As a member of the Yang family, Yang Zhicheng naturally became the leader of the defense of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Wang Daoyuan and the rest followed Yang Zhicheng to Crouching Tiger Mountain. The mountain peak was shaped like a crouching tiger staring at the foot of the mountain, hence the name of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
The south, west, and north sides of the mountain were steep. Only the east side was a gentle slope.
The spirit vein of Crouching Tiger Mountain was a metal-type spirit vein. Metal-type spirit qi was most suitable for attack.
There was only one upper-grade rank 1 defensive formation on the mountain. This formation was usually enough to defend against demonic beast harassment.
At this time, it was far from enough to defend against beast hordes.
Yang Yong was already prepared. When everyone set off from Clear Glass City, he gave Yang Zhiyuan several sets of formations.
The formation that Yang Zhicheng brought to Crouching Tiger Mountain was called the Gold Demon Soul Severing Formation.
This was an upper-grade rank 2 offensive formation. A person would sit at the core of the formation and control the formation to attack enemies. The attacking method was a second-grade metal-type spell.
After these metal-type spells were strengthened by the formation, they carried a murderous aura. After injuring the enemy, it would corrode the wound and affect the mind.
The spirit vein of Crouching Tiger Mountain was only a lower-grade rank 2. It was somewhat insufficient to activate a upper-grade rank 2 formation.
However, formations set up with formation disks all had an energy storage function. It could store spirit qi when not in use.
In addition, Yang Zhiyuan also brought hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones.
Once the spirit qi stored in the formation disk was insufficient, mid-grade spirit stones could be used to replenish it.
Yang Zhiyuan took out more than twenty formation disks. As long as they were placed in a certain order and filled with spirit stones, people who did not understand formations could easily set them up.
However, it was very difficult to borrow the power of the spirit vein. It needed to draw out the spirit qi in the spirit vein and gather it into the formation disk.
However, among the ten Underworld Sect cultivators that Yang Yong sent, there was one who understood formations.
At this time, this formation master also came to Crouching Tiger Mountain to help set up the formation.
Connecting the formation disk to the spirit vein was a very troublesome matter. It would take several days to complete.
However, there was no need to rush.
According to the information that came back, the demonic beast horde on the south shore of Hundred Rivers had just started fighting.
After the victor was decided, it would take at least ten days to half a month to set up the formation.
Two days later, three flying warships, one big and two small, arrived from the northwest and landed on the Yellow Stone Peak.
It was more than two hundred zhang long and seven to eight zhang wide.
The captain was about ten zhang tall and three zhang wide.
The three flying warships landed on Yellowstone Peak. Not long after, two smaller warships left Yellowstone Peak and flew towards the south.
The remaining large warship stopped at Yellow Stone Peak for a while, then flew towards Jade Bamboo Peak in the northwest direction and stopped there for a while.
Finally, they arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Fifty peak Qi Refinement cultivators and one Foundation Establishment cultivator walked down from the warship.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator cupped his fists at Yang Zhicheng and said, "Daoyou Yang, there are also groups of beasts gathering at Wan Chuan Market. There are even third-order demonic beasts participating.
We have to hurry over to provide support. We can only leave behind these fifty Qi Refinement cultivators to help. "
With that, he instructed the fifty Qi Refinement cultivators to obey Yang Zhiyuan's orders.
Then, they left on a large warship.
Yang Zhiyuan looked at the fifty Qi Refinement cultivators and asked, "What are you good at?"
An old Qi Refinement cultivator stood up and answered, "Senior, we specialize in controlling the Demon Extermination Crossbow. Everyone has one."
The Demon Extermination Crossbow was the huge ballista that shone in the battle of Guiyan Valley.
Using middle-grade spirit stones, it could cause a fatal threat to second-order demonic beasts. It was perfect for dealing with beast herds.
Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then you can choose the location to set up the Demon Extermination Crossbows. If it works well, I will report to Elder Yang and ask for credit for you."
The old cultivator waved his hand and the Qi Refinement cultivators dispersed to find suitable locations to set up the crossbows.
In the end, twenty crossbows were set up on the east side of Crouching Tiger Mountain and ten on the other three sides.
Three days later, the array formation was set up. Yang Zhiyuan tried to control the array formation and there was no problem at all.
