Jinguyuan, the residence of the Hehuan Sect, is located in a luxurious hall.
Old Demon Yunlu sat at the top, and dozens of Danjie elders from the Hehuan Sect gathered below.
The Yuanying old monsters from the Hehuan Sect's Ghost Spirit Sect went to fight with the Yuanying old monsters from the Seven Sects of the Yue Kingdom.
The seven sects found an eighth-level transformed golden dragon from nowhere. It was really difficult to deal with, and the two sides launched several battles.
Fortunately, there was an inaccessible forest below the battlefield chosen by both sides. Otherwise, if the aftermath of the battle spread within a hundred miles, there would be no humans or animals left.
The old monsters on both sides showed off their magical powers, releasing powerful spells one after another, and offering powerful magic weapons and ancient treasures. In short, after the battle, the forest had turned into a pitted wasteland.
As for whether the old monsters used their trump cards to press the bottom of the box, only you know.
In the absence of the Hehuan Old Demon, although their demonic side had a slight upper hand, trying to kill the opponent was simply a fantasy.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that existences above Nascent Soul on both sides were not allowed to interfere in the war, and the war was only limited to the Dan Formation stage and below.
Because once the Yuanying old monsters on both sides intervene in the war, they can easily kill all the monks of the other side who have formed a core and below. In this way, the result of both sides will only be mutual destruction, which no one wants to see.
If a sect's core-forming monks and foundation-building monks were killed, there would naturally be no new Nascent Soul monks born in the next few hundred years. This would have a huge impact on a sect.
.............
Old Demon Yunlu was also slightly injured in the previous Nascent Soul battle.
Logically speaking, he should have gone to recuperate like his Yuanying old monster, but after receiving the battle report about Jinguyuan, he was furious and went directly to the Jinguyuan battlefield.
"Dong, dong, dong." Old Demon Yunlu tapped his fingers gently on the handle of the chair.
"The battle report mentioned that the results of a year of fighting in Jinguyuan were only five small fortresses and the advance was less than 300 miles."
"Aren't you all experts at killing people and exterminating clans? Why did the war turn out like this? Huh?"
Old Demon Yunlu sat at the top and looked at the dozens of elders in the pill formation stage in front of him, and said in a calm tone.
The whole place fell silent for a moment, and as the atmosphere became heavier, a heart-stopping spiritual pressure filled the entire hall.
Except for a few old immortals who had reached the late stage of pill formation and were extremely shameless and looked like it had nothing to do with them, the other pill formation monks were panicked.
"Red Pink, Skeleton, and Death, you three are responsible for commanding the army. Please explain to me..."
Two male cultivators wearing masks and a voluptuous female cultivator wearing a red and white dharma skirt quickly knelt down on the ground.
One male cultivator wore a Ghost Spirit Sect mask but had the Hehuan Sect logo tattooed on his hood. The other male cultivator was carrying a blood-colored sickle and had a thin figure.
The two male cultivators lowered their heads and said nothing. The female cultivator glared at them and said, "If you two guys don't talk, why don't you let me take the blame?"
In fact, the two male cultivators knew that one of them was born in the Ghost Spirit Sect and the other was born in a family affiliated with the Hehuan Sect. Only the female cultivator was a direct descendant of the Hehuan Sect.
Therefore, it is inconvenient for them to say certain words, because once they say something, someone may die.
The female nun finally bit the bullet and pushed forward.
I saw the female cultivator raised her head and looked at the ancestor pitifully, and said softly: "Ancestor, we led the children to capture the opponent's No. 5 Fortress three months ago. As a result, the entire fortress was bombed not long after entering. It went up to the sky, and the bursting flames shot straight into the sky!"
"It turns out that those bastards from the Seven Sects filled the underground of the fortress with pyrotechnics and self-destruction prohibitions. The ground is still paved with some kind of special material that isolates spiritual consciousness. There are no clues at all."
