A piece of blue sea, with gusts of sea breeze and white clouds.
A red light appeared in the distant sky, and soon, it stopped over the deserted island.
The escaping light faded, revealing a flying boat with a shining red light. Han Zhangxiang and Fairy Qianling stood on the red flying boat. Their faces were pale, and Fairy Qianling's clothes were stained with blood. Han Zhangxiang's back was a bloody mess.
They fought desperately to break out of the encirclement and cut off one of Jiao Li's hands, only then did they get rid of Jiao Li. Both of them were seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a period of time.
Han Zhangxiang's spiritual sense quickly swept across the entire island and did not find anything unusual or any fourth-level monsters, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He made a gesture of magic, and the red flying boat quickly landed in a long and narrow valley. The valley was full of weeds more than a meter tall, and the stone walls were bumpy.
There was a huge cave not far away. Han Zhangxiang put away the red flying boat and walked towards the cave with Fairy Qianling.
The cave was a little dark and damp. Not long after, they reached the end and a cave about an acre in size appeared in front of them.
"This place is remote enough, they shouldn't chase us. Let's recuperate here for a while!"
Han Zhangxiang suggested, and with a flick of his sleeves, hundreds of yellow flags flew out. After the flags became bright, they turned into yellow lights and disappeared into the stone wall.
He took out a formation plate that was glowing yellow and entered several spells. The stone wall was lit up with a dazzling yellow light. A yellow mist emerged from the entrance and turned into a yellow earth wall, blocking the gap. No abnormality could be seen from the outside.
"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I would have died."
Fairy Qianling said gratefully.
"It's just a small favor. Fairy Luo, you don't have to be polite. Didn't you save me before? You should heal your wounds first! Otherwise, the monsters might come and kill us."
Han Zhangxiang suggested, he cleared out an independent stone chamber and walked in.
Han Zhangxiang took out a Luo Yundan and put it into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and soon, a hot current rose from his abdomen, flowing along his limbs and bones, causing an extremely itchy feeling wherever it passed.
Han Zhangxiang needs to recuperate in seclusion for a period of time. When he gets better, he will return to Haoran City. I hope Han Benfu and the others are safe and sound.
His current condition is too bad, and he is no match for the demons in the Nascent Soul stage.
······
Jinpeng Island, the Li family’s old nest.
Flames shot up into the sky on the island, mountains exploded, houses collapsed, trees were broken in half, and large numbers of corpses were scattered on the ground.
On a steep green peak, Li Hongfei was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. There was a huge bloody hole in his chest and blood was flowing out.
A group of monks flew over from a distance at an extremely fast speed. Not long after, they stopped. Leading them was Han Chaoyang.
Han Chaoyang looked at the messy Li family with a frown on his face.
His spiritual sense swept across the entire island, but did not find a single living person.
Who was the one who attacked? The Li family had no power to fight back, and Li Hongfei couldn't even escape.
A red beam of light came from a distance, and not long after, it stopped over the Jinpeng Island. The light faded, revealing a flying boat shining with red light. More than twenty immortal cultivators were standing on it, led by an old man in a red robe with a ruddy face.
"Friend Han, where is the murderer?"
The old man in red robe frowned and quickly swept his spiritual sense across the entire island, but did not find a single living person.
"It was like this when we arrived. I don't know who did it, but the Li family was powerless to resist."
Han Chaoyang's eyes were filled with fear and his gaze was solemn.
If the murderer wanted to deal with the Han family, the Han family would probably not be in a better situation. The unknown is the most terrifying thing.
"Let's report it first! I hope we can catch the murderer."
The red-robed old man sighed.
Han Zhangxiang nodded, sent people to collect the bodies, and spread the news.
Soon, the news of the Li family's destruction spread quickly, but all forces had a hard time dealing with the beast tide and suffered heavy losses. Most forces believed that it was done by the demon tribe in the Nascent Soul stage, but their purpose was unclear.
······
On Sifang Island, most of the island was reduced to ruins, and a large number of broken limbs could be seen.
A team of monks were collecting the bodies and treating the wounded.
