Chapter 310 Calculating Mei Yun, Greedy Wolf Enters the Realm, Battle of Yunxi (Please Subscribe!)

Looking out, Taihe Lake stretches out in a vast expanse of misty waves, its surface reflecting the sky.

This once beautiful and fertile land is now filled with the desolation and ruin of a great war.

Some broken magical artifacts and uncollected corpses floated on the lake, and bloodstains stained the lake water along the shore a light brownish-red.

Only the small island in the middle of the lake in the distance is still shrouded in a hazy, ethereal atmosphere, with a few remaining pavilions and towers still faintly visible, retaining some of its former elegance.

Around the lake, only a dozen or so Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators were patrolling and cleaning up the battlefield, hoping to pick up some pills and fragments of magical artifacts left behind by others.

They spoke in hushed tones, their expressions a mixture of joy at their achievement and apprehension.

Xu Chuan remained hidden in the clouds, his gaze indifferent.

With a slight thought, an invisible and intangible spiritual power was released.

A dozen or so fine, hair-like silver needles of divine sense pierced the sea of ​​consciousness of those Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators simultaneously with unparalleled precision!

The crowd below froze abruptly, their greedy or wary expressions instantly freezing, their eyes quickly dimming, and then they collapsed silently to the ground, lifeless.

Not even the slightest sound was uttered.

After clearing out the small fry, Xu Chuan waved his sleeves again, and six array flags shot out once more, disappearing into the void surrounding Taihe Lake.

"Cloud Sky Illusion Array, activate!"

In an instant, clouds and mist rose from the lake surface and quickly spread, completely covering and sealing off the Taihe Lake area, which spanned dozens of miles.

It is now extremely difficult for outsiders to glean even a fraction of what is happening.

With the formation complete, Xu Chuan no longer hesitated and sat cross-legged in the void.

With his hands forming profound hand seals, he drew upon the dense life and death energy remaining in the area, and the "Origin Life and Death Seal" hovered above his head.

"Draw!"

With a low shout, the lingering bloodthirsty aura and the remnants of living beings were all stirred up, transforming into visible streams of black and white energy that entered the "Origin Life and Death Seal".

In addition, with a wave of his sleeve, he released the "Soul Gathering Banner," the Blood Demon King, the Profound Yin Blood Corpse, and three jade skulls, allowing them to forage for food and condense their Yin souls.

They are all third-order creations, so they should understand the principle of self-reliance and hard work.

Relying on a third-tier superior formation, even though there is a difference in manpower between the two sides, they can still hold out for two or three days without much trouble.

Taihe Lake was captured, seemingly even faster than Qianshi Forest.

It can only be said that there must have been a traitor on this side as well.

Xu Chuan took a moment to inquire about Qian Shilin's assessment and learned that it involved the Ximen family, the Wenren family, and the Luo family, but he didn't say much more.

At this time, it's normal for anyone to betray their family for the sake of survival.

No.

This doesn't quite qualify as betrayal, since they only live in Tiancang Prefecture and are not affiliated with Tiancang Sect.

At most, I was just an employee; now I've just changed bosses.

Most of the day later.

Xu Chuan headed to Tianmen Pass.

He arrived quietly, only to find that although the battle was raging, the fighting was at a stalemate.

The cultivators on both sides seemed to be using all their supernatural powers and magical treasures flying around, but in reality, they were holding back a lot, showing a lack of real effort and appearing to be tacitly slacking off.

Both sides are led by top aristocratic families in their respective prefectures, with the Nie and Chao families of the Greedy Wolf Prefecture being slightly stronger than the Mo and Lei families.

The former would occasionally annex some families to increase their family's wealth, while the latter, although they also engaged in exploitation, mostly relied on their own accumulation, and therefore their wealth was slightly inferior.

However, this does not include the case of Mo Wentian, the patriarch of the Mo family.

"They're really doing this fairly and openly," Xu Chuan couldn't help but smirk.

"Yes, that person is..."

