Call to Exterminate the Demons
About an hour later, the guests at the wedding banquet had almost finished eating. Spirit Talisman True Person took to the air again and used his amplification technique to shout loudly.
"Since you have all eaten enough, I would like to tell you something. Apart from the disciples of my Hundred Spirits Sect, everyone present is Lineage cultivator or a strong individual among the Rogue Cultivator from my Hundred Spirits Sect territory."
"It's only been about twenty years since the once-in-a-century Demon Beast Uprising at Serpent Dragon Lake. Our Hundred Spirits Sect plans to take advantage of this opportunity to gather everyone here and call on you all to join us in attacking Demon Python Lake again, slaying a batch of Demon Beast. Hundred Spirits Sect, this will alleviate the pressure on our Hundred Spirits Sect cultivators during the upcoming Demon Beast Uprising, and secondly, it will allow us to seize another piece of land and establish a new prefecture."
"All Qi Refining Lineage within the territory of my Hundred Spirits Sect must send ten cultivators with Qi Training Middle Stage -Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment Family must send one Foundation Establishment Cultivator and thirty cultivators with a cultivation level of at least Qi Training Middle Stage- Qi Refining to respond to the call of my Hundred Spirits Sect. Anyone who disobeys will have their Spirit Vein taken back by my Hundred Spirits Sect and their entire clan will be exterminated."
"As for you independent Rogue Cultivator, including those who did not attend this Wedding Feast Rogue Cultivator, you all must..."
"You rogue Rogue Cultivator should not try to escape this battle by leaving our Hundred Spirits Sect territory, just like we did more than ten years ago when our Hundred Spirits Sect seized this vast land of Huai River County from the Serpent Dragon Lake region."
"The other four major sects in the Yan Kingdom, as well as the surrounding countries, will basically follow the example of my Hundred Spirits Sect in the near future and take the initiative to invade the territories of various Demon Beast to kill a number of Demon Beast and reduce the intensity of the Demon Beast Uprising. No matter where you go, a battle with Demon Beast is inevitable."
"Within three months, everyone must gather at Huai River Market Town as required."
"During this period, my Hundred Spirits Sect will have nearly a thousand cultivators patrolling the counties, prefectures, and states. Once anyone is discovered to have escaped the territory... behead them!"
These words caused an uproar among those present.
North of the Hundred Spirits Sect's territory lies Boundless Great Swamp land.
As one of the largest Demon Beast Gathering Ground in the Northern Wasteland, the Boundless Great Swamp is home to countless Demon Beast, including terrifying beings such as Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, Golden Core Demon King, and Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.
Legend has it that deep within the Boundless Great Swamp, there dwells a Transformation Stage Demon Venerable who can annihilate a Nascent Soul True Lord with a wave of his hand.
While the Spirit Transformation Demon Lord was a distant figure for the Hundred Spirits Sect in the Yan Kingdom, there was a very close threat to the Hundred Spirits Sect's territory: the Serpent Dragon Lake, located hundreds of thousands of miles south of the Hundred Spirits Sect's borders.
There are two Golden Core stage dragons in Serpent Dragon Lake, and a large number of Demon Race live within their territory spanning hundreds of Golden Core of miles.
Under the protection of the dragon, these Demon Race lived and multiplied safely, producing a large number of offspring.
Whenever the area within hundreds of thousands of miles surrounding Serpent Dragon Lake becomes unbearable due to the sheer number of Demon Beast, the two Golden Core Flood Dragons, whose intelligence has been awakened, will summon the Demon Race within the territory to launch an attack on the nearby Hundred Spirits Sect approximately once every hundred years.
In this way, if they successfully repel the Hundred Spirits Sect, they can occupy another piece of human territory and expand the territory of the Serpent Dragon Lake.
Even if they fail, they can still weaken the massive horde of Demon Beast within the Serpent Dragon Lake territory, preventing the hundreds of thousands of miles of Serpent Dragon Lake territory from becoming overburdened and leading to a large-scale infighting among the Demon Race.
