"How is this possible? How could this possibly be?!?!"
The Beast Division High Priest's face was ashen.
The ground trembled, and all the Wu Clan members, shrinking back in terror, followed the furious roar of the Beast Division High Priest.
The Wu Clan warriors charging at the very front were instantly annihilated, reduced to dust by an overwhelming barrage of spirit artifacts, talismans... and the techniques and spiritual power of mighty cultivators!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
"Wooo--"
"Kill!"
Those were the sounds of war drums and horns, coming from within Azure Cloud region!
The Beast Division High Priest still stared blankly towards the Azure Cloud region.
As the Primordial Blood Tree weakened further, a breathtaking sight unfolded: within the border city of Azure Cloud region, in the skies above the territory of Azure Cloud region, spirit boats were arrayed in perfect formation!
Upon these spirit boats, countless cultivators were channeling their True Qi, launching attacks toward the Wu Clan army. From above, a myriad of talismans and artifacts rained down, and the sky was even filled with the formations laid out by the cultivators of Athe zure Cloud region!
One after another, cultivators from the Azure Cloud region soared through the air on their swords, flying towards the momentarily panicked Wu Clan army in areas untouched by the attacks launched from above.
On the ground as well, countless cultivators from Azure Cloud region surged out from the gates of Azure Cloud region's main city, charging forward with battle cries!
They had formed an orderly, crescent-shaped formation; instead, they were the ones encircling the Wu Clan. Judging solely by the battle formations, the Azure Cloud region had gained the upper hand.
"No, no! Is this an illusion?!?!"
Although he had rallied the Wu Clan to prepare in the shortest time possible, the Beast Division High Priest still couldn't believe what he was seeing. And it wasn't just him; all the Wu Clan experts were equally shocked!
Clearly, all the cultivators of the Azure Cloud region had already withdrawn.
So why had they returned?
Clearly, so many Wu Clan Priests and High Priests were present; their Nascent Souls could survey a thousand li beyond.
Why hadn't they detected the arrival of these experts from the Azure Cloud region?
Everything that had happened today felt so unreal, so bizarre, that it plunged the Beast Division High Priest into a nightmare.
"What have you done?!?!"
The Beast Division High Priest's eyes were bloodshot as he charged toward the man sitting on a throne above the border city. He recognized him: Li Yunbing of the Li Family! That scoundrel was still smiling mockingly, as if ridiculing his incompetence, as if watching the antics of a clown, making him want to rip that smile from his face!
Li Yunbing remained unmoved, his smile slowly driving the Beast Division High Priest into a frenzy. The eldest ancestor from the Feng Family had already intercepted the Beast Division High Priest!
The Heaven and Earth spirit Qi of both sides clashed fiercely for half an incense stick's time. Suddenly, the Beast Division High Priest glared furiously at Xu Cuihua, who had retreated back to the border city due to her injuries and was now sitting cross-legged in recovery, and at the Primordial Blood Tree, which had transformed into human form.
"It's you! It's you two, you despicable demons!"
Hearing this, Xu Cuihua and the old tree remained sitting cross-legged. Only the faint, derisive snorts escaping their nostrils revealed everything!
...
"Hahaha, as expected of our family's old fox, he's got these Wu Clan members completely fooled!"
Li Kuanghua unleashed the full power of her body cultivation. Her originally petite frame swelled with bulging, knotted muscles, making her stand upright like a savage bull, entering a state of frenzy. Now that she had reached the Golden Core realm, she wasn't so frenzied that she couldn't distinguish friend from foe. As she charged into the crowd alongside the other cultivators, she roared with laughter!
She remembered that back in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, Second Master Li Yunbing's achievements weren't just due to cunning schemes. She had once seen his desk buried under stacks of books, covering every inch of space. At the time, she had asked if he intended to walk the scholarly path. But Second Master had simply replied that reading wasn't about becoming a scholar—one couldn't hope to control those treacherous demonic cultivators and righteous cultivators in the Thunderfire Demon Cave with an empty head. Knowledge was power.
And today, these Wu Clan members would experience firsthand just how sharp a mind honed by countless books could be!
The two of them had spent the longest time in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, and they knew best just how sinister and cunning Second Master was!
In front of the screen, Li Wei, whose eyes were glowing white, coincidentally shifted the scene, catching sight of the three youngsters' private complaints. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The event log displayed the past clearly!
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, led the Li family forces back to the Azure Cloud region!]
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, waited on the road, and met Li Tianyi, who was leading the clansmen back!]
[They continued to wait, and met the returning Li clan members who were returning to their homeland, and the Primordial Blood Tree, which had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.]
[Special Event – Plotting War Against the Wu Clan]
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, did not recklessly lead the cultivators of Azure Cloud region directly back to Azure Cloud region. He knew full well that even with Azure Cloud region reunited, the assistance of the Region Prince's Mansion, and the aid of many righteous individuals coming from all directions, such as 'Mi Shufeng of the Mi Family' and 'Master Shenyu of Eternal Sun Prefecture', they were still outnumbered several times over by the six Divisions of the Wu Clan. He decided on a strategy of victory through surprise!]
