Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1072 Desperate situation?

"Roar!"

With a roar, the raging bear demon rushed towards Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan did not fight back, but dodged and observed the surrounding battle situation.

Soon, he discovered some other things that were not right.

It's not that something's wrong, it's just that it's strange.

Baiyun Zhenjun led two demon king soldiers into the sky, where they engaged in a fierce battle. However, Yang Zhengshan discovered that Baiyun Zhenjun was not using his full strength.

Que Lingyu also led the two demon king soldiers away, seemingly to the west, where there were signs of battle.

Both of them were fighting two against one, and the battles seemed intense, but Yang Zhengshan knew that neither of them was using their full strength.

Baiyun Zhenjun didn't even use his own spiritual weapon, and Que Lingyu was even more ridiculous. With her speed, there was no need for her to fight the demon king's Yin soldiers. According to her fighting style, she should have been waiting for an opportunity to strike, and there shouldn't have been such intense battle fluctuations.

"Brother Yang? What do you mean by this, Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister?" Yunxiao suddenly asked via telepathy.

Yang Zhengshan's mind raced. "You're just going through the motions, so be careful. If things get really bad, slowly move away from the battlefield!"

In an instant, Yang Zhengshan understood the meaning of Baiyun Zhenjun and Que Lingyu.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect can participate in the battle, but the Myriad Flower Demon Court must also participate.

They were waiting for the people from Wanhua Demon Court to show up.

After thinking it through, Yang Zhengshan was no longer in a hurry to kill the Violent Bear Demon King in front of him, and instead began to fight the Violent Bear Demon King.

Fortunately, this raging bear demon king is quite resilient, making it perfect for practicing shooting.

The battlefield expanded, and the waves of energy surged more intensely.

In Zhenyang Immortal City, the Zhengyang Formation was still trembling, Shui Ling and Leng Xuan were still exchanging blows across the formation, and thousands of cultivators were still attacking each other with thousands of Yin soldiers.

Outside the celestial city, True Lord Baiyun, Yang Zhengshan, and others were fighting against the eight demon kings and their Yin soldiers. The sounds of explosions and the shockwaves of the battle were deafening.

However, only the Lava God General truly fought with all his might.

Moments later, the reinforcements from the Tianyun Sword Sect arrived, and instantly tens of thousands of cultivators rushed into the Yin army.

On the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat, Xuanzhen's eyes flashed with a hidden glint. The Divine General Chessboard appeared in front of him, and with a wave of his sleeve, more than a dozen divine generals dressed in golden armor appeared.

"kill!"

Behind him, hundreds of Golden Body Realm warriors held bows and arrows, nocking and shooting them, which whistled into the dark, malevolent clouds.

Bows and arrows have always been the main weapons of the Jade Capital Guards. From the initial spirit-grade bows and arrows to the present day, the Jade Capital Guards are now equipped with divine-grade bows and arrows.

The so-called divine weapon refers to the weapon used by a Golden Body Realm martial artist. Previously, Golden Body Realm martial artists in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty were called Martial Gods, so weapons suitable for Golden Body Realm martial artists were also called divine weapons.

However, in the Spirit Origin Land now, divine weapons are called second-tier spiritual weapons, and above that are third-tier spiritual weapons, which are weapons used by martial artists.

Spiritual weapons are completely different from magic tools and magical treasures. Because Golden Body Realm martial artists have almost no magic power, they cannot drive magic tools and magical treasures. Therefore, the main function of spiritual weapons is to increase the output of true essence, but they cannot cast spells.

However, third-tier spiritual weapons are somewhat similar to magic treasures, because martial artists in the Divine Soul Realm have begun to convert their true essence into magic power, so third-tier spiritual weapons possess some of the power of magic treasures.

The ability to transform true essence into a rainbow is actually a kind of magic.

Second-tier spiritual weapons have limited effectiveness against Yin soldiers; to be precise, even Golden Body Realm warriors seem somewhat powerless against the elite Yin soldiers of the Impermanent Ghost Sect.

