Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, the area outside Tianliu City is piled high with corpses, turning the once verdant valley into a dark red.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with the stench of demonic beasts, making one want to vomit.

The low-level demonic beasts dragged their wounded bodies through the pile of corpses, searching for unrotted demonic beast carcasses, tearing and swallowing them to heal their injuries.

Occasionally, he would look up at the city shrouded in the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation, his eyes flashing with greed and resentment.

Although the cultivators in the city were protected by a powerful formation, they still paid a heavy price.

In the past three days, more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a thousand Qi Refining cultivators have perished, and the remaining cultivators have all sustained some injuries.

Although the six sects have sent additional personnel to provide support, it will take at least five days for the surrounding counties to arrive.

As for the cultivators of Yanxing County, most of them had already arrived in Tianliu City. Even though four Golden Core cultivators from the county arrived in time the next day, they still failed to drive away the demonic beasts.

There was no other reason than that, in addition to the three demon kings including Blood Fiend, four more demon kings came to help.

Low-level demonic beasts have not yet developed much intelligence. Faced with the Demon King's orders, they can only charge forward relentlessly. It is precisely because they are not afraid of death that the cultivators suffer so much.

As for the four demon kings, seeing that the human race had not yet gathered most of its strength, they wondered if they could break through the city and take a share of the spoils.

......

Outside the city, the horde of monsters temporarily ceased their attack.

The Blood Demon King sat cross-legged atop a mountain of corpses, a gruesome sword wound on his chest still unhealed, but he paid no heed. Instead, he grabbed a dead demon wolf and began to tear it apart and swallow it whole.

The White Lotus Demon King and the Evil Tiger Demon King were also injured, but their bloodlines were exceptional, and their wounds were healing.

"That brat Yan Jing is quite sharp-tongued, but his skills are really just average."

The Blood Demon King grinned. After three days of continuous battles, it had fought two opponents single-handedly. Although it had suffered considerable injuries, it had also severely wounded both of them, which made it extremely happy.

If it weren't for other Golden Core cultivators coming to reinforce, and the fact that the humans couldn't defeat them and had to hide in the city...

It might have been able to kill it in one fell swoop!

"Blood Fiend, you can't possibly break through Tianliu City. When are you planning to withdraw your troops?"

"If we wait any longer, a large human force will arrive."

The one speaking was the Azure Ridge Demon King, who, along with the Black Tortoise Demon King, the Blood Drinking Demon King, and the Azure Phoenix Demon King, had come to provide support a day earlier.

Without the intervention of the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, they could not possibly destroy that seventh-order formation.

The demon king looked at the corpses of demon beasts scattered all over the mountains and fields, but felt little heartache.

At this moment, the main force of the beast tide consisted mostly of peripheral monsters. Apart from the Blood Fiend Demon King who brought his own subordinates, they almost all came alone.

"Hold on for one more day. Tomorrow I'll try to kill that old man Yan Jing. If not, I'll at least severely injure several of them!"

"I'll make sure they can't play any role in the beast tides for the next few years!"

Although Blood Fiend was impulsive, it was not a fool. It had many offspring, so what did it matter if one of them died?

It just provides an excuse to attack.

By severely injuring several human Golden Core cultivators now, the human race will be significantly weakened by the beast tide a few years later, and they might be able to breach Tianliu City then.

"it is good."

The other demon kings breathed a sigh of relief. They had come to offer their assistance, but it was really just to cheer them on. They didn't want to suffer any serious injuries at this critical juncture.

......

Inside Tianliu City.

Three consecutive days of bloody battles have left the entire city shrouded in exhaustion and oppression.

Zhang Lingyu leaned against a dilapidated city wall, his fingertips trembling slightly. The days of fighting had almost exhausted all his energy.

The once wealthy man now only has a few low-grade talismans left, along with a third-grade mid-level talisman he's been saving and the Blood Spirit Seed he's always been reluctant to use.

"call......"

He exhaled a long breath, feeling the nearly depleted magical power within his body. The stinging sensations emanating from his meridians made him frown.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements from Yanxing County, which relieved most of the pressure on them, they might have truly faced certain doom.

Taking advantage of this rare moment of respite, Zhang Lingyu dragged her weary body into the city.

At this moment, long queues had already formed at the places in the city where people could exchange for spiritual items. Cultivators held their Demon-Slaying Tokens and waited anxiously to exchange for various items.

Zhang Lingyu looked down at his token, which displayed a total of 37,000 contribution points.

"Fellow Daoist, I would like to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The butler behind the counter looked up at him and nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist is quite lucky. There are only about twenty Foundation Establishment Pills left; any later and they might be gone."

Zhang Lingyu's heart tightened, and he quickly handed over the demon-slaying order.

The steward took the token, a flash of light appeared at his fingertips, and after deducting contribution points, he took out a pill the size of a longan from the jade box behind him and handed it to him.

The pill was pure white, with faint patterns of pills flowing across its surface, and emitted a faint fragrance. It was the Foundation Establishment Pill that countless Qi Refining cultivators dreamed of!

Zhang Lingyu carefully put it into her storage bag, finally feeling a little more at ease.

Back at the temporary resting place, Zhang Lingyu sat cross-legged, took out a few pills and put them in his mouth to slowly recover his magical power.

Most of the cultivators around him were just like him, making the most of every minute to regulate their breathing.

Only half a day had passed when cultivators began shouting repeatedly in the skies above the city:

"Demonic beasts are attacking! All cultivators, swiftly engage them!"

"Damn it!"

Many people were still pale, clearly not fully recovered, but now they could only fly towards the city wall.

Above the city, eight Golden Core cultivators were already on high alert. However, Xuan Dan, Yan Jing, and Yun He looked quite unwell. The battle three days ago had left them severely injured, and if they hadn't taken their most treasured pills, they probably wouldn't have been able to fight today.

Master Yan Jing obediently kept silent.

"Seven Demon Kings..."

Master Xuan looked at the demon kings who had revealed their true forms before him, and smiled wryly at the four Golden Core cultivators who had come to provide support the day before:

"Fellow Daoists, I beg you."

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. It's just my duty."

All four Golden Core cultivators came from local forces and didn't possess any valuable treasures, not to mention that the highest-ranking among them was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Fortunately, they received a message that within a few hours, the six Golden Core cultivators would arrive to provide support.

There's no other way right now, so we have to bite the bullet and go for it.

An old man in green robes took out a gourd and released gusts of cold wind from it, pointing his sword at the weakest demon king, Biling.

"That's quite audacious."

The Azure Ridge Demon King sneered. Although he was the weakest of the seven demon kings, he was not someone to be trifled with. So he twisted his massive body and swung it fiercely at his opponent.

There was no verbal communication between the two sides; they immediately engaged in a life-or-death battle.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu and the others quickly summoned their magical weapons and continued fighting.
