War Looms

Seated at the head of the table, the Guanghan Immortal parted her lips slightly, her voice melodious and pleasant, yet also filled with the majesty of a powerful being, "Gentlemen, the Bloodfiend Devil Lord of the North is frequently mobilizing his Devil Race army. The Gluttonous Devil Lord of the Southwest is also making significant moves, often sending out small Devil Race squads to harass and probe our strength. It seems a great battle is inevitable!"

Upon hearing the words of the Guanghan Immortal, the crowd of cultivators below erupted in an uproar.

A cultivator who was only five feet tall and exuded a dense spiritual light Sage Manifestation. He was Fengfu King, one of the three kings of the Spirit Tribe, and a powerful cultivator in the Mid Sage Manifestation.

"Daoist Friends Guanghan, the Devil Race Bloodfiend Devil Lord and the Gluttonous Devil Lord occupy strategic locations in the north and south respectively, forming a pincer movement between them. Once the war begins, we will be overwhelmed with dealing with them."

I think it would be better to concentrate our forces and eliminate the Gluttonous Devil Lord before the war.

The forces here are weak, the Devil Race army is small, and there are only six Devil Race at the Sage Manifestation. If we concentrate our forces, we can definitely take them down.

Once the Gluttonous Devil Lord is defeated, the remaining Bloodfiend Devil Lord will be much easier to deal with!

After Fengfu King finished speaking, some of the cultivators in the room nodded repeatedly, seemingly in agreement.

However, while some agreed with the idea, others disagreed with Fengfu King.

A Blood Race man, dressed in an exquisite and magnificent blood-red robe, with a face as handsome as jade, snorted coldly and then spoke.

"Hmph, Fengfu King makes it sound so easy. If we concentrate our forces to attack the Gluttonous Devil Lord, how can the Bloodfiend Devil Lord remain inactive? He will surely seize the opportunity to stab us in the back."

"I think we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes, form an array to protect ourselves, and wait for the Seven Stars Sacred Land to defeat the Blood Sha Devil Lord. They will naturally come to our aid!" said Yin Wumie, the Blood Race Old Ancestor.

His words were echoed by many, including the Second Elder of the Barbarian Tribe, Ba Lie, who directly voiced his support.

"Indeed, Daoist Friends is quite right. I also think that forming an array for self-protection is better."

We have several Sixth Tier Formation Masters, and our clan possesses the power of Sixth Tier Totem Pillar. Even if both sides of the Devil Race attack simultaneously, we can definitely withstand it.

If we can hold them off for a while and weaken the Devil Race, then we can seize the opportunity to attack and decide the fate of the world in one battle!

Then, the High-Rank Cultivators below began arguing endlessly about the two proposed solutions.

The Spirit Tribe, the Demon Race, and some Human Race cultivators supported annihilating a portion of the Devil Race first, lest their own forces be dispersed.

The Blood Race, Barbarian Tribe, and another group of Human Race cultivators advocated forming an array for self-protection. They wanted to use the power of Formation formations and totems to create a protective array, waiting for the Devil Race army to falter and become exhausted before launching a decisive attack to defeat them.

Both sides have valid points and are stubbornly sticking to their own opinions, making it difficult to determine a final solution.

Finally, they turned their gaze to the Guanghan Immortal, who sat at the head of the table, hoping to ask her for her decision.

The Guanghan Immortal didn't speak, but then released another bombshell. "We just received intelligence that the Seven Stars Sacred Land was defeated by the Blood Sha Devil Lord. Although they managed to hold on using their sect's resources, they are powerless to support us."

At the same time, the Blood Sha Devil Lord also freed up some of his forces, which were rushing towards this direction from the southeast, led by three Sage Manifestation Devil Race Clan members.

"What?"

Fengfu King, Yin Wumie, and many other powerful figures could no longer remain seated. They stood up abruptly, their expressions shifting rapidly.

"What should we do? The Devil Race are attacking from three sides, and we're surrounded. We can't even retreat..."

