The battle concluded swiftly, as the ten individuals coordinated seamlessly to deal with three third-tier Demonic Beasts. Naturally, it wasn't a challenging task for them.
Leading this group was none other than Skinny Monkey. At this moment, he walked among the Demonic Beast corpses, meticulously tallying their loot, recording each item for future collection.
Accompanying him were the Golden Core Cultivators of the Revival Battle Team. Having missed out on the previous battle against the Demon Wolves, they had been itching for an opportunity like this.
"I heard that the Demon Clan organized over a hundred third-tier Demonic Beasts this time. We need to be quick and aim to slay as many of these beasts as possible to earn contribution points. It's been so long since I reached Core Building, and I still haven't refined a Lifebound Magical Treasure," one of the Golden Core Cultivators sighed. Having missed the previous battle, they had watched others earn merit by slaying demons and then using the materials to refine Lifebound Magical Treasures, and they had long been envious.
This time, with an opportunity to participate, their thoughts weren't filled with fear, but rather with the desire to make a fortune.
"Come on, you've only been Core Building for a little over ten years. I've been at it for thirty years and haven't found the materials to refine a Lifebound Magical Treasure yet. We must seize this chance to earn more merits," another Golden Core Cultivator shared similar sentiments.
"Everyone, make good use of this time to meditate and recover. There will be several more significant battles ahead, and there are many opportunities to earn merit in this major battle, provided we survive," Skinny Monkey poured some cold water on his enthusiastic comrades and took a sip from a bottle of third-tier Spirit Wine, then began meditating to restore his Spiritual Power.
Seeing this, the others also took out their Spirit Wine and quickly replenished their spent Spiritual Power.
In preparation for this major battle, Xu Lun had brought out his entire stock of third-tier Spirit Wine, distributing it among all the participating Golden Core Cultivators. These precious bottles of third-tier Spirit Wine had been Xu Lun's treasured collection for a long time, as third-tier Spiritual Objects were incredibly rare, making Spirit Wine crafted from them even scarcer. Such valuable strategic resources were typically hoarded by major powers.
However, their East Master was concerned that the Spirit Wine might run out and affect their safety, so he had gone to Yunxia Mountain, taken out some magic weapons, and even dug deep into his own pockets to acquire some precious items. He had exchanged them with the Immortal Way Trading Company to obtain additional third-tier Spirit Wine for their use.
This gesture deeply touched many cultivators, and they secretly resolved to annihilate the Demon Clan invaders in the future to repay East Master's generosity.
After resting for an hour in their current location, a Transmission Talisman arrived from a distance and landed in Skinny Monkey's hand.
Skinny Monkey quickly checked the contents and then rose to his feet, shouting to the others, "Everyone, get up quickly! Follow me to the next ambush location."
The unexpected arrival of a second mission caught everyone by surprise, and they immediately leaped to their feet.
The ten individuals quickly organized their belongings and departed from their current position, heading towards the next battlefield.
Several dozen miles away, a Daoist Master emerged from a pile of rubble. He had sent the Transmission Talisman to Skinny Monkey and had been secretly trailing behind them.
These individuals were all under the command of Liu Changsheng and played a crucial role in this battle. If it weren't for them strategically monitoring the various Demon Clan factions and their movements, how could they have known the Demon Clan's intentions and executed precise ambushes?
If it weren't for their communication and information exchange, even if they knew the Demon Clan's movements, how could they convey it in a timely manner to the combat teams?
So, without the information and communication from the Immortal Way Trading Company's cultivators, the Yunxia Mountain side would at best be able to ambush one or two Demon Clan groups, without the ability to execute large-scale ambushes.
Currently, each combat team from the Immortal Way Trading Company had a hidden contact cultivator, and each major Demon Clan faction had someone responsible for monitoring.
Furthermore, there were other cultivators responsible for transmitting information in various directions.
The Demon Clan teams dispatched by various factions were unaware that they had been targeted the moment they left their nests.
As they moved away from their respective territories, they would fall into ambushes set by Human Clan cultivators far superior in strength.
The various Demon Clan factions were unaware of this; they had no close communication with each other. Therefore, they had no idea that the teams participating in the battle were being systematically taken down by Human Clan cultivators.
A few teams that were defeated did manage to send word back to their own clans. Although their clans received the news with anger, they were reluctant to share this information with other Demon Clans.
The Demon Clan was not a united front. Unlike humans, they believed more in the rule of the survival of the fittest. Thus, skirmishes and takeovers among themselves were common occurrences.
So, when one clan suffered losses, and others remained unscathed, it created a sense of imbalance among them.
If everyone suffered losses, their own losses wouldn't stand out as much, and there would be no room for ridicule.
As a result, one by one, these teams were being defeated, while the other teams continued to advance with high spirits, still fantasizing about how to divide the spoils after exterminating the Human Clan.
At the same time, in Azure Void City, the team of the Qing Fox Clan had arrived.
They had a larger number of Demon Clan members and were on their home turf, so no one had been sent to ambush the Qing Fox Clan.
Currently, as the hosts, the Qing Fox Clan was making various preparations in Azure Void City to welcome the arriving teams from different factions.
This joint operation had been initiated, organized, and coordinated by the Qing Fox Clan. They naturally wanted to use this opportunity to showcase their strength and, at the same time, attract some Demon Clan factions to enhance their influence within the Demon Clan.
In a large hall within Azure Void City, several third-tier Demonic Beasts from the Qing Fox Clan gathered, discussing their battle plan against the Human Clan.
"I must lead the main attack this time and lead the demons to conquer Yunxia Mountain," declared a fierce black-eyed Qing Fox, brimming with confidence. It wanted to perform exceptionally well in this battle to earn significant contributions and gain more resource rewards within its clan.
"This time, the Human Clan only has dozens of Golden Core cultivators, and their total number doesn't exceed a few thousand. In contrast, we have gathered over a hundred third-tier Demon Clan members, with a total number reaching tens of thousands. Even if we let a pig lead the main attack, we would undoubtedly win. You, black-eyed, are quite the strategist," another white-faced Qing Fox, who clearly didn't get along with the black-eyed one, sarcastically remarked.
"That's right! Brother White-faced is absolutely correct. I believe I can also lead the main attack," chimed in another Demonic Beast.
In this battle, taking charge of the main attack meant leading the majority of the Demon Clan forces, charging at the forefront, and earning more merits. In ordinary battles, no one would vie for this position since it was too dangerous.
However, this time was different. They had gathered a force far superior to their opponents, with at least twice the number of third-tier individuals compared to the Human Clan.
In their view, victory in this battle was a foregone conclusion.
