Become a fairy alone
Chapter 5737 Negotiation
Wen Yan led a contingent of the Weilong Army to Wanfo City at breakneck speed. In the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, where demons and monsters roamed freely, such a Buddhist domain was quite conspicuous.
Many demons and monsters have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. The bloodthirsty aura, killing intent, or ghostly energy within their bodies has become extremely concentrated, which has affected their state of mind to a certain extent. They need to rely on Buddhist treasures to partially resolve this.
Some are even planning to practice the path of ghosts and Buddhas, or to cultivate both Buddha and demons.
Absorbing the essence and blood of powerful Buddhist practitioners to refine their souls, or obtaining profound Buddhist techniques to improve one's own cultivation path, are all relatively good choices.
The dragon race is coveted in an extraordinary way, but not all demons want to lay a hand on them; many others have other needs.
Since the outbreak of this Dragon Domain War, Wanfo City has been harassed by a large number of demons.
After suffering a crushing defeat, Qiu Meng, the Demon Ancestor, did not even notify his disciple, Chi Meng, or any of his other capable lieutenants in order to escape. He intended to have them continue to disrupt the enemy and prevent the powerful figures of the Dragon Domain from concentrating their efforts on capturing him.
Those ordinary demons who invaded the Dragon Realm were naturally even less aware of the course of the battle.
At this moment, two Night Demons, accompanied by more than ten Night Attendants, traveled through mountains and forests to a temple thousands of miles away.
They were not under the command of the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng; they were here purely to take advantage of the chaos.
The Night Demon of Entangling Marrow had no expectations for the most central Ten Thousand Buddha City, which was the target of the Jade Bone Ghost Lord. The entire Ten Thousand Buddha City was already surrounded by the Jade Bone Ghost Lord's army, making it almost impenetrable.
Although Ying Sui Ye Mo felt that his own strength was not weak, he was no match for a Ghost Lord-level expert like Yu Gu Gui Zhu. In a battle of that level, if they got even slightly close, they would be instantly killed and their souls would be extinguished.
With their limited manpower, they could only exploit loopholes and target some scattered temples outside the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Buddhism flourishes within the Dragon Realm. Besides the core Buddhist region of Ten Thousand Buddhas City, many highly accomplished monks also seek enlightenment in the mountains and rivers outside the city, building hermitages and temples.
The Night Demon of the Entangling Marrow had already destroyed dozens of temples of all sizes and slaughtered tens of thousands of monks. He had obtained some cultivation techniques on jade slips, cultivation insights, or forcibly extracted memories from his victims through soul-searching techniques, along with many treasures, so his gains were considerable.
Although they couldn't compare to the Jade Bone Ghost Lord's forces, the two Marrow-Entangling Bone Demons were satisfied. They planned to take advantage of the intense battle to reap some more benefits before withdrawing.
In the distance, amidst a landscape shrouded in mist and clouds, several pagodas and temples of varying sizes, entirely constructed from bamboo, came into view. The Night Demon's expression brightened slightly, but before he could fully rejoice, his smile froze completely.
The two demons suddenly looked up at the void, and a vast dragon aura swept over them. The sheer number of the demons that could gather such astonishing dragon aura was beyond imagination.
Escape! This was the first thought that popped into the Night Demon's mind.
Before they could even take action, a golden sword light slashed down from the void.
The sword intent pressed against their bodies, and golden light shone brightly all around. The area that was originally unobstructed seemed to have become as hard as metal and stone in all directions, making it difficult for them to move an inch. Only the sword intent roamed freely.
"How could this be? Weren't the dragons entangled by the demons under the command of the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng?" Ying Sui Ye Mo was filled with horror and disbelief, unable to understand what had happened, and his head was already floating away.
"Dragon, Dragon Lord!" As the Night Demon's consciousness gradually blurred, before he completely lost consciousness, only this thought popped into his mind.
"Wen Yan, you can lead the army to rescue Wanfo City. This Dragon Domain has been infiltrated by those opportunistic bastards and must be cleaned up as soon as possible. Why don't Ying Xuanming and I each lead some people to search for these guys?"
Black Dragon was already furious as he saw the destroyed temples and the nests left behind by the original inhabitants of the Dragon Realm. However, the army could not stay for these scattered forces, so he suggested to Wen Yan.
"We can't waste time on these trivial matters. Rescuing Wanfo City is the top priority. After defeating the army under the Jade Bone Ghost Lord, the enemy will scatter and you will have time to keep busy. There is no need to divide your forces now." Wen Yan shook her head.
She was somewhat worried that the number of demons that had infiltrated in the early stages was too large, and that rashly sending some of her people out before eliminating the enemy's main force could easily cause unnecessary casualties.
The enemy has already infiltrated, and it can't be resolved in a short time. The harassment that the Dragon Domain has suffered is a fait accompli, and no matter how much the Black Dragon is upset, it won't make much difference.