The arrows flew, but could only cause minor injuries to the Yin soldiers. Moreover, with the replenishment of Yin energy, the Yin soldiers' injuries quickly healed.

This may seem like it doesn't work, but it actually does.

Although the newly formed Jade Capital Guard is mainly composed of Golden Body Realm warriors, its primary attack method is the attack formation on the flying boat.

Golden Body Realm warriors are only responsible for harassing and blocking the enemy; the real attacks come from the flying boat.

As the third wave of arrows was fired, the Vermilion Bird on the bow of the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat suddenly spewed out crimson flames. The flames rose and turned into a rain of fire, falling into the dark, malevolent clouds.

In an instant, dozens of ghostly soldiers were engulfed in flames and burst into flames.

The ghost soldiers seemed to have realized the power of the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats and launched a frenzied attack on the four Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats.

Four Vermilion Bird Cloud Boats and twenty-four Blazing Sun Golden Boats formed a circular formation. The crimson flames and golden suns released their scorching heat, blocking the rolling Yin Sha clouds a hundred feet away. Thousands of arrows flew, turning the Yin soldiers into hedgehogs.

With the added resistance of numerous cultivators, no matter how the surrounding Yin soldiers attacked, they could not get within a hundred feet of the flying boat.

In an instant, the flying boats of the Spirit Source Land seemed to form a great array, firmly fixed in mid-air, and wantonly annihilating the charging Yin soldiers.

This is the correct way for the airship fleet to fight.

Using the Vermilion Bird Flying Boat as the array plate and the Blazing Sun Golden Boat as the array flag, a massive attack array can be established anytime, anywhere, supplemented by thousands of Golden Body Realm warriors who defend the array.

While this fighting method cannot overwhelm the army of ghost soldiers, it can hold back a large number of them.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Tianyun Sword Sect, the battlefield surrounding Zhenyang Immortal City became increasingly fierce.

The flying ship fleet was firmly stationed to the west of Zhenyang Immortal City, relieving a considerable amount of pressure on the city.

Thousands of cultivators rushed into the battlefield and fought fiercely with the Yin army.

Within the rolling, dark clouds, countless magical lights burst forth, and sharp sword intent crisscrossed.

However, the most eye-catching of them all is not the flying boat fleet of the Spirit Origin Land, but the Heavenly River Sword Formation of Hidden Sword Mountain.

It was just a few dozen sword cultivators forming the Heavenly River Sword Formation, which resembled a celestial river falling, stirring up a long river of sword energy.

The moment he made his move, a river of sword energy stretched across a hundred miles, piercing a hole in the originally overwhelming dark clouds of Yin energy. Thousands of Yin soldiers were shattered and scattered into pieces of gray flesh and blood.

This attack drew the attention of all the Golden Core cultivators.

Yang Zhengshan was still entangled with the Violent Bear Demon King, but that didn't stop him from paying attention to the Heavenly River Sword Formation.

As expected of Hidden Sword Mountain, they keep revealing one trump card after another. I wonder how many more treasures Hidden Sword Mountain has hidden.

However, this is not a good thing for the cultivators of Hidden Sword Mountain, as standing out too much on the battlefield can easily attract attacks from powerful individuals.

Just as the river of sword energy receded, a gleaming blade of light swept towards the cultivators of Hidden Sword Mountain.

The two elderly sword cultivators' eyes flashed with brilliant sword light, and their sword incantations swirled, sending a long river of sword energy rushing towards the blade.

When the mighty river of sword energy collided with the blade, it was forced back by the blade as if it were destroying everything in its path.

In an instant, the two elderly sword cultivators' faces flushed red, and their magical power surged. The other Hidden Sword Mountain cultivators also mobilized all their magical power, releasing sharp sword energy without regard for the consequences.

Finally, they blocked the blade.

The blade disappeared more than ten feet in front of them.

But a figure dressed in pure white appeared before them.

"You can be proud that you could withstand one of my strikes!" Leng Xuan said proudly, standing proudly in front of the group of Hidden Sword Mountain cultivators.

The two elderly sword cultivators stared at him, their deeply lined faces appearing exceptionally pale.

