Become a fairy alone

The Red Demon Ant-Men and the Water Banyan Clan suffered a crushing defeat in their first attack on Dragon's City, leaving behind a trail of corpses and severed limbs before retreating unwillingly. They subsequently launched several more attacks, all of which were cleanly and decisively repelled by the defending forces, without even being able to force the enemy to activate their defensive formations.

Both races were somewhat disheartened, not because the losses were too severe—compared to their numbers, the casualties were considerable and bearable—but because they saw no hope of conquering Dragon City.

In comparison, the situation was more difficult for the Lan Yun Bamboo Monk. The Lan Yun Bamboo Monk also encountered a situation similar to that of Meng Fu Mountain, and was outmaneuvered by the Tu Jia Cave Lion and Yun Yan Spider Demon tribes.

The force on that side was mainly composed of the Shizi Clan, supplemented by the Dragon Wolf Riders, and the Zixiao Flying Rainbow Formation formed by the Zixiao Palace. The performance of these armies on the battlefield was also very strong. Over the years, the Dragon Domain has been constantly fighting against the outside world and engaging in continuous internal exchanges, and the combat strength of the various clans has been gradually honed.

The army had a clear advantage in a direct confrontation, but the monk Lan Yunzhu was weaker than Meng Fushan. He could only barely hold off two old monsters on his own and was even injured. After retreating into Longyan City, he used the formation to block the enemy's attacks. The situation only stabilized after Palace Master Lei Peng arrived.

From two different directions, four powerful figures at the level of Ghost Lord and Demon Lord appeared one after another. The attack on the Dragon Domain from different directions was a long-planned attack, which made the higher-ups of the Dragon Domain pay more attention than ever before.

Before Dragon Domain could retaliate with swift and decisive action, crushing its opponents, the Golden Dragon Bells rang out simultaneously from the other two directions. The shadow of impending war instantly enveloped the entire Dragon Domain.

Wen Yan and Gu Han speculated that such a situation could only be orchestrated by a powerful emperor behind the scenes, but the fact that a powerful emperor was so patient was unexpected.

Without understanding the other party's intentions, the dragon army, the cornerstone of the entire Dragon Realm, did not act rashly.

While the Dragon Domain was besieged on all sides, some of the patrol teams below also experienced some bloodshed.

With a whoosh, the surrounding weeds and leaves transformed into sword energy, crisscrossing and engulfing several red-scaled ant-men.

Yu Xiaoqiao, dressed in a green dress, stepped out from the mountains and fields. Her dress fluttered in the wind as she looked at what was in front of her with a frown.

She had already wiped out no fewer than a dozen of the Red Demon Ant-Man's elite patrol squads. This was the first time she had encountered the Red Scale Ant-Man before, and all six of them were powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Demon Body Realm.

The opponent was clearly an anomaly among the Red Devil Ant-Men. If she hadn't used a trick to divide her forces and trapped them in the formation, Yu Xiaoqiao wouldn't have revealed herself so easily at this moment.

She wasn't afraid of the three demons in front of her, but this area was no longer safe. She could encounter other infiltrated demons at any time. If she couldn't defeat her opponents quickly, she might be surrounded and attacked, making it difficult to escape.

“Although you used secret techniques to boost your strength in a short time and barely reached the level of Nascent Soul Demon Body, you would at least be a leader among the Red Demon Ant-Men. It’s rare that you were assigned to a patrol team. What are you looking for? Tell me and I’ll give you a quick death,” Yu Xiaoqiao said softly.

She had already used soul-searching techniques on some low-level red demon ant-men, including juniors at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, but had not obtained a single useful piece of information. Yu Xiaoqiao could only turn her attention to the stronger demons.

Since entering the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm in the Dragon Domain, battles large and small have been constant, and Yu Xiaoqiao has experienced countless trials and tribulations.

She personally participated in the battles against the ferocious beast tides and insect swarms, but this time the enemy's actions were truly bizarre, so Yu Xiaoqiao didn't rush back to Long'ang City, thinking about whether she could figure out the reason.

“What a beautiful fairy! A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. If you know what’s good for you, let us out. Join our Ant-Man race and you can save your life. Otherwise, you will surely die. The Dragon Lord has not returned. This time, you will definitely not be able to defend the Dragon Domain.” The shortest and stockiest Red-Scaled Ant-Man among them chuckled strangely.

Even after falling into Yu Xiaoqiao's formation, they didn't panic much. With their sharp eyesight, they could tell that this formation was a rare mother-child formation with extremely high concealment, but it also had high requirements for using the formation.

Under normal circumstances, the opponent's cultivation level was slightly higher than theirs, and it would take two people to fully unleash the power of the formation. The group repeatedly probed the surroundings but did not find a second person besides Yu Xiaoqiao.

