Afterwards, Zhan Chen led the team back to Dangmo City, met Xu Chang, and reported the gains and losses of the battle.
Xu Chang was very happy and said to everyone: "This battle was fought very well. More than a thousand demon cultivators were annihilated and the hidden dangers of a mountain were eliminated. I will take credit for everyone here!"
More than a dozen elders said one after another: "Elder Xu, it is within my generation to serve the clan and eliminate demons and defend the Tao."
In addition to being happy, Xu Chang also showed a little worry on his face and said: "However, we should also see that in this battle, we have killed more than thirty disciples, and more than seventy disciples have been injured. This is just the beginning.
There's still a tough battle to be fought down there, and I'm worried about how many of us will be able to go back in the end."
The topic Xu Chang talked about was a bit heavy, and everyone fell into deep thought for a moment. As the saying goes, when a rabbit dies and a fox is sad, everything hurts its own kind. On the battlefield, anything can happen, and they can't guarantee that they will not die.
At this moment, an elder named Chen Yong stood up and said: "Elder Xu, let's not think too much. As the saying goes, if you kill ten thousand enemies, you will lose eight thousand. What's more, only thirty of our three thousand people died in the battle.
How many disciples are there? Only one hundred and one. Besides, battle is like this, survival of the fittest, weak disciples are easy to fight.
died, but the truly powerful disciples were able to stay until the end. The reason why the sect master sent so many elders and disciples to the battlefield this time was, on the one hand, to express his determination to fight the Demon Sect to the death, and on the other hand, I think it was also because of this exercise
The purpose of the disciples is that after experiencing this battle, the people left behind will grow even more!"
Xu Chang nodded and sighed: "Yes, Elder Chen, you are right, but as a commander, it would be a bit sad to see my sect's disciples die on the battlefield."
Zhan Chen felt something in his heart, stood up and said loudly: "Elder Xu, don't worry, I will do my best from now on to bring everyone back!"
Xu Chang looked at him with a flash of relief in his eyes and said: "Zhan Chen, don't force it, you have done well enough in this battle. As Elder Chen Yong said, there will inevitably be casualties in war, but our efforts are
Meaningful, it will bring peace to the Cangheng Mountains!"
In the next three days, the results of the first battle of each sect in the Righteous Alliance came out. Kong Qiliang once again convened representatives of each sect to hold a summary meeting of the first battle. Each sect reported their results and found that while inflicting heavy losses on the demon cultivators, each
Each sect suffered varying degrees of losses, but generally the number of casualties was limited to around a hundred, with only three sects having nearly two hundred people.
After listening to the reports from each sect, Kong Qiliang gave instructions: maintain the established policy unchanged and continue to sweep away the demonic cultivators entrenched around the Soul Sect!
So in the next few months, Zhan Chen continued to lead the disciples of the Linghe Sect to eliminate demonic cultivators on the mountain peaks near Yinhun Valley. In order to avoid the casualties of the Linghe Sect's disciples, he took the lead every time, but even so, the casualties were still there.
Inevitably, they encountered four ambushes and five threatening frontal encounters.
By the end of the campaign, a total of more than 500 Linghe Sect disciples had been killed, and one elder had been killed. However, such a small casualty rate ranked high among all the sects of the Righteous Alliance. The Linghe Sect was already
It can be said that it is not a powerful small immortal sect that can achieve such results without Zhan Chen's efforts.
The end of the battle to annihilate the demonic cultivators not only meant a great victory for the Righteous Alliance in the war against the Corpse Soul Sect, but also laid the foundation for the decisive battle. Through exploration, each sect gradually discovered the topography and landforms near the Ghost Valley, and figured out the corpse sect.
The location of the Soul Sect's portal - Yintian Gorge.
Kong Qiliang immediately held a general mobilization for the decisive battle in Danmo City, gathering the armies of all sects. After experiencing the battle outside the Shadow Valley, the righteous coalition forces annihilated more than 500,000 enemies in total, and also killed more than 60,000 people, with the remaining
There were 140,000 people, and although nearly one-third of the soldiers died in battle, the only ones left behind were monks who had gone through cruel tests, and the battle did not lead to decline, but rather improvement.
On the high platform, Kong Qiliang looked at the sea of people below and said excitedly: "Dear warriors of the Righteous Alliance, it's finally time for us to have a decisive battle with the Soul Sect. This time, we will completely defeat them to comfort our dead.
Fellow sects and elders, please bring peace to the Cangheng Mountain Range. We will set out early tomorrow morning to defeat the Demon Sect. When everyone returns in triumph, you will become the heroes of your sect and receive the most generous rewards!"
"Destroy the Demon Sect!" All the soldiers also shouted in unison, and the high-pitched voices rose one after another, passing through the clouds and cracking rocks, and were more turbulent than a tsunami.
That night, a grand bonfire dinner was held in Dangmo City, and most of the immortals were extremely drunk. As the saying goes, "You are lying drunk on the battlefield, Lord Don't laugh, how many people have fought in ancient times!" A battle with the Corpse Soul Sect must be like this!
It was earth-shattering. Even without the devil Xiao Xie, it would be like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Almost everyone was ready to sacrifice.
