Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 218 Stealing a Home
The plump, dark-skinned woman warily looked around.

His intense sense of danger made him somewhat anxious, and he immediately tried to change his hand gestures, falling from the air towards Chun Guicheng below.

But at that very moment, Shen Chongming, who was in the inn in the distance, made his move!
The moment the fingers were released, the dark red arrow vanished instantly!
The silent magic artifact masked all the sounds of the arrows. By the time the plump woman reacted, a dark red arrow with a bright blue light at its tip had already appeared about ten feet behind her!

The plump, dark-skinned woman turned around abruptly, her expression one of utter horror!
With her late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, she could clearly sense that the incoming arrow carried an extremely terrifying aura.

Especially the azure light at the tip of the arrow, although it looks only the size of a sesame seed, contains a terrifying energy!
hum!
At such close range, there was no time to dodge, so she instinctively raised her demonic energy shield!
Just as the demonic energy shield was erected, the dark red arrow struck it!

The azure gem at the tip of the arrow suddenly unleashed countless bolts of lightning the moment it touched the demonic energy shield, like a giant, menacing octopus!
The moment it waved its tentacles, the thick demonic energy shield covering the fat, dark-skinned woman's body was instantly annihilated!
Then, in the blink of an eye, the dark red arrow rapidly magnified in his eyes!
The plump, dark-skinned woman only felt a brief tearing pain between her eyebrows before her consciousness completely sank into darkness and nothingness.

In the void, a dark red arrow pierced through the head of the plump, dark-skinned woman, turning into a streak of light and vanishing instantly.

The arrow returned to Shen Chongming's hand in the next moment.

All of this happened too fast. It wasn't until the body of the fat, dark-skinned woman in the void manifested its true form, transforming into a gigantic black spider that fell from the sky and crushed the houses in the city below, that the other Nascent Soul Realm demons around them reacted!

"No, someone attacked!"

"Outside the city!"

"He must be a cultivator among the two-legged sheep!"

The remaining ten Nascent Soul Realm demonic beasts instantly erected their demonic energy shields, their expressions changing drastically as they shouted.

But what greeted them were three arrows crackling with azure lightning!

Shen Chongming used the mid-grade magic weapon arrow because he was afraid that dealing with a spider demon in the late stage of the embryonic breathing stage was not safe.

Now that the spider demon is dead, and none of the remaining powerful demons are at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it's not worth using magic weapons and arrows anymore.

The Silent Guest drew back his great bow, and three ordinary arrows, imbued with the power of the "Purple Thunder Breaking Limit" secret technique, shot out, flying straight towards the three mid-stage Nascent Soul demon beasts in the air.

The "Purple Thunder Breaking Limit" secret technique is specifically designed to target cultivators' spiritual energy shields, as well as various defensive magical artifacts and robes, and is particularly adept at breaking through defenses from a single point.

Above Chun Gui City, the three-headed demon in the mid-stage of the embryonic breathing stage realized that it had become a target, and the arrow had already reached the demon energy shield.

This is different from the situation with the spider demon just now.

The demonic energy shields protecting the three demons were instantly pierced by an arrow-shaped bolt of lightning!
As the arrow-shaped lightning bolt pierced through the demonic energy shield, it also pierced through their skulls, instantly tearing their souls and sea of ​​consciousness apart!
Ordinary arrows simply cannot withstand the power of "Purple Lightning Breaking Limit," so the three arrows were completely energized the moment they flew out.

Now that the three demons have been killed, the arrow has vanished into thin air.

Within a few breaths, four powerful demons at the Nascent Soul stage were killed in succession, and the remaining demon cultivators from Mount Wu panicked instantly.

One by one, they fell into Chun Gui City, either blending in with the lesser demons at the Qi Refining Realm or hiding in some buildings within the city.

Shen Chongming instantly lost his target.

After a slight frown, he decisively ordered Mu Chang and Shen You to lead the cultivators who were lying in ambush in the distance to take action!

More than four hundred cultivators from the Shen family attacked en masse, slowly advancing from the south gate of Chun Gui City.

Meanwhile, Shen Chongming had already arrived at the city tower of the south gate, looking down at the battle below.

His idea is simple.

Since the remaining seven Nascent Soul Realm demons wanted to hide, then I would force them out!
Although the cultivation levels of many cultivators in the Shen family were not very high, with most of them around the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, they were quite adept at dealing with low-level demonic beasts like those in the Great Wu Mountain because they possessed talismans and magical artifacts and knew how to cooperate.

Amidst the screams and roars, one monster after another was slain.

