The Purple Moon County Battle Situation Was Perilous
Jing Province is one of the four states under the Hundred Spirits Sect. The other three states are Ning Province, Jiao Province, and Yuan Province.
Jing Province contains five commanderies: Huai River County, Cloudwater County, Peaceful County, Heaven River County, and Purple Moon County.
Ling Pengyun and the others all agreed to this proposal.
With everyone in agreement, they immediately set off to help the four Foundation Establishment Family in Cloudwater County and kill the Purple Star Demon Wolf within their Lineage's territory.
Ling Pengyun and his group were powerful, and the Purple Star Demon Wolf they encountered had no ability to resist, so they were killed by the group's combined efforts.
More and more Foundation Establishment Cultivator are joining their counterattack.
As the snowball grew larger and larger, in just three days, the entire pack of Purple Star Demon Wolf in Cloudwater County was wiped out by Ling Pengyun and the others.
The number of cultivators in Ling Pengyun's counterattack team also increased by four, bringing the total number of Foundation Establishment warriors to ten.
If it weren't for Yang Siqi, the alchemy genius of the Pill Refining Peace Cloud Yang Clan who had just entered the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, and Ling Pengxing of the Ling Clan, who were left behind by everyone to oversee Cloudwater County and Huai River County.
Otherwise, the counter-offensive team could have two more Foundation Establishment fighters.
After clearing out the Demon Beast in Cloudwater County, everyone headed towards Peaceful County, which was next to Cloudwater County.
What no one expected was that the six established Foundation Establishment Family of Peaceful County and the seven Purple Star Wolf packs that invaded Qingping Market Town were all incredibly powerful.
Not only do they all have a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Purple Star Wolf Demon, but each large wolf pack also has no fewer than five Foundation Establishment Wolf Demons.
Unfortunately, this pack of wolf demons encountered ten Foundation Establishment Cultivator had gathered from Huai River County and Pingyun County.
Even if those wolves were strong, they were all killed by Ling Pengyun and the other ten Foundation Establishment Cultivator in a one-on-one fight.
The six major Lineage of Peaceful County, as well as the Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed in Qingping Market Town, all managed to escape.
This county is an old county town, which has been developed by the Hundred Spirits Sect for nearly a thousand years.
Therefore, the six major Lineage in Peaceful County are all quite powerful, and each has several Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
At this time, all six families have Foundation Establishment Cultivator remaining in their clans.
In particular, the strongest family in Peaceful County, the "Moon Shadow" Feng Clan, has two Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed in the Lineage.
Therefore, apart from one of the two Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Feng Clan who remained in Peaceful County.
The other six Foundation Establishment from the six major Lineage, as well as the two Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect stationed in Qingping Market Town, also joined Ling Pengyun and the others in their counterattack.
In this way, the number of Foundation Establishment fighters in the counterattack team has increased to as many as sixteen.
Five days later, the counter-offensive force, relying on the powerful combat strength of sixteen Foundation Establishment Cultivator, launched an attack.
In addition, they wiped out the Demon Beast groups in their respective prefectures with incredible speed and without leaking any information, and still managed to wipe out the Purple Star Wolf Demon clan that had invaded Heaven River County with great success.
Ten Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the seven Foundation Establishment Family of Heaven River County and the eight major forces of Tianhe Market also joined the counterattack.
Among these ten Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Purple Moon Mountain Jiang Clan, the strongest in Heaven River County, produced two Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment also left one of them to guard Heaven River County.
The other six major Lineage each produced one Foundation Establishment, and Tianhe Market also produced two Foundation Establishment.
As a result, the number of Foundation Establishment members in the counter-offensive team reached as many as twenty-six.
Just as these twenty-six Foundation Establishment warriors were in high spirits and were preparing to wipe out the Purple Star Demon Wolf clan, who had invaded the last county of Jing Province, "Purple Moon County," an unexpected incident occurred.
