Chapter 725

The leaders of the various forces gathered to discuss the matter of the Demon Clan, including the heads of the five overlords. They came with Zi Chen.

The emergence of the World of Ancient Beasts opened up a new world for the Bedlam Lands. Not only were there ancient beasts, but there were also mineral veins and spiritual herbs. These resources were enough to change the current situation of the Bedlam Lands and double the strength of the various forces.

But before that, they had to get rid of the Demon Clan that was blocking their way.

"The Demon Clan has gone too far. Not only have they defended the inner area, they have also been attacking us from the outer area. They want to invade this place and drive us out."

When the crowd arrived to discuss the matter, the cultivator who was stationed here said angrily.

"You didn't fight back?" Zi Chen asked.

"There were organized Dan Yuan attacks and we killed some of the Demon Clan. But after the battle, we lost more people. The Demon Clan is hateful and cruel, and they are not afraid of death. If we kill one of them, they will kill two or three times as many of us," Dan Yuan said dejectedly.

From the moment they entered the Fringe Lands to the moment they encountered the Monster Race, the Bedlam Lands had never won a single battle.

After pondering for a moment, Zi Chen finally said, "If we want to defend this place and obtain more resources to expand our forces, we have to defeat the Demon Clan. But to defeat the Demon Clan, we have to be united."

Zi Chen had fought with the Demon Clan in the Ancient Battlefield, so he knew a little about the Demon Clan. As long as the overlord force, the Dragonmen, sent out a signal, the Demon Clan would immediately rush over and obey the order unconditionally.

This time, the various forces were defeated in the battle against the Demon Clan. Apart from the fact that they were weaker in terms of combat strength, most of them were fighting on their own. They could not form a united defense.

"Since the formation of the alliance, there have been no internal fights," Dan Yuan said.

"That's right. We have stopped fighting among ourselves and are united against the Demon Clan. But the Demon Clan is too strong. It is indeed difficult to fight them."

Zi Chen looked at the crowd and then glanced at the heads of the overlords. He said seriously, "What I mean is that we should unite against the Demon Clan, not stop fighting among ourselves."

"Isn't that the same thing?" A Core Core cultivator asked blankly.

A cold smile appeared on Zi Chen's face as he said, "Not fighting among ourselves doesn't mean we need to be united. What we need to be united is to gather everyone together and attack the Yao Clan with all our might. We don't need to be scattered like sand."

As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, everyone's expression changed. What Zi Chen meant couldn't be any simpler. Everyone understood, but they were all humans with sharp minds and intelligence. It was easier said than done to unite.

Even if many people knew about this problem, who would have the courage to gather everyone together?

There might be overlords, but there were five of them. Even if there were leaders, there would be five of them. With five leaders, their opinions would naturally not be unified, and there would be disagreements.

Furthermore, each side represented a faction, and each faction had many Dan Essence experts. This would also implicate their own interests.

Unity was easier said than done.

Everyone was silent.

Zi Chen glanced at the crowd with a cold smile on his face. Everyone had their own plans, and he was no exception.

Many forces had invited the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion to join because they had taken a fancy to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's combat power and wanted them to exterminate the Demon Clan. However, how could a small Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion destroy such a huge Demon Clan? Furthermore, Zi Chen did not want to push the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion into the heart of the struggle.

If they really defeated the Demon Clan and angered them, they might cross the border and attack the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. Then, these allies who benefited from it might immediately become enemies.

To prevent such a situation from happening, Zi Chen could only unite all the factions to deal with the Demon Clan.

It didn't matter whether the factions were big or small. In such a situation, they didn't have the strength or experience to be the leader.

What they needed to consider was the overlords. However, there was only one leader, and it wasn't suitable for any of the five to be the leader.

The expressions of the five of them changed. They were hesitant and couldn't make a decision. After a long while, the five of them looked at each other and finally accepted Zi Chen's suggestion. "Alright, let's form an alliance. The six of us will be the leaders."

The overlords had expressed their stance, which obviously confirmed the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's status as an overlord. However, after Zi Chen heard this, he was so angry that he almost laughed.

The opinions of two leaders of a faction would already be divided, let alone six.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "An alliance can only have one leader and one person who has the final say. If there are too many people, the alliance will lose its meaning."

After Zi Chen said this, someone was unhappy. "Zi Chen, what do you mean? There's only one leader and one person who has the final say. Are you talking about you?"

Zi Chen smiled and said, "I do have the intention to be the leader, provided that no one objects."

As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed. The faces of the leaders of the overlords also became unnatural.

"Of course we object. What right do you have to lead all the factions in the Land of Chaos? Do you really think that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion is above the overlords?" Another Dan Yuan said.

Zi Chen ignored him. This kind of person wasn't worthy of Zi Chen's emotions. He only looked at the overlords and asked calmly, "What do you think about this matter?"

