Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

Shen Mo ended the call and turned his gaze to the area behind the beast tide on the sand table, the deepest and darkest blood-red area.

The fourth-tier demonic beast, the Earth Dragon Lizard, and those higher-tier beings lurking in the shadows, driving the beast tides... they are the true test.

"Junior Sister Xiao," he suddenly spoke.

"exist."

"Activate the 'Eye of the Candle Dragon' and scan the area within a hundred miles behind the beast tide, focusing on abnormal underground spiritual veins and high-level demonic energy aggregation points. Regardless of losses, I need to see results within half an hour."

Su Xiaojiao's body trembled slightly. "Eye of the Candle Dragon" is the highest-level detection technique of the Shadow Guard. It requires rare "Void Crystals" and a large amount of the caster's divine soul power. It is not used lightly except in life-or-death situations.

But without any hesitation, she bowed and said, "Yes!"

She sat cross-legged, took out a fist-sized, dark red crystal that seemed to have flames flowing inside, made a hand seal, and specks of eerie light overflowed from between her eyebrows and merged into the crystal.

The crystal shone brightly, and an invisible, vast, and hidden ripple instantly pierced through the secret chamber, sweeping towards the far east.

Su Xiao's face was pale, his soul was greatly depleted, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The dark red "Void Crystal" in his hand was dim, and it seemed that the flames inside were struggling violently before finally going out.

She slowly opened her eyes, a barely perceptible tremor in her cool gaze as she looked at the sand table.

"Sect Leader," her voice was hoarse from exhaustion, "a hundred miles behind the beast tide, the earth's spiritual energy is abnormally chaotic, with strong earth-attribute demonic energy converging to form seven huge spiritual energy vortexes, their locations coinciding with the earth's leyline nodes."

"Among them, a vortex located deep in Black Wind Valley has a demonic energy reaction that has reached the peak of the fourth rank, and it is suspected to be the core of the beast tide."

"Deeper... there are faint but more refined and ancient fluctuations of consciousness, difficult to detect and impossible to determine the specific level, but at least... it is above the fourth level."

With a slight movement of her fingertips, seven dazzling scarlet dots suddenly lit up on the sand table in the area behind the beast tide, like seven malevolent eyes. The one located in Black Wind Valley shone so intensely that it almost bled.

Deeper still, a hazy, dark red area slowly emerged, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

Han Lin slammed the jade pen in his hand onto the table with a "clatter," his old face turning deathly pale: "Peak fourth rank...and there are even suspected higher-ranking beings...how, how can we possibly defend against this?!"

A peak fourth-tier demonic beast is equivalent to a human at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, or even a terrifying existence that has touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage!

These monstrous creatures already possess rudimentary intelligence, capable of commanding all beasts and overturning rivers and seas! Coupled with that unfathomable being suspected of being of an even higher level... this is no ordinary beast tide, but a catastrophe capable of destroying nations and slaughtering cities!

Shen Mo stared at the seven scarlet dots and the deep dark red on the sand table, his face still expressionless. Only in the depths of his eyes seemed to be a layer of ice cracking, revealing the surging lava beneath.

He remained silent for a moment, and the air in the entire Cardinal's Chamber seemed to freeze, leaving only Su Xiao's slightly heavy breathing.

"Pass on the order." Shen Mo's voice broke the silence, eerily calm yet carrying a resolute force. "The main position of Duanlong Cliff will be under the full command of Zhao Qingyan. At all costs, activate the full power of the 'Minor Heavenly Star Array Remnant' and hold the position while awaiting reinforcements."

"Shi Tie and Jin Hao's troops, abandon the outer defenses and immediately retreat towards Duanlong Cliff, relying on the great formation for defense. The Crimson Flame Guards of the Blazing Sun Sect and the Sharp Gold Sword Guards of the Heavenly Sword Sect must hold the flanks to the death. Without my order, do not retreat even a single step!"

"Elder Han, immediately activate Contingency Plan B. Transfer all strategic reserves in the warehouse, including those three 'Earth-Splitting Divine Thunders,' to Dragon-Slaying Cliff."

