Master Tianyun frowned, looked at Hongying Yuanjun, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Sect Master Yun suddenly make such a decision? Is there some unusual activity by the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture?"

"The demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture have indeed encountered some changes. Xuehe may break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the near future," Hongying Yuanjun said in a deep voice.

Blood River is one of the four late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivators of the Yuanshui Demon Sect. It took him a shorter time to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm than Pure Water Illusion Demon, but his talent is incomparable to Pure Water Illusion Demon's.

Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture are stronger than Mengyuan Prefecture, and they also have the ability to investigate the situation of the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture.

The news that Xuehe was about to break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm was discovered by cultivators from Yunhai Prefecture, as Yunhai Sect was quite adept at gathering information.

Currently, the demonic cultivators of the three states of Mengyuan are somewhat inferior to those of Qianyuan. If Xuehe successfully breaks through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, then the power of the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan will completely suppress the three states of Mengyuan.

Therefore, they must do everything they can to prevent Blood River from breaking through!
Mengyuan Prefecture was the weakest, and it happened to be attacked by the demonic cultivators led by Jingshui Huanmo. Therefore, the cultivators of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture allowed the cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture to completely restrain the Nascent Soul demonic cultivators such as Jingshui Huanmo, preventing them from withdrawing from Mengyuan Prefecture.

During this period, cultivators from Yunhai Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture will do their best to attack the Blood River.

Even if we can't kill Xuehe, we must severely injure him and ruin his chances of breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The moment the Crimson Cherry Sovereign released this news, the expressions of the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder and the Heavenly Cloud Venerable, among other Nascent Soul cultivators, changed drastically.

They were well aware of what it would mean if Qian Yuan Prefecture had one more demonic cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Sect Master Yun, what should we do if the cultivators from Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture cannot stop the Blood River?"

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laozu looked at Hongying Yuanjun with solemn expressions. Their Mengyuan Prefecture was the weakest in the Three Prefectures Alliance, and the cultivation method they practiced had always been classified as heretical.

Before the emergence of demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture, Mengyuan Prefecture had always been the target of Yunhai Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture.

Even now, there is still a divide between the three states.

The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture were always aware of their situation, which is why he had been tempting them to switch to demonic cultivation.

Switching to the demonic path is not an easy thing, especially for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

If they are not careful, their lives could be in danger during the transfer and repair process.

Even if they successfully switch to other skills, their strength will be significantly weakened.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Nascent Soul cultivators will never switch to demonic cultivation.

The fact that Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren are asking these questions now indicates that they have the idea of ​​switching to the demonic path.

Xuehe is a demonic cultivator from the Yuanshui Demon Sect. If he were to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he would definitely choose to do so within the Yuanshui Demon Sect.

The Yuanshui Demon Sect is the stronghold of demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture. Although the cultivation levels of Yuanshui Old Mother and White Wolf Emperor are similar, Yuanshui Old Mother is slightly stronger than White Wolf Emperor.

With Xuehe hiding in the Yuanshui Demon Sect and refusing to come out, the cultivators of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Sect were completely unable to do anything to him.

It was precisely for this reason that Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren felt such despair.

"We'll discuss what you're talking about after Blood River truly breaks through. Our main task right now is to stop the Pure Water Illusion Demon!"

Hongying Yuanjun glanced at Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, and said in a deep voice, "Although the strength of the Nascent Soul demon cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture, such as Jingshui Huanmo, is stronger than ours, our goal is not to kill them, but simply to keep them occupied!"

This was also the requirement set by the cultivators of Yunhai Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture; their task was to hold back the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators such as the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

They don't need to get involved in resolving the Blood River issue.

If Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture truly cannot prevent Xuehe from breaking through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm, then it will not be too late for them to consider further matters.

"That's the meaning of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture. We will set off for Black Crow Mountain shortly!" Hongying Yuanjun said in a deep voice.

She had only recently received news from Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture, but the decision to set off now to attack the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators, including the Pure Water Illusion Demon, was made by herself.

Their strength was weaker than that of the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators like the Pure Water Illusion Demon, and they had been preparing for a passive defense. She believed that the Pure Water Illusion Demon and the other Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators would never have expected them to launch an attack.

If they are caught off guard, they might be able to inflict significant damage on Nascent Soul cultivators like the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

But since the Red Cherry Blossom Queen has made her decision, they will not openly rebel.

After pondering for a moment, Master Tianyun sent a message to Lu Cheng'an, instructing him to join them on their journey to Black Crow Mountain.

