Fang Zelin casually waved his hand, and the bamboo scroll flew in front of him, slowly unfolding to reveal a picture.

In the scene, countless Devil Race flew out of their territory and then scattered in all directions.

Behind these Devil Race followed countless Demon Race.

As the scene shifts, these Devil Race scatter and then lie dormant within the dynasty, while other Demon Race begin to bewitch people.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Devil Race had also come to explore the old site of Jade Void Mountain.

Judging from this situation, it seems that these Devil Race are still searching for the location of the immortal sect, and there are other powerful Devil Race among them.

Fang Zelin frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

"Judging from this, we've imprisoned those powerful Devil Race, and although they haven't discovered it, they've sensed something is amiss."

There were already a group of highly skilled Devil Cultivator who emerged, and now they're sending out some obviously low-level Devil Cultivator.

It seems that this has aroused suspicion.

"It seems that the demon race has lost the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune Devil Race, and is now anxious because their cultivation is not going smoothly."

Seeing this, Yunzi immediately realized what was happening and probably guessed the situation on the Devil Race side as well.

Hearing this, Fang Zelin thought about it for a moment and also felt it was very likely.

"What should we do now? The Devil Race have already begun to take notice of the Human Race dynasties, and they probably won't care about anything else anymore."

I originally wanted to delay a little longer, but now it seems like there's no time left to delay.

Yunzi knew that Fang Zelin had previously hoped to delay the matter as much as possible.

"Well, fortunately, the Devil Race who came out were all juniors, so sending a few disciples should be enough to handle them."

Fang Zelin nodded in agreement.

If these younger Devil Race are dealt with properly, it shouldn't cause too much of a commotion.

It's all just a fight between the younger generation. Even if all the younger Devil Race are defeated, when the news reaches the Devil Race lands, the old Devil Cultivator probably won't care too much.

At most, they would just hurl a few curses, thinking that these younger Devil Cultivator were a disgrace to them.

"There are also quite a few Demon Race, so we need more cultivators to go down the mountain. Consider it as training for these disciples."

Fang Zelin hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard the disciples of Dinggui Mountain cup their hands in greeting.

"Immortal Master, we have learned of this news too late. The mortal realm is now overrun with Demon Race, and Demon Race have even seized the land of a dynasty, bewitching people and launching wars, intending to swallow up all other dynasties."

"Now that dynasty has the aid of demons, it is invincible on the field, defeating other dynasties one after another. Only the Shang Dynasty and the Great Yu State remain."

Fang Zelin was taken aback by these words, then frowned.

"How come we only found out about this after it had all happened?"

Weren't there previously disciples in charge of surveillance, monitoring the mortal realm?

In addition, Fang Zelin had instructed his disciples to patrol the mortal realm, lest demons take advantage of the situation to infiltrate.

Upon hearing Fang Zelin's words, the disciple in front of him immediately became somewhat uneasy.

He was naturally aware of this matter.

After all, this matter is still on display in the main hall, and the disciples patrolling the mortal realm can earn points from it.

"Immortal Master, you may not know, but this matter is actually somewhat coincidental. The disciple who was patrolling the mortal realm was passing by the area where the Devil Race was previously wiped out on his way back, and he was delayed by chatting with the disciple stationed there."

"The Immortal Master may not know this yet, but once you accept this mission, you no longer need to accept any more. No other disciples will be sent out until these disciples return to hand over their duties."

"The disciples in charge of the censors, having expended considerable magical Law Power suppressing Devil Cultivator, are currently cultivating to recover their Law Power, thus their oversight of the mortal realm has been somewhat relaxed."

So this whole thing was actually the result of a series of coincidences.

Fang Zelin sighed upon hearing this. Although it was a coincidence, it seemed no wonder the disciples looked like that.

But it was ultimately due to the negligence of these disciples that countless people in the mortal realm died or were injured.

Therefore, these disciples also need to be punished.

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin said, "No matter what, negligence is negligence, and because of this negligence, countless people in the mortal world have died or been injured."

"The world is in chaos now, with war raging everywhere. You all deserve to be punished for such a disorderly situation."

"This disciple is willing to accept punishment."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Dinggui Mountain breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that it was because of their inadequate supervision that the people were suffering so much.