In a spacious and bright blue palace, Qin Sihai sat on the main throne. His face was pale, his left arm was missing, and he looked seriously injured.
Li Zhixuan sat aside with a serious expression.
"Friend Li, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise our Sifang Island would have been razed to the ground."
Qin Sihai expressed his gratitude. The demon tribe was like crazy, attacking Sifang Island frantically. If Li Zhixuan had not arrived with reinforcements, the HSBC Business Alliance would probably have been destroyed.
"When the lips and teeth are gone, Fellow Daoist Qin, I have long suggested to you that we join forces to severely damage the demon race, but you refused to agree. Now you are nurturing a tiger that is causing trouble for you."
Li Zhixuan said with a frown.
"I would like to do that, but they have a powerful force behind them. If we destroy them rashly, we will probably be in trouble."
Qin Sihai smiled bitterly and said in a helpless tone.
"Trouble? It won't be troublesome if we let them destroy us?"
Li Zhixuan looked a little unhappy. To put it bluntly, the HSBC Business Alliance did not want to offend any forces and only wanted to do business. Now the retribution has come!
Qin Sihai's face condensed, and he said in a cold voice: "They are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Since we have torn our faces, there is nothing to say. I will mobilize people to deal with the monster tribe together."
The sea area is too large, and it is not easy to destroy the demon tribe. If the demon tribe cannot defeat the enemy, they can flee and wait for the human masters to withdraw before coming back to fight. If a heavy force is sent to guard the area without a Divine Transformation cultivator, it will be easy for them to be destroyed by the demon tribe. If a Divine Transformation cultivator is stationed there, the defenses of other places will definitely be weakened.
Because of this, there have been constant private fights between humans and demons, but the scale has never been large. In the last war between humans and demons, the demons only gave up some peripheral territories.
"It's not easy to destroy the demon tribe. The important thing is to find out why they made such a big fuss. If we don't find out, this kind of thing will happen again in the future."
Li Zhixuan's tone was stern.
Qin Sihai nodded: "We need to send someone to investigate. They made such a big noise, they must have left some clues. I will send someone to investigate."
······
In the Dragon Palace, Jiao Yan, Long Xiao and Xiao Qingwu were talking about something.
"What? Retreat?"
Jiao Yan's face looked a little ugly. According to his plan, he would take this opportunity to severely damage the human race and support Fairy Hanyue to take the throne. Who could have thought that the reinforcements of the human race would arrive so quickly, and there were several Jindan cultivators with considerable magical powers.
"We have obtained the blood of the Heavenly Demon. There is no point in staying here any longer. Let's retreat with the elites of our clan first."
Long Xiao said in a deep voice that if he hadn't considered that they were all from the same demon race, he wouldn't want to bother with them.
"Haoran City has two gods supporting us, and other places have gods supporting us. It's better to retreat early. There's no need to fight them to the death."
Xiao Qingwu agreed deeply, they had obtained what they wanted, so naturally they had no interest in fighting to the death with the human race's gods. The only thing that excited them in this sea was the blood of the celestial demon, and nothing else caught their eyes.
"We have caused such a big commotion this time, the human race will definitely take revenge..."
Jiao Yan looked embarrassed.
"Don't worry, you have contributed a lot. We can take you to the Ten Thousand Demons Star Region and leave here first. As for the human race, leave them more immortal cultivation resources. If they can't find us, they will naturally fight for resources."
Long Xiao ordered, his tone stern.
Jiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and agreed. He did so many things in the hope of being able to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Star Region.
The Ten Thousand Demons Star Region is the main gathering place for the demon race, with many masters. It is also the place that every transformed demon race yearns for.
Half a month later, the human coalition launched a counterattack and was surprised to find that the elite of the demon race had fled, leaving only some remnants.
The human coalition vented its anger on the remaining demon tribes. They expanded by hundreds of millions of miles. With such a big piece of cake, all major forces wanted to occupy more territory. When they couldn't find the elite demon tribes, they gave up.
In order to completely digest these territories, the major forces rewarded people according to their merits, relocated mortals and cultivators, and developed the newly occupied islands.
