The Great Wild God - Chapter 211
Chapter 211 Re-entering Tushan
The Divine Night Floating Boat stopped a thousand feet above Crimson Maple Castle. Chen Xun looked down. Compared to when he had left more than a year ago, the area of Crimson Maple Castle had expanded by a lot. A dozen kilometers was covered in faint clouds.
The clouds didn’t spread out and should be controlled by some sort of profound formation.
Through the clouds, the spring water galloping out from the underground of Crimson Maple Fort was like a herd of horses. White waves splashed like broken jade in the stone stream. On both sides of the stream, Crimson Maple, Green Luo, and other grass trees grew densely, and in the vast sand sea, they were like a paradise on earth.
On both sides of the Stone Stream, there were dense stubble of figures everywhere. Chen Xun and the others stood on the floating boat and watched. These figures were as small as ants. When they saw the floating boat appear, most of them revealed fanatical expressions.
The cultivators below were all disciples sent by various sects to destroy magical creatures in the Absolute Mountain Ridge of Tu Mountain. They had all gathered at Crimson Maple Fort in the first place.
As outer sect disciples, Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe had limited knowledge of the combined efforts of the various sects to exterminate the demons.
Chang Xi didn’t have the patience to take care of the common people’s affairs, and Chen Xun couldn’t get any more information from her.
Chen Xun followed the other Divine Night Sect disciples out of their boats and landed on the east bank of the Stone Stream. Only then did he realize that there were far more Scarlet Maple Fort disciples gathered than he had imagined.
Of course, the Divine Night Sect was the leader of the various sects in the Northwest Region, and there were definitely not a few disciples who had sent out this time.
Apart from Chang Xi, Xia Xiangyi, Zhao Chengen, and a dozen other direct disciples, there were nearly a thousand disciples from the Reincarnation Realm alone.
Entering Mount Tu to exterminate the demons was extremely dangerous. The Divine Night Sect did not advocate the participation of disciples of the True Yang Realm with low cultivation. However, disciples of the True Yang Realm who had been unable to break through the profound aperture after cultivating for many years, even if this trip was dangerous, it was still a rare opportunity to break through.
Therefore, the Divine Night Sect also had nearly two thousand peak True Yang Realm disciples who were bitterly unable to break through and arrived at Crimson Maple Castle together in a floating boat.
In addition, the Divine Night Sect also had Gu Wenyang and three other Origin Core Adepts, Zhou Yang and twenty other ordinary Heaven Origin Realm elders accompanying them to Scarlet Maple Castle. It could be said that they were the backbone forces that had entered Mount Tu to exterminate magical creatures, and they were worthy of the reputation of the first sect in the Northwest Region.
Seeking for someone to ask about the temporary residence of the Thousand Swords Sect, Chen rushed over to see Li Yu, Ji Dongze, and the others.
Ji Lie was the only one from the Thousand Swords Sect who had advanced to the Origin Core stage and wanted to stay behind to guard the sect.
Apart from Ji Lie, the Thousand Sword Sect did not have any experts above the Heavenly Origin Realm. This time, Li Yu and the others led the team. There were a total of 200 disciples at the Reincarnation Realm and the True Yang Realm participating in this operation.
After chatting with Li Yu and Ji Dongze, Chen Xun knew that after confirming that the Thousand Demon Realm demonic fiend had leaked into Tu Shan on a large scale, Qiyun Shan would transfer Crimson Maple Fort to Mansion of Marquis Martial.
The Marquis of Origin realm sent a Supreme Official to set up the Galaxy Spirit Lock Formation with the help of the underground spirit veins of Crimson Maple Castle, covering an area of more than ten kilometers around Crimson Maple Castle.
Within the formation, the Spiritual Qi was not weaker than any cave in the Divine Night Sect. No wonder Qiyun Mountain had tore apart its face and wanted to occupy this place.
Within the Divine Night Sect, there weren’t more than 200 such spirit veins. For a small and medium-sized sect like Qiyun Mountain, there might only be a dozen or so of them.
According to the current situation, it was already extremely difficult for the Thousand Swords Sect to seize the Crimson Maple Castle from the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty. At this moment, the Devil Execution first, the Divine Night Sword would also force the Thousand Sword Sect to acknowledge the fact that Crimson Maple Castle belonged to the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.
Even if Marquis Yuan Wu would compensate the Thousand Swords Sect, Chen Xun thought to himself that Li Yu would find it extremely difficult to swallow this breath when he thought of the dozens of disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect who had died outside Crimson Maple Fort.
So what if he couldn’t swallow it?
