Chapter 116 Deciding to Counterattack (Fifth Update)
Inside the main hall of Lingyue Mountain.
The three Golden Core cultivators sat cross-legged to heal their injuries. Although they had suffered some injuries in yesterday's battle, the three-headed demon king was far weaker than them. With the protection of the magic treasures and formations provided by their sect, they had successfully driven the demon king back.
Among them, the Azure Phoenix Demon King was the most seriously injured. The opponent was a newly promoted demon king, and was somewhat arrogant. In addition, the other two demon kings intentionally or unintentionally made it take the lead.
As a result, he was seriously injured by Yan Yuan Zhenren's unexpected attack, and half of his wing was almost cut off.
He has already retreated to the inner perimeter of the Wanling Mountains to heal his injuries. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, he will not show up again during this beast tide.
After suppressing his own injuries somewhat, the Xuan Dan True Person at the head of the table summoned a disciple and inquired in detail, "What are the casualties?"
"Five Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than three hundred Qi Refining cultivators have perished. Almost everyone who remains is injured, but their overall combat strength is still relatively intact."
The Jade Light Pavilion cultivator quickly replied, "The beast tide has retreated to the inner perimeter of the mountain range. According to the returning cultivators, the Xuan Turtle Demon King is reorganizing the beasts and will likely attack again soon."
"Has a new demon king arrived to provide support?"
"No."
"That beast who only knows how to hide his head in his shell when fighting dares to talk about attacking?"
Yan Yuan Zhenren chuckled. Among the three demon kings, the strongest was undoubtedly the Blood Drinking Demon King. Its true form was a fifth-tier Bloodmane Lion, and it harbored the greatest hatred for the human race.
If we're talking about leading the way, it's the one leading the way. When will it be a turtle's turn?
Master Xuandan nodded, signaling the disciple to leave, and then said, "This old turtle has lived for a thousand years, and it has been present at every beast tide, yet it has not been killed yet, which shows how agile it is."
"I don't think it wants to fight either; organizing the beast tide is just to fulfill the Demon Emperor's mission."
The old man had fought the demon king many times and knew how hard its shell was; it had used all its skills to save its life.
That's why it sent the other two demon kings ahead to put them in a difficult situation, and then pretended to help them break through, so that it could explain itself to the demon emperor.
"Fellow Daoists, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
The Jingxin Master standing to the side had a worried look on his face. This Lingyue Mountain was their sect's territory, and the main people responsible for its defense were their disciples.
Now, watching my disciples perish one by one at the hands of demonic beasts, my heart bleeds.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Dan immediately comforted him, "Fellow Daoist, don't panic. Fellow Daoist Yang from the Bilang Sect should arrive in about half a day."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a rough voice echoed into the mountains from outside.
"Fellow Daoists, are you all well? Yang Yun of the Bilang Sect has come with disciples from various sects and families to provide assistance."
"Friend Yang, you're incredibly fast!"
The three of them were overjoyed and quickly opened the formation to let the cultivators in. Zhang Lingyu and the others below the mountain breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the reinforcements had finally arrived.
As soon as Yang Yun entered the main hall, he saw three Golden Core cultivators rise to greet him and quickly said, "Fellow Daoists, you are injured, there's no need for such formalities."
"I was worried about the situation here, so I came to provide support as soon as I received the order."
"Fellow Daoist, your arrival is just in time."
Master Xuandan hurriedly inquired about the situation in Tianliu City, to which the other party simply smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I came from there."
"The three demon emperors and several true lords fought a great battle, and both sides were injured. They have now retreated to the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range. It is estimated that it will be several days before the next battle."
"That's good."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief. Two of the three demon emperors in charge of attacking Zhao were new recruits, and the Six Sects knew very little about them, fearing that something unexpected might happen when they started fighting.
"Now that you have come, Fellow Daoist, Lingyue Mountain is even more impregnable."
The most delighted person was undoubtedly the one who saw four Golden Core cultivators in charge of defense and the Azure Phoenix Demon King returning severely injured. Even if the Black Tortoise Demon King came again, he would probably return defeated.
In his view, the beast tide here could be said to have ended ahead of schedule.
However, his joy lasted only a few seconds before Yang Yun poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I am not here to defend this place, but to lead you in a counterattack."
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps joking?"
Master Jingxin found it somewhat unbelievable. They could clearly use the formation to resist the beast tide, so why did they have to launch a suicide attack?
"I'm not kidding."
Yang Yun smiled bitterly, "Although Tianliu City has been defended for the time being, Black Wind Ridge was breached by the Blood Fiend Demon King two days ago. The three fellow Daoists responsible for guarding that area have already perished. Blood Fiend has led the demon beasts to join forces with the three Demon Emperors to attack Tianliu City together!"
"The Six Sects heard that you have seriously injured the Azure Phoenix Demon King and requested that I immediately lead my troops to join you. After a brief reorganization, we will head to the inner perimeter to launch a preemptive strike and scatter the beast tide before it begins. Afterward, we will go together to provide support."
After all, it would take a lot of demonic beasts to break through Tianliu City in one fell swoop, and the demon emperors would not attack rashly.
Therefore, the Six Sects wanted to take advantage of this gap to resolve some of the troubles so that they could free up manpower to provide support.
Upon hearing this, Master Jingxin turned pale and anxiously asked, "What about Lingyue Mountain? What if a demon king comes to attack..."
Behind Lingyue Mountain is his Jingxin Pavilion sect. If a demon king were to suddenly appear and break through the formation, how could his sect be saved?
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, you will be responsible for staying behind this time."
How could the Six Sects possibly send all their Golden Core cultivators out to attack? Although the Demon Kings are scattered in various places, who knows where one might suddenly appear?
After listening, Master Jingxin finally felt relieved.
After Yang Yun finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Dan and the other two and asked, "What do you two think?"
"Since it is a consensus reached by the six sects, we will naturally abide by it."
"Alright, let's make some quick preparations and set off first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Should we proactively venture deeper into the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountains?"
Inside the Zhang family camp, Zhang Lingyu was quite surprised to hear this news. She hadn't expected the Six Sects to be so decisive, it seemed they were determined to kill the heavily injured Azure Phoenix Demon King.
"yes."
Zhang Xingyao looked worried. They had no formation to protect them from taking the initiative. Once they went deep into the inner circle, the demonic beasts would surround them from all sides. As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were a little better off and might be able to save their lives.
But the situation is less certain for the remaining members of the tribe.
What worries him even more is that if two more demon kings emerge, they and the others, except for those at the Golden Core stage, will be doomed.
In fact, it wasn't just him who thought this way. Now, all the cultivators in Lingyue Mountain were in a state of panic after hearing this news, and none of them wanted to go.
However, the six sects were too powerful, and they had no power to bargain.
"Is that so..."
Although the Zhang family must now go with the troops, this can also avoid some huge risks. Zhang Lingyu decided to check the intelligence system first, and then comforted them, "Since the Six Sects have asked us to take the initiative to attack, there should be no need for us to die."
"We'll just follow the main group. If anything unexpected happens, we'll have a good chance of survival."
