In the Jianglan Tribe's residential area, the battle between the Demon-Slaying Sword and the four elite legions was also drawing to a close.
The fighting style of the Demon-Slaying Sword is exactly the same as A Huo's fighting habits; both like to exchange injury for life, or even risk their lives for each other.
On the battlefield, they are the sharpest swords; the four elite legions are simply unable to stop their advance and can only be pierced through by them repeatedly.
The four elite legions were like a lawn, being mowed down by the Demon-Slaying Sword. Although the Demon-Slaying Sword occasionally suffered injuries, it did not diminish the sharpness of the razor.
"Retreat! Move out!"
Upon hearing Lian Jiang Ji's order, the commanders of the four elite legions felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately chose to retreat without hesitation.
When they were first pierced by the Demon-Slaying Sword, not many of them died; some of the Demon-Slaying Sword's soldiers were even wounded.
But as the number of times they were pierced increased, they could only bleed passively, their morale plummeted, and eventually, every time the Demon-Slaying Sword pierced them, it would kill hundreds of members.
Now, less than half of the original three thousand remain. If they weren't so elite, they would have collapsed long ago.
After receiving the retreat order, the four elite legions displayed extremely high military skills, and in a short time they transformed into four torrents, splitting up and fleeing in different directions.
Besides the elite legion, the Jianglan Tribe also had tens of thousands of defensive troops. Seeing that the elite legion had fled, they dared not linger and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing for their lives.
"Chase them! Don't let a single soldier escape!"
At A Huo's command, the Demon-Slaying Sword immediately dispersed, transforming into hundreds of small teams that split up to pursue and kill the fleeing soldiers.
Meanwhile, the Five Elements Army recovered and, under Chen Rufeng's command, split into ten squads to complete the mission they had not finished before: assassinating high-ranking members and Lineage leaders in the Jianglan Tribe.
Jiang Ji ran away too fast. A Huo and Chen Duo chased after him for a short while before turning back.
"We can't let Jiang Kechang get away!"
Chen Duo had been keeping an eye on the leader of the Jianglan Tribe, and now that she had a moment to spare, she immediately chased after him.
Jiang Kechang, escorted by the remnants of the Jianglan Army, had already escaped to the outside of the tribe via a shortcut. Unfortunately, under the surveillance of Chen Duo's All-Terrain Detection System, his whereabouts were nowhere to be hidden.
Whoosh!
Relying on her mechanical wings, Chen Duo's speed was in no way inferior to that of the Core Formation Realm cultivator. In just a dozen breaths, she caught up with Jiang Kechang in the forest outside.
"Stop her!"
Jiang Kechang was terrified and ordered the remaining Jianglan Army to protect him while he fled for his life.
Unfortunately, it was useless. Jianglan Army only had a little over a hundred men left. Chen Duo flapped her wings, and countless tiny silver bullets flew out. The power of these silver bullets reached the Early Stage of the Core Formation Realm. In just two rounds of bombardment, the remnants of the Jianglan Army were almost wiped out.
Thump! Thump! Boom!
Jiang Kechang's personal guards were also beaten by Chen Duo one by one with a stick, spitting blood and flying backward. Finally, Chen Duo sealed Jiang Kechang's dantian, grabbed Jiang Kechang's neck, and took him back to the Jianglan Tribe.
Half an hour later, the entire Jianglan Tribe was awash in blood. All the soldiers were killed, and the tribe's high-ranking members who did not cooperate were also killed. Then it was the turn of the Shadow Guards to perform.
Gu Zi'an finally revealed himself. He had actually been secretly cooperating with the Five Elements Army's operations all along, playing a very important role.
He had planned to intervene when Chen Duo and the Five Elements Army were in danger, but A Huo arrived just in time, so he went into hiding again.
Since the Gu Lineage's downfall, his personality has changed drastically, and his methods have become increasingly ruthless, making him quite suitable to serve as the deputy commander of the Shadow Guards.
He came from a high-ranking position in one of the eight tribes and was very familiar with how they operated. Through a period of provocation and torture, he quickly learned many secrets of the Jianglan Tribe.
As the main base guarded by the Core Formation Realm ancestor, most of the Jianglan Tribe's wealth is hidden in its warehouses here.
Now, all this wealth has naturally become Chen Village's spoils of war.
Their plundering of wealth wasn't smooth sailing. The Jianglan Tribe had set up arrays and traps in many key locations, but with Chen Duo and A Huo there, they managed to force their way through without encountering any obstacles.
Some of the mechanisms and formations were too difficult for Chen Duo and his group to solve, so they simply destroyed them by brute force, trying their best not to leave any for the Jianglan Tribe.
Now that they were deep behind enemy lines, they dared not stay there for too long, lest the Jianglan Tribe, in desperation, resort to overwhelming force and use sheer numbers to annihilate them.
Two hours later, the people of Chen Village dug up the entire inner city of the Jianglan Tribe, leaving nothing of value behind.
Everyone's storage rings were crammed full, and even each person had a few items sparsely hanging on their person, including magical artifacts, weapons, gourds containing elixirs, and so on.
The most extreme among them were the people of the Demon-Slaying Sword. They were terrified of poverty on the battlefield of the Otherworldly Demon, where all the good resources were monopolized by the Otherworldly Demon, resulting in extreme resource shortages. Many times, they even had to worry about food.
Upon seeing so many spiritual materials, Spirit Stone, and weapons, they were like wolves that hadn't eaten for days, their eyes gleaming with greed, wishing they could take everything home.
However, only a few people possessed spatial magical artifacts. The others had no choice but to bind the spoils they had plundered to their bodies, making everyone's bodies bloated and unsightly.
A Huo didn't stop them. In this Wilderness place, there weren't many forces that could threaten them. He understood these people and simply let them be.
After the army had assembled, Chen Duo ordered someone to set fire to everything that couldn't be taken away.
Then the Five Elements Army and the Demon-Slaying Sword teams set off in a grand procession back to Chen Village.
Ancient Desolate Mining Area, New Residents District.
Chen Mu spent more than ten days creating Dispelling Rune that could penetrate the purple mist in the cultivation room.
The reason it took so long was that, in order to ensure that everything went perfectly, he made further improvements to the runes, merging multiple Dispelling Rune into Dispelling Formation Flag, and made a total of more than twenty Dispelling Formation Flag.
Besides dispelling the purple mist, the Dispelling Formation Flag can also be used to set up formations, making them more flexible and providing a means to deal with any unexpected situations encountered within the purple mist.
Alright! It's finally time to leave.
After Chen Mu finished making the Dispelling Formation Flag, he couldn't wait to go find Nangong Ya, intending to leave that very day.
"Alright! Young Master Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go and call everyone who's leaving over right now."
Nangong Ya had already made preparations and immediately summoned those who were going to leave with Chen Mu.
Nangong Tong would inevitably leave with Chen Mu, and the remaining people were mostly young people, with only one older middle-aged man named Lu Xinghai.
