A few days later.
The war between the Exotic Beast Influence and Demon Flame City ended.
The strength of Demon Flame City was always higher; after the Exotic Beasts suffered a significant number of casualties, they could no longer bear the losses and chose to retreat to the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.
After all, without the intervention of any Body Integration Realm Exotic Beast, it was impossible for them to breach Demon Flame City.
At the same time, the Exotic Beasts also discovered the aura of the Ancestral essence blood had completely vanished; they estimated it had long been devoured by the cultivators of Demon Flame City, and continuing the fight would be meaningless, only leading to more casualties.
Although they were unhappy to see this situation, without support from their leaders, the war couldnât continue, and they had to admit defeat temporarily.
No matter how you look at it, the Body Integration Realm Exotic Beasts were still in slumber, and it wasnât the best time to wage war against humans.
Now, they could only swallow this bitter pill.
"Ha, those foolish Exotic Beasts actually dared to attack our Demon Flame City, and now theyâre fleeing back to the Ice Crystal Mountain Range in disgrace. Their losses are severe this time."
"Indeed, in the past few days, weâve killed so many Exotic Beasts that you canât even quantify them. Unfortunately, many of our Demon Flame Cityâs cultivators also died â an unprecedented loss."
"Whatâs the loss of some Demon Cultivators? As long as our City Lord is here, Demon Flame City is as stable as Mount Tai, and other cities certainly wouldnât dare to attack us."
"Youâre right; losing some Demon Cultivators is nothing. They are weak and unlucky; only those who survive can become truly powerful Demon Cultivators."
The cultivators of Demon Flame City were discussing proudly.
Although this war with the Exotic Beasts led to the death of a large number of cultivators in Demon Flame City, the casualties were severe.
But for these Demon Cultivators, it was nothing, as low-tier Demon Cultivators were like crops; even if a batch dies, another would sprout soon.
They had already disregarded life and death.
Death is just an early return to this world.
"Even though thatâs the case, why did these Exotic Beasts suddenly go mad and attack our Demon Flame City? Did something unusual happen?"
"Rumor has it someone infiltrated the deepest part of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range and stole a Secret Treasure from the Exotic Beasts, which made them go mad. Subsequently, that mysterious figure infiltrated Demon Flame City, causing the Exotic Beasts to believe our city harbored the mysterious cultivator, thus they waged war against us."
"Is it really true? If it is, then arenât we just othersâ scapegoats? Who dared to use our Demon Flame City as their shield?"
"Ha, after this news spread, those elders of the Demon Cultivators were infuriated and desperately wanted to find that mysterious cultivator. Unfortunately, no matter how they searched, they couldnât find even the slightest trace of the mysterious figure, as if the person vanished into thin air."
"Impossible, if that mysterious cultivator truly had that ability, how could they be chased by the Exotic Beasts? They probably escaped long ago. Are the Exotic Beasts lying, intentionally attacking us as an excuse?"
"Thatâs indeed possible; the words of Exotic Beasts canât be trusted. But regardless, after this battle, those Exotic Beasts wonât have the strength to attack us again for a while."
The cultivators of Demon Flame City spoke with joy.
They were naturally very doubtful of the existence of the mysterious cultivator mentioned by the Exotic Beasts, especially since many elders joined forces but couldnât find any trace of the mysterious figure, not even a clue.
Even the City Lord took action personally, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Nevertheless, they achieved a costly victory this time.
In the short term, human forces in this area will be more secure, and peace will last for a while.
...
On the other hand, the Righteous Influence in Profound Abyss City and others naturally knew about Demon Flame Cityâs ordeal.
All the Righteous Cultivators sneered with schadenfreude and were even delighted.
"Ha! Those Demon Cultivators from Demon Flame City are really unlucky. They were besieged by a large number of Exotic Beasts. Who knows how many Demon Cultivators died and were injured this time? Itâs as if the heavens opened their eyes."
A Void Refining Cultivator laughed heartily, feeling jubilant.
After all, the cultivators of various cities have deep-seated grievances with Demon Flame City, with countless loved ones having once died tragically at the hands of the city.
If Demon Flame City werenât so powerful, they would have attacked long ago and not endured such humiliation.
So seeing the misfortunes of these Demon Cultivators, they are naturally happy, eager to see Demon Flame City annihilated by the Exotic Beasts.
"Should we attack Demon Flame City and take the chance to kick them while theyâre down?"
"Foolish, the true terror of Demon Flame City is not those low-tier Demon Cultivators but the Body Integration Realm Demon Cultivators."
"Indeed, as long as those low-tier Demon Cultivators are all gone, it wonât shake Demon Flame City to its core."
"Unless those two Body Integration Realm Demon Cultivators fall, Demon Flame City will not be destroyed."
"Although Demon Flame Cityâs core suffered no loss, they lost so many Demon Cultivators that they can no longer stir trouble outside for a while. Itâs safer for us in the wild during this time."
"But why was Demon Flame City suddenly attacked by Exotic Beasts? Do you know the reason?"
