The Emperor of Zongmen Workers is here

On the battlefield, monsters rushed towards him like a surging tide. Jiang Qingwu was agile and danced with the Qiluan sword in his hand tightly. Sharp sword energy shot out and instantly crushed the approaching monsters into powder.

However, when the fierce battle was in full swing, a sound suddenly exploded in the depths of her mind. The sound was ethereal but revealed an unquestionable firmness, as if it came across endless time and space, and only she could hear it.

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly shocked, but he forced himself to remain calm and did not show any abnormality on his face.

While she was doing her best to resist the monster's attack, she anxiously asked in her heart: "Who are you? Why do you assert that I am a variable?" But the mysterious voice fell on deaf ears and there was no response.

At this time, everyone was exhausted, but at this critical moment, they still gritted their teeth and fought desperately with the monster.

Pei Yi's face was filled with worry. He seized an opportunity, approached Jiang Qingwu, and shouted, "Qingwu, the situation is critical. You must be careful!" Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly, his eyes as firm as a torch. "Brother Pei, don't worry. I won't back down. But this demonic tide keeps coming in waves. We need to come up with a plan to deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhongli Xiu fiercely slew several charging monsters, then wiped the sweat and blood stains from his face. He shouted, "Junior Master, no matter what, we will fight alongside you, life and death together! But these monsters are simply too numerous, and their strength is only growing stronger. If this continues, we're afraid we won't be able to hold on."

Feng Jingchen also echoed anxiously from the side: "Yes, Junior Master. The monsters seem to be endless. We are consuming a huge amount of spiritual energy. If we continue to fight like this, we will be worn down sooner or later. We must find a way to break the deadlock quickly."

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath, looked around at the people around him who all had tired faces but determined eyes, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, let's retreat for a while to rest. But during this time, you must remain vigilant and not slack off in the slightest. At the same time, everyone should think carefully and see if you can come up with a way to deal with the demonic tide. Since the last demonic tide, the spiritual balance of the Dongxu Realm has been disrupted. The demons have used this as a breakthrough point for the demonic tide and are constantly breeding demonic creatures in an attempt to invade our world. We must protect our home!"

Everyone nodded and found a relatively safe place to sit down. Jiang Qingwu retreated to the side and once again cast his gaze on the Qiluan Sword, which was shining brightly in his hand.

A thought struck her. Could that mysterious voice just now be related to the Qiluan Sword? So, she whispered in her mind, "Was that voice just now you? Who are you?"

At this moment, the Qiluan Sword trembled slightly, and a soft and mysterious light overflowed from it, gradually condensing into a vague figure that was looming.

A voice echoed in her heart, gentle yet solemn. "Master, I am the spirit of the Qiluan Sword. After the battle with Ye Qingcheng, it was I who brought you, severely injured, back to the Wuliang Sect. I was the one who made that voice just now. As someone who has undergone the Tribulation, and thanks to Zhu Guangji's intervention, even if you interfere in the affairs of the mortal world during the Tribulation Period, you will not be affected by the Heavenly Law. From the ancient memories passed down within the sword, I know that you are the key variable in ending this demonic tide."

Jiang Qingwu was both surprised and delighted, and asked in his heart, "Then how do you think I can become a variable in this demonic tide? How can I completely resolve this crisis?"

The sword spirit pondered for a moment, a light shimmering around it as if it were sorting out its complex thoughts. Then, it slowly spoke, "Master, you were once the guardian of the heavens and a god of war in the celestial realm. This Qiluan sword accompanied you through countless battles. Now, you must reawaken your former fighting spirit and hidden power. You have a deep connection with this Dongxu Realm, and your fate is closely connected. Perhaps finding and destroying the breakthrough point of the demonic tide will reveal the key to resolving it."

Jiang Qingwu fell into deep thought. She knew that pushing her limits was no easy task; it meant facing unknown risks and challenges. But the situation was critical, and she couldn't afford to retreat.

At this moment, a sudden commotion erupted in the distance. Jiang Qingwu looked up sharply, only to see the sky dark and swirling with inky black clouds. A new wave of demonic energy surged towards them like a black tsunami. She quickly stood up, her expression grim, and shouted, "Everyone, the demonic energy is coming again! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Everyone immediately shifted from their resting state to a fighting stance, grabbing their weapons and preparing for battle. Jiang Qingwu, Qiluan Sword in hand, stood at the front of the team, his gaze as sharp as lightning, watching the demonic tide rolling in like a huge black wave.

