The demonic beasts were not fools. Seeing thousands of people lying in ambush on the east side, they naturally did not dare to force their way in. The humans were already prepared. This time, they would not be able to take advantage of the situation. Under the lead of a few rank two demonic beasts, the group of beasts retreated to the west.
The Netherworld Sect had carefully set up a trap with more than a hundred people as bait. The big fish had finally taken the bait. How could they let it escape?
Of the five thousand cultivators recruited by the Netherworld Sect, only more than a hundred were bait and one thousand were lying in ambush on the east side of the Guiyan Valley. The other four thousand were not just for show.
As expected, the demonic beasts retreating to the west side of the valley were hit by countless talismans and magic weapons as soon as they reached the edge of the valley.
The demonic beasts immediately retreated and ran north along the valley. South was the Carriage Gorge. Going in was definitely a dead end. The demonic beasts did not dare to go in. The demonic beasts were not afraid. Some of them flew south.
After fleeing to the north for less than a mile, hundreds of cultivators suddenly appeared and blocked the entrance of the valley. As soon as the demonic beasts approached, they were beaten up again.
The demonic beasts that fled south were also fed. Before they could fly far, dozens of flying swords rose into the air. In an instant, two to three hundred demonic beasts fell down. Their feathers fell all over the ground.
The cultivators blocking the two ends of the valley were dressed in a mess of strange clothes. They should be rogue cultivators recruited. Although they looked like a mob, their combat power was really not weak. They stunned the demonic beasts and demonic beasts as soon as they attacked.
Seeing the strength of the rogue cultivators, Wang Daoyuan secretly exclaimed in his heart. He thought that the rogue cultivators did not have a systematic inheritance and guidance. The path of cultivation was difficult and the progress of cultivation was slow, so their strength should not be strong.
But he did not expect the rogue cultivators to be so strong. Their combat power far exceeded that of the disciples of sects and clans of the same level. It seemed that he had to be careful when he met rogue cultivators in the future.
In fact, not all rogue cultivators could fight. It was just that the rogue cultivators recruited by the Netherworld Sect were at least in the late stage of Qi Refinement.
Rogue cultivators did not have wealth, companions, spells, or land. Their aptitude was not very good. Those who could cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refinement had not gone through untold hardships, not to mention the Foundation Establishment cultivators among the rogue cultivators.
In terms of combat power, such people were naturally far stronger than the disciples of sects and clans who grew up in a greenhouse.
The demonic beasts and demonic birds also saw that these rogue cultivators were not to be trifled with, so they did not dare to charge towards the rogue cultivators.
Currently, they were surrounded on all sides, and none of them were easy to deal with. Staying where they were was equivalent to waiting for death. Regardless of whether it was easy to fight or not, they had to find a place to break out.
After pondering for a while, the group of Second Rank Demonic Beasts all agreed to break out of the encirclement towards the flat ground on the east side of the canyon.
The team that Wang Daoyuan was in was precisely the tiger that blocked the Demonic Beasts' escape.
At this point, the demonic beasts were all in a hurry to run for their lives. They didn't have the mood to test the waters and just charged forward.
Seeing this, Yang Zhiyuan ordered loudly, "Leave ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators to deal with the Second Rank Demonic Beast. The rest of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, go intercept the demonic bird."
All the Foundation Establishment cultivators agreed. Then, more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators shot into the sky and charged towards the demonic bird. Wang Zhian was among them.
Before Wang Zhian left, he instructed the members of the Wang Clan via voice transmission, "Dao Yuan is in charge of everything here. Those who dare to disobey Dao Yuan's orders will be served according to the clan's rules."
Elder Wang Zhiming and Elder Wang Shouye, one was only interested in concocting pills and the other was only interested in drinking wine. They were too lazy to care about the clan's affairs, so they naturally didn't have any objections.
The other six were all wily old foxes. Since the two elders didn't have any objections, they also didn't dare to raise any objections.
Wang Daoxing had a fiery temper, but he was a martial arts fanatic. He didn't have any feelings towards power or whatnot. As long as there was a fight, it was the same no matter who he listened to.
Since everyone didn't have any objections, they tacitly approved of Wang Daoyuan's leadership position.
Wang Zhian then sent a voice transmission to Wang Daoyuan alone, "I believe in your ability. Try your best to let the clansmen return alive. You mustn't be too soft-hearted. When it's hard to have the best of both worlds, I believe you can make the right choice in order to protect the clan's future. "
Wang Daoyuan's heart trembled. The clan leader's words meant that if there was no other choice, they could give up on the six granduncles and save the lives of the four of them.
These six granduncles' cultivation talent wasn't good, and they also didn't have any special skills. Usually, they were outside of Jade Spring Peak, taking care of the clan's various businesses. Wang Daoyuan had only seen them a few times, but they were still a family after all. Now that he might have to abandon them, Wang Daoyuan felt somewhat apologetic.