With only Yu Xiaoqiao present, there might be a threat, but keeping all three of them here would be easier said than done.

"Is that so? In that case, then go die." Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly smiled sweetly.

A powerful wind surged within the formation, sending weeds and leaves flying in all directions with seemingly no discernible pattern. However, as they drifted, the three Crimson Scale Ant-Men were completely enveloped in the attack.

The Crimson Scale Ant-Men resisted for a while, but they sensed that the attacks from the grass, trees, and fallen leaves were not only endless, but also seemed to be increasing in power. This was clearly not right.

Just then, figures emerged from the strong wind, drifting about like leaves in a gust of wind, without any discernible pattern.

"There's one more person!" the Crimson Scale Ant-Man cried out in alarm, a sense of terror rising within him.

But by then it was too late. The figures floating around were as light and weak as falling leaves, but the sword energy they brought was extremely sharp. The three red-scaled ant-men were struggling to defend themselves, and no matter which direction they charged, they were blocked by layers of sword intent.

With a series of sharp sword strikes, the sword energy transformed into broken grass, leaves, or fleeting figures, piercing through the defenses of the three demons and leaving wounds on their bodies.

In their terror, the three Crimson Scale Ant-Men each summoned their defensive treasures, attempting to break through the pressure, but were intercepted and brought back.

Whoosh! A moment later, a figure shot into the sky from inside. A sword light flashed, and the heads of the three Crimson Scale Ant-Men were suddenly severed from their bodies. The sword intent pierced into their heads and bodies, strangling them. Screams of agony followed one after another. A short while later, the primordial spirits of the three demons were also annihilated.

Yu Xiaoqiao reached out and summoned several array plates from the dense forest into her palm. A lotus clone identical to her also merged with her main body.

"You can see through the formation, but you can't see through my lotus clone. What's the use?" Yu Xiaoqiao's lips curled into a faint sneer. Her gaze drifted into the distance.

Based on their interactions with the other party, Yu Xiaoqiao discovered that the Red Devil Ant-Man's infiltration wasn't entirely aimed at their patrol team; it seemed they were searching for something important.

It seems that the Water Banyan Clan, as well as other powerful demons, have joined in, but the areas they searched were slightly different, and Yu Xiaoqiao only encountered a portion of them.

Even their escape route has been blocked; these demons and monsters must have something big up their sleeves. We'll have to see what they're up to.

After a moment's thought, Yu Xiaoqiao sent out a communication jade talisman. This patrol team included many powerful Nascent Soul cultivators; she was just one of them. Given the gravity of the situation, Yu Xiaoqiao knew this wasn't the time to act recklessly. She needed to call for reinforcements.

You can sense the other person's location from a distance using your divine sense and communicate directly, but this method is too noisy.

After using the communication jade talisman, Yu Xiaoqiao smiled slightly. She stretched out her palm and a jade ball with array patterns swirling around it like a snake appeared in her hand. Yu Xiaoqiao whispered a few words to the jade ball and then put it away.

Then, Yu Xiaoqiao's figure flashed, directly transforming into the vegetation. Using the laws of nature, she could now transform into grass, trees, and rocks, and could also use these external objects to teleport. At this moment, enemies were everywhere, so caution was paramount. Yu Xiaoqiao didn't overly pursue speed, but instead carefully passed through the powerful among the many Red Demon Ant-Men, namely the Crimson Scale Ant-Men.

Later on, they encountered powerful members of the Water Banyan Clan and the Firefly Snow Clan.

The area these demons were searching was not small, but it was roughly in one direction. They were no longer seeking to hunt down the patrol teams from the Dragon Domain, but were looking for something. The successive discoveries further confirmed Yu Xiaoqiao's guess.

But what does the other side need within this Dragon Domain? Why would they need to go to such lengths?
Yu Xiaoqiao would transform into trees, rocks, clouds, or a gentle breeze, carefully observing the every move of these demons.

The journey was smooth, and several months later, Yu Xiaoqiao's body merged into a blue hazel tree. She saw two earth-armored cave lions emerge from the ground, surrounded by several powerful beings of different races, including the Water Banyan Clan, Bloodscale Ant-Man, and Azure Flame Copper Corpse.

The lead, a large, armored lion, held a leaf in its paw, the leaf shimmering with a faint jade-like light.

Yu Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly, it seemed that this leaf might be related to what the other party was looking for.

The fact that such a large-scale operation is being carried out indicates that the purpose is not small.

Yu Xiaoqiao followed them cautiously. They followed for several months until they finally stopped in a valley shrouded in mist and filled with towering ancient trees.