The Yuanwu Marquis’ Manor was also extremely powerful. This time, apart from a Supreme Origin Core Realm cultivator and three Origin Core Realm Adepts from the Divine Night Sect staying behind to guard Crimson Maple Fort, they had already dispatched over a thousand elites to advance into Tu Shan.
Apart from the Divine Night Sect and Marquis Yuan’s Mansion, more than a hundred sects, including Qiyun Mountain, Scarlet Flame Peak, and more than sixty prefectures, gathered at Crimson Maple Castle to receive their orders.
*************************
With so many cultivators gathered, they naturally advanced into Mount Tu to eliminate the demons in batches.
Li Yu, Ji Dongze, and the other Thousand Sword Sect disciples entered Tu Shan the next day.
On the Divine Night Sect’s side, disciples from the Tian Ji and Tian Xing Peaks entered Tu Shan first, while disciples from the Gu Yang Peak stayed for preparations. Only when the disciples who entered Tu Shan earlier retreated and rested would they be replaced.
This was no different from a march to war. All sorts of arrangements and dispatches were in line with the rules, much more orderly than when the Azure Water School entered the Jade Pillar Peak to eliminate the pack of wolves.
Gu Yangfeng, led by Xia Xiangyi, Chang Xi, and the others, had nearly three hundred disciples stationed in Scarlet Maple Castle.
More than half a month passed, and Chen Xun and the other disciples of Gu Yang Peak stayed behind to guard Scarlet Maple Castle.
Chang Xi was rather impatient. She left Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others behind and entered Tu Shan alone. No one cared about her.
Chen Xun, on the other hand, had refined ten Green Flame Lotus Arrows and hundreds of Spirit Talismans in Crimson Maple Castle in case he needed them from time to time.
At this time, everyone knew that Xuanyang magical artifacts could suppress demonic fiends, and the dozens of Xuanyang magical artifacts Chen Xun had collected earlier had instantly become a hot item for everyone to rob.
Chen Xun took out ten ordinary Advanced Profound Yang magical artifacts and exchanged them for ten thousand jin of Nine Nether Iron.
As the disciples of the various sects advanced step by step into the depths of Tu Mountain, there were frequent reports of victories. Thousands of magical creatures were slaughtered every day, and of course, there were some casualties. They had no choice but to return to Crimson Maple Fort to rest.
Li Yu, Ji Dongze, and the other Thousand Sword Sect disciples withdrew on the twentieth day after they entered Tu Shan.
Chen Xun rushed over to visit, only to see Li Yu, Ji Dongze, and the others’ faces full of exhaustion, their profound weapons and spirit armor extremely damaged.
From Li Yu and Ji Dongze, Chen Xun knew that although fierce beasts contaminated by demonic fiends could not control magical artifacts like human cultivators, demonic beasts that cultivated blood pills could still spit out blood pills to fight against disciples of various sects. There were even a few demonic beasts that didn’t hesitate to self-destruct blood pills before they died.
The sword formation formed by Li Yu and the others was broken by a thousand-year-old Tiger Demon’s self-detonating Blood Pill. Twenty disciples died in the mountain. Although Li Yu and the others had worked hard to kill the Tiger Demon that had cultivated the Blood Pill to its peak, the magical artifact was seriously damaged, so they had no choice but to withdraw from Mount Tu.
Chen Xun thought to himself that this might not be a bad ending for the Thousand Swords Sect.
********************
On the twenty-sixth day, news came from the front that the disciples of the various sects who had entered the deepest part of Mount Tu had already seen the surging Demon Fiend Horse Refining. This meant that they were already quite close to the Thousand Demon Realm crack.
At this time, nearly two thousand disciples had already died in the depths of Mount Tu. Most of the disciples who had entered Mount Tu in the first round had retreated to rest. Chen Xun and the other disciples of Gu Yang Peak had also been led by Xia Xiangyi to enter Mount Tu from Crimson Maple Fort.
Even though there were nearly 40,000 disciples gathered in Crimson Maple Castle, they were still insignificant when they truly advanced into the depths of Tu Mountain’s Absolute Ridge.
From the edge of Tu Mountain, there was a fort set up by the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty every two hundred li.
Although these sentinels all had formidable formations, these formations didn’t have any spiritual veins that could continuously absorb spiritual energy, so the amount of time they could hold on to them was limited.
However, apart from the troops of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, the disciples who had retreated from the various sects were unwilling to directly withdraw to Crimson Maple Fort. Using these sentinel forts as bases, the magical creatures wandering in the mountains around the Clearing Nest also had a strong defensive power.
When they reached the depths of the Tu Mountain, they were about four hundred miles away from the Thousand Devil Realm crack. The disciples of the Gu Yang Peak separated themselves from the disciples of the other sects.
