(What do friends end up doing together after having a good time and dinner? The answer is – playing poker. It’s a bit vulgar, but it’s really fun.)

The four top sects each have top magic weapons and peerless masters. They rely on each other's strength. At the same time, they are allied with major, medium and small cultivation sects. Together, the four top sects and the sects they are allied with cover almost half of the world of cultivation. It can be said that it is intricately connected and affects the whole body. If it really breaks out, it will definitely be a brutal and long-lasting battle, which will probably damage the order of the world even more than the demonic disaster.
However, the experts in the world of cultivation are not fools. They naturally know that if they really fight with each other, both sides will suffer losses and no one will be able to gain the favor. Besides, everyone is a righteous cultivation sect, and they have all been "comrades" before, and they have to pay attention to some principles. If they start a war rashly, I am afraid they will be ridiculed by the world. This is also the aspect of the righteous way that is more restrained (or hypocritical) than the evil way. No one wants to be accused of "rashly starting a war". So this conflict is just loud thunder and light rain. It seems like it is about to break out at any time, but in fact the parties have no real intention to carry out the process. From the fourth month of exorcising the demons to the eleventh month, although the major factions are accumulating supplies. Preparations for war seemed imminent but never started.
The leaders of each major sect all have hundreds of years of experience in the world of cultivation. They are either cunning or cunning. In short, none of them are stupid. Naturally, they can see that they can't fight each other. If the stalemate continues, they will only waste their strength in vain. So by the tenth Both sides have been thinking about peace talks for a month.
If you can no longer be subdued by your momentum, then fight. If you can't be subdued, then let's discuss, fight, and compromise with each other until you reach a result that satisfies most people. This is the law that has been respected by the righteous cultivation world for countless years. Although it is protracted and complicated, it is always much gentler than a simple and brutal war.
Unfortunately, it was not until the twelfth month that all the major factions had sent high-level figures to start discussing the carve-up plan with the Kunlun faction. When bad news came - the demons had invaded again.
This news excited the "masters" of each faction so much that they did not expect that after being defeated once, these demons dared to invade again without learning a lesson. The major factions sent people to investigate the cause and situation of the demon invasion while gearing up for preparations. Give the monsters a harsh lesson. ——Since we can defeat you once, we can defeat you a second or third time.
But the cruel reality soon calmed down these confident cultivators.
The scale of the demon's invasion far exceeds that of previous times. There are twelve demon-god-level strongmen who are equivalent to the ancestors of the immortals, and there are as many as 100 demigod-level and high-level demon lords who are equivalent to the peak of the late stage of returning to the void; There are thousands of middle and low-level demon lords in the early and middle stages of returning to virtual reality; as for lower-level demon leaders and high-level demons, there are even countless more. Even the lowest-level demons are mostly demon soldiers brought by these lords from the demon world. Their strength is at least one step stronger than the demons that mutate after being demonized in the human world.
According to the news from the spies and those masters of cultivation who have magic such as "clairvoyance", it is said that the demon army descended on the world at night, and its power was earth-shattering. Ten space channels with a radius of five miles were torn open. The demonic energy The demon army filled the air with cries of ghosts and gods, descending from the sky on a huge boat of darkness, traveling through the space passage and descending on the earth. Countless demons surged out of the dark ship like locusts and pounced on them in all directions, turning everything they passed into dust. Even a city guarded by cultivation masters cannot withstand such a huge impact. The better ones have experts protecting some people from leaving; the worse ones have the city destroyed and people killed.
In one night, the demon army swept across more than 20,000 miles of land, wiped out more than 200 cities, killed millions of people, and suffered countless losses in property, food, and equipment. If the demon gods were not cautious and feared that they would expand too quickly and be ambushed and besieged by cultivators, the demon army would have been feared. The advancement distance is even greater.
After the demon army came to the world, it was not like a demonic disaster. It just roared in the mountains and wilderness and carried out seduction operations. Instead, it was quite organized and neatly planned out the territories of their respective races, and then began to use magic to build cities and build demon gates to summon the power of the demon world. Demonizing the surrounding environment provides a more comfortable environment for demons. According to the observation statistics of various people, the number of demons coming this time is ten times that of the previous time, and they are more regular and powerful. The threat is far greater than that of the previous time.
With such a huge scale, I don’t know how much it cost the demon world to resist the restraining force of the plane and the local rules of the human world and bring the demon army to safety. Are all the demon kings in the demon world crazy, and they have descended on such a huge group of people at all costs? You must know that if you want to bring powerful creatures from different planes to the human world that belongs to the main material plane, you need to consume a lot of power of faith and various materials. Moreover, the strength of the creature will be suppressed by the rules of the main material plane and cannot be recovered. All strength. How much material and faith power will such a huge group of legions cost the demon kings of the demon world? Even if they can afford this kind of consumption, aren't they afraid of completely irritating the fairy world and causing the fairy world to intervene and intensify the conflict at a higher level?
After learning of this situation, the top leaders of all the major sects were shocked. They never expected that the Demon Realm would dare to go so far. Although the Demon Realm is powerful, the cultivators have the Immortal Realm as a backing. Isn't the Demon Realm afraid that this will trigger a new round of immortal demons? A big war?
The cultivators of the major sects were puzzled, but the crisis had arrived and they had no choice but to take action. Under strong external pressure, the righteous cultivators who were originally seemingly inseparable once again united and closely cooperated with the Song Dynasty court to fight against the demons.
This time it is no longer the kind of charity-like help to mortals in the past, but a complete alliance. Various cultivators distribute elixirs and exercises to recruit disciples for training, and the Song Dynasty court also organizes people to strengthen training and build defenses. Everything is for A target to fight the demon guardian race
