"I just want to ask one thing, why is it that from the outbreak of this war until now, the Heavenly Court hasn’t deployed troops to support the Eastern Continent army even once?"
This pointed question made Damion’s expression shift, he knew the Tempest Clan was furious about the Heavenly Court’s refusal to send troops, but there was nothing he could do.
He took a deep breath and said in a grave tone, "Patriarch Tempest, I understand how you feel, but the Heavenly Court has its own considerations for not deploying troops."
"We must trust the Heavenly Court, we must trust that they will lend a hand at the critical moment."
The Tempest Clan Patriarch sneered coldly. "Trust? How are we supposed to trust them? The Eastern Continent’s defense line has collapsed, and the Vice Patriarch of my Tempest Clan has died in battle, so how do you expect me to trust the Heavenly Court now?"
Damion frowned deeply. he knew the Tempest Clan Patriarch’s words echoed the thoughts of many clans present.
They had lost trust in the Heavenly Court and confidence in the Demon Extermination Alliance.
The only reason they still fought was because surrendering the Mysterious Yellow Great World to the Demon Race was not an option.
"Patriarch Tempest, do not be hasty, it pains me deeply that such a tragedy has occurred as well, but that is exactly why I said we must attack the Demon Race."
"Attack the Demon Race? Do you think we actually have that capability right now?" The Tempest Clan Patriarch snorted coldly, his face full of blatant disdain.
Damion furrowed his brow, he knew their confidence was shattered and their minds filled with suspicion toward the Heavenly Court.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he spoke in a low voice. "I know our military strength is insufficient to mount an offensive, but in reality, you should all be puzzled about one thing, why hasn’t the Heavenly Court just dispatched Saints to crush the Demon Race?"
The crowd was stunned and simultaneously looked toward Damion, indeed, this was a question that had always deeply bewildered them.
"Truthfully, I don’t know the answer either," Damion said slowly.
"That’s why I plan to force the Heavenly Court’s hand, previously, there wasn’t enough pressure on them, but now, with the Eastern Continent fighting a battle to the death, we finally have our chance!"
In an inn in a small town in the Eastern Continent.
Adam and Cecilia sat across from each other, eating lunch like ordinary people, it had already been a full day since they left the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven, and nothing had happened.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, the Book Saint went to the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven, so why didn’t he record this matter?" Cecilia asked as she placed a chicken leg into Adam’s bowl.
"I’m not sure, it’s possible the terrifying giant maw didn’t appear during the last Bamboo Pear conflict, or perhaps the Book Saint intentionally left it out."
"So much time has passed, verifying it now would be rather difficult." Adam shook his head.
The reason he had gone to the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven in the first place was because of the Book Saint’s diary, which contained relevant information about it, but there had been absolutely no mention of that terrifying giant maw.
If there had been, Adam probably wouldn’t have gone.
That giant maw was far too terrifying, even before it fully appeared, he was trembling all over.
What was even more bizarre was that when the giant maw appeared, it was accompanied by the aura of the Heavenly Court.
If it were the Demon Race, he could have understood, it might have been some new type of demon, but to possess the aura of the Heavenly Court was extremely bizarre, whether it was the evil aura the maw emitted or its overall appearance, neither matched the Heavenly Court at all.
Moreover, it was impossible for the Demon Race to enter the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven, only the Heavenly Court had that capability.
But why would the Heavenly Court want to absorb the spiritual energy and life force of the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven? They shouldn’t be lacking in those, judging from the timing, the giant maw had been precisely waiting for everything to end so it could come out and harvest.
Could it be that the Bamboo Pear Grotto-Heaven was prepared specifically for that giant maw?
"Then Young Master, where are we going next?" Cecilia couldn’t figure it out either, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
"We’ll continue to improve our strength, however, we should visit places like Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands less often."
"God knows if we’ll run into another giant maw." Adam decided to stop dwelling on it as well, the most important thing was to quickly elevate his own strength.
"Did you hear? The Eastern Continent border has been breached by the Demon Race, and our human commander was torn apart and eaten by the demons!"
"What? Impossible, right? Haven’t they defended it for so long? Why would it suddenly be breached?"
"Don’t listen to his nonsense, our defending forces consist of the three-party alliance of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm, and the Human Race, how could they be defeated!"
"But this is what my brother who escaped from the frontlines said! He saw with his own eyes the Demon Race breaking through the defense line and the commander being torn to pieces and eaten!"
In the inn, several guests were discussing recent events at the Eastern Continent border, their voices grew louder, attracting attention all around them.
Adam and Cecilia heard these discussions too, and both their expressions turned solemn.
The Eastern Continent border breached, the commander torn apart and eaten by the Demon Race, what did this mean? It meant the Demon Race had launched a massive invasion, and the Human Race currently had no power to fight back, with even their defense lines broken.
What a grave situation this was.
"Young Master!" Cecilia called out to Adam, a flash of worry crossing her eyes.
If the Mysterious Yellow Great World was truly occupied by the Demon Race, they would no longer have a home.
"Don’t panic, they won’t let the Demon Race burst in so easily." Adam offered a word of comfort.
