Mysterious mirror hanging high

Not long after, after everyone had rested for a while, the mid-stage foundation-building cultivator who had gone to the Houtu Sect's mountain gate returned to Zuowang Peak with a slightly happy look on his face:

"I have already reported the situation of this battle to the Righteous Alliance. The Immortals highly praised you fellow Daoists for defending Zuowang Peak..."

"It is said that the Tiannan Demonic Sect launched an almost simultaneous attack on over seventy immortal mountains. We lost thirty-seven of them, and the remaining peaks also suffered heavy casualties. We only lost two fellow Taoists on Zuowang Peak, making it one of the immortal mountains that suffered the least damage."

"This large-scale attack was caused by the two rare treasures developed by the Tiannan demon cultivators. One is called the [Demon Cloud Cover], which can hide dozens of cultivators within the demon cloud, transforming them into ordinary clouds, restraining their aura and concealing their movements, making them impossible to defend against..."

"The second treasure is called the Demagnetizing Bead. It can temporarily counteract the magnetic force of the Ji Tu Yi Qi Locking Sky Array, allowing cultivators in a certain area to temporarily fly. However, this item is consumable and will break after a short time. It's a blessing in disguise."

"Our masters are currently discussing countermeasures and working out a countermeasure as quickly as possible. Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry."

"This time, we won a great victory. I don't know how many demon leaders we killed. Anyway, we have greatly thwarted the arrogance of this group of demon cultivators!"

As for how many demon cultivators were killed or injured in the opposing camp, it was impossible to count them in the chaotic battle just now. It was not like our own camp where we could just count the number of people and know how many were killed.

Besides, counting the number of enemies killed is a sensitive topic. After all, the enemy's spoils of war are privately owned. If you, the Righteous Alliance, count this, it will somewhat mislead people into thinking that the Alliance intends to ask the monks to hand over the spoils of war.

Anyway, the ultimate goal of the Righteous Alliance is just to defend the fairy mountain with the eye of the formation. As for how many people died on the other side, it doesn't matter. After all, apart from the two Yuanying-level forces of the Tang Family and the Beast Taming Sect, there are many independent cultivators in the Tiannan Demon Realm who are willing to participate in this battle. These demon cultivators who come to the Yunchuan Realm to try to get a piece of the pie are just like a bunch of leeks, which can never be harvested cleanly.

The cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building said with joy, "We have defended Zuowang Peak this time. Immortal gave us a lot of rewards. Part of it will be used as spiritual funds to support the two fellow Taoists who unfortunately passed away. I will send it back to my family in the rear. The rest will be divided among you!"

In fact, the so-called spiritual resources reward were nothing more than some elixirs for healing or cultivation, as well as a number of spirit stones. On average, each cultivator would only get a dozen or so spirit stones. For a foundation-building cultivator, it was better than nothing. But after all, it was free, so everyone accepted it happily.

Jing Yu weighed the dozen or so low-grade spirit stones in his hand and sighed inwardly, "The demonic cultivators often say that my sect is full of hypocrites. But after all, it's better to have rules than not to have any. If a cultivator dies on the front lines, their families back home can at least get some kind of compensation. Not to mention how they exploit low-level cultivators in secret, at least they act more politely in public!"

"What if those demonic cultivators died? No, let alone died, even if they were seriously injured and carried back, if they had no background, they would be torn apart, skinned, and their souls refined..."

"The land of righteousness is still suitable for development. I wonder when this war between good and evil will end."

Jing Yu had been practicing peacefully for many years and had long since adapted to the environment of the righteous path. At this time, his disgust for the evil cultivators had gradually reached its peak. The thought of leaving had faded a little. He only wanted to kill more evil cultivators while ensuring his own safety and to the best of his ability, and contribute to the battle between good and evil.

The next step was to wait for the next transfer order. In this large-scale surprise attack by the demon cultivators, the Houtu Sect lost thirty-seven immortal mountains at once. In addition to the situation where the entire army was annihilated, many teams withdrew with heavy losses, and then they had to be disbanded and assigned to guard the remaining immortal mountains.

Although the loss at Zuwang Peak was not great, two people were killed, so they should be able to get some fresh blood.

Afterwards, the foundation-building cultivators did not return directly to their temporary caves, but simply held a small exchange meeting on the top of Zuwang Peak to share the spoils of war they had just seized from the demon cultivators and to find out what was missing.

Jing Yu also took the opportunity to sell several unused magic tools of the magic cultivators in exchange for some magical herbs and unconventional pill recipes, and his image as an alchemist remained intact.

Even Li Ci, who originally had no magical weapons and came here just to die, borrowed some spirit stones from Guan Zhen in exchange for a small shield. I wonder if it can protect this old bone.

After the exchange ended, Jing Yu returned to his temporary cave dwelling within the mountain of Zuowang Peak. He took out the [Spiritual Stone Embryo] and probed it with his divine sense. In an instant, his divine sense escaped into the [Great Illusionary Realm]...

The Fantasy World

Wearing a tortoise shell mask, Jing Yu looked up at the scene in this divine cave. The outside was still gray, but the space without fog was not small, and there were many magnificent buildings. The tower in the center was even taller and more majestic.

In recent years, as the number of members of [Tianming Tower] has gradually increased, the amount of divine consciousness invested in [Taixu Illusion Realm] every month has increased rapidly, which has greatly accelerated the evolution of this space and has now expanded to an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius.

Jing Yu ignored the other buildings and walked straight to the tallest tower in the center and came to the tavern on the first floor.

This tavern is much more spacious than when Jing Yu first came here. It can accommodate thousands of people. Even though there are no scheduled activities, there are still dozens of people resting in the tavern. They all wear different masks. Some of them nodded and greeted Jing Yu when they saw him.

Jing Yu nodded in response one by one, and then walked to a wine table. At this time, there was already someone sitting at the table. It was a thin woman wearing a red robe, a fiery red feather hair accessory, a fire fox mask, and a red robe.

"Fellow Daoist Yiyuan!"

The woman with the fire fox mask whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Fellow Daoist Diyi, each wine table here is an independent space with built-in sound insulation, so you don't have to be so careful." Jing Yu said with a smile.

The woman codenamed [Emperor's Descendant] seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly saying, "Can't the landlords hear it?"

Jing Yu laughed: "Don't worry, Tianming Tower still has some credibility. This matter has already been verified by fellow Taoists using reliable methods. It's guaranteed."

The [Emperor's Descendant] was clearly relieved and finally changed his address: "Uncle! You asked me to inquire about the news of [Bai Xiao], and I have asked one by one, and I was just about to explain it to you."

This person is Zhao Yuanxi who was pulled into [Tianming Tower] by Jing Yu!

When Jing Yu learned that Zhao Yuanxi had come up with the codename "Descendant of the Emperor", he was stunned for a moment. After all, those who dared to call themselves descendants of the Emperor in the world of immortal cultivation were nothing more than the bloodline left over from the Shending Immortal Dynasty! Most people would immediately think of the Shending Immortal Dynasty.

But then again, can't the descendants of the ordinary Zhao royal heirs be considered imperial descendants?
