iron General, while Mountain and River Origin put some face paint on, painting a black and white ghost face, and swaggered into the city.

Along the way, demons politely gave way to Mountain and River Origin, including the city-guarding demon soldiers.

The Demon Purgatory also has a Demon Giant Race, typical high-level demons, running rampant.

The two of them headed to the bustling demon market, strolling as they waited for news.

After a while, Mountain and River Origin whispered, "That medicinal fruit shop has good stuff, let's start our operation there."

Zhou Leng glanced at Mountain and River Origin, surprised that this usually honest guy was so naturally at ease with robbery.

On second thought, it made sense. The Giant Race was known for their brute nature; if they dared to rob Giant Dragons, why would they care about mere demons?

Moreover, demons invading the Human Race's world were much more brutal than mere robbery.

In the forty-plus years since the world war began, demons have abducted at least five billion humans.

"Alright!" Zhou Leng went with the flow.

The two toured the demon market, marking important stores.

Mountain and River Origin discreetly pointed out a few shops and said, "These shops seem to be chains owned by high-level demons; best not to provoke them, they can't be messed with."

Zhou Leng hadn't expected this guy to be so experienced in robbery.

They walked back and forth a few times, checking things out, even pretending to be herbalists to take a look at the backroom of the medicinal fruit store, quickly finalizing an initial robbery route.

Suddenly, a huge explosion came from the direction of the teleportation array, followed by piercing sirens echoing.

Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin did not act immediately but looked towards the teleportation array.

If the sabotage failed and triggered a demon counterattack, a fireworks signal would be released.

Three seconds passed, and there was no fireworks signal.

Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin exchanged a glance.

The sabotage of the teleportation array was successful.

Mountain and River Origin lunged into a herb shop like an arrow, his right hand spread out like a stone tablet, slamming onto a demon clerk's head.

Puff.

The demon, along with its body, was smashed into a bloody pulp.

Zhou Leng threw a Flame Demon Spirit Ball towards the shop across the street.

With a boom, flames burst out, blazing fiercely with thick smoke rising.

Zhou Leng dashed into the medicinal fruit shop.

While Mountain and River Origin slaughtered demons, Zhou Leng swept a large number of herbs into the Magic Spirit Bag.

After looting and killing every demon in the shop, they headed straight for the warehouse, killing demons, robbing, and tossing Flame Demon Spirit Balls to burn things down.

Amid the roaring flames, they charged towards the next shop.

Mountain and River Origin pulled out a giant gold melon hammer, shouting while robbing, "Demon Giants are attacking the city, everyone dies!"

"In the name of the Sixth Lord Despair Shepherd, we wage war against Broken Candle City, destroy the Candleholders!" Zhou Leng shouted along, drawing his twin blades.

There were very few Innate experts here, and even if there were a few, they only dared to guard their own shops, not daring to intervene.

Mountain and River Origin wielded the gold melon hammers in each hand, swinging them with a whoosh.

Any demon struck, regardless of their size or strength, had their body largely shattered or were split into two.

Zhou Leng, wielding two 1.5-meter-long thick-backed broadswords, dashed like a shadow, taking down a demon with each step using his Lightweight Step Technique advantage.

In the Innate Battle state, no demons could withstand even one move from these two, not even half a move.

The two, one tall and one short, were like two mini tornadoes, slaughtering from the market entrance all the way to the end.