Xu Chuan spotted a young man in the crowd from the Greedy Wolf Mansion who looked familiar. "He seems to be a guard from my Xu family. I think his name is Mei Yun?"

What is he doing here?

Xu Chuan still thought he had died in the Greedy Wolf Mansion several years ago.

"Something's wrong."

After pondering for a few breaths, Xu Chuan began to use the "Minor Astrology" to deduce Mei Yun's fate.

A few moments.

Xu Chuan's face suddenly turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He opened his eyes, his expression one of disbelief. "He has a special constitution, seemingly related to destiny. He tried to delve deeper, but was abruptly stopped by a warning from heaven."

Even if one were to calculate the Nascent Soul stage, the origins of this person would be unclear.

Unless it involves a very powerful background or significant karmic cause, this would not be the case.

"Let's leave aside his background for now, but could his special physique be some kind of spiritual body with abundant luck? But he doesn't give people a strong sense of luck."

He was able to survive safely in the Greedy Wolf Mansion for several years and even joined the Foundation Establishment team attacking the Heavenly Azure Mansion.

Is it a talent similar to seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?

"They would be a good match for the third son's family."

The eldest son, Xu Mingwei, has many outstanding talents, among whom are Xu Deling and Xu Jingwu.

The second son, Xu Mingyuan's family, produced a young sword master, Xu Chongjian. He was born with a sword bone and a clear sword mind, and his future is limitless.

Xu Mingxuan's descendants did not produce any outstanding individuals, but compared to other Golden Core families, they could still be considered geniuses.

Xu Mingshu was all alone.

Among Xu Mingxian's descendants, Xu Deyue and Xu Chongfei both have great potential.

Xu Mingqing is now married with two sons and a daughter, but he has not yet been born with any special physical condition or talent.

"A descendant of a powerful figure? Or a successor from an ancient sect?"

Xu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "Let's wait and see. If his character is acceptable, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to grant him the title of master and have his bloodline integrated into the Xu family in the future."

After regulating your breath for half an incense stick's time.

Xu Chuan transformed into a white-browed old demon with white hair and beard, and boldly rode a beam of azure light straight towards the battlefield.

The undisguised flash of light immediately drew the attention of both sides.

A Golden Core cultivator from the Lei family asked, "Fellow Daoist, who are you, and why are you here?"

Before anyone could answer, a Golden Core demonic cultivator's voice rang out from the Greedy Wolf Mansion, "It's him, White-Browed Old Demon, what's he doing in the Heavenly Azure Mansion?"

"You're a demonic cultivator from the Greedy Wolf Palace?!"

The people of Tiancang Prefecture all tensed up. He was inside the formation, and it would be easy for him to destroy it.

"White-browed Old Demon, what are you doing here?" Xiao Zhan asked, feigning surprise.

"I came from Taihe Lake. On the way, I met other fellow Daoists and heard that Qianshi Forest has also changed hands. True Monarch Qingmu has already led his disciples back to Tiancang Sect to guard it."

Immediately afterward, he said to the Golden Core cultivator surnamed Lei, "I am the White-Browed Daoist, and I come from the Xuan Yue Mansion. I am not from the Tan Lang Mansion."

I was just passing through.

"Don't be nervous. I have no intention of interfering in the battle between your Tiancang Prefecture and Tanlang Prefecture. Please continue. I will take my leave."

Having said that, without waiting for any commotion from either side, he vanished in a flash of light, showing no intention of engaging in combat.

These words are like a boulder thrown into a lake.

The people of Tiancang Prefecture were immediately thrown into panic and their formation was thrown into chaos.

"Many forces from the Greedy Wolf Mansion have already poured into the Heavenly Azure Mansion. Aren't they already looting everywhere?"

Many people are worried about their families and power.

The cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Palace were overjoyed and launched a fierce attack.

"Break through the formation with all our might! Don't let the benefits fall into the hands of others!"

After more than two hours of all-out combat, blood rained down and bodies fell like rain.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the Mo and Lei families consulted with Elder Yang of the Tiancang Sect and withdrew.

