The demon race breaking the seal again was something Chen Nan hadn't expected.
After all, he was confident in his mastery of formations.
But the matter had already occurred.
Dwelling on it was meaningless.
"Brothers, kill those demon scum!" Jiang Tongtian, his face filled with excitement, soared into the sky and flew towards the northern horizon.
The hundred thousand soldiers he brought followed suit.
"Sons of Qian Nation, follow me to slay the demons." Guo Kai also drew his long sword and flew north.
Chen Nan looked at Du Qingqiu behind him, "You are responsible for order within the city. If anything happens, come find me directly." With that, his figure vanished.
Before Jiang Tongtian, Guo Kai, and the others reached the teleportation array, Chen Nan arrived at the vicinity of the passage a step ahead.
Long Ao was staring at the fractured seal.
His eyes were slightly solemn, "I just sensed the fluctuation of a divine artifact. Although that artifact is incomplete, it was enough to break this seal."
"Then, let's fight!"
Chen Nan's eyes blazed with boundless killing intent.
He formed hand seals.
Utilizing the power of the frost covering the sky, he set up a formation.
Centered on the teleportation array, it covered a radius of three thousand li.
Shutting the door to beat the dog.
He was skilled at it.
Once the formation was complete, the powerhouses from Qian and Yan Nations also arrived.
They gathered around the teleportation array.
With a few muffled impacts.
The demon race's powerhouses launched a massive assault.
But they were immediately slain by the waiting powerhouses.
Before they could even fully emerge, they turned into mist of blood.
It wasn't until a streak of sword light tore through the sky, blasting everyone away, that a demon powerhouse managed to rip open a gap and break through.
However.
Eighteen thousand powerhouses were gathered here.
The weakest among them had reached the level of Supreme Immortal, and most were True Immortal realm experts.
Although they hadn't experienced the Human-Demon War themselves, they had trained diligently.
All for the day the demon race invaded, so they could step forward and defend humanity's territory.
And its dignity.
The human race was the most intelligent among all races.
But also the weakest.
After all, not everyone could cultivate.
There was a fundamental difference between humans and demons.
Humans cherished peace.
While demons lived by slaughter.
Yet even so.
Human ancestors had used their flesh and blood to halt the demon race's invasion of the human realm.
It was their selfless sacrifice that brought about the current peaceful era in the human realm.
Now, the demon race had returned.
These individuals were willing to emulate their ancestors.
Solely to defeat the demons and protect their lands.
And their loved ones.
------
Time flowed.
Slaughter continued without end.
Demon realm powerhouses continuously poured out of the teleportation array, like an unstoppable river.
"Why are these demons so fearless of death?"
"And how many of their kind are there?"
Chen Nan floated in mid-air.
He didn't know how many demon powerhouses the human experts had slain.
But conservatively, it must have been hundreds of thousands.
Yet countless more demon powerhouses continued to emerge in an orderly fashion.
Guo Kai said, "It is said the demon race only enjoys two things."
"Slaughter and procreation."
"And unlike humans, they give birth to more than ten children at a time."
"This is also the key reason why the demon race attacks humanity."
"Although the demon realm's area is second only to the beast race, their fertility rate is extremely high, so high that they must expand their territory."
"Therefore, they intend to conquer human lands."
Chen Nan understood.
He then said, "I'll return to Snow Country first. You all stay here and guard."
Guo Kai and Jiang Tongtian were both ninth-level Immortal Emperors.
And they were accompanied by eighth-level Immortal Emperor experts.
Even if Gu Jin, the Demon Emperor, appeared, he wouldn't be able to kill them.
Of course.
If Gu Jin appeared, he would be able to sense the opponent's aura immediately.
There was no point for him to stay here anyway.
He might as well return to the imperial palace.
He missed his daughter.
After all.
He had been guarding this place for three days and three nights.
He wondered if that little girl was behaving herself?
Had she cried?
Had she nursed properly?
Chen Nan felt he had changed.
Before, he had no desires.
But now.
His every thought was focused on his daughter, Chen Nan.
Upon returning to the imperial palace.
He didn't go to the Empress's chambers to see his daughter.
Instead, he returned to his own room and asked the maid to prepare hot water.
After all, he had been on the front lines for three days.
He had the scent of blood on him.
And since he was going to see his daughter, he had to bathe and change clothes.
"Empress, do you need us to help you with your bath?" the maid asked respectfully after delivering the water.
Chen Nan panicked, "Can you not..."
Before he could vent his anger.
The two maids were so scared they knelt and begged for mercy.
"Alright, alright, you can leave."
Chen Nan sighed.
They were just following orders.
There was no need to take his anger out on them.
"Brother-in-law, do you need me to help you bathe?"
As soon as the maids left.
Ling Yanran appeared behind Chen Nan as if in a whisper.
She was wearing a pure white floor-length dress, exuding an air of nobility, elegance, and cold beauty with every move.
"If you're willing, we can wash together."
"That's right, little sister said that as long as you come to Snow Country, she would be your bed warmer."
"Helping you bathe is such a small thing, what does it matter?"
Ling Yanran said, giving Chen Nan a knowing look.
"Go play somewhere else. I have hands and feet, do I need you to help me bathe?" Chen Nan snorted dismissively. Although the Empress and Ling Yanran were both beauties who could topple kingdoms.
Chen Nan didn't have much desire for them at the moment.
"Brother-in-law, you're a man of your word."
Ling Yanran pouted, stomping her foot in annoyance. "You said that as long as I came to Snow Country, you would let me be your bed warmer."
"You are now the famous Three Grandmasters of the Human Realm."
"Your strength is comparable to a Supremacy."
"How can you go back on your word?"
"Go play somewhere else."
Chen Nan sent her flying with a palm strike.
"If you dare to come in again, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Honestly speaking.
He hadn't expected to come to Snow Country himself.
If he had known earlier.
He wouldn't have said that back then.
Otherwise, Ling Yanran wouldn't be fixated on him.
Sigh!
A boy must protect himself when he's out there.
After bathing and changing.
Chen Nan put on a white robe.
Then he went to the Empress's chambers.
Three days apart.
The Empress's strength had returned to its peak.
Compared to before, she exuded a mysterious and unfathomable aura.
Even he felt wary of this aura.
Moreover.
The green plants in the chambers were growing even more vigorously than before.
He knew.
This was the effect of the Great Dao of Life.
It could influence the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the Empress was looking at her daughter in her arms with a maternal expression, a beautiful smile on her face.
Three days apart.
His daughter had clearly become even fairer and plumper.
Chen Nan was quite pleased with this.
Watching his daughter sleeping peacefully, Chen Nan looked at the Empress, "Is your milk coming in? Is there enough? Is it enough for her to eat?"
The Empress said awkwardly, "I can feel the fullness, but I don't know the quantity."
She hesitated, then mustered her courage, "I heard that if the milk is blocked, sucking it out can help unclog it. Why don't you help me suck it out?"
