In his later years, he was backstabbed by his third wife, and he awakened the Wei Xiaobao system

The autumn wind blew across the ancient plain, and the sky was filled with yellow sand. The thick demonic aura was like invisible ink, dyeing the originally golden sand into a strange purple-black color.

At the eastern foot of the Black Abyss, one hundred thousand Northern Wilderness monks were on high alert, looking very aggressive.

The "Dragon Guards" of Zhenlong Valley are dressed in heavy black armor, with a cold light flickering on the armor. They hold long spears engraved with spirit gathering array patterns, with the tips of the spears shining coldly. They form an indestructible shield wall in the front, like a Great Wall of Steel.

The "Zhentian Guards" of the Yutian Divine Sect piloted majestic flying warships, which cut through the sky and methodically laid down 360 lightning nets in the sky. The lightning flashed, as if to tear the sky apart, which was very deterrent.

The disciples of the Skyfire Alchemy Alliance carried a huge alchemy furnace on their shoulders. The dancing earth fire in the furnace was extremely hot. The rolling heat waves distorted the air and baked hideous cracks in the desert beneath their feet.

The Xuanyang Daoist sect's monks lined up neatly in the rear, chanting the "Taichu Purification Sutra." The solemn and reverent sounds of the scripture intertwined, transforming into golden light and condensing into lotus pedestals, steadily supporting their severely injured companions and offering them a final measure of protection.

"Report! The demon tribe's vanguard has passed Sunset Gorge!"

A scout came galloping over, his voice was torn apart by the whistling wind and sand, with a bit of hoarseness and urgency.

Yuan Huai, the representative of Zhenlong Valley, was now standing on the tall and majestic "Zhenlong Terrace", his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the horizon.

There, the demon army was like a surging black tide, rolling in, covering the sky and the sun, with a terrifying momentum.

Yuan Huai subconsciously reached for his waist and touched the "Dragon Imperial Order", and a cold touch came from his fingertips.

This token is not only the key to mobilizing the Zhenlong Valley army, but also the key to unlocking the mysterious "Ten Thousand Demon Cave" in Zhenlong Valley, carrying countless secrets and powers.

"Activate the 'Iron Wall Formation' and have Xuanyang Dao Sect engage the enemy first."

Yuan Huai gave orders to the deputy general beside him in a low and decisive voice.

His eyes inadvertently swept towards the direction of the Yutian Divine Sect, and saw Su Zhan standing at the bow of the flying boat, having a pleasant conversation with the leader of the Tianhuo Dan League.

All three wore polite smiles, seemingly harmonious, yet their eyes concealed hidden thoughts, like the undercurrent surging beneath the surface of a calm lake, full of twists and turns.

......

Prince Blood Eyes, an important general of the demon clan, appeared on the battlefield riding a majestic nine-headed python.

Each python head was holding the remains of a monk from the Northern Wilderness, and the scene was horrific with blood dripping. The scales on the python's body were flashing with a cold light, emitting a chilling aura.

Prince Blood Eyes raised his hand and waved. The twelve great demon wizards immediately understood and threw the copper pots in their hands into the air at the same time.

In an instant, the copper jar exploded, and the soul of the Northern Wilderness cultivator imprisoned within it transformed into a thick blood mist, which quickly condensed over the ancient plains, forming a "blood cloud banner" that obscured the sky. The blood cloud surged, like a demon from hell, ferocious and terrifying.

"You ants of the Northern Wasteland, today I will let you taste the power of my demon race's 'Blood Tide Technique'!"

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Blood-eyed Prince, and his voice was like a bell, resounding throughout the battlefield.

He swung his hand violently and slashed it down. The Blood Cloud Banner seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant hand, pouring down towards the Northern Wilderness cultivators like a raging waterfall. The speed was so fast that wherever it passed, the air was dyed dark red, and the smell of blood filled the air, making people sick.

The cultivators of Xuanyang Taoist Sect bore the brunt of the attack. The golden lotus pedestals beneath their feet made sizzling sounds under the impact of the blood mist, like metal burned by flames.

