The ownership of the three demonic beast corpses was a bit troublesome. The three Li family members helped to hold back the three demonic beasts, but the Wang family contributed even more. It was not appropriate for anyone to take the three demonic beast corpses.
Wang Daoyuan thought to himself: The Li family wants to be friendly, and Li Xinghe is a good friend of the patriarch. Outside the Gold Goose City, the patriarch took the initiative to help the Li family out, so he should also want to be friendly with the Li family.
This time, the Li family helped, so they owed them a small favor. It would be better to give the three demonic beast corpses to the Li family to return the favor and express their goodwill.
So, he said: "This time, thanks to the help of the three Daoyou, my Wang family members would have been injured or killed. Please accept these three demonic beast corpses."
The Li Clan's Patriarch, Li Xinghe, said, "Little friend, you're too polite. These three juniors of my Li Clan are useless and didn't help much. It's all thanks to little friend's over twenty talismans that we were able to kill these three demonic beasts.
The two of them pushed and pushed for a while, and finally decided that the Li family would take two demonic beasts and the Wang family would take one.
The three Li family members did not lose anything and earned two demonic beast corpses, which were worth fifty to sixty spirit stones, so they were all happy. Wang Daoyuan got one demonic beast corpse. Although its value was far less than the twenty talismans, he did not care about it. As long as he could form a good relationship with the Li family, this loss was not a big deal.
After eliminating the second wave of demonic beasts, the demonic beasts seemed to have given up on probing the small hill, and no more demonic beasts came. Wang Daoyuan finally had some time to check the situation of the whole battlefield.
Most of the demonic beasts struggled to climb up the cliff on the left side of the small hill, so few demonic beasts went to probe. The families guarding the hill were all idle.
The flat ground on the right side of the small hill was very lively. Thousands of demonic beasts rushed forward without any regard for their lives. The Yang family led several families to rely on the earthen wall and shoot the demonic beasts with spirit crossbows. When the demonic beasts rushed close, they would use talismans to greet them.
As for the cultivators, they were able to easily block the demonic beasts twenty steps away. Twenty steps in front of the wall, more than a thousand corpses of demonic beasts were piled up. The pile of corpses was no shorter than the wall.
With the obstruction of the corpses, the damage caused by the spirit crossbows became less and less. On the other hand, the Demonic Beasts' charge became stronger with each wave. There were even Demonic Beasts that rushed to the edge of the earth wall. If this continued, the demonic beasts would be able to break through the earthen wall in less than half an hour.
On the east side of the Carriage Gorge, more than a thousand people were lying in ambush. Most of them were from the old families and the direct descendants of the Underworld Sect who were close to the old families. Other than the team led by Yang Zhiyuan, who faced the Demonic Beast horde head-on, the other teams faced fewer Demonic Beasts.
It had to be said that the Yang Family was quite popular. Once they were in a tight spot, the other teams immediately sent reinforcements to help the Yang Family stabilize the defensive line.
However, the number of cultivators who came as reinforcements was relatively small. There were only about a hundred of them. After all, the other teams still had to look after their own lines of defense. If too many reinforcements came, their own lines of defense would not be able to hold. After that, they would definitely be dealt with by the Netherworld Sect.
Half an hour later, under the onslaught of wave after wave of demonic beasts, the earthen wall that Yang Zhiyuan had built collapsed. Thousands of demonic beasts directly charged into the group of cultivators, and both sides engaged in a hand-to-hand battle.
Wang Daoyuan was very puzzled by the battle situation. The Demonic Beasts were already trapped. Not only did the cultivators on the west side of the Carriage Gorge not strike while the iron was hot and eliminate the Demonic Beasts in one fell swoop, they instead allowed the Demonic Beasts to attack the east side of the gorge where their forces were weak. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like they were borrowing the hands of the Demonic Beasts to exhaust the strength of the Old Family.
Wang Daoyuan's guess was very accurate. More than ten li to the west of the Carriage Gorge, three Violet Mansion Elders were discussing in a low voice.
