Chapter 346 -210: The Rat Demons are Striving to Dig Through the Death Sea_2
The South, where Ji Dang and Chen Qing vied for the throne.
In the North, two factions of the Demon Clan had gathered over a thousand demons, indicating the emergence of a new king among them.
Now, with Ji Dang leading the majority of his forces to the South, what should he do?
At this thought, Li Chonghuan couldn’t help but curse, “You knew that the Wolf Clan always has a habit of moving in packs, yet I told you not to hunt the wolf demons, not to chase them. Why wouldn’t you listen?”
Ao Feng shook his head and said, “We haven’t seen wolf demons in packs for hundreds of years.”
Li Chonghuan suddenly turned his head to look northward, where the Snow Plains were at play.
It was the Snow Plains chasing the wolf demons, forcing the Demon Clan to birth a Wolf King who came to the Death Realm to cause chaos!
Although the Snow Plains were far in the extreme north and rarely intervened in worldly affairs, every time they did, they stirred up a storm.
This time, it was clear that this pack of wolf demons was orchestrated by the Snow Plains!
Li Chonghuan said with a bitter smile, “Now it’s a real mess, I shouldn’t have agreed to Ji Dang to enter the Death Realm from the start.”
Ao Feng awkwardly asked, “So, what do we do now?”
Li Chonghuan angrily replied, “What do we do, we face them! What do we do?”
“Send out orders to gather all our remaining forces and follow me northward to Wangbei City to see what these wolf demons are made of!”
At this time, Chen Qing was unaware of the tens of thousands of wolf demon armies approaching from the north. He was consulting a map, contemplating how he would march to meet Hu Yao at Naihe Bridge.
Just then, Zuo Chuan entered to report, “Report, Lord Wen, Manager Su sends word that some Demon Clan members have been spotted near the Death Sea in the South.”
Chen Qing was not too concerned, “Let him decide on his own, as long as it doesn’t spark a large-scale war.”
Then he picked up the map and looked at it for a moment, “If we want to reach Naihe Bridge in the fastest time possible, we must take a detour through the city guarded by Daoist Shasheng, passing through his territory.”
Xuan Mang said, “But the problem is how we can return safely. We cannot stay long at Naihe Bridge; if we do, Ji Dang will send forces to encircle us, and we can never go back.”
Chen Qing said, “Second brother is right; we must rush over suddenly, meet on August 15th, and then immediately retreat.”
“Looking at it this way, we still need to plan carefully.”
“There is still a month and a half left, so we have plenty of time.”
“First, head north to send a signal to the Demon Clan, indicating that I agree to their proposal.”
“Raid a city, choose one arbitrarily; Ji Dang certainly won’t guess.”
“Send out the orders, rest every seven days, and have the entire army head north at full speed, sleeping on their mounts.”
The eight hundred Dragon Cavalry set off once again, led by Chen Qing. After only a few dozen miles, Chen Qing heard someone say, “Scouts ahead!”
Chen Qing immediately commanded, “Qing Ran, take some men and capture them, behead them. Our movements can be revealed, but not under their very noses!”
Qing Ran quickly accepted the order, leading a team to hunt.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by both Chen Qing and Xu Yaofeng in the South, near the coastal area of the Death Sea, a Rat Demon peeked out.
“Lucky, lucky, didn’t fall into the hands of that Chaotian City or something.”
“Or else I’d surely get cooked!”
Just then, a sinister voice sounded next to it, “Maybe roasted?”
The Rat Demon quickly turned its head, suddenly finding it was its kin. This kin’s fur was as white as snow, shimmering under the phosphorescent glow like soft silk.
“Who are you?”
The white Rat Demon said, “I am the senior brother of the Ancient Worship Sect. It’s abominable, the humans destroyed our sect!”
The Rat Demon also said, “Yes, yes, humans are the worst!”
The white Rat Demon extended his hand, inviting, “Let’s create a kingdom truly belonging to us Rat Demons!”
“Join us, and we will vie for that so-called throne!”
The Rat Demon said, “But we are just Rat Demons.”
The white Rat Demon said, “No matter. Underground, we have a true monarch who never abandons any Rat Clan citizen.”