The array formation master of the Netherworld Sect also returned to Yellow Stone Peak.
In the next few days, Wang Daoyuan rode Yun Yi every day to patrol the situation of the demonic beasts and report to Yang Zhicheng.
Ten days later, he rode Yun Yi to Emerald Feather Peak.
The demonic beast horde had already crossed the border of the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range and entered Qingli County.
Moreover, the size of the beast horde had already exceeded a thousand.
He immediately ordered Yun Yi to fly towards Crouching Tiger Mountain at full speed.
Fortunately, this beast horde was blocked by the Hundred Rivers Lake and was forced to form.
The Hundred Rivers Lake could only block terrestrial demonic beasts and not demonic birds.
Therefore, there were no demonic birds in the beast horde, so it was much easier for the Foundation Establishment cultivators to deal with the beast horde.
After returning to Crouching Tiger Mountain, he reported the situation to Yang Zhicheng.
Half a day later, the beast horde appeared more than three hundred kilometers away.
Everyone stood on the high mountain and looked at the huge beast horde in the distance. They could still see it clearly.
The demonic beasts did not split up and directly charged towards Yellow Stone Peak.
An hour later, the beast horde arrived at Yellow Stone Peak and surrounded it.
The Thick Earth Formation on Yellow Stone Peak had also been activated, and the entire mountain peak was suffused with an earthy yellow light.
It was too far away, so Wang Daoyuan could not see clearly how the cultivators on Yellow Stone Peak dealt with the demonic beasts.
He only saw the demonic beasts charging a few times and being beaten down.
The demonic beast horde no longer attacked Yellow Stone Peak. They split into two small groups and rushed towards the southwest and northwest respectively.
The small group of demonic beasts that rushed towards the northwest was heading towards Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Fifteen minutes later, the small group of demonic beasts arrived at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
There were more than two hundred demonic beasts in this small group.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the demonic beasts did not surround the entire mountain.
Instead, they began to charge up from the gentle slope east of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
The Gold Fiend Soul Severing Formation on Crouching Tiger Mountain had already been activated, but it did not reveal a defensive light barrier.
However, there was always a feeling of murderous intent in the formation.
The area covered by the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Formation was not large. It only covered the top of the mountain that was a thousand feet tall.
The demonic beasts quickly rushed halfway up the mountain. They were only about a mile away from the top of the mountain.
They had already entered the killing range of the Demon Extermination Crossbows. However, the crossbows did not attack.
Before long, the demonic beasts entered the range of the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Formation.
Yang Zhicheng shouted, "Flying swords!"
19 flying swords charged towards the demonic beast horde. Wang Daoyuan also used the Flat Wave Sword.
However, the power of the Flat Wave Sword was too weak. He aimed at an inferior-grade Class 2 leopard and slashed at it. The leopard dodged.
The Flat Wave Sword struck a middle-grade Class 2 wild boar beside it and only managed to sever a few strands of its mane.
A few cultivators at the side even let out disdainful chuckles.
It was truly embarrassing. He retracted his flying swords and waited for the demonic beasts to get closer before whipping them with the Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip.
At that moment, without Yang Zhicheng's command, the 20 Demon Extermination Crossbows on the east side of the mountain fired in unison. 20 beams of light pierced through the demonic beast horde.
Unfortunately, the demonic beasts reacted too quickly and most of them dodged the attack. Only seven demonic beasts that were slower were killed and more than ten were injured.
After firing in unison, the Demon Extermination Crossbows needed three breaths of time to replace their middle-grade spirit stones.
The demonic beasts took the opportunity to rush up rapidly. The leopard that dodged the Flat Wave Sword earlier was the most energetic.
It relied on its agility to dodge the attacks of the flying swords several times in a row and rushed to less than 500 feet away from the top of the mountain.
Wang Daoyuan had already put away the Flat Wave Sword and held the Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip in his hand.
As soon as the leopard entered the range of 500 feet, he lashed out with the whip and aimed at the leopard's head.
The leopard dodged hurriedly and barely dodged the attack.
Before it landed on the ground, the force of the second whip had already landed on its body. The leopard died on the spot.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan finish off a demonic beast of the same level so cleanly, the expression of the cultivator who mocked him earlier changed.
