Chapter 117 The Army Sets Off (First Update)
After chatting with Zhang Xingyao for a while, Zhang Lingyu made an excuse to return to her room.
Then the intelligence system was immediately activated.
[Level 3 Intelligence: Today, Tianliu City dispatched True Person Kuiyun with a group of cultivators to the inner perimeter of the Wanling Mountains to gather intelligence on the Demon Emperor. They were ambushed by the White Refining Demon King en route. Except for True Person Kuiyun, who escaped alone, the entire group was wiped out. Those wishing to proceed should proceed with extreme caution.]
[Level 3 Intelligence: Today, the Blood Fiend Demon King breached Black Wind Ridge and has joined forces with the three Demon Emperors. They will attack Tianliu City in five days. If you wish to go there, please proceed with caution.]
[Level 3 Intelligence: After being severely injured by True Person Yan Yuan of the Blazing Sun Prefecture yesterday, the Azure Phoenix Demon King has returned to his territory, Azure Phoenix Mountain, to heal. If you wish to go there, please proceed with caution.]
"Qingfeng Mountain, isn't this the place we're going to?"
Zhang Xingyao had already told him the intelligence he had just received: the arrival of the Bilang Sect's True Person as reinforcements was to launch a preemptive strike and kill the heavily injured Demon King in one fell swoop.
Zhang Lingyu pondered for a moment, then quickly entered information about the current status of the Xuan Turtle and the Blood Drinking Demon King.
[The Xuan Turtle and the Bloodthirsty Demon King are stationed at Qingfeng Mountain and are regrouping their demon army. They will attack Lingyue Mountain in five days. If you wish to go there, please proceed with caution.]
"So they were all here. It seems they're afraid we'll go and kill the Azure Phoenix Demon King."
Zhang Lingyu was not surprised at all. These two demon kings had been fighting against the human race for many years, so they naturally understood that the other side would not give up this opportunity and would definitely want to kill the Azure Phoenix Demon King.
They decided to gather the demon kings while guarding the area. If the demon kings came, the cultivators would be surrounded by the demon beasts. If they didn't come, they would gather all the demon beasts and launch a one-shot attack to break the great formation of Lingyue Mountain.
However, they miscalculated one thing: they didn't expect that right after the battle ended, a True Immortal without any injuries would come to their aid, along with hundreds of cultivators he brought with him.
They certainly didn't expect an attack the next day.
After all, the demon kings' plans were all based on the completion of the gathering of demon beasts, but now most of the demon beasts are under the command of other demon kings, so it is probably not an easy task to mobilize them.
"In that case, the three masters' plan might actually succeed."
Zhang Lingyu nodded secretly. The demon beasts were unfamiliar with formations, leaving Qingfeng Mountain completely exposed to them. With the number of people on both sides being almost equal, they were bound to suffer a crushing defeat.
Moreover, the Azure Phoenix Demon King is seriously injured, so he will definitely be at a disadvantage in a fight.
After learning that no other demon kings would be coming to support the attack, Zhang Lingyu felt much more at ease. Just as he was about to close his eyes and meditate in preparation for tomorrow's battle, he suddenly remembered something.
So he reopened the intelligence system and silently entered the following: "[Location of the treasures stored in Qingfeng Mountain of the Wanling Mountains.]"
After seeing the results displayed by the system, he finally nodded in satisfaction.
The next day.
As dawn broke, the Zhang family and their entourage set off towards Qingfeng Mountain.
Apart from the Golden Core cultivators and disciples of the Tranquil Heart Pavilion who stayed behind to guard Lingyue Mountain, all other cultivators participated in this counterattack.
Although many cultivators were unwilling, they couldn't fight against the powerful and had no choice but to comply.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the army launched this counterattack not from the air, as that would be too conspicuous. Although advancing on the ground would be slower, it would reach Qingfeng Mountain in less than half a day.
The three Golden Core cultivators remained silent in the front territory, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Although the chances of success this time were high, unexpected events were inevitable.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, are you confident you can kill the Azure Phoenix Demon King in a short time?"
After leaving the mountain, Master Xuandan had been somewhat worried. He was a conservative cultivator and did not want to take any risks.
Although they no longer cared about their remaining lifespan, the lives of thousands of cultivators below them were in their hands.
If something goes wrong and these people can't get back, then it's safe to say that the Lingyue Mountain defense line will completely collapse.
At that time, the demons will rampage through, destroying countless aristocratic families and sects. Of course, the most serious issue will be that Tianliu City will be under immense pressure and in danger of being breached.
"Senior, there's no need to worry. The sect has already bestowed upon me a high-grade Golden Core magic weapon before I arrived. This time, I will definitely make that beast's head roll."
Yang Yun seemed very confident. The three of them had already discussed it beforehand. This time, Xuan Dan Zhenren would be responsible for delaying the Xuan Turtle Demon King, while Yan Yuan would deal with the Blood Drinking Demon King.
He himself then attacked Qingfeng Mountain with his magical weapon, killing the heavily injured Qingluan Demon King, before going to support the two of them.
If we're lucky, we might even be able to kill one!
"Oh? I didn't hear you mention it yesterday, fellow Daoist. May I ask which sect you're referring to?"
"This is a technique used by my sect leader in the past, called the Spiritual Mystery Qi Tower."
"So that's what it is. Now that this item has been brought out, the Azure Phoenix Demon King is surely doomed!"
Xuan Dan and Yan Yuan, the two True Immortals, immediately showed joy on their faces. Although they had never seen this magic weapon before, they had heard of it very much.
This item is made from Nine Heavens Mystic Iron and Sun Essence Gold, and it is known for its offensive and suppressive power.
Once the magic weapon was unleashed, countless golden locks surged forth, pulling the opponent into the tower and suppressing him. Then, the tower immediately released the Nine Heavens Gale, causing his soul to suffer excruciating pain as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives.
Even worse, the Nine-Bend Spirit Flame scorches the body.
It's safe to say that once you enter the tower, escaping is practically a pipe dream; in the end, you can only obediently be refined and perish.
It is said that the sect leader of the Bilang Sect once wielded a magical treasure, and neither righteous nor demonic cultivators dared to provoke him, fearing that their cultivation would be completely purified and turned into a golden core.
"These are all exaggerations. The sect leader said that only six or seven Golden Core cultivators perished in this tower. It's not as terrible as the outside world says."
"Aren't six or seven Golden Core cultivators enough?"
Master Xuandan cursed under his breath, then laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm relieved. I'll do my best to delay that old bastard. I urge you to use your magic weapons to finish this quickly!"
After flying for nearly half a day, the cultivators were finally able to catch a glimpse of the Azure Phoenix Mountain, where the demon king resided, in the distance.
This mountain is thousands of feet high, and its peak is shrouded in swirling blue gales all year round, making it look quite spectacular.
Almost all cultivators have never been to the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, let alone approached the lair of a Golden Core Demon King.
"Let's all stop for now."
"
Once they reached a certain distance, the three Golden Core cultivators stopped abruptly and sent a message to the cultivators below: "Recuperate in place. We will attack again in two hours!"
Their attack was a surprise, and after half a day of flying, most of the cultivators' magical power was no longer sufficient. Charging forward now would undoubtedly be a futile suicide mission.
As for their current location, it's just outside the Golden Core Demon King's perception range. If they go any further, they'll be discovered, and then the surprise attack will turn into a defense.