The female cultivator couldn't help but grit her teeth when she said this.
"In order not to arouse our suspicion, they deliberately put on a show of full resistance."
"After the other party held on for a day, the remaining troops were damaged and left in the teleportation formation. We will activate the talismans and restrictions after our troops have settled in."
"That explosion caused the death of hundreds of children, which was more tragic than the casualties caused by two or three thousand-person battles between the two sides!"
"My husband also entered the fortress at that time. Fortunately, he is a physical practitioner and only suffered some injuries. He will be fine after a year or two. If I had entered...!"
When the female cultivator said this, a hint of fear appeared on her face.
Old Demon Yunlu looked at one of the male cultivators who was kneeling on the ground with the Hehuan Sect logo tattooed on his hood. His breath was indeed a little weak, and he was obviously injured.
Yunlu looked at the female cultivator and slowly said: "So you haven't attacked the fortress recently, but just fought sporadicly with the seven sects in the wild?"
The body of the female cultivator in the red dress trembled slightly, she quickly knelt down and said with a trembling voice:
"Ancestor atones for his sins. We will definitely fight to the death in the future!"
Old Demon Yunlu stared at the three of them for a while, thinking that the three of them were relatively diligent and hard-working among the elders, and much more reliable than some old guys who were good at protecting themselves wisely. Finally, he waved his hand and said: "Stand aside!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and quickly stood up and stood aside.
Old Demon Yunlu looked at the middle-aged male cultivator on his right and asked: "How are the battle losses and gains?"
The middle-aged male cultivator gritted his teeth and said: "Since the beginning of the war, our cannon fodder has suffered more than 11,000 casualties, the foundation-building monks have suffered more than 500 casualties, five alchemy-forming monks have died and seven have been injured, six large flying boats have been lost, and supplies aspect..........."
"The number of casualties on the other side is probably the same..."
The middle-aged male cultivator added in his mind: "Maybe... maybe the other party died less than us." But he would not dare to say this even if he died.
"Crack!" Old Demon Yunlu crushed the handle of the chair and said in a cold voice: "Why do my elite demons have the same casualties as the monks from the seven sects? Can any of you tell me?"
The pill-forming monks looked at each other, and finally an old man in the late stage of pill-forming said softly: "Ancestor, it's not that we and the juniors below don't work hard, it's that the enemy is too cunning!"
"Especially that Jiang Yun. He released a large number of Yunjun and Phantom Cloud Wolves on the battlefield. These spiritual beasts possess wind concealment skills and are responsible for detecting the movements of our scattered teams."
"With their wind control abilities, these Yun Lords can transmit messages to each other over long distances through the wind. I heard that there are many Earth Spirit Rats on the battlefield who can escape to the ground to convey information, so the other party's information flows very quickly!"
"We captured some monks from the Seven Sects. After interrogation, we learned that those beasts can even read maps!"
"They will point out the location of our team of monks to the teams of the seven sects and help them communicate with each other! Let the nearby teams of monks of the seven sects carry out encirclement and suppression! It often creates a situation of more fighting against fewer..."
"Even if our demon elites are stronger than the other party, we will inevitably suffer huge losses if we are besieged!"
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Old Demon Yunlu anxiously.
"Then why don't you kill those damn beasts quickly! Can't we, the Hehuan Sect, not even be able to deal with some beasts?"
Old Demon Yunlu roared, obviously he was so angry that he couldn't even maintain his usual calm attitude.
Seeing the anger of old demon Yunlu, the elders in the Danjie stage did not dare to breathe loudly. The elders who were stared at by Yunlu felt an aura of death.
Seeing the ancestor's anger, the old man continued bravely: "The concealment ability of the Wind Hidden Technique is extremely strong, and monks of the same level cannot detect it at all unless they observe it at close range with their spiritual sense."
"It just so happens that those beasts have excellent eyesight, vision, and nose and smell. They can see and smell the movements of our monks hundreds of meters away. They do not affect the investigation at all at night. There is no need to get close to our team of monks."
