The Great Wild God - Chapter 321
Chapter 321 Golden Star Fort
As dawn broke, the profound yang energy between heaven and earth began to emanate.
The entrance to the Demon Ruins was only a hundred feet wide. After using two mountain and river chariots to block the demon fiends from spilling out, the black clouds above the Thousand Demon Sand Sea were quickly blown away by the morning breeze. Only then did the Thousand Demon Sand Sea return to its human form …
In a one-day and one-night battle, there were less than 10,000 survivors of the 40,000 Barbarian Martial Cultivators. Most of them were heavily injured.
Even with the help of cultivators, there were still nearly a thousand barbarian martial artists who had refined the demonic fiends that had invaded their bodies, but their souls had already been corroded and collapsed. They only had their bodies left. They sat blankly in the sand, and there was no chance of recovering their minds anymore …
Although the disciples of the Divine Night Haoran Sect were heavily protected at the core of the Four Sect disciples’ grand formation during the war, they absorbed the mighty aura and condensed the ancient dragon. As the ancient dragon was destroyed and dispersed by the demons, the backlash caused more than 60% of the disciples of the Divine Night Haoran Sect to shatter and die.
Master Crimson Pine was also heavily injured, so he could only barely lead the disciples to suppress the entrance to the Devil Ruins.
Zuo Qingmu and the other artificers of the Kui Dragon Pavilion stayed behind. So many disciples from the four sects finally managed to barely cultivate more than forty true artificers. The importance of artificers was fully demonstrated in this battle.
If Zuo Qingmu and the others perished on the battlefield, their losses would be too heavy.
However, the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect and the Meng Mountain Valley suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Ji Lie and Gu Wentian’s corpses were left on the battlefield, and they felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.
Chen Xun coldly looked at the intense battle thirty miles to the south. His heart was as cold as iron. They only sent groups of cultivators to kill the magical creatures near the entrance of the Demonic Ruins, while the others took turns to rest and recover from their injuries.
Qing Xuan walked over and handed several fragments of the Profound Evolution Spirit Armor to Chen Xun, saying, “This may be the last relic left behind by Grandpa …”
Chen Xun’s heart twisted like a knife as he took the fragment of the Profound Evolution Spirit Armor and stored it in his spatial ring.
In order to ensure that the three thousand archers would be able to shoot out the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrows from the strings when they approached the Demonic Array, Grandpa Zongtu, Su Jun, and the rest of the Xuanyan Battle Formation were determined to defend the outside of the Arrow Formation and endure the violent burns of the black flames.
Su Junyuan was the only one who survived. The other eleven people were all killed by the black flames. Only a few fragments of the Profound Evolution Spirit Armor were left on the battlefield.
The faces that Ge Yi and Chen Xun were familiar with also died in the world.
Although Jiang Bin and Daoist Golden Wind might not be able to reduce the casualties of the disciples of the four sects if they attacked the formation from the south before dark, Jiang Bin, Daoist Golden Wind, and the others were still roaming around the periphery of the Sea of Devil’s Bones to preserve their strength. It was not worth the sacrifice of their lives to rescue the disciples of the four sects.
Upon receiving the Heavenly Palace Talisman, the six sects and the various sects of the Northwest Region gathered a total of more than 8,000 disciples under Zhu Ying, the vanguard of the Governor’s Manor.
As for those who could truly think about the overall situation of Yunzhou State and dare to fight against the demons, almost all of them followed the disciples of the four sects in steadfastly advancing towards the entrance of the Demon Ruins, including Song Xuanyi, Zhao Weichu, and the other disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect who had great resentment towards Chen Xun before the war.
In the bloody battle of a day and night, more than a thousand of them had their lives destroyed, while the remaining two thousand cultivators and the disciples of the four sects had gathered at the entrance of the Demon Ruins to recuperate.
At this moment, Luo Yuze, Daoist Chu Yue, Huitong Ji Lie, Gu Wentian, and the others walked towards Chen Xun.
Qing Xuan knew that they were discussing something. She walked towards Aunt Yun, who was seriously injured, and sat cross-legged on the sand to recover from the tearing of her spirit veins.
“What should we do next? Should we retreat to Iron Star Fort first?” Daoist Chu Yue looked at Chen Xun and directly asked the most concerned question.
Although Chen Xun’s cultivation was low and inferior to the Origin Core Realm experts present, this fierce battle undoubtedly proved once again that Chen Xun’s role could not be ignored.
There was no Profound Thunder Battle Formation that could endlessly absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Without Chen Xun’s immortal cave magical artifact supplying a large amount of Spiritual Qi to the disciples of the four sects during the war, just the Profound Talismans and medicinal pills that the disciples of the various sects usually stored, as well as the Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Energy in their bodies, none of them could even withstand the moment they approached the Spiritual Array Formation.