Liu Jinhui anxiously said, "Two Elders wanting to exhaust the Old Family's strength is not a big deal. However, don't let your personal interests get the better of you. If the Demonic Beasts escape, the one who will suffer the greatest loss will be our Netherworld Sect. Two Elders should stop before going too far. If you don't attack, the Demonic Beasts will all escape. "
Zhou Qi nodded and said, "Elder Liu's words are reasonable. Let's stop before going too far and look at the big picture."
The black-robed old man was eager for the Old Family to be exterminated. He was also the one who strongly advocated the idea of borrowing the hands of the Old Family. Elder Liu and Elder Zhou had nothing to do with the Old Family. The black-robed old man insisted again and again, even bringing up Elder Jin. The two of them could not refuse.
At this time, the cultivators on the east side of the gorge had suffered heavy casualties. It was only a matter of time before the Demonic Beasts broke through the encirclement. Although the black-robed old man wanted to exterminate the Old Family, it did not mean that he wanted to sacrifice his own future. If the Demonic Beasts were to escape, the three Violet Mansion Elders would suffer.
Therefore, the black-robed old man did not object. At Zhou Qi's command, the three thousand cultivators lying in ambush on the west side of the Carriage Gorge pounced on the Demonic Beasts like hungry tigers released from their cages.
A moment later, the three thousand cultivators charged into the horde of Demonic Beasts. After many rounds of exhaustion, there were only about four thousand Demonic Beasts left. There were less than three thousand Demonic Beasts.
More than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators flew in the air on their magic tools, encircling the Demonic Beasts. In addition, there were dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators assisting the Qi Condensation cultivators on the ground in cleaning up the Demonic Beasts.
At this time, there was no need to talk about breaking through the encirclement. The entire battlefield had turned into a pot of porridge. Occasionally, a few Demonic Beasts would try to take advantage of the chaos to escape. As soon as they left the battlefield, they would be beheaded by the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were watching the battle.
Based on the current situation, the Demonic Beasts and Demonic Beasts were destined to be wiped out. However, in this kind of chaotic battle, there would be a lot of casualties.
The Netherworld Sect's own cultivators were well-equipped and were the last to enter the battle, so there would not be too many casualties. However, it was hard to say for the cultivators of the Old Family.
Wang Daoyuan secretly made up his mind: After returning, the Old Family should change their target. In the past, they wholeheartedly wanted to integrate into the Netherworld Sect, but now it seemed that it was not reliable. The Yang Family had a Violet Mansion Elder in the Netherworld Sect, but this time, they were also cheated.
Even if the Wang Family had Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Netherworld Sect, they could not be compared to the Yang Family. When the time came, wouldn't they be cannon fodder? Swallowing their anger and humiliation and joining the Netherworld Sect, was it just to be cannon fodder?
Only a crafty rabbit with three burrows could avoid death. The Wang Family only had the Netherworld Sect, which was not taken seriously by the Netherworld Sect. Now that the Netherworld Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace frequently fought, who knew when they would be used as cannon fodder and pulled to the front line.
After all, the Wang Family's enmity with the Cruel Sun Palace had long been off the charts. It was simply the best bait.
For the continuation of the Old Family, there must be a way out. After this battle, he had to persuade the Old Family to make early plans.
The battle under the small hill was already one-sided. At most, the battle would be over in four to six hours, and there would be time to clean up the battlefield.
The cultivators who did not participate in the chaotic battle also relaxed their vigilance. They would be able to go home soon.
Wang Daoxing also said happily, "This time, it was really fun to fight. Unfortunately, we have to go home now."
The six granduncles were also in a good mood. When they came out, they were already mentally prepared to not be able to go back. However, if they could go back alive, no one wanted to die.
Wang Daoyuan was afraid that if they were too relaxed, they would not be able to react in time. He reminded them, "It's not that simple. Everyone, don't relax your vigilance."
Everyone had a look of surprise. Only Wang Shouye laughed lightly, "You also noticed something wrong? Why don't you tell us? Let's see if the two of us have the same judgment. "
Wang Daoyuan took out a soundproof talisman to prevent others from eavesdropping. He then said, "This group of demonic beasts advance and retreat in a measured manner. It's as if someone is commanding them to fight.