Those powerful demons at the Nascent Soul stage, hidden among the many lesser demons, finally couldn't resist any longer.

One of the wolf demons suddenly leaped up, its body swelling to over two zhang in size. With a swipe of its terrifying claws, it instantly sent several Shen family cultivators flying.

Screams echoed as the Shen family cultivators were slammed into distant buildings, coughing up blood.
Roar!
Just as the wolf demon in the Fetal Breathing Realm had succeeded in its attack and was about to pounce on the other cultivators, an arrow pierced through its body in an instant!
A deep blue electric shock emanated from the location of the arrow and instantly spread throughout his entire body.

The wolf demon's soul was annihilated, and its enormous body collapsed powerlessly.

The Shen family cultivators around them worked together seamlessly. Some went to rescue the wounded, some stood guard around the area, and others ran to the wolf demon's corpse to check if it was alive or dead.

Amidst the chaotic battle, Shen You's performance was exceptionally outstanding!
The magical weapon in his hand was a long-handled broadsword, which at a glance was clearly a heavy weapon.

Her petite figure paired with such a weapon gives people a very strange feeling.

However, Shen You didn't care about any of this. She wielded her long-handled broadsword with great force. Those low-level demons often didn't even know how to use their demon energy shields. They relied on their scales and fur to defend against attacks, occasionally using their beastly instincts combined with some demonic arts to fight their enemies.

At this moment, the large knife in Shen You's hand proved extremely effective.

With each move, those lesser demons who didn't even have a demonic energy shield were directly beheaded and cleaved into several pieces!

As for those lesser demons who knew how to use demonic energy shields, although they could barely withstand the attacks, their fragile demonic energy shields couldn't withstand more than a few strikes.

Often, after exchanging a few blows, their protective shield would be shattered, and they would die.

Despite her seemingly reckless charge, Shen You was able to move freely among the many demonic beasts as if they were nothing, thanks to the constant protection of Mu Chang, who was at the peak of the Qi Refining realm.

At the top of the city tower, Shen Chongming's attention was also partly on his younger sister.

He wanted to make sure he could shoot down any of those Nascent Soul Realm demonic beasts that dared to show themselves in the shadows!

"Miss, please don't go any further."

A large amount of earth-attribute spiritual power surged from Mu Chang's hands, and he slapped the ground beneath his feet!
Sharp spikes instantly emerged from the ground several feet around him, piercing right through the low-level demons around him!
One by one, they wailed and screamed in agony, struggling violently but not dying immediately.

The two were so engrossed in their battle that they unknowingly created a considerable distance between themselves and the many cultivators behind them.

Just as Mu Chang was about to use his magic again to completely kill the monsters pierced by the earth spikes, he suddenly noticed a gray-furred mountain hyena not far ahead, taking advantage of the many fleeing little monsters to sneak up behind Shen You.

"Miss……"

Whoosh!
"puff!"

Before he could even utter his warning, an arrow flew swiftly and pierced through the gray-haired mountain hyena in an instant!
After its soul was annihilated, the mountain hyena reverted to its original form.

It was a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast disguised as an ordinary mountain hyena.

Another Nascent Soul Realm demon beast was shot down. Shen Chongming glanced at the routed demon soldiers in the city and decided not to continue searching for the remaining Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts. He immediately took out a specially made whistling arrow and shot it into the air.

A sharp sound rang out, and the many Shen family cultivators who were chasing below immediately stopped in their tracks.

Each person had a clear division of labor: some carried the wounded, while others collected the corpses of the monsters along the way.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had hurriedly evacuated Chun Gui City.

"Take these monster corpses to the hiding place in Xiangshan. Once there, activate the array plate that conceals your aura and wait for my message."

"No one is allowed to go out without permission!"

In the grove outside the city, Shen Chongming glanced at the crowd in front of him and spoke.

The two clasped hands in greeting, and Shen Li looked at him and said, "Brother, be careful."

This time, the Great Wushan Mountain attacked, and there were many powerful demons in the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm or even the perfect stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm. Shen Chongming's cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm.

While a sneak attack can kill a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would still be very dangerous if one were ambushed or faced head-on with a powerful demon of the late-stage Nascent Soul stage or above.

"Don't worry, your brother's principle is that if you can launch a sneak attack, you'll make sure they don't even see a shadow of you."

"Go and take good care of your wounded people."

After giving him another instruction, he slapped an invisibility talisman on his body and flew away into the distance.

……

In Chun Gui City, eleven Nascent Soul Realm demons and over a thousand Qi Refining Realm demons were utterly routed.