Master Tianyun did not tell Lu Cheng'an that Xuehe was about to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, because he was worried that Lu Cheng'an would leave their Yinhua Sect immediately after learning the news.

Hongying Yuanjun didn't give Tianyun Shangren and the other Nascent Soul cultivators much time to think. After telling Tianyun Shangren about the Blood River for a moment, she directly led Tianyun Shangren and the other Nascent Soul cultivators away from Black Rock City.

In Lu Cheng'an's cave in Black Rock City.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator who just arrived in Mengyuan Prefecture is already attacking a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator from Qianyuan Prefecture?"

After seeing the message sent to him by Master Tianyun, Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, because according to the information he had, Mengyuan Prefecture did not have the ability to launch an attack.

"Could it be that the Yin Hua Sect is hiding something from me? Do the three sects of the Yin Hua Sect have some other tricks up their sleeves?"

After frowning and thinking for a while, Lu Cheng'an sensed that the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Tianyun Shangren, were beginning to leave Black Rock City.

He didn't know enough about the three sects of Yin Hua Sect yet, and knew that he wouldn't be able to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, so he stopped thinking about it.

After making some preparations, they followed the instructions given by Master Tianyun and left Black Rock City.

The Black Crow Mountain, where the demonic cultivators of the Transformation Realm of Qianyuan Prefecture were stationed, was not far from Black Rock City. Tianyun Shangren and the other demonic cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture were preparing for a surprise attack, so their speed was extremely fast.

In a short while, they arrived at Black Crow Mountain, where the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture were stationed.

"Do it!"

Hongying Yuanjun let out a low shout and offered up a branch of red peach blossoms.

The red peach blossoms trembled slightly, and in an instant, pink mist surged out from them, transforming into two ribbons of mist that shot towards Black Crow Mountain like lightning.

A moment later, accompanied by a violent roar, the two pink ribbons destroyed most of Black Crow Mountain.

At the same time, more than a dozen extremely terrifying auras roared out from the destroyed Black Crow Mountain.

"Hongying, you're all asking for death!"

A female cultivator dressed in a light blue dress spoke out coldly, her gaze fixed on Hongying Yuanjun, and she summoned a jade-colored pipa.

As the melodious sound of the pipa rang out, a patch of azure cloud appeared behind the female cultivator, quickly enveloping the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Hongying Yuanjun, as they approached.

This female cultivator is the Pure Water Illusion Demon, with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level. She is skilled at creating illusions and controlling them to kill people.

Behind the Pure Water Illusion Demon were fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators, one of whom, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and was somewhat weakened. This person had been injured by the Crimson Cherry Yuanjun in a moment of carelessness. There was a considerable gap in strength between him and the Crimson Cherry Yuanjun, and his injuries were now extremely serious.

"kill!"

The Pure Water Illusion Demon coldly rebuked, and the sound of her pipa changed, sending several cyan sound blades flying up and slashing down towards the Crimson Cherry Sovereign.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators behind the Pure Water Illusion Demon also launched an attack on Tianyun Shangren and the others.

The number of Nascent Soul demon cultivators exceeds that of Nascent Soul cultivators like Tianyun Shangren, so some powerful cultivators need to withstand the attacks of two Nascent Soul demon cultivators on their own.

Biluo Yuanjun was a skilled cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but she faced only one enemy.

This person is Cheng Jingying, whom Biluo Yuanjun mentioned to Lu Cheng'an before.

Cheng Jingying's strength is comparable to that of Biluo Yuanjun. The two have fought before, but neither of them could gain the upper hand.

This time, Biluo Yuanjun took the initiative to attack Cheng Jingying, and the two, who already had a grudge, quickly became entangled in a battle.

"They've already started fighting!"

Lu Cheng'an followed closely behind Master Tianyun and the others as they left Black Rock City, though he lagged slightly behind Master Tianyun.

He only continued forward after sensing that the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Tianyun Shangren, were attacking the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture. However, he still did not reveal his whereabouts or make a move immediately.

After observing secretly for a moment, Lu Cheng'an suddenly heard a roar.

"Xu Luqing, you definitely have a problem!"

"Damn it, you were on guard against me all along, but it's no use. You're all going to die here this time!"

The two people speaking were both cultivators from the Desire Spirit Sect. They were Xu Luqing and Wen Muyu, both of whom were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This time, the Desire Spirit Sect dispatched five cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, but only Xu Luqing and Wen Muyu were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Now that Xu Luqing has betrayed them, Wen Muyu and Xu Luqing are fighting each other, and Mengyuan Prefecture has lost two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in a short time.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators on Mengyuan Prefecture was already less than that of Nascent Soul demon cultivators, and now they were at a disadvantage.