The monks' robes also quickly corroded, the fabric shredding and revealing their skin, which had been eroded by corpse qi. Strange black spots appeared on the surface of their skin, as if cursed.

"Retreat quickly! This blood mist contains a strong corrosive force!"

Upon seeing this, the elder of Xuanyang Taoist Sect's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned the "Demon Purifying Umbrella".

The umbrella was unfolded, originally emitting a sacred light. However, under the erosion of the blood mist, it was like fragile paper, instantly shattered into powder and disappeared without a trace.

The "Dragon Guards" of Zhenlong Valley reacted quickly and hurriedly raised their shields. The spirit gathering array on the shields was instantly activated, madly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to form a faint spiritual shield.

Barely resisting the onslaught of blood, the cultivator at the center of the formation, however, suffered an overload of spiritual energy absorption, bleeding from all seven orifices, and collapsed trembling, his life fading in an instant.

The "Earth Fire Furnace" of the Sky Fire Alchemy Alliance played its role at the right time. Thousands of furnaces spewed out boiling magma at the same time. The magma spread across the ground like a rushing river, forming a blazing river of fire.

When the blood mist touched the high-temperature magma, it emitted a sharp and piercing scream, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in pain, and then turned into poisonous smoke that rose into the sky.

However, the disciples of the Alchemy Alliance were unaware that the poisonous smoke held hidden dangers. The demon race's "bone-eating flying ants" were hiding within it, following the hot wind and darting towards them like black arrows. Danger was quietly approaching.

......

Deep in the Zhenlong Valley, in the mysterious "Cave of Ten Thousand Demons", the atmosphere is so oppressive that it makes people breathless.

Under the impact of 36,000 captive monsters, the iron fence creaked under the heavy weight, as if it would break at any time.

These monsters had long been treated with the "Monster Taming Powder" by Zhenlong Valley to subdue their animal nature and become docile and obedient. However, at this moment, a violent flame suddenly ignited in their eyes, revealing their sharp fangs and claws, as if their instincts were awakened by some powerful force.

It turned out that someone had secretly cut the chains of the "Demon Suppression Bell" on the cave ceiling, which symbolized suppression, disrupting the long-standing balance here.

The first to attack were the "Iron-backed Wolves" carefully bred in Zhenlong Valley. They were like crazy warriors, violently crashing through the fence.

At the moment of the collision, a shocking scene happened. The spikes on their backs actually sprayed out green venom, which drew arcs in the air and emitted a pungent smell.

This is the terrible aftereffect of long-term use of the "Spiritual Transformation Pill," which makes these wolves even more violent and dangerous.

Immediately afterwards, the "Blood Jade Python," transformed into a puppet, began to lose control. The talismans wrapped around its body began to burn, turning to ashes, revealing the pulsing demon core within. The demon core glowed and exuded a strange aura.

"Oh no! The demon pill is rioting!"

The deacon elder in charge of the guard shouted in horror, but before he could finish his words, a huge golden eagle broke through the roof. The sunlight shone through the hole in the roof, outlining the huge figure of the golden eagle.

The golden eagle's claws were as sharp as hooks. It instantly grabbed the deacon elder's head and flew into the sky with a long cry.

In an instant, the restrictions of the entire Ten Thousand Monster Cave began to collapse in a chain reaction. The "Nine Nines Return to One Demon Locking Formation" that Zhenlong Valley was so proud of now became like a huge cage, completely trapping Zhenlong Valley's crisis inside, and the situation was precarious.

......

On the ancient plain in the autumn wind, the battle situation reached a stalemate, and both sides were caught in a brutal tug-of-war.

The power of the Yutian Divine Sect's lightning net was astonishing. Rays of lightning flashed through the air like dragons, instantly killing thousands of demons. Where the lightning flashed, the bodies of the demons fell in all directions, and the air was filled with a charred smell.

However, the demon clan's great witches were cruel. They quickly piled up a "blood and flesh altar" with the corpses of the Northern Wilderness monks. The altar was covered with blood and filled with a strong smell of blood.

The great witches chanted something and cast strange spells. Soon, the dead demon soldiers slowly revived in the blood mist and rejoined the battle, as if death was just a brief slumber for them.

