When he reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, he naturally knew the concepts of star fields and immortal cultivation stars.
Feng Tianxue shook her head and said, "It's not that they will kill us all, but it is true that they will further reduce our living space."
"Hmph, compressing our living space? It depends on whether they have good teeth. Fellow Daoist Feng, I asked you to come here to discuss with you about dispatching a group of people to sneak into the rear and destroy a few strongholds. What do you think?"
Jiao Yan said in a deep voice that the defense line of the demon race was too long. Relying on the huge number of demon beasts, they temporarily blocked the attack of the human race. However, the demon beasts had no human form and had no intelligence.
When humans and demons fight each other, there must be demons and half-demons in the transformation stage to command the demon beasts. Otherwise, the demon beasts will fight on their own and will not be able to effectively resist humans.
"Destroy a few strongholds? Small strongholds are useless. Large strongholds may be guarded by old monsters who have reached the state of transformation. Attacking a large stronghold is a death wish."
Feng Tianxue looked hesitant.
"Zhao Qiankun of the Righteous Alliance is leading the team. Li Zhixuan of Penglai Island and Song Yan of Sanxian Island are all out. The three major forces should not have any Divine Transformation cultivators. We can attack strongholds with abundant strategic materials. Sanxian Island is our main target of attack. How about we attack the affiliated forces of Sanxian Island?"
Jiao Yan suggested.
Feng Tianxue shook her head and said, "Affiliated forces of the Three Immortals Island? No, there are my people inside the Three Immortals Island, and it would be bad if they were accidentally injured. Let's go to the Righteous Alliance!"
"The Righteous Alliance has my people, let's go to Penglai Island! But to be on the safe side, we should also send people to attack Sanxian Island and the Righteous Alliance. We don't need to send too many people, just enough to confuse the human race."
Jiao Yan rejected Feng Tianxue's proposal and planned to focus on Penglai Island.
"No problem. We have spies within the human race. Will the human race also have spies within us?"
Feng Tianxue raised a very serious question. There has not been a major war between the human and demon races for tens of thousands of years. This does not mean that the two races are not on guard. Since the demon race can plant spies in the human race, the human race can also plant spies in the demon race.
Use coercion and inducement, follow the will and live, go against the will and die, it’s simple and brutal.
"There should be. Everyone present is a pure-blooded demon. There is no half-demon. There shouldn't be any problem. You should keep your mouths shut and don't leak any information. Violators will be severely punished."
Jiao Yan's face darkened, filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, ancestor."
Jiao Feng and the others agreed in unison with respectful expressions.
Jiao Yan and Feng Tianxue discussed for more than half an hour, and the two sides agreed to send seven demons in the transformation stage to lead a team with more than fifty fourth-level monsters to sneak into the rear of the three major forces to cause trouble.
The forces sent by the demon clan cannot be resisted at all without a divine cultivator in charge.
Both the human and demon races sent out a group of elite troops to infiltrate the other side's rear and cause trouble.
······
An oval-shaped island with flat terrain. There are more than ten hills over a hundred feet high and sparse vegetation.
A small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is no grass in the valley and the ground is covered with yellow-brown stones. It looks rather desolate.
A green light appeared in the distant sky, quickly swept across the sky, and after a few flashes, appeared in the sky above the valley.
The green light faded, revealing a flying boat shining with green light, with a mini flying crane carved on it.
Jiang Qingshu and sixty other monks stood on the green flying boat. They had different expressions, some nervous, some worried, some excited.
Han Zhangxiang's face was solemn. A long-distance raid was very dangerous. If he could complete this mission, he wouldn't have to participate in the next battle. This was a good thing.
Fairy Hanyue had a look of vigilance on her face, thinking in her mind how to persuade everyone to attack Chijiao Island. After all, Jiao Yan had placed a magical treasure on Chijiao Island, which was left for her.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you sure we're going to meet here?"
Han Chaoyang opened his spiritual sense and scanned the entire island, but did not find any other cultivators.
Other cultivators used their spiritual sense to investigate the situation on the island, but found nothing.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Han, you should know Madam Sun, the eldest disciple of Senior Song!"
Jiang Qingshu said with a chuckle.
Han Chaoyang suddenly realized and said, "Of course I know him. I heard that Madam Sun raised a Thousand Illusion Butterfly. Could it be that this spirit butterfly has advanced to the fourth level? Is the Thousand Illusion Butterfly's illusion so powerful?"
Thousand Illusion Butterfly ranks 33rd on the List of Strange Insects in the World. It is good at illusions and is hard to guard against.
True Man Chihe flipped his hand and took out a small mirror that was shining red. On the back of the mirror was engraved a miniature red flying crane. He injected magic power into it, and a red light flashed. A red misty glow swept out and covered the area below. The red glow kept moving, and he did not find anything abnormal.
The red glow fell in the valley, and dozens of human figures could be seen, looming.
"Fellow Daoist Han really guessed it right. I never thought that Fellow Daoist Han would go to the Righteous Dao League."
A smiling female voice suddenly sounded,
As soon as he finished speaking, a green light appeared in the valley, and the entire valley suddenly disappeared, revealing a lush forest. Sun Yaoyao and forty other cultivators stood in the forest, which was filled with a green mist.