"Red Cherry, stop resisting! Join my sect and you may save your lives!" Pure Water Illusion Demon laughed and urged Red Cherry Yuanjun to surrender.

A chilling expression appeared on Hongying Yuanjun's face as she swiftly summoned two cyan-gold talismans.

Both of these talismans are top-grade fourth-tier Azure Thunder God Annihilation Talismans, with extremely terrifying destructive power, comparable to a full-force attack from a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Water Demon's face showed fear, and he immediately summoned a blue water mirror.

This cyan water mirror is a top-grade fourth-tier secret treasure. It contains an attack from the Primordial Water Mother and is the life-saving item for the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

A moment later, accompanied by a cracking sound, the cyan water mirror shattered, but the power of the two cyan thunder god destruction talismans was also mostly consumed.

Even so, the remaining power is still extremely terrifying.

Even though the Water Purification Demon tried its best to resist, it still suffered serious injuries.

"withdraw!"

The Water Demon's face darkened, and he chose to retreat without hesitation.

She only has half her strength left, so she can continue to fight Hongying Yuanjun.

However, she had an extremely dangerous feeling in her heart. If she continued to fight against Hongying Yuanjun, her life might be in danger.

However, Hongying Yuanjun did not want to let the Pure Water Illusion Demon leave so easily. She summoned the peach blossom and quickly attacked the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

Lu Cheng'an remains hidden in the shadows, having not yet made a move to help Biluo Yuanjun.

He looked in the direction where Hongying Yuanjun and Jingshui Huanmo were, his brows furrowing slightly.

"There are cultivators hiding in the shadows!"

Lu Cheng'an tried his best to conceal his aura. He did not find where the hidden cultivators were hiding, but he had a feeling about it.

Moreover, he was certain that the hidden cultivator belonged to the Mengyuan Prefecture.

Just as Lu Cheng'an was pondering, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar, and then saw a silver magic sword fly out, piercing towards the Pure Water Illusion Demon who was fighting with the Red Cherry Yuanjun.

"Zixiao!"

The Water Demon roared in fury, blood gushing from her mouth, the sword wounds aggravating her injuries once again.

"It is I, Jing Shui! You demons will all perish here today!"

With a roar, the Purple Cloud Ancestor unleashed a thunderous sound as the silver magic sword once again attacked the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

"Hongying, I'll take care of the clean water. You go and help the others!"

As the Purple Cloud Ancestor spoke, he quickly condensed a magic seal, and in an instant, countless bolts of lightning appeared, continuously bombarding the body of the Pure Water Illusion Demon.

Ancestor Zixiao came from the Wanlei Sect. His cultivation was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but his strength far surpassed that of Hongying Yuanjun and Jingshui Huanmo.

Pure Water Illusion Demon was no match for Purple Cloud Ancestor to begin with, and after suffering repeated heavy injuries, her current combat power is less than half of her peak strength, making her no match for Purple Cloud Ancestor at all.

After making her move, Hongying Yuanjun Teng attacked the traitorous Xu Luqing.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Dreamland, including Hongying Yuanjun, had long known that there was a traitor among them, and they also vaguely guessed that Xu Luqing was that traitor.

However, they haven't made a decision yet.

The information that Hongying Yuanjun revealed earlier was a deliberate attempt to provoke Xu Luqing into making a move. The fact that Tianyun Shangren and other Yinhua Sect cultivators did not expose Lu Cheng'an's existence was also due to this consideration.

The Crimson Cherry Blossom Goddess was cold and aloof, and the peach blossom kept striking Xu Luqing.

Xu Luqing is extremely powerful. She had previously injured Wen Muyu, who was also at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, she was far from being a match for Hongying Yuanjun, since there was a difference in their cultivation levels.

"The situation in Mengyuan Prefecture is much more complicated than I imagined!"

Lu Cheng'an glanced at the battle between Hongying Yuanjun and Xu Luqing, then turned his attention back to Biluo Yuanjun and Cheng Jingying.

The two sides have only been fighting for a short time. Biluo Yuanjun and Cheng Jingying are evenly matched in strength, and neither of them is seriously injured. It will take a long time to determine a winner.

"Fellow Daoist Biluo, I am about to make my move. Be prepared for a fatal blow!" (End of Chapter)