"Fine, fine, let's speed things up then. These damned guys, we'll have to take care of them all sooner or later," Black Dragon said resentfully.
Even when the celestial army invaded before, the enemy even used the Eighteen Flying Lands Locking the Universe layout, colliding the Dragon Domain with a giant island. Later, the Dragon Domain was moved into the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, and the battle was generally limited to the relatively outer areas of the Dragon Domain.
This time, several demon armies directly attacked, and other opportunists also infiltrated the area.
The once peaceful Dragon Realm was engulfed in flames of war, reduced to ruins everywhere. The Black Dragons, who had long regarded this place as their home, were naturally furious.
However, they knew that Wen Yan was right, so they could only suppress their anger and rush to Wanfo City at full speed.
Black Dragon and his dragon clan were fully expecting to be able to fight to their hearts' content once they arrived at Ten Thousand Buddha City, but little did they know that Jade Bone Ghost Lord had already received the news and led his troops to retreat before they arrived.
Wen Yan and her dragon clan were not about to give up. They invaded the Dragon Domain, causing heavy casualties in Wanfo City. Thousands of temples and pagodas were destroyed in the war. How could they be satisfied without making the other side pay a sufficient price?
Wen Yan immediately led her troops in relentless pursuit, but the Jade Bone Ghost Lord was not easy to deal with. After suffering some losses, she managed to withdraw her main force from the Dragon Domain by using several ghost armies to block her advance.
The situation was largely the same for the demons in the other regions. The defeated Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor hadn't sent out a single message. However, with the Wind Cave Demon Lord escaping and a large number of Nightmare Deer Riders fleeing, news naturally couldn't be kept secret.
The Jade Bone Ghost Lord, the Crimson Demon Ant Queen, and the Water Banyan Ghost Mother were all mindful of their ally's situation during the battle, and could make adjustments immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Damn it, these cowardly scoundrels!" Compared to Wen Yan, Wen Tingdao, and Gu Han, who were usually composed, Kuanglong Jintong was furious at this moment.
Many of the scattered demons in the Dragon Realm are still in the dark and do not know what happened. However, the main force of demons led by the Demon Lord, the Demon King, or the Ghost King has basically withdrawn from the Dragon Realm successfully.
"Even if we really want to fight, there's nothing we can do." After receiving the news, Meng Fushan rushed over to meet with Jin Tong, Wen Yan, and other powerful figures.
"What solution? Old Meng, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say. We've been in the Dragon Domain for so many years, no one treats you like an outsider." Jin Tong urged him, his anger barely contained.
"The forces of the Demon Lord Qiu Meng were originally in the Black Ripple Dream Domain, which is quite far from the Dragon Domain. The fact that the other party mobilized such a large army without much prior warning suggests that they have likely used the Seven Stacks Island, which is extremely famous in the Black Ripple Dream Domain."
The Seven-Layered Islands function somewhat like a teleportation array, but with some differences. They consist of seven giant islands, serving as stepping stones for spatial transfer in a relatively short time. The Seven-Layered Islands are so vast that only a powerful Emperor-level expert like the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng could personally oversee their setup.
"If the enemy wants to retreat to a safe area in a short time, they will most likely have to return via Seven-Layer Island." "In other words, even after Qiu Meng Old Demon is on his last breath, he will not be able to leave Seven-Layer Island. If the enemy can use this thing, can we also use this damn Seven-Layer Island to fight our way through?" Jin Tong slapped his thigh, his eyes shining.
"If these fleeing demons really manage to escape to Seven Stacks Island, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop, saving us a lot of trouble!"
Xiang Kuang and the other warlike members of the Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon Clan heard this and their eyes gleamed. Being passively beaten was not in their nature.
Although Dragon Domain defeated a powerful enemy this time, Dragon Moon and Ten Thousand Buddha City were almost breached, and Earth Palace City was also severely damaged. Warriors from all races suffered considerable casualties, and they all felt a sense of unease.
Even the old demon Qiu Meng confessed that if the main force of other demons were to withdraw, it would be difficult to swallow this bitter pill.
"How far is it to Qidie Island?" Gu Han asked.
"It will definitely take some time to travel back and forth, depending on the progress of the war. If all goes well, we can return within a few decades; if not, it's hard to say, it could take hundreds or even thousands of years," Meng Fushan said.
"Even tens of thousands of years is but a blink of an eye. There is no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days but not guarding against thieves for a thousand days. The lair of the Old Demon Qiu Meng is in chaos right now."
"If we don't seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and crush them, they might become even more powerful once they stabilize." Jin Tong made no attempt to hide his fighting spirit.
Their previous joint attack on the severely injured Qiu Meng Yao Zu seemed like an amazing achievement, but aside from the fact that so many of them were besieging the enemy, the Dragon Lords mainly focused their power on the power of the totem.
