My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, simply by looking at Cheng Guang's eyes, could imagine what Cheng Guang was thinking at the moment.

His heart was filled with bitterness.

The Devil Emperor could be said to be the strongest combat force among all of the Devil Clan within the Eight-layered Devil Realm.

If it were a real battle with swords and spears, he would still have a chance to kill a Devil Emperor and obtain the Devil Dan within it.

But in the Border Area battlefield, existences at the level of the Devil Emperor and Sky-Man would not easily take action, only in moments of critical crisis or when they had to step in would they do so.

Other times, they would have their subordinates fight.

Since Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, had been stationed at the border, the Devil Emperor had rarely appeared. Clearly, the other side also did not want to come into direct conflict with Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, a Sky-Man of his stature,

Since the Devil Emperor of the Devil Clan did not make a move, in theory, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan could disregard martial ethics and take action directly.

However, the cultivation of Heavenly Human Realm, Qi, is not perpetual motion. After using certain techniques, or after battles, it requires time to recover.

Although the recovery time for Martial Cultivation in Heavenly Human Realm is short, it is not instantaneous.

If just sending out some small fry was enough to draw out an existence like Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, the Devil Emperors behind the Devil Clan would be laughing to death by now.

While Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was recovering his internal Qi, they could either choose to ambush Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan or opt to attack the Northern Expedition Army.

Without the pillar that is Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, the Northern Expedition Army had little chance of winning against the Devil Clan, which possessed warriors of Devil Emperor status.

Moreover, with the oppressive aura of the Devil Emperor, even if the Devil Emperor did nothing at all, just the presence of his aura could cause the cultivation of many soldiers who had not reached the Heavenly Human Realm to plummet by thirty to forty percent.

This was also the reason that, even though Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan had the power to slay Devil Emperors, there were no Devil Emperors who dared to fight him.

There was a sense of drawing his sword and looking around in bewilderment.

And Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan did not dare to slaughter the Devil Clan indiscriminately and provoke the Devil Emperors, for once he showed any hint of fatigue, those Devil Emperors lurking in the shadows would all surge out together.

It was truly the back-stabber of all back-stabbers.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan coughed awkwardly twice, looked at Cheng Guang, and feigned calm as he said, "As for the Devil Emperor's Devil Dan, well, it's not impossible, it's just temporarily unavailable. If you really want the Devil Emperor's Devil Dan, then even at the risk of my life, I will help you get one."

Cheng Guang, simply hearing Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan speak like this, immediately gave up on the idea of asking for a Devil Emperor-level Devil Dan and continued to look at Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, asking,

"Then what's the highest grade Devil Dan we have in North City?"

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "The highest grade Devil Dan should be a few Ninth Grade ones. The usage frequency of Devil Dans is not high, apart from being used in medicine preparation, we Martial Cultivation practitioners mostly focus on the flesh and blood of the Devil Clan, not so much on their Devil Dans."

"There should be quite a number of Ninth Grade Devil Dans in the storeroom. Guanger, you can go and check the storeroom later. I need to deal with the sudden withdrawal of the Great Yan Dynasty from the Border Area battlefield."

After saying this, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan did not wait for Cheng Guang's response and hurriedly left with a rapid pace.

At this moment, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was somewhat afraid of Cheng Guang.

Bringing up things like the Devil Emperor's Devil Dan, which even he hardly dared to mention, yet his own grandson could do so freely.

Is my grandson's vision really that grand?

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan left with a face full of sighs, fleeing as if he was almost hastening his steps.

If he continued to stay with Cheng Guang, and Cheng Guang asked for something else that he couldn't provide, that would be embarrassing.

Being embarrassed was one thing, but what Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan really didn't want to see was the look of disappointment on Cheng Guang's face.

As for Cheng Guang, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was extremely indulgent.

Before Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's voice even fell, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Following Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's departure, the officer who had just arrived to report on military affairs respectfully bowed slightly to Cheng Guang before quickly leaving.

Clearly, he also had responsibilities to attend to.

Not everyone could afford to be as leisurely as Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang stepped out of the main hall and noticed that within Duke Zhen's Mansion, there were soldiers clad in armor, rushing past quickly, each with a cold and stern expression.

With the Great Yan Dynasty's withdrawal from the Border Area battlefield, the Demon Beasts would definitely break through the Great Yan Dynasty's defenses, and all the Demon Beasts that originally belonged to the Great Yan Dynasty's domain were now pouring onto North City.

A shadow of war loomed over the minds of every soldier in North City, with no idle chatter, hurrying footsteps, they picked up their weapons and headed for the city walls.

Duke's Mansion was merely a small microcosm of the entire North City.

Since the moment the Great Yan Dynasty began its withdrawal from the Border Area battlefield, North City, this city of war, had already started to operate.

The Northern Expedition Army, hunting in the outskirts, had all been recalled back, the gates of North City were tightly shut, entering a state of strict defense.