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Gou Zai Fei Men Bian Shenhua" (苟在废门编神话):

"Notify Li Xiaocao of the Pill Hall to refine 'Exploding Yuan Pill' and 'Soul Burning Powder' at any cost and distribute them to all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Zhao Tiechui of the Weapon Hall, concentrate all the stockpiled 'Armor-Piercing Crossbows' and 'Explosive Flame Arrows' for use."

"Su Xiao, mobilize the entire Shadow Guard, sparing no expense, to pinpoint the exact locations of those seven spiritual energy vortexes and the distribution of the demonic beasts."

"At the same time, closely monitor the movements of the Blazing Sun Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Profound Yin Sect, and all other forces that may have unusual connections with the outside world. If any unusual activity is detected, kill them without exception!"

A series of commands, cold, swift, and unquestionable, struck everyone's hearts like a hammer blow. Han Linqiang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and quickly picked up his pen to write them down.

Su Xiao swallowed a pill, and a trace of color returned to his pale face. He bowed to accept the order, and his figure once again disappeared into the shadows.

Shen Mo's gaze finally settled on the crimson color representing Black Wind Valley, and his voice was low: "As for this beast... I will go and meet it myself."

"Sect Leader!" Han Lin exclaimed, looking up abruptly. "No! A peak fourth-tier demonic beast is extremely dangerous! You are the leader of an alliance, a person of immense importance. How can you personally venture into such a perilous place? We must consider this carefully..."

Shen Mo raised his hand, stopping Han Lin from speaking further. He walked to the sand table and gently touched the dark red area with his finger: "Elder Han, do you know why this beast tide didn't come earlier or later, but instead erupted when our alliance was newly established and its foundation was not yet stable? And why is its core demonic power so perfectly aligned with the earth's vein nodes?"

Han Lin was taken aback.

"This is definitely not a natural disaster." A cold glint flashed in Shen Mo's eyes. "Someone is behind it all, using secret techniques to manipulate the earth's veins and drive all kinds of beasts, trying to use the demonic beasts to destroy my foundation. If this fiend is not eliminated, the beast tide will not stop. Even if we manage to protect the Dragon-Slaying Cliff, it can still manipulate the earth's veins elsewhere and start new disasters."

"At that time, our alliance will be slowly worn down by this endless beast tide."

He turned around, his blue robe billowing even without wind, exuding an aura of unwavering, unyielding authority: "Besides, do you really think the Blazing Sun Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are truly willing to live and die with us right now?"

"If we don't demonstrate swift and decisive action, and eliminate their leader, how can we deter the villains, and how can we unite the people?"

"This battle must not only be won, but won decisively and overwhelmingly, so that everyone, including our 'allies,' can see it clearly and plainly!"

Han Lin opened his mouth, but ultimately let out a long sigh and bowed deeply: "Sect Leader... take care!"

Shen Mo said no more, took a step, and his figure disappeared from the Cardinals Pavilion.

Broken Dragon Cliff lives up to its name. Two steep cliffs, as if cleaved by a giant axe, stand facing each other, forming a treacherous canyon only a hundred feet wide and several miles long, which is the last natural barrier leading to the heart of Qingyun Mountain.

At this moment, this natural barrier has been transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

Zhao Qingyan's "Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Formation" was now fully activated. The sky within a ten-mile radius of the canyon was shrouded in a semi-transparent, shimmering starlight shield.

On the light shield, countless tiny runes flowed, drawing upon the power of the stars in the darkness, transforming into sharp starlight sword energy and a resilient starlight barrier, engaging in a brutal battle of attrition with the surging beast tide below.

"roar--!!!"

Amidst deafening roars, countless monstrous beasts of various shapes surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, relentlessly crashing against the starlight barrier.

Ironback wolves spewed wind blades, crimson pythons swung their burning giant tails, and venomous vultures swooped down like dark clouds, spewing venom... The corpses of low-level demonic beasts piled up like mountains in front of the battle, blood flowed like rivers, and the stench soared into the sky.

But even more demonic beasts, stepping over the corpses of their own kind, continued to pounce with bloodshot eyes.