With no one to defend it, the Greedy Wolf Mansion launched a full-scale attack, and the protective array collapsed in less than half an incense stick's time!

"kill!"

Countless cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Palace surged into the pass like a tidal wave, scattering and looting in all directions.

Half an hour later.

Xu Chuan, who looked like a young man, returned to this place.

Those demonic cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion, eager to plunder the power of the Heavenly Azure Mansion, all left in haste.

Xu Chuan set up a large formation.

He devoured all the life and death energies in this place, as well as the remains of many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, and then left the place.

Half an hour later.

Suddenly, several earth-shattering roars came from the distant horizon, as if stars were collapsing.

Immediately, four rainbow-like beams of light pierced through the clouds and appeared more than ten miles above Tianmen Pass.

These were the Nascent Soul elders from both sides who had previously left the battlefield.

On the side of the Greedy Wolf Mansion, Qi Tianxiong and Tianluo Demon Lord stood in mid-air, their auras as steady as mountains, clearly indicating that they had not expended much energy in the previous chase.

In contrast, Xi Daoyun and Mo Wentian were both pale-faced and their breathing was unstable, indicating that they had suffered considerable losses.

Mo Wentian even had faint bloodstains on his lips and his clothes were slightly stained, as if he had suffered a serious internal injury.

Qi Tianxiong's gaze swept over the shattered Tianmen Pass formation and the chaotic scene around him, where traces of a great battle were everywhere.

He burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing for miles: "Hahaha! Xi Daoyun, no matter how many schemes you devise to lure us away, you'll only prolong your life by one more day!"
The Heavenly Gate Pass formation has been broken; it is likely that the same is true for Thousand Stone Forest and Taihe Lake.

Within your Tiancang Prefecture, war must be raging everywhere by now!

Xi Daoyun's face was ashen, his expression solemn, and he remained silent.

Mo Wentian suppressed his injuries, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xi Daoyun, and said in a weak voice, "Fellow Daoist Xi, things have come to this point, and there is no way to reverse the situation."

It's not that I, Mo, am unwilling to fight again; I have simply done my best.

Our agreement was that it would only end when the battle was broken.

Now, my Mo family's foundation is also in danger of being plundered. I, Mo, must return immediately. Farewell!

After speaking, without waiting for Xi Daoyun's response, he transformed into a slightly dim streak of light and hurriedly departed.

Seeing this, Xi Daoyun knew that one tree could not support the whole tree, and he was even more worried about the safety of Tiancang Sect.

Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and rode his escape light like a shooting star straight towards the Tiancang Sect.

Qi Tianxiong was full of pride and was about to call upon Tianluo Demon Lord to chase after Xi Daoyun to Tiancang Sect when he saw Tianluo Demon Lord standing there with his brows furrowed.

His powerful divine sense swept across the Tianmen Pass battlefield repeatedly, like mercury flowing across the ground.

"Brother Tianluo, is there something wrong?" Qi Tianxiong asked.

The Heavenly Demon Lord withdrew his divine sense, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "This place... seems strange."

After a bloody battle at the pass, the great formation was finally broken. Logically, the battlefield should have been littered with corpses, the air filled with blood and evil spirits, and the resentful spirits of the remaining souls lingering there.

But now, let alone a complete skeleton, it's even difficult to find a wisp of pure blood essence.

Although the remnant soul will gradually dissipate, it shouldn't be this fast.

The battlefield was excessively clean, as if it had been deliberately 'cleaned'.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianxiong sensed something amiss after a moment's thought, but he chuckled and said, "Brother Tianluo, you're overthinking it!"
Perhaps some demonic cultivators in my Greedy Wolf Mansion who practiced ghostly arts or blood refining techniques were quick-witted and cleaned up this place.

A few remnants of soul and blood, what's there to worry about?

The most urgent task at hand is to strike at the heart of the matter, head straight to the Tiancang Sect, and settle things once and for all with Old Man Xi!

This power struggle between the two governments has dragged on for quite some time.

Upon hearing this, Tianluo Demon Lord felt that the "cleaning" was too thorough and efficient, unlike what ordinary demon cultivators would do.

