The Great Wild God - Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Abandon One’s Guard
There were no clouds in the starry night, and the stars and moons were as clear as water.

Chen Xun, Ji Lie, Chi Songzi, and the others flew into the clouds and looked at the entrance to the Devil Ruins more than two hundred kilometers away.

Black clouds billowed above the entrance of the Demon Ruins, revealing an endless vicious aura of bloodthirst. Hundreds of extremely powerful Six-clawed Winged Demons were circling above the black clouds, monitoring the movements of the surrounding hundreds of kilometers.

Seeing the black clouds gathered at the entrance of the Demon Ruins, Chen Xun knew that during the day and night of their fierce battle, demons, or demons, were more suitable. They also laid down powerful formations at the entrance of the Demon Ruins.

To the demons, the entrance to the Demon Ruins was naturally an extremely powerful demon meridian, capable of attracting a huge amount of demon fiends from the Thousand Demon Realm without end.

The Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion had planned to use the moment when magical creatures poured into Cloud Continent and frantically attacked the frontlines, to gather Origin Core and Dharma Aspect Realm experts and directly create a path through the low-level magical creatures to advance towards the entrance of the Demonic Ruins to restrict more magical creatures from pouring into Cloud Continent.

The Governor-General’s Mansion of the Northwest Region planned to seal the entrance of the Demon Ruins after killing all the demonic creatures in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea in one fell swoop, completely resolving the future troubles.

Obviously, during the first battle, the mo race’s plan was much better.

A year ago, Chang Xi cultivated the Origin Pill and returned to the Northwest Region from Dragon Gate Sect. When she learned that Chen Xun had been killed by Xia Xiangyi, she broke into the Southern Ridge alone and killed Gu Yangzi, but was repelled by Lord Crimson Brow who had left seclusion.

After that, Chang Xi went to Mountain Parasol and found out that Chen Xun was trapped in the sea of flames and that his life was not in danger.

Afterwards, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng, and the others led 10,000 elite barbarians into the Northern Ridge with Chang Xi, meeting up with the Divine Night Haoran Sect disciples, preparing to help Chen Xun escape from the sea of flames.

The sea of flames suddenly exploded. The spell formation set up by the Divine Night Haoran Sect and the Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion along the first vanguard line was destroyed by this sudden change.

Zhao Cheng’en and Hu Tai Yan’s new sealing formation was extremely narrow, so apart from Chang Xi and Gu Cheng Zhuo leading their elite disciples to help, Tie Xintong and Gu Jian Feng led their brute force and continued to follow Crimson Pine to defend the second defensive barrier 200 miles behind them.

That was also the location of the Divine Night Haoran Sect’s mountain gate.

In the end, the remaining sea of flames that hadn’t disappeared for fifty to sixty kilometers exploded. The Azure Dragon Ridge, which was more than two thousand kilometers away, also sensed a strange change in the fastest time possible.

The divine soul mark Chen Xun left behind in the Void Origin Palace hadn’t been extinguished, so Mountain Parasol naturally knew that after Chen Xun successfully escaped from the sea of flames, he would definitely meet up with the Divine Night Haoran Sect first.

Lei Wanhe, Su Tang, Su Lingyin, Jiang Bingyun, and the others led twelve Profound Thunder Chariots and set out from the Azure Dragon Ridge to assist the Divine Night Haoran Sect and receive Chen Xun.

Nearly at the same time, Ji Lie led over a hundred disciples from Crimson Maple Castle to assist the Divine Night Haoran Sect.

After the two groups of people arrived at the Nature’s Night Sect, they were barely able to open a path to reinforce the defective fortress from the sea of hundreds of thousands of low-level magical creatures.

