Chapter 643: Chapter 636: Incoming Attack
“Indeed!”
Upon seeing his subordinates unanimously express their stand, Demon King Chili nodded with satisfaction.
Be it the West Barbarian Mountain Territory or any other territory, as long as it was a wilderness, there would certainly be traces of demon beasts activity.
However, these demon beasts were not strong, with limited spiritual wisdom, and were essentially scattered, each fighting for themselves.
Like the Ten Thousand Mountains, a gathering place for demon beasts, there were surely some, but not many in number, and varying in scale.
Since Demon King Chili’s emergence, after uniting all the Demon Clan, he had gained a general understanding of the various territories around the Ten Thousand Mountains through his subordinates.
Of course, regarding the top cultivators in each territory, who seldom showed themselves in public, his knowledge was still quite limited.
This was the reason why, to be safe, he only let his subordinates probe first and did not rashly launch a full attack.
“Our surrounding territories near the Ten Thousand Mountains, with the West Barbarian Mountain Territory being the weakest and the Cang Mountain Territory the strongest, this is indeed the truth.”
“Since you all have made a decision, then go ahead and do as you have said!”
“Remember, if you encounter an opponent who cannot be resisted, do not act recklessly, report back to me immediately!”
After a brief consideration, Demon King Chili looked at his subordinates and instructed.
Their Demon Clan, naturally strong in body, required much longer time than the human race to advance through normal cultivation.
However, under normal circumstances, in terms of combat power, they were much stronger than the human race at the same level.
Although Demon King Chili had only reached the Heavenly Immortal level not long ago, if he faced a Heavenly Immortal from the human race, he felt that he could at least contend with someone in the Mid Period of a Heavenly Immortal.
With such strength, ordinary Earth Immortals were no longer a concern to him.
“We will strictly follow Demon King Chili’s orders!”
“After returning, we will gather our troops immediately and move to attack the human territories to probe first.”
“With Demon King Chili anchoring our Demon Clan, even if there are Heavenly Immortal level powerhouses hidden within the human territories, what is there to fear!”
…
The demon beasts looked at each other and nodded.
After flattering and heavily praising Demon King Chili, they greeted each other and then took their leave.
…
Atop Black Water Immortal Mountain in the West Barbarian Mountain Territory.
Inside the Cultivation Hall, Chen Hai, who had been meditating for less than a year, had to interrupt his cultivation due to the arrival of Ye Qingqing and Zhang Tianci among others.
Besides Ye Qingqing and Zhang Tianci, Ye Fangxian was also among the visitors.
Situated almost ten thousand miles apart, the distance between Medicine King Valley and the Bloodthirsty Sect was not short.
Logically speaking, the integration of Medicine King Valley into the Bloodthirsty Sect and the relocation here, all within a year, should have been quite challenging.
After all, such a long distance, although it was nothing for a True Immortal like Ye Fangxian, the majority in Medicine King Valley were mid to low level cultivators.
With the strength of these cultivators, plus carrying various supplies, traveling through wilderness areas, even if they wanted to move quickly, it simply was not possible.
Although puzzled, Chen Hai did not ask about this immediately; instead, he welcomed Ye Qingqing and the others into a grand hall on the mountain peak, specially used for receiving guests.
“Qingqing, what’s happening here?” Chen Hai poured a cup of tea for everyone, his gaze sweeping around the room before settling on Ye Qingqing as he inquired.
“In the past half a year, the Cang Mountain Territory has hardly been peaceful.”
“Besides Giant Willow City, there are over ten other cities that have been attacked and breached by the Demon Clan.”
“The regions near the Ten Thousand Mountains have long been in turmoil; creatures suffer and perish, and many mortals from those territories have moved their families elsewhere.”
“In the territories of our Bloodthirsty Sect, these cities are already overflowing with people.”
“Demon beasts roam everywhere; even within our Bloodthirsty Sect’s territory, small groups of them have started to emerge from time to time.”
“When Fangxian and the people from Medicine King Valley were evacuating, they encountered an attack by a large group of demon beasts. Fortunately, Fangxian was incredibly powerful, and managed to fight two True Level beasts head-on, killing the leaders of that group of demon beasts on the spot.”
“Although they repelled the demon beasts, Fangxian and Medicine King Valley also suffered heavy losses, with nearly a thousand people dying in this battle.”
…
With a sense of helplessness on her face, Ye Qingqing sighed deeply.
Although she was the Sect Master of the Bloodthirsty Sect, given her current strength and facing the situation in the Cang Mountain Territory, her limited power as a Ninth Realm cultivator of the Heavenly Tribulation, really meant she could do nothing.
Many small sects and groups with insufficient strength near the Bloodthirsty Sect pledging allegiance, hoped to receive protection from them.
But facing this kind of demonic invasion, Ye Qingqing felt the Bloodthirsty Sect was barely able to protect itself.
What could she do for those small sects and groups wanting to rely on the Bloodthirsty Sect? What could she possibly promise them?
Now, her mind was a complete mess. If it weren’t for the dire situation, where she could find no other solution, she really didn’t want to bother her man who was deep in cultivation and ask him for help.
“Are there many True Level among those demons?” Chen Hai frowned and asked.
“Um!” This time, it was Ye Fangxian who responded.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, “The demon clans invading our Cang Mountain Territory, those in groups of less than a hundred, typically possess strength equivalent to the Ninth Realm of Cultivation.”
“If the number exceeds this, reaching hundreds, there usually are True Level demon beasts in their midst.”
“The group of demon beasts that attacked our Medicine King Valley numbered around a thousand, and the True Level demon beasts reached as many as two.”
“Thankfully, these two demon beasts were merely at the early stage of True Level, which I could barely handle; otherwise, the fate awaiting our Medicine King Valley would have certainly been annihilation.”
Here, Ye Fangxian’s face bittered, and he sighed deeply.
In battles of the same level, the combat power of the Demon Clan generally surpassed that of the human clan.
It was only because he, Ye Fangxian, was strong and had defeated countless proud talents that he could manage the situation. Otherwise, another True Immortal or True Demon of the same level facing this would certainly not have been an opponent for those two True Level demon beasts and might very well have died on the spot.
After being attacked by the group of demon beasts, they from Medicine King Valley abandoned a lot of supplies and sped up their pace.
They had only arrived within the Bloodthirsty Sect a few days ago.
Thousands from Medicine King Valley, having lost a great number on the way, the number of people who had safely reached this place were now less than a thousand.
Thinking of this, Ye Fangxian felt a suffocating pressure in his chest.
Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Tianci from the side immediately added, “The main force behind these demon clans invading our Cang Mountain Territory is named Red Tiger.”
“When they attacked a city called Black Stone City thousands of miles away from our Bloodthirsty Sect, some unknown True Immortals and True Demons helped defend the city, causing heavy losses to the demon clans. This Great Demon, Red Tiger, had shown up once.”
“Using the Power of Heaven and Earth, he transformed into a thousand-meter-tall Fire Tiger, and in just a few moves, except for one who overdrawn his potential through a Forbidden Technique and escaped with serious injuries, all the guarding True Immortals and True Demons were killed by Red Tiger.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, this Great Demon Red Tiger has definitely stepped into the Earth-level…”