Seeing Qi Tianxiong's high fighting spirit, he suppressed his doubts and nodded, saying, "Brother Qi is right, let's go."

Two powerful beams of Nascent Soul light rose again, carrying overwhelming demonic power, and roared straight toward the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Chuan dared to do this so boldly because he knew the chances of being suspected were extremely low.

Anyone who sees it will only think it was the work of some Golden Core demonic cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Half a day later, Xu Chuan quietly returned to Yunxi Town.

Upon entering the mansion, they sensed the presence of Xu Deyue and the others, learning that they had also arrived just half an hour earlier.

Inside the main hall, everyone met.

"Father." Xu Mingxian bowed first, his expression respectful.

"grandfather."

"Master."

Xu Deyue and Ye Fan also greeted each other at the same time. Although they had recovered from the battle, their faces still showed signs of travel.

Master Huoyun, standing to the side, cupped his hands and smiled, his tone filled with sincere admiration: "The patriarch is indeed incredibly powerful and blessed by heaven."

"To have returned unscathed after being pursued by more than ten Golden Core demonic cultivators is truly admirable!"

Xu Chuan walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand indifferently, "Sit down, everyone. It was just luck; halfway through the chase, five demonic cultivators got bored and left on their own."

My stress has lessened a bit.

In addition, he continued to take pills to restore his magical power throughout his flight.

Finally, they found an opportunity to kill several of them, and the rest scattered and fled like frightened birds.

Upon hearing this, Master Huoyun stroked his beard and exclaimed, "Even so, the patriarch's abilities are unparalleled in both prefectures! Below the Nascent Soul stage, he should be the number one!"

"You flatter me too much." Xu Chuan shook his head slightly, his expression calm. "His words on the battlefield were mostly meant to intimidate the enemy; how could they be taken seriously?"
Xu was ultimately only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm; although he possessed some explosive power, it was difficult to sustain.

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, his tone turning solemn: "Let's leave this matter aside for now."

Given the current uncertain situation, we need to make preparations as soon as possible.

In my opinion, within a day or two, some unpleasant guests will surely arrive.

Then, he gave the order in a deep voice:

"Mingxian, you are stationed in the manor and are in full control of the protective array. There is no room for error. This is also your opportunity to prove yourself."

"Ye Fan, you are responsible for organizing all Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators in Yunxi Town, keeping them on high alert, and issuing unified commands."

"As for the enemies at the Golden Core stage..." Xu Chuan turned his gaze to Xu Deyue and Huoyun Zhenren, "then Deyue, Huoyun Zhenren, and I will deal with them."

"Yes!"

"I will obey the orders of the patriarch (grandfather/master)!"

The group clasped their hands in unison to accept the order, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became solemn. Xu Chuan returned to his courtyard to recuperate.

Then contact Xu Deling to see where she is now.

A few moments.

Xu Deling's consciousness was pulled into the "Xu Clan Grotto Heaven".

“Grandfather, you have finally contacted me. What is the current situation between the two prefectures? Will war break out? I specially took a magic boat with my second master and Ancestor Xuan Yue, and took a long detour from the Black Wind Mountains.”

Even traveling slowly, it should take a day or two to reach Tiancang Prefecture.

"Don't be impatient." Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "De Ling, you've done a great job. The situation is developing step by step as expected."

The Thousand Stone Forest, Taihe Lake, and Thousand Gate Pass were successively captured.

Our Xu family is far away, and no forces from the Greedy Wolf Sect have arrived here yet. If I'm not mistaken, the Greedy Wolf Sect's forces and some of their resources have all gathered at the Heavenly Azure Sect.

Xu Deling asked, "Then, grandfather, what should I do?"

"Go all out to Tiancang Sect. If you fail to capture Tianluo, then come to Yunxi Town. After Tiancang Sect is destroyed, my Xu family will surely be the next target."

If the Heavenly Azure Sect has not yet been breached, you should advise them to observe the situation and wait until Xi Daoyun is critically injured and on the verge of death before having Ancestor Xuan Yue intervene.

