After resting for two days concealed within the mountain's depths, Zhang Chunfeng and his group of eighty people set out once more, heading towards another Demonic Beast nest.
Since Yunxia Mountain had already been exposed, and they were engaged in a relentless battle with the Demon Clan, they wouldn't pass up any opportunity to slay some Demonic Beasts and weaken the Demon Clan's forces.
"There's a group of Black Scale Iron Tooth Demonic Beasts inside, with eight third-tier Demonic Beasts and a hundred second-tier Demonic Beasts in the whole clan. Last time, when the Demon Clan discussed attacking Yunxia Mountain, this was the most enthusiastic faction. We have four hours this time, so let's make it swift."
After giving some instructions outside, Zhang Chunfeng led the group charging in...
Meanwhile, within the territory of the Purple Flame Scorpion King, many Demonic Beasts were still searching for the hiding places of human cultivators. At this moment, the Purple Flame Scorpion King was furious. The Crimson Blood Thunder Python had been one of its most loyal factions, and now it had been wiped out by humans. If it couldn't eliminate these humans, its reputation would suffer greatly.
Just then, a point of light flew towards it, and it caught it. It was a kind of Demon Clan Magical Art, similar to a Transmission Talisman. After reading its contents, its expression changed dramatically, and it waved its hand, shattering a small mountain peak.
All the Demonic Beasts accompanying it trembled in fear, not daring to move.
"Spread the word, stop searching!"
After leaving these words behind, the Purple Flame Scorpion King disappeared without a trace.
Leaving various Demonic Beasts looking at each other in confusion, wondering why they were ordered to stop. It took them a while to learn from some well-informed Demonic Beasts that the group of Human Clan cultivators they were searching for had already escaped. Not long ago, the Black Scale Iron Tooth Demonic Beast clan was annihilated, and all eight third-tier Demonic Beasts were killed. The culprits were the very group of Human Clan cultivators they had been diligently searching for. After successfully attacking the Black Scale Iron Tooth Beasts, they mysteriously vanished.
Meanwhile, Zhang Chunfeng and his team were rapidly traversing the mountains. Through continuous battles over this period, they had gained combat experience and looted various places controlled by the Demon Clan, reaping significant rewards. Each of them was now loaded with Storage Bags, resembling nouveau riche individuals.
Now, they were following the safe route provided by the Immortal Way Trading Company to return. If they didn't return soon, Yunxia Mountain's core would likely be exposed to the Demon Clan. With only around twenty Golden Core Cultivators left in Yunxia Mountain, if the Qing Fox Demon Clan discovered their vulnerability and gathered their forces, it would be easy for them to destroy Yunxia Mountain.
Upon their return to Yunxia Mountain, the welcoming party was astounded by the group of people laden with Storage Bags, resembling walking warehouses. Luo Zhongjie stepped forward and enthusiastically hugged Zhang Chunfeng. "Zhang Ge, you've toiled for days!"
He casually plucked several Storage Bags from Zhang Chunfeng and retreated to the side, examining the contents with a gleeful expression.
"Wow! Skywind Stones! Absolute Cold Black Gold! Yin Essence..."
As Luo Zhongjie examined the items inside the Storage Bags, he rattled off the names of the rare materials one by one. These materials weren't Zhang Chunfeng's personal belongings; they were meant to be handed over, and individuals could exchange them freely based on their contribution points.
"It seems like Zhang Ge had a bountiful harvest this time!"
Apart from Zhang Chunfeng and Luo Zhongjie, others who had good relationships with them greeted each other or engaged in playful banter.
After the great battle, there was nothing more joyful than seeing all your friends alive.
Wang Hong stood a little apart, smiling as he watched the crowd celebrating.
When the celebration had died down somewhat, he approached, and as people noticed him drawing near, they gradually grew quiet.
He couldn't pinpoint when it had started, but he noticed that his subordinates had become more reserved when facing him.
"All of you have fought tirelessly for months, exterminating all the Demon Clan teams and even eradicating two Demon Clan nests. You've worked hard!
To welcome your triumphant return, Yunxia Mountain has already prepared a grand feast. Please, everyone, take your seats!"
At the summit of Yunxia Mountain, a sumptuous banquet had been prepared. Sloppy Old Daoist had personally prepared Spirit Meals, and there were plenty of various spirit fruits and aromatic Spirit Wine on the table.
After the celebration, they began to tally everyone's contributions and distribute contribution points. The loot collected by Zhang Chunfeng and his group this time was incredibly abundant. Although they had slain dozens of Demonic Beast teams, the majority of their gains consisted of Demonic Beast materials since only a few Demonic Beasts carried valuable items.
However, the two Demon Clan nests they had eradicated contained all the accumulated wealth of those Demon Clans, including a considerable number of Spiritual Objects plundered from the Human Clan, stacked like mountains in the nests.
As a result, in the following period, individuals like Chen Xiaofeng and the Ma Brothers, who possessed various skills, had been extremely busy. Outside Chen Xiaofeng's cave mansion, several cultivators were queuing up, waiting to meet him and request his assistance in refining magic weapons.
At this moment, the door of the cave mansion swung open, and a strange black-robed cultivator emerged. He walked toward the door, but when he saw a crowd gathered there, he paused briefly, didn't greet anyone, and simply left.
This black-robed person was none other than Liu Changsheng. He had interacted with only a handful of people on Yunxia Mountain, and very few knew him. His visit this time was arranged by Wang Hong.
In this battle, the Immortal Way Trading Company had played a significant role. Without Liu Changsheng's leadership and the comprehensive information they provided, the entire plan would have been impossible to execute. The Immortal Way Trading Company excelled in gathering intelligence, espionage, and assassination but lacked talents in other areas like alchemy and tool refinement. They didn't generate income and relied on Wang Hong for all their expenses. This time, with the massive haul of materials, Wang Hong had naturally allocated a portion to the Immortal Way Trading Company.
Liu Changsheng, holding Wang Hong's token, approached Chen Xiaofeng with these materials and requested him to refine them into magic weapons more suitable for their use.
Although Yunxia Mountain had gained over a hundred Golden Core Stage cultivators, they faced the same deficiency – a severe lack of magic weapons. In this battle, no Golden Core Cultivator from Yunxia Mountain had died, but three Golden Core Cultivators from the Immortal Way Trading Company had perished while scouting for information outside. Since they often operated alone, encountering Demonic Beasts or being discovered made it difficult for them to escape unscathed.
When Liu Changsheng left, the people at the entrance didn't pay much attention and were more focused on what was happening inside.
"Next!"
Hearing this, Jia Liang hurried forward.
"Master Chen, I would like to request your assistance in refining a lightning attribute magic weapon."
He then presented twelve Vertebral Bones from the Crimson Blood Thunder Python, each radiating the power of lightning.
Seeing these twelve Vertebral Bones shimmering with electric energy, Chen Xiaofeng's eyes gleamed with excitement. He wished he could snatch them up right away and start refining. However, the dignity of a tool refiner reminded him to remain composed. After giving them a brief glance, he asked calmly, "What kind of magic weapon do you intend to refine?"
"I want to refine a Long Whip!"