In just half an hour, this army of demon soldiers from Mount Wushan lost six Nascent Soul Realm demons and more than four hundred Qi Refining Realm demons.

"Quickly report to the Mountain Lord!"

The few demon cultivators who had narrowly escaped death gathered together, looking at the disheveled lesser demons around them with grim expressions.

They suffered heavy losses in this ambush, and they will certainly face punishment upon their return.

They can only hope that Lord Baishan can arrive as soon as possible, capture the cultivators of the Shen family, and force them to reveal where the two-legged sheep of Chun Gui City have hidden.

This allows them to atone for their sins and avoid punishment.

Meanwhile, in the sky above Yunshui City.

Lan Jue, along with two powerful demons at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm and hundreds of lesser demons at the Qi Refining realm, quietly guarded the outskirts of Yunshui City, preparing to intercept other Shen family experts who appeared from Yunshui City and prevent them from supporting other cities under their jurisdiction.

He never intended to fight the Shen family, nor did he plan to attack Yunshui City, where the Shen family was located.

Their ultimate goal was to plunder the cities under the Shen family's control.

"Brother Lan, the Shen family is truly patient."

"Could they be abandoning the common people under their rule?"

Beside Lan Jue, an old man with a thin face and a snow-white beard chuckled and spoke.

Lan Jue stared intently at Yunshui City below, which was shrouded in the Renshui Spirit Concealment Formation, his brows furrowed slightly.

The harvest had been underway for several days, yet Yunshui City showed no reaction, which made him feel that something was amiss.

It should be noted that when the Southern Frontier first invaded, both the Shen family and Luoxia Mountain cared a great deal about the people under their rule. No matter how the major powers threatened or tempted them, the two families never intended to let them set foot in the cities under their rule.

Now that Lord Baishan and his forces have launched an attack on Chungui and Hejian, is the Shen family so confident that the two cities can withstand the attack?
"Someone is coming."

After some thought, Lan Jue spoke calmly.

A half-transformed demon with an eagle's head and a human body quickly came to his side.

"Commander."

Lan Jue said in a deep voice, "Go to Chun Gui and He Jian cities and see how Lord Baishan and the others are doing."

Upon hearing this, the little demon with the eagle's head and human body immediately cupped its hands, turned around, and transformed into a giant eagle, flying away into the distance.

"Brother Lan, are you worried that Lord Baishan and the Snow Wolf King might fail?"

But as the eagle disappeared into the horizon, another burly man beside Lan Jue, whose body and face were covered with thick hair, spoke up in confusion.

Lan Jue did not give a direct answer, only saying that she was a little worried and that it would be safest to send someone to check.

The three demons waited quietly for nearly two hours when the eagle let out a cry and suddenly swooped down from the sky to report urgently.

"Three commanders, something terrible has happened!"

"Both Commanders, Lord Baishan and the Snow Wolf King, suffered heavy losses in a sneak attack by Shen family cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Lan Jue's expression changed slightly, and after a brief moment of thought, he said:

"What about blood offerings?"

"How much blood offering did those two receive?"

The little eagle demon stammered for a moment and said, "The two commanders said... said they searched the two cities of Chun Gui and He Jian, but they didn't find a single two-legged sheep."

"Lord Baishan even led a group to Xingyang City, which was also an empty city..."

"It seems...it seems that all the two-legged sheep under the Shen family's rule can fly and disappear into the earth."

They flew and disappeared into the earth?
Lan Jue narrowed his eyes, exuding a chilling aura.

As his gaze fell upon the Cloud Water City before him, he murmured coldly, "I understand..."

"That damned Shen family is truly cunning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black ape beside him asked in confusion, "Brother Lan, do you know what's going on?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these two-legged sheep under the Shen family's rule don't fly or disappear into the sky," the old goat continued, "but were all moved to Yunshui City by the Shen family in advance."

The black ape was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

"If we move nearly ten million sheep from four cities together, isn't the Shen family afraid of being wiped out in one fell swoop?"

"Or are they planning to break the rules and have the Golden Core cultivators in the city take action?"

Lan Jue sneered, "They dare?"

"Although our six families are not of one mind, if the Shen family dares to openly break the agreement, our grandmother and the others will not stand idly by."

After a moment of contemplation, a resolute glint flashed in Lan Jue's eyes as he waved his hand and said, "Go and have Lord Baishan and the Snow Wolf King bring all the young men to Yunshui City."

"Today I will see just how tough this city's broken shell really is."

"Furthermore, send someone to inform the young lady that if the Shen family's Golden Core cultivators dare to make a move, they will be taught a lesson!"