However, he was also clear that if it really came down to a life and death situation, giving up on the six granduncles and giving the others a chance to survive was the best choice for the clan.
As a clan's descendant, the survival of the clan was the most important thing. Personal life and death could only be placed second. The six granduncles were already old. Between passing away in a sitting posture in the cave or dying in a battle outside, they hoped that dying in a battle could also be exchanged for some cultivation resources for their descendants.
As long as their descendants were still alive and the clan's legacy continued, their achievements wouldn't be forgotten.
Thinking up to this point, Wang Daoyuan also felt relieved. Immediately after, he announced everyone's battle mission.
The six granduncles didn't have any special skills. Their cultivations were also at the seventh or eighth layer of Qi Refining, but they were experienced with age. Perhaps they didn't have any praiseworthy skills when it came to killing enemies, but when it came to preserving their lives, they were all top-notch experts.
After all, at their age, what kind of situation hadn't they experienced before? This wasn't the first time they had experienced a situation like this. Being able to live until now, who didn't have some survival skills?
Therefore, Wang Daoyuan decided to put them at the forefront and act according to the circumstances. With their rich survival experience, the probability of them surviving was far higher than the two rookies Wang Daoyuan and Wang Daoxing.
In addition, Wang Daoyuan had enough defensive talismans. As long as they didn't fight to the death with a large number of monstrous beasts, the safety of the six granduncles was still guaranteed.
The Twelfth Uncle's granduncle, Wang Zhiming, was an expert in alchemy and healing. In terms of fights of magical power, he really didn't have any praiseworthy skills. If he were to fight with monstrous beasts, he wouldn't be able to display much of his strength. It was better to let him treat the injured clansmen at any time.
On the other hand, Wang Shouye and Wang Daoxing were both relatively good at fights of magical power. They were placed in the second line as the mobile force, choosing their own opportunities to act.
Although Wang Daoyuan wasn't strong in fights of magical power, the hundreds of talismans in his hands were not to be trifled with. If he threw out a hundred and eighty talismans, who below the Foundation Establishment realm could withstand it? Therefore, he was the main attacker of the entire team and naturally stayed at the back.
No one had any objections to Wang Daoyuan's arrangement. Only Wang Daoxing was a bit dissatisfied and protested to Wang Daoyuan, "Seventh Brother, I'll stay at the front. It's not fun to kill monstrous beasts in the back."
Before Wang Daoyuan could say anything, Wang Shouye scolded from the side, "Be honest and listen to me. Your aptitude is very good. Although your alcohol tolerance isn't good, if you can reach the Foundation Establishment realm, your future will be limitless. Don't play around with your life."
Hearing Wang Shouye talk about his alcohol tolerance, he felt a bit embarrassed. However, he didn't want to give up so easily. He secretly circulated his spiritual power, and a faint layer of golden light enveloped his body. His skin was like golden glass.
Wang Daoyuan could tell that this was a body refinement technique, but he didn't know what it was called.
Wang Shouye was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only whisper, "You've reached the second level of the Lustrous Golden Body Art?"
Wang Daoxing nodded proudly.
Wang Daoyuan finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Wang Daoxing had successfully cultivated the Lustrous Golden Body Art collected by the clan.
The Lustrous Golden Body Art was a profound body refinement technique that Wang Chengzu had accidentally obtained when he was still alive.
This technique had a total of nine levels. When cultivated to the peak, one's physical body would be comparable to a high-grade third-grade magic tool. With just the physical body, one would be able to fight a late-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator.
However, when Wang Chengzu obtained this technique, it was incomplete and could only cultivate to the fourth level. His physical body was comparable to a high-grade second-grade magic tool.
The Lustrous Golden Body Art was very powerful, but it also had high requirements for the cultivator. It required a metal spiritual root of more than eight inches or a metal spiritual body.
Wang Daoyuan also wanted to cultivate this technique, but he gave up when he saw the requirements. With his two-inch metal spiritual root, he wouldn't be able to reach the second level even if he cultivated for a lifetime.
In the entire clan, he had never heard of anyone reaching the second level. Wang Daoyuan had also never seen anyone use it. Therefore, he didn't recognize that Wang Daoxing was using the Lustrous Golden Body Art. He only remembered this technique after hearing Wang Shouye's words.
When the Lustrous Golden Body Art was cultivated to the second level, one's physical strength would be comparable to a cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refinement.
Coupled with the fact that his physical body was extremely strong, it was normal for him to defeat a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
With such a strong physical body, it would be difficult for a first-grade demonic beast to injure him. It wouldn't be a problem for him to be placed at the front.