"Why not wait until Xi Daoyun dies?" Xu Deling asked, puzzled.

"If the Greedy Wolf Mansion wants to control the Heavenly Cang Mansion, then Xi Daoyun must die. But it's a pity that they will not succeed in this mission. It would be better for our Xu family to severely injure Xi Daoyun and cause heavy losses to the Heavenly Cang Sect."

Xu Deling listened quietly, and Xu Chuan continued, "Because the Mo family is still around, if the Greedy Wolf Mansion retreats, the Heavenly Cang Mansion will become dominated by the Mo family. Although it will not be easy for the Mo family to annex the Heavenly Cang Sect with its current strength."

However, if the Tiancang Sect does not have a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, it is only a matter of time before it is swallowed up.

During this period, Tiancang Prefecture will be in turmoil, and everyone will be forced to take sides. Our Xu family will inevitably be involved as well.

If the Greedy Wolf Mansion retreats, the Heavenly Cang Sect will be severely damaged. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Xi Daoyun is severely injured, Mo Wentian will not dare to act recklessly.

Both sides will tacitly maintain an agreement—to recuperate and strengthen themselves.

My Xu family can also take this opportunity to grow stronger and prepare for Mo Yue's tribulation.

Only when one's own family produces a Nascent Soul cultivator can one truly establish a foothold in Tiannan and remain unaffected by the changing times.

It is estimated that no force will dare to provoke the Mo family this time. If the Greedy Wolf Sect succeeds, it will probably be mainly to win them over, just because Mo Wentian is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After all, the Greedy Wolf Sect was pressing too hard. Mo Wentian, this newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, could simply leave on his own and start a new clan, since he has a long lifespan anyway.

If we fail to kill him, the revenge of a Nascent Soul cultivator can be extremely terrifying.

The two prefectures would be thrown into chaos, which would be detrimental to the rule of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

"Isn't Xi Daoyun the same? Aren't the sect leader of the Greedy Wolf Sect and Tian Luo afraid that he will cause trouble?" Xu Deling asked.

“That’s different.” Xu Chuan chuckled. “The Tiancang Sect is the ruler of the Tiancang Prefecture. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t easily give up their rule over the prefecture.”

Even if Xi Daoyun could truly abandon his family, sect, and everything else to escape, he could only become a rogue cultivator elsewhere. The biggest difference between him and Mo Wentian lies in their lifespans!

I had previously heard Mo Wentian mention the feud between their two families; judging by the timeline, he probably only has a few decades left to live.

"I see," Xu Deling said. "Granddaughter understands. Everything will proceed according to your plan, Grandfather."

"As for the rest, you can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes."

"Yes, grandfather."

Immediately, Xu Deling's consciousness withdrew from "Xu Clan Cave Heaven".

Above the Black Wind Mountains.

A Dharma boat sails through.

Xu Deling opened his eyes in a room inside the cabin, silently increased the speed of the magic boat, and headed straight for the Tiancang Mountain Range.

Both Yan Longzi and Zhang Fan noticed, but they both smiled slightly and ignored it.

The former only came to collect the goods for the transaction.

The latter took on disciples to verify the matter of the true demon possessing a body. If it was true, he would take action to deal with it. If it was just a human practicing the true demon race's techniques and condensing a true demon nascent soul, then he would let it do as it pleased.

Many demonic cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion traveled to the seven cities of Tiancang and Baiyun Market.

Because of the appearance of traitors such as the Wen family and the Luo family, the defensive formations of several cities in the Seven Cities collapsed without being attacked, and many Foundation Establishment families in the cities were plundered, suffering heavy losses.

Although there were no traitors in Baiyun Market, its defenses were only mid-grade third-tier arrays. They were breached by numerous Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators, and were subsequently looted extensively.

"The Xu family of Yunxi is renowned, and its wealth is said to be comparable to that of top Golden Core families. There may already be several forces attacking them. Let's go and see, maybe we can get a share of the pie."

"That's exactly what Mr. Du was thinking too!"

