If that's really the case, then Selena is in danger. Evan Chu would never allow such a thing to happen. He must quickly find out where Selena is, or check whether she's among the demonic army.
Searching for one person among millions is extremely difficult, and this is what makes Evan Chu feel most helpless. He hopes Selena isn't in the army; he'd rather go into the Demonic Realm himself than try to find her like a needle in a haystack.
But the search still has to be done. Maybe Goldwing and Emerald Immortal Empress Jade can help. Jade has powerful divine sense, Goldwing is fast—they can scan huge areas quickly. Still, Evan believes if Selena is in the demonic army, she'll try to find him, or at least protect herself.
Evan, why do you look so grim? Are you worried about the Immortal–Demon War?" Yvonne Xuan asked.
No, I just suddenly thought of Selena. I don't know if she's in the demonic army. You all know what that would mean. I hope I'm just overthinking." Evan forced a smile.
When Evan said this, all the women grew anxious. Even if Lingxiao isn't sure of Selena's identity, Yvonne Xuan and Serena Frost know she's one of Evan's most important women. Nothing must happen to her, or Evan would be devastated.
Evan, don't worry so much. The three of us are all late-stage Immortal Emperors now, with immense divine sense. Even if Lingxiao doesn't know Selena, we can tell her what Selena looks like and her features, so it'll be much easier for her to help search." Yvonne Xuan said.
That's all we can do. Hopefully, since she's a woman, Selena isn't in the army. Frostbane Imperial Palace needs someone to stay behind, so I'll leave one of my avatars here. Jade is coming to the battlefield with us—defeating the demonic army is crucial, and finding Selena can't wait." Evan said.
Evan immediately gathered the special squad he'd trained years ago. Now, everyone had reached Immortal Emperor level. These people only listen to Evan; not even Lingxiao or the others can command them.
Maybe your teamwork has gotten rusty. This Immortal–Demon War is incredibly dangerous—it's likely a nine-deaths-one-life situation. Are you all ready?" Evan asked.
We're ready, Palace Lord. Don't worry, we've kept up our training all these years. Not long ago, we killed an ice beast in the frozen lands just to prepare for the Immortal–Demon War. As for life and death, we've long since accepted it," one of them said.
Good. You're my special squad, and you'll play a special role on the battlefield. You won't fight unless it's absolutely critical. Keep your identities hidden, and when the time comes, launch a wild surprise attack on the demonic army—let them know how terrifying the Immortal army can be," Evan said.
We'll definitely complete the Palace Lord's mission!" All thirty answered in unison.
Move out!" With Evan's order, the Frostbane Imperial Palace troops and army headed for the Immortal–Demon War. Gavin Wei, the Divine Healer, was among them, saying he was there to ease everyone's suffering.
Over the years, Gavin Wei's strength had grown rapidly, reaching mid-stage Immortal Lord. With him there, Evan felt much more at ease—at least the wounded would receive effective treatment.
Evan then summoned Goldwing. A few key figures sat atop him and flew straight to the Immortal–Demon War battlefield. This time, the battlefield wasn't in a deserted wasteland, but on an endless plain—or rather, a grassland. Evan found this strange.
He couldn't understand why the entrance to the Immortal–Demon War was here. Before, Zane Zuo escaped through the mountains. After getting off Goldwing's back, Evan was full of doubts.
Nolan Nangong seemed to notice Evan's confusion and laughed, "The Immortal–Demon War battlefield isn't for you or me to decide. It's determined by the strength and position of the entrance. Sometimes it even appears in the sea. Don't get hung up on it—since the demonic army hasn't arrived yet, let's prepare."
Evan glanced at the endless grassland and saw powerful energy fluctuations dozens of miles away—dense demonic qi, a sign that the Demonic Realm forces had arrived. Still, he couldn't understand why the entrance wasn't at Zane Zuo's old escape route.
Thinking about it, he seemed to realize something: "Maybe the Demonic Realm chose this spot as a diversion. The real entrance is where Zane Zuo escaped—the grassland is just to draw our attention, so we send everyone here while the real army attacks from somewhere else. I don't even want to imagine the consequences."
You're absolutely right. We've thought about this too, so we stationed a huge army there long ago—over a million troops, commanded jointly by the Hidden Clans and Ancient Immortals. If anything happens, we'll know immediately.
We've also set up a giant Teleportation Array here, so don't worry. No matter which side is the main battlefield, we can respond with full force." Nolan Nangong said.
So that's it. No wonder those arrogant Ancient Immortals aren't here. Honestly, the Immortal Realm is far too weak—the Netherworld's Hidden Clans are the real powerhouses. On my last trip to the Netherworld, I saw demigod and Heavenly God realm experts with my own eyes. In the Immortal Realm, even demigod-level experts are as rare as phoenix feathers, let alone anyone stronger.
And from what I've heard from Netherworld experts, the Demonic Realm's powerhouses are even more terrifying. Maybe in previous Immortal–Demon Wars, they didn't send their full strength—otherwise, the Immortal Realm wouldn't have been able to resist. Let's hope not too many experts show up this time, or things will get messy." Evan said.
The Immortal Realm does have true experts, so I'm not worried at all. I believe this time, the Demonic Realm will suffer a crushing defeat." Nolan Nangong laughed.
You've got that much confidence, old bro? Are there really Hidden Clans experts in the Immortal Realm too? Why didn't they show up during the Immortal–Beast War?" Evan asked.
You're really clueless—the Immortal Realm's true expert is you! Who could possibly be your match? With you holding down the fort, I believe even the strongest Demonic Realm powerhouses won't be able to compete." Nolan Nangong said.
Evan felt a bit embarrassed. Just then, a soldier hurried over and said, "Supreme Commander! The Demonic Realm army has appeared on the battlefield—they've already reached a million strong."
Good, it's actually better that they've arrived early. This time, let's show them the true power of the Immortal Realm!" Evan said...