The demons beside him received orders and each stirred up their own demonic winds, flying towards the Southern Frontier and Chun Gui City respectively.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the entrance of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation, the figure of the Heavenly Fox Demon King slowly appeared.

However, she did not go directly to Yunshui City. Instead, she stayed on a mountain peak near the Great Array's canopy, releasing her aura to let the Shen family's "Golden Core Ancestor" know that she was watching them.

If they dare to disregard the agreement and make a move, they will surely join forces with the King of Fushan and other Golden Core cultivators to wipe out the entire Yunshui City from Yangnao Land.

Sensing the aura of the Heavenly Fox Demon King, Lan Jue and his commanders instantly gained confidence and immediately prepared to attack the Renshui Hidden Spirit Formation.

Just then, a figure suddenly stepped out from Yunshui City.

The figure, dressed in a green robe and holding a long sword, stepped out of the city and into the void, waving his hand to open the great formation.

"A sword cultivator at the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm..."

Lan Jue frowned slightly as he looked at Shen Wen'an who had appeared before him.

He couldn't quite understand what the Shen family's purpose was in doing this.

Why send a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator alone outside the formation to face himself and four Nascent Soul Perfection realm demons?
To die?
After Shen Wen'an exited the formation, he glanced at the group with a nonchalant expression, then looked towards the direction of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation.

"Tell that senior from Mount Dawu that the Shen family patriarch has no intention of breaking the agreement and taking action."

"If you wish to enter Yunshui City, you must first pass through my gate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly drew the Dragon Slayer Sword.

"You're just a mere late-stage fetal breathing practitioner, what right do you have to be so arrogant?"

"I'll devour you first today!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Shanjun, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, suddenly snorted coldly, took a step forward, and was about to make a move.

"Mountain Lord, be careful! This human cultivator is a swordsman!"

Lan Jue immediately spoke up to remind him.

"So what if he's a sword cultivator? Once I've killed him, we'll break this formation and reap the rewards."

Being tricked in Chun Gui City, not seeing a single person but instead being ambushed and suffering heavy losses, had already filled him with uncontrollable rage.

As Shen Wen'an sized up Bai Shanjun's desire to fight him alone, a hint of joy flashed through his mind.

He could tell that among the demons of Mount Wu, five demon cultivators possessed auras exceeding the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm, reaching the perfect state, while Lan Jue's cultivation had even reached the half-step Golden Core realm.

If the five demons join forces right away, it's uncertain whether I can withstand them.

But now this tiger demon is so arrogant that it wants to fight me one-on-one, so I can take advantage of its unpreparedness and kill it with lightning speed.

In this way, if the opponent only has four left, the pressure on me will be much less.

Thinking of this, his mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly spoke:

"Only you?"

"Should we call two more helpers?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Baishan was indeed furious.

Even if someone is a sword cultivator at the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm, so what?
How dare they utter such arrogant words!
"Cut the nonsense!"

"Death!"

With a cold shout, Bai Shanjun waved his hand and unleashed a bright white beam of light!

As the mysterious light slashed towards Shen Wen'an, a flash of light appeared in Bai Shanjun's hand, and a pitch-black broadsword exuding a fierce aura appeared!

He slowly raised his broadsword, his demonic energy surging, and slashed diagonally down at Shen Wen'an's other side!

The surrounding sky was filled with swirling clouds, and the terrifying blade light surged to a thousand feet, directly sealing off all of Shen Wen'an's escape routes in conjunction with the previous mysterious light.

Two attacks came in quick succession.

Shen Wen'an slowly flicked the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, and the Tide Sword Technique was immediately activated.

A clear sound of waves echoed in the void, and tidal waves appeared out of thin air, surging and crashing towards the two attacks launched by Lord Baishan!
Since learning the Tide Sword Technique from Chu Yuanfeng, a disciple of the Qingluo Sword Pavilion, Shen Wen'an has been diligently studying it all these years.

He genuinely loved the Tide Sword Technique, which was both offensive and defensive. The technique also incorporated the characteristics of the tide, allowing it to continuously gather momentum and unleash considerable power.

Unless the opponent's attack is powerful enough to instantly destroy all the tidal waves, it will be submerged and neutralized by the ever-increasing waves that follow.

Both of Bai Shanjun's attacks were launched with all his might, intending to severely injure or kill Shen Wen'an.

However, both the mysterious light and the later blade light were constantly being battered by the waves of water in the void, their power growing weaker and weaker.

Within a few breaths, after the two attacks were shattered one after another, the water waves formed by the Tide Sword Technique also slowly dissipated.

"What a bizarre defensive tactic..."