Demonic beasts that had cultivated to the Blood Pill realm could no longer borrow Demon Fiends to cultivate.
Even if such a demonic beast rushed out from Tu Shan and entered the clouds, Gushan, Yuanwu, and other counties with dense populations would bring about a bloody catastrophe.
This time, the various sects also wanted to seal the demonic beasts in the Tushan Absolute Ridge as much as possible to exterminate them, so the disciples of the various sects would split up to surround the demonic beasts when they entered the mountain.
At this time, they also entered the depths of the Absolute Ridge covered in flames.
The Heavenly Flame was far in the sky, like an incomparably magnificent flowing glow. It looked harmless to humans and animals. However, apart from a few pure Yang Dao artifacts, even a little Heavenly Grade treasure would be burnt to ashes, let alone the body of a Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator.
At this time, no one could fly in the air, so they could only cross the deep valleys of Mount Xiong on foot.
At this point, the demonic aura was already quite fierce.
The disciples of the True Yang Realm hadn’t broken through their profound apertures, so they couldn’t absorb the Spiritual Fiends of Heaven and Earth to cultivate. Instead, they weren’t affected in the slightest.
On the other hand, cultivators above the Reincarnation Realm were extremely unaccustomed to it, but in order to prevent the demon fiend from invading their bodies, everyone could only rely on pills to replenish their Qi, Blood, and True Yang.
Intense killing sounds could be heard coming from ahead. Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and a few other disciples who were leading the way climbed over the mountain top and saw dozens of disciples in cyan robes surrounded by thousands of flying demonic beasts in a wide valley more than ten miles away.
The demonic beast wasn’t big, it was the size of a football mouse, but it had membranous wings under its armpits, revealing snowy fangs and sharp claws. It pounced towards the disciples of Mount Qiyun.
The disciples of Qiyun Mountain used dozens of array flags to hastily set up a spirit array in the valley to block the attacks of these flying demonic rats.
Even the demonic fiends in the valley could be used for array flags, and they were too rare.
Chen Xun saw that the restrictive spiritual light around the spirit formation was about to collapse under the constant attacks of the flying demonic rats. It was like a candle in a gale that could be destroyed at any moment.
Just as Chen Xun was about to warn the disciples of Gu Yangfeng behind him to rush over to reinforce him, one of the disciples of Qiyun Mountain stood up and raised a spirit flag. He injected a golden spirit essence into the spirit flag, and then a Kui Dragon flew out from the spirit flag …
Chen Xun did not expect that the Kui Long Tian Diagram, which had actually been transformed by the Nine Phases Spirit Flag, would actually fall into the hands of the disciples of Qiyun Mountain.
He then thought, since Jiang Ke, who was from the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty, was cultivating in the Divine Night Sect, then Qiyun Mountain, this green-clothed disciple, was most likely also a disciple of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty.
Chen Xun secretly felt that this person’s status should be higher than Jiang Ke’s. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mansion of Marquis Martial to give him the Kui Long Tian Tu for sacrifice.
The Kui Dragon took off its tail from the Spirit Flag, and its eyes instantly grew by a hundred feet. It was like the strongest fierce beast in the world, sweeping wildly towards the flying demonic rats, devouring their souls.
Hundreds of flying demonic rats had already fallen to the ground after the other flying demonic rats had retreated.
“Look at you, you really are a disgrace. How can such a heaven-step treasure be so cheap for the Yuanwu Marquis Manor?”
Chen Xun turned around and saw Chang Xi, who had entered Tu Shan for more than half a month without showing her face. He didn’t know when she and Xia Xiangyi quietly walked behind them.
Seeing that Chang Xi’s gaze was fixed on the Kui Long Tian Diagram in the hands of the disciples of Mount Qiyun, Chen Xunxin must have missed this treasure.
Devouring souls was a divine ability attached to the Nine Phases Spirit Flag. If he hadn’t let Old Kui refine his Dharma Form into the Nine Phases Spirit Flag, he wouldn’t have been able to divert the attention of the Azure Water School, Mystical Frost Sect, and the others from the Lake Wasteland.
There were countless experts in Cloud Continent. In Daoist Primordial Core’s eyes, he was a bit stronger than an ant at this moment. Thus, Chen Xun simply didn’t care whose hands the Kui Dragon Heavenly Diagram had fallen into.
Chen Xun frowned slightly when he saw the disciples of Qiyun Mountain put all the demonic rats that had lost their souls into their storage bags.
“Is it Chang Xi and Brother Xiangyi?” The young man stood in the valley and turned to the valley to ask in a loud voice.