They had just entered the territory of Purple Moon County and intended to prioritize helping the nearest "Fuyang Zhang Clan" to wipe out the wolf demons in their territory, but they came up empty-handed.
Not only that, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were originally stationed in the Zhang Clan Lineage are gone, but there are also very few Qi Refining cultivators left in the Zhang Lineage mountain, with only a few elderly Qi Refining cultivators remaining to guard it.
However, everyone also learned from a Qi Training Stage elder of the Zhang Clan Fuyang Zhang Clan who remained in the clan that the eight Purple Star Demon Wolf that had invaded the Zhang Clan and even the entire Purple Moon County had temporarily stopped attacking forces in various parts of Purple Moon County.
Furthermore, just two days ago, under the call of the strongest pair of Foundation Establishment Completion Purple Star Demon Wolf who invaded Purple Moon County, they first destroyed Purple Moon Market Town.
They then converged on a First Rank Spirit Vein within the Feng family's territory in "Fengxi" and attacked the Feng clan.
As a result, the two Foundation Establishment from the Fuyang Zhang Clan received a request for help from the Feng family of Fengxi and went to assist them.
As for the remaining Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhang Clan, they all took advantage of the wolf pack's attack on the Feng clan's territory in Fengxi to flee the Zhang Clan.
Upon learning this news, the twenty-six Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the counterattack team all turned grim.
"It seems that the two Foundation Establishment Completion Purple Star Demon Wolf that invaded Purple Moon County were aware that we had already wiped out the Demon Beast of the four counties of Huai River, Yun River, Qingping, and Tianhe."
"Those two Consummation Realm Purple Star Demon Wolf at the Foundation Establishment stage are indeed worthy of having Golden Core bloodlines. They were able to react so quickly, so their intelligence must be quite high."
"However, I didn't expect that even with our speed, we would still be discovered."
The initiator of the counterattack, Yue Shan, Body Cultivator with the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment and originally stationed in Cloudwater Market Town, sighed helplessly.
Indeed, the pair of Purple Star Wolf Demons who invaded Purple Moon County, both at the Foundation Establishment Consummation Realm, not only possessed high cultivation levels, but the male wolf was also a direct descendant of a Golden Core Purple Star Demon Wolf.
It can be considered a purebred "Little Wolf King".
This Little Wolf King was also entrusted with an important task by his father, serving as the leader of the Purple Star Demon Wolf clan that invaded the entire Jing Province territory.
Before invading Jing Province, it instructed its Foundation Establishment wolf demons to report the battle situation to it every five days.
Ten days have passed, but there has been no news of the wolf pack that invaded the Huai River and Yun River counties of Jing Province.
Five days have passed without any news from the wolf pack that invaded Peaceful County, as if the wolf pack that invaded these three counties had simply vanished.
This made the Little Wolf King, whose intelligence was no less than that of an ordinary cultivator, wary.
Concerned about the potential dangers to the wolf packs in Huai River, Yun River, and Qingping counties, the Little Wolf King, upon realizing something was amiss, immediately gathered all eight wolf packs that had invaded Purple Moon County and launched a campaign to wipe out Purple Moon Market Town.
The two Foundation Establishment from the Hundred Spirits Sect stationed in this market were killed.
Subsequently, they attacked the Fengxi Feng Clan, the second greatest threat to Purple Moon County.
The Little Wolf King did this to prevent powerful cultivators in Jing Province from helping to defeat the eight wolf packs of Purple Moon County one by one.
At the same time, the Little Wolf King also dispatched three Foundation Establishment Wolf Demons to the three counties of Huai River, Yun River, and Qingping to scout out the situation.
As for the Little Wolf King was overseeing the entire Jing Province, and his Daoist partner, the wolf demon who had reached the Foundation Establishment Completion, they would appear together in Purple Moon County.
This is also because the eight Foundation Establishment Family of Purple Moon County are extremely powerful, and each of them has more than two Foundation Establishment Cultivator left in the clan.