"Bai Shan Jun's Geng Jin Xuan Guang is known for its indestructible sharpness, and even the spiritual energy shields of cultivators of the same realm have difficulty resisting it. However, it has not been able to break through that sword cultivator's sword technique."

"No need to worry, this move must have taken a lot of energy out of that sword cultivator. Look, his aura has weakened a bit."

"Indeed, after all, it is the late stage of fetal breathing. Although it is only one minor realm away, we who are at the perfect realm have already begun to come into contact with the Golden Core Dao, which is not comparable to an ordinary minor realm."

Seeing that Bai Shanjun's attack had been neutralized, Lan Jue and the other powerful demons were not too worried. Instead, they had the leisure to discuss and criticize.

On Bai Shanjun's side, seeing that his proud Gengjin Xuan Guang had no effect, he was even more annoyed.

He immediately slapped the blade of the large sword in his hand.

The broadsword instantly transformed into flowing water, swiftly merging into his hands.

Then, his palms flashed with light and transformed into two huge tiger claws. Slowly, his entire body, filled with demonic energy, transformed into a giant tiger with black and white fur!

Demon cultivators are at their strongest when they transform into their true form; they maintain human form only for the convenience of cultivation and movement.

Bai Shanjun had already revealed his true form and had no intention of wasting any more time with Shen Wen'an. He leaped forward and charged at him.

"coming!"

Seeing this, Shen Wen'an was secretly delighted.

The reason he deliberately showed weakness was because Bai Shanjun was too close to Lan Jue and the others.

If we go all out and fail to kill him instantly, Lan Jue and the others will surely be able to come to his aid in time.

That would only expose your true intentions.

Now that Lord Baishan has transformed into his true form and charged forward, there's no need for me to hold back anymore.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword unleashed several sword beams in an instant, briefly slowing down Bai Shanjun's pounce. A golden light then appeared in his dantian!
The moment the golden light appeared, it shot out and flew swiftly towards the giant tiger that was pouncing on it.

While in mid-air, Bai Shanjun instinctively raised his tiger claws to strike the golden light mixed in with the sword light!
Clang!
Clang!
The dull metallic clanging continued incessantly, and the two sides exchanged dozens of moves in the blink of an eye!

The jet-black broadsword that Bai Shanjun previously wielded seemed to be formed from the claws of his true form. Now that he has revealed his true form, his two enormous protective shields are incredibly sturdy, able to withstand the slashes of the Dragon Soul Sword. However, the Dragon Soul Sword is, after all, a flying sword, and its speed is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can easily withstand.

In the brief exchange of dozens of moves, although Bai Shanjun managed to block most of the attacks from the Dragon Soul Sword with his sharp claws, his fur was still scratched by the flying swords, leaving several shallow wounds.

This move undoubtedly angered him once again.

"Roar!"

With a loud shout, Bai Shanjun's body emitted a large amount of whitish metallic demonic energy, which blocked the attack of the Dragon Soul Sword. At the same time, his huge body successfully approached Shen Wen'an, preparing to rely on his physical advantage to fight Shen Wen'an.

Seeing this, Shen Wen'an knew that his opportunity had arrived.

He manipulated the Dragon Soul Sword and unleashed the [Tai Xuan Dividing Light Sword], where countless tiny golden swords suddenly surrounded Bai Shanjun!
Two hundred and fifty-six Dragon Soul Swords continuously struck the protective shield on Bai Shanjun's body, emitting a large amount of golden light.

During this brief moment, a milky-white light flashed between Shen Wen'an's brows.

The next moment, a beam of white light suddenly flew out, directly piercing through Bai Shanjun's demonic energy shield and stabbing into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Within Bai Shanjun's sea of ​​consciousness, a miniature white tiger radiating a rich aura was instantly cleaved in two by the Sword Bone Technique Sword and slowly dissipated.

Outside, the great demons, including Lan Jue, only saw Bai Shanjun, who was rushing towards them, suddenly freeze.

Immediately afterwards, the demonic energy shield on his body mysteriously disappeared!

The more than two hundred golden magic swords surrounding his body instantly pierced through his body and head!
Lan Jue and the other great demons were all stunned to see Bai Shanjun's soul aura and life force rapidly extinguished.

Shen Wen'an then gently waved his hand.

This created an opening in the Renshui Yinling Formation below.

In the void, Bai Shanjun's enormous corpse fell into Yunshui City through the gap.

The Snow Wolf King beside Lan Jue reacted quickly, transforming into a streak of light, and originally intended to snatch back Bai Shanjun's corpse.

