"Husband, quickly, come and help us! This Celestial Demon goes by the name of Nine-Headed Demon Monarch. He likely seized the opportunity while you were heading to the Wanlong Immortal Dynasty, hoping to sneak into Moling City to assassinate key figures of our side. He never expected your Spirit Ice Cicada to detect him first. Your five Spirit Insects activated the defensive grand formation and engaged him in battle, and our Dragon clan forces just happened to arrive and join the fray."
Yelin had indeed left behind five Spirit Insects to guard Moling City when he departed. Currently, only two of those insects were engaged in battle with the Mid Deity Transformation Demon, while the other three were stationed at different directions around the city to prevent the Celestial Demons from using a diversionary tactic.
Yelin had long anticipated that the Celestial Demons would launch a surprise attack during his absence. After all, the Celestial Demons already present on the Myriad Nations Continent were merely the vanguard of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. They would not sit idly by and watch Yelin successfully unite all races. If they could disrupt the ranks of Yelin's side before the main Heavenly Demon Tribulation arrived, the Great Celestial Demon Commander would surely reward them handsomely once the full army descended.
