[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!]
"Victory through surprise; from the moment the Primordial Blood Tree arrived, the plan was already in motion."
Li Wei sneered at the Beast Division High Priest, who was still in a bewildered, hysterical state in the sky.
After the Primordial Blood Tree broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it gained innate abilities: Sky Curtain and Suppressing Heavenly Secrets. These could be integrated into techniques and could block others from divining.
And before that, the Primordial Blood Tree already possessed the ability 'Blood Boundary Formation'!
From the moment the Primordial Blood Tree appeared, red snow began to fall from the sky, and the entire Azure Cloud region border city turned blood-red; this was already the beginning of Li Yunbing's plan! Otherwise, why would the Primordial Blood Tree, which had needed years accumulating blood to make red snow all over Green Valley Town back then, expend so much of its accumulated reserves again at the border of Azure Cloud region?
Even his initial appearance, putting on airs, was all just to paralyze the Wu Clan into complacency, making those Priests and High Priests, who already believed victory was assured, think he was just playing tricks.
Paralyze them, and paralyze them again!
It was for this reason that the Primordial Blood Tree expended a vast amount of Heaven and Earth spirit Qi.
Following that came Xu Cuihua's technique!
She originally possessed 'Demonic Words', which itself could confound people's minds. After becoming the Thousand-Charm Sky Fox, her seductive power was even greater, and the Technique allowed her to influence people's minds at any time!
The 'Sky Fox Descends to the Mortal Realm Technique' allowed her to transform into a fox demon, further enabling her to mask others' perceptions. The moment the great battle began, she had already used 'Thousand Phantom Shadows' to frantically deflect attacks aimed at the Primordial Blood Tree. Her purpose wasn't to protect the Primordial Blood Tree, but to conceal both of their auras together.
Afterwards...
The army silently arrived at Azure Cloud region, catching the Wu Clan completely off guard. By being prepared against an unprepared enemy, they made up for their deficiency in combat strength!
...
At this moment, the cultivators charging out from within the Azure Cloud region had already engaged in battle with the Wu Clan. In the sky and on the ground, the shockwaves from the collision of cultivators techniques and Wu Clan techniques spread everywhere; the power of the Five Elements extended for more than a thousand li! (500 kilometers or 310 miles)
One after another, the forces that had once withdrawn from the Azure Cloud region had returned to their homeland!
They returned, bringing with them all of Azure Cloud region's fighting forces. Stepping back onto their homeland, though vastly outnumbered by the six Divisions of the Wu Clan, not a single one of them showed fear.
"We once fled! We were once going to the Northern Territory!"
Region Prince's Feng Chunlin veins bulged, and he carried the coffin prepared for himself as he charged toward a priest. His voice resonated in the ears of the Azure Cloud region cultivators, "But we still couldn't abandon our homeland! I, Feng Chunlin, swear by the name of Region Prince that I will never retreat another inch in this life!"
"To hell with the Northern Territory! To the eighteenth generation of their ancestors with that escape! You Wu Clan bastards, I, Lan Jing (Grand Elder of the Black Tortoise Sect), have returned!"
"Azure Cloud region will not fall!"
"Disciples of the Ghost Eye Sect, form the formation! Today, we open the gates of the Netherworld, and fight to the last man!"
"..."
At this moment, all the cultivators of the Azure Cloud region were charging forward!
Each and every one of them fought recklessly as if everything they had experienced 130,000 years ago was reappearing. 130,000 years ago, the Azure Cloud region gained its name; today, 130,000 years later, these inheritors have not betrayed the expectations of their ancestors.
Even if they didn't know what the future held, they would still fight.
At this very moment.
Under Li Yunbing's scheme, they formed the sharpest point of a spear, shattering the boundless tide formed by the Wu Clan!
...
"Despicable Azure Cloud region cultivators!"
The Beast Division High Priest, gazing at his clansmen who had still not reformed their ranks, fought furiously against the Feng Family's eldest ancestor. He glared at Li Yunbing, who still sat there calmly. That scoundrel wouldn't even look at him, yet he was constantly affecting his state of mind. He roared, "Do you really think such petty, underhanded schemes can reverse Azure Cloud region's decline?!?!"
"You have lost! The Azure Dynasty has abandoned you! Even with your countless schemes, you are merely struggling in your death throes!"
"Even if our six tribes retreat today, more tribes will come tomorrow. Azure Cloud region has already been ceded to our Wu Clan. Within our Wu Clan's territory, and not at war with the Azure Dynasty, once a Divinity Transformation stage cultivator appears, you will be nothing but lambs awaiting slaughter! Let's see how long you can remain so rampant!"
At these words.
Li Yunbing finally furrowed his brow slightly. He said impatiently, "So impetuous and anxious, are you, a worthless piece of trash, even fit to make noise in this one's ears?"
"You..."
With just that one sentence, and coupled with the disdain in Li Yunbing's expression, the Beast Division High Priest lost control of his composure once again. The Raging Sky Flood Dragon let out a wild laugh and suddenly charged towards the myriad beasts conjured by the Beast Division High Priest's Heaven and Earth spirit Qi. The phantom images of demonic beasts in front were scattered by the Raging Sky Flood Dragon. The failure of this spiritual contest caused the Beast Division High Priest to violently cough up a mouthful of blood!
The Beast Division High Priest dared not speak another word, as he no longer had the strength to fight against the Raging Sky Flood Dragon. He abruptly retreated.
Just as he was about to seek out another High Priest to jointly fight the Raging Sky Flood Dragon, his expression changed. A chieftain from the Beast Division charged out from the boundless forest, having clearly exhausted an untold amount of spiritual power, his soul already flickering and on the verge of collapse.
That chieftain didn't join the battle upon entering the battlefield; instead, he rushed toward a Priest who was currently fighting. Even though he was accidentally injured by stray Heaven and Earth spirit Qi, he still shrieked desperately, "Lord Priest, High Priest! Hurry, hurry back! Our Division tribe... is destroyed!"
"Who?!! What happened?!?!"
The Beast Division High Priest teleported instantly, fiercely grasping the chieftain's shoulders, but the chieftain died instantly.
The Beast Division High Priest, his neck stiff, turned his head with difficulty to look at Li Yunbing, who maintained a leisurely posture. His expression was filled with hatred. "Was it you?!?!"
"..."
On the battlefield, all the members of the Li family heard the Beast Division High Priest's roar and looked at Li Yunbing in unison. The Seven Ironclad and many of the children who had been persecuted by Li Yunbing felt their scalps tingle. The cultivators who had come out of the Thunderfire Demon Cave shuddered and gasped.
And then they looked at Li Yunbing's indifferent expression, as if everything was under control.
They thought to themselves, this guy, rotten to the core, must have done something utterly conscienceless again.
But what they didn't know was that Li Yunbing, maintaining his previous expression, was making the biggest decision of his life.
"Although I also don't know what happened, if I keep up this imposing demeanor, I'll definitely make the youngsters admire me to the point of prostration."
"Brilliant."
