Meanwhile.
The three Nascent Soul Completion Xu Jin Old Demons besieging Golden Winged Mountain were greatly surprised when they saw that, although Golden Winged Mountain's counterattack was formidable, most of those attacking were low-level cultivators, while only one Nascent Soul cultivator had acted.
"How could such strength have wiped out that Nascent Soul Late Stage clansman our clan sent here before?"
"And the other demon factions also sent Nascent Soul Middle and Late Stage experts here back then, didn't they?"

Or the previous battle had injured some Ling Clan members, who were currently recuperating.
Or the Ling Clan's powerful experts had gone outside to stir up trouble.
The first two possibilities were easy enough to guard against, but if the final speculation was true, things would become troublesome.
Quite a few demon lords of the Void Sky Demon Flame Tiger Clan were currently following demon lords from other demon factions in attacking the Nascent Soul forces near the Ling Clan.