Moreover, they are all established Foundation Establishment Family with a history of at least five hundred years, and there are many Qi Refining family members among them.
In particular, the Feng family of Phoenix Stream Mountain, the strongest family in Purple Moon County, has a Guardian Spirit Beast called "Fire Cloud Phoenix" with a cultivation Consummation Realm of Foundation Establishment.
In addition, the Feng family has three cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment remaining in the clan.
Under such circumstances, how could the Purple Star Demon Wolf clan dare to underestimate Purple Moon County?
With his thoughts returning to normal, Yue Shan asked the Qi Training Stage Elder of the Zhang Clan standing before him.
"Elder Zhang, do you know how large the eight major groups of Purple Star Demon Wolf gathered in the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan are?"
"How many Foundation Establishment Cultivator are supporting the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan?"
This was also the question that the other twenty-five Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the counterattack team wanted to ask, and they immediately turned their gaze to the Qi Refining elder of the Fuyang Zhang Clan.
Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining Elder of the Zhang Clan trembled, revealing a hint of fear.
"According to the Communication Talisman sent by the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan two days ago, the number of Qi Refining wolf demons in the Eight Purple Star Demon Wolf Clan is as many as 10,000, and there are as many as 60 Foundation Establishment wolf demons among them."
"Among them, there are thirty-five in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, seventeen in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, eight in the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and the pair of wolf demons who Foundation Establishment Completion."
"The eight Foundation Establishment Family of my Purple Moon County, including the two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator stationed in Purple Moon Market Town, all gathered in the territory of the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan within two days. Otherwise, if the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan were destroyed, the rest of us would not have survived for long either."
"Currently, there should be nineteen Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan."
"Among them, the Feng Clan of Fengxi has three cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, while the other seven major Lineage each have two cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment."
"In addition, all eight clans of my Purple Moon County have a Foundation Establishment Realm Guardian Spirit Beast, which has also gone to participate in the war."
"However, apart from the Fire Cloud Phoenix of the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan, which is at the Foundation Establishment Completion, the Guardian Spirit Beast of the other seven clans are all only at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment stage."
"As a result, the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan now has a total of twenty-seven Foundation Establishment warriors."
"Esteemed seniors, our county is currently facing a crisis. The Higher Vehicle Second Rank High Grade clan protection sect of the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan has held out for two days under the siege of tens of thousands of Demon Beast. I'm afraid it won't last another day or two before the Feng family's formation is broken. Once that formation is broken..."
"The Foundation Establishment Cultivator of my Purple Moon County have lost their advantage; their fate is likely to be... death."
"I implore you seniors to help my Purple Moon County overcome this crisis."
"Afterwards, my Zhang Clan, and indeed the other seven families of Purple Moon County, will surely repay you with generous gifts."
The Purple Star Demon Wolf clan has been entrenched in the Boundless Great Swamp for thousands of years, with a population of tens of thousands. The Purple Star Demon Wolf clan that invaded Jing Province this time was only a small part of the clan.
Most of the Purple Star Demon Wolf were following the Purple Star Demon Wolf King, who was at the Golden Core Late Stage, in their siege of Serpent Dragon Lake.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the twenty-six Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the four prefectures of Huai River, Yun River, Qingping, and Tianhe trembled.
At least half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators had the thought of giving up the counterattack and heading back home.
Their counter-offensive team focused on speed, aiming to quickly defeat the Purple Star Wolves that had invaded various factions one by one.
However, now, the Purple Star Demon Wolf clan of Purple Moon County has all gathered in one place, and there are many Foundation Establishment Demon Beast among them.
In the past, the Purple Star Demon Wolf clan, which had been wiped out in the four prefectures of Huai River, Yun River, Qingping, and Tianhe, had always relied on the numerical advantage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator to easily and overwhelmingly eliminate them.
Currently, there are only 27 Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Purple Moon County, and with the addition of their counterattack team of 26 people, there are only 53 Foundation Establishment in total.
