Three thousand miles south of "Tonggui Ridge", more than forty demons were standing side by side, and from time to time they were whispering to each other.
A middle-aged demon cultivator named Wu and a demon cultivator with short hair stood in the crowd, their spiritual consciousness constantly exploring the direction of "Tonggui Ridge".
There, more than twenty demon soldiers and South China Sea monks were continuously launching a series of attacks on the formation below.
"Brother Wu, the team of monks who took over the defense today finally arrived. Otherwise, the order issued by Lord Tiedong two days ago to capture Fengliang Mountain within five days would have been difficult to accomplish."
"Five days! These past two days have been really hard to endure. We have endured until today and have taken a huge risk. If the news of the replacement is false, then the previous two days will be wasted.
In the past two days, we did not use our spiritual sense to repeatedly explore Fengliang Mountain, for fear of attracting the attention of the enemy cultivators. Previously, there were fluctuations in spiritual power from a large number of cultivators flying, and I guess they had just completed a change of guard.
Lord Tiedong can't wait any longer, haha, and orders us to launch an all-out attack as soon as the other party takes over.
The reason why I let the attacking team launch a long-range attack before getting close is to see how fast the opponent will react.
The result is that the reaction of the opponent's formation is obviously one or two times slower than a few days ago. This should be a phenomenon that only occurs when a novice is not familiar with the situation. "
While the two were talking, suddenly the expressions on the faces of the demon cultivator surnamed Wu and the demon cultivator with short hair froze, then they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"It's the same trick, trying to lure us into the magic array. However, the speed of this array's changes is much slower. Now stop the attack in front of you and retreat.
I'm here to inform Master Tiedong that we're going to break their 'turtle shells' in one fell swoop this time. Let's see how long these monks can hold out in a head-on confrontation without any cover or obstruction."
After the monk surnamed Wu finished speaking quickly, he immediately took out a sound transmission talisman, whispered something, and threw it out with his hand. The sound transmission talisman quickly disappeared into the sky.
The short-haired demon cultivator immediately sent a sound transmission note to the demon soldiers who were attacking in front, ordering them to stop attacking immediately and retreat.
Then the short-haired demon cultivator said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, you are responsible for attacking in more directions. Later, I and the other Daoists will be responsible for taking down 'Tonggui Ridge'."
After the cultivator surnamed Wu nodded, he felt relieved about the short-haired demon cultivator, not to mention that he really had to take into account the attacks from other defensive points.
Among the more than 20 demon soldiers attacking "Tonggui Ridge", the short and strong demon cultivator who had met Li Yan in the courtyard of "Zhouyang Town" and another demon cultivator beside him attacked the "Tonggui Ridge" below.
The short and strong demon cultivator looked down at the place where they were attacking. There were already several collapsed sub-peaks, trees flying everywhere, piles of rubble, and it was a mess in the smoke and fire.
After watching for a while, the short and strong demon cultivator said to the demon cultivator beside him, "Look at the situation below. Was it really caused by us?"
The demon cultivator he was asking about was no longer the one who had served as his deputy captain in the courtyard. That person had fallen into Feng Liangshan's trap in a battle half a month ago, and ended up dying along with four cultivators from the Wild Moon Continent.
"It shouldn't be. It could be an illusion created by the enemy's formation. This situation has happened many times. Whenever we send people in, they fall into the enemy's formation and are trapped by them."
After the demon cultivator carefully scanned the area several times with his spiritual sense, he said this, but there was uncertainty in his tone. Each of their teams was responsible for attacking one direction of "Tonggui Ridge".
However, the formations of these human monks are much more delicate than those of the demons. This is a huge difference from the grand and open formations of the demons.
Just like the current situation below, when they explored with their spiritual sense, they could not tell the truth from the false for a moment.
It was just like the scene after every attack they had made in the past month. The other side either saw the collapse of the formation, the collapse of mountains and caves, or there were large numbers of monks' bodies killed tragically.
This made the demon cultivators really think that they had broken through their defenses at first, but every time they sent someone forward a step, the cultivators immediately disappeared without a trace. It was not until this time that they realized the power of the opponent's formation illusion.
When they encountered this incident again during the attack later, although they were on guard, the purpose of the attack was to occupy, so even if they suspected it was an illusion, they still had to find a way to find out.
The final result was that a large number of monks suffered heavy casualties time and time again. Although some people escaped, they were covered in wounds.
This time was no exception. Before our eyes we saw another devastating scene, with smoke rising everywhere, rocks collapsing and earth cracking on the mountains, and debris flying everywhere.
The short and strong demon cultivator even saw the spiritual shields of the cultivators from the Desolate Moon Continent in the formation flashing with light, and they were looking up at him warily. For a moment, the short and strong demon cultivator was not sure whether it was an illusion.
"Send two monks from the South China Sea and you will find out."
After another demon cultivator scanned the area repeatedly with his spiritual sense, he helplessly discovered that he still could not tell whether the area below was an illusion of the formation, so a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Then, he immediately lowered his head and said to the monks who had just stopped attacking diagonally below him, "You, you, go and see if this formation has been broken!"
After those monks stopped casting spells, they felt confused and numb in their hearts, not knowing when they would be able to escape from this situation.