Also, that black wind when they ambushed the caravan can increase the killing range of the spell. I've never heard of a human cultivator or demonic beast having such a spell.
It could be a secret spell created by a human cultivator, or the spell of a mutated demonic beast. It could also be some kind of magic tool.
In my opinion, no matter what the situation is, it's impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to use such a spell.
This group of demonic beasts is not as simple as they appear on the surface. At the very least … "
Wang Shouye laughed lightly, "At the very least, there's a third rank demonic beast or a Zifu Realm cultivator hiding in the background. The only reasonable explanation for the hidden one revealing his methods is that he wants more Underworld Sect elders to come.
Since he used more than ten thousand demonic beasts as the price to set up this trap, it definitely won't end so easily. His goal is definitely not to deal with us small fries. It's very likely that he's targeting the Underworld Sect elders.
The hidden one used so many demonic beasts as bait to fish for the Underworld Sect elders. He should have enough means to deal with the three elders.
The Underworld Sect should also have a backup plan. Next, it'll depend on who's stronger.
Unless the hidden one feels that he has no chance of winning and stops attacking. Otherwise, a great battle between Zifu Realm cultivators is right in front of us. We Qi Refinement small fries should hurry up and think of a way to save our lives! "
Wang Daoyuan thought to himself, Patriarch really has a good eye for people. Twelfth Uncle usually has a sloppy appearance and is too lazy to care about anything. But he's indeed cut out to be a patriarch. His eyesight and judgment are definitely not below mine.
The Underworld Sect used dozens of carriages as bait to fish for demonic beasts. The other party also used demonic beasts to fish for the Underworld Sect. The Underworld Sect very likely has a backup plan. Both sides are old schemers. It'll depend on who's the final fisherman.
The other eight people of the Wang Clan were shocked. They thought that they were going to go home. They didn't expect that it would be "the rat pulling the shovel — the big head is at the back".
Seeing that everyone was out of their wits, Wang Daoyuan simply stopped talking nonsense: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Be prepared. Once something happens, first take out a defensive talisman to protect yourself. Then look for an opportunity to escape.
Remember, don't be the first to escape. Otherwise, you'll definitely be dealt with later. If you run when there are more than 50 people running away, the Underworld Sect won't be able to find fault with us afterwards.
Also, you must run separately. Once the enemy makes a move, his strength is definitely not something we can resist. There's no point in gathering together. On the contrary, it's easy to attract attention.
After escaping, don't return to Gold Goose City, so as to avoid being caught by the Underworld Sect as a scapegoat. Directly return to Jade Spring Peak. "
Wang Shouye didn't have any objections. The others were already stunned. They only knew to nod blankly. Naturally, they also couldn't raise any opinions.
Wang Daoyuan gave everyone another five talismans for escaping. They quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
There were fewer and fewer demonic beasts and birds on the battlefield. Wang Daoyuan also became more and more nervous. The hidden one could make a move at any time. Clearly knowing that something was going to happen, but being powerless to stop it. They couldn't even escape in advance. They could only wait for the crisis to arrive. This kind of feeling was suffocating.
The demonic beasts on the battlefield were quickly eliminated. The cultivators of the Underworld Sect were all cleaning up the battlefield. Such a good thing naturally wouldn't happen to non-members of the Underworld Sect, let alone the cultivators of the old clans.
After eliminating all the demonic beasts and birds, Wang Zhian returned to the small hill. After all, he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Wang clan. He was also taken away to deal with the demonic beasts. Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee the situation, the Qi Disciple cultivators might suffer heavy losses.
Wang Zhian landed on the small hill. Seeing that none of his clansmen were killed or injured, he was a little surprised.
Wang Daoyuan used sound transmission to report the process of the battle with the demonic beasts, as well as his and Wang Shouye's speculations. Before the sound transmission finished, they heard a buzzing sound of insects flapping their wings. A moment later, the sound of flapping wings was like thunder, constantly echoing in the entire valley.
