The Great Wild God - Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Go And Stay
The flood of magical creatures crossed Golden Star Fort and was only six hundred miles away from the Old Dragon Lake.

In the past ten years, the Governor-General’s Manor had specially opened up a stone path in the broad valley between Golden Star Fort and the Old Dragon Lake. Although it could not be considered flat, it was enough to cause millions of magical creatures to surge to the periphery of the Old Dragon Lake in one day.

If Old Dragon Lake’s Soul Suppressing Mountain and River Formation had been dismantled and was ready to be transferred to Golden Star Fort, it would be impossible for it to be redeployed within a day, even if it was discovered that something was amiss with the demons.

With Headmaster You leading the Dragon Gate Sect’s artificers and formation mages, Chen Xun and the others had spent seven or eight days setting up the two Heavenly Star Dragon Severing Formations at the southwest foot of Heavenly Pillar Peak and Canglan New City.

The Soul Suppressing Mountain River Formation, even the lowest level Heaven and Earth Formation, was a hundred times more complex than the highest level Sealing Formation.

Even if the number of array mages gathered in the Old Dragon Lake was a hundred times that of the Heavenly Pillar Peak, it would take ten days and a half months to set up the array flags, array seals, array pillars, and other magical artifacts that could attract spiritual energy and evolve spells on the complex spirit veins of the Old Dragon Lake.

“What should we do?” Adept Chu Yue was able to defend the Iron Star Fort alone. Apart from his profound cultivation at the Origin Core Realm, the most important thing was that he had the style of a great general and the ability to command. However, he was helpless in the face of the current dangerous and evil situation and was filled with fear.

Neither Ji Lie nor Chang Xi could do anything about it. They only wanted to find someone to ask, “What should we do?”

Millions of magical creatures rose up in the air, scattering the ash like snow clouds, forming black clouds hundreds of kilometers in radius, rolling towards the Old Dragon Lake in the south.

Chen Xun hadn’t expected that the number of magical creatures gathered within a sixty to seventy kilometer radius of the Demon Ruins Mouth Demon Array would be nearly twice as large as they had expected.

Crimson Winged Demon Sea did not have a very specific concept of numbers. He only knew that he had close to 1,000 or 2,000 low-level Winged Demons under him. In fact, in the vast sea of magical creatures, the number of flying magical creatures such as Winged Demons was relatively small, accounting for less than one-thirtieth of the total.

It wasn’t the first day of the Flame Sea’s collapse. All of the low-grade magical creatures that poured into Cloud Continent were low-grade magical creatures. Chen Xun and the others could borrow a simple and crude sealing formation to defend for a day and night.

Although these millions of magical creatures were mainly composed of low-level magical creatures, there were hundreds of thousands of intelligent demons among them. There were even more than 2,000 demon generals who had cultivated to the Origin Spirit realm and were comparable in strength to Origin Core warriors.

The hundred plus Heavenly Yao level mo generals had only entered Cloud Continent with the Self-Destruction Demon Pill. A short year was not enough for them to cultivate into the Demon Pill again. However, these Heavenly Yao level demons had destroyed their own Fiend Pills in order to avoid the spatial storm sensation caused by the excessively pure Death Qi Pill Yuan in their bodies when they passed through the spatial passageway, but their cultivation realm had not decreased in the slightest.

Apart from relying on the purity of his own pill essence, he also emphasized borrowing the power of heaven and earth to use the power of heaven and earth to execute the divine abilities of the Dharma Realm. This was the reason why there was the Dharma Realm of Heaven and Earth.

More than a hundred Heavenly Yao level demon generals led more than two thousand little demon generals who had cultivated their primordial spirits, then commanded hundreds of thousands of demons, and then commanded millions of low-level demons. Chen Xun was unable to guess just how powerful the combined combat strength was.

After all, the demons had deliberately stalled for the past year in order to send more demonic creatures and generals to Cloud Continent. The Protectorate had also fought the demons calmly in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea. In fact, they had little contact with and understanding of the demons.

There were countless sects in the Cloud Continent. Cultivators could borrow powerful magic tools and formations to multiply their strength by ten times. Naturally, the demons could do the same.

From the looks of it, even though it would take hundreds of years for the demons to refine a Heaven and Earth Array after the remnants of the Thousand Devil Sect had retreated to the Thousand Devil Realm, it should not be a problem to refine a top-grade sealing array. This also meant that the demons possessed the ability to refine a large number of Earth-ranked profound weapons.