"And those beasts are wind-attributed spiritual beasts, and none of them are slow, so even if someone finds them underneath, it will be difficult to catch them!"
"These beasts are very cunning. They never take action against our team of monks. They only attack our lone scouts."
"We old guys have personally caught them before, but those beasts are not only smart but also very perceptive. When they sensed something was wrong, they immediately ran away towards a nearby stronghold. It took a lot of effort for us to capture a third-level Yunjun and a dozen or so others. Phantom Cloud Wolf.”
"And we found something troubling..."
Old Demon Yunlu looked down without saying a word, as if waiting for the old man's words.
The old man clapped his hands, and a dozen strong men carried a huge cage in from the outside.
"Ouch! Hoo! Hoo!" A roar and a sound like a blower sounded.
Lifting the cloth covering the cage, inside the cage was a huge snow-white wolf-shaped monster with three tails behind it, and its neck and limbs were tied with chains.
But even so, he still kept his ferocity and roared at the people nearby, the chains rattled, and streams of bright red blood flowed out from the locked parts.
Looking at Yunjun Yunlu, who was grinning with teeth and a fierce face in front of him, he snorted coldly, and a heavy spiritual pressure fell on it.
Soon the Yunjun was pressed to the ground, the bones in his body creaked, and his mouth and ears began to bleed.
"This...is this?" Old Demon Yunlu seemed to have discovered something.
The old man quickly said: "Ancestor, you also discovered that this Yunjun is engraved with runes that isolate spiritual consciousness."
"A person who can engrave runes on high-level spiritual beasts has reached the level of a master-level rune maker."
"Except for this one, the same is true for the other captured and killed Phantom Cloud Wolves... Coupled with their Wind Hidden Technique... it is simply delusional for monks of the same level to discover them. .”
Everyone present suddenly had an idea.
What a despicable and shameless person to think of this trick! Is this something a normal person can think of?
Old Demon Yunlu took a deep breath, stared at Jun Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Even if these beasts help the low-level monks, then how did the casualties of our monks in the alchemy stage come from?"
The Danjie elders below all turned pale when they heard this, and many of them felt a headache.
The old man continued: "It's still because of Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun has many high-level spiritual pets. He has a fifth-level demon scorpion that can escape from the earth at a long distance! It comes and goes without a trace!"
A monk next to him added: "There is also a high-level spirit crow. The speed of this spirit crow is really amazing. It has carried several or even a dozen alchemy monks on its back to sneak attack on our important strongholds several times."
"After the sneak attack was completed, we ran away decisively. Several junior brothers and sisters were surrounded and killed because we were too late to reinforce them."
"Junior Brother Tiger, who is the fastest among us, originally caught up with the spirit crow! But the spirit crow used some kind of secret technique to throw away Junior Brother Tiger!"
"We twice set up large formation traps to lure Jiang Yun to attack, but the opponent didn't take the bait! Instead, he went to sneak attacks elsewhere!"
"I suspect that someone among us has leaked the news, because only the elders and I know about the plan to ambush Jiang Yun, not even the foundation-building monks and qi-training monks below."
This person looked serious, and seemed to have determined that there was a spy inside.
The others looked ugly, but did not refute the old man's words, which showed that they agreed with this idea in their hearts.
What they don't know is that someone can detect everyone's spiritual power light spots from a distance by relying on the spiritual pupil. Even if they hide in the formation and block the detection of spiritual consciousness, they can't cover the spiritual pupil.
When Jiang Yun saw a material stronghold a few kilometers away and there were several spiritual powers at the level of pill formation, he naturally would not be fooled and evacuate decisively to choose other targets.
Therefore, Mo Dao's plan to ambush Jiang Yun is simply a daydream.
.............................
Old Demon Yunlu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, rubbing his brows.
