Chapter 822 822: This Is the Warrior You Chose?
Within the Grand Demon Palace, all members of the Demon Race were completely bewildered, utterly confused.Brother Cheng issued a command.
"Summon Que Mi to gather with the Sparrow Race!"
Sparrow Race?
The Demon Emperors rolled their eyes helplessly.
In the last grand battle, the Sparrow Race received quite a bit of benefits.
However, this wasn't due to their fierce combat prowess, but because they were the 'favored ministers' beside the Demon Lord, greatly cherished by Brother Cheng.
Given their small numbers and low power, no matter how they bounced around, they couldn't affect anything, so everyone just turned a blind eye and pretended they didn't exist.
Lately, thanks to the massive resources they received, their lowly realm managed to inch forward a bit.
After all, most sparrow demons have extremely poor talent.
Most of them still hover around the Celestial Immortal and Profound Immortal, with few reaching the Golden Immortal Demon Venerable.
A moment later, nearly a thousand flamboyant sparrow demons arrived here in grandeur, led by Que Mi.
"Greetings, Master of Grand Demon!"
"The Master of Grand Demon has become more handsome again..."
"Not seeing the Demon Lord for a day makes life dull and tasteless..."
After a round of routine flattery, Que Mi, who had broken through from mid-stage Quasi-Emperor to late-stage Quasi-Emperor, scooted forward.
"Are we summoned here for another battle this time?"
"As long as the Demon Lord gives the order, our Sparrow Race is willing to dive into peril and stand at the forefront, sacrificing for the Demon Realm!"
All the bigwigs of the Demon Realm twitched at the corners of their mouths.
With flatterers in charge, the realm is no realm!
For crying out loud, you've taken all the praise.
With your Sparrow Race's combat power, even if there were any vanguard suicide squads, it wouldn't come down to you!
Are you worthy?
Sending a bunch of Celestial Immortal Profound Immortals to charge ahead, only to be annihilated effortlessly by the opponent—doesn't the Demon Realm care about face?
Que Mi was pretending because he knew Jiang Cheng didn't need him to fight.
"This time I've gathered you here for a difficult mission to assign to you!"
As soon as Brother Cheng finished speaking, a sea of volunteers emerged below.
"No need to say any more!"
"The Demon Lord can just give the order, and our Sparrow Race is always ready to charge!"
"The tougher the mission, the better!"
"If it's not tough, you're looking down on our Sparrow Race!"
"Don't mention one task, what about a hundred?"
Que Mi Quasi-Emperor raised his head high and spoke generously.
"My Sparrow Race never has any cowards, all are battle warriors, known as a fighting tribe!"
The Demon Emperors were constipated, this giant boastful spectacle of sycophants made them feel as if their intelligence was being insulted.
Brother Cheng, however, was very pleased.
"Not bad, not bad, truly a tribe I favor."
"This mission isn't complicated."
"It's not extremely dangerous either."
"It's just that the place to run might be a bit far..."
Que Mi knew the Demon Lord wouldn't send their Sparrow Race to battle, so he was even more assured, flapping his wings loudly.
"What's that? For our Sparrow Race, if nothing else, travel is our forte!"
"Exactly, the advantage of flying creatures lies right here!"
"Demon Lord, please instruct!"
"We can't wait to join new battles."
"Indeed, not fighting a day makes us uncomfortable all over!"
Brother Cheng pressed his hands down again, signaling everyone to restrain their enthusiasm and calm down first.
"I need to send a sparrow demon across the line to the Immortal and Demon Realms."
Que Mi froze, this sounded like not just a bit far, but a billion times far?
"Uh, what's the purpose of sending them over, to scout for intelligence?"
This seemed too dangerous!
"For such an insignificant task like scouting, why would I send you?"
Brother Cheng shook his head and smiled: "It's like this, recently the Immortal and Demon Realms have blocked the entrance to the Profound Realm, cutting off our trade route."
"I need to send a sparrow demon over to kill or drive away those blocking the entrance of Immortal and Demon, and reopen that entrance."
As soon as he said this, nearly all demon races on the scene almost spewed out simultaneously.
Is this a joke, this mission not dangerous?
It's a ten-death-no-life scenario right?
You call this a warrior, a sparrow demon?
Sending a sparrow demon to resolve the blockade of the Immortal and Demon Realms?
Forget about sparrow demons, even sending the Ice Phoenix Emperor would be nine deaths and one life, completely impossible to succeed!
"This... only sending one sparrow demon?" Que Mi shivered a bit.
"Exactly!"
Brother Cheng solemnly: "This mission concerns the future of the entire Demon Realm, though difficult, it's also glorious!"
"Whoever accepts this mission will be a great hero of the Demon Realm, and will be honored for billions of years!"
Brother Cheng patted the dazed Que Mi.
"Such a great chance to gain fame, how could I leave it to others, of course, I'll entrust it to my most trusted heart!"
All sparrow demons were silent.
Where's the chance to gain fame here, it's a chance to die!
And certainly no chance of survival, without any luck!
Forget reopening the entrance; a sparrow demon flying over the line into the Immortal and Demon Realms wouldn't even be able to reach the entrance alive.
Along the way, a random Immortal Demon Cultivator might just kill her.
Sure, they were loyal to Brother Cheng, but this blatantly foolish act of sending themselves to death would ultimately be resisted.
"How come, weren't you all shouting enthusiastically earlier?"
"Why so silent now?"
Brother Cheng couldn't help but frown.
"Such a great chance to gain fame, and yet you still yield?"
"If I could go, wouldn't let you go, I'd be so envious of you!"
The sparrow demons wore bitter faces, Que Mi especially looked distressed.
He could only negotiate: "Indeed this mission isn't complex, but the chance of dying is too high, isn't it?"
"We really can't do it..."
"Demon Lord, if you want to kill one of us, just say it..."
"Indeed, we'd rather kill ourselves publicly than be slaughtered by Immortal Demons."
Elder Cyan Dragon and Ice Phoenix Emperor couldn't take it anymore.
"Alright, alright, you are the dignified Demon Lord, why bother them?"
"Enough playing, let's focus on serious business."
Brother Cheng chuckled helplessly, what's this all about.
"Playing what, I'm doing serious business now! Why would I harm them?"
"This time there's no forcing, purely voluntary."
"Such a great chance to be recorded in history, truly no one eager to sign up?"
The sparrow demons looked at each other, and eventually, a Seven-Colored Sparrow cautiously raised her wing.
"I'm willing to go, I'm willing to die for the Demon Lord!"
Brother Cheng, delighted, promptly brought this Seven-Colored Sparrow up.
After a quick look, she was only a sixth-grade Celestial Immortal in cultivation, but he cared little about that.
"Rest assured, how could I bear to let you die?"
He stroked the head of the Seven-Colored Sparrow, smiling gently as he asked: "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, I'm called Cai Ying!" The Seven-Colored Sparrow's eyes were full of the heroic resolve to die bravely.
Brother Cheng nodded, then solemnly looked around at all the demons present.
"Remember this historic moment, the name of Cai Ying will start to pass down from this moment!"