Without three thousand archers and a hundred thousand Azure Flame Lotus Arrows, it would be impossible to tear apart the Demon Array in an instant.
After tearing apart the Demon Array, everyone relied on the power of the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow to annihilate all demons, destroy the demon banner, and successfully advance to the entrance of the Demon Ruins.
The remaining Demon soldiers temporarily dodged the attack and chose to break out south because they were undoubtedly afraid of the power of the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow. Otherwise, even if the disciples of the four sects who had been half-crippled had the determination and will to fight to the death, it would still be very difficult for them to resist the elites of the remaining Demon soldiers and make a few more ferocious counter-attacks.
Daoist Chu Yue looked at Chen Xun and thought in her heart, even if she was lucky enough to win this battle, would God-controller Mansion be able to tolerate him afterwards?
Daoist Chu Yue thought to herself that this question was really hard to say. It was truly shocking that a Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivator actually possessed such a subversive power.
A man is not guilty, but he is guilty.
If Chen Xun was still the direct disciple of the Divine Night Sect’s Sect Leader, there was naturally no need to worry about this. However, at this moment, it was really hard to say anything.
The Jiang clan took advantage of the disaster four thousand years ago to replace the Ji clan. How could they not be prepared for others to replace the Jiang clan?
Daoist Chu Yue sighed in her heart. However, she knew that subduing the devil was what she wanted. Even if God-controller Mansion had any thoughts, he could still restrain them for the time being. She was determined to get rid of these distracting thoughts from her mind and see if Chen Xun had any other thoughts about the next plan.
Daoist Chu Yue, Luo Yuze, and the others agreed to retreat to Iron Star Castle and borrow the sealing formation of Iron Star Castle to recuperate.
Whether they could save Daoist Golden Wind or not, Marquis Yuan and the others were secondary. They definitely did not have the ability to participate in the battle at the Old Dragon Lake, so they could only watch the battle from the Thousand Demons Sand Sea.
The Demon Array had been broken, and the Demon Race’s foothold at the entrance of the Demon Ruins had been eradicated. Their bloody battle intent of not fearing life and death had already been realized.
Whether the Old Dragon Lake could defend it or not, it was meaningless for them to defend the entrance to the Devil Ruins or not.
The demon race’s main force waved their troops back to the north. Their strength would definitely not be able to defend the entrance to the Demon Ruins.
Even if they retreated to the Iron Star Fort and left the entrance of the Demon Ruins, it was impossible for the demons to set up a new Demon Array within three to five days.
As long as the reinforcements of the Ce Tian Manor could arrive within three days, they would still be able to tear apart the demon race army that had been reclaimed from the Demon Ruins without the support of the Demon Array. If the reinforcements of the Ce Tian Manor hadn’t arrived three days later, the overthrow of the Cloud Continent wouldn’t be something that could be recovered by their strength.
“Let’s go pick up Golden Star Fort!” Chen Xun clenched his fists and said forcefully, “If the demon race’s main force retreats, we can borrow Golden Star Fort to delay as much time as possible …”
Daoist Chu Yue looked at Luo Yuze. Luo Yuze nodded in agreement with Chen Xun’s plan.
Golden Star Castle was the only way for the demons to retreat back to the Thousand Devil Sand Sea. They thought of delaying the demons’ retreat to the Thousand Devil Sand Sea. The sealing array set up by Golden Star Castle was the only assistance they could draw on.
The peak Mountain and River Sealing Formation could defend a ten mile radius like a golden soup. Attack, it could attack a powerful Origin Core Realm enemy a hundred miles away.
With the help of Golden Star Fort’s sealing array, although they could not prevent the higher demons from crossing the mountains and returning to the entrance of the Devil Ruins, it was possible to seal most of the lower demons in the valley to the north of Golden Star Fort, preventing them from entering the Thousand Devil Sand Sea. This was to create favorable conditions for the Tianfu reinforcements to arrive.
“Jiang Bin will definitely send a direct subordinate to guard Golden Star Fort. This person doesn’t agree to let Golden Star Fort go. What can he do?” Even though they had fought bloody battles in life and death, Song Xuanyi still didn’t feel that Chen Xun could shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding everyone. “Are we going to forcefully attack Golden Star Fort?”
“If they don’t give up Golden Star Fort, we’ll kill them and give up.” Chen Xun said with killing intent. He felt that Song Xuanyi’s question was really unnecessary. He had already done both the first and fifteenth days of junior high school, so what else needed to be taken into account?
As for the Heavenly Policy Manor’s investigation of the matter, they would first have to eliminate the World Devastating Demonic Tribulation.
Gu Wentian worriedly asked Ji Lie, “Senior Brother Crimson Pine, will Taiyan agree to our plan?”