"It must have been tiring following us all the way here. Come out." The leaves on the palm of the leading cave lion shimmered with jade light, clearly much stronger than those in other places. Lion Fang Ke suddenly retracted his palm and spoke to the vast jungle behind him.

Yu Xiaoqiao was startled. She had been sneaking around carefully, but she had been discovered.

The problem was that she didn't know when the other party had seen through her deception; perhaps they were bluffing her. Yu Xiaoqiao snorted coldly and didn't show herself immediately.

"It seems you still harbor some illusions. That communication jade talisman was intercepted by our people long ago. The reinforcements you requested won't be coming," the leader, Shi Fangke, said with a cold laugh.

"Since she refuses to come out, let's give her a hand." The Azure Flame Copper Corpse stretched out its hand, and a gray mirror heavy with corpse energy floated in its palm.

Several hazy spots appeared in the mirror in the blink of an eye, most of them were these demons, but there were also some that were a bit far away, which looked quite abrupt.

At the same time, Yu Xiaoqiao felt a strange aura sweep past her from nearby. Without further hesitation, Yu Xiaoqiao immediately withdrew and retreated.

"Chase!" A group of demons charged toward Yu Xiaoqiao with murderous intent. Shi Fangke and his two companions, however, stayed behind. Chasing Yu Xiaoqiao would only require a portion of their strength; their immediate priority was to pinpoint their target's exact location.

Yu Xiaoqiao is already trapped; there's no way she can escape. For now, Shi Fangke doesn't need to worry about her.

However, just to be on the safe side, Shi Fangke still sent a telepathic message to the powerful figures in other places to surround Yu Xiaoqiao.

"Damn it, how can this woman in the green dress be so fast!" The two powerful water banyan demons were a little slower and quickly fell behind.

"You think you can catch me just because you found me?" Yu Xiaoqiao smirked as she led a group of demons around. She had come alone and had seen too many demons and monsters along the way. The other party's ambitions were not small, so how could Yu Xiaoqiao be completely without any backup plans?

While they were still dealing with the situation on this side, on the other side, Shi Fangke, Yi Huotong, and Bi Shizhong, following the fluctuations of the jade-colored leaves in their hands, finally locked onto a pool of water that was only a few dozen miles in circumference.

"This is it." Shi Fangke's face lit up with joy. He flicked his hand, and the jade-colored leaves fell into the pool and disappeared. A moment later, the entire pool was filled with a faint, misty jade aura.

"Indeed, this is the place the clan leader is looking for." Shi Fangke laughed heartily, but his laughter quickly froze.

"Someone's there." Antfire Tong and Bi Shizhong also sensed something was wrong.

"Your vigilance is quite high." A low laugh rang out, and several different auras flashed around.

As soon as the laughter rang out, Shi Fangke and the others felt the surrounding space freeze. The originally free-flowing power of laws in the world became stagnant, like a pool of dead water.

"A space-type monster!" Antfire Tong and Green Corpse Zhong were both horrified.

"You have some insight, but it's too late." Ripples spread through the void like water as Kongtong stepped out, flicking his wrist to wave a colorless, almost transparent triangular banner.

A palm strike was unleashed as Shi Fangke wielded the Lion Flame Cloud-Splitting Ruler. The demonic ruler crashed down, causing golden flames to surge all around. The clouds in the void sensed this terrifying fluctuation and shattered.

Antfire Tong swung his sword, and a dozen heavily armored ant generals appeared around him, mirroring his movements. A dozen long demonic swords slashed down, forming a fierce and ruthless sword formation.

The Azure Corpse Bell transformed into a gigantic corpse general thousands of feet tall, and slammed its hammer towards Kongtong. It wasn't that they were making a mountain out of a molehill; it was simply that Kongtong was too terrifying for them. Below the level of Demon Lord or Demon King, they had never encountered such a powerful enemy.

The three of them were quick to act, but before their attacks could combine, three small, shimmering mountains fell from the void.

Without any other fancy methods, three small mountains were pressed down and crashed down on the heads of the three demons.

Shi Fangke, Yi Huotong, and Bi Shizhong tried their best to escape, but these three incomparably powerful crystal mountains followed them like shadows, making it impossible to avoid them.

Clang! The Lion Flame Cloud-Splitting Ruler and a dozen demonic blades seemed to be firmly held in place by the giant corpse general as it tried to block them.

"Old Monster Kongtong, your newly crafted Xuan Tian treasure is truly astonishing. Even those few dragons probably can't defeat you." The Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon of Ksitigarbha appeared from the shadows and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Not entirely. The strength of Fellow Daoists Black Dragon and his companions is extraordinary. A newly crafted Xuan Tian treasure cannot decide the outcome." Kongtong shook his head. He didn't have the habit of underestimating his enemies, but he certainly didn't consider the three before him to be formidable foes. (End of Chapter)
