On the surface of Bright Mirror Lake, the dense allied forces tread upon the water, terrifying the demon creatures underwater, who immediately hid at the bottom of the lake, clutching the rocks, shivering.
In the sky above the lake, Wen Venerable and other Upper Realm experts from the Hundred Sects Alliance were gazing at East Lake, which was about to become the largest battleground.
Thereās nothing but mountains and forests.
Demon creatures abounded!
Who could have thought that the biggest battle in recent hundreds of years would unfold here?
"In another hour, weāll reach Wangchuan Mountain Range. Scouts reported that Wangchuan Mountain Range showed no anomalies."
"Itās expected to show no anomalies. The Immortal Sect and the Demon Race wonāt be foolish enough to make Wangchuan Mountain Range their battlefield. The place closest to Demon Emperor Lake is where theyāve prepared their battleground. Thatās where the Demon Race can quickly provide support, which is crucial for this war."
Wen Venerable listened to the discussions from behind, his expression slightly solemn, creating a Sound Insulation Barrier, and said to Gong Cao beside him, "When we await the strong ones from Zhetian Tower at Wangchuan Mountain Range, notify the rear immediately, and get the second batch of allied forces prepared. Head straight to East Lake after the battle, while the third batch starts organizing. In terms of numbers, our Hundred Sects Alliance wonāt fear even a Demon Emperor Lake!"
"Iāve also arranged for infiltration into the other two lairs of the Demon Race. However, these are just feigned attacks. If they donāt retreat, weāll proceed further, posing sufficient threats to the Demon Race, thereby making them have difficulty managing in all directions." Golden Level Chief Gong Cao smiled confidently.
Wen Venerable followed with a smile, "As long as we can restrain the Demon Race, preventing them from fully supporting the Immortal Sect, itās just a matter of time before we take down the Immortal Sect. Before then, you must find out who among us is the spy, or the Immortal Sect will know all our arrangements, which would lead to significant losses in this war. I donāt want to win the war yet require decades, even centuries, to restore our strength."
"Or we can utilize the spy to issue fake orders, luring the Immortal Sect into a trap. As long as we make it convincing, everything will be fine."
"Letās set camp and wait for Zhetian Towerās dignitaries at Wangchuan Mountain Range. Handle the spy issue yourself. Finding or utilizing the spy, itās your choice."
"Alright, I will consider the best approach in a while."
"Do you recall the method used to deal with the scattered station a long time ago?" Wen Venerable looked at Gong Cao, revealing a hint of conspiracy.
Gong Cao laughed, "I remember, very bold indeed. Are you planning to use it again this time?"
"Why not? With Zhetian Tower as our backing, we can certainly feign attacks with millions upfront, then directly assault the rear to destroy the Immortal Sect, making it impossible for them to return home, allowing us to attack from both sides."
"We can completely use the Immortal Sectās spy in our ranks to create a false impression that weāre going to battle all the way through."
Gong Cao clapped his hands, feeling a series of realizations in his heart.
What initially troubled him, the spy, now turned out to be a useful asset.
The method used to execute the former leader of the scattered station over a hundred years ago was about to reemerge!
"We will discuss the specific plan once Zhetian Towerās dignitaries arrive at Wangchuan Mountain Range. If the dignitaries are willing to assist, we will have greater confidence." Wen Venerable retracted the previous expression, then lifted a hand to remove the Sound Insulation Barrier.
Gong Cao cooperatively continued, "Old Wen, I think we should discuss the matter of your grandson wanting to marry my granddaughter back home. My granddaughter is exceptional, and should not be allowed to use backdoor due to our old friendship; there are quite a few young men better than your grandson!"
Wen Venerable immediately glared at Gong Cao.
He could only act along with the play in front of everyone, making a show for the spies among those behind him, "Speaking as if your granddaughter is that exceptional."
The two continued jesting for a few more words, finishing just as they reached Wangchuan Mountain Range.
Under Wen Venerableās command, the allied forces of the Hundred Sects Alliance began descending at Wangchuan Mountain Range, preparing to set up their camp, making Wangchuan Mountain Range the base for this war.
