Daoist Cloudsword of the Taiyi Sword Sect sucked in a breath of cold air. "Sky Devil Valley is a terrible place. The demonic turmoil ten thousand years ago was caused by Sky Devil Valley."
Wang Daoyuan was shocked to hear this.
During the demonic turmoil ten thousand years ago, the human forces suffered heavy casualties.
The remaining Yuanying cultivators of the human race were all killed in the war, which barely quelled the turmoil.
Since then, the human race's strength had been greatly reduced and they were suppressed by the demon race.
However, he was still unclear about the situation in Sky Devil Valley.
He asked Daoist Thunderflame, "Master, what is the origin of this Sky Devil Valley? How could it cause such a great turmoil?"
Daoist Thunderflame's expression was grave. "Sky Devil Valley was the main battlefield of the great war. Many high-level demons died here.
The rest of the demon race also collected demon corpses and buried them in Sky Devil Valley.
It could be said that this place was the demon race's graveyard.
The demonic aura in Sky Devil Valley was so strong that any human cultivator who approached would be disturbed by it.
Some cultivators with weaker willpower would even go mad.
Some demons used the demonic aura to defend Sky Devil Valley.
The great elders of the past set up a great formation to suppress the demonic aura.
Not all of the demons from that time died. Some were hidden deep under Sky Devil Valley, and the great elders of the past didn't have the time to eliminate them.
The turmoil ten thousand years ago was caused by some demons using a secret blood sacrifice to create a hole in the formation, releasing many Yuanying demons.
Now that ten thousand years have passed, I'm the only Yuanying cultivator in the entire Beiyuan Xiuxian.
If the demons release more Yuanying demons, we won't be able to resist. "
Daoist Cloudcrane hurriedly asked, "Daoyuan, can you confirm how many beasts and demon corpses the demons have collected?"
Wang Daoyuan shook his head. "The demon cultivator I took down was just a small fry.
He only heard about the demons in Sky Devil Valley when he was chatting with others, so he didn't know the details. "
Master Lei Yan stood up. "Although Sky Devil Valley's array has been repaired, it's still not as good as before. It's hard for it to last another thirty years.
If the demons really summon a few more Yuanying demons from the Heavenly Devil Valley, it will be very difficult for us to take them down.
If we lose, the entire Beiyuan Xiuxian will be in danger of being destroyed. "
Then, he took out a map. "This is the map of the Demon Resisting Mountain. Let's discuss our countermeasures.
To be on the safe side, we should first check to see if any of you have been manipulated by the Demon Race.
After discussing the plan, everyone will use a secret technique to protect this memory so that the demons won't know about it. "
Immortal Cloudcrane then took out a silver circular mirror.
This mirror was only the size of a palm, and its frame and back were engraved with divine beast patterns.
Immortal Cloudcrane smiled. "This is the Hundred Beasts Mirror. It used to be a seventh-grade magical item.
During the refining process, the souls of over a hundred different kinds of divine beasts were fused into it. It had a strong deterrent effect on the Demon Race.
Low-level demons would be scared out of their wits if they were to be shone on by this mirror.
Although it has fallen to the fourth grade now, demons and cultivators who practice the Demon Race's cultivation methods will never be able to hide from the Hundred Beasts Mirror. "
Wang Daoyuan put away the Black Devil's Robe and stood in front of Immortal Cloudcrane.
Immortal Cloudcrane injected his spiritual energy into the mirror, and the divine beast patterns on the mirror seemed to come alive, exuding the might of divine beasts.
If a demon were to be under this mirror, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
The mirror also emitted a white light that shone on Wang Daoyuan's body.
Some black smoke appeared on his body, but it quickly dissipated as soon as it touched the surface of his body.
Immortal Cloudcrane nodded and then began to shine the mirror on the others.
There were only a few people in the hall to begin with, so they were soon checked and found that there was no problem.
After everyone checked the map with their spiritual sense, Immortal Cloudsword said, "Although the information brought back by Daoyuan indicates that the Demon Race is likely to be targeting the Heavenly Devil Valley, we can't rule out other possibilities.