The monsters roared, claws and fangs bared as they charged forward, their roars threatening to tear apart everything in the world. Jiang Qingwu struck first, his Qiluan Sword slicing a brilliant, sharp arc through the air. A powerful sword energy surged into the demonic tide like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly slashing at the monsters in front of him. Blood splattered like a bloody storm.

"Kill!" Pei Yi shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, and the magic weapon in his hand shone brightly. Rays of light shot towards the monster like meteors chasing the moon. Each ray of light hit the target accurately, blowing the monster's flesh and blood into pieces, and limbs and arms splattered everywhere.

Feng Jingchen played the jade flute, and the melodious yet murderous sound of the flute sounded, as if it was the deadly sound coming from the Nine Nether Hell.

Countless vines emerged from the ground, like green pythons, madly wrapping around the bodies of the monsters, making them move slowly.

Zhongli Xiu took advantage of this opportunity, rushed into the enemy camp with his sword in hand, and used his sword skills to swing wildly. Each sword strike carried a tremendous force, killing all the bound monsters. The blade was covered in blood, and it flashed a strange light in the sunlight.

However, this wave of demonic tide seemed to be more ferocious than before, and the number of monsters was astonishingly large, as if all the demons in the dark abyss had come out in droves.

They surged forward, seemingly endlessly, a terrifying sight. While Jiang Qingwu fought furiously, she keenly observed the demonic tide's movements. She discovered that the monsters seemed to be converging toward a specific area, as if shielding some important operation.

"Everyone be careful, these monsters are acting strangely!" Jiang Qingwu warned loudly, his voice echoing on the battlefield as loud as a bell.

Before he finished speaking, a gigantic demonic wolf leaped out from the demonic tide, emitting a strong aura of darkness, as if it could devour all the light around it.

Its eyes flashed with an eerie red light, like two burning blood-red flames. The demon wolf opened its bloody mouth and a black beam of light shot towards Jiang Qingwu like a cannonball. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a hissing sound.

Jiang Qingwu's eyes focused, and he flashed like a ghost, deftly avoiding the attack. The black beam of light struck the ground, instantly creating a huge crater, sending dust and gravel flying everywhere.

Jiang Qingwu took advantage of the situation and counterattacked. The Qiluan Sword shone brightly, and she displayed her fierce sword skills. Each sword strike went straight to the vital points of the demon wolf. The sword wind whistled, as if to chop off the dark aura of the demon wolf.

The demon wolf wasn't to be outdone. It nimbly dodged Jiang Qingwu's attacks, its massive body moving across the battlefield like a bolt of black lightning. It continuously blasted out black beams of light, rays of black death beams shooting towards Jiang Qingwu, attempting to devour her.

A fierce battle broke out between Jiang Qingwu and the demon wolf. Lights flashed, sword energy was everywhere, and the ground of the battlefield was damaged and riddled with holes. Cracks spread like spider webs.

At the same time, the other cultivators were also locked in a bitter battle with the monsters. Feng Ci controlled the puppet, shuttling back and forth on the battlefield like a black phantom.

Whenever a monk was in danger due to exhaustion, he would quickly drive the puppet to rescue him. The puppet's iron fist would smash into the monster like a meteor, repelling it.

Su Chen cast spells to attack monsters, shooting ice cones at them like sharp blades, while at the same time healing his injured companions. The pill in his hand flickered with soft light, emitting healing power.

Lin Muci was doing her best to treat the wounded in the rear. She kept waving her hands and making hand gestures, and rays of healing light fell on the wounded. Pills quickly flew into the mouths of the monks. Wherever the light reached, the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The monks who were cured all clasped their fists in gratitude.

On the battlefield, the cries of killing, the roars of monsters, and the roars of magical weapons intertwined to form a horrifying symphony of death. The stench of blood was so thick it made one sick, filling the air like a solid substance, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Jiang Qingwu's battle with the demon wolf reached a fever pitch. She knew that if she didn't quickly eliminate the demon wolf, everyone's situation would become increasingly dangerous. Fine beads of sweat covered her forehead and trickled down her cheeks, but her eyes grew more determined.

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath and focused all his spiritual energy on the Qiluan Sword. The sword shone brightly, as if illuminating the entire dark battlefield. The light was as dazzling as the sun.

She shouted loudly and unleashed her strongest attack. A huge sword energy with the momentum of destroying the world slashed towards the demon wolf. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be cut apart.

