The Black Gold Demon King is famous among monsters and has a fierce power. But his origin is mysterious, and no one or monster knows his specific origin.
Many high-level monsters have varying numbers of dependents, which can form monster groups of varying sizes.
Like the original Xiang Huanan, not only was he extremely powerful, but the demonized Xiang family members were his most reliable subordinates.
It is with these subordinates as the backbone that he can command a huge army of monsters.
However, the Black Gold Demon King was originally alone and had no subordinates to speak of.
He became famous purely through his personal combat prowess and became rampant among many monsters.
There are also a lot of high-level monsters like him, which is not a strange thing.
Back then, many monsters were unwilling to surrender to Xiang Huanan, so they pushed the Black Gold Demon King out.
Among them, there is the strong support of Zhenjun Mo Qing.
The Black Gold Demon King's original team and most of the monsters directly under his control were provided by True Lord Mo Qing.
Back then, True Lord Mo Qing accepted the order from the Dali Dynasty and led a group of demon cultivators to the Daheng cultivation world to provoke a demonic disaster here.
True Lord Mo Qing is also a ruthless person, who has brought the cruelty of the demon cultivator to the extreme.
Most of the demon cultivators under him were transformed into monsters by him, and then controlled by secret methods.
These monsters blended into the tide of monsters and became the ears, eyes and tools of True Lord Moqing.
Although the Black Gold Demon King was defeated by Xiang Huanan back then, he escaped unscathed and established a sufficiently vicious reputation among many monsters.
After Xiang Huanan's death, True Lord Mo Qing fully supported the Black Gold Demon King's rise to power and handed over all the monsters he could control to the Black Gold Demon King's command.
The Black Gold Demon King is not an easy man either. After becoming the leader of all the monsters in Daheng Cultivation World, he began to form his own family power.
The subordinates given to him by True Lord Mo Qing were deliberately consumed by him in brutal battles.
Of course, due to his own talent issues, the Black Gold Demon King is not the type to easily form a family.
So far, the strength of his dependents is very limited and cannot be put to great use, and they are not qualified to serve as the backbone of the army.
After the Black Gold Demon King and True Lord Mo Qing were defeated, the entire huge army of monsters lost their basic command.
In the eyes of those powerful fourth-level monsters, the Black Gold Demon King was seriously injured and defeated, and was no longer qualified to continue commanding this army.
In order to seize the power to command the army of monsters, those powerful monsters who are qualified will inevitably have a battle between dragons and tigers in the future.
If this was a well-organized army of human monks, it would be a loss of two top experts. However, with the strong strength of the army, they can at least fight and leave, so that Meng Zhang and his men cannot take too much advantage.
However, the treacherous, selfish, greedy and mean nature of the monsters destined this army of monsters without the leadership of a top strong person to become a ball of loose sand.
Except for some monsters who continued to fight out of their bellicose and bloodthirsty nature, most of the other monsters retreated voluntarily.
The few monsters that stayed to continue fighting did not last long before they were killed by Meng Zhang and the others.
Watching the monsters retreating in front of their eyes, except for Meng Zhang and a few others who still had the strength to pursue the victory, most of the human monks were exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
During the more than half a month of holding on, the human monks suffered heavy losses, and most of the remaining monks were injured and in extremely poor condition.
In the end, defeat was turned into victory, and the army of human monks also paid a huge price to win this victory.
This is not to mention the army of monsters and water tribe that were mostly wiped out by the monster army and collapsed long ago.
In fact, Meng Zhang and a few strong men also suffered huge losses and were in poor condition.
However, Meng Zhang and the others must take advantage of this rare opportunity to inflict as much damage on the monster army as possible and drive them as far away as possible so that they will not come back so easily.
After chasing for a long time, Meng Zhang and the others, who had initially achieved their goal, dragged their exhausted bodies back to Wild Dog Ridge.
At this time, except for a few sporadic fighting around, the major fighting has basically stopped.
Most monks seize the time to heal their injuries, or meditate and adjust their breathing to quickly regain their strength.
Some of the monks who had spare capacity were there to treat their companions and occasionally clean up the nearby battlefield.
Why is fighting monsters something that many cultivators avoid?
There are many reasons. The most realistic one is that fighting monsters seems to be impossible to get any loot.
The corpses of monsters must be burned as soon as possible, and areas where monsters have been entrenched for a long time must be purified in time.
This army of monsters swept across the Daheng cultivation world and captured many cultivators' magic weapons and the like.
These magic weapons can be used by monsters after being contaminated by monsters, but they are a hot potato for cultivators.
Not only can cultivators no longer be able to use these instruments, they must also spend great efforts to destroy and purify them.
From a material perspective alone, after this war, the human monks had nothing to gain but sacrifice.
They basically couldn't find any trophies on the monsters.
When the battlefield is cleared later, the high-ranking monks in the army will closely monitor it to prevent any of our own monks from hiding magic items.
The demonic path is very diffuse, and a seemingly inconspicuous little thing may cause a cultivator to become possessed by demons and fall into evil.
Meng Zhang had long ago encouraged the monks in his sect to practice various magical powers to exorcise demons.
After obtaining the Demon-Conquering Mirror, he devoted all his efforts to promote magic spells such as Demon-Conquering Golden Light and Exorcist Clear Light in the sect, and organized the monks in the sect's Artifact Hall to refine a simplified version of the Demon-Conquering Treasured Mirror.
These foresighted arrangements played a huge role in the battle with the monsters, and restrained many of the monsters' methods.
If it weren't for the disparity in strength, the Taiyi Sect monks should be the nemesis of the monster army.
After the war, these arrangements also played a huge role.
Being injured by demonic energy and having the body contaminated by demonic energy was originally a problem that caused many cultivators to have huge headaches and even be helpless. Taiyi Sect monks have targeted treatment methods.
Many monks who had been injured in the war received symptomatic treatment and began to recover quickly.
Regarding the purification of demonic energy, Taiyi Sect has already had measures to deal with it.
Otherwise, when the victor is cleaning up the battlefield, it would be too sad if another monk is contaminated by the evil spirit.
Although there was no time to count the casualties, Meng Zhang only glanced briefly at his own monks below and knew that the situation was not going to be good.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel sad.
For a superior like him, the number of casualties among the monks was just a number.
But for the monk's master and family, it is a living life. For the relatives of these monks, it was even more of a tragedy.
