Chapter 2047: Chapter 978: Three Great Battlefields
As Chen Mobai made his move, he slew two Nascent Souls with one sword, and the Wild Sea Demons realized his power.
Even if Wen Buyue didn’t say it, they knew that this Yi Yuan Taoist Child’s name was not in vain.
With Chen Mobai standing guard, Little Qingling became an impenetrable fortress.
After losing two Nascent Souls and over a thousand elite soldiers, the Wild Sea Demons did not dare to retaliate recklessly.
After all, Chen Mobai’s strength was formidable, with a Fifth Rank Flying Sword and Five Elements Dao Soldiers; even if a Nascent Soul Complete minor Demon Venerable or Diao Xianlan came, they might not succeed.
However, the invasion by the Demon Paths still did not stop.
In the East Wu territories, the two most important landing points bordering the Wild Sea were guarded by personnel from the Five Elements Sect, achieving the task of keeping the enemy out.
But compared to the vast coastline, the Human Race’s cultivators were still somewhat insufficient in number.
After probing for half a year, the Wild Sea Demons quickly understood the defense capabilities of East Wu.
The demons began to break up into smaller groups; the elite from the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals, led by a minor Demon Venerable, continued to engage the East Wu Alliance and the army led by Mo Douguang, while the rest landed along the coastline, avoiding places guarded by cultivators.
For mortals, the difficult-to-climb cliffs were merely trivial for demons.
In this situation, occurrences of demons creating havoc and eating people began appearing frequently across East Wu.
Places protected by major cultivator families were still alright, as the demons arriving in small squads could be resisted and even exterminated once discovered.
But in the vast territories of East Continent, where land was wide and sparsely populated, mortals lived scattered, and most cultivators fled to the Five Elements Sect army for shelter under the war circumstances.
This led to demons encountering little resistance in most parts of East Wu, slaughtering recklessly.
Especially magic Daoist monks, who gained enough blood sacrifices and began rapidly enhancing their strength in these conditions.
However, these events couldn’t be concealed; some disciples still left in families reported quickly to the frontline.
News of a fire in the rear nearly caused chaos for the East Wu Alliance battling Wild Sea Demons at sea.
Many small to medium-sized families brought their elite, driving ancestral treasure ships to the frontline, leaving behind the old, weak, and sick.
Despite having large formations for protection, if faced with an assembled force of demons, they could only survive for a limited time.
Larger families of East Wu fared better, with large formations at least of Third Rank Superior Grade, only vulnerable when faced with demons at the Nascent Soul Level.
Consequently, division within the East Wu Alliance began; some wanted to return to defend their families, naturally opposed by prominent families led by Sun Huanglong.
Manpower was already insufficient, and only having the big families left meant even battle arrays couldn’t be organized.
However, Sun Huanglong and others, being cunning, immediately informed the Five Elements Sect of this issue, seeking their opinion.
“Seeking opinion?”
Upon receiving the news, Chen Mobai descended using Void Illusion technique, surprised at Mo Douguang’s words.
“Before life and death, they have already placed themselves in a subordinate position to the Five Elements Sect.”
Mo Douguang appeared justifiably so; in the days of the Primordial Ancestral Master, Eastern Wilderness’s Back to Sky Valley, Snow-blowing Palace, and others bowed to the Five Elements Sect.
Only with Chen Mobai’s emergence did the major factions in Eastern Wilderness outside the Five Elements Sect disappear, so he hadn’t experienced this feeling.
“Have the East Wu Alliance send several disciples familiar with the terrain. I’ll dispatch two battalions from among my Five Elements Sect cultivators to sweep East Wu region.”
Chen Mobai spoke his instructions.
This matter certainly needed handling; after all, he was kind-hearted, couldn’t bear witnessing mortal suffering, and had to attend to public morale and military morale.
Mo Douguang called over a few leaders from the East Wu Alliance to discuss the matter.
Upon hearing that the Five Elements Sect was truly intervening, and that Chen Mobai himself was sending his soldiers, these people were instantly grateful.
That night, they sent eighty cultivators, essentially the elite of East Wu’s major families, all familiar with the region.
Chen Mobai dispatched his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, and Yin Qingmei.
This war might be one of the rare opportunities for the Five Elements Sect to establish achievements, with his oversight; hence, besides Zhuo Ming, he also brought Yin Qingmei.
After all, when Yin Qingmei undergoes Nascent Soul Formation in the future, there needs to be a reason for providing Three Lights Divine Water and other resources.
He hinted this to Yin Qingmei, who was therefore highly motivated to build merits on the East Wu battlefield.
Liu Wenbo and Yin Qingmei, leading tens of thousands of Five Elements Sect cultivators and three hundred from the East Wu Alliance, split into two groups and headed towards areas with demon traces.
Initially, things went smoothly, wiping out dozens of demon squads.
But gradually, Liu Wenbo and Yin Qingmei found it increasingly difficult to locate demons.
Even if found, they were just a few coming out to secretly feast.
In response, Chen Mobai, who had been maneuvering them with Void Illusion all along, immediately issued new instructions.
He activated the two large formations previously arranged by Zhuo Ming, and indeed, within their coverage, he found several gatherings of unusual spiritual power.
