Opponents and the Evil Devils' Movements

Before the gates of the Secret Realm, the various factions were clearly divided.

True Person Yunting of the Luochuan Sect stood with his hands behind his back at the very front.

Yun Zhan, who had already advanced to the Golden Core Cultivator, stood on either side of Golden Core Cultivator True Person Yunting, one on the left and one on the right.

Next were the forty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, none of whom were Qi Refining cultivators, whom the Luochuan Sect planned to send to the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm.

Among these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, four stood out the most, and Yang Tianyou naturally recognized them.

The Old Ancestor had given him a document beforehand, which recorded the most outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators among the major forces in Luochuan Commandery, including those False Core Cultivator stage.

The four people were two older False Core Cultivators named Chen Shuang and Xuan Gu.

The two sharp-witted and dashing Foundation Establishment Great Perfection were named Song Shaojie and Xiao Ye.

The first two need no further explanation; their cultivation levels are evident, they are both over a hundred years old, have rich combat experience, and possess magical Law Artifacts provided by their sects, making their combat strength absolutely formidable.

The two behind them, although slightly inferior in cultivation level, possessed equally formidable auras and definitely had the strength of False Core- core cultivator.

More importantly, since their Dao Paths are still intact, they are definitely more valued by the Luochuan Sect. If there are any trump cards or special moves, they must be carried by these two.

After the Luochuan Sect, there were other Golden Core Force.

The first thing that caught Yang Tianyou's attention was the Nine Swords True Person, dressed in white, with a scruffy beard, a lazy demeanor, and eyes that held a terrifying Sword Qi.

He stood on a large blue stone, accompanied by twenty Foundation Establishment from the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Among these Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Seven Absolutes Sect, the leaders were also two False Core Cultivators: one named Chu Yun Tian and the other named Jiang Xiong. Both were renowned False Core Cultivators with extraordinary achievements.

To the left of the Seven Absolutes Sect, on a flat grassy area, more than twenty Cultivators from the Cloudglow Sect came into view, with Hong Qing among them. When he saw Yang Tianyou looking over, Hong Qing quickly waved to him, and Yang Tianyou smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Leading the Cloudglow Sect's team were two Golden Core Cultivators, True Person Bai Long and True Person Bai Xuan, who were fellow disciples; the former was at the Middle Golden Core, and the latter at the Early Golden Core.

The Foundation Establishment leaders of the Cloudglow Sect are two women, one older and one younger.

The older one, named Zhao Hongying, was a False Core Cultivator, around thirty years old, with a slender figure and captivating charm, making her very eye-catching.

This young woman, in her late teens, is also a beauty.

She wore a long Yun Bai dress, the hem of which swayed in the wind, making her look like a fairy. Her black hair danced in the air, causing several young Cloudglow Sect Foundation Establishment behind her to look on with infatuation.

This woman was valued by Yang Tianyou more than Zhao Hongying.

Her name is Shen Luoyu, a cultivator with the Wind Spirit Root and Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation. During the Cold Tide War, she killed no fewer than ten Foundation Establishment Late Stage Foreign Races, making her an absolutely ruthless person.

Further to the left of the Cloudglow Sect is Yin Corpse Sect.

In stark contrast to the rather casual style of the previous two, the group of Cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect were dressed in neat and orderly attire.

They were all dressed in dark yellow Daoist robes, with wooden hairpins in their hair, bells tied at their waists, and peach wood swords on their backs, looking like ordinary Daoist corpse drivers.

The leader of the Yin Corpse Sect, Golden Core Cultivator known as the True Person Bai Shi, had a junior brother True Person Heishi, who once represented the Yin Corpse Sect at the Yang Household's Golden Core Banquet.

To the right and behind the True Person Bai Shi stood an exceptionally tall and burly man with a rugged face. This man was Zhang Daoyuan, the leader of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect.

Not only is he skilled in controlling Corpse Manipulation and Ghost Control, but his Spirit Inviting Technique is also unparalleled.