However, Shen Wen'an was already prepared. A sword beam forced the Snow Wolf King to reveal itself, and the golden Dragon Soul Magic Sword instantly closed in!

The Snow Wolf King's eyes widened in horror, and he staggered backward.

Bai Shan Jun's death was too suspicious. Although the other demons were not far away, their battle stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy, and Bai Shan Jun's huge body blocked their view.

As a result, they did not see how Shen Wen'an killed Bai Shan Jun.

It was as if Bai Shan Jun had charged forward and then suddenly withdrew his demonic energy shield, allowing the dense array of golden flying swords to end his life.

Clearly, Baishan-jun did not commit suicide.

The Snow Wolf King thought that the golden flying sword had some unknown and strange ability, and dared not take it head-on.

After killing Bai Shanjun, Shen Wen'an stood proudly in the void, his gaze sweeping over Lan Jue and the others.

"Is there any other fellow Daoist who would like to offer their guidance?"

Meeting his gaze, the demons exchanged glances, all seeing the solemnity on each other's faces.

Among the leaders of Mount Wu, Lord Baishan is considered to be one of the stronger ones.

But he died mysteriously in just a few dozen breaths.

The remaining demons naturally dared not step forward easily.

At the location of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation, on the mountain peak.

The Heavenly Fox Demon King gazed intently in the direction of Cloud Water City.

With his Golden Core realm cultivation, he was naturally able to easily discern all the details of the battle just now.

"That white light resembled a magic sword..."

"It is truly bizarre that it was able to silently ignore the demonic energy shield and directly kill Bai Shanjun's soul."

"Our Great Wushan has truly met its match this time..."

After muttering a few words, the Heavenly Fox Demon King condensed his voice into a line and transmitted the command to Lan Jue.

As Lan Jue was contemplating whether to continue the attack in front of Yunshui City, the voice of the Heavenly Fox Demon King suddenly rang in his ears.

He immediately held his breath and listened carefully.

A moment later, he respectfully bowed towards the direction of the Void Harmony Corridor Formation, then turned to look at Shen Wen'an.

"My lady has given the order: attack together!"

Upon hearing this, the black ape and the great demon snow wolf king beside him immediately mobilized their demonic energy to prepare for an attack.

But at that very moment, they simultaneously heard Lan Jue's voice.

"Don't go all out. Focus on survival, but make a big show of force."

The demons were puzzled, but they secretly made a mental note of it.

Thus, a great battle broke out above Yunshui City.

Shen Wen'an had expected this to be a tough battle, and was even prepared to go all in.

But as the battle progressed, they discovered that the powerful demons on the other side were all timid and hesitant in their movements, unable to fight freely.

Once their own Dragon Soul Swords attacked, the creatures collectively retreated, cautiously on guard.

"What are you doing?"

"Acting?"

Shen Wen'an was puzzled, but dared not be careless in the slightest.

After several days of fierce fighting, his sword energy was exhausted. He then hid inside the Renshui Concealing Spirit Formation, using the formation to defend against the attacks of the others.

The demons of Lan Jue will also take this opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on the great formation.

This forced Shen Yuan in the city to have a large amount of spirit crystals used on the great formation to replenish its energy.

Shen Wen'an knew that his family's resources were not enough to sustain such a fuss, so he could only recover some of his sword energy before going into battle to meet the enemy.

As soon as he appeared, the demons cautiously engaged him in battle.

With the month-long deadline for the big harvest fast fast fast fast approaching, the two sides are stuck in this stalemate.

at the same time.

In the magnificent courtyard in the Western Wilderness Grassland, Shen Chongming led a group of Shen family cultivators into the fray.

Thousands of Shen family cultivators, who had just survived a fierce battle, were now making the most of their time to clean up the battlefield.

"Brother, we found it!"

Amidst the busy crowd, Shen You suddenly shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming immediately appeared in front of her. Looking at the hidden stone door in front of him, he sensed the rich spiritual energy behind the door and a smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone, step back a little."

He slowly clenched his fist, and streaks of electricity gathered on it.

boom!
The stone gate in front of him was smashed to pieces by his fist.

After the smoke and dust cleared, what came into view was a large amount of spirit crystals, spirit ores, and various spirit herbs and medicines.

"many!"

Shen You waved her hand to disperse the lingering smoke and dust, and looking at the large amount of good stuff piled up inside, her beautiful eyes smiled into crescent moons.

"Hurry up and finish packing, then go help your second brother and the others."

Upon hearing this, Shen You and Mu Chang went inside first to collect the items using their storage bags. Once the storage bags were full, the other Shen family cultivators would then use their large animal skin bags to collect the remaining items.