The Northwest Region Governor’s Mansion was between four and six hundred kilometers away from the entrance of the Devil Ruins. There were more than a dozen defensive barriers, set up a sealing array, A large number of generals and cultivators stationed in the Northwest Region remained motionless. It was only when they saw Ji Lie and the others enter the defensive base from the north that several Aspect realm experts led thousands of cultivators from the east, south, and west to attack the entrance of the Demon Ruins at the same time, seizing the defensive base destroyed by the azure flames and attempting to reconstruct the first frontline …

The first batch of magical creatures had already retreated. Hundreds of thousands of magical properties had already retreated within 60 miles of the entrance of the Demon Ruins. That was the border area covered by the Demon Fiend Array.

“Although there were quite a few remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect who sneaked into Cloud Continent earlier, the past ten years have been blocked by the sea of flames, and the demons are completely unaware of our plans in the northern ridge of Mount Tu. I suspect that the magical creature we came into contact with earlier poured into Cloud Continent, “It’s just a probing move by the demons. The demons are only using it to detect our strength, so as to avoid incurring heavy losses by throwing in elite troops when the situation is unclear.” Chen Xun frowned and said to Master Crimson Pine and Ji Lie, “It would be a big mistake if we thought that the demons are only that strong.”

Ji Lie nodded, agreeing with Chen Xun’s judgment.

The strongest low-grade magical creature that surged out from the first stage was only equivalent to a peak Heavenly Yuan Realm martial cultivator, while the weakest was only equivalent to a peak True Yang Realm martial cultivator, and the number of hundreds of thousands of them was shocking.

If all the magical creatures that poured into Cloud Continent were only at this level, things would be easy to handle. The Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion was sure to be able to organize over a hundred Origin Core and Dharma Realm experts to tear apart the army of demons and directly attack the entrance of the Demon Ruins to seal it.

The magical creatures first blasted open the sea of flames, then sent out a large number of low-level magical creatures to test the deployment here, and then took advantage of the indecision of the Governor-General’s Manor to quickly set up a powerful Demonic Fiend Array at the entrance of the Demonic Ruins. Everything seemed to be arranged in an orderly and well-planned manner …

This was the most terrifying thing.

They thought that the Thousand Devil Realm was a demonic creature with low intelligence, and it would be more appropriate to call it the demon race just because of its intelligence or like Chen Xun.

*************************

At this moment, three mountain and river chariots were rushing over from the northwest fortress. The leader was a Daoist Primordial Core, wearing emerald green spiritual armor and carrying a gigantic Scarlet Flame Spirit Sword. He stopped a hundred feet away and bowed, “Daoist Chen, Daoist Ji, Marquis Canglan, Cuiwei Fairy, and General Fu Yan are to summon four of them to the Old Dragon Lake for discussion.”

“Lie to me, so that some people can take this opportunity to kill me again?” Chen Xun sneered and said loudly, “Daoist Yun, please go back and tell General Fu Yan. Marquis Yuan Wu said that unless they bring over Lord Crimson Brow and Gu Yangzi’s heads, you don’t want me to be tricked by them again.”

Seeing Ji Lie and Master Crimson Pine’s indifferent expressions, Cuiwei Fairy Chang Xi’s expression was as if they would never mind killing them without knowing what to do. Yun Zhou was also filled with bitterness.

Yun Zhou smiled stiffly and persuaded, “We should put aside our past grudges and help each other in the same boat …”

“It’s easy to get rid of our past grudges. Let Lord Crimson Brow and Gu Yangzi come over and get rid of our past grudges!” Chen Xun sneered.

Yun Zhou saw Chen Xun and the others’ expressions and knew that they would never be recruited by the Northwest Governor’s Mansion again. He was also helpless. If he had known that Luo Yuze was unwilling to come over to be a lobbyist, he would have expected to suffer such a tragic fate.

Ten years ago, when General Fu Yan recruited Chen Xunshi to investigate the enemy situation in the Flame Sea, Xia Xiangyi took action to ambush and kill him. Afterwards, True Monarch Crimson Brow and Gu Yangzi took the matter into their own pockets. They insisted that Chen Xun was a disciple of the Divine Night Sect who had bullied and annihilated their ancestors. At the same time, Xia Xiangyi was killed on the spot by General Fu Yan. The entire matter became a mess. The Ce Tianfu symbolically reprimanded True Monarch Crimson Brow. Gu Yangzi paused without any substantial punishment.