Most of the affiliated forces of the Three Immortals Island knew how to drive away insects and tame beasts, and they all raised spiritual beasts and insects. Therefore, the Three Immortals Island sent out forty monks to carry out the harassment mission.
A green spirit butterfly over ten feet in size was flying around above Sun Yaoyao's head. Its body was covered with light golden patterns, it had a pair of golden antennae on its head, and its eyes were dark green.
The Thousand Illusion Butterfly is a mid-level fourth-grade butterfly that is proficient in illusion techniques.
A flash of surprise passed through Han Zhangxiang's eyes. The world of immortal cultivation was truly full of wonders. The illusion created by the Thousand Illusion Butterfly had actually deceived so many masters. If it weren't for the rare treasure of True Man Chihe, they might not have discovered it.
"Even if there are Thousand Illusion Butterflies, how do you conceal the auras of so many people?"
True Man Chihe was puzzled. He was a casual cultivator, and it was not easy for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. He did not know much about strange insects and beasts.
"Hehe, this is where my Hundred-Eyed Toad comes in handy."
A thin middle-aged man chuckled, his face full of pride.
The middle-aged man had three long beards, wore a green Taoist robe, a tall hat and a wide belt, and had his hands crossed on his chest.
A green toad as big as a house was lying behind him. There were hundreds of fist-sized green eyeballs all over the green toad's body, and even its claws had eyes.
The Hundred-Eyed Toad let out a somewhat noisy roar, opened its bloody mouth, and green mist suddenly poured into its mouth and disappeared.
The Hundred-Eyed Toad has the blood of the Sky-Swallowing Toad and can spray out a special mist to achieve the effect of restraining the breath. There are too many strange insects and beasts in the world of immortal cultivation, and the magical powers of some mutated monsters are completely unknown to outsiders.
When Han Zhangxiang saw the Hundred-Eyed Toad, he thought of Han Changming's Thunder Rhinoceros Insect. Han Changming asked him to help keep an eye out for news about the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.
The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect is a mutated spiritual insect that cannot be found in the world of immortal cultivation. Han Changming naturally does not know what magical powers this spiritual insect will master when it grows to a high level.
"The Three Immortals Island is indeed quite capable. No wonder you only sent forty people. With the cooperation of the Thousand Illusion Butterflies and the Hundred-Eyed Toads, it shouldn't be easy for the demons to find us."
True Man Chihe smiled and said that the greater the magical powers of the cultivators on the Three Immortals Island, the safer they would be.
"Nothing is absolute in this world. Some demons have a keen sense of smell and can still detect abnormalities. Don't put all your hopes on the Hundred-Eyed Toad."
A graceful girl reminded him. She was wearing a water blue double-breasted waisted skirt, indigo eyebrows, a slender waist and fair skin. On each of her arms was a blue jade bracelet that glowed constantly.
"Let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Gu Feilong, and this is Fairy Wu Yunxiu."
Sun Yaoyao pointed at the middle-aged Taoist priest and the girl in blue skirt and introduced them.
Jiang Qingshu also introduced Hanyue Fairy and others to Sun Yaoyao. Sun Yaoyao was a little surprised to learn that Han Chaoyang was the leader of a team.
"Friend Han, why did you go to the Righteous Alliance?"
Sun Yaoyao's gaze fell on Han Chaoyang and said meaningfully.
"I went to Haoran City to do some work and happened to catch up. How dare I disobey Senior Zhao's order?"
Han Chaoyang explained that he remembered something and asked, "Madam Sun, how are my people?"
"Four Jindan cultivators died. The demon race focused on taking care of our Three Immortal Islands. There were 23 Yuanying cultivators who died, not to mention the Jindan cultivators."
Sun Yaoyao sighed, with a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes.
You know, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators on the Three Immortals Island have fourth-order spirit beasts or spirit birds. Even so, twenty-three Nascent Soul cultivators still died, which shows how fierce the battle was.
"Haven't the people from Penglai Island arrived yet?"
Jiang Qingshu started talking about serious matters and frowned.
"Maybe they were delayed on the way, let's wait a while!"
Sun Yaoyao explained.
Jiang Qingshu nodded, made a gesture, and the Qinghe Boat slowly landed on the ground, and the monks got off.
Han Guanglin, the head of the Han family on Jinjiao Island, was also in the team. He and a red-robed old man in his sixties walked quickly to Han Chaoyang with excited expressions.
The old man in red robe had a goatee, kind eyes, and his left arm was missing.
The Han family of Jinjiao Island currently arranges their generations according to Qi Zi Da Chao Tang, Chuan Jia Shi De Guang, Shu Lin Wen Guo Mei, and Cai Xue Yong Long Chang. The old man in the red robe is called Han Defeng, and he is in the late Jindan stage.
Han Chaoyang is not on Jinjiao Island, and a lot of manpower has been recruited from the Han family. Currently, four Jindan cultivators have died in the battle, and all of them have received compensation and pensions.
"Grandfather, I am glad to see you. It is all my fault that many of my people have been killed."
Han Guanglin choked up and looked sad.