After such a serious incident, it would be inexcusable if no one were punished.

"Well, you can decide on your own sect leaders how to punish them. I won't interfere further; I'm sure you fellow cultivators won't show favoritism."

Since they were all like-minded people, Fang Zelin naturally trusted these sect leaders.

Upon hearing this, the disciple from Dinggui Mountain responded and, seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, withdrew.

After leaving Yingping Peak, there were already quite a few disciples waiting for them.

At this moment, these disciples all looked somewhat flustered, as they had caused trouble earlier and failed to scout the surroundings in time.

They bear an undeniable responsibility for causing the current chaos in the world.

"Well, what did the Immortal Master say?"

Upon seeing the fellow Fellow Daoist Fang return, the disciple beside him quickly asked a question.

When she asked the question, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"The Immortal Master said that we are responsible for this matter and should seek punishment from our Sect Leader. The Immortal Master means that the Sect Leader should decide on the punishment."

At this point, the disciples of Dinggui Mountain also relaxed slightly.

They were disciples of the Daoist Sect, so they naturally knew the rules and regulations of their own sect.

The reason I came to Immortal Elder Fang to apologize is because I was worried that he might punish me in other ways.

If the immortal master intends to punish them, the sect leader will not plead for them.

This is due to the prestige of Immortal Elder Fang.

Moreover, the task of patrolling the mortal realm was originally requested by Immortal Elder Fang.

Now that they have failed to do what Immortal Elder Fang asked of them, they must go to the Immortal Master to accept their punishment.

I originally thought that having committed such a serious crime, I might very well have my cultivation abolished.

Fortunately, Immortal Elder Fang did not do that.

Even so.

The group of disciples breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and then immediately returned to the mountain to prepare to accept their punishment.

They all knew that even their own sect would not be treated leniently.

However, in comparison, they could accept these punishments as long as they didn't cripple their cultivation or expel them from the sect.

Seeing his disciples leave one after another, Fang Zelin didn't say anything more at this point.

Instead, he looked at the bamboo slips left behind by the other party, and seeing the chaotic battle between demons depicted on them, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

To be fair, the disciples can't be entirely blamed for this.

Because these Devil Cultivator had previously acted in a very secretive manner.

Furthermore, they moved extremely quickly.

After gaining control of several dynasties, he immediately launched a military campaign against the surrounding dynasties, attempting to conquer them all.

Perhaps because it was suspected that the Immortal Sect was located within the Shang Dynasty, the several dynasties that were controlled were all located around the Shang Dynasty.

After these dynasties went to war, they were aided by demons and monsters, and their advance was unstoppable.

In a short time, countless dynastic territories fell to the enemy.

Faced with these demons, even the elite soldiers of various dynasties were completely powerless to resist.

After all, those demons could easily slaughter large numbers of soldiers with a single move.

A simple Law Technique could render these soldiers ineffective, so their rout was to be expected.

Therefore, these dynasties were successively annexed in a short period of time.

Now, only the Shang Dynasty and Great Yu remain.

"We must send the disciples of the immortal sects down the mountain to assist the Shang Dynasty and Great Yu as soon as possible, otherwise, all the dynasties in the mortal realm will be destroyed."

"If our fortune is taken away then, even if we go to intercept it, it will be a very troublesome situation."

Yunzi, who was sitting to the side, also saw what was happening in front of her, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed slightly.

The situation was too complicated; the soldiers in the mortal realm were no match for these demons.

Now, the only option is to send the disciples down the mountain as soon as possible.

Fang Zelin nodded, then stood up and said, "Let's summon the other sect leaders to discuss this matter and send disciples down the mountain."

After saying that, Fang Zelin spread his palm, and a wisp of profound spiritual energy emanated from it, which then condensed into a compass.

Fang Zelin tapped the compass, and soon several streams of Spiritual Power flew out.

However, a short while later, the leaders of Dinggui Mountain, Jade Void Mountain, Jade Willow Mountain, and other sects all arrived.

They were practicing in the nearby mountains, so their journey here was naturally quick.

After all the sect leaders arrived, they immediately took their seats.

They actually knew what had happened before they arrived.

"I'm sure you all know what happened, so I won't waste any more time on small talk."