Just when tens and hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously landed and scattered to begin setting up camp, everything around them changed!
Trees.
Stones.
Fish swimming in rivers.
Everything that appeared ordinary, in the blink of an eye, transformed into Great Demons, attacking those completely unprepared.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The Hundred Sects Alliance instantly descended into chaos.
The nearly million-strong allied forces that first descended collapsed in half in an instant.
Because there was no defense.
And because the Demon Race attacked in pairs or trios against one.
"Whatās happening!"
"Why so suddenly much Demon Qi!"
Those trailing from the rear were still oblivious until witnessing the massacre by the Demon Raceās army on the allied forces, realizing they had walked into an ambush!
Seeing the Demon Race surprisingly surrounding all those who arrived first, they were astounded.
Because such a number of Demons lying in ambush at Wangchuan Mountain Range, how could no one detect it?
This clearly makes no sense.
But the Demon Race cared none of this, having achieved success in the first wave, they immediately started grouping, charging toward the Hundred Sects Allianceās frontline.
"How did your people scout?! Wasnāt there supposed to be no anomalies?"
Wen Venerable glared at Gong Cao, feeling a sudden impulse to spit blood.
But at this moment, there was no time for further words, directly maneuvering the Wing Race Great Demon towards Wangchuan Mountain Range.
Landed abruptly at the forefront of the Demon Raceās charge.
Yet the frontline Demon Race was already engaged in a mixed battle with the Hundred Sects Allianceās allied forces, Wen Venerable and the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression expertsā participation made it impossible to only eliminate demon creatures.
Killing two demon creatures might accidentally injure a comrade.
And this is unavoidable.
As people retreated.
Demons continued pursuing.
The two sides remained closely engaged.
"Damn Demon Race!"
But Wen Venerable couldnāt afford such concerns.
He just wanted to drive back this wave now!
Otherwise, the Hundred Sects Allianceās allied forcesā losses would be unbearable.
In fact, itās already nearly unbearable now.
Wen Venerableās Meridian Gate trembled violently, his Vein Qi turned into a blade, constantly slashing toward the incoming demons. In a short while, most of his body was stained red with blood. Wen Venerable roared aloud, charging forward fiercely, blasting through the demon horde, creating a bloody path.
The dispersed allied forces witnessing this scene began to lose some fear, starting to converge under Gong Caoās command.
Yet just when there seemed to be a turn, the demon horde suddenly opened a path.
A massive Titan Giant Ape walked toward Wen Venerable step by step.
A roar sent everyone into a dizzy stupor.
"Daring without even reaching Half-Step Earth Unrestricted?"
Seeing the Titan Giant Ape, a touch of ferocity crossed Wen Venerableās lips.
Just as he contemplated how to slay the Titan Giant Ape, it had already struck first with a punch.
Wen Venerable immediately responded, transforming his Vein Qi into a gigantic fist, intending to clash head-on with the Giant Ape.
Since this Giant Ape was the backbone of the Demon Race, he must slay it first.
To crush the Demon Raceās overwhelming morale.
And to rekindle the Hundred Sects Allianceās scattered morale.
However, the result surprised Wen Venerable, his Vein Qi shattered after enduring just a few breaths.
Wen Venerable realized, although he wasnāt using Earth Level Vein Skill, it was still a Profound Level technique.
It turned out Profound Level Vein Technique couldnāt match this Giant Ape!
Wen Venerable immediately grasped the issue, the Giant Ape before him, though not exhibiting Half-Step Earth Unrestrictedās aura, its Demon Body had attained that level.
"How did the Demon Race produce this monstrosity!"
Wen Venerable harbored hidden shock.
Such a matter he had never heard of.
Nor had he ever encountered!
"Luckily, if itās merely the Demon Body reaching Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, it is merely that. Its demon Divine Techniques pose no threat to me!"
Moreover, Wen Venerable realized speed was essential.
For the Demon Race lying in ambush undoubtedly had more surprises.
While they were utterly unprepared.