"Let's go together!"

The group flew towards Yunxi Town, among whom were two Golden Core demonic cultivators whom Xu Chuan had previously subdued.

----------

Outside Yunxi Town, dark clouds loomed over the city.

Several miles away, the sky was filled with a dense cloud of light, and there were seven or eight hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators standing in the air. Their robes were different, their magical artifacts were flashing, and their spiritual light was intertwined.

What's even more chilling is that the dozen or so figures floating in front of them all possessed profound auras, as imposing as mountains overlooking the abyss, and were clearly all Golden Core cultivators!

Two of them possessed an aura far surpassing the others, having clearly reached the Golden Core Perfection level.

Demonic energy and malevolent energy mingled together, soaring into the sky and darkening half the heavens.

Such a force would be enough to attack any one of the seven cities of Tiancang, but at this moment they have come only for this small Yunxi Town.

On the other hand, in Yunxi Town, the semi-transparent five-colored light curtain had been fully extended and was constantly flowing, firmly protecting the entire town.

At the edge of the light screen, Xu Chuan, Xu Deyue, and Huoyun Zhenren stood side by side, their robes fluttering, their faces calm, facing the powerful enemy in the distance.

Behind him, three or four hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yunxi Town had all taken to the air. Although their expressions were solemn, not one of them retreated. They were all on high alert, secretly raising their magical power.

In addition, there were more than 500 carefully selected Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, who flew through the air on their swords and lined up after the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"The Nie and Chao families of the Greedy Wolf Mansion?" Xu Chuan's gaze swept over them.

"I didn't expect that the renowned True Monarch Ku Rong would recognize us. We must have never met before," the Nie family head said with a faint smile.

"I thought it would be the Sima family who came here. After all, the Sima family head suffered a great loss at Qianshi Forest before, yet he didn't come to seek revenge?"

Before they could answer, Xu Chuan continued, "The Nie and Chao families are second only to the Greedy Wolf Sect and the Ancient Nether City in the Greedy Wolf Prefecture, and are among the top forces."

Instead of going to the Seven Cities of Tiancang or the Tiancang Sect, you came to my small Yunxi Town.

The wealth and resources of my Yunxi Town are probably not enough for you to divide among.

The Chao family patriarch said, "True Lord Ku Rong, how do you know we didn't go? They welcomed us very warmly and generously let us take away quite a few things."

If your Yunxi Town did the same, fewer people would die.

As for spirit stones and other resources, we can accumulate them slowly.

Do you think what I said makes sense?

“That makes sense, but in the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and you demonic cultivators follow this principle even more. I hereby declare that whoever defeats me one-on-one will be allowed to clear the way and plunder.”

The heads of the Nie and Chao families exchanged glances; both were figures no less formidable than the Heavenly Wolf True Monarch.

He was arrogant, believing he had few rivals at the Golden Core stage, and that even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't suffer a complete defeat.

At this moment, a demonic cultivator in the early Golden Core stage said, "Second patriarch, please do not agree!"

"That True Monarch Ku Rong is extremely monstrous!"

"you are?"

"My name is Liang Cheng. I was on the road to Qianshi Forest before." The man said with fear in his eyes, "On the first day, the Sima family head led four early-stage Golden Core cultivators to chase after the Ku Rong True Monarch, but only the Sima family head was seriously injured and escaped back."

The following day, the Sima family head and the five demon elders of the Greedy Wolf Sect used the Five Sons United Formation to besiege Xu Chuan, but they failed to defeat him. Instead, the formation was broken, and the Sima family head was severely injured again and fled to heal his wounds.

The True Lord of Withering and Flourishing possesses powerful divine sense techniques at the Golden Core level, and his divine sense is so strong that he is almost invincible.

In a one-on-one fight, below the Nascent Soul stage, he could be king!

Upon hearing this, Nie and Chao frowned slightly, becoming more cautious.

"Claiming to be king? That was just a joke I made. You all actually believed it?" Xu Chuan said with a faint smile. "Of course, you may leave if you wish. I will not stop you."

