Eight squads had gathered together, led by Zhang Chunfeng, totaling eighty-one Golden Core Cultivators.
With such formidable strength, as long as they didn't provoke those fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, they could roam freely throughout the land.
Zhang Chunfeng led these eighty individuals, concealing their presence as they followed a winding path, finally arriving at the entrance of a mountain valley.
Their route had been meticulously scouted by intelligence operatives from the Immortal Way Trading Company, avoiding the watchful eyes of various Demon Clans.
Within this mountain valley, the Crimson Blood Thunder Python Clan held sway, boasting a vast number of members. They possessed tens of thousands of first-tier Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons, approximately one or two hundred second-tiers, and even twelve third-tier Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons.
Although Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons weren't fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, they still held considerable influence among the Demon Clans.
"Listen to my command when the time comes. We'll all attack simultaneously. The nearest fourth-tier Demonic Beast is the Violet Flame Scorpion, roughly half a day's journey away from here. So, we have only half a day. After that, regardless of the outcome, we must retreat promptly."
While they couldn't be certain if other Demon Clans would come to the rescue, they needed to be prepared just in case.
If it were third-tier Demonic Beasts, they might have a chance to escape, but if fourth-tier Demonic Beasts arrived to reinforce, it was something they, currently at their tier, couldn't possibly withstand. It might result in complete annihilation.
So, even though they had successfully ambushed the Demon Clan and were now attacking the Crimson Blood Thunder Python, it appeared they were celebrating, but in reality, they had been dancing on the edge of a knife all along.
After giving his instructions to everyone, Zhang Chunfeng led the group towards the mountain valley.
At this moment, they no longer concealed their presence, and the powerful auras of the eighty individuals converged, emitting an overwhelming pressure.
The first-tier Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons in the valley trembled all over, prostrating themselves on the ground, afraid to move.
"Attack!"
The eighty individuals once again split into eight squads, charging in different directions.
Everything living they encountered along the way was swiftly cut down, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
"Who dares to act recklessly here!"
At this moment, a furious roar echoed from deep within the mountain valley, a thunderous sound that shook the entire place.
Then, a colossal serpent soared into the sky from the depths of the mountain valley, its body stretching dozens of yards, covered in black scales.
Its enormous form blocked the sunlight above the mountain valley, casting a large shadow below.
The Crimson Blood Thunder Python in the air noticed Zhang Chunfeng and the others and opened its gaping maw, spewing forth a massive thunderball, crackling with electric arcs.
While the thunderball hung in the air, the flowers, grass, and trees on the ground withered instantaneously.
This massive thunderball, with the power to destroy heaven and earth, plummeted towards the ground.
One of the squads was directly in its path, facing this thunderball. However, this squad had at least ten Golden Core Cultivators and was not afraid of such lightning.
In an instant, two shields flew out to block the path, while five rainbow lights combined in mid-air to form a Flying Sword over a dozen yards long, slashing towards the Crimson Blood Thunder Python.
With a crisp sound, the previously arrogant Crimson Blood Thunder Python didn't even manage to intercept the sword, as it was cleaved into two.
In another squad, Jia Liang observed the massive thunderball unleashed by the Crimson Blood Thunder Python with a hint of disdain. He raised his hand and conjured a thunderball of his own. However, his thunderball was only about a foot in size, but it was more concentrated. He intended to challenge the Crimson Blood Thunder Python, but to his surprise, the creature had already been cleaved into two.
Just as he was about to strike a pose of a master feeling lonely, suddenly, more than ten angry roars echoed within the mountain valley.
Then, eleven enormous Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons soared into the sky, with the largest one nearly a hundred yards long, glaring at the group with lantern-sized eyes, filled with rage.
Seeing all the third-tier Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons from the valley taking flight, Zhang Chunfeng shouted a few times, and the eight squads of Golden Core Cultivators regrouped and split into two large teams, charging towards the airborne Crimson Blood Thunder Pythons...
In Azure Void City, Qingxiao received news that the entire force of Demonic Beasts participating in the siege had been annihilated, leaving it in a dilemma.
Should it advance? Reliable sources revealed that there were around fifty to sixty Golden Core Cultivators from Yunxia Mountain. Did it intend to lead these eighteen third-tier Qing Foxes to offer fox pelts and demon cores as gifts?
As for retreating, it had previously acted so boldly, and now it would return empty-handed. How could it face its kin?
It was likely to become a laughingstock among its kind. Although Qingxiao held a prestigious position within the Qing Fox clan, there were others with similar status, and competition among them was fierce. It would be deeply embarrassed if it returned now.
Thus, Qingxiao remained in Azure Void City these past few days, hoping to find a way out. It also dispatched subordinates to search for traces of the Golden Core Cultivator squads, but they had been unsuccessful.
One day, a Qing Fox suddenly entered and reported, "Young Master, the Golden Core Cultivator team from Yunxia Mountain has gathered, and they have wiped out the Crimson Blood Thunder Python Clan. The entire Crimson Blood Thunder Python Clan, from third-tier Demon Clan down to second-tier, was annihilated, with only a few first-tier Demon Clan members escaping."
"Humph! These Human Clan cultivators are truly audacious! When did this happen, and where are they now?" Qingxiao was clearly shocked by this news. It had not expected that the Human Clan would take advantage and not retreat, daring to attack Demon Clans.
It knew that the location they were in had several major races, and any carelessness could lead to entanglement with these races, ultimately resulting in nowhere to run.
"This happened just yesterday. At that time, when the Violet Flame Scorpion King received the distress signal, it personally went there, but the Human Clan had already left. Now, the surrounding Demon Clans have joined forces and sealed off the area. It's only a matter of time before they are found and eliminated."
"Good! Do you know how many Golden Core Cultivators from the Human Clan attacked the Crimson Blood Thunder Python this time?"
Qingxiao's mood had greatly improved at this moment. As for the extermination of the Crimson Blood Thunder Python Clan, it could express sympathy, but it had nothing to do with it.
"According to the escaped Crimson Blood Thunder Python, these Human Clan members are all at the Golden Core cultivation level, and there were approximately eighty of them."
Qingxiao had not expected that this group of Human Clan cultivators actually numbered eighty Golden Core cultivators. Previously, it had estimated around sixty. Fortunately, this had all been exposed now.
Upon receiving this information, Qingxiao saw an opportunity. It had no intention of going to the area blocked off by the Demon Clans to fight the Human Clan, as the distance was too great. By the time it arrived, the battle would likely be over, and it would gain nothing.
What it had in mind was Yunxia Mountain. Knowing that the Human Clan had ambushed and slaughtered all the participating Demonic Beasts outside, it realized that Yunxia Mountain must be vacant.
After all, being able to send out eighty Golden Core Cultivators was already the limit, something even the major Human Clan forces in the past had never achieved.
Qingxiao hadn't acted previously because it wasn't sure if the Golden Core Cultivators from the Human Clan had returned. Now, it had learned that not only had they not returned, but they were also planning to attack other Demon Clans, leading to their current encirclement.
"Hahaha! This is the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot."