Soon, all the cultivation supplies in the stone chamber were taken away by the crowd.

Meanwhile, Shen Chonghong and He Chongyi, along with another group of Shen family cultivators, were plundering the spirit mines and fields under the jurisdiction of the Great Wushan Demon Cave.

Most of these spirit mines previously belonged to the Shen family, with a portion belonging to Qiyun Valley.

However, the Shen family later retreated to Yunshui City, and Qiyun Valley was forced to withdraw, so it was all occupied by Dawu Mountain.

Although these demon cultivators are too lazy to govern their territories, they cannot neglect the spiritual fields and mines.

After all, demon cultivators also need spirit crystals, spirit rice, and pills for cultivation. Even if they don't need the spirit ore they mine, they can transport it back to the Southern Border to sell it or find someone to help them refine magic artifacts.

All of this constitutes Shen Chongming's most important plan for the massive harvest.

The six major demon cultivator forces in the Southern Frontier coveted the blood and food of the Shen family and the land under the rule of Luoxia Mountain, and plotted against the two families using a large-scale harvest plan.

Shen Chongming readily agreed because he had come up with this plan.

Before the great harvest begins, all the people under his rule are relocated to Yunshui City, leaving several empty cities for them to plunder.

They prepared hiding places in advance in some secluded locations under their jurisdiction, using array plates that could conceal their presence, along with invisibility talismans, to lay in ambush.

If the enemy splits their forces to search, and if a surprise attack is possible, it should be launched against a small, weak unit of the enemy.

If the sneak attack fails, once the enemy has searched all four cities and found no one, they will guess that everyone has been gathered in Yunshui City.

At that time, all of the enemy's forces will be drawn to it.

He could then lead his men to raid the enemy's base camp and plunder various resources and treasures.

When Luo Yao was first informed of this plan, she mentioned that it was extremely dangerous.

The real danger lies in Yunshui City. Uncle Shen Wen'an, in coordination with the Renshui Yinling Formation, must be able to hold off the enemy.

Otherwise, if the city falls, the Shen family's nearly 100 years of accumulation will likely be lost.

Fortunately, Shen Wen'an's swift defeat of Bai Shanjun instilled fear in Lan Jue and the others.

Seeing that the great harvest plan was about to end, Shen Chongming gave an order that all the cultivators in the clan should hide the cultivation resources they had seized and the corpses of the monsters they had hunted in various hiding places. After the demon soldiers of Dawu Mountain outside Yunshui City withdrew, they would slowly transport them back to the city.

Hidden Dragon Mountain.

A month has passed.

The Lan Jue demons, along with the remaining lesser demons from Mount Da Wu, also withdrew from Yunshui City.

In the void, an old goat with a white beard asked in confusion, "Brother Lan, what exactly did Grandma say?"

"Why did we have to work so hard to put on a show in Yunshui City for more than ten days?"

Hearing this, the Snow Wolf King and the Black Ape were also puzzled.

Lan Jue's expression shifted between light and dark, then she sighed heavily and said, "My aunt said that the Shen family's sword cultivator's strength is somewhat strange, and she couldn't see through it either."

"Let's not rush into danger and conserve our strength to seize other forces next time we can plunder them."

Upon hearing this, the three old goat demons suddenly realized what was happening.

"If that's the case, why don't we just leave when Lord Baishan is killed?"

"Why risk staying behind to feign an attack on Yunshui City?"

The black ape frowned and asked.

Lan Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"We, the people of Dawu Mountain, cannot suffer this loss alone."

"The harvest period is one month. If we stop making any moves after half a month, other forces will definitely realize that the Shen family is not easy to deal with."

"We will be extra cautious next time we harvest."

"Now that we've been besieging Yunshui City for half a month, they'll realize that the Shen family is nothing special."

"We've been trapped in the city for so long, we don't even have the strength to fight back."

As Lan Jue spoke, a gloating expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"If they underestimate the Shen family by then, they will suffer even greater losses than my Great Wushan."

Upon hearing this, the three goat demons all showed strange expressions on their faces.

The six major Golden Elixir forces in Southern Xinjiang are all enemies.

The Great Wushan Mountain suffered a loss at the hands of the Shen family. If they could use the Shen family to weaken other forces, they could at least feel more at ease.

"Let's go."

"This harvest yielded nothing, so we can only take some seeds from the land we have planted and send them back to my great-aunt to enjoy."

"We need to send the boys to the black market in southern Xinjiang to get some medicine that can stimulate the mating of sheep, so they can reproduce properly and make up for this loss."

