After the He Clan was destroyed, Cang Xuan brought his men to the Li Clan. The Li Clan was terrified by the arrival of Cang Xuan and his men. They were afraid that they would end up like the He Clan.
After respectfully inviting Cang Xuan and his men into the Li Clan, Cang Xuan and his men stayed in the Li Clan. After three days, they did not find any evidence of collusion between the Li Clan and the Demonic Cultivators. The Li Clan was innocent. Cang Xuan ordered to investigate the civilians in Lu City.
Of the two major clans in Lu City, the He Clan had been destroyed and the Li Clan was innocent. The next step was naturally to investigate the civilians.
It was not easy to find those who were in contact with the Demonic Cultivators. The workload was unimaginable. However, it could not be helped. Even if it was huge, it had to be done.
With the Li Clan as their base, the people of Sky Sword Peak quickly began to clean up Lu City. After seven days, a total of 1,800 people were arrested.
Among the 1,800 people, 300 were Demonic Cultivators who had been hiding in Lu City. The remaining 1,000 people had solid evidence that they had colluded with the Demonic Cultivators. As for the remaining 500 people, they were only suspects.
A total of 1,800 people were arrested. In the end, they were all secretly executed by Cang Xuan in the Li Clan.
The entire Lu City was in a state of panic. Just when everyone thought that Cang Xuan and his men had other tricks up their sleeves, they unexpectedly left.
Since the entire Lu City had been cleaned up, there was no need for them to stay. Cang Xuan and his men had to rush to the next city. Time was of the essence.
After Cang Xuan and his men left, Lu City was completely under the control of the Li Clan. Many people in Lu City were shocked when they recalled the sudden purge of the Nine Cloud Palace.
The incident in Lu City could be said to be everywhere in the Central Divine Territory. While the seven overlords were cleaning up the Demonic Cultivators, a group of high-level Demonic Cultivators gathered in the mysterious underground city in the headquarters of the Demonic Cultivators.
Among them, the black-robed Demonic Cultivator Overlord was still sitting on the main seat. His gaze swept across the dozen or so Dao Masters below him as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"You all know about the Heavenly Chen Continent's purge of our demonic cultivators?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. Then, one of the black-robed men stood up and bowed respectfully. "Lord Demon Envoy, the scale of the Heavenly Chen Continent's purge of us is unimaginable. It seems like they want to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"That's right. According to the reports we've received, nearly a fifth of our spies in the Central Divine Region have been killed," another black-robed man added.
Hearing their conversation, the black-robed Sovereign called the Demon Envoy laughed hoarsely. "That's right. I reckon the Tianchen Continent has already guessed our intentions. They don't want us to open a spatial tunnel, so they're planning to catch us all in one fell swoop."
The Demon Envoy had already guessed what the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was thinking. The strong cultivators in black clothes all agreed.
"Lord Demon Envoy, I don't think we can sit still and wait for death. If this continues, our situation will become more and more dangerous. At that time, I'm afraid that even the Devil City will be discovered by them."
"That's right. Lord Demon Envoy, the Devil City is our foundation. If it's destroyed, everything will be over."
The Devil City they were talking about was the underground city. It was the center of all the demonic cultivators in the Heavenly Chen Continent. It was responsible for managing and commanding all the demonic cultivators hidden in the Heavenly Chen Continent. If the Rulers of the Heavenly Chen Continent found the Devil City, the demonic cultivators would be finished.
The Demon Envoy, who was hidden under his black robe, was extremely calm. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.
"I've already discussed this matter with the other Demon Envoys. In the face of our current predicament, we can only retreat in order to advance. Don't they want to find us? Let's start a war with them. "
The other Demon Envoys? If the people of the Heavenly Chen Continent were there, they would be astonished. The Heavenly Chen Continent didn't only have one Demon Envoy, there were other Demon Envoys. In other words, there was more than one Ruler of the Heavenly Chen Continent.
As the Demon Envoy's voice fell, everyone below was stunned. What did he mean? Did he want to start a war with the Heavenly Chen Continent? However, with the strength of the demonic cultivators, they were no match for the Heavenly Chen Continent. If they started a war, they would be seeking their own death.
Seeing the doubts in everyone's hearts, the Demon Envoy sneered. "Take the initiative to expose yourself and form at least twenty battlefronts in the Heavenly Chen Continent. During the war, you don't have to fight to the death with the people of the Heavenly Chen Continent. All you need to do is attract their attention."
"Now that the Heavenly Chen Continent has organized a purge, it's nothing more than trying to force us out. Since that's the case, we might as well show ourselves. This way, not only will we be able to attract the attention of the Heavenly Chen Continent, but we will also be able to stall for time. As long as we can hold on until the key awakens, we will be able to take down the Heavenly Chen Continent in one fell swoop."
It wasn't a real war, but a war to divert the attention of the Heavenly Chen Continent and stall for time.
Of course, this method would definitely cause the demonic cultivators to suffer heavy casualties. However, there was no better way. There were still several years before the key would awaken. Before that, the demonic cultivators had to persevere for a while longer.
Hearing the Demon Envoy's words, the demonic cultivators below fell silent. They knew this was the only way. After a while, everyone nodded in agreement.
Facing the large-scale purge of the Heavenly Chen Continent, the demonic cultivators quickly responded. This decision soon led to the outbreak of war between the Heavenly Chen Continent and the demonic cultivators.
One day later, in a large city in the Eastern Sun Region, tens of thousands of demonic cultivators suddenly appeared. In just half an hour, they took down the city and killed everyone in it. In just a few hours, the city became the demonic cultivators' territory.
This was the first time the demonic cultivators had shown themselves. However, this was only the beginning. After the Eastern Sun Region, a large number of demonic cultivators appeared in the West Sea Region, South Wind Region, and North Peak Region.
These demonic cultivators continued to attack and massacre. Soon, in the other four regions, excluding the Central Divine Region, the demonic cultivators had taken down no less than thirty cities in just three days. These cities were all large cities in the four regions. At the same time, they were all located in prominent geographical locations. They were either strategic locations or important transportation routes. Now, all of them had been taken over by the demonic cultivators.
