The Void Rift in the Mystic Crane Secret Realm Reopens; Counterattack on the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven
Bifang Commandery, Mystic Crane Secret Realm.
Kong Wenxuan, riding on the "Peacock Treasure Boat," led his Lineage's procession, followed by a Lineage of servants from "Peacock County," and returned to the battlefield where they had fought and clashed before.
Now, in this "Mystic Crane Secret Realm," the Bi Household army of "Bifang" and the teams of various "True Spirit Lineage" from the counties under Bifang Commandery have also gathered.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the various "True Spirit Lineage" teams from "Bifang Commandery" that gathered here, along with teams from "Qinggeng Commandery" and "Huodou Commandery," as well as their subordinate servant Lineage True Spirit Lineage. They set up camp and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
This counterattack on "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" is a major operation for the entire "True Spirit Realm," and basically all the "True Spirit Lineage" in the various prefectures and counties of the Five Directions and Five Regions will participate.
However, the specific attack plans varied, and different prefectures and counties had different arrangements.
Specifically, in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, the various "True Spirit Lineage" teams across the prefecture were divided into two groups, supporting each other as they simultaneously attacked the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven."
One army, led by the Lu Household family of "Extended Net Moon Deer", consisted of four prefectures: the Ming Household "Chongming", the Xuan Household "Xuan Xuanniao", the Yan Household "Zhuyan", and the Kang Household "Dangkang". As the main force of the "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" army, it launched an attack from the passage to "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" that the Lu Household of "Extended Net Moon Deer" had broken open, and stormed into "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven".
Meanwhile, another army, led by the Bi Household of "Bifang", the Geng Household "Qinggeng", Huo Household "Huodou", formed a detachment and launched an attack from the passage connecting the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" in "Bifang Commandery".
As a "True Spirit Lineage" under the jurisdiction of the "Bifang" Bi Household, the Kong Household naturally followed the Bi Household and launched an attack through the passage of this "Mystic Crane Secret Realm". Therefore, Kong Wenxuan led his team to this place to join the army.
However, this counterattack on "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" will likely be a protracted war, possibly lasting several years or even decades.
Therefore, although each "True Spirit Lineage" has prepared a considerable number of people to come, they will not all go all out. They will still leave some people behind to guard the Lineage, both to protect the Lineage and their rear, to prevent the Demon Race and martial artists from the "True Martial World" from taking advantage of the situation to attack, and to preserve the Lineage's living strength.
After all, it is conceivable that such a counter-offensive and war would inevitably result in casualties. If the casualties in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" are too heavy, then the cultivators and clansmen who remain in each Lineage will be the guarantee for the Lineage's future development and resurgence, and they cannot be left behind.
Therefore, many servant Lineage under the various "True Spirit Lineage" are unwilling to participate in such a counter-offensive war, lest they suffer heavy casualties.
The arrangements made by each "True Spirit Lineage" were different. Some forced all servant Lineage to send people to participate in the war, while others allowed the servant Lineage to choose for themselves.
The Kong Household allowed the Puxiu Lineage to choose for themselves; those willing to follow the Kong Household in launching a counterattack were allowed to send people to follow, while the Kong Household did not force those who were unwilling.
Therefore, at this time, the group of servant Lineage following behind the Kong Household army was not all the servant Lineage in the entire "Peacock County", but only about half of them.
Nearly half of the servant cultivator Lineage are still observing, waiting to see the outcome of the "True Spirit Realm" army's counterattack on the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven".
Alternatively, they could wait until the main force had entered the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and gained a certain advantage before choosing to follow the Kong Household in launching an attack.
While this might result in less credit being earned, it is undoubtedly much safer.
Anyway, everyone knows that such a counter-offensive will definitely develop into a protracted war, with fighting and killing lasting for years or even decades. There is no worry about a second, third, or even more waves of attacking forces and missions.
Not only these servant Lineage, but even the Kong Household itself did not mobilize all of Lineage cultivators and forces this time.
At this moment, in the military camp of the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm", the only Golden Core True Person leading the Kong Household Lineage Kong Wenxuan and his eldest uncle Kong Yushuo. They also brought only seven Purple Mansion cultivators, one hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators, and three thousand Qi Refinement disciples.
As for the clan leader Kong Changgeng, along with the other Purple Mansion cultivators, Foundation Establishment disciples, Qi Refinement disciples, and others, they all remained in Peacock County, both to maintain the protection and operation of the Peacock County and to preserve the Lineage's living strength and combat power.
However, although only about half of the Kong Household cultivators came, the majority of the "Peacock Dao Soldiers" team and the "Peacock Flying Boat" team were brought by Kong Wenxuan and his uncle Kong Yushuo, in order to strengthen the Kong Household's first batch of counterattack and attack on the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven".
After all, the first wave of attacking teams needs to conquer and occupy as much territory as possible in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," establishing strongholds for advancement and attack. This will facilitate subsequent waves and larger numbers of teams to launch attacks and seize and plunder more and better resources, spiritual objects, and origins within the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven."
Therefore, the number and combat strength of the first wave of attacking forces must be large and strong enough.
Beep! Beep beep...
Qinggeng! Qinggeng!
Bark! Bark...
Just then, the sky above the "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" echoed with the cries of the Bifang, the calls of the Qinggeng bird, and the barking of the Huodou dog.
Kong Wenxuan looked up and saw the "Bifang True Spirit Star", "Qinggeng True Spirit Star" and "Huodou True Spirit Star" all appearing in the sky, shining brightly, and the True Spirit raising their heads and roaring.
The next moment, a figure flew up from the Bi Household's ranks and stood in mid-air. It was none other than Bi Sitong, the Spirit Transformation Lord of the Bi Household.
But then he raised his voice and gave the order, "Soldiers of Bifang Commandery, Qinggeng Commandery, and Huodou Commandery, listen to my command! The counterattack on ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven ' is about to begin!"
"All teams, prepare yourselves and follow this divine lord into the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven '!"
As he spoke, the figure turned toward the crack in the sky that was sealed and suppressed, connecting to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven."
With a hand seal, he drew down starlight from the "Bifang True Spirit Star" in the sky, which fell into the sealed and suppressed rift. Instantly, many of the sealing and suppressing forces were released, and the void rift connecting to the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" opened up. A vast demonic light surged and crashed within, trying to break through the blockade of starlight and rush over.
"Kill them all!"
At this moment, Lord Bi Sitong let out a long shout, sweeping up a large area of tri-colored starlight hanging down from "Bifang True Spirit Star", and took the lead in rushing into the void rift, shattering the surging demonic light, and killing his way into the depths of the demonic light.
"The troops from Bifang Commandery, follow me into the ' Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven '!"
"Everyone in Qinggeng Commandery, follow me in the counterattack!"
"Army of Huodou Commandery, follow me to slay the enemy and vanquish the demons!"
At this moment, the leaders of the Bi Household, Geng Household, and Huo Household all leaped into the air, summoning the armies of the three prefectures to attack the void rift.
