Small Demon Uprising: Hidden Dangers
Half a month later.
In the Cloud Mist Wen Clan territory, a valley protected by a huge defensive light barrier is being attacked by Law Technique from four or five hundred Qi Training Demon Beast.
As the Demon Beast unleashed their Law Technique attacks, the protective light barrier guarding the valley trembled continuously, and the shimmering light on the barrier gradually dimmed.
However, the dozen or so Wen Clan cultivators stationed in the valley were not to be underestimated.
Among these cultivators, nearly half had reached the middle or late stages of Qi Refining, and the Wen Clan's Great Elder, who had reached the Qi Training Completion Refining, was also among them.
The other half of the cultivators were all Early-Stage Qi Training cultivators, but their combat power should not be underestimated due to their large number of self- Early-Stage Qi Training magical Law Artifact.
In about half an hour, the dozen or so Wen Clan cultivators in the valley, relying on the defensive light barrier protecting the valley, killed 70% of the Demon Beast that attacked the valley.
The remaining 30%, nearly 130 or 140 Qi Training Demon Beast, seeing the unfavorable situation, all fled.
The Wen Clan cultivators within the valley, thanks to the spirit -Spirit Storage Magic Item they each possessed, had not depleted much of their spiritual power despite the recent battle; they all retained at least 70% of their spiritual power.
Under these circumstances, Wen Ruofei, the Great Elder the Wen Clan, wanted to prevent the escaped Demon Beast from spreading to various parts of his Lineage.
As a result, the escaped Demon Beast continued to wreak havoc on various parts of the Lineage in the future. So, he took three Qi Refining cultivators in the middle and late Qi Refining and rode a Gray-Feathered Peng Bird in the Qi Training Late Stage, flying out of the valley to chase after the nearest demonic Demon Beast.
However, Wen Ruofei and the others rode the Gray-Feathered Peng Bird, chasing after the fleeing group of Demon Beast. When they were three or four miles away from the valley, they passed a desolate mountain that was several tens of feet high.
Suddenly, hundreds of evil spirits and a dozen magical Law Artifact flew out from the desolate mountain and attacked Wen Ruofei and the others who were riding Gray-Feathered Peng Bird.
As a cultivator at the Qi Training Completion, Wen Ruofei had extremely rich combat experience. When he saw the numerous evil spirits and Law Artifact attacking, he immediately unleashed several Golden Light Talisman, which transformed into several golden light screens around his body, blocking the incoming attacks.
He looked at the hundreds of evil spirits that were blocked by several golden light curtains and was shocked.
Looking down at the place where the evil spirits had attacked, he immediately saw more than ten Devil Cultivator exuding demonic energy appearing on the desolate mountain below.
This group of Devil Cultivator was led by Tian Yuan, and each of them carried a Evil Ghost Banner.
The Evil Ghost Banner was once the unique magical Law Artifact of Old Devil Li, a renowned Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator from Huai River County.
Upon seeing this, Wen Ruofei's face immediately darkened.
"How come there are still so many remnants of Old Devil Li's sect? This is troublesome."
Wen Ruofei also possessed astonishing wealth, and took out more than a dozen Defensive Spirit Talisman to resist the incoming attacks.
Finally, riding the Gray-Feathered Peng Bird, he led the three Qi Training Middle Stage cultivators from the Wen Clan back to the Rare Mist Valley.
However, Tian Yuan and his group of Devil Cultivator did not stop there. Instead, they surrounded the Rare Mist Valley and summoned hundreds of Qi Training Stage evil spirits to bombard the defensive light barrier protecting the Rare Mist Valley.
The defensive light barrier protecting the Rare Mist Valley was already weakened after withstanding the bombardment of hundreds of Demon Beast.
Although the dozen or so Wen Clan cultivators inside the valley tried their best to resist the attack of the dozen or so Devil Cultivator outside the valley, the Wen Clan cultivators inside the valley had already experienced a great battle.
They had used most of their powerful self-destructing magical Law Artifact, and their strength was not particularly high. Only half of them had reached the Qi Training Middle Stage Refining or above, while the other half were only at the Early-Stage Qi Training Refining.
It is far inferior to those demonic Devil Cultivator who have the help of evil spirits.