"By the way, pick some smart and obedient sheep from among those two-legged sheep to manage for us. We can't let them graze like this anymore."

This incident was a heavy blow to Lan Jue.

This forced him to change his previous strategy.

The old goat and the others remained silent.

They were sent here to act as thugs; they couldn't be bothered with anything else.

The demon soldiers and generals rode back to the Western Wilderness Grassland on dark clouds.

The little demons then dispersed and went back to their carefree lives.

Before Lan Jue and the old goat demons even arrived at the manor, they sensed something was amiss from afar.

Normally, the little demons guarding outside the manor would fawn over them upon seeing them.

Now, however, it is deathly silent, and the many little demons that used to stand guard at the manor gate have all disappeared.

"not good!"

After a moment's thought, Lan Jue's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the manor.

Old Goat and the others also landed in the manor.

The vast manor was in a terrible state, with dried bloodstains everywhere among the broken walls and ruins.

Looking around, Lan Jue flashed and hurriedly rushed to the stone vault where various cultivation resources were stored.

The gate of the stone storehouse was reduced to rubble, and all the spiritual crystals and herbs that the many demons, both great and small, had painstakingly collected and mined over the past few years were looted.

Lan Jue's heart was bleeding!

The anger in his chest almost materialized!

boom!
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of dark purple blood flames, burning the corpses of the two lesser demons that hadn't been taken away to ashes.

"What a Shen family..."

"I will remember this grudge!"

Lan Jue was extremely angry at this moment.

The grand harvest plan was his idea, designed to scheme against Luoxia Mountain and the Shen family.

When Shen Chongming readily agreed to this matter, Lan Jue also felt that he was forced to agree due to pressure from the six major Golden Core forces.

Now it seems that I was tricked by someone else.

Of all the major powers, Wushan is probably the one that suffered the greatest losses in this massive harvest.

Such a huge disgrace must never be revealed!

Lan Jue felt resentful and thought coldly.

……

Yunshui City.

As the great battle came to an end, the common people of the four cities emerged from the caves throughout the city and, led by their respective affiliated families, returned to their original cities in a grand procession.

Of the four cities under the Shen family's rule, only Chun Gui City and He Jian City suffered some damage due to a small-scale conflict.

Xingyang City was only thoroughly searched by the many lesser demons brought by Lord Baishan, and did not suffer much damage.

After returning home, the various ethnic groups immediately organized manpower to begin repairs and reconstruction.

Inside the Blackwater Pavilion.

The grandfather and his grandson sat together.

Shen Chongming looked at Shen Wen'an, whose face was somewhat pale, and cupped his hands, asking, "Is Third Uncle alright?"

Shen Wen'an shook his head: "It's just that I've overdrawn my sword energy, so I'm afraid I'll need to rest for a while."

"How was the harvest this time?"

Lan Jue and his group attacked Yunshui City for more than ten days, which not only depleted his sword energy.

Even the spirit crystals stored at home have been almost completely used up.

If we don't get anything substantial and only bring back some monster corpses, we'll probably lose out.

Shen Yuan looked over curiously upon hearing this.

Meeting their expectant gazes, Shen Chongming smiled and said, "It's quite a haul."

"There are nearly a thousand spirit crystals, as well as a lot of various spirit ores, spirit herbs and medicines."

"Although the spirit rice snatched from the spirit field was not fully ripe and was somewhat inferior to normal spirit rice, it still weighed more than 5,000 catties."

"Including the materials produced from the corpses of many demonic beasts, such as demon essence pills, I estimate that it should be worth more than two thousand spirit crystals."

Upon hearing this, both Shen Yuan and Shen Wen'an smiled.

Although this came at a considerable cost and involved significant risks, the gains were indeed substantial.

"Grandpa, Third Uncle."

"I plan to visit Danzhou once the uproar over this massive harvest has completely subsided."

"These many gains need to be exchanged for things that my Shen family can use."

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "We must try our best to convert what we have gained into strength, otherwise we may not be as lucky as we are this time when the next harvest begins."

"However, let's wait until your third uncle has recovered before he goes to Danzhou."

Shen Wen'an nodded and said, "There are quite a few experts in the Yangnao Land who have reached the peak of the Fetal Breathing Realm, or even those who are half-step Golden Core Realm."

"You can't take the risk."

"Leave the matter of going to Danzhou to Third Uncle."

Shen Chongming pondered for a moment but did not insist.

There's no rush now. After this harvest, there will be a relatively peaceful ten-year period for the Shen family to develop.

During this period, there may be minor frictions between the parties, but they should all exercise considerable restraint.