Fang Zelin, seeing that all the sect leaders had arrived, then spoke up, "The situation is urgent. In my opinion, we should immediately send fifth and sixth generation disciples down the mountain. What do you all think?"

The current fifth and sixth generation disciples have all achieved some level of spiritual attainment through cultivation.

The disciples above them, though highly skilled, were few in number, and most were demonic cultivators guarding Devil Cultivator Law Treasure.

They won't make a move easily.

Only if a powerful Devil Cultivator appears will it be their turn to make a move.

Hearing this, Yunzi nodded first, then looked at the other sect leaders.

The other sect leaders were equally unambiguous, saying, "Since Senior Fang has made his decision, then we will certainly do as he says."

"Using fifth or sixth generation disciples to handle this would work, since these disciples have sufficiently high levels of cultivation."

"Bringing along the magical Law Treasure you've recently crafted shouldn't be a problem."

At this moment, all the sect leaders nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin nodded, "In that case, let's eliminate these demons who have shown themselves first, and the rest of the disciples can act when the opportunity arises."

In just a few words, the matter was settled.

Immediately, decrees were issued one after another. The disciples who received the decrees stood up and carefully read the decrees issued by the sect leader. They then immediately summoned all the fifth and sixth generation disciples.

After they all gathered together, they briefly explained the situation and then quickly formed a spell.

The next moment, a series of sword cries rang out as the flying swords were launched.

The disciples dared not delay and immediately took to their swords, breaking through the clouds and flying towards the battlefield where the two armies were clashing.

They all knew the situation was urgent, so they hurried to fly there and tried their best to save as many people as possible.

Pingshan Ridge.

This place is already within the territory of the Shang Dynasty. After fighting against the demons, the Shang Dynasty suffered repeated defeats.

Now, they have retreated directly to this place.

Among the countless military tents, besides the fluttering banners of the Shang Dynasty, there were also the banners of Great Yu.

This is because the Shang Dynasty was defeated by demons and sought help from Great Yu.

Great Yu originally did not want to send troops, but the demons came with great force, and after destroying the Shang Dynasty, he would definitely attack them.

Therefore, in the end, Great Yu still sent out troops.

Moreover, the current situation is not too bad, as the battlefield is in the Shang Dynasty. If it were within the territory of their Great Yu, the situation would be much worse.

Inside the camp, the two commanders-in-chief were already sitting facing each other, talking.

Each person sitting below them was a general or commander on their own side.

In normal times, if both sides form an alliance and send troops, with each general fighting independently, it would actually be a very bad situation.

Without unified command, problems can easily arise.

However, the current situation is different, and such a problem no longer exists.

Since the enemy is a demon, when the demon rushes up, there is actually no need for any command; just being able to hold them off is enough.

The truth is, it was impossible to stop it at all.

At this moment, all military formations, strategies, calculations, and tactics are useless.

If it weren't for the fact that these soldiers' families were behind them, these soldiers would have already mutinied.

It's common knowledge that demons eat people, and no one thinks they can escape with their lives.

"What should we do now? We've tried so many methods, but nothing works. Although there are some spirits like the City God in the city, they can't stop us."

The head coach, standing to the side, frowned as he spoke of this, his face full of bitterness.

After fighting for so long, they've been retreating step by step.

Now, I really don't know how to play anymore.

Judging from this, defeat is inevitable.

After hearing what the other party said, Commander-in-Chief Great Yu thought about it and still had some lingering hope.

"Previously, I heard that there were many immortals in the land of the Shang Dynasty, and the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, the Great Qian, was even related to immortals. How come there is not even a trace of immortals now?"

"Did you send soldiers to search? Surely the gods wouldn't just ignore our plight?"

Now, perhaps only the gods can save them?

If there are no gods among them, then no matter how much they try to stop it, it will be of no use.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Shang Dynasty generals all darkened slightly.

How could the immortals not have gone to look for them?

In fact, at the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, countless people were sent out to search for the immortals.

But to this day, there has been no news.

In addition, the city's City God has also been searched, but there is still no news.

The City God, whom they had always avoided, was only revealed through divine intervention; there was no information about the whereabouts of any immortal.

Even the City God doesn't know, so where are they supposed to find him?
