The warships hummed as furious attacks poured into the region shrouded in gray mist. In an instant, many auras within were snuffed out.
Although the Filth Clan did not fear death and had initially used massive casualties to seize the advantageous terrain, times had changed. The Filth Clan was now busy arranging measures to stabilize the Insect Path and naturally had no desire to be disturbed by Jade Conch.
Counterattacks immediately came from within the gray mist. Cultivators below the Moon Jade Realm on both sides clashed across the void.
Such a battle was extremely advantageous for Jade Conch cultivators, since they could fight while darting about everywhere. It was highly disadvantageous for the Filth Clan, however. Though the area covered by the gray mist was not small, it had its limits, restricting their room to maneuver.
