Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 289 - 264: Schemes

The Demon Kings left their grotto mansions, riding the Black Wind for a flying escape, eventually landing on a Stone Mountain.

The Ox Demon said cheerfully:

“Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Fairy has given orders to eliminate four Golden Core Cultivators. Our clan has already completed one, and it’s time for the rest of you to contribute!”

It was very fortunate that the Ox Demon tribe collaborated with the Cyan Flood Dragon, accomplishing the task effortlessly.

Now that the human cultivators are prepared, it’s very difficult to use a surprise attack to kill Golden Core cultivators again.

The Black Wind Wolf Demon King chuckled and retorted:

“Brother Niu, you are mistaken. The task given by the Fairy is to be completed jointly by our various tribes.

The death of Qingxu Daoist Master is everyone’s achievement, isn’t that right?”

“Brother Wolf’s words are indeed correct.”

“Brother Wolf is right.”

The Ox Demon was furious, “Black Wolf, I want to tear your mouth apart!”

“Brother Niu, Brother Wolf was just joking, we must not harm our harmony!”

The Wild Boar Demon King urgently persuaded and explained:

“Although our tribes have had conflicts and disputes, we always advance and retreat together when battling the Human Race.

The Qingqiu Envoy ordered us to kill four human Golden Core cultivators. Even if we acknowledge your achievements, can you lead your clan out of the battle?”

The Ox Demon snorted coldly and stopped speaking.

It was well understood within its heart that if the task given by Hu Yuniang was not completed, the Ox Demon tribe would not dare leave the battlefield.

Black Wind Wolf spoke:

“Brother Niu, calm down, let’s discuss the matter at hand.

Before completing the task, we’ll have to stay here, but each day we stay consumes the future of the tribe.

If we exhaust our tribe without completing the task, can you remain uninvolved?”

It eloquently continued:

“The urgent matter now is to quickly break the Mountain Protection Array of the Human Race.

Otherwise, if the human Golden Core cultivators stay within the Magic Array without leaving, we have no chance of killing them.”

“Moreover, everyone has seen the fate of Xiong Zhuang.

The Human Race has hidden their strength, with just us, we can’t accomplish this task alone. We must ask for support from our tribe and reveal Qingqiu’s order.”

The Leopard Demon nodded continuously:

“Brother Wolf is right, after breaking the Grand Array of Mingfeng Mountain, the Human Race will lose their anchor point and surely retreat.

Even if we don’t kill enough Golden Core cultivators, we can invade the Human Race’s heartland.

There, there’s more blood nourishment, and then strengthening our tribe becomes simple.

Fighting to sustain the fight, perhaps by the end of the war, our tribe will already be stronger.”

Black Wolf suddenly said:

“Have you ever considered why, despite having superior numbers, the Human Race Golden Core cultivators dare not take the initiative to attack?”

The Wild Boar Demon King shook his plump head:

“Never thought about it.”

It became a Demon King solely through eating, thinking about such things wasn’t suitable for it.

The Ox Demon and Leopard Demon showed an expression of contemplation in their eyes; this indeed was a puzzling point.

Today’s situation had them reassess the combat power of the Human Race Golden Core Stage.

The enemy is stronger than them, why do they not dare to attack proactively?

The Black Wolf Demon King sinisterly continued:

“If my speculation is correct, the human cultivators must have realized we have the backing of Nascent Soul Stage entities; thus, they rely on the grand array to have the confidence to fight us.”

The Leopard Demon replied:

“This is just speculation, what proof is there?”

If the speculation is wrong, and the Human Golden Core stage rush forward en masse, they might find it hard to escape.

“We’ll know by tomorrow, we shall drive more tribes to join the attack lineup, dispatch more Chao Origin Stage Demon Beasts to participate, and oversee from behind.

If the Human Race isn’t afraid, they will surely send Golden Core cultivators to attack us.”

The Wild Boar Demon King nodded:

“A good plan, although Xiong Zhuang is dead, its tribe’s combat strength remains strong and can be dispatched.”

Throughout the battles, several Demon Kings rarely commanded their own tribe to fight, hence the Bear Demon’s numbers were considerable.

The Ox Demon nodded, “Let’s go with this plan. I have communicated with the Cyan Flood Dragon about Mingfeng Mountain’s current situation, and it analyzed that the spiritual vein here won’t last much longer.

If we can maintain the current level of attack intensity, within half a month the spirit vein grade will inevitably fall due to excessive extraction.”

The Tier Two Middle Grade Mountain Protection Array’s defensive strength has weakened considerably, making it very easy to break through.”

The Leopard Demon nodded in agreement and added:

“Convey the will of the Qingqiu Envoy to those Flying Demon Birds, they must also contribute.”

The Land Beasts and Flying Birds generally don’t get along, and usually rarely collaborate in combat.

…

The next day, at 7:00 AM.

At the mountaintop of Mingfeng Mountain, the Golden Core Daoist Masters gathered together.

Fire Cloud Zhenren saw the Demon Kings arriving from a distance on the Black Wind, his face turning ashen.

These Demon Kings dare to lead their groups for an attack, there must be a trap behind it.

Not just him, the expressions of the other Daoist Masters were also grim, the most worrying thing had become a reality.

“The mission of Mingfeng Mountain is about to be completed,” Fire Cloud Zhenren sighed, full of unwillingness, and transmitted his voice:

“Fellow Daoists, tonight we need to discuss the matter of evacuation.”

We must leave before Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City’s spirit vein tier decreases, and during the evacuation, we must try our best to ensure the safety of each family’s core members, as we will need to rely on these families in the future.

…

On the city wall, Ji An had already prepared for battle, deploying All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers, creating more Grass Puppets.

Wang Dachui glanced back at him with a sense of reassurance.

After yesterday’s battle, it was discovered that Fellow Daoist Ji’s magical combat abilities were very strong; Foundation Establishment Stage demons couldn’t break through here.

And the higher realm demons will be handled by the Chao Origin Stage cultivators.

The sunrise gradually ascended, bringing a wild aura as wolf howls spread in all directions, followed by the echoing calls of the wolf pack, the savage and bloody aura rushing forward.
