Boundary Stele Barrier: The Du Household's True Objective

Call out!

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the "flying puppets" and the "Bloodlight Cuckoo" in the sky...

A slight, sharp sound suddenly rang out not far behind Kong Wenxuan, and another Second Tier Cuckoo Demon Race appeared, wearing a cloak-like demon artifact that allowed him to stealthily enter the border of "Peacock County" and approach Kong Wenxuan.

At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity when the "flying avian puppet" and the "Bloodlight Cuckoo" attracted everyone's attention, they launched a sneak attack on Kong Wenxuan, who was erecting a "Boundary Stele".

The Cuckoo Demon Race flapped its wings rapidly, swiftly pounced behind Kong Wenxuan, and spat out a beam of blood-red light—a bone cone shimmering with a blood-red demonic light, Second Tier demonic weapon forged from the bones of some unknown Demon Beast.

The attack was incredibly fast, stealthy, and extremely sharp. The surrounding blood-red light had a powerful corrosive and destructive effect. In the blink of an eye, it had already flown behind Kong Wenxuan and was about to pierce his body.

Buzz!

However, at this moment, the "Peacock County Boundary Stele" in front of Kong Wenxuan suddenly trembled and hummed, bursting out a large amount of Five-Colored Starlight and dark yellow light, which transformed into a barrier with Five-Colored Starlight as the sky and dark yellow light as the earth. It quickly expanded and enveloped Kong Wenxuan and his surroundings.

The blood-bone cone demon weapon that shot towards Kong Wenxuan's back fell into the "Boundary Stele Barrier" and immediately seemed to sink into a viscous water. Although it was not directly knocked down or suppressed, its speed was greatly reduced, and it could only move forward slowly.

"Hmph! I've been waiting for you!"

Kong Wenxuan snorted coldly, turned around and looked at the Cuckoo Demon Race that had suddenly appeared behind him, a sneer on his face.

As a long-time rival of the Du Household, Kong Wenxuan was well aware of the Du Household's methods and intentions. Perhaps due to the influence of the Du Household's Bloodline Divine Ability "The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest," neither the Du Household cultivators nor the Du Household's fallen Cuckoo Demon Race, which transformed into the Azalea Demon Race, liked to engage in direct combat or fighting.

They preferred to engage in direct combat using various tamed beasts and demonic bird puppets to draw the enemy's attention.

Then, they would hide behind the scenes and plot and attack with all sorts of schemes and tricks.

Therefore, when facing the attack of the Demon Beast tide driven and controlled by the Cuckoo Demon Race, Kong Wenxuan was always more cautious, not only paying attention to the situation on the entire battlefield, but also always maintaining a certain level of vigilance towards his own surroundings.

"Chirp! Impossible!" The Cuckoo Demon Race, whose sneak attack had failed, let out Cuckoo sharp cry, its voice shrill. "How could you possibly have erected the Boundary Stele so quickly!"

"Chirp! Our Lineage records show that when our ancestors were developing ' Cuckoo County,' it usually took them more than an hour to erect Boundary Stele."

"Hmph!" Kong Wenxuan sneered upon hearing this, saying, "That only proves that your Du Household were not strong enough. They failed to complete all the tests in the Star Inlaying Trial, and the ' Cuckoo True Spirit Star ' they inlaid was only a low-grade star."

"Chirp! Don't you dare insult my Du Household!" Upon hearing Kong Wenxuan's words, the Cuckoo Demon Race roared angrily, but instead of charging forward to continue its attack, it turned around, flapped its wings, and flew away into the distance.

Buzz!

However, at this moment, the "barrier" that the "Peacock County Boundary Stele" emitted rapidly expanded, directly catching up with the fleeing Cuckoo Demon Race, enveloping it within it, and greatly restricting and slowing down its escape speed.

Sizzle!

With a soft cracking sound, Kong Wenxuan didn't waste any more words and directly summoned the "White Metal Divine Sword," which transformed into Golden Light Sword Threads and slashed directly at the Cuckoo Demon Race.

"Chirp! No..."

The Cuckoo Demon Race screamed and tried its best to activate all its defensive demonic artifacts and techniques, but all of them were useless under the Second Tier "Refining the Sword into Threads" strike. In the end, it could only scream miserably and was cut in half, dying on the spot.

"Jiujiu... Third Brother!"

The Cuckoo Demon Race, who had been hiding outside the border, clutching the "Soul-Summoning Banner" in their claws, driving and controlling the tide of Demon Beast and attracting attention in the open, cried out in despair upon seeing this.

Then, it simply withdrew the projection of the "Demon-Summoning Banner," ignoring the remaining Demon Beast, demonic birds, and those "flying bird puppets," and took flight, turning and fleeing into the depths of the southern mountains.

The opponent remained hidden outside the border, maintaining a great distance, even beyond the range of Kong Wenxuan's "Five Elements Divine Swords" attack.

Therefore, even if Kong Wenxuan's Second Tier "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" reaches three times the speed of sound, it is useless. No matter how fast it is, it is too far away and cannot attack the opponent.

Seeing the other party turn and flee, Kong Wenxuan did not hesitate. He stepped onto the Second Tier Spirit Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" and rode on the sword, chasing after the fleeing Cuckoo Demon Race beyond the border line.

Cut the weeds and eradicate the root of the problem; eliminate evil completely!

This time, if they fail to completely annihilate the invading Cuckoo Demon Race and inflict a severe blow on the Du Household, who knows how many more methods and attacks the enemy will employ to disrupt and sabotage the Kong Household's efforts to expand and establish "Peacock County".

Lili!

However, just as Kong Wenxuan chased after him, suddenly on the "Peacock True Spirit Star" projected and manifested in the sky, the five-colored "Peacock True Spirit" raised its head and sang a clear song, spreading its wings and dancing. Large swaths of starlight burst forth from the "True Spirit Star" and fell down.

However, the direction in which these starlights fell was not towards the border battlefield where they were, but towards the "Peacock County Seat" that the Kong Household was currently building, thousands of miles away.

"This is..." Kong Wenxuan had to stop his pursuit and look up at the "Peacock True Spirit Star" in the sky. Judging from the magnificent starlight hanging down from that star, he quickly made a judgment. "Peacock County Seat is under attack!"

"Is this a diversionary tactic by the enemy?"

"Moreover, judging from the sheer number of starlight falling, it seems the Second Elder and the others have activated the ' Black Tortoise Command ' and dispatched Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle to fight?"

"In Peacock County Seat, although the county town is not yet fully built and the complete Third Tier treasure array ' Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation ' has not been set up, the ' Mountain Formation,' which is already half-set up, also possesses the protective power of Third Tier treasure array."

"What kind of enemy could make the Second Elder feel that the ' Mountain Formation ' alone is not enough to protect the county town under construction, and that a large amount of Law Power must be expended to send out Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle to control the beast?"

"Could it be that the attack on the county town was carried out by Third Tier Demon Beast!"

Kong Wenxuan quickly made a deduction in his mind, and at the same time, he quickly took out the "communication Jade Slip" from his Storage Bag, preparing to inquire about the situation.

Just then, starlight appeared on the "communication Jade Slip" he took out, and he quickly probed it with his Spiritual Consciousness to read the information within.

It was news from my second aunt, Kong Yujin: the "Peacock County Seat" that the Lineage was building as they expanded their territory had been attacked by a Third Tier Flame Sparrow Demon Beast!