If they had not had relatives who fell into the hands of the evil cultivators, they would have been deliberately beaten to death in battles with other cultivators from the Wild Moon Continent.
The two monks who were named paused for a moment, and a sense of sadness rose in their hearts. They had seen this kind of thing many times before, and today it finally happened to them. Although their hearts had long been numb, seeing others' instant death was just a flash of brilliant fireworks, when it really happened to them, the feeling of grief for the rabbit's death suddenly surged in their hearts.
"Junior brother, I will go first this time. You follow behind. If you find something wrong, immediately give a warning and turn back. With an advance warning, those demons will not make things difficult for you. Don't they just want a clear result?"
The older cultivator among the two quietly transmitted a message to the younger cultivator beside him, saying that in this group of demon cultivators, only the two of them were left among the disciples of his sect who had died.
The monks around them were only recently recruited and were unfamiliar with the situation. They were now looking at them with pity.
Since both of them could die, the older cultivator thought about it and sighed in his heart. He didn't want to die either, but if he told his junior brother who would go down first at this time, the evil cultivator behind him would probably activate the restriction token directly.
By then, both of them had lost their minds and died in a daze.
When he thought about how his junior brother had blocked the opponent's attack and saved his life some time ago, he hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.
"Brother..."
After hearing what his senior brother said, the younger brother let out a low cry, but his senior brother had already taken a step forward and headed downwards.
At this moment, the two demon cultivators in the back suddenly froze in expression at the same time, and the demon cultivator immediately stopped them, "You two, come back, we're retreating!"
The sudden shouting made the two South China Sea monks in front startled at first. They immediately stopped and turned back in confusion. They saw that the demon monk was signaling them with his eyes to go back quickly.
Although the two South China Sea monks did not understand what was going on for a moment, they immediately felt as if they had survived a calamity. The two brothers looked at each other, then waved their arms and quickly flew backwards.
They were thinking about how to live longer and deal with the rest later. The rest of the South China Sea cultivators were also confused and fixed their eyes on the two demon cultivators. This kind of thing was extremely rare. The order to retreat would only be issued when the two sides were in a stalemate and suffered heavy casualties.
However, the expressions on the faces of the two demon cultivators showed that they were also confused and inexplicably unwilling.
In the large formation below, Wu Ye and his group of cultivators were looking up at the sky. Although the sky had become extremely dark, they could still see the situation outside clearly.
There was a group of cultivators who were attacking the formation desperately without sparing their spiritual energy. Even though Wu Ye and his companions were in the formation, they could still feel the deafening sound and the violent spiritual power fluctuations coming from the formation.
After they attacked for a while, Wu Ye had already received Li Yan's message, and the monks above all stopped casting their spells.
With the aftermath of the explosion of various colors, Wu Ye and the others could see clearly that it was a team of more than 20 people, with two demons in the back staring at them with scorching eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Li has transformed this place into a destroyed area. These people will attack us soon. We are ready to attack at any time."
Wu Ye immediately realized that the other party had been affected by the illusion of the formation, and immediately sent a message.
As Wu Ye finished speaking, many cultivators behind him began to become nervous, and the time for the two sides to fight face to face was about to come.
However, there are also many people who are extremely relaxed. When these cultivators and demon cultivators come down later, although it is said that not every one of them can be separated individually, some cultivators can still be isolated in different areas.
Their first wave of attack must be a sneak attack on the enemy. In this case, it should not be difficult and their casualties must be very few.
Sure enough, after the monks above stopped attacking, two monks with pale faces and vigilant expressions flew towards them below. One of the monks moved a little faster and was already close to the entrance of the death gate of the formation.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, the two cultivators, one in front and one behind, suddenly stopped when they were about to approach the entrance of the Death Gate, and at the same time they also heard the voice of a demon cultivator shouting to stop them.
Li Yan was using his spiritual sense to scan every part of the formation outside. He was judging the fluctuations of spiritual power at each attack point and feeling the strength of the enemy.
Then, according to the extent of the opponent's attack, control the compass, so that some parts of the formation will begin to transform into ever-changing illusions.
As the illusory scenes of the attack points appeared one after another, Li Yan scanned them with his spiritual sense and felt that he was doing everything in an orderly manner. No matter whether the enemy believed it or not, at least he felt that he was very careful and did not ignore any details.
Some of the blind spots that were temporarily opened were the places where the attacks were most fierce. According to this effect, the opponent should make some progress.
All of this was created silently by him, and it seemed very reasonable and natural to him.
Just when he had just opened a few death gates, the other demon cultivators began to send people forward to investigate, but suddenly, these demon cultivators who were attacking in different places of "Tonggui Ridge" were ordered to stop investigating.
This change came too suddenly, not only was it beyond the expectations of Wu Ye and the others, but Li Yan saw even more. In Li Yan's incomprehensible eyes, he saw the hundreds of people who had just rushed over with such momentum.
As if they had received a voice order at the same time, after launching only one wave of powerful attacks, they all retreated to the south.
Faced with this strange attack, even though Li Yan had not participated in the battle between the two sides, a sense of unknown uneasiness had already arisen in his heart!