The demon wolf felt the powerful force of this attack, and it also tried its best. The dark aura in its body condensed into a huge black shield. Runes on the shield flashed, revealing evil power.

The sword energy and the shield collided with a deafening roar that shook the very heavens and earth. Light shone everywhere, and the powerful impact sent the surrounding monsters flying like leaves scattered by a strong wind.

When the light faded, cracks appeared on the demon wolf's shield, densely covered like a spider web. Jiang Qingwu had also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy from this attack, her face pale, and her body swayed slightly. But she showed no sign of retreat. She gritted her teeth and rushed towards the demon wolf with her sword again.

Seeing this, the demon wolf's eyes flashed with fear, but it still mustered its courage and prepared to face Jiang Qingwu's attack. Just as Jiang Qingwu was about to attack the demon wolf again, suddenly, a more powerful aura seemed to surge in the demon tide behind the demon wolf.

Jiang Qingwu was shocked and immediately became alert. She realized that this was probably just a test attack by the demons, and there might be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

At this time, the demonic tide gradually receded, leaving a mess on the battlefield, with the corpses of monsters and the blood of monks everywhere. The smell of blood filled the air, making people feel depressed and heavy.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the exhausted crowd with a feeling of regret. She knew that this battle was only a temporary end, and the demons would surely launch more fierce attacks.

In order to completely eliminate the threat of the demonic tide, it is necessary to find and destroy the breakthrough point of the demonic tide.

"Everyone, take a break first. We need to recover our strength as soon as possible. The demons are coming with great force this time. We must be more fully prepared when we meet next time." Jiang Qingwu said. Although his voice was tired, it was firm.

Everyone nodded and found a place to sit down and rest. Jiang Qingwu fell into deep thought again, recalling the details of the battle, trying to find the demons' flaws.

"Master, the demon clan's large-scale operation this time, the breakthrough point of the demon tide must be hidden in some secret place, which continuously breeds demons. We need to find it and destroy it." The sword spirit of the Qiluan Sword said in her heart.

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly and responded in his heart: "I thought so too. However, the Dongxu Realm is so vast, it is not easy to find this place. But no matter what, we can't give up."

Jiang Qingwu led the group, following the direction the demonic tide had retreated. They were cautious along the way, alert to potential dangers. After several days of tracking, they finally discovered some traces of demonic activity in a hidden valley.

A gloomy atmosphere permeated the valley, and the surrounding trees appeared withered, as if drained of life. Strange runic markings etched the ground, emitting an eerie glow. Jiang Qingwu and the others cautiously entered the valley, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing they might trigger a hidden trap.

Suddenly, a group of dark shadows rushed out from the woods on both sides of the valley and pounced towards the crowd.

Jiang Qingwu looked closely and found that they were a group of demonized wild wolves. Their eyes were flashing blood-red light, green venom was flowing from their mouths, and they emitted a disgusting smell.

"Be careful!" Jiang Qingwu shouted loudly, and at the same time swung the Qiluan Sword. A sword energy slashed out, instantly knocking down the first few wild wolves.

Everyone quickly deployed and began to fight the demonized wolves. Pei Yi's magic weapon shone, continuously emitting rays of light to attack the wolves. Feng Jingchen's flute melody rang out, and he manipulated the vines to restrain the wolves before charging with his sword. Zhong Lixiu weaved through the pack, his swordsmanship sharp, beheading each wolf one by one.

However, these demonized wild wolves seemed to be driven by some force, fearless of death, and rushed towards the crowd one after another.

While fighting, Jiang Qingwu observed the surrounding environment and found that these wild wolves seemed to be deliberately leading them deeper into the valley.

"Everyone be careful, this may be a trap! But we can't retreat, we must find out the conspiracy of the demons here." Jiang Qingwu shouted.

Everyone nodded and continued to fight the wild wolves, while remaining highly alert and advancing deeper into the valley.

It turns out that under this valley is suppressed an evil giant beast from ancient times, and its body contains endless dark power.

The last demonic tide caused an imbalance in the spiritual power of the Dongxu Realm and loosened the seal. The demons took the opportunity to use special evil magic to awaken part of the power of the giant beasts, and continuously demonized monsters to fight for the demonic tide, thus making up for the demons who could not keep up with the cultivation due to lack of resources.

The power of darkness interacted with the chaotic spiritual power of the Dongxu Realm, acting like a catalyst, continuously breeding monsters and becoming the source of this raging demonic tide.