However, on the Demon Beast side, there were as many as sixty Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
Moreover, in Purple Moon County, only the Fire Cloud Phoenix, the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Fengxi Feng Clan, had reached the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment stage.
The remaining Foundation Establishment warriors are all only at the early or mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.
Most of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in their counterattack force were only at the early or mid-stages of Foundation Establishment.
There are only three cultivators who have reached the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment stage or have combat power: Yue Shan, Meng Yao and her husband, and Ling Pengyun.
They were already at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Before the battle even began, they were already at a disadvantage.
Yue Shan, the leader of the counter-offensive team, also had thoughts of retreating.
Fighting such a massive horde of Demon Beast, even for a Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Body Cultivator like him, there was a risk of being killed.
But then he remembered that his senior brother, Zhang Yan, the deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs, had personally begged Spirit Talisman True Person several times in order to improve his and his Daoist partner Meng Yao's status in the Spirit Talisman True Person faction and give them the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm.
This is how he and Meng Yao got the opportunity to stay in Cloudwater Market Town during the Beast Tide, and then had the chance to counterattack the invading Demon Beast in Jing Province, so as to establish great merit.
Unlike the other Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator of the Hundred Spirits Sect, who either went to Serpent Dragon Lake to guard it or stayed within the sect to guard it.
It's not bad to be stationed in these two positions; you might be able to make some profits, but it's difficult to establish great achievements.
Without great achievements, even with the promotion of his senior brother Zhang Yan, given his aptitude in Body Cultivator, he could only break through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer at most, and his position would be that of an elder in the Hall of Affairs.
However, if he establishes great merit and gains the favor of the Spirit Talisman True Person, who bestows upon him rare treasures to assist him, he has a real chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Completion.
He even took on the lucrative position of deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs, just like his senior brother.
With this thought, Yue Shan's desire to retreat vanished, and his eyes became resolute.
He glanced at the other twenty-five Foundation Establishment Cultivator around him and threatened them.
"Everyone, the counterattack order issued to me by my sect is to quickly eliminate the invading Demon Beast in various states, and then gather at my Hundred Spirits Sect's base to deal with the huge horde of Demon Beast besieging my Hundred Spirits Sect's base."
"Subsequently, by combining forces, we launched a counterattack to annihilate the Demon Beast in Serpent Dragon Lake."
"This matter is of great importance; it may even affect the survival of my Hundred Spirits Sect and your respective Lineage."
"Once the front-line Serpent Dragon Lake is destroyed, none of us will be able to escape."
"But if the counterattack succeeds, my Hundred Spirits Sect can gather at least a hundred Foundation Establishment across the four states."
"With these hundred Foundation Establishment going to Serpent Dragon Lake to provide support, we can't guarantee that we can hold Serpent Dragon Lake, but we can at least increase the probability of holding Serpent Dragon Lake by more than 30%."
"In this battle... we cannot retreat... we have no choice but to fight."
"Although we are at a disadvantage now, we cultivators have many methods. With the help of the array set up by the Spirit Vein, our strength is probably even stronger than the huge wolf pack that invaded the Phoenix Stream Feng Clan."
"If anyone is afraid and backs down, our sect will definitely investigate and hold them accountable afterward."
"The consequences of being pursued by our sect... you all understand."
This matter was obviously a hoax. This counterattack was just his idea, and he only intended to use the name of the Hundred Spirits Sect to force everyone to submit.
Of course, there is some truth to that.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yao, who was Yue Shan's Daoist partner, as well as Ouyang Qun, Li Xiang, and other disciples of the Hundred Spirits Sect who had been dispatched by the Hundred Spirits Sect to guard various markets, successively expressed their willingness to continue participating in the war.
These Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect are not stupid. They were able to stay in various markets during the Beast Tide because they were assigned by the higher-ups.
Naturally, Yue Shan had the same idea: to seize the opportunity of the counterattack to establish merit and take a gamble.
