The battle came to an end. In the face of the large-scale invasion of the Xiumo cultivators, Eastern Pass City had suffered disastrous casualties. Of the more than 500,000 defenders, more than 100,000 were killed on the spot and no less than 80,000 were seriously injured or disabled.
It could be said that after this battle, Eastern Pass City's defenses had been weakened by at least forty percent. Of course, the other Sovereigns who received this news quickly transferred another five hundred thousand soldiers from the Central Divine Region to Eastern Pass City as reinforcements. In an instant, the number of guards guarding Eastern Pass City had increased to eight hundred thousand.
At the same time, not only East Pass City, the Sovereigns also strengthened the defense of the other three pass cities and sent reinforcements. At the same time, the Sovereigns began to plan a great purge of the Demonic Cultivators in the four regions to counterattack the tragic war in East Pass City.
The news of the fierce battle in Eastern Pass City quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Chen Continent. Xiao Chen and Dao Master Danyun's fame was pushed to the peak, especially Dao Master Danyun, who was a hidden almighty Sovereign. Moreover, his cultivation had reached the Great Circle of the Dao Emperor Realm. This news shocked even the Sovereigns.
After this battle, Dao Master Danyun's cultivation was exposed, which meant that he had officially entered the top ranks of the Heavenly Chen Continent and was on an equal footing with the Sovereigns. At the same time, the people changed the way they addressed Dao Master Danyun. They no longer called him Dao Master, but Danyun Sovereign.
Dao Master Danyun and Xiao Chen did not care about the changes in the outside world. They stayed in East Pass City for five days because of the Heavenly Pill Sovereign's suggestion.
Because East Pass City was going to purge the Demonic Cultivators in East Sun Region, the Heavenly Pill Sovereign suggested that Xiao Chen and Dao Master Danyun wait for the start of the purge in East Pass City before heading to Ling Shan Commandery City. This way, it would be safer.
After all, the Demonic Cultivators would definitely go into hiding in East Pass City. If they set off for Ling Shan Commandery City at that time, they would have less trouble along the way. At least, they would not be surrounded by Demonic Cultivators.
After accepting the Heavenly Pill Dominator's suggestion, they stayed in East Pass City for five days. On the sixth day, the sun rose, and the gates of East Pass City opened. Troops of East Pass City guards walked out of the city and advanced into the depths of East Sun Region.
After five days of preparation, the Eastern Pass City's great sweep of the Eastern Sun Region had finally begun. The entire Eastern Pass City had mobilized a total of five hundred thousand people. They were divided into more than ten teams, and they were advancing towards the hinterland of the Eastern Sun Region.
The orderly footsteps and the murderous aura gathered by the hundreds of thousands of people accompanied the army out of the city. The entire valley seemed to tremble. The originally spacious valley seemed to have become somewhat narrow and crowded because of the appearance of the hundreds of thousands of people.
Standing atop the city walls, Xiao Chen watched as the army set out. Off to the side, Hegemon Woodheaven looked at Hegemon Pillcloud and said, "Pillcloud, be careful. If anything happens, send a message to me and Heavenpill. The two of us will rush over as soon as possible."
The Heavenly Pill Ruler and the Heavenly Wood Ruler didn't come with him. They had to command this operation, so they couldn't leave.
Hearing the Heavenly Wood Ruler's words, the Pillcloud Ruler nodded slightly. Then, he grabbed Xiao Chen and disappeared into the horizon.
After watching Xiao Chen and the Pillcloud Ruler leave, the Heavenly Pill Ruler and the Heavenly Wood Ruler also soared into the sky. This great sweep of East Pass City should at least cripple all the Demonic Cultivators in the Eastern Sun Region. It would be even better if they could kill a Demon Envoy.
Under the lead of the Pillcloud Ruler, Xiao Chen and the Heavenly Wood Ruler rushed towards Lingshan County City. Perhaps because of the great sweep of East Pass City, Xiao Chen and the Heavenly Wood Ruler didn't encounter any Demonic Cultivators along the way. Obviously, the Demonic Cultivators had hidden themselves.
Their strength was not on the Heavenly Chen Continent's side. Now that the Heavenly Chen Continent was sweeping across the Four Great Regions, the Demonic Cultivators naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to fight head-on. Therefore, the best choice was to hide.
With the Pillcloud Dao Master's speed, they should be able to reach Lingshan County City in half a day.
While Xiao Chen and the Heavenly Wood Ruler were rushing towards Lingshan County City, the news that came from the Demonic Cultivators in Lingshan County City still made people panic. Fortunately, the Xiao Clan appeared and calmed the people down.
However, at this moment, Qin Shuirou's family was also present in the Xiao Clan.
The Falling Cloud City, where the Qin Clan resided, had been attacked by the Demonic Cultivators. Naturally, the Qin Clan couldn't resist the Demonic Cultivators, so they had to seek refuge with the Xiao Clan. Xiao Qing didn't refuse the Qin Clan's arrival.
After accepting the Qin Clan, the Qin Clan settled down in the Xiao Clan. They didn't know that Xiao Chen was already on his way to Lingshan County City. At this moment, Qin Shuirou's father, Qin Lie, and Xiao Qing were sitting together in the Xiao Clan's main hall. From their expressions, it was obvious that they had encountered some trouble.
"Brother Xiao, I'm afraid this matter can't be delayed any longer. The situation in the various cities is worsening by the day. We have to come up with a plan," Qin Lie said as he looked at Xiao Qing.
From Qin Lie's words, it was obvious that the situation in Lingshan County wasn't optimistic.
Back when Xiao Chen became the hidden dragon of the East Sword Pavilion, the Royal Family of Lingfeng Country tried their best to rope in the Xiao Clan. After Xiao Chen went to the Central Divine Realm, they even gave the entire Lingshan County to the Xiao Clan and made it their territory.
As a result, Lingshan County City seemed to have become a country within a country. In this place, the words of the Royal Family of Lingfeng Country were not even as effective as that of the Xiao Clan. Of course, the Royal Family of Lingfeng Country didn't dare to meddle in the affairs of Lingshan County. Everything was decided by the Xiao Clan.
In a sense, the Xiao Clan should have become the ruler of Lingfeng Country. They had their own territory and army. However, the ruler of the Xiao Clan was an existence that even the Royal Family didn't dare to offend. Their status was extraordinary.
It was also because of this that the Xiao Clan developed rapidly. Originally, everything was going smoothly. However, after the outbreak of the war and the appearance of demonic cultivators, everyone was in a state of panic. In Lingshan County, there was a group of people who took advantage of this opportunity to do evil.
Now, in the various cities of Lingshan County, a new underworld gang called the Bright Moon Gang suddenly appeared. This gang was basically formed by people who were usually idle. They relied on their martial arts and coincidentally encountered the current chaos of war. They gathered together and wantonly made a fortune from the war. It could be said that they committed all kinds of evil deeds, such as burning, killing, robbing, and committing all kinds of evil deeds.
Qin Lie was referring to the Bright Moon Gang. Hearing this, Xiao Qing sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Qin, I know what you're talking about. However, what do you want me to do?"
The matter of the Bright Moon Gang wasn't troublesome. The real problem was the internal problems of the Xiao Clan.
