It was a dark place, a long winding tunnels full of immortal demons and restless dark beings.
A place full of agony, dark souls and deformed undead roaming around without destinations, it was not hell it was the pathway to hell, the tunnel of death.
On a secret chamber between paths at the tunnel a very angry demon king throwing a tantrum.
"It was almost half a year since that Baihu shut my portal and kick me in the face! Arghh!" The demon king throws another things into the wall!
Four demon general was kneeling in front of him, the first was a bloody skeleton king wearing a cape his eyes has a res glows, a pretty woman wearing a black dress she licked her lips a strange green scaled tongue was shown , a red skin burly horned demon carrying a gigantic axe and an old man wearing a head covering of woven bamboo of broad conical shape cap, his clothes was ragged like a fisherman cloth made of straws carrying a swords in his right hand, his left hand was gone!
The bloody skeleton was a necromancer of the far west, it came from far beyond the dark land, a dark continent that was corrupted by dark arts and demonic rituals! The bloody skeleton necromancer name was Kratus, there is a terrible wars a couple millennials ago that turn the inhabitants into an undead and dark elemental creature that have humans characteristic but not quite human, It was the ghoul, lead by the demon king the ghoul thrive to made a society, this ghouls able to create a good well established colony, and able to procreate amongst themselves that eventually build the Necropolis, city of the death!
The pretty face tongue striped scale woman was the leader of the demons wraith corps and the dark demon spider tribe she was called Arachne the evil assassin.
The brute red horned demon was the demon king cavalry and infantry unit leader, he leads a fierce demonic cavalry called the Paimons and an undead infantry of specters, he was the death knight rider of the bat winged scaled horse with snake tails, Eligos!
The old man was the most trusted of the four, he was the demon king, most trusted advisor. The old man was once a God in the celestial realm but he choose the path of darkness, he was given a titled of "Heaven Devouring Phantom" he was the one that been trying to break off the barriers all over the northern undead mountain and the dark land portal incident, he was called Tian Mogui.
"My king Beleth!" Tian Mogui cupped his hand "After the fail attempt, the north and the west barrier was densely fortified it's hard to find a cracks in the deep space dimension, in my calculations the chance could re-appear in a couple hundred years from now!"
"No way! That is too long! Find another way, the east? The south?" Beleth.
"Out of the questions! The east has Penglai and the south has Kunlun!" Tian Mogui refute the idea!
"So give me something! Anything!?" Beleth was growling.
Beleth is a mighty and terrible king of Hell, who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command. He rides a fire breathing dragonhorse, wielding a spear of the fallen, the spear was a demonic artifact that has a chance to kill a common grand celestial god, grand celestial god is the level break through of the celestial level.
"There is a way, but it was not a certain one, since it require to use a human factor in it!" Tian Mogui replied.
"Ahh! Delicious humans!" Arachne uttered a lustful moans.
"Humf! Hold your horses there Arachne, they are undependable wretched creature!" Kratus added a comment.
"Slaves! Why do you want to use slaves?" Eligos sneered.
"The slaves, foods or undependable creature is what the heavenly god tried to cultivate to deal with us all this time! And how it fares to all of us?" Tian Mogui give an arguments.
For a moment Belent frowned, his was quiet adamant on conquering the heaven descent continent to created a staging point to invade the celestial realm!
"How was the probability of this plans?" Beleth.
"We should find a suitable candidate for this plan first, we should cultivate a certain family to seize the human domains! We can let the barriers to crumble from inside!" Tian Mogui.
"How long!?" Beleth staring at Tian Mogui.
"Faster than waiting for another hundred of years, the human could be a very interesting thing for you to toys with; my king!" Tian Mogui smiled was eerie with full killing intent as he bowed his head.
"Farewell! We it's better than nothing!" Beleth now a bit calmed and sitting back at his throne.
At the east the sky is brewing with storm as the dragon elite legions of Liang's fighters let out their spirit beast.
"They all has dragons!" A senior hall master pointed at the scene.
"We are not afraid! We could not turn back! If we do that the pride of our main family would be overstepped by the branch family, that is outrageous!" The leader dismissed the idea of retreat "fear is not real! Brace yourself brothers!" He looked at the hall masters, most of them was excited but some was hesitant.
Wen Jin was sitting in a chair at the last defensive line, by his side Wen Su and Wen Ping, Sahuang for some reason also there with an armor made of mist, people can only see a vague display of his body and face!
The Tiangou and Hongfa was leading one hundred of dragonewt warriors, Jingwei was high in the sky watching carefully on the front lines conditions she was constantly in contact with Wen Jin over telepathic dialogue.
Three hours ago on the main tent, all the wen family battle forces element was called upon, including the three branch family. The elder made sure that they all there as witness, the elder then said several idea about negotiation with the Liang's so no casualties would be fallen in the battle field as collateral.
Most of the senior hall master refuse the idea and asked for a deciding vote to strike a final blow against the Liang's forces. The senior hall master intended to march across the river, if there was no significant resistance in the river that was the Liang's specialty, since they are superior in naval combat.
"What if you all lost!" Wen Xiong asked the same questions.
Without restraint the senior hall member that answered last time Wen Xiong asked stand up "we will never lost, otherwise i would resign as hall masters! I'll be to ashamed to live anyway!" The senior hall confidence was inspiring all the senior and junior hall nod in unison.
"Can we get that on papers?" Wen Jin suddenly commented.
"What!? Who are you!" The senior hall master replied in shock.
"I am only a head of a branch family on the north west region but some of your new food rations was sent by me, so in a part i was part benefactor of the campaign funds!" Wen Jin.
"Ehem!" Some of the senior hall master rolled their eyes!
"Wait! He speak what was in my mind!" Wen Xiong.
"Elders this is absurd!" Some of the shook their head in contempt of Wen Jin comment and explanation.
"Talk is cheap, what you do would change the condition of the war, we are now at an impasse! If you should go over there and fight it off, we would forsake this negotiation and go all the way! Even the branch family would be implicated!" Wen Xiong.
"We won't back down! This area is the main family east river pass, even no branch family is placed here! They have no says in this!" One of the senior hall master retort in anger.
"Old Uncle! You may only want to include cash if you present the card to the family at the visitation or funeral. Regardless of whether you put cash or a check inside the card, there is no need to tell the recipients about the monetary gift. Talking about money at an end-of-life service is not appropriate funeral etiquette." Wen Jin explained.
"You what do you meant by that!" Another senior hall master shout at him, this one is older than the latter!
"The living suffers the dead, grandfather! You incite the Liang's that would go on and on, who can say you would be coming home alive if you are beaten up into a pulp? I am just concerning the worst, do not put it on papers if you are afraid, i am just making it clear for all sides! I am also a Wen, your lost is my lost, but the difference that i will suffer it longer than your are, life is fleeting grandfather!" Wen Jin cupped his hand in respect.
"We would make the statement, but i want you to be out from the family if we are victorious! No one in our family should be a coward, you are just making excuses!" The senior hall master pointed at Wen Jin.