A few moments.

Seeing that they did not make a move, he continued, "Since you are neither going to make a move nor leave, then let me make the first move."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chuan suddenly flicked his sleeve!
"Azure Dragon Umbrella, activate!"

The precious umbrella soared into the air, radiating a brilliant azure-gold light, like a canopy descending, completely protecting his entire body.

At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed in mid-air.

"Azure Dragon of the Sword, appear!"

Twenty-four flying swords rang out, their sword energy soaring into the sky. In an instant, they intertwined and entwined, transforming into a dozen-foot-long azure dragon with gleaming scales and lightning-like eyes!
As the dragon's body swayed, its fierce and unparalleled sword intent swept in all directions. The overwhelming pressure caused the dozen or so Golden Core demon cultivators in front of it to change color!

The heads of the Nie and Chao families, who were the first to be affected, were terrified.

Before the sword dragon even arrived, its sharp aura had already caused their magical shields to fluctuate wildly!
"Join forces!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two roared as the ghostly flames of the Soul-Destroying Axe surged and the Hundred Ghost Banner echoed with the howls of ten thousand souls. One on the left and one on the right, they joined forces to meet the roaring Azure Dragon of Sword!
boom--! ! !
A deafening roar erupted, and sword energy, demonic fire, and ghostly aura raged wildly.

Seeing that the two family heads were completely suppressed, the other Golden Core demon cultivators were eager to step forward and help.

"cut!"

Xu Deyue let out a clear shout, and the "Taiyin" flying sword was suddenly drawn, its cold, moon-like sword light surging forth.

Although she was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, her extremely refined sword intent and Taiyin cold energy complemented each other, unleashing a terrifying power no less than that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

A single sword strike blocked two early-stage and mid-stage Golden Core demonic cultivators who were attempting a sneak attack!

"I'll join in the fun too!"

Master Huoyun laughed loudly, and his crimson gourd spewed out raging flames, transforming into a ferocious fire python that actively entangled a mid-stage Golden Core opponent.

At the same time, the array in Yunxi Town flashed with brilliant light.

"The Five Elements revolve, by imperial decree!"

Xu Mingxian activated his full power within the mansion, and the five elements of spiritual energy each converged into a five-element spell, which fiercely struck at the five early-stage Golden Core demonic cultivators.

The great war has completely broken out!

Nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators clashed violently, unleashing a deluge of magical artifacts and spells.

Since there are few Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yunxi Town, cultivators at the Qi Refining Perfection stage release flying swords and talismans from afar to provide assistance.

The two family heads, Nie and Chao, were indeed True Monarch-level experts at the Golden Core Perfection stage. Even the Azure Dragon Sword could hardly be effective against them when they joined forces.

The main reason is that both of their magical treasures are top-grade, and their power is inherently strong.

boom! boom! boom!
High in the sky, bursts of energy erupted one after another, tearing apart the clouds and revealing the clear blue sky.

Xu Chuan's mind raced. He knew that neither of the two family heads, Nie and Chao, were easy opponents. If the battle dragged on, his early-stage Golden Core cultivation would likely be difficult to sustain.

However, that divine sense technique is somewhat insufficient to pose a threat to cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

After all, his spiritual strength had not yet reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Instead of getting bogged down in a fight, let's kill those five first!"

Xu Mingxian's attack with the array was only slightly entangled. This array was only a low-grade third-order array, and no matter how exquisitely it was controlled, it was ultimately unable to overcome the weakness of insufficient power.

If it takes too long, it will surely be broken.

At that time, the entire situation will only be a scene of utter defeat!

Thinking of this, he immediately diverted half of his mind, and invisible ripples spread across his sea of ​​consciousness!

"Go, Shocking Thorn!"

Five incredibly refined silver needles of divine sense silently traversed the void and suddenly pierced the sea of ​​consciousness of the five early-stage Golden Core demonic cultivators who were being restrained by Xu Mingxian's array!

"Ugh—!"

Caught off guard, the five felt as if their souls had been struck by a heavy hammer, screaming in agony as their bodies trembled violently and their protective aura dimmed instantly.