Wu Shan’s strength was weak, so he wasn’t afraid that Wu Shan would be able to overturn the heavens. However, who would have thought that Chen Xun would be able to escape unscathed after being forced into the Flame Sea by Xia Xiangyi and being trapped in the Flame Sea for seven years?

Chen Xun said, “Daoist Yun, go back. Have General Fu Yan send someone to take over this defensive fortress. We’ve been fighting here for a day and night. We actually need Thousand Sword Sect, Mengshan Sect, and Mountain Parasol to rush over from thousands of kilometers away. I think General Fu Yan is too embarrassed to ask us disabled soldiers to defend this fortress …”

Yun Zhou was stunned. He didn’t expect the Nature’s Night Sect to abandon the defensive fortress here, but he couldn’t refute it.

In the initial chaos, more than a thousand disciples of the Divine Night Haoran Sect, the Thousand Swords Sect, and the Meng Mountain Sect stayed here for a day and night, attracting all the magical creatures that had originally poured into Cloud Continent, so that the Governor General’s Mansion of the Northwest Region could calm down and adjust its arrangements in the north and west.

However, it wasn’t until Ji Lie led the troops from Crimson Maple Castle three to four thousand kilometers away that the Northwest Region Governor-General sent troops to attack the entrance of the Devil Ruins. To be honest, Yun Zhou was ashamed to see Crimson Pine, Ji Lie, Chen Xun, and the others.

Seeing that Ji Lie, Crimson Pine, and Chen Xun had already made up their minds to abandon the defenses here, Yun Zhou knew that it would be difficult to persuade them to put aside their past grudges. Although God-controller Mansion had countless experts, they still had to rely on the Divine Night Haoran Sect and Mountain Parasol to defend the northern defensive line in times of crisis, and they could not forcefully force Chen Xun and the others to lower their heads.

Yun Zhou had someone bring down the boxes of medicinal pills that General Fu Yan had promised him, so he had no choice but to lead them back to the defensive fortress in the northwest.

************************

After a day and night of fierce battles, the Nature’s Night Sect had almost exhausted all of their medicinal pills. More than a hundred disciples had died in battle, and the other disciples’ potential was almost exhausted. Their spiritual veins and spiritual seas were somewhat damaged, so they had no choice but to hand over the defensive barrier to the Northwest Governor’s Mansion to retrieve it. They retreated to the Heavenly Pillar Peak, which was more than two hundred miles away.

The demons hadn’t changed much for three days in a row. The Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion had regained the frontline. After setting up the formation, they continued to attack the entrance of the Demon Ruins on a probing basis. However, they were defeated in several battles, and their results weren’t very good.

The Demon Fiend Array set up by the demons at the entrance of the Demon Ruins was unimaginably powerful.

The Demon Array covered an area of nearly a hundred kilometers. Logically speaking, the defensive power allocated to each point would be diluted to the extreme. However, Fu Yan and Jiang Jue were unable to shake the Demon Array even if they gathered six Aspect Realm Adepts to attack together. This meant that even if the Demon Array did not reach the level of the Heaven and Earth Array, the difference was not too great.

Apart from that, there had been no major movements in the past three days.

The more this happened, the deeper the dark clouds that pressed down on Chen Xun and the others’ hearts.

Everyone knew that the longer the demons prepared, the sharper their offensive would become.

As for the fiendish black clouds within the fiendish array, no one knew what the fiendish race was preparing within the fiendish array.

“The demons are planning to fight a protracted war. We need to be prepared for a protracted war!”

The Divine Night Haoran Sect’s entrance to the Heavenly Pillar Peak was extremely crude. Scarlet Pine Master, Hu Taiyan, Zhao Cheng’en, and the others had stayed together with their disciples for the past ten years, and their living conditions were exceptionally simple.

