Chapter 2319: It’s a Trap, It’s a Trap!

However, these message birds weren’t actually relaying what Sikong Jing mentioned. The real communication wasn’t done using message birds, as he feared they might be intercepted by the Cang Lineage, so Sikong Jing was now using... fish to transmit messages.

He commanded with the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, controlling the fish to convey the real orders.

"The next few days will be grueling battles for us, and it’s inevitable that we must fight hard."

"With the absence of Ying Sect Master and eight Holy Martial Demons, our combat strength is at its lowest."

"And even if our strength were sufficient, we must prioritize defense to make Chai Jiu think... we’re doomed."

Following Sikong Jing’s words, the Mo and Yu lineages stood ready.

Shortly thereafter... Boom, boom, boom!

A defensive battle on Demon Rock Island officially commenced, and the explicit intent of Mo and Yu was to stall until Ying Sanmeng broke through to the third realm of Divine Martial, driving them to madness for this goal.

Except for the core individuals, no one knew that Ying Sanmeng wasn’t secluded; he left long ago.

Kill, kill, kill...

The horrific slaughter on Demon Rock Island raged intensely, truly a grueling battle.

The Cang Lineage would never allow Ying Sanmeng to break through, so their assault was almost reckless, while the demons constantly broke through and awakened in battle; meanwhile, the Cang Lineage continuously brought reinforcements...

One day, two days, three days...

The sea outside Demon Rock Island was almost stained red, filled with corpses, both of the Human Clan and demons, yet no one would retreat at this stage.

Each demon was constantly transforming.

The awakened demons progressed not only in martial strength but also in intelligence.

In a flash, it was the fourth day...

That was the fifth day since Ying Sanmeng left, and Sikong Jing still stood in black battle armor atop a slightly battered Divine Shuttle Ship, beside him were the War Puppet Bodies of two Divine Martial Masters.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing inquired: "Have the Ying Sect Master and your bodies met?"

The bodies of the two Divine Martial Masters were outside the Absolute Array; after being let go by the Cang Lineage, apart from entering Divine Demon Island in their War Puppet Bodies, their bodies immediately distanced from Cangyu Sect and hid deeply.

To avoid being imprisoned again by the Cang Lineage...

Ying Sanmeng had long left the Absolute Array, and his first action outside was to meet up with the bodies of the two Divine Martial Masters.

Now, the two Divine Martial Masters...

Of course, had seamlessly become eyes and ears for Sikong Jing regarding Cangyu Sect movements, as well as mediums to transmit orders and information.

They nodded, and replied in an aged voice: "The meeting has occurred, when shall we commence operations?"

Though they were old, they listened entirely to Sikong Jing now...

Sikong Jing closed his eyes deeply, then opened them again, saying: "Act upon my command, meanwhile let Mo and Yu’s troops follow my orders, feigning inability to hold Demon Rock Island, and then we’ll retreat towards Divine Demon Island..."

As his words fell, the two Divine Martial Masters naturally didn’t understand this reasoning, but Sikong Jing’s orders swiftly disseminated.

Thus, as Sikong Jing had said, Demon Rock Island started to show signs of being unable to hold.

After feigning endurance for another two hours, they began fleeing crazily towards Divine Demon Island.

...

Witnessing this, Chai Jiu immediately commanded...

"Convey my orders, have the troops intercepting the Divine Demon Island direction block Mo and Yu’s retreat, meanwhile gather all Cang Lineage forces obstructing the demon troops in the direction of Divine Demon Island and rendezvous with me."

"Under no circumstances can they return to Divine Demon Island nor allow those three worthless creatures the chance to reenter the prison."

"Even if they don’t want to enter prison, we cannot fall into negotiation again."

Everyone in Cang Lineage certainly understood Chai Jiu’s meaning...

That was: don’t let the Black Scale Demon and Ying Sanmeng use the opportunity of entering prison without exit to threaten them.

Next, for Cang Lineage, it became... a blocking war!

With all sides, the Cang Lineage forces in the direction of Divine Demon Island momentarily blocked Mo and Yu, then pursued and encircled Mo and Yu.