It is said that if Zhang Daoyuan is angered, he can even summon the Golden Core Cultivators of the sect to possess him in a short period of time, making him a formidable opponent.

In addition to the sects and representative figures mentioned above.

There are also some top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivators whose combat power is comparable to that of False Core Cultivator, and we need to pay special attention to them.

For example, Fairy Yanxiao of the Flamefrost Sect.

Shangguan Hong of the Goldwater Sect.

Spirit Sword Master of the Yi Sword Sect.

Wang Qingshan from the Wang Household in Heiling County.

The Lin brothers Lin He and Lin Long, from the Lin Household in Huangshan County.

These are all formidable opponents, and Yang Tianyou is willing to use all his strength to defeat them.

Beyond the Golden Core Level forces are the various Foundation Establishment Lineage of Luochuan Commandery.

Lineage more than two Foundation Establishment Cultivators that still has a modicum of ambition will send someone to come.

Luochuan Commandery thirteen counties, each with at least forty or fifty, and sometimes one or two hundred. There are thousands of Foundation Establishment Lineage, and now there are at least five or six hundred gathered here.

What does this mean?

Including the Foundation Establishment sent by the Golden Core Forces, as well as hundreds of other Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered outside the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm has now exceeded one thousand.

Thousands of Foundation Establishment gathered together, their overwhelming momentum silencing the surrounding area for miles. The once rampant poisonous insects and ferocious beasts trembled in fear, fleeing into the distance without daring to look back.

At this time, some clever and self-aware Qi Refining cultivators seized the opportunity to plunder resources behind the beast herd and made quite a bit of money. They quickly left this troublesome place with beaming smiles and satisfied expressions.

Of course, there were also some Qi Refining cultivators who, perhaps unsure of their own position or unwilling to accept defeat, wanted to risk their lives for a chance. They began to contact various powerful forces, offering up all the treasures in their Storage Bags, hoping to enter the Secret Realm ahead of time.

During this process, the Yang Household, as a newly Golden Core Force, was actually very popular among Qi Refining cultivators. Dozens of Late Qi Refinement cultivators came to the Yang family, offering various Cultivation Resources, hoping that the Yang Household would give them a helping hand.

Faced with such an easy opportunity, Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou readily accepted it, selecting twenty of the highest-paying Qi Refining cultivators and incorporating them into their team.

The reason for not selecting too many people is that all the major powers are doing this kind of thing, and with a limited number of people, we can't go too far; twenty people is just right.

The benefits of great strength are evident everywhere; the naked Principle of the jungle permeates every corner of the Cultivation World.

While the major powers of Luochuan Commandery gathered Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, awaiting Secret Realm opening, some undercurrents were quietly brewing.

In a mountain valley somewhere in Red Tide County, a dozen or so Outer Dao at the Golden Core Realm gathered.

Wisps of dark Devil Qi permeated the narrow valley, causing the vegetation to Withered Yellow and the earth to seem to turn black as well.

Eerie laughter rose and fell, and the oppressive aura of Golden Core filled the air. These Evil Devil Cultivators were notorious figures in Luochuan Commandery or other counties, and several of them were on the Wanted Lists of various major forces for years.

Their gathering together was clearly not for any good purpose.

"Fellow cultivators, the emergence of the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm has drawn the attention of all the major forces in Luochuan Commandery. For us, there is no better news than this!" A Devil Cultivator with a purplish-red face and surrounded by poisonous gas said with a cruel smile.

His name is Five Poisons Old Devil, and he is at the Early Golden Core. However, with his unpredictable and bizarre poison skills, even Middle Golden Core cultivators do not want to provoke him. It's not that they can't beat him, but that it's easy to injure the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of their own!

"Heh heh, it's good to fish in troubled waters! Ever since the Battle of Luochuan Pass ended and the Green-Nosed Iron-Horned Lion Race was defeated by the Luochuan Sect and sued for peace, our lives have been miserable. We've either been hiding here and there or have had to leave this place by crossing county lines. It's really frustrating!"

