The demon clan members nodded in agreement, knowing this to be true, but they were also puzzled as to why Mr. Zhao Hai had not made a move against the divine race yet.
The Dragon King glanced at the group and said in a solemn tone, "Zhao Hai's methods are extraordinary. In our previous encounters, I found no advantage. Although at that time we had not fully regained our strength, Zhao Hai is indeed exceptional. When I first saw him, he was merely a pseudo-divine level expert. But when we engaged, I was shocked to find he had become a supreme divine-level expert. His combat power is incredibly strong. We attacked him with five against one, and we only managed to injure him while he even managed to take Thorn Shadow away. I heard that Thorn Shadow has been killed by him and transformed into an undead being. What unsettles me the most is that Thorn Shadow seems to have become a divine-level undead being, indistinguishable from his previous strength. This is why I am so wary of Zhao Hai."
Upon hearing the Dragon King's words, the demon clan members in the room were taken aback. They had not expected things to be as such. No wonder the Dragon King displayed such dread whenever Zhao Hai was mentioned; the root of it was right here.
The Dragon King continued, "We must not underestimate Zhao Hai's capabilities. The fact that he dares to come to us means he has some confidence. Everyone must be cautious. Additionally, it seems Zhao Hai is quite familiar with matters concerning our demon realm, though I am unsure of the reason behind it. Well, now is not the time for these discussions. Let's gather our forces. Regardless, we should first repel Zhao Hai and also observe his true capabilities."
The group responded and turned to leave. The Dragon King exited the room, where his subordinates had prepared his chariot. He mounted the Black Dragon Chariot and flew directly over Demon City.
At this time, the members of the Strength Demon Clan and other demon clans had readied themselves and took to the skies from Demon City. The Dragon King led a large group, slowly arriving outside Demon City, quietly watching the direction from which Zhao Hai was coming.
Zhao Hai did not keep them waiting for long; his undead army moved at a swift pace. A massive magic square formation composed of undead beings gradually approached the Dragon King's group.
Zhao Hai and his companions stood atop a bone dragon, slowly flying closer to the Dragon King. Many demon clan members behind the Dragon King curiously stared at the seemingly ordinary young man. They truly did not expect that the individual who caused the Dragon King such headaches would appear so unremarkable. What was even more surprising was that he was accompanied by a succubus.
Zhao Hai bowed slightly to the Dragon King and said, "Your Majesty Dragon King, we meet again. It seems that Your Excellency has fully regained strength. I am uncertain whether to congratulate or worry about this."
The Dragon King looked at Zhao Hai and suddenly smiled, saying, "It's been a while, Mr. Zhao Hai. I wonder if you have had any contact with the divine race? Is their strength a bit stronger, or is it our demon clan that has improved?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and replied, "Your Majesty, you need not worry. I have indeed had contact with the divine race. Hehe, while I haven't gained any benefits, I also haven't suffered losses. It seems the forces here are growing, and I came to take a look."
The Dragon King regarded Zhao Hai and said, "To be honest, on the Ark Continent, I hold Mr. Zhao Hai in the highest regard. Only you can stand against our demon army. But does Mr. Zhao Hai believe that you can withstand the combined assault of our demon clan and the divine race?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, whether I can withstand the combined assault of the divine race and demon clan is one thing. I just want to ask Your Majesty Dragon King, even if you and the divine race manage to defeat me and conquer the Ark Continent, how will you divide it afterwards? Will it be shared equally, or will there be no division? If it is to be shared, I wonder if you agree? Even if you do agree, will the divine race do the same?"