Even with the support of a sword formation, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would still find it difficult to contend with a Golden Core cultivator.

They had just given it their all, while the other side might have just struck with a casual slash.

"Since that's the case, then take another strike from me!" Leng Xuan waved his hand, and the bone knives around him once again emitted a pale white blade light.

"Humph!"

Just then, a cold snort rang out, and the Heaven-Supporting Sword Qi suddenly erupted, smashing down on Leng Xuan like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

Sword energy covered the heavens and the earth, while blades pierced the sky, colliding with a deafening roar. With a thunderous boom, countless blade energies transformed into a whirlwind that swept across the surrounding area for more than ten miles.

It was Jian Changhe who made the move. Since Leng Xuan had attacked the cultivators of Cangjian Mountain, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

However, this sword strike also put him in a dangerous situation. He was already entangled in a battle with a demon lord's Yin soldiers, and now he had suddenly joined the fight with Leng Xuan. The originally easy battle immediately became serious.

Yang Zhengshan, who was in the distance, also noticed this scene, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Mizuya ran away!

Originally, it was Shui Ling and Leng Xuan who were supposed to fight, but now Shui Ling has disappeared.

The True Yang Immortal City's True Yang Formation hasn't been breached yet, but Shui Ling has already run away!

If it were just Shui Ling who ran away, that would be one thing, but why hasn't Wan Hua Demon Court's support arrived yet?

"How long has it been! The reinforcements from the Wanhua Demon Court should have arrived long ago!"

While fighting the Violent Bear Demon King opposite him, Yang Zhengshan observed his surroundings.

The battle continued. After the arrival of the Tianyun Sword Sect's army, the situation in Zhenyang Immortal City was alleviated. The Yin Army suffered heavy casualties under the combined attack from inside and outside the city.

The tide of battle seems to be turning in their favor.

However, there are still four Golden Core cultivators from the Impermanent Ghost Sect over there. Once these four Golden Core cultivators join the battle, they will have no chance against them.

The more Yang Zhengshan thought about it, the more his heart sank to the bottom.

Did the Wanhua Demon Court abandon the Zhenyang Immortal City?
No, they didn't abandon Zhenyang Immortal City, but rather Tianyun Sword Sect.

They may very well be using the Tianyun Sword Sect as cannon fodder!
……

Yang Zhengshan was right; the Wanhua Demon Court had indeed used them as cannon fodder.

Everyone thought that Wanhua Demon Court would not give up Zhenyang Immortal City, but in fact, Wanhua Demon Court gave up Zhenyang Immortal City from the very beginning.

When An Wusheng led his army of Yin soldiers to attack Zhenyang Immortal City, a massive battle also broke out near the Seven Mountains of Nanhua.

The Seven Mountains of Nanhua are the headquarters of the Nanhua Sect. Since the war between the Wanhua Demon Court and the Wuchang Ghost Sect, the Seven Mountains of Nanhua have become the battlefield between the two sides.

The Soul Refining Hall of the Impermanent Ghost Sect used the Seven Mountains of Nanhua as a barrier to build a defensive line to resist the attack of the Myriad Flower Demon Court.

The two sides fought here for several years without a clear victor.

To this day, the Qingyuan Fox Clan, leading tens of thousands of demon troops, joined forces with the Chihuang Clan's demon army, and the two clans launched a simultaneous attack on the Seven Mountains of Nanhua.

Amidst the undulating mountains, countless demons and tens of thousands of Yin soldiers and blood puppets clashed.

The battlefield spanned hundreds of miles, and terrifying auras surged like hurricanes, wave after wave, nearly uprooting the surrounding mountains.

Meanwhile, in the void, numerous demon kings clashed with a group of Golden Core cultivators from the Impermanent Ghost Sect.

The burst of energy and the resulting collisions created waves in the void.

This is only happening in the void. If this were in the real world, this battle would definitely cause the heavens and the earth to collapse.

In this situation, the Wanhua Demon Court held an absolute advantage. The Soul Refining Hall of the Wuchang Ghost Sect was no weaker than the Soul Control Hall, but relying solely on the power of the Soul Refining Hall was insufficient to deal with the two major demon clans of the Wanhua Demon Court.

