The Demon Race Turns to Guerrilla Warfare; the Main Army's Battlefield in Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Given the current battlefield situation and the merits the Kong Household made in the great battle in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," it is impossible for Kong Wenxuan to go into seclusion for two or three years to completely refine and upgrade the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" and advance it to the Fourth Tier Law Treasure level.
Therefore, the only option is to engage in fragmented periods of seclusion, seizing every opportunity to complete the refinement and advancement of the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" as quickly as possible.
This time, however, Kong Wenxuan only had three months of seclusion.
Three months later, nearly half of the third "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" spiritual material had been absorbed and refined by Kong Wenxuan's "Yellow Earth Divine Sword". However, his seclusion time was over. He put the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword", which had become much stronger and more stubborn, back into his "Purple Mansion" and sealed the remaining "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" spiritual material in his Storage Bag.
Then, they left through the array passage opened by the Kang Household, exiting the "Origin-Securing Grand Formation" of Dangkang Commandery.
After setting up the grand formation, Kong Wenxuan first contacted his clan to learn about their situation on the battlefield of "Spirit Taming Pass".
News from the clan is all positive. Second Elder Kong Changlan has successfully advanced to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage, adding another Third Tier combatant to the Lineage. In Bifang Commandery City, the forging of the Fourth Tier "Peacock Cloud Boat" is progressing very smoothly. According to the news that Fourteenth Uncle recently sent back to the Lineage, the overall framework of the first Fourth Tier "Peacock Cloud Boat" has been completed, and the forging of the first boat will be completed in at most another six months.
As for the situation at the "Spirit Taming Pass Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," it is also improving.
After more than three months of recuperation and recovery, the armies of the three prefectures, along with the Demon Race and the Demon Beast forces, have almost fully recovered and have begun to gather some strength again. Recently, they have been showing signs of restlessness, eager to clash and engage in battle once more.
However, according to the information obtained by Uncle Kong Yushuo, the Demon Race seems to have learned from the previous battle of "Spirit Taming Pass" and knows that such a large-scale battle is no match for the army of the three counties. Therefore, the Demon Race and Demon Beast gathered far from "Spirit Taming Pass" have changed their fighting style and have chosen to break up into hundreds of teams of different sizes, scattered in various places thousands of miles away from "Spirit Taming Pass".
Then, they attacked various large and small teams from the three counties that had left "Spirit Taming Pass" to go deep into the front to collect resources and spiritual objects, causing considerable damage and casualties.
This also prevented the cultivators from the various families in the three prefectures from going any further and advancing, forcing them to stay within the "Spirit Taming Pass".
Clearly, after suffering losses in the Battle of Spirit Taming Pass, the Demon Race abandoned positional warfare and switched to guerrilla warfare.
The "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" is originally the territory of the Demon Race. They are not only most familiar with its various terrains and celestial phenomena, but there may also be various arrangements made by the Demon Race in different places.
After breaking up into smaller groups, they could wage guerrilla warfare, attacking various cultivator teams that left "Spirit Taming Pass," which was actually quite suitable for them.
Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan could only send a message to his clan, instructing his uncle and others to stay in the "Spirit Taming Pass" for the time being to continue recuperating and cultivating, and not to rush to leave the "Spirit Taming Pass" to go deep into the front to scavenge resources and spiritual objects, so as to avoid being ambushed or attacked by the Demon Race. Everything would be decided after he returned to the battlefield.
However, although he said he was preparing to return to the battlefield, Kong Wenxuan was not in a hurry to leave "Dangkang Commandery" and return to Bifang Commandery and his Lineage.
Instead, he stayed in "Dangkang Commandery City" for a few more days. He invited the Golden Core True Person of the Kang Household who had received him and activated the "array" for him to a banquet. He did this to thank them for their hospitality and care, as he would come here many times in the future to cultivate in seclusion and make friends with these Golden Core True Person of the Kang Household, which would ultimately be beneficial.
Secondly, he also wanted to inquire from these Kang Household True Person about the battle situation of the main force led by the Lu Household, led by Extended Net Moon Deer, in their counterattack on the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.
Although it is evident from various circumstances that the great battle of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" army's counterattack on the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" has proceeded quite smoothly.
Like the starry sky transformed from the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" in the heavens, it successfully invaded the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and occupied half of the sky.
Furthermore, after the Demon Race in "Spirit Taming Pass" were defeated and fled, they were unable to gather more Demon Race and Demon Beast from "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" to launch a counterattack.
etc.
It is clear that in this counter-offensive, the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" has the upper hand and is in a winning position.
However, these were merely inferences made by Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household based on their observations. As for the specific details of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty's " counterattack on the other battlefields of the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven," the Kong Household had little access to information or confirmation.
Ultimately, the Kong Household was merely a "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, a county-level Lineage. Many high-level news and battle reports from the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" would never reach them.
At most, the message would reach the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage in each prefecture. These county-level "Low-Grade True Spirit" Lineage only needed to follow the prefecture-level "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage and fight, battle, and advance on the counterattack battlefield.
Therefore, if Kong Wenxuan wanted to understand the situation on other battlefields, especially the counterattack, invasion, and combat situation of the main force of Extended Net Moon Deer Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, which the Lu Household had abandoned, he could only rely on his own methods to inquire and learn.
What better and faster way would be to inquire directly from the Dangkang Kang Household cultivators who were part of the main army?
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan did not rush back, but stayed in Dangkang Commandery City for a while and made friends.
The Golden Core True Person of the Dangkang Kang Household, including Kong Wenxuan, did not refuse his invitations, attempts to befriend him, or even his inquiries about the battlefield.
Kong Wenxuan's reputation was quite high, at least within the "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" region, and he had attracted the attention of many "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
Whether it was his remarkable achievement of leading the "Peacock" Kong Household from a servant Lineage to a "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage in just a few decades, or his combat power and lethality far exceeding those of his peers in several major battles against the invasion of Demon Race and martial cultivators, all of these were enough to attract the attention and concern of various families.
Even the Lu Household, which governs Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture, pays close attention to Kong Wenxuan, let alone the "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage in these various prefectures.
Therefore, the several Golden Core True Person of the Kang Household had long heard of Kong Wenxuan's name and were willing to befriend him.
During the banquet, the two sides exchanged information about the battles and skirmishes on the two counter-offensive battlefields.
Kong Wenxuan briefed them on the major battle in which the armies of the three prefectures captured "Spirit Taming Pass," while the Golden Core True Person of the Kang Household also briefed him on the battlefield situation of the main force of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" counterattacking and attacking "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven."
According to the Kang Household's True Person, the main force of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" is advancing much more smoothly and deeply than the army from the three prefectures.
With the Lu Household army leading the charge, the main force has successively conquered and captured three Demon Race cities in the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" during the past few months of battle, and seized and occupied more than ten large and small Demon Race clan territories and strongholds. The various "True Spirit Lineage" have already made a fortune by plundering and looting resources, spiritual objects, and essence.
Unlike the armies of Bifang, Qinggeng, and Huodou, which have been counterattacking for months and are still trapped at Spirit Taming Pass, unable to advance further.