"Yes, adding the three Sage Manifestation Devil Race sent by the Blood Sha Devil Lord, we are facing a total of eighteen Sage Manifestation, four more than our side Devil Race. Not to mention, their Devil Race army will also surpass us in numbers."

"Sigh, what exactly happened to the Seven Stars Sacred Land? They seemed so confident of victory just a few days ago, how did they suddenly lose?"

"Who knows? Human Race are always like this, they love to talk big, but when it comes to actually doing things, they tend to mess things up at crucial moments!"

"Shh, with a major battle at hand, don't say things that could damage our relationship."

Yunhua watched the lively discussion below, a sense of anticipation stirring within her.

According to historical records, the Lu Wu Realm emerged victorious in this great battle.

As for the reason for the victory, it's quite simple; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was due to the power of the Guanghan Immortal alone.

In this battle, the Guanghan Immortal did not use any ingenious schemes. She relied entirely on her extraordinary strength and her Mid Sage Manifestation Incarnation to decisively defeat the Devil Race Clan.

She first sent out Incarnation disguised as her true self, leading four Sage Manifestation including the Fengfu King, to annihilate the reinforcements sent by the Blood Sha Devil Lord at an extremely fast speed.

Then, his true form led the remaining Sage Manifestation cultivators to form an array on the spot for self-protection and Concealment in the shadows.

Taking advantage of the Devil Race' relaxed vigilance, they launched a surprise attack, severely injuring the Bloodfiend Devil Lord.

Afterwards, using a spatial Saint Treasure, Incarnation temporarily broke the Devil Race's spatial blockade and suddenly returned to the main battlefield. Together with his original self, he defeated the Devil Race army.

Tens of millions of Devil Race soldiers were wiped out in this great battle.

The situation in the northern Eastern Continent shifted from strategic defense to strategic offense, firmly seizing the initiative.

This situation continued until the end of the war and the sealing of the Heavenly Demon.

Sure enough, just as the thought crossed Yunhua's mind, the Guanghan Immortal spoke, her voice powerful and resonant, filled with Sha Qi.

"Gentlemen, heed my command!"

"We are here!" Hundreds of High-Rank Cultivators below stood up simultaneously, clasped their hands in salute.

"Fengfu King, Yin Wumie, each of you will lead a member of the Sage Manifestation Clan, along with a portion of the clan's main army, to accompany me tomorrow to the southeast to intercept and kill the reinforcements sent by the Blood Sha Devil Lord!"

"What? The fairy wants to personally intercept and kill them? How can this be? The main battlefield cannot be without your presence! Please reconsider, fairy!" Fengfu King and Yin Wumie said repeatedly, their tone urgent.

"Please reconsider, fairy!" The cultivators hurriedly bowed, trying to dissuade her.

Unexpectedly, the Guanghan Immortal waved her hand and said coldly, "I have my own plan for this matter. These are two sets of Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Formation Disc: the Purple Firmament Ringing Thunder Formation and the Myriad Woods Circumference of Heaven Formation. One is for offense, and the other is for defense. Combined with the Sixth Tier Formation and Barbarian Tribe Totem Pillar Central Plains the army, it will be no problem to withstand the Devil Race's temporary attack!"

As she spoke, the Guanghan Immortal fluttered her sleeves, and two Formation Disc, shimmering with spiritual light, floated in mid-air.

"But..." Fengfu King and the others were about to persuade him again when they suddenly heard the voice transmission of Guanghan Immortal, "Be careful, Heart Devil Race. I have my own plans for this matter, but it is not convenient to say it in front of everyone, lest the Devil Race hear the truth."

Don't worry, as long as we follow my method, we will definitely win this battle!

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Fengfu King and Yin Wumie, along with Sage Manifestation powerhouse, flickered.

They then pretended to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that they couldn't dissuade the Guanghan Immortal, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree, though their faces still showed deep displeasure.

Among the crowd, several Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators appeared calm, but a glint of black light flashed in their eyes.

If this black light were magnified ten thousand times, it would be discovered that it was not black light at all, but a hideous black worm with no eyes and a mouth full of tentacles.