“Reverend Crimson Pine and Reverend Hu are mortal beings. Everything can be considered as the overall situation. Chen Xun’s plan is most beneficial to the overall situation. They won’t not support it” Ji Lie said.
****************************
Zhao Chengen, Su Shousi, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others led the barbarians to escort the injured back to Iron Star Fort in the north.
Chen Xun, Ji Lie, Crimson Pine, Chang Xi, Luo Yuze, Song Xuanyi, Zhao Weichu, Hu Taiyan, and the others led the disciples of the various sects to circle around from the left wing and insert themselves into Golden Star Fort.
The Void Origin Pearl Spirit Land collapsed. It wouldn’t take a day or two for it to return to its original state. Fortunately, most of the disciples of the various sects had cultivators at or above the Reincarnation Realm. It wasn’t difficult for one of them to fly with an elite archer in the air, but their speed was slightly slower.
Outside Golden Star Castle, Chen Xun and the others didn’t have much nonsense. They directly pushed the formation forward and ordered Golden Star Castle to open the restriction of the sealing formation, allowing them to take over Golden Star Castle.
The guardian general of Golden Star Fort was undoubtedly the direct descendant of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty, but the cultivators who stayed behind to guard Golden Star Fort were not the main disciples of the Marquis Manor of Yuan Dynasty.
The direct descendants of Mansion of Marquis Martial stationed at Golden Star Fort, With 600 Reincarnation Realm cultivators and 300 Black-armored Cavalry Generals riding the Mountain and River Chariots as the main force, They had followed Jiang Bin into the Sea of Devil’s Bones-in fact, Jiang Bin was already prepared to lead Mansion of Marquis Martial’s direct descendants to withdraw from Tu Shan at any time. They hadn’t expected that they would fall into the current predicament. At this moment, the hundreds of cultivators who stayed behind to guard Golden Star Fort were mostly disciples of the various sects of the Northwest Region who had been heavily injured in the previous war.
These people had been able to fight bravely in the previous battles. This bloody battle, they couldn’t go to the battlefield again because of their injuries. However, they could see the performance of the four sects’ disciples and Mansion of Marquis Martial’s direct descendants in the bloody battle one day and one night.
Crimson Song Zi, Ji Lie, Daoist Chu Yue, and Luo Yuze swore to cut off the demon army according to the Golden Castle and wait for reinforcements from the Ce Tian Manor. They didn’t hesitate to join forces and put Jiang Bin’s personal guards under house arrest, unlock the restrictions of the sealing formation, and welcome the disciples of the four sects to the Golden Castle …
“Evil thief, evil thief!”
Jiang Bin was two hundred miles away, and seeing this scene, he was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were about to crack, and he cursed repeatedly.
He was the dignified Marquis Yuan’s heir, the Elected Marquis who was expected to inherit the throne. He had always been the one riding on someone else’s head to pee. How could he have ever been bullied like this?
It was fine if the disciples of the four sects didn’t come to help him. They actually took a detour and forcefully took the Golden Star Fort that he had established in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea. They could endure it, but who couldn’t endure it?
However, so what if Jiang Bin couldn’t bear it? They were currently trapped within the remnant elites of the Ten Thousand Devil Race, struggling to hold on.
In order to avoid disturbing the remaining elites of the demon race from surrounding them, the disciples of the four sects actually took a detour from the Iron Pine Castle two hundred kilometers away from the left wing and pounced straight on Golden Star Castle!
“We have to break out of the encirclement at Golden Star Fort in the dark!” Daoist Golden Wind sent out his divine sense and communicated with Jiang Bin …
The veins on Jiang Bin’s forehead twitched violently, and he knew that Daoist Golden Wind was right.
We have to break out of the encirclement before dark.
In the daytime, the Profound Yang Qi that grew between heaven and earth was dense, and it could suppress the demons. After it was dark, they would exhaust their Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Essence, and the medicinal pills on their bodies would be exhausted for most of the years.
They also had to break out of the encirclement towards Golden Star Fort.
Chen Xun and the other thieves would definitely not help, but they would break out of the encirclement of Golden Star Fort. As long as the demons felt threatened by the four Golden Star Fort disciples, they would definitely withdraw from the encirclement …
However, in order to cover for the disciples of the various sects to break out of the encirclement, the remaining Mountain River Chariots and the black-armored cavalry that could form the Mountain River Battle Formation had to be deployed on the periphery.
These were all the direct descendants of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.
Thinking that when they broke through to Golden Star Fort, the elites of the Yuan Marquis Manor would most likely be exhausted, Jiang Bin’s heart was bleeding. He wished he could catch Chen Xun, Ji Lie, Gu Wentian, and the other thieves and stab them with thousands of knives and tens of thousands of blades.