The Rat Demon curiously asked, “How many of us are there?”
The white Rat Demon said, “Thousands upon thousands!”
The Rat Demon doubted, “How is that possible?”
The white Rat Demon smiled, “Follow me, and you will understand.”
The Rat Demon followed the white Rat Demon, turning and tunneling downwards. After traversing dozens of miles deep, they arrived at a huge town.
This was an entirely underground town, teeming with Rat Demons queuing to receive some food.
Although the food was exquisite, it was extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice.
Rat Demons, queuing so orderly, was something Shu Hao, who was visiting for the first time, had never seen.
Shu Hao exclaimed, “You actually grew food in the Death Realm!”
The white Rat Demon said, “All of this is thanks to the protection of the Great King!”
“The Great King has a King Gu, known as Sumeru.”
“In the King Gu, there is a mountain called Sumeru Mountain, where there is sun and moon. Those who enter will shrink.”
“But crops do not change, so even in the Death Realm, we can still grow food and nurture descendants!”
Seeing so many rats as numerous as grains of rice in a jar, Shu Hao finally believed, “I will join too!”
Receiving a small amount of food, Shu Hao, led by the white Rat Demon, entered Sumeru Mountain. After entering, he saw fields of crops growing freely in the sunlight.
The grain of rice in his hand had also become as big as a watermelon since he had shrunk.
He immediately indulged himself in a feast, “It’s been so long, so long since I’ve had food in the Death Realm.”
In the Ghost Face Realm, there was no need for food, as it resides between life and death, akin to a living dead.
Moreover, the white Rat Demon arranged a marriage for Shu Hao, “Now that you’ve come to the Death Realm and Sumeru Mountain, you’re one of us!”
“I’ll find you a beautiful wife!”

As Shu Hao had a cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he ended up with a Foundation Establishment Realm Rat Demon as his wife.
After seven days of intimacy with his wife, Shu Hao felt that this must be the paradise of the Death Realm. Even the life of immortals wasn’t better than this.
His wife was still a virgin.
There was an endless supply of food, a lovely wife, and even the possibility of children.
This was the most comfortable time Shu Hao had experienced since entering the Death Realm ten years ago; he no longer had to worry about being hunted by humans or anything of that sort.
One day, the white Rat Demon went to Shu Hao again, “Shu Hao, as a citizen of the Sumeru King, you should do some work for our Sumeru King!”
Shu Hao happily agreed, “Of course, I’m more than willing!”
Soon, he became curious. In the Death Realm, he rarely heard of the Rat Clan. What have these Rat Clans been doing all these years?
“What specifically are we going to do?”
The white Rat Demon proudly declared, “Dig through the Death Sea!”
Shu Hao was stunned.
The white Rat Demon explained, “Although the Sumeru King left behind Sumeru Mountain, three hundred years ago, the despicable Master of Mortal World banished him to the Death Sea.”
“Our task is to welcome back our King!”
“As long as Sumeru Mountain exists, it means our King is still alive!”
“He is simply trapped in the Death Sea, unable to escape, but he is not dead!”
“Our task is to dig through the Death Sea and rescue our King from it!”
“Then, under the leadership of our King, we’ll return to the surface, slaughter the Jiguang Sect, and restore the glory of the Rat Clan!”
Shu Hao finally understood why he was immediately given a wife upon arrival.
After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded, “I will lead them to dig through the Death Sea and rescue our King!”
The white Rat Demon comforted, “The oracle has predicted that we will soon welcome back our King!”
“Whoever saves our King can become a Great General, second only to one yet above many!”
After bidding farewell to his wife, Shu Hao set off for his worksite, ready to oversee and guide the Qi Refining Realm Rat Demons in digging tunnels.
Following the white Rat Demon, Shu Hao descended into the earth that had been excavated for three hundred years, descending a thousand miles.
“Is this the result of more than three hundred years of digging?”
The white Rat Demon said, “Of course, we not only unearthed numerous treasures but also uncovered two famous generals whom the Master of Mortal World banished back then!”
“They are both willing to follow our Sumeru King!”
Shu Hao said, “I will work hard to strive to bring back our King as soon as possible!”
