Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1245: Chapter 194: Demon Evil Army

"Blood clouds surge, Heaven sends down a warning!"

"I have already sensed it. The Great Qin’s destiny is trembling. The great calamity of my Human Clan is, in the end, coming!"

In the great hall, Gu Xing sat upright upon the imperial throne, his voice calm, without the slightest ripple.

But the words he spoke made the faces of all officials change drastically.

At this moment.

Dongfang Zhao entered directly into the court without any prior announcement.

"Your Majesty!"

"Defender Dongfang has arrived."

Gu Xing nodded slightly, not at all surprised by his arrival.

Dongfang Zhao came straight to the point: "Now that a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon has appeared, may I dare ask, Your Majesty, is it related to the Demon Evil Clan?"

Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still needed to confirm it.

When he saw Gu Xing nod, this speculation was completely confirmed.

"What should we do now?"

Dongfang Zhao asked again.

The Demon Evil Clan’s invasion—

What it affected was already far more than just a single Great Qin.

Though he was the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division, in matters on this level, the one who could truly make the decision was still only the man upon the imperial throne.

"Ten thousand years ago, when the Demon Evil invaded, the Ancient Human Clan experts fought to the death to resist, and in the end won a sliver of life for my Human Clan. Three hundred years ago, when the Demon Evil invaded once more, my Human Clan experts rose together, established the Demon-Subduing Division, swept clean the Universe, and safeguarded the peace of my Human Clan.

Now that the Demon Evil invades yet again, how could we of the Human Clan have any reason to retreat?"

Gu Xing shouted in a deep voice.

As his words fell, the panicked and uneasy hearts of the assembled officials gradually calmed quite a bit.

"Dongfang Zhao, receive my command!"

"Your subject is here!"

"I want all Defender Envoys of the Demon-Subduing Division at King Rank and below to lay down defensive lines across all territories of Great Qin. Whenever any Demon Evil disturbance arises, it must be suppressed at the first possible moment.

In addition, all Defender Envoys at Venerable Rank and above are to fully prepare for battle. Once the Imperial Court’s order is issued, they are to head at once to the Heaven and Earth Passage to engage the enemy!"

Gu Xing’s expression was icy cold.

A Defender Envoy of Venerable Rank corresponded to the level of a Great Demon. Only experts of this Realm barely had a few qualifications to confront the Demon Evil head-on.

As for the others—

They were somewhat lacking.

Indeed.

Weak!

The Great Qin of today was no longer the Great Qin of the past. In former times, a Defender Envoy of King Rank was a top existence holding down one entire region.

But placed in the present, a Defender Envoy of King Rank could no longer be called top-tier.

Rather than sending them to their deaths, it was better to leave them within Great Qin as a reserve force, and to prevent Demon Evil from infiltrating Great Qin and slaughtering the common people in the various lands.

Dongfang Zhao’s face was solemn as he cupped his fists and accepted the decree: "Your subject obeys!"

After that.

He turned and left.

Gu Xing looked again toward the other officials and shouted in a deep voice: "Yan Jing!"

"Your subject is here!"

"How goes the matter I previously set you to handle?"

"To report to Your Majesty, there are now ten thousand elites in the army who have entered the Grandmaster Realm. If the Demon Evil invades, they can be relied upon to fight!"

Yan Jing’s expression was solemn as he cupped his fists and spoke.

Ten thousand Great Grandmasters!

They were the experts that the army had cultivated with all its strength over these years.

For this, an unknown amount of resources had been consumed.

Each Great Grandmaster, placed outside, would be equivalent to a Defender Envoy of General Rank, that is, on par with a low-level Demon Evil.

However—

The army’s Great Grandmasters were far stronger than ordinary Great Grandmasters.

If ten thousand Great Grandmasters were to form a battle formation, the power they could unleash would be enough to shock the world.

"Good!"

Gu Xing nodded in satisfaction, then said: "You will take charge of this matter. I want the military forces in all parts of Great Qin to enter a state of battle readiness within one day, to await the orders of the Imperial Court at any time."

"Yes!"

Yan Jing received the order and withdrew.

"Baiyue, Chen Shu!"

"Your subjects are here!"

"How many within the Martial Institute are above the Grandmaster Realm now?"

Gu Xing spoke calmly.

The two exchanged a glance, then Chen Shu cupped his fists and said: "To report to Your Majesty, there are now more than thirteen thousand six hundred people in the Martial Institute at the Grandmaster Realm, more than three thousand two hundred Extreme Realm Practitioners, and two hundred and thirty-one Heaven Being Practitioners.

Among them, there are one hundred and eighty-six at the first five levels of Heaven Being, and forty-five at the latter five levels of Heaven Being."

The first five levels of Heaven Being corresponded to high-level Demon Evil.

The latter five levels of Heaven Being corresponded to Great Demons, their strength no weaker than Defender Envoys of Venerable Rank.

Such power—

Was actually already not weak.

After all, from the establishment of the Martial Institute until now, only about twenty years had passed. Twenty years ago, in the Jianghu, let alone Heaven Being experts, even those at the Grandmaster Realm were extremely few.

Now.

Twenty years had passed.

The number of Great Grandmasters had risen to over ten thousand.

The numbers of Extreme Realm and Heaven Being, both stronger than Great Grandmasters, had all increased dramatically.

"A pity that, in the end, the time has been too short!"

Gu Xing secretly sighed in his heart.

If Great Qin could be given another hundred years, Human Clan experts would definitely surge forth in great numbers, several dozen or even several hundred times more than now.

This was the benefit of a perfected inheritance.

With Great Qin’s current population base, even if only one Martial Arts genius emerged out of ten thousand people, the number of geniuses would still be astonishing.

Once these geniuses grew up, the power they would represent was imaginable.

But unfortunately—

Great Qin simply did not have that much time.

Moreover, even if they had that time, it would be very difficult to reach the level envisioned.

The root cause—

Lay in nature’s spiritual energy.

The Ancestral Vein had been severed.

The Human Clan Realm’s nature’s spiritual energy was continuously draining away.

In the past there was still nothing obvious, but as Human Clan experts grew more and more numerous, the speed at which spiritual energy was lost increased significantly.

From the establishment of the Martial Institute until now, the concentration of spiritual energy had already decreased by nearly half.

If the current trend continued—

Even if the Demon Evil Clan did not attack, in another ten or twenty years, nature’s spiritual energy would likely be completely exhausted.

By that time—