In about an hour, the Transformed Defense Light Screen by the array protecting the valley was shattered.
Tian Yuan also led his Devil Cultivator into the Rare Mist Valley and fought against the dozen or so Wen Clan cultivators inside.
With the help of the defensive light barrier, the Wen Clan cultivators were no match for the Devil Cultivator.
Moreover, it's a direct confrontation.
The battle ended not long after.
Only the Great Elder Wen Ruofei, the Second Elder Wen Ruofeng, and two Qi Training Middle Stage Refining cultivators survived the Wen Clan's massacre and escaped by sheer luck.
All the Wen Clan cultivators in the rest of the valley died tragically, Rare Mist Valley was also occupied by Tian Yuan and his group of Devil Cultivator.
Several hours later.
When Wen Ruofei returned to Rare Mist Valley with the entire clan and the more than twenty Qi Refining cultivators who had come to their aid, they did not see any trace of the Devil Cultivator, but only a Blood Sea.
The twenty or thirty thousand mortals who were originally in the valley all died at the hands of the Devil Cultivator, and not a single corpse was left behind.
This sight enraged the Wen Clan cultivators. Although the twenty or thirty thousand mortals in the valley did not possess Spirit Root, they were the foundation of the Wen Clan. Every year, one or two of these mortals would emerge with Spirit Root.
The fact that tens of thousands of mortals have died or been injured means that for at least the next ten years, the probability of the Wen Clan having Spirit Root among mortals will decrease by several percent each year.
This situation is tantamount to a death warrant for the already struggling Cloud Mist Wen Clan.
In the valley.
Seeing the Blood Sea before him, Wen Ruofei's face was filled with rage, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Devil Cultivator, you just wait."
"Once this Demon Beast Uprising ends and the core of our clan returns from West Yang Market Town, our clan will search high and low to find and kill you all."
Several days later.
When a large number of Demon Beast broke into the territory of the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan, a Small Demon Uprising broke out.
As a result, the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan, which had no Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed there, suffered heavy losses among both ordinary people and cultivators within its territory, just like the Cloud Mist Wen Clan.
In the following month, several Small Demon Uprising broke out in both companies.
These demonic disturbances resulted in the deaths of at least thirty cultivators in each of the Cloud Mist Wen Clan and Azure Bamboo Wang Clan, causing both clans to lose nearly half of their remaining Qi Refining cultivators.
The number of ordinary people who died was even greater; both families lost at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.
To prevent the number of casualties among cultivators and mortals from continuing to increase, which could lead to demonic chaos and destabilize their own foundations, both families sought assistance from the other three Foundation Establishment Family in Huai River County who had Foundation Establishment combat power.
The Lingxiao Ling Clan has Ling Pengyun in charge.
The Tiger's Roar Liu Clan has the Flame Cloud Tiger, Guardian Spirit Beast in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment their clan.
The Falling Dusk Luo Clan even has two Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed in the Lineage.
Because the troublemakers were Devil Cultivator cultivators, the other three major Lineage also adhered to the alliance against the enemy and each sent several cultivators above the Qi Training Middle Stage Refining to the territories of the Cloud Mist Wen Clan and the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan.
Meanwhile, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Lingxiao Ling Clan and the Falling Dusk Luo Clan would patrol the territories of the Cloud Mist Wen Clan and the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan every day to prevent the demonic chaos from happening again.
This measure did indeed work.
The Devil Cultivator cultivators led by Tian Yuan, who instigated the Small Demon Uprising, withdrew from Huai River County because they were afraid that there were Foundation Establishment Cultivator from other clans patrolling the territories of the Cloud Mist Wen Clan and the Azure Bamboo Wang Clan. Instead, they set their sights on the six Foundation Establishment Family in Ice Flood Dragon County Jiao Province of Jiaozhou, which is next to Huai River County.
These six Foundation Establishment Family are all newly established Lineage that have only been around for a little over ten years. They have weak foundations, and each family only has one Foundation Establishment, who has been recruited away by the Hundred Spirits Sect.
This also meant that the six Foundation Establishment Family of Ice Flood Dragon County were simply unable to withstand the chaos caused by Tian Yuan and his Devil Cultivator, resulting in huge losses for each family.