"This is my order to suspend the offensive and order the rear to replenish supplies and cannon fodder as soon as possible."
"After the cannon fodder supplies are replenished, invite the other party for a large-scale army battle."
"If the opponent does not fight, we will directly attack the opponent's position, aiming directly at the opponent's large fortress!"
"Send someone to the Ghost Spirit Gate stronghold to report the matter, and both parties will act together. In addition, we can go to the Demon Flame Gate to rent a hundred Demon Fire cultivators. It doesn't hurt if the price is higher."
"I will obey my ancestor's orders!" Everyone said in unison.
Everyone knew in their hearts that a war was about to begin, and the casualties would be heavy, but it would still be much better than the previous aggrieved situation, so one after another they expressed that they would make the seven factions look good.
The old man hesitated for a moment and said: "Ancestor...about the spy..."
Old Demon Yunlu opened his eyes and slowly looked at the elders below.
After a while, Old Demon Yunlu said: "There is a special ancient treasure inside the door that has the ability to ask questions. Although it requires a lot of spiritual stones to activate it, I can't care about this many. I will send a message to the door to deliver it." Come."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and dozens of pink cherry blossom petals floated out, one petal falling into everyone's brow.
"I have placed a spiritual mark to track your whereabouts. Monks below the middle stage of Nascent Soul cannot remove it."
Yunlu looked around, frowned, and said, "Where is Yan Xuanyu?"
"Ancestor, Junior Brother Yan was seriously injured and is in retreat." A female cultivator in white robes replied.
Yunlu nodded slightly. He only asked because of Senior Brother Hehuan. After all, it would be troublesome if he was the direct disciple of Senior Brother and died on the battlefield.
In short, as long as he didn't die, he didn't need to worry about other aspects.
"Stand back!"
"Yes! Ancestor!"
Old Demon Yunlu had been observing the performance of these people before, and found that everyone looked unafraid of investigation, secretly thinking that this traitor was really difficult to deal with.
After everyone retreated, Old Demon Yunlu looked at Jun Yun, who was seriously injured and dying, but still roared at him with unabated ferocity. He seemed to see Jiang Yun declaring war on him.
He suddenly felt that the country of Yue was much more difficult to conquer than he had imagined.
In previous wars, as soon as the demonic army arrived, some of the enemies would switch sides, some would become neutral, and the remaining part would be directly defeated by the demonic army.
"Jiang Yun...!"
Old Demon Yunlu felt it was a big headache. He issued a reward a few years ago, and indeed two late-stage pill-forming monks who were nearing their longevity accepted the reward, but asked the Hehuan Sect to pay the reward in advance.
This is understandable, because after killing Jiang Yun, life span will be exhausted instantly due to the backlash of luck. It is a mission where Jiang Yun must die regardless of whether he can kill Jiang Yun. The purpose of asking for some reward is to leave it to future generations. It can be regarded as selling one's life and wealth. .
These old guys accepted the reward and cast a life-and-death curse, promising to kill Jiang Yun with all their strength before leaving.
But so far, I have not received any news that Jiang Yun was killed...
"I remember that two senior brothers only had less than a hundred years left in life...
This idea stayed in Old Demon Yunlu's mind for half a breath before dissipating.
"That's all. The older you get, the more you fear death. It's better not to bring trouble on yourself!"
"It is also a problem that the spiritual plants and spiritual herbs of the sect will easily get sick after killing them. The heavenly golden elixir... is troublesome!"
"But if you let him live, there will be endless troubles. According to the classics, lunatics like this usually give birth around two hundred years old, and they will be in the middle stage of Nascent Soul at three or four hundred years old. By then, Senior Brother Hehuan will have passed away and I'm afraid... ....."
"Fortunately, he is not one of those carefree guys. Jiang Yun has family, family, sect, and disciples. He can be considered a tethered young dragon."
"But this Jiang Yun actually raised so many spiritual beasts. Could it be that his quirk is raising spiritual pets?"