The battle situation detached from Demon Rock Island at this time, turning into a crazy slaughter on the sea...

Time continued to flow...

After a full half day, Mo and Yu were thoroughly encircled by Cang Lineage.

Chai Jiu and others saw the dawn of victory...

At this moment, Fifth Sect Master Chai Ren took the opportunity to laugh wildly: "Black Scale Demon, little bastard, I am going to wash away the shame."

Simultaneously...

Chai Jiu also sneered: "Ying Sanmeng, you still break through under such circumstances, if you don’t come out now, you’re all doomed."

In Chai Jiu’s eyes, Ying Sanmeng was definitely on one of those Divine Shuttle Ships, making his final push.

And he certainly couldn’t allow Ying Sanmeng to continue breaking through.

Once he reached the third realm of Divine Martial, he’d have the chance to counterattack them.

Now, Ying Sanmeng’s breakthrough mindset must be disturbed...

Over here, Sikong Jing first quietly said: "Two Divine Martial Masters, let Ying Sect Master begin entering Cangyu Sect."

The two Divine Martial Masters heard this, widened their eyes and nodded heavily.

Afterward, Sikong Jing, without further speech, gripped his spear and stood up, explosively initiating the Soldier Killing Array: "Chai Jiu, once Uncle Ying successfully breaks through, we can surely counterattack, now fight to death!"

Upon hearing this, Chai Jiu grinned sinisterly: "Ha ha ha, I know Ying Sanmeng well, with his reckless nature, how could he peacefully break through under such circumstances, he probably will deviate."

Chai Ren also laughed along: "Pinning hopes on such trash as Ying Sanmeng is your failure’s root."

"Kill..."

Cang lineage shouted out slaughter sounds madly, besieging Mo and Yu.

But just half a moment later, Chai Jiu suddenly seemed puzzled, scanning the demon troops, especially scrutinizing Holy Martial Demons around Sikong Jing, frowning fiercely: "That Holy Martial Demon seems to be Chong Yan rather than Zhu Yan?"

Chong Yan is the Deputy Island Master of Demon Rock Island, while Zhu Yan is... the actual Island Master.

Because demons are primarily in the presence of Demon Extermination, causing disruptions in succession to reach the Holy Martial Stage, nobody truly knows how many have achieved that stage, as demons haven’t fully gathered yet.

After breakthroughs and Demon Extermination, everything was chaotic, and the Cang Lineage people were naturally unable to recognize them anymore.

The combat of these days couldn’t recognize anything accurately.

Though Sikong Jing sent out eight Holy Martial Demons days ago, Cang Lineage hadn’t detected any of it.

However, at this moment, Chai Jiu suddenly realized a problem.

Because he remembered that Zhu Yan had achieved the fourth realm of Holy Martial, yet the Mo Yanren beside Sikong Jing was merely at the third realm of Holy Martial, upon confirming slightly further, he felt a major issue.

Suddenly, Chai Jiu discovered more powerful demons, seemingly all had disguised themselves.

Several Holy Martial Demons he remembered had vanished untraceably.

As he observed, Chai Jiu suddenly trembled violently, thinking darkly: "No, with Ying Sanmeng’s nature, it’s impossible for him to hide this long and remain calm without coming out... Ying Sanmeng isn’t among Mo and Yu’s troops."

Realizing this, Chai Jiu’s hair stood on end, frantically shouted: "Everyone... retreat, quick retreat!"

His words froze countless Cang Lineage people, but still, they swiftly followed the Great Gate Master’s orders, retreating beside him.

Chai Ren asked: "Great Gate Master, what’s happening?"

Other Cang Lineage leaders, equally puzzled, looked at Chai Jiu, wondering why he suddenly commanded retreat when victory was imminent.

"A trap, a trap..."

Chai Jiu said in a low voice, then intently stared at the opposing side, saying: "Ying Sanmeng isn’t breaking through; he isn’t near the Black-scaled Little Demon, several initially breakthrough Holy Martial Demons aren’t near the Black-scaled Little Demon."

All Cang Lineage people, upon hearing this, widened their eyes, wondering what the Great Gate Master meant?