Although Golden Star Castle was guarding a Dharma Form, several Origin Core Formation cultivators, tens of days worth of Origin Core Formation cultivators, and more than a thousand cultivators, there was not the slightest movement as they watched the millions of demonic creatures rush northward like a torrent.

Golden Star Castle was calm like an ice-cold reef wrapped in the ocean currents. The defensive spirit shield of the sealing array shrank to a two-mile radius. The faint spirit light was so fragile under the cover of the rolling demonic clouds.

From the beginning to the end, the Golden Star Fort hadn’t dared to launch an offensive against the flood of demons that passed by their side. Clearly, they were also frightened by the demons who had burned their boats and left their nest behind.

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

“What should we do” After confirming that the millions of magical creatures had passed through Golden Star Fort and entered the valley that led to the Old Dragon Lake, Luo Yuze and the others, who were stationed at the other defensive bases, dared to fly out of the formation and rush over to meet Daoist Ji Lie and Daoist Chu Yue.

Luo Yuze and the others were naturally aware of what had happened to the Old Dragon Lake. Their faces were pale and panicked. Facing the current situation, they were completely helpless.

“Daoist Golden Wind, elect an Emperor and invite Daoist Ji, Pavilion Master Chen, Daoist Luo, and Daoist Chu Yue to the Golden Star Fort for discussion!” A streak of light rushed over. In the blink of an eye, it approached. The streak of light stopped. A middle-aged man wearing a golden silk robe appeared and cupped his hands towards Ji Lie and the others. He anxiously said.

The Golden Castle, 250-60 kilometers south of the entrance to the Demon Ruins, was the main base of the vanguard defense line. Three spirit veins formed a strange shape, setting up a 128-pillar Mountain and River Sealing Formation. There were also nearly a hundred Mountain and River Chariots gathered at Golden Castle.

It could be said that there were more than one-third of the troops in the entire vanguard defense line, and at the same time, nearly eighty percent of the mobile forces were concentrated in Golden Star Fort.

The one guarding Golden Star Fort was Jiang Bin, the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty’s Crown Prince who had enmity with Chen Xun.

Jiang Bin was officially ranked amongst the twelve chosen Marquises of the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty.

After the Governor’s Mansion killed two Core Formation Flood Dragons in the Old Dragon Lake, Apart from the two flood dragon pills that Jiang Bin had to consume, Jiang Bin used the precious blood of two flood dragons to temper his body for ten years. It seemed that his cultivation was still at the early stage of the Origin Core Realm, but his strength had increased by several times compared to ten years ago. A Kui Dragon Banner could kill thousands of magical creatures at a time, commanding a hundred mountain and river chariots and five hundred black-armored cavalry generals. This year, it was as if he had entered an uninhabited land throughout the sea of magical creatures.

Chen Xun glanced at Ji Lie. Before the situation collapsed, everyone should have abandoned their previous enmity and worked together. However, just now, the Million Demon Tide had bypassed Golden Star Fort, yet Daoist Jiang Bin and Daoist Golden Wind had actually stood still. They didn’t even dare to have the courage to restrain the demons. This was enough to prove that these people weren’t capable of conspiracy.

Seeing that Ji Lie, Chang Xi, and the others were hesitant, the messenger who came to report the news anxiously said, “The demon race has dispatched their nest. The situation in the Old Dragon Lake is dangerous. I hope that Pavilion Master Chen will not forget our past grudges! The Elected Marquis also said that as long as we can survive this calamity, we will definitely toast in front of Pavilion Master Chen to thank him for offending us in the past!”

Hearing Jiang Bin’s messenger’s words, the last bit of hope in everyone’s hearts was destroyed.

The Soul Suppressing Mountain and River Formation of the Old Dragon Lake had not been dismantled. Most of the people present, even Luo Yuze, Adept Chu Yue, and the others were only speculating, not knowing the details.

However, as the heir of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, Jiang Bin, who had chosen the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, and the Dharma Realm experts stationed in Golden Star Fort, they were all direct descendants of True Monarch Jiang Mingtai, Daoist Golden Wind. They must have known the details.

Jiang Bin and Daoist Golden Wind both panicked. It could only mean that the situation was even more critical than they had imagined.

Everyone looked at Chen Xun, knowing that although Chen Xun had abdicated the position of Marquis of Azure Water to Ji Dongze, what he had said in the four sects and Azure Water still carried an extremely heavy weight.