The people from the Overlords looked at each other when they heard Zi Chen's question. As Overlords, they were more far-sighted and had more misgivings. If Zi Chen became the leader today and was above them, it would undoubtedly mean that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion was above the Overlords.

Although this was just an empty title, as an overlord, they couldn't ignore it.

"Zi Chen, let's discuss this matter again." After hesitating for a moment, the leader of the Wu Family said.

When it came to their own interests, the position of the former allies was no longer firm.

The others also nodded and said, "That's right. This matter is very important and needs to be discussed."

"It's just a matter of finding a leader to listen to his commands. How can this be considered important?"

Beside Zi Chen, the Devil Ape sneered, "Do you really think that our Pavilion Master cares about this position? What bullsh * t leader? Our Pavilion Master doesn't care about it."

The Devil Ape's words were very disrespectful. While everyone was embarrassed, there were also people who showed dissatisfaction.

"Since it's an important matter, let's discuss it properly. We still have to hunt ancient beasts, so we'll take our leave first."

After saying this, Zi Chen turned and left. The monk and the Devil Ape followed closely behind.

"Hmph, what's there to be arrogant about? Do you really think that we can't defeat the Demon Race without you, Zi Chen?" Zi Chen led his people away. Some people were extremely dissatisfied with Zi Chen's attitude.

The overlords' expressions were also very ugly. Zi Chen's actions today really didn't give them any face.

"Zi Chen is right. If we want to defeat the Yao Clan, we need to be united. However, unity has nothing to do with the leadership of the leaders. As long as we deploy everything, we can destroy the Yao Clan if we work together," a leader, Dan Yuan, suggested.

"That's right. As long as we are united, we can defeat the enemy. As for Zi Chen saying that he only needs a leader, that's only because he wants to fight for credit and suppress the overlords."

This suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone. Then, the alliance was formed. It was jointly led by the leaders of the five overlords, and the others would cooperate fully.

As soon as the alliance leaders came to an agreement, before anyone could congratulate them, a deafening battle cry came from outside the encampment.

"The Demon Race, the Demon Race is here again."

"Not good, the Demon Race is here again."

After the battle cry, there was the sound of energy clashing. Then, there were all kinds of panicked voices from outside.

"Let's go out and take a look."

The leaders of the five overlords were the first to speak. Then, they took the lead and rushed out. Everyone followed in a line and saw a chaotic scene.

The Demon Race was charging aggressively. The humans, who outnumbered the Demon Race, were actually fleeing, except for a few who were fighting back.

The fierce battles over the past few months had made them afraid of the Demon Race. At this moment, before the battle even started, they were already afraid.

The battle had just started and it was already chaotic.

Seeing such a scene, one of the leaders couldn't help but shout, "Why are you all running? Hurry up and kill the Demon Race."

However, his words were only effective on the cultivators of his own clan. The cultivators of other clans ignored him. Those who were supposed to run were still running.

"Don't run. Hold them back." The five leaders who had just formed the alliance also began to command loudly.

Screams, commands, sinister laughter, cries for help, all kinds of voices overlapped. The already chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic in the next moment.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have become the leaders and were commanding the troops. However, the more they commanded, the more chaotic it became. In desperation, the overlords could only shout, "Alright, everyone spread out. Command your own clans and then go kill the Demon Race."

The Jinyuan of the various clans spread out and began to search for their own clans in the chaos. After finding their own clans and fighting back, the people of the various clans had the ability to fight.

"Go up. Why didn't your Lu Clan go up? Why did you retreat?" One of the leaders shouted at the Jinyuan who were retreating.

"Didn't you all retreat?"

"That's because the Demon Race is too strong. We can't hold them back."

"We're the same. Too many Jinyuan died."

The moment they formed a fighting force, before the other clans could fight back, a few of the leaders who had the intention to signal for their own experts to retreat and conserve their strength.

One or two of them didn't make much of a difference. However, when the number of retreating clans increased, the signs of defeat were very obvious.

Therefore, a strange scene played out.

The humans who had formed an organization kept retreating in the face of the Demon Race who had fewer people than them. They fought as they retreated. Their morale became extremely low as they retreated.

On the other hand, the Demon Race became braver as they fought. Their morale was high.

When the leaders of the overlords saw this scene, their noses were almost crooked from anger. They couldn't wait to go up and slap these leaders to death. At this time, shouldn't they attack together to destroy the Demon Race?

However, everyone wanted to preserve their strength as much as possible. Everyone wanted to preserve their strength. If no one went up to fight, how could the Demon Race be destroyed?

When they gave the order for everyone to fight back, the people who had lost their fighting spirit would only be courting death if they went up.

In the distance, Zi Chen and the others watched this scene coldly.

"Let's go."

Seeing that the various clans had begun to organize their retreat, Zi Chen turned his head and left with his men. He didn't participate in the battle.
