Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 447: Chapter 216: Home Invasion_5

The Snow Wolf King’s eyes were filled with horror, and its form retreated continuously.

The White Mountain Monarch’s death was too strange; although the few Great Demons weren’t far away, the clash stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, and the White Mountain Monarch’s massive body just happened to obstruct their view.

So they didn’t see how Shen Wen’an actually killed the White Mountain Monarch.

It was as if after the White Mountain Monarch charged forward, it suddenly withdrew its Demon Element Shield, allowing the dense golden flying swords to end its life.

Clearly, the White Mountain Monarch definitely wasn’t seeking death on its own.

The Snow Wolf King could only assume there was some unknown bizarre ability with those golden flying swords, and absolutely didn’t dare to face them head-on.

After killing the White Mountain Monarch, Shen Wen’an proudly stood in the void, his gaze swept toward Lan Jue and the others.

”Which other Daoist friend wishes to come and offer guidance?”

Facing his gaze, the demons looked at each other, seeing the solemn expressions on each other’s faces.

The White Mountain Monarch’s strength was considered relatively strong amongst the commanders at Great Witch Mountain.

Yet it had mysteriously died in just dozens of breaths earlier.

The remaining demons naturally didn’t dare to step forward easily.

At the Void Combination Corridor Array, atop a mountain peak.

The Celestial Fox Demon King gazed her beautiful eyes toward the direction of Cloud Water City.

With her cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, she could easily discern all the details of the previous battle.

”That white light seems like a magic sword...”

”Being able to silently ignore the Demon Element Shield and directly kill the White Mountain Monarch’s divine spirit is truly mysterious.”

”It seems Great Witch Mountain has indeed hit a hard obstacle this time...”

After muttering a few words, the Celestial Fox Demon King’s voice formed a line, transmitting orders to Lan Jue.

In front of Cloud Water City, Lan Jue was considering whether to continue the attack when suddenly the Celestial Fox Demon King’s voice sounded in his ear.

He immediately held his breath and focused, listening carefully.

Moments later, with a respectful expression, he paid his respects toward the direction of the Void Combination Corridor Array, then turned to face Shen Wen’an.

”The Aunt has ordered, we attack together!”

Upon hearing this, the Black Ape and the Snow Wolf King, great demons beside him, immediately roused their demon essence to prepare to strike.

But at this moment, Lan Jue’s voice simultaneously sounded in their ears.

”Don’t go all out, focus on saving yourselves, make it more imposing.”

The demons didn’t understand, but kept it in mind silently.

Thus, a grand battle began to erupt above Cloud Water City.

Shen Wen’an initially thought this would be a hard-fought battle, even ready to gamble everything.

But as they fought, he realized that the few Great Demons opposite were timid in their gestures, completely holding back.

Whenever his Dragon Soul Magical Sword attacked, they collectively retreated, cautiously defending themselves.

”What are they doing?”

”Is this a performance?”

Shen Wen’an was puzzled, but he didn’t dare let his guard down.

Fighting for several days, with his sword essence exhausted, he hid within the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array, using the array to withstand several individuals’ attacks.

Lan Jue and the demons would then take the opportunity to crazily attack the array.

This forced Shen Yuan in the city to let people use a large amount of spirit crystals on the array to replenish its energy.

Shen Wen’an knew their family couldn’t afford this sort of wear and tear, so he restored some sword essence before stepping out to meet the enemies.

And once he appeared, the demons carefully tangled with him again.

With the month’s grand harvest deadline approaching, both sides stalled in this manner.

Meanwhile.

In the grand courtyard of the West Wilderness Grassland, Shen Chongming led a group of Shen Family cultivators who had already fought their way inside.

The thousand Shen Family cultivators, now just recovering from a brutal battle, were expediting the cleanup of the battlefield.

”Brother, found it!”

In the busy crowd, Shen You suddenly shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming flashed to her side, gazing at the secret stone door before them, feeling the rich spiritual energy behind the stone door, a smile appeared on his face.

”Everyone, step back.”

He slowly clenched his fist, arcs of electricity converged on it.

Boom!

The stone door before them was smashed open by his fist.

After the dust settled, what appeared before them was a large cache of spirit crystals, spirit ore, and various spirit herbs and medicines.

”So much!”

Shen You waved away the lingering dust, her eyes turning into crescent moons at the sight of the enormous pile of good stuff inside.

”Quickly finish, then go help your second brother and them.”

Upon hearing this, Shen You and Mu Chang went in first with storage bags to sweep a batch; after the storage bags were full, other Shen Family cultivators used large beast-hide bags to store them.

Soon, all the cultivation resources within the stone chamber were cleared out by the people.

Elsewhere, Shen Chonghong and He Zhongyi led another group of Shen Family cultivators, plundering the spirit mines and spirit fields under the Great Witch Mountain’s Demon Cave.

Most of these spirit mines were previously owned by the Shen Family, with some belonging to Qiyun Valley.

Later, as the Shen Family retreated to Cloud Water City, Qiyun Valley was forced to withdraw, allowing them to be seized by Great Witch Mountain.

Though the demon cultivators lacked interest in governance, spirit fields and mines couldn’t be neglected.

After all, demon cultivators needed spirit crystals, spirit rice, and elixirs for cultivation. The spirit ore extracted, even if they had no use for them, could be taken back to the Southern Border to sell or have someone refine into magical artifacts.

All this was Shen Chongming’s most important plan for the grand harvest.

The six demon cultivator factions of the Southern Border coveted the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain’s blood food, using the grand harvest plan to deceive them both.

Shen Chongming willingly agreed, having devised this strategy.

Before the grand harvest began, he relocated all the common people under their territory to Cloud Water City, leaving a few empty cities for them to raid as they pleased.