“If Crown Prince Jiang had the courage to take action just now, our Kui Long Pavilion, Divine Night Haoran Sect, Meng Shan Sect, Thousand Sword Sect, and Marquis Azure Water Sect would not have cared about their lives at all. They would have died together with Crown Prince Jiang and slain all the devils together.” Chen Xun raised his voice and said, “But at this moment, please, Crown Prince Jiang, Daoist Jin Feng, do as you please! Chen Xun forgive me!”

Daoist Chu Yue, Luo Yuze, and the others looked at each other.

The Azure Water Marquis Manor had never belonged to the Governor’s Manor. He had already tore his face apart.

Chen Xun, Ji Lie, and the others guarded Tianzhu Peak and waited for reinforcements to arrive. They stood by and watched as the Old Dragon Lake was devoured by millions of demons. God-controller Mansion could not insist that they were wrong in the future.

However, Daoist Chu Yue, Luo Yuze, and the others were all disciples recruited by God-controller Mansion from the various sects. They were under the control of the Governor’s Mansion. At this moment, the Old Dragon Lake was in trouble, and they did not do anything to help. In the future, God-controller Mansion would investigate their responsibility and cut off their heads. The sect had no excuse to protect them.

Seeing the hesitation of Daoist Chu Yue, Luo Yuze, and the others, Chen Xun raised his voice and said, “I believe everyone knows that Jiang Bin is lacking in conspiracy. However, if everyone trusts Daoist Ji, Senior Martial Uncle Crimson Pine, and I, Chen Xun, please let us take over Iron Star Fort. Everyone, work together, or there may be a sliver of possibility of turning the tide!”

“If you don’t concentrate all of the power on the vanguard line and hold back the tail of the demon army, you can stay here and watch the tiger fight. If you don’t report your personal grievances with the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, what better plan can you make?”

Song Xuanyi excluded everyone. He did not believe that Chen Xun had the ability to turn the tide. He was more inclined to believe that he still did not forget his personal grudge with Mansion of Marquis Martial. He denied Chen Xun with a single sentence and then said to Luo Yuze and the others,

“The demons are surging southward. The Old Dragon Lake will definitely do everything in its power to slow down the demons’ advance southward. We should gather all our strength and hold off the demons’ army from the rear. As long as we delay until the Soul Suppressing Mountain and River Array is laid down again, we will definitely win this battle!”

“Extremely stupid!”

Chen Xun coldly looked at Song Xuanyi, who had jumped out to steal the limelight, and directly berated him.

If it was him, he wouldn’t have scolded Song Xuanyi’s childishness so strongly, but at this moment, people were panicking. Luo Yuze, Daoist Chu Yue, and others didn’t have their own opinions. If he was suppressed by Song Xuanyi in terms of momentum, it would be difficult for him to convince Luo Yuze and Daoist Chu Yue to obey his plan.

With the strength of the four sects and the Azure Water Marquis Manor, it was still slightly weaker to forcefully attack the Demon Ruins Mouth Demon Array that was defending against the void.

At this moment, he had to suppress Song Xuanyi’s aura with the most intense tone. He must not let the self-righteous Song Xuanyi ruin his plan.

Although Song Xuanyi looked down on Chen Xun from the bottom of his heart, he was restrained and polite when he met Chen Xun. He didn’t expect Chen Xun to point out that Chen Xun had ulterior motives. Chen Xun was actually enraged. A mere Heaven Origin Realm cultivator actually dared to shout at him like this …

How had Song Xuanyi ever suffered such a great humiliation? He took out his spirit sword, and an extremely agile sword light floated above his head like a wandering dragon. He looked at Chen Xun with murderous intent and said, “I have treated you with a lot of courtesy. What do you mean by saying this?”

Chang Xi’s extremely beautiful slender jade finger flicked out a wisp of spiritual energy. When it touched the sword light Song Xuanling slashed out, it turned into an emerald vine and shattered the scarlet golden sword light that Song Xuanyi was trying to threaten Chen Xun. She said, “Senior Brother Song, Chen Xun isn’t directly calling you an idiot. It’s quite courteous. Don’t seek to humiliate yourself.”

Song Xuanyi’s extremely handsome face instantly made his veins jump with rage. He stared at Chen Xun and Chang Xi, never imagining that he would suffer such humiliation when he came all the way to help the sects of the Northwest Domain kill demons with good intentions. Who would have thought that Chang Xi would not talk about the feeling of cultivating in the Dragon Gate Sect for a few years in the slightest?

