Chapter 617 Solution

Everyone's attention was drawn to the person who had arrived.

Hall Master Qi looked at the person unhappily. "What's going on?"

Could it be that Lin Qiye had discovered their gathering?

"Hall Master Qi, bad news! The demons! The army of demons is coming!"

The person's expression was terrified, and his voice trembled.

"What?"

Everyone present was shocked.

The hall instantly boiled over.

"What's going on? Why did those demons attack so quickly?"

"The High God hasn't shown himself yet. How could they dare to act on a large scale? Aren't they afraid that the three High Gods will attack and annihilate their army?"

The three High Gods of the Heavenly God Palace had always been important figures who deterred the demon clan.

Even if the demons were quite confident, they wouldn't dare to expose their nests, let alone summon their army for a large-scale operation.

At the level of the High Gods, ordinary cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm were no different from cannon fodder.

An ordinary ace in the Celestial Realm could barely withstand one or two moves from them and had almost no ability to resist.

Therefore, the people of the Heavenly God Palace had never thought that the demon clan would dare to start a large-scale operation before they had dealt with the main force of the Heavenly God Palace.

"How could this be? Don't tell me... The High Gods have..."

Some people thought of a possibility. The demon race had already dealt with the three High Gods.

"Impossible! Even the king of the demon race has been defeated by the High Gods. The High Gods must be held back by something!"

Some people didn't even dare to imagine the future after losing the three High Gods.

The Hall Masters' expressions were ugly as well. They looked at each other, at a loss.

"Where's the demon army now? How strong are they?"

Hall Master Qi looked at the man and asked, barely able to keep calm.

"I'm not clear about the specific situation, but I heard from the Holy Infant Temple Master and his subordinates that the demons should be arriving here soon. Moreover, it seems the demons have mobilized all their military forces!"

"They have surrounded the people of the four empires. Perhaps they want to annihilate the human race in one fell swoop!"

"What did you just say?"

One of the Hall Masters grabbed the man by the neck.

"The territories of the four empires are spread out for tens of thousands of miles. Even if the demons come out in full force, how can they surround the four empires?"

"This subordinate doesn't dare to speak nonsense! I've also done some investigations these few days. Because the four empires are afraid of the demons, they followed the instructions of the Holy Infant Temple Master and gathered all their citizens. Now, the defensive front has been controlled to a range of a million miles!"

The messenger's eyes were filled with despair.

In the beginning, when he learned about this information, he did not take it to heart. It was only when he heard about the attack by the demons and saw with his own eyes the communication between the four kings and Lin Qiye that he had no choice but to believe it.

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Many people couldn't accept this.

They had just escaped from the claws of the demons, yet they were immediately surrounded by an army. What could be more despairing than this?

"Go! Meet the Holy Infant Temple Master!"

Hall Master Qi was also a little flustered.

The only way he could think of to survive now was Lin Qiye, who was the antidote.

Just like that, more than three hundred Celestial Realm powerhouses rushed to the meeting hall, where Lin Qiye was in a panic.

As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Lin Qiye, Black Dragon, Butcher, and the others talking about something on a strategy map.

Hall Master Qi's heart turned cold. He walked up to Lin Qiye and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

"Comrade Lin, what are you guys doing?"

"I'm sorry, Hall Master Qi. We might be in trouble."

Lin Qiye put down the map in his hand, his expression grim.

"Trouble?" Hall Master Qi pretended not to know.

Lin Qiye sighed.

"Sigh, right now, the demon nests in various places are collectively erupting. As if they've gone crazy, they're madly sweeping through the four great empires. Look, in just one day, the defensive line has been reduced by ten times!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the red circles marked on the map. The outer red circles had been drawn a few times, and only the core was left.

"As you can see, there's only one last line of defense left. We're at the edge, and it won't be long before the demon army besieges us.

As soon as he said this, the people of the Heavenly God Palace panicked.

"Then what are we still doing here? Quickly retreat! I'm afraid it'll be too late if we don't leave!"

"Shut up! We don't even know the situation. What are you talking about?"

Hall Master Qi stopped the noises and turned to Lin Qiye.

"Comrade Lin, now that you've grasped the situation on the front line, please tell us in detail."

He didn't say he would help, nor did he immediately express his intention to escape.

Lin Qiye thought to himself that the fish had taken the bait, but he put on a solemn expression.

"The situation is bad. The demons have come out in full force, and our last line of defense has been surrounded. Even if you want to escape, there's no way out."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye pointed at the black mark on the map that was circled outside the red circle.

Hall Master Qi's eyes flickered with a trace of fear.

However, he quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and said seriously, "Right now, your defense line still has a range of a million miles. Although it has been compressed to a small size, it is not impossible to break through."