……

Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountains, within a large array of clouds and mist.

Lin Qihe and the Green Ox Demon King appeared above the blood pool, and the two of them began to destroy the blood pool almost without hesitation.

Upon arriving at Zhenyang Immortal City, Yang Zhengshan immediately noticing An Wusheng and his group and sent a message to Lin Qihe, instructing them to begin their operation.

The Cloud Mist Array is the main base of the Soul Control Hall in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountains. At this time, when they launched a full-scale attack on Zhenyang Immortal City, the Cloud Mist Array was at its weakest, which was also the best time for Lin Qihe and the Green Ox Demon King to attack the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Pool.

There were still some Yin soldiers and blood puppets inside the cloud and mist formation, but these Yin soldiers and blood puppets were no match for Lin Qihe and the Green Ox Demon King's attacks.

In a short while, the Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood was overturned, the giant white bone pillar was destroyed, the Jade of Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood was held in Lin Qihe's hand, and even the underground Yin veins were severed by the two of them together.

It is no longer possible for the Impermanent Ghost Sect to rebuild the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts in this place, unless they are willing to spend a lot of time and resources to reopen the underground Yin Veins.

The clouds and mist dispersed, leaving the ground in a mess.

Lin Qihe, suspended in mid-air, exhaled a refreshing breath.

"That's about enough. We've severed all the underground Yin veins. Shouldn't we retreat?" The Green Ox Demon King flew over and asked.

Lin Qihe released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. "No rush, let's go destroy those giant white bone pillars!"

Given such a rare opportunity, he naturally wanted to maximize his gains.

They severed the underground Yin veins, destroyed the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and shattered the Giant Pillar of White Bones, turning the Soul Control Hall of the Impermanent Ghost Sect, built over the past ten years, into complete ruins.

As long as An Wusheng and the others haven't returned, he wouldn't mind destroying everything the Soul Control Hall has in the Wanhua Mountains.

After a brief discussion, the two headed towards the surrounding giant pillars of white bones.

……

On the battlefield of the Seven Mountains of Nanhua, the Wanhua Demon Court held an absolute advantage. After this battle, the Wuchang Ghost Sect's plans in the Wanhua Mountains will be severely damaged.

The Cloud Mist Formation destroyed the Soul Control Hall's main base, which was then destroyed by Lin Qihe and the Green Ox Demon King. If the Soul Control Hall wants to rebuild its main base in the future, it will need to spend a lot of time and resources.

Everything was developing in a direction unfavorable to the Impermanent Ghost Sect, but in True Yang Immortal City, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect was in dire crisis.

Above the clouds, An Wusheng's brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, he also sensed that something was wrong.

The reinforcements from Wanhua Demon Court arrived too late.

The reinforcements from the Tianyun Sword Sect have been there for half an hour, but the reinforcements from the Wanhua Demon Court have not yet appeared.

"Palace Master, something's not right!" Ji Wusi said softly.

An Wusheng's heart tightened. "Something's not right?"

“Logically speaking, the Qingyuan Fox Clan’s reinforcements should have arrived long ago, unless they are unwilling to fight a decisive battle with us!” Ji Wusi said.

At this point, Yu Yuan stopped confronting Ji Wusi. They weren't fools; they all sensed that something was wrong.

"That's right, Lord Temple Master, are they afraid?"

“Fear? Impossible! Why would they be afraid at this time?” An Wusheng said in a deep voice.

The two major powers have already started a war; to say that it's a joke would be too simplistic.

Just then, An Wusheng suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

"Blood Pool!"

His face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Yu Yuan was taken aback. "They went to attack the Blood Pool?"

Ji Wusi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that they attacked the Blood Pool to force us to withdraw our troops?"

At this point, they were clearly mistaken, believing the attack on the Blood Pool was a diversionary tactic by the Qingyuan Fox Clan. They had no idea that someone else was behind the attack, let alone that the Qingyuan Fox Clan had gone directly to the southern part of the Wanhua Mountains.