Chen Xun and the others were determined to put aside the Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion and set up a new stove. Tianzhu Peak had now become their headquarters for gathering and discussing matters.

Inside the thatched cottage, Chen Xun urged Ji Lie and Gu Wentian to give up Meng Mountain and consolidate the mountain, gathering their limited strength at the northern foothills of Tu Shanxi.

Shen Xiao Haoran Sect’s mountain gate was located at a distance of less than two thousand kilometers from the Azure Dragon Ridge. A line of defense could be drawn between the two, covering the northern foot of Tu Shanxi and the lake wasteland behind.

Chen Xun had a clear understanding of the distribution of Mountain Parasol’s spirit veins. In the past ten years, the Divine Night Haoran Sect had given a rough idea of the distribution of the spirit veins in the northern ridge of Mount Tu.

A large number of spiritual veins and acupoints were distributed from the northern ridge of Mount Tu to Mount Wushan. The number of spiritual veins and acupoints was three to four times that of Mount Divine Night. Among them, there were many strange shapes gathered in various veins, making it convenient for the Meng Mountain Sect and the Thousand Swords Sect to move into the rebuilding gate.

In this way, apart from concentrating their limited strength in one direction to defend, they would also throw the defenses from the south and east to the Northwest Domain Governor-General’s Manor. There was no need to worry that the Northwest Domain Governor-General’s Manor would be able to lay hands on them behind their backs.

In order to fight a protracted war, there must be a long-term plan for the supply of people and supplies.

Although Chen Xun and the others had managed to defend the remnant fortress and knock back the magical creature in the battle against the remnant fortress, more than a hundred disciples had died in battle, and most of them had cultivation levels above the Reincarnation Realm.

When the four sects added together, there were only 1,400 disciples at the Reincarnation Realm and above, and there were more than a hundred of them in a single day’s battle. If this fierce battle lasted for more than half a year, the foundation that the four sects had managed to accumulate would be completely exhausted.

Since the first devastating disaster, the population around Gushan and Mengshan had suffered heavy losses. In the past ten years, God-controller Mansion had arranged for the population of Gushan and Yunzhong Prefectures to migrate eastward on a large scale.

Without a huge population base, where would the Thousand Swords Sect and Meng Shan Sect recruit disciples with outstanding talent from?

After the current disciples were exhausted in the continuous fierce battle against the demons, and there were no new forces coming up, the Divine Night Haoran Sect, the Thousand Swords Sect, and the Meng Shan Sect would soon be completely defeated.

Previously, Chen Xun and the others had stayed at the remnant fortress for a day and night, and the Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion had remained motionless. All they wanted to do was to see the power of the Divine Night Haoran Sect, the Thousand Swords Sect, the Mengshan Sect, and Mountain Parasol exhausted and crippled first.

At present, on both sides of Mount Tu, the only huge amount of population resources are concentrated in Mountain Parasol.

The three thousand Azure Water Wilderness clansmen had all retreated to the cities at the southern foothills of Mountain Parasol to avoid the devilish calamity.

Not only did Mountain Parasol gather 100,000 Barbarian Martial Cultivators, but the number of disciples of the Academy had also increased to 20,000 within ten years.

Along with the continuation of the war, 30 million barbarians were forced to retreat to several cities to defend themselves. They were unable to leave the city to engage in large-scale farming and pastoral production. Once they ran out of food, the Great Famine would inevitably arrive and Wushan would be defeated quickly.

Only when the Mengshan Sect and the Thousand Swords Sect moved into the northern ridge of Tu Shanxi and the four sects worked together to establish a solid defense line could Chen Xun build a large number of cities in the northern foot of Wu Shan, the northern foot of Tu Shan, the lake wasteland, and other areas, evacuate 30 million barbarian tribesmen, and engage in farming and pastoral production around the city …