“Calm down, calm down. Everyone is anxious about the current situation. In an emergency, there is something you can’t say. Everyone, don’t mind it.” Luo Yuze forcefully held Song Xuanyi back.

He could tell that if Song Xuanyi moved again, Ji Lie would stop him.

“Old Dragon Lake, can you defend it? There are two possibilities. Our strength is weak, so rushing to the Old Dragon Lake will not increase our chances of winning. At this moment, demons are pouring out, and the defense at the entrance of the Demon Ruins is extremely weak. If we gather all our strength and attack the Demon Array, I believe everyone will understand the difference!”

Chen Xun said impassionately,

“As long as we can break through the Demon Formation, even if the Old Dragon Lake doesn’t exist, and even if we die in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, the Ce Tian Manor still has the ability to mobilize reinforcements to kill the demons. Otherwise, the situation in the Northwest Domain will be completely eroded, and Yunzhou State will be completely overthrown. Only in this way can we win a chance of survival for the people of Yunzhou State!”

Luo Yuze’s face was pale, and he knew that Chen Xun was still able to maintain a sense of sobriety when everyone was panicking and helpless.

Indeed, if they could join forces with the main force of the Old Dragon Lake and drag the demon army into the deep valley between the Old Dragon Lake and Golden Star Fort, they would be able to reverse their defeat once the Soul Suppressing Mountain and River Array was reconstructed on the Old Dragon Lake.

But this was the best they could predict.

If they didn’t succeed, the Old Dragon Lake would be broken, and millions of magical creatures would turn to attack the north. They would also be unable to retreat, and they would most likely be attacked by millions of magical creatures one by one within three to five days.

When the Ce Tian Manor was able to mobilize new reinforcements, what they saw was still a million magical creatures guarded by the Demon Ruins Mouth Fiend Array. The reinforcements of the Ce Tian Manor did not have a foothold in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, so they would surely receive a head-on blow.

At this point, not only would the Northwest Region, but the situation in Cloud Continent would most likely collapse completely.

Chen Xun advocated concentrating his limited strength and taking advantage of the emptiness of the magical creatures at the mouth of the Demonic Ruins to forcefully attack the Demonic Array, in order to completely destroy the demonic creatures’ foothold in the Cloud Continent.

It seemed that the old dragon pond and the others would not be able to escape the dire end of extinction, but whether or not the fiendish array could be used to deal with the subsequent battles in the Heavenly Palace was too crucial.

If the Demon Array was not broken, the millions of demons in the Tu Mountain would be as strong as rocks and indestructible. Only by breaking through the Demon Array would God-controller Mansion be able to cut off the connection between the millions of demons and the Demon Ruins.

The reason why the situation had changed to this state was because on the day the sea of flames collapsed, the vanguard defense line had suffered heavy casualties from the collapsed sea of flames. They were caught off guard. The old dragon pond hesitated and did not decisively send troops.

Otherwise, at that time, they would have gathered over a hundred Origin Core warriors to attack the entrance of the Devil Ruins without hesitation. It was absolutely impossible for the devil race to calmly set up a devil formation at the entrance of the Devil Ruins.

As long as the entrance to the Devil Ruins was under the direct attack of the Governor-General’s Mansion, not to mention the hundred plus Heavenly Demon Generals, not even the little Demon Generals who had cultivated their primordial spirits would be able to enter the Cloud Continent. The situation would never drag on to such a terrible situation.

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

A few more rainbow shadows swept past the Golden Star Fort in the south and headed towards the Iron Star Fort.

Hong Ying stopped, and Jiang Bin and the others revealed their figures.

Chen Xun had never seen Daoist Golden Wind before, but seeing that middle-aged Daoist Jiang Bin’s aura was extremely faint and faintly merged with the world, he truly had a cultivation at the Dharma Realm. He thought to himself that he should be Daoist Golden Wind, and he wasn’t sure if he was worth trusting.

Seeing Chen Xun, Ji Lie, Daoist Chu Yue, Song Xuanyi, and the others arguing in front of the Iron Star Fort, Jiang Bin furrowed his brows and shouted, “Chen Xun, this duke did have something wrong with you, but you claimed to be the guardian of the Divine Night Haoran Sect. Do you want to sit here and watch the Old Dragon Lake being destroyed by a million magical creatures today?” Don’t tell me you want to sit here and watch the situation in the Northwest get out of hand today? “What was the ambition of your great vows at Godnight Mountain?”