The speaker was a dwarf Devil Cultivator who stood five feet tall. His face was covered with dense, dark blue lines, which writhed as he smiled, resembling a ferocious, blue-faced Vengeful Ghost with fangs, silently howling.

This person is called the Dwarf Child by the cultivators of the Immortal Dao Path. Although the name is unpleasant, he is very strong and is a Devil Cultivator in the mid- Middle Golden Core.

The Dwarf Child is skilled at Ghost Control. He possesses a Golden Core Ghost King and several Third-Tier Middle-Grade Devil Treasure. His strength is quite remarkable, even among Middle Golden Core cultivators.

The Immortal Dao Path had been after him for a long time and had sent Golden Core Cultivators to hunt him down on several occasions, but the most successful attempt only resulted in him being severely injured, without actually killing him.

"..."

The dozen or so Golden Core Devil Cultivators discussed amongst themselves, but their general opinion was quite consistent: while the major powers of Luochuan Commandery were focusing their attention on the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, they should also make a move to gain some benefits.

"Alright, since everyone agrees on taking advantage of the situation, let's each choose our targets and strike."

At this moment, a Devil Cultivator of clearly higher status spoke up, and the other Devil Cultivators looked over, their eyes flashing.

"I'll choose the Flamefrost Sect. I've been eyeing their Third Tier Spirit Gold Mine for ages!" said a Middle Golden Core Devil Cultivator.

"Then I choose the Purple Moon Yang Household. This Lineage has just advanced to the Golden Core and only has two Golden Core Combat Strength. One of them has even run away to the Southern Forbidden Secret Forest. At this time, it is the best choice to attack the Yang Household!" said the Five Poisons Old Devil.

Then he looked at the Dwarf Child and invited him to join him. The boy thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Let me join the attack on the Yang Household. With the combined strength of the three of us, even if the Yang Household has a Third Tier Clan-Guarding Array, we should be able to break through it within half a day!" At this moment, another voice came.

The Five Poisons Old Devil looked over and saw that it was Old Devil Yan, who was also at the Early Golden Core. The two had a fairly good relationship, so he nodded in agreement.

Three Golden Core Devil Cultivators have already chosen to attack the Purple Moon Yang Household, so other Devil Cultivators with similar ideas have had to give up. They came to seize resources, and if too many people gathered together, there wouldn't be enough to go around.

"Then I'll choose the Goldwater Sect. Their small Spirit Stone mines are incredibly valuable!" another Golden Core Devil Cultivator said.

"The Geng Metal Spirit Vein of the Yi Sword Sect is also quite good. The Spirit Gold produced within it is of very high value. Moreover, as far as I know, the Geng Metal essence contained within this Spirit Vein is about to mature, so I plan to make a trip to the Yi Sword Sect!"

"Geng Metal Essence? My Gold-Eater Insects need this treasure to advance. Count me in!"

The Devil Cultivators discussed amongst themselves and quickly determined their respective targets.

At this moment, the leading Devil Cultivator spoke up, "The attack should ideally be completed within half a day, and should begin simultaneously. Otherwise, once the Immortal Dao sect reacts and surrounds us, the danger will increase dramatically."

"Furthermore, after this operation, it would be best to take the supplies and temporarily leave Luochuan Commandery to lay low for a while and avoid trouble..."

"Haha, Brother Qian, don't worry, we naturally understand that!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Daoist Friends. By the way, when should we launch our joint attack?"

"Three days from now, at midnight, we will launch our attacks simultaneously from our respective chosen positions. Half a day later, regardless of whether we succeed or not, we should retreat as soon as possible and not linger!" The Devil Cultivator surnamed Qian said, looking around at everyone.

"Three days? Sure, that's enough time for me to get there!"

"That's settled then. In three days, let the Immortal Dao cultivators experience our skills!"

Half an hour later, the dozen or so Golden Core Devil Cultivators dispersed, and the dense Devil Qi that had been permeating the air also disappeared. The Withered Yellow grass and trees became lush and green again, as if everything before had been an illusion.