In case the Yuanying Demons appear in other places, they might want to use the Heavenly Devil Valley as bait to lure us in and kill us in one fell swoop.
The Demon Race isn't as stupid as the Monster Race, they can also set up formations.
If we go there rashly, we may be ambushed. "
The others nodded in agreement.
The Demon Race's innate intelligence was not inferior to that of the Human Race, and they had many methods similar to the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.
If they were to storm the Heavenly Devil Valley, they would definitely suffer great losses.
While everyone was at a loss, Immortal Cloudflame asked, "What do you think, Daoyuan?
We may not be young and have rich experience in combat, but we've never had two armies face off like this.
When the Zhao Clan was reinstated, you commanded their forces and swept the north of the Myriad Rivers.
In this regard, you're stronger than us. How do you think we should fight? "
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "There's a saying in the art of war: 'Don't attack a dignified formation without the banner of righteousness.'
The Demon Race has already set up defenses in the Heavenly Devil Valley, namely the banner of righteousness and the formation of dignified formation.
If we storm the place, we'll be violating a military taboo.
Even if we win, we'll suffer heavy casualties.
At that time, I'm afraid the Monster Race will take advantage of us.
But we don't know how long it'll take for the Demon Race to break the formation of the Heavenly Devil Valley.
If it's quickly broken, I'm afraid we'll have to storm the place.
If it's still early, we can play with the Demon Race. "
Immortal Cloudcrane replied, "The Demon Race has begun to tamper with the formation of the Heavenly Devil Valley recently.
Ten thousand years ago, it took the Devil Race more than thirty years to break the array.
Although the formation is not as good as it used to be, the Demon Race has less resources.
Conservatively speaking, it'll take ten to twenty years to break the formation. It's also possible that it'll take more than thirty years.
We still have plenty of time to play with them. "
Hearing this, Wang Daoyuan was relieved, "If that's the case, we'll be able to solve the problem of the Heavenly Devil Valley with fewer casualties."
Hearing this, Immortal Xuantian asked, "What brilliant plan does Martial Nephew Daoyuan have? Please tell us in detail."
The main mission of the Archaic Mysteries Sect was to guard the West Sea. If they suffered too many casualties in the Southern Wasteland, the West Sea would be in chaos again.
"Since the Demon Race wants to break the formation, they'll need the blood sacrifice method.
We can't easily attack the Heavenly Devil Valley, because that'll cut off their source of essence blood.
The Demon Race won't have many people, so the blood sacrifice will mainly depend on ferocious beasts and Blood Demon cultivators.
Most of the Blood Demon cultivators will listen to our orders.
As long as Master gives the order, the Blood Demon cultivators will return to their own territories and not go out easily.
The Demon Race's source of essence blood will be much smaller.
The only thing left that can be used as a source of essence blood is ferocious beasts.
The ferocious beasts near the Demon Resisting Mountain have probably been slaughtered long ago.
To obtain the essence blood of ferocious beasts, they'll have to go to a place far away from the Demon Resisting Mountain.
In this way, the Demon Race cultivators who kill the ferocious beasts will have to travel a long way.
We'll send more people to intercept and kill these Demon Race cultivators.
As long as we can cut off their source of essence blood, the Demon Race won't be able to perform the blood sacrifice method and have no means of breaking the formation.
At that time, the Demon Race will have to leave the Heavenly Devil Valley and fight with us.
As long as the Demon Race dares to come out, we'll have the chance to annihilate them.
As for how to intercept them, we'll have to wait for information and see where the Demon Race will send people to hunt ferocious beasts. "
Daoist Master Han Shuang smiled, "Although my Wind Snow Deity Palace doesn't have any experience in dealing with the Demon Race, if we fight in the wilderness, our spells won't be afraid of the Demon Race."
The spells of the Wind Snow Deity Palace were mainly used for large-scale damage.
Fighting in the wilderness was their forte.
The others also agreed. As long as they didn't attack the heavily guarded Heavenly Devil Valley, fighting in other places was still acceptable.
His disciple came up with a good idea, and Daoist Master Lei Yan's face also lit up, "Daoyou's plan is brilliant. As for how to implement it, Daoyou and I will have to discuss it carefully."
