The Battle: The Situation Stabilizes

Soon, only Li Yunjing, Fang Hexuan, and Nangong Chengyu remained in the main hall.

"Master, please issue the order immediately: the entire sect is on high alert." Li Yunjing's tone was icy. "All disciples, cease cultivation and proceed to your combat posts."

Alchemist are working diligently to refine healing pills, while weapon refiners are working hard to repair Law Treasure.

"Okay!" Nangong Chengyu nodded in agreement, then quickly left.

After Nangong Chengyu left, Fang Hexuan looked at Li Yunjing.

"Yunjing, you're already at the Late Spirit Transformation. With me by your side, dealing with the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge would be more than enough. Why are you being so conservative?" Fang Hexuan asked, puzzled.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "I plan to wipe out all the demon kings of Flying Dragon Ridge in one fell swoop."

First, we deliberately feigned weakness so that the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge would think that my Luozhen Sect was not strong enough, and thus send out their entire forces.

"When that time comes, it will be our turn to make a move."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Fang Hexuan's eyes.

The idea of playing dumb to outsmart others will never go out of style.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with Li Yunjing's actions. As mentioned before, Flying Dragon Ridge has a complex terrain and was once the lair of a demon king in the Return to Origin Realm.

If those Demon Race were to remain holed up in Flying Dragon Ridge, it would be difficult for the Luozhen Sect to make a move.

"Grandmaster Fang, I'd like to trouble you to oversee the battle." At this moment, Li Yunjing said to Fang Hexuan.

Fang Hexuan nodded in agreement and then left the main hall.

Li Yunjing walked to the entrance of the main hall and looked up at the northern sky.

"Crimson Sun Jiao King, don't back down at the last minute," Li Yunjing muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Just then, a streak of azure light streaked across the sky and landed in front of Li Yunjing.

As the light faded, the enormous body of the Alligator Dragon was revealed. It was covered in blood and its breathing was somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that it had just been through a battle.

"Alligator Dragon, you're back." Li Yunjing asked hurriedly, "How did it go?"

"Sect Master, rest assured, the situation has stabilized." Azure Jiao's expression relaxed slightly as he said, "The force that attacked Node Three this time was only the vanguard of Flying Dragon Ridge; the main force is still behind."

"I just went to the border of Flying Dragon Ridge to investigate and found that the Crimson Sun Jiao King has united with the eight surrounding Demon Race tribes and gathered hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts and tens of thousands of Demon Race cultivators."

There are at least twelve demon kings at the Spirit Concentration Realm, and I can even vaguely sense the aura of a demon king at the Return to Origin Realm.

At this point, the Alligator Dragon's expression turned serious.

"A demon king of the Return to Origin Realm?" Li Yunjing's expression became even more serious.

He originally thought that the Crimson Sun Jiao King could only summon Spirit Concentration Realm demon king at most, but he didn't expect that he could also summon Return to Origin Realm demon king.

The Return to Origin Realm is equivalent to the Dao Union Realm in the human race, and its strength should not be underestimated.

"Yes." Alligator Dragon nodded and said, "Among the demon kings in the Spirit Transformation Realm, besides the Crimson Sun Jiao King, there are also the Golden-Winged Great Peng King and the Red-Banded Snake King."

These two demon kings are no less powerful than the Crimson Sun Jiao King.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng King is extremely fast and excels at surprise attacks; the Red-Banded Snake King is highly venomous and difficult to defend against. The three of them working together are incredibly powerful.

"Moreover, they came prepared this time," the Alligator Dragon continued. "I discovered that they brought many Law Treasure specifically designed to counter earth vein arrays, as well as some poisonous creatures capable of breaking water-attribute restrictions. Clearly, they had already studied our defense system."

Li Yunjing's brows furrowed even more.

It seems that the Crimson Sun Jiao King has been preparing for this attack for a long time.

"By the way, how's Fang Tong doing?" Li Yunjing asked.

"Elder Fang has arrived at Node Three and is currently engaged in fierce combat with the Demon Race race," the Alligator Dragon said.

" With Elder Fang's assistance, the situation at Node Three has stabilized. When I left, the Demon Race was being driven out of Node Three."

"Okay, that's good." Li Yunjing said.

After talking with the Alligator Dragon for a while, the Alligator Dragon then planned to leave and return to node three.

Watching the Alligator Dragon's departing figure, Li Yunjing felt a surge of emotions.

After the Alligator Dragon submitted to the Luozhen Sect, it truly devoted itself to the cause.

"Fire Dragon, it's your turn to make a move." At this moment, Li Yunjing said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing red light shot up from the depths of the Grotto-Heaven, and the enormous body of the Fire Dragon appeared in the sky.

He raised his head and let out a deafening dragon roar, the blazing flames turning half the sky red.

"Sect Master, what are your orders?" The Fire Dragon's voice, like a booming bell, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Fire Dragon, go and guard the No. 1 ley line node," Li Yunjing said. "The No. 1 node is the core of our defense line; it absolutely cannot fall."

"Understood!" The Fire Dragon nodded, twisted its body, and flew towards node number one.

With the arrival of various support forces, the situation on all defense lines has stabilized considerably.

Messages were also relayed back to Li Yunjing from various nodes.

Through this information, Li Yunjing knew that the current situation was very stable.

Everything is proceeding according to Li Yunjing's plan.

The disciples of the Luozhen Sect are training under these circumstances, while the Demon Race, unable to break through after a prolonged siege, is currently increasing their support.

Soon, the Demon Race of Flying Dragon Ridge may become restless and swarm out. At that time, this farce will come to an end.

Li Yunjing returned to the Luozhen Grand Hall, sat in the main seat, closed his eyes, and monitored the battle situation across the entire region with the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal.

Especially the battle situation at node number three.

At this moment, the battle at node three finally ended, and the advance team of Flying Dragon Ridge was completely annihilated.

However, the Luozhen Sect also paid a considerable price.

More than half of the disciples stationed at node number three were killed or wounded, and Fang Tong also suffered minor injuries.

Fortunately, the Luozhen Sect has the Hall of Rebirth, where deceased disciples can be resurrected.

The injured disciples also recovered quickly under the treatment of the Alchemist team led by Ding Qifeng.

At this moment, Li Yunjing summoned the disciples who were guarding outside the main hall.

"Pass down the order: immediately repair the defensive array at node number three and replenish the garrison disciples," Li Yunjing commanded.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The following day, the entire Luozhen Sect was in a tense state of preparation for war.

Under the elder's guidance, the disciples reinforced the defenses and set up traps and formations.

Alchemy Chamber, the furnace roared, and countless healing pills were being refined and continuously sent to various nodes.

Inside the weapon-forging room, the clanging and hammering sounds were incessant as damaged Law Treasure were rapidly repaired, and new weapons and armor were being forged at an accelerated pace.

Li Yunjing was stationed in the Luozhen Grand Hall, constantly monitoring the situation within the entire earth vein network.

He could clearly sense that a vast and malevolent aura was rapidly approaching from the direction of Flying Dragon Ridge.

That aura contained the oppressive power of three Spirit Transformation Demon Kings, as well as the ferocious energy of hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts, causing the entire world to change color.

Just as the Alligator Dragon said, there is a power even stronger than the Spirit Concentration Realm.

As night fell, Azure Jiao Marsh, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

A strong stench of blood and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

Luozhen Grand Hall, the lights were on full display.

Li Yunjing stood at the entrance of the main hall, gazing at the dark night sky to the north.

"After this battle, it's time to upgrade the sect's buildings," Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