Early the next morning, the army set off and marched straight towards the Yintian Gorge. When they arrived at their destination, Zhan Chen finally saw the true face of this dangerous Lushan Mountain. The Yintian Gorge is located in the center of the Yinhun Valley and is the only way to enter the Yinhun Valley.
, it is tens of thousands of feet high, but only a hundred meters wide, winding for thousands of meters, leading straight to the bottom of the Ghost Valley.
And around it, there are giant peaks that are tens of thousands of feet high. These giant peaks are crowded together one after another, forming a huge basin. In the basin, the Yin Qi accumulates, forming billowing black clouds. If you stand on the giant peaks and overlook the ghosts,
At the bottom of the valley, it is impossible to see anything underneath, as if facing a deep pool. In the Valley of Ghosts, the power of demonic cultivators can be maximized, while the power of monks from the Righteous Alliance will be severely restricted.
Although the Yin Qi in Corpse Soul Valley is thicker, in the open space outside Yintian Gorge, the turbid Earth Spirit Qi also fills the entire world, dyeing the sky gray-black. At this time, a gust of cold wind sweeps over
, made Zhan Chen shiver. He seemed to have an illusion that there was an invisible yin energy going straight into his bone marrow. This feeling was quite bad!
Suddenly, black flags appeared on the horizon ahead, dancing wildly in the wind. Zhan Chen recognized them at once. They were the flags of the Corpse Soul Sect. Then he gradually saw figures appearing in his field of vision.
, like a group of black ants crawling on the ground, countless! Gradually, a huge army of demon cultivators revealed their ferocious appearance in front of them.
Zhan Chen tried to estimate the size of the Demonic Cultivators of the Corpse Soul Sect, and found that their number was nearly three times that of the righteous coalition forces! Apparently Yu Yukun had displayed all the elites of the Corpse Soul Sect here, preparing to fight to the death.
The two armies finally met, and they just hated each other. Although the battle had not officially started, the momentum of the two sides was already fighting fiercely in the air. Listen, the howling wind, isn't it just like the sound of shouting and fighting?
Kong Qiliang rose up to the sky and said loudly to the group of demon cultivators: "Demon cultivators of the Corpse Soul Sect, please listen carefully. Although there is no coexistence between good and evil, as long as you give up resistance and surrender, we can still leave you alone.
Life, if you persist in resisting, our Righteous Path Alliance will definitely wipe out all of you and reduce your bones to ashes!"
In the camp of demon cultivators on the opposite side, there was also a person who flew high into the sky, facing Kong Qiliang from a distance. He was Yu Yukun, the current head of the Corpse Soul Sect, a powerful demon with the Great Perfection of Immortal Yuan cultivation.
Yu Yukun shouted to Kong Qiliang: "Are you Kong Qiliang?"
"good."
"Kong Qiliang, let me tell you, don't think that your Righteous Alliance has defeated us. This is the base camp of our Corpse Soul Sect, and the defense is impregnable. Even you, a strong soul, can't even think of breaking through our defense. You just persuaded us to surrender.
Isn't this a joke? If we fall into your hands, we will die without death, so we will not surrender. On the contrary, I would like to advise you, Elder Kong, to withdraw your troops quickly, otherwise this place will become your right path.
The coalition’s nightmare!”
"Humph, you are so stubborn, it seems we just have to take action!" Kong Qiliang snorted coldly.
Yu Yukun laughed and said: "Hahaha, you don't need to tell me, we have already prepared, let me start the formation!"
As he spoke, he activated the jade talisman in his hand. Zhan Chen could clearly see the red light glowing behind the Corpse Soul Sect army. It was obvious that a huge spiritual formation had been activated!
Zhan Chen identified it carefully, and immediately exclaimed: "This is the Hell Demon Subduing Array!" Yes, he has already seen this summoning array, and it can summon a monster comparable to the Yuan Shen Realm - the Hell's Horn
Weird. Zhan Chen will never forget the horror of this monster. A trace of deep worry flashed in his eyes. Is Elder Kong Qiliang a match for this monster?
A huge spiritual formation appeared out of thin air, and then the hell horned monster reappeared in the world. As soon as this monster appeared, it let out a thundering roar in the direction of the righteous coalition forces, frightening everyone and holding their hands.
Unable to hold back the sword in their hands, the demon cultivators on the other side let out excited howls, as if they had seen the sight of the hell horned monster charging into the enemy formation and wreaking havoc at will.
Just when people's hearts were fluctuating, Kong Qiliang suddenly shouted: "Everyone, don't panic. The hell horned monster is just a dead thing. He can't be compared with the real Yuanshen realm powerhouse. Don't worry, everyone, I will soon
You will see this!"
Kong Qiliang's words seemed to have a huge magic power, which immediately soothed the military's morale, and everyone's eyes rekindled their confidence. Yes, compared with the misnamed Yuanshen realm powerhouse opposite, they have a real person here.
A strong person in the Yuan Shen Realm!
"Haha, Kong Qiliang, let's have a taste of the power of the Hell's One-Horned Monster!" At this moment, Yu Yukun's gloating laughter came from the opposite side, and then he waved his big hand, and the Hell's One-Horned Monster took big steps towards it.
It rushed towards the direction of the righteous coalition forces, like a crazy bullfight.
Facing this overwhelming force, everyone was helpless and couldn't help but focus on Kong Qiliang.