While the Skyfire Pill Alliance's River of Fire temporarily blocked the blood tide's impact, the infiltration of the "Bone-Eating Flying Ants" had inflicted heavy losses. Thirty percent of the disciples had already died from the ants' stings and poison.

The disciples struggled in agony, their skin quickly turned black, and their lives gradually faded away under the erosion of the poison.

At this moment, Yuan Huai was looking at the tragic scene of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons in the communication jade slip, his eyes full of shock and anger, his nails unconsciously dug deep into his palms, leaving blood marks.

The foundation of Zhenlong Valley, accumulated over the years, all lies in those monsters.

Their demon cores are used to refine "Spirit Gathering Pills" to improve their cultivation, their essence and blood are used to irrigate the precious "Spirit Plant Garden", and even their bones are made into powerful "Beast Taming Whips".

Now, these monsters, once considered precious resources, have collectively retaliated, and the foundation of Zhenlong Valley is instantly shaky, and the sect is in imminent danger.

"Pass on my order: The Third and Fourth Armies will immediately return to support the sect, and the rest of you must defend the line at all costs!"

Yuan Huai bit a "wake-up pill" into pieces, and the bitterness of the pill spread in his mouth. He forced himself to suppress the bloody taste rising in his throat, and there was a hint of determination in his voice.

The deputy general stood aside, hesitant to speak, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Yuan Huai and saw bloodshot eyes, a side effect of long-term use of the "Guyuan Pill," a drug made from demonic elixirs. The leaders of Zhenlong Valley had long since become dependent on this forbidden drug to maintain their powerful cultivation, unaware that this was the beginning of their own destruction.

The withdrawal of the Zhenlong Valley army triggered a series of chain reactions.

Xuanyang Dao Sect lost the strong protection of its flanks and was immediately in crisis.

The "earth-walking monsters" of the demon clan took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from underground. They shuttled under the sand like ghosts and suddenly broke out of the ground.

Three hundred Xuanyang Daoist monks were caught off guard and instantly dragged into the quicksand, leaving behind only desperate cries before disappearing without a trace. Only eerie sand pits remained on the ground, as if to testify to the disaster.

The Fire River of the Sky Fire Dan League quickly shrank by half in width due to the lack of troops from the Zhenlong Valley Army to maintain it.

The blood tide seized the opportunity and flooded over the defense line like a surging tide. The once golden desert was instantly dyed a chilling yellow, a mixture of blood and sand, shocking to the eye.

"You old bastard Yuan Huai, you actually deserted at this critical moment!"

Su Zhan stood on the flying boat, his face flushed with anger, and he cursed loudly.

Although he had known the secret of the Zhenlong Valley's captive monsters, he never expected that these monsters would riot at such a critical moment and disrupt all his plans.

What frightened him even more was that the demonic energy fluctuations coming from the Black Abyss were becoming increasingly stronger. It seemed that the demons were making some dangerous attempt to resonate with the corpse energy within the tomb. This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal.

At this moment, a giant bird with flames burning all over its body roared past the flying boat. It was the "Chi Xiaopeng" that Zhenlong Valley once prided itself on.

However, at this moment, it was carrying the "Explosive Flame Demon" of the demon clan and became an accomplice of the enemy.

Su Zhan watched helplessly as his disciples were pierced by the giant bird's sharp claws, their bodies falling like kites with broken strings. The Heaven-shaking emblems on their robes twisted and deformed under the scorching flames, gradually losing their original luster. This was a reflection of the precarious situation they were in, on the verge of collapse, leaving one feeling an immense sense of despair and powerlessness.

......

In Zhenlong Valley, Yuan Huai hurried back, and the scene before him made him feel heartbroken.

The "Spirit Plant Garden" has become a hellish scene. The spiritual plants watered with blood have long been alienated and have become unrecognizable.

The vines were full of human heads, each head was twisted and kept repeating the screams before death. The sound was shrill, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

His disciple was entangled in the center of a web by a "human-faced spider," unable to move. The spider was slowly injecting digestive fluid into the disciple's body, causing it to gradually wither and become a hollow shell. His life slowly faded away in agony.
