The members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance gazed at the distant, Holy Mother Wusheng, their breathing quickening and their hearts heavy with suppressed emotions.

That damned Black Lotus Sect actually has a Golden Core Realm expert!

Now, the two sides seem to have returned to the same level.

Chen Changming's cultivation level was low, and his flight was slow. He was behind many cultivators of the Demon-Slaying Alliance. As he watched the Holy Mother Wusheng emerge from the Demonic Qi Well, his mood became even calmer.

Everything went pretty much as he predicted.

This also shows that the current situation has not yet slipped out of his control.

"Junior Brother's prediction was incredibly accurate."

Staring at the Holy Mother Wusheng, Luo Lan's pupils contracted sharply, and he admired his junior brother even more.

Shangguan Xiong, his face grim, slowly flew over and coldly said, "Holy Mother Wusheng, your schemes are quite cunning. You dare to set a trap for me, Golden Core Immortal from the Great Qin? Have you considered the consequences?"

"The consequences? I'll bear them all."

The Holy Mother Wusheng removed her veil, looked at Shangguan Xiong in the distance, and said with a faint smile, "Shangguan Xiong, don't you recognize me?"

"It's you, Shangguan Wan'er?"

Upon seeing the true face of the Holy Mother Wusheng, Shangguan Xiong changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes revealed a look of terror.

"You... you weren't dead?"

He exclaimed in disbelief.

"Heh, Shangguan Wan'er is dead, but the Holy Mother Wusheng lives on."

Tears welled in the eyes of the Immortal Mother, who was consumed by boundless rage. She said bitterly, "You framed my entire family back then, and now I'll frame you, causing your illustrious Qin Dynasty Golden Elixir Immortal to perish in this godforsaken Chu Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiong's breathing became rapid.

He deeply felt Shangguan Wan'er's hatred; this was a situation of no return.

"Shangguan Wan'er, you're insane!"

Shangguan Xiong's emotions surged, and he actually launched an attack on the Holy Mother Wusheng.

"Kill all members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance!"

With a wave of her hand, the Holy Mother Wusheng coldly and ruthlessly issued her command.

"Kill!" Infected by the emotions of the Holy Mother Wusheng, the members of the Black Lotus Sect, burning with rage, commanded their Demon Beast to attack the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

The many cultivators of the Demon-Slaying Alliance knew that this battle was a do-or-die situation, a fight to the death with no other choice, and they roared as they charged forward.

Two mighty torrents met in mid-air, unleashing an unimaginable battle to the death!

"Well."

Chen Changming sighed. This kind of chaotic battle was the last thing he wanted to see, but at this moment he could only be extra careful and try his best to survive without revealing his strength.

Boom boom...

Various kinds of light beams shuttled through the air, extremely dense.

Demonic Demon Beast and cultivators continued to fall, plummeting from mid-air, their blood splattering across the void.

The two Golden Core cultivators, Holy Mother Wusheng and Shangguan Xiong, seemed unwilling to let the aftershocks of the battle harm both sides, so they actually moved away from the main battlefield and engaged in fierce combat above a valley.

Luo Lan was quite strong, and he kept his junior brother's instructions in mind, so he did not go all out and remained vigilant at all times. As a result, he was completely unharmed after the battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

This large-scale battle lasted for an hour, during which the Demon-Slaying Alliance was reduced from more than three thousand to one thousand, a loss of two-thirds.

The Black Lotus Sect also paid a heavy price.

at the same time.

The two powerful Golden Core cultivators, Shangguan Xiong and the Holy Mother Wusheng, fought to a standstill, and both suffered minor injuries.

I'll take your life tomorrow!

Shangguan Xiong retreated a thousand feet, a thought of retreating arising in his mind.

"Alright."

The Holy Mother Wusheng nodded slightly.

She had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, and it was already quite astonishing that she could fight Shangguan Xiong to a draw.

She wanted to kill Shangguan Xiong.