Chen Xun saw that Jiang Bin’s strength was indeed several times stronger than ten years ago. His aura was like a mountain pressing down on him, far stronger than that of Origin Pill Taoist in the ordinary sense. He secretly felt that the two Core Formation Flood Dragons were truly worthy of being heavenly treasures. Unfortunately, Jiang Bin’s strength had increased, but he didn’t have the courage to improve at all.

“I won’t argue with you. I think Mansion of Marquis Martial probably won’t have the face to flee with the Soul Suppressing Mountain River Formation and abandon the Old Dragon Lake this time.” Chen Xun said indifferently.

Jiang Bin scolded Chen Xun with a handsome face that didn’t look like a man’s.

Eleven years ago, although Jiang Bin wasn’t in Yuanwu Prefecture, his father, Jiang Ju, had abandoned three million people in Yuanwu Prefecture City to escape. This was a stain that couldn’t be washed away. As a result, after the Heavenly Dao of Haoran appeared, Chen Xun had gathered the 30 million barbarians alone. The Yuanwu Marquis Manor didn’t dare to openly obstruct him. They actually played ambush, assassassinating such a sinister trick.

However, this time around, it was not for the lord of the Yuanwu Marquis’ Mansion to take charge of the Old Dragon Lake.

The Grand Elder of the Xuandu Cult, True Monarch Ku An, and many other Dharma Form Adepts should have the determination to defend themselves. They should know that there is still a twenty to thirty percent chance of victory. Otherwise, once the Old Dragon Lake falls, the situation in the entire Northwest Region will become uncontrollable.

They escaped for a while, but when the hundreds of millions of demons poured into Cloud Continent, could they still escape for a lifetime?

“I don’t know who, leak the guardian house will concentrate forces to attack the fiend array secrets, so that the demons burned the boat, pre-emptive strike; However, there was one thing that was certain. The demons were also prepared in a hurry. They could not take down the Old Dragon Lake unless they used all their strength. “The magical creatures left behind at the mouth of the Demonic Ruins are bound to be limited,” Chen Xun said in an agitated tone. “Just how much credit did it have for breaking through the Demonic Array, and how crucial was it to Cloud Continent? I believe that Crown Prince Jiang does not need Chen Xun’s guidance …”

Jiang Bin’s expression was uncertain. He hadn’t expected that Chen Xunwei would not follow them down south to aid the Old Dragon Lake. He actually wanted to persuade them to stay and attack the Fiend Array together.

“True Monarch Ku An, the left and right divine might generals have sent talismans to summon everyone to help the Old Dragon Lake. Chen Xun, even if you are afraid of death, you are still here to bewitch people!” A cultivator behind Jiang Bin berated Chen Xun by name.

Chen Xun ignored the other idle characters and stared at Jiang Bin like a hook, saying, “If Crown Prince Jiang is bound by a mere talisman edict, the so-called ambition to ascend the dragon is probably just a joke.”

Jiang Bin glared at Chen Xun gloomily.

Luo Yuze and Daoist Chu Yue also looked at Jiang Bin and Daoist Goldwind, who had been silent since arriving here. Nearly one-third of the troops on the vanguard front and nearly eighty percent of their mobility were under the control of Daoist Jiang Bin and Daoist Goldwind.

If they decided to stay, their chances of winning would greatly increase. At the same time, Daoist Jiang Bin and Daoist Golden Wind disobeyed. In the end, if God-controller Mansion were to pursue the responsibility, Daoist Jiang Bin and Daoist Golden Wind would be in front of them.

“You must know that if the Old Dragon Lake is unable to defend itself, millions of demonic creatures will return to the north at any time. What can we do if we break through the Demonic Array?” Jiang Bin stared gloomily at Chen Xun.

Chen Xunran smiled and said, “To me, it’s just death. But even if I die, I still have to defend the entrance of the Devil Ruins and rush to God-controller Mansion for reinforcements. This is our only choice. As for Crown Prince Jiang, when isn’t fleeing? Why don’t we fight? If we do, Crown Prince Jiang will have the reputation of ascending the dragon.”

‘”Eleven years ago, in order to prevent the situation in the Northwest Region from getting out of hand, Mansion of Marquis Martial chose to endure humiliation and secretly live. This also caused many misunderstandings in the world. Chen Xun, I admit that what you said makes sense, but you humiliated Mansion of Marquis Martial three times. After this battle, we are still dead enemies!” Jiang Bin scolded angrily.

Chen Xun smiled coldly and said, “Prince Jiang, if you have the guts, you’ll know in this battle. Why should you care what I say?”