Aside from Yan Ji, Ji Ting, and the completely fallen Evil Heavenly Dragon, including Wen Yan who controls the power of totems, the experience of the others is not particularly strong.
He had finally managed to kill the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng and was looking forward to venting his anger on the other demons, but who knew that they would be so cowardly and disappear in a flash, which really infuriated him.
"If it takes too long, the number of people sent will be insufficient and ineffective, and there is a possibility of uncontrollable losses."
"Drawing too much power from the Dragon Domain could easily shake its foundations. If another powerful enemy invades, the Dragon Domain, with its vast territory, simply cannot defend against the invasion of various demons. At that point, there will probably be very few safe places left in the entire Dragon Domain."
Wen Tingdao also shook his head. It would be good to be able to pursue the enemy, but the risks were too great, so it was debatable.
Meng Fushan didn't say anything more, and Ni Chang closed her eyes to rest. As for Ji Ting and Yan Ji, they were too lazy to even attend such a meeting. Both of them had experienced a great battle and had gained a lot of insights. They would not leave the Dragon Domain unless absolutely necessary in the near future.
"With the Dragon Lord not yet back and after this great battle, all races have suffered casualties. To be on the safe side, it is not advisable to take any major actions for the time being," said Monk Lanyun and Palace Master Leipeng.
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with you guys." Seeing that the guys were all clearly against it, Jin Tong muttered in dissatisfaction.
What the other party said did make sense, but the thought of being passively waited for the enemy to come to him in the Dragon Domain several times in a row made Jin Tong feel uneasy.
"Why don't you go and ask the Dragon Lord for instructions? See what the Dragon Lord thinks?" Xiang Kuang looked at Jin Tong with a hint of amusement.
"I'm not going. Even the Dragon Lord has to call you 'Uncle,' why aren't you going?" Jin Tong rolled his eyes.
Although he was a realm higher than Xiang Kuang, given Xiang Kuang's comprehension and bloodline potential, it was highly likely that he would advance to the Demon Lord level in the future. Just because of how Lu Xiaotian addressed Xiang Kuang, he didn't dare to put on airs in front of Xiang Kuang.
He was mainly unhappy, and upon reflection, he realized that sending troops out was indeed unreliable.
As they were talking, a faint aura suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Dragon Lord!" Wen Yan, Wen Tingdao, Palace Master Lei Peng, and even Jin Tong, who usually didn't respect anyone, all bowed to the detached aura in the void.
This aura originated from the Holy Rock Dharma Image. This wisp of aura, separated after the great battle, was extremely weak, but the faint aura emanating from a Heavenly Dragon Realm expert still weighed heavily on one's heart.
“The situation has changed. Wen Yan, you four Dragon Lords, Lei Peng Palace Master, and Lan Yun Bamboo Monk are to lead your troops to conquer Seven Stacks Island and wipe out the demons,” the phantom of the Holy Pan Dharma Image said calmly.
"Dragon Lord, why is this happening?" Not only Wen Yan and her group, but Jin Tong's mouth was agape for a moment.
He was just trying to vent his emotions and get some satisfaction out of talking; looking back, he knows it was quite reckless.
Who knew that the Dragon Lord, who was always in control of the overall situation, would be even more aggressive than him, practically mobilizing all of the Dragon Domain's direct combat force. Only Ni Chang, Ji Ting, Meng Fushan, and Yan Ji were not mobilized, along with Xiang Qingcheng.
As soon as Jin Tong finished speaking, the other powerful figures looked astonished, with similar doubts on their faces.
Since Jin Tong has already asked, there's no need for them to waste any more words. They can simply wait for the answer. The Dragon Lord wouldn't give them orders without reason; he would surely explain such an important matter clearly to them.
Then a black and gold scale floated down from afar. The powerful aura that suddenly appeared from the scale made everyone present jump in fright.
"Scales of a Heavenly Dragon expert!"
Besides its powerful aura, it also carried a trace of intense resentment that could almost penetrate directly into the primordial spirit.
"Find anything related to this scale and bring it back. You don't need to ask any further questions. Apart from Wen Yan using the power of the totem as a buffer, you can't withstand the resentment inside. Just knowing that this is true is enough," said the illusory image of the Holy Rock Dharma.
"Yes, Dragon Lord!" Wen Yan and her entourage, including the Dragon Lord, Palace Master Lei Peng, Monk Lan Yun, and other direct descendants, all accepted the order.
"Lord Dragon, I am willing to lead my troops to join the expedition," Meng Fushan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"This journey is fraught with danger and the casualties are unpredictable. Are you sure you want to go?" asked Saint Fapan.
“The Demon Dragon Clan and the Dragon Dream Ancestor have some long-standing feuds. Now that we have the opportunity to destroy their lair and cut off their last foundation, we are more than happy to do so,” Meng Fushan said.
"Then let's go." The Holy Rock Dharma Image nodded. (End of Chapter)
