When Wang Hong arrived at Taihao Sect, the sect was already besieged by Demonic Beasts on all sides.
He circled the perimeter but couldn't find a way to infiltrate Taihao Sect. With his individual strength, he couldn't break through the heavy blockade set up by the Demon Clan.
Helpless and worried about Wang Yi's safety, he had no choice but to wait patiently outside. Even if he brought all his subordinates, they wouldn't make much of a difference in such a massive battle.
He waited outside Taihao Sect for over ten days, during which Nascent Soul cultivators engaged in battles more than ten times.
On this day, like the ones before it, Nascent Soul cultivators from Qingxu Sect clashed fiercely with fourth-tier Demonic Beasts from the Demon Clan in the high skies.
The power unleashed by Nascent Soul cultivators during combat made Wang Hong, who was watching from afar, feel an urge to turn and flee.
However, before long, Taihao Sect's Large Formation was breached under the assault of two fourth-tier Demonic Beasts.
Upon seeing that Taihao Sect was breaking northward, Wang Hong immediately steered Little Peng in that direction.
When they reached the northern edge of the Demonic Beast encirclement, Wang Hong found a secluded spot. He removed his Daoist Robe, revealing his upper body.
He activated the "Body Strengthening Invincible Golden Body Technique" Cultivation Technique, causing his skin to change color. First, it turned red, but upon looking at himself in the mirror, he realized he didn't resemble a Demonic Beast.
Then he turned his skin black, still feeling unsatisfied. After some consideration, he changed his skin to green.
As he looked at himself in the mirror with a smile, his appearance took on a sinister and eerie aspect. He could probably terrify children without a doubt.
Still not entirely satisfied, he manipulated the muscles all over his body and raised two large bumps on his forehead, resembling horns.
He further altered his facial skin, allowing localized skin to stretch and form deep wrinkles on both sides of his cheeks, giving the impression of gills, somewhat resembling a fish.
After this transformation, he doubted anyone would recognize him.
However, Human Clan cultivates Spiritual Power, while Demon Clan cultivates demonic energy. He had to conceal his own aura; otherwise, using Spiritual Power would quickly give him away.
Upon seeing Wang Hong's new appearance, Little Peng circled around him several times. Fortunately, it had witnessed Wang Hong's transformation, or else it wouldn't have recognized him at all.
"East Master, what kind of Demonic Beast are you now? I've never seen this species before."
"I don't know either. Don't worry about the details. As long as we can deceive most of the Demonic Beasts."
Wang Hong didn't know if there were such species within the Demon Clan, but many hybrid Demonic Beasts looked strange and different anyway.
After preparing everything, he exposed his upper body, carried a wooden stick, and stood on Little Peng's back. Then he ordered Little Peng to mingle with the attacking group of Demonic Beasts.
This was a plan he had considered for a while. The Demonic Beast group consisted of many different races, and they might not necessarily recognize each other.
As Little Peng and Wang Hong mingled within the group, they didn't attract much attention. Everyone's focus was on the ongoing battle ahead.
Wang Hong instructed Little Peng to push forward swiftly towards the frontline of the battle.
"Kill! Charge! I'll fight for the glory of my Demon Clan!" Little Peng shouted while pushing forward, following the slogans Wang Hong had taught it.
This tactic indeed proved effective and didn't arouse suspicion from other Demonic Beasts. They quickly reached the frontlines.
In front of Little Peng now was a massive third-tier White Rhino. This White Rhino was currently locked in a fierce battle with a Golden Core cultivator from Taihao Sect.
Wang Hong stood at the rear, wielding a large wooden staff. He half-heartedly parried an incoming medium-grade Spiritual Weapon from an opponent while his eyes and Divine Sense searched for Wang Yi's figure.
Wang Yi was currently amidst his fellow sect members, fiercely slaying the oncoming Demonic Beasts. Although his sword techniques were sharp and unstoppable, after days of continuous combat against what seemed like an endless horde of Demonic Beasts, he was growing increasingly fatigued, and the power of his sword strikes waned.
He retrieved a bottle from his Storage Bag and, with one hand, removed the bottle cap, pouring the last drop of Spirit Wine into his mouth. This was the Spirit Wine his brother had brought for him years ago, and it was now depleted after continuous battles.
He couldn't help but think about his brother. Back when Qingxu Sect was besieged by Demonic Beasts, Taihao Sword Sect had sent reinforcements, but they were intercepted and attacked by Demonic Beasts on their way.
The rescue attempt failed, and a significant number of their forces were lost. Wang Yi had been severely injured during that mission and had barely managed to escape back to the sect.
After that, Taihao Sect was also besieged by the Demon Clan, cutting off all communication with the outside world. Wang Yi had no idea about the current status of Qingxu Sect.
"Second Brother!"
Just as Wang Yi was thinking about his brother, a familiar voice and address resounded in his mind. He instinctively responded, "Brother!"
It was a habit he had developed since childhood. Whenever he heard that address, he would respond accordingly. However, after responding, he became puzzled. How could his brother possibly be here when they were currently surrounded on all sides?
"Senior Brother! What are you saying?" Feng Ai, a female cultivator who was close to him, seemed to have overheard Wang Yi talking and asked.
"It's nothing. You might have misheard," Wang Yi replied, trying to dismiss the matter. He continued to focus on fighting the Demonic Beasts in front of him. After taking a sip of Spirit Wine, his sword's power increased slightly.
However, he cast a suspicious glance around, wondering if he had just experienced an illusion.
"Second Brother! It's me, in front of you!"
This time, the voice was clearer, and Wang Yi was certain it was his brother. He immediately looked toward the opposite side. However, all he could see were Demonic Beasts. Where was his brother?
Then, he noticed a peculiar-looking Demonic Beast standing on the back of a large eagle. It was entirely green from head to toe, wielding a large wooden staff, and staring at him with a somewhat arrogant expression.
He instinctively prepared to use his Flying Sword to pierce through this Demonic Beast, daring it to challenge him.
"Stop! It's me! The green one is me! I'm your brother!"
Wang Hong, seeing that Wang Yi seemed about to attack him, hastily transmitted a Message to halt him. He was genuinely concerned that Wang Yi might unleash an attack on him.
Wang Hong had already realized that Wang Yi was now a Core cultivator, and his attacks were relentless. Nearly every sword strike could slay a Demonic Beast. He wasn't sure if he could withstand such an assault.
Fortunately, Divine Sense Message Transmission was fast, requiring only a single thought to convey a message.
Wang Yi's sword aura veered off from its original target, striking a different Demonic Beast, as he sent a telepathic message to the green Demonic Beast, "Who are you?"
"It's me! Your brother! Er Gou Zi!" Wang Hong transmitted his reply.
Hearing the response from the other side, Wang Yi finally confirmed that it was indeed his brother. In the entire Cultivation World, there shouldn't be more than a few who knew their nicknames, "Three Dogs" and "Second Brother."