On the contrary, Tian Yuan and his group gained a great deal.
This day.
Tian Yuan and his group annihilated a mortal village in Ice Flood Dragon County, killing tens of thousands of mortals. They then stopped and found a secluded place in Ice Flood Dragon County, where they dug out a huge underground cave abode.
The surface of this enormous underground cave abode was piled high with the corpses of at least 90,000 mortals and 108 corpses of cultivators at or above the Qi Training Middle Stage.
Tian Yuan, Devil Cultivator who had Qi Training Completion, was sitting cross-legged in the center of these corpses.
The dozen or so Devil Cultivator who had followed Tian Yuan from Heaven River County guarded the area around the cave abode.
Tian Yuan planned to use the corpses on the ground to refine Higher Vehicle Blood Origin Pill.
Higher Vehicle Blood Origin Pill have the same medicinal effects as Foundation Establishment Pill, both increasing the probability of Foundation Establishment by more than 30%.
At this moment, Tian Yuan was constantly casting Hand Seals, and a blood-red vortex several feet long condensed several feet above his head, continuously absorbing the corpses of mortals and cultivators on the ground into his body.
With each additional corpse of mortals and cultivators absorbed, the crimson vortex's glowing light would grow even brighter.
Several more days passed, and the corpses of all the cultivators and mortals in the area were absorbed into the bodies of the blood-red vortex above.
Tian Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, changed his finger technique and pondered for a moment.
"Condensation."
The crimson vortex above trembled, flashed with bloody light, and gradually shrank.
In just about half an hour, the crimson vortex transformed into a Blood Qi -Blood Red Pill.
Upon Tian Yuan the Blood Origin Pill had been successfully refined, Tian Yuan was overjoyed and quickly took it into his hand to examine it closely.
"We've finally succeeded in refining this elixir."
Just as he was overjoyed, he noticed several greedy eyes around him.
He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, where he saw the dozen or so disciples and their descendants who were guarding the cave for him.
"I almost forgot to deal with you guys."
Tian Yuan sneered and muttered something to himself.
The next moment, he waved his hand and took out a Hundred Ghost Banner from his Storage Bag, summoning a hundred powerful evil ghosts from it, which directly attacked the dozen or so disciples and grand-disciples of the Devil Cultivator around him.
The dozen or so Devil Cultivator were far Tian Yuan, and only three of them were Qi Training Late Stage cultivators, while the rest were only early- to mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
In addition, after this massacre, every evil spirit in Tian Yuan's Hundred Ghost Banner had been strengthened to at least the Qi Training Late Stage.
Before long, the dozen or so Devil Cultivator were killed by the hundred evil spirits summoned by Tian Yuan.
Having accomplished this task, Tian Yuan the corpses of the dozen or so Devil Cultivator, a crimson glint flashing in his eyes.
"With these ten or so corpses to refine blood pills, even if I fail to break through to the Foundation Establishment this time, I can quickly recover from my injuries and seek another opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment."
"If I am fortunate enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment this time, the blood pills refined from these corpses can quickly help me stabilize my cultivation."
After a moment's thought, he quickly put the corpses into his Storage Bag, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his Cultivation Method.
After restoring himself to his best condition, he took the Blood Origin Pill that had just been refined and attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Two months later, a Foundation Establishment aura emanated from Tian Yuan.
Then, he opened his eyes, took out the corpses of the dozen or so Devil Cultivator Devil Cultivator he had killed two months ago, and used the Blood Refining Technique to refine a pill from those corpses.
With the help of this elixir, his cultivation level was rapidly consolidated.
On this day, he opened his eyes and waved his hand to take out hundreds of Soul Gathering Bottle and a piece of Demon Beast skin.
Those hundred Soul Gathering Bottle contained the souls of nearly 100,000 mortals and 70 or 80 Qi Refining cultivators that he had killed some time ago.
That Demon Beast hide belonged to a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, which he had purchased several years ago in Heaven River County.
"The Thousand Ghost Banner, crafted from these souls and the hides of Demon Beast, will undoubtedly be extremely powerful."
"At that time, it will be impossible for me to rely on this banner to restore my master's former power."