However, it is almost impossible to achieve at present, and similarly, Shangguan Xiong cannot kill her.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

Therefore, unless one person achieves a breakthrough in combat power, it will be impossible to defeat and kill the opponent.

The Holy Mother Wusheng transformed into a streak of black light and flew into the Demonic Qi Well, simultaneously issuing the order to retreat.

Shangguan Xiong also turned and flew away, taking the rest of the Demon-Slaying Alliance with him.

He flew with everyone to the outer edge of the Demonic Qi formation, where he finally stopped.

Shangguan Xiong glanced at the crowd and noticed that many of them looked unwell, as if they had been invaded by Demonic Qi.

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen array flags fell, forming a Defense Array. Then he threw out a few more array flags, which formed a small Four Symbols Array within the Defense Array.

Four Symbols Array Formation was activated, it extinguished the Demonic Qi within the formation.

"Those who are injured, enter this formation and eradicate the Demonic Qi within your bodies."

Shangguan Xiong gave the order.

"Leader, we suffered heavy losses in this battle."

The Vice Alliance Leader of the Azure Dragon Division lowered his head and spoke with a pained expression.

Shangguan Xiong frowned and said, "I understand, so from this moment on, we will be stationed here and remain on guard. Once I, the Alliance Leader, have fully refined the Four Symbols Seal and killed the Holy Mother Wusheng, we can escape."

Upon hearing that the alliance leader had a backup plan, the four Vice Alliance Leader were overjoyed.

Next.

Under the arrangement of the four Vice Alliance Leader, the personnel of each department carved cave abode into the mountainside themselves as temporary places to rest and recuperate.

Luo Lan dug a cave abode, which was right next to Chen Changming's cave abode.

Now, only she, the Hall Master, and her junior brother remain in the Breeze Hall; everyone else has perished in battle.

Upon entering Chen Changming's cave abode, Luo Lan set up a small Isolation Formation for him.

This formation can only block Divine Sense detection, not the invasion of Demonic Qi.

Chen Changming watched as his Senior Sister finished setting up the Isolation Formation, then lowered his voice and asked, "Senior Sister, how long do you think it will take the Alliance Leader to finish refining the Four Symbols Seal?"

"It's said that Golden Core cultivators all use Law Treasure. This Four Symbols Seal should be quite powerful. It will probably take quite a while to refine it, at least one or two years, and possibly three to five years!"

Luo Lan thought for a moment and then said.

Chen Changming nodded. "Alright, it'll be good for my cultivation."

"Junior brother, you should focus on your cultivation. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll also make the most of my time recently to see if I can achieve a breakthrough before the Alliance Leader completes the Four Symbols Seal."

Luo Lan smiled and turned to leave.

Chen Changming closed the door and entered the Isolation Formation. Instead of cultivating, he fell into deep thought.

In today's battle, these two Golden Core cultivators only suffered minor injuries, indicating that they were both testing each other and felt they couldn't kill each other, which is why they stopped fighting.

Since Shangguan Xiong was able to refine the Four Symbols Seal, the Holy Mother Wusheng must also have a backup plan.

Remembering that the Holy Mother Wusheng had been coming and going from inside the Demonic Qi Well, seemingly having made it her home, Chen Changming instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

Since this Demonic Qi Well could help the Holy Mother Wusheng become Golden Core cultivator, it can probably also help her refine some kind of treasure.

Therefore, it remains to be seen who will ultimately prevail between Shangguan Xiong and the Holy Mother Wusheng.

For now, all he can do is cultivate silently, strive to improve his cultivation level, and wait for an opportunity.

A phantom Heavenly Furnace appeared beside him, spewing forth purple flames that easily burned away the Demonic Qi.

Chen Changming focused his mind and began practicing the Heavenly Furnace Body-Forging Art.

If he could break through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in his Body Cultivator cultivation on the eve of the decisive battle between the two Golden Core Realm cultivators, then his chances of killing the Holy Mother Wusheng would be even greater!