"It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much. By the way, how is Wenlong?"
Han Chaoyang asked in a voice transmission, looking nervous.
Han Wenlong is the greatest hope of the Han family on Jinjiao Island. He has a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage and is currently striving to reach that stage.
"He is still in seclusion, and he will probably come out soon. I hope he can advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
Han Guanglin explained.
Han Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good, as long as Wenlong is okay."
Three days passed quickly, and the monks from Penglai Island had not yet appeared.
Sun Yaoyao and Jiang Qingshu frowned. Did something happen to the monks on Penglai Island? This shouldn't be the case!
"Madam Sun, do you know the route the monks from Penglai Island are taking? Why haven't they arrived yet in such a long time?"
Jiang Qingshu asked doubtfully.
"How could I know? It shouldn't be possible!"
Sun Yaoyao was completely confused and looked incredulous.
"I'm sorry to have kept you two waiting. Something went wrong on the way and we were delayed for a few days."
A strong male voice sounded.
Just as he finished speaking, a ray of black light streaked across the sky, and after a few flashes, it landed on the valley.
The escaping light faded, revealing a black flying boat over ten feet long. Chen Xiong and sixty other people stood in the black flying boat, and True Man Tiansha was also inside.
If it weren't for this war, Tiansha Zhenren would never appear here.
"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Jiang, Madam Sun, we encountered monsters attacking the island on the way, so we were delayed for a while."
Chen Xiong clasped his hands together, his face full of apology.
"It's okay. It won't affect the overall situation. Now that we're all here, let's discuss which stronghold of the demon tribe to attack!"
Jiang Qingshu called a meeting of the Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Jindan cultivators just had to obey his orders.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Madam Sun, which base of the demon tribe do Senior Zhao and Senior Song plan to attack?"
Chen Xiong asked in a deep voice. There were a total of 160 people, 40 of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and the remaining 120 were Core Formation cultivators.
"My master is optimistic about Xuanhe Island, but he said that he wanted me to discuss with the two Taoist friends about which stronghold to attack. What does your master think?"
Jiang Qingshu asked.
"My master's meaning is the same as Senior Zhao's. Let us discuss it on our own and be flexible."
Sun Yaoyao's expression was serious. The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, so he naturally couldn't stick to a rigid rule.
Chen Xiong nodded and said, "My master also means the same thing. Let's discuss it!"
"A single team is weak, and if we combine them, there is a risk of annihilation. I suggest that we split into two teams, each with 20 Yuanying cultivators and 60 Jindan cultivators, to attack the two strongholds of the demon clan. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."
Jiang Qingshu suggested.
"I agree. Our single team is too weak. The demon tribe can mobilize a large number of fourth-level demon beasts to help. Once we attack the demon tribe's stronghold, we are likely to be blocked by the demon tribe. It is better to split into two teams to carry out the mission."
Fairy Hanyue expressed her own opinion.
"Are two teams too few? I want to split it into five teams, which will be more flexible."
Chen Xiong said with a frown.
Other Nascent Soul cultivators spoke up one after another and expressed their suggestions.
After negotiating for more than half an hour, the cultivators reached a consensus and divided into two teams, each with eighty people, including twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and sixty Jindan cultivators. The two teams would act independently and each choose their targets.
This can take advantage of numbers and prevent information leaks that could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
In order to be fair, the teams will be decided by drawing lots.
Han Chaoyang, Han Linsheng and Han Guanglin are in the same team, led by Jiang Qingshu and Sun Yaoyao. Han Zhangxiang and Han Defeng are in another team, led by Chen Xiong and Hanyue Fairy.
In this way, Han Chaoyang would not be able to take care of Han Zhangxiang and Han Defeng.
Han Changying did not expect such a situation to happen. This was a method agreed upon by most Nascent Soul cultivators, and he could not go back on his word. He could only urge Han Zhangxiang and Han Defeng to be more careful.
"Okay, let's go our separate ways!"
Jiang Qingshu summoned the Green Crane Boat and carried his team members away from the island.
Chen Xiong called a meeting of the Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss which stronghold to attack.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't we attack Chijiao Island? That stronghold is closer to the front line, and it will be easier to retreat after we succeed."
Fairy Hanyue suggested.
"I agree with Fairy Lin's proposal. If we fail, we can attack Black Crow Island instead."
True Man Chihe expressed his opinion.
After a heated discussion, the minority obeyed the majority and they prepared to attack Chijiao Island.
"Without further delay, let's set off immediately. On the way, we can introduce our magical powers and abilities to each other so that we can arrange our errands."
Chen Xiong ordered.
He took out a scroll that was shining with white light, and on the scroll was a giant white eagle soaring in the sky.
The top-grade flying magic weapon is the Eagle Roaring to the Nine Skies Diagram.
The cultivators walked to the Eagle Roaring to the Nine Heavens diagram one after another. Chen Xiong pinched his fingers and the giant white eagle seemed to come alive. It flapped its wings continuously and made a sharp and piercing eagle cry.
The Eagle Roaring in the Nine Skies diagram suddenly emitted a bright white light, then turned into a beam of white light that broke through the air and disappeared into the sky.