The reason why the Demon Race of Serpent Dragon Lake, and even the entire Boundless Great Swamp, only launches an attack on the human race's territory once every hundred years is because it is a rule established by the Nascent Soul True Lord of the major forces of the Northern Wasteland and the Demon Emperor the Boundless Great Swamp after many earth-shattering battles.
Among thousands of tables.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun, who was sitting at the same table as Yang Qiujiang's family, glanced at Yang Minghua, his maternal grandfather, as well as Yang Qiujiang and Zhao Hong'e. Seeing that they looked as usual, as if they had known this would happen all along, Ling Pengyun frowned and muttered to himself.
"No wonder Brother-in-law Wu Yan announced his marriage to my cousin so publicly when many Lineage and Rogue Cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect gathered at the Huai River Little Meet. It turns out he was waiting for today."
"Brother-in-law Wu Yan must have been instructed by his father, Spirit Talisman True Person."
"They even use their children's marriages for their own benefit. My aunt's concern that my cousin would not be happy after marrying Wu Yan's husband is not entirely unfounded."
After a sigh, Ling Pengyun began to think about the Hundred Spirits Sect's recruitment of cultivators to launch a proactive attack on the territory of the Serpent Dragon Lake.
"Currently, even including the older generation, there are probably only about forty members of the Lineage who are at or above the Qi Training Middle Stage Refining. As one of the nine Qi Training Late Stage cultivators in the clan, I will most likely be led by the Lineage to respond to the call of the Hundred Spirits Sect."
"Three months should be enough time for me to comprehend the operating method of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation Sword Formation. By then, even if I have to fight against Demon Beast, I will have some confidence."
As early as last November, when Ling Pengyun was still stationed at Azure Stone Mountain, he had already comprehended the sword technique of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation and sought out Ling Ruqian, who was stationed at the Profound Water Mineral Vein in Azure Stone Lake, to ask for the operating method of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation.
The method of operating the Sword Formation is not difficult to comprehend and can be understood in a short time.
During the time that Ling Pengyun was distracted, the Spirit Talisman True Person spoke again.
"Please rest assured, everyone. Anyone who responds to the call of my Hundred Spirits Sect and attacks the Serpent Dragon Lake will be eligible to obtain Contribution Points from my Hundred Spirits Sect by slaying Demon Beast. These points can be exchanged for numerous spiritual items. There are so many spiritual items that I will not introduce them one by one. Please look up and take a look."
After saying that, Spirit Talisman True Person gently flicked his sleeve and summoned a round mirror the size of a palm.
The round mirror quickly grew larger once it was summoned.
In the blink of an eye, the round mirror expanded to a size of several hundred feet.
On the mirror surface, small golden characters appeared.
These small characters describe the many spiritual items that can be exchanged for by participating in the Demon Extermination War and obtaining Contribution Points from killing Demon Beast.
These numerous spiritual items are rare and precious on the market. The top priority is the Foundation Establishment Pill, which plays an extremely important role for Qi Refining cultivators. This time, the Hundred Spirits Sect has brought out ten Foundation Establishment Pill. Below the Foundation Establishment Pill is the second-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Hundred Spirits Water, which is in the form of thirty portions.
However, the Contribution Points required to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill and Hundred Spirits Water is extremely high; the former requires 30,000 Contribution Points to exchange for, and the latter requires 10,000 Contribution Points to exchange for.
It is slightly more expensive than the two items on the market.
The mirror also displayed the contribution points earned from slaying and handing over the corpses of various ranks of Demon Beast.
Submitting the corpse of a Early-Stage Qi Training, mid, late, or perfected Demon Beast will earn you 5, 10, 15, and 20 contribution points respectively.
Submitting the corpse of a Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, mid-stage, late-stage, or perfected Demon Beast beast will earn you 500, 1000, and 1500 Contribution Points respectively, excluding the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
The price of these Demon Beast was similar to that of Demon Beast on the market, and the nearly one thousand cultivators from various Lineage and Rogue Cultivator attending the Wedding Feast did not have any objections. They simply used Contribution Points of equal value instead of Spirit Stone.
Moreover, among the spiritual items available for exchange this time are many Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that are rarely found in the outside world.
Some powerful Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, or some established Foundation Establishment Family, are already planning how many Demon Beast they need to hunt to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