The black worm floated in the cultivator's mind without any sign of being discovered. Even using Sixth Tier Detection -type Saint Treasure to investigate, it was difficult to detect the worm's existence.

This is the Heart Devil Race, the most enigmatic branch of the Devil Race. They can silently infiltrate the minds of living beings, subtly influencing their behavior and ultimately gaining complete control over them.

In the massive war that lasted for sixty years between the Devil Race and the native creatures of the Lu Wu Realm, the Heart Demon Race inflicted enormous losses on the Lu Wu Realm.

They even secretly controlled no fewer than five Sage Manifestation beings.

Fortunately, this incredibly strange Devil Race was extremely rare, and in the Late Stages of the war, White Sky Heavenly Lord developed a method to identify Devil Race, which allowed him to gradually eliminate them and lay a major foundation for winning the war.

After the war plan was laid out, the High-Rank Cultivators dispersed, leaving only Guanghan Immortal and Yunhua inside the Palace.

Facing her only disciple, the Guanghan Immortal appeared quite kind, a rare and touching smile on her face. "Chan'er, once this war begins, you must also participate, otherwise you'll easily attract criticism. However, to prevent you from being ambushed by the Devil Race in retaliation, I have specially crafted a Protective Jade Pendant for you."

Then, the Guanghan Immortal took out a beautifully crafted jade pendant with a chilling light and personally put it on Yunhua's wrist.

"This jade pendant contains one of my defensive Divine Abilities, enough to withstand three attacks from Mid Sage Manifestation cultivator. You only need to inject your Law Power into it to control it yourself."

"Thank you, Master!"

Yunhua bowed respectfully, her heart filled with excitement. If she could fulfill Yuechan's obsession, wouldn't she be able to use the Illusion Realm Origin to bring this jade pendant out of the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm?

However, Yunhua immediately sighed in dejection.

"Yuechan's obsession is quite simple: to kill as many Devil Race as possible."

However, to take this jade pendant out of the illusion, an immense amount of essence would be required, and I simply could not possibly obtain so much Illusion Realm Origin.

Unless I use the power of Golden Core to kill a Devil Race Spirit Transformation... No, that's not right. Now I am the personal disciple of the Guanghan Immortal. My own strength may be lacking, but I have a powerful backer. Relying on external forces is not out of the question..."

Yunhua's mind raced, and a vague idea formed in her head.

She tilted her head back, her face beaming, and said, "Master, Chan'er would like to Commander a Fifth Tier Flying Boat. Is that alright?"

"Fifth Tier Flying Boat? You're only at the Middle Golden Core. Commander Fifth Tier Flying Boat will not only cause controversy, but even if you were given the lead, you would have a hard time controlling it!" Guanghan Immortal frowned, extended her white jade index finger, and tapped Yunhua's forehead, saying irritably.

Upon hearing this, Yunhua's eyes flickered slightly, and she began to plead, "Master, just send a few more Nascent Soul Cultivators to assist me. Besides, don't you have several idle Dao Soldiers? Leave a few for Chan'er!"

Yunhua shook the Guanghan Immortal's arm and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Why do you seem so different today? Where is your usual aloofness?" The Guanghan Immortal looked at Yunhua with a half-smile and said softly.

"Isn't this because I need their help?"

Yunhua wasn't intimidated at all and said frankly that in the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm, once Ancient Cultivator is replaced, the probability of their identity being discovered is zero, so she wasn't afraid that Guanghan Immortal would see through her.

As expected, the latter didn't suspect anything. Her disciple had been by her side all along, and she would have noticed anything amiss long ago.

"Alright, these are five Dao Soldiers at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. You must treat them well and not send them to their deaths."

"In addition, I will allocate a group of cultivators and a Fifth Tier Flying Boat for you to command, but you must remember not to be too ostentatious. You must keep a low profile on the battlefield, understand?" Guanghan Immortal instructed worriedly.

"Yes, Chan'er understands!" Yunhua smiled sweetly and put away the five Dao Soldiers.

"I wonder how Tianyou is doing now. War is about to break out. I wish we could reunite. Should I use my identity to try and find him...?"