Xu Mingxian seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Xu Chuan also resolutely dispersed the Azure Dragon of the Sword, and the twenty-four flying swords suddenly separated.

He activated the Azure Dragon Umbrella above his head with all his might, causing the azure-gold light barrier to surge, forcefully meeting the giant axe of ghostly flames cleaved down by the Nie family patriarch and the torrent of hundreds of ghosts swept up by the Chao family patriarch!
At the same time, he activated his hand seals, and the fifteen flying swords, as if receiving a command, transformed into a fierce and unparalleled torrent of sword light, heading straight for the five Golden Core demon cultivators whose souls were injured!
"Watch out!" The head of the Nie family was shocked and furious, but it was too late to help.

As the sword swept past, three demonic cultivators, who hadn't even had time to unleash their defensive magic treasures, were torn to shreds by the sword's aura, their bodies and souls annihilated!

The other two, thanks to the automatic protection of their protective magic treasures, barely managed to block the fatal blow, but they also coughed up blood and flew backward like kites with broken strings, their auras instantly weakening!
Their defensive magic items have lost their luster and can no longer actively defend themselves.

At this moment, Xu Mingxian's grand formation attack descended, engulfing the two of them.

In just one or two breaths, the five Golden Core demon cultivators perished.

"Damn it, break it!"

The two heads of the Nie and Chao families shouted loudly, their magical power surging, causing the magic weapon's power to increase dramatically!
The light screen hanging from the Azure Dragon Umbrella twisted violently, emitting a mournful cry of being unable to bear the weight, and several clear cracks were blasted out on it!

Xu Chuan's body trembled violently, his face turned pale, and a trickle of crimson blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that his internal organs had been shaken.

He used the momentum to fly back dozens of feet and regain his footing.

Then, the body's vital energy circulated, and in just a few breaths, the minor internal organ injury was completely healed.

Xu Chuan controls the cycle of life and death, and understands life and death. His body's self-healing ability is far superior to that of powerful demonic beasts like the Flood Dragon.

It's easier to exhaust his magical power and spiritual consciousness than to severely damage his physical body.

With the five Golden Core demonic cultivators gone, Xu Mingxian immediately manipulated the formation to attack the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators of the Greedy Wolf Mansion, greatly reducing the pressure on the people of Yunxi Town.
In just a short while, more than a dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators and six or seven Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have died.

Of course, the other side died even more.

Ye Fan charged straight into the enemy camp, taking down Foundation Establishment cultivators with a single punch without batting an eye.

After killing more than twenty people, they turned back.

Charge again, then turn back!
Ye Fan's strength at this moment is almost at the Golden Core stage, making him much stronger than Xu Deling and the others at the Gathering of Prodigies.

For those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, this is practically an unfair advantage.

The two Golden Core demon cultivators who fought Xu Deyue, as well as Huo Yun Zhenren's opponent, were filled with fear upon seeing how easily Xu Chuan killed early and mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, and immediately withdrew and stayed away.

“I knew that in the place where True Monarch Ku Rong was, there would always be several early-stage Golden Core cultivators who would perish. With his divine sense secret technique, he could kill early and mid-stage Golden Core cultivators as easily as taking something out of a bag.”

Liang Cheng sighed and said, "That Ye Fan is also a monster. Back then, he killed one or two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators all by himself in Thousand Stone Forest."

After half a stick of incense.

More than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion perished; they were all terrified and chose to stay away.

The entire battlefield was now reduced to a battle between the two clan heads, Xu Chuan and Nie Chao.

Without any interference, Xu Chuan fully activated the Azure Dragon Sword and engaged the two in combat.

More than half an hour later.

Several more Golden Core cultivators arrived and were surprised to see that everyone else was watching while only Xu Chuan and his two companions were fighting.

Are they all so law-abiding?
You won't attack unless the commander falls, right?
Upon hearing what Liang Cheng said, the group unconsciously shrank back and obediently stood side by side with the other three Golden Core cultivators.
