Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the cultivators had the absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, more and more reinforcements were rushing over. Even if the outsiders were strong, they could not hold them off. Finally, after seriously injuring two Heaven Monarch Realm experts, the entire defense line of the outsiders collapsed.
The outsiders fled frantically while the cultivators chased after them with all their might. They killed everything in their path. Any outsider who fell behind would be drowned by thousands of cultivators. There was no chance for them to survive.
Lei Xingfeng led a large group of people and chased after them. There were thousands of cultivators behind him. Wu Yang and Gao Ye were also by his side. Then, there were more than ten True Lords and the rest were Perfected Persons. With the three of them as the arrowhead, they would occasionally take a bite out of the defeated outsiders. Then, they would be attacked by the people behind them. They killed their way through while dripping with blood.
Even Lei Xingfeng did not expect the other side to collapse. However, he quickly reacted. This was still a matter of strength. There was no technique, no conspiracy, and no effective organization. There was only a contest of strength. Whoever had more people and bigger fists would definitely win. There would be no accidents.
Then, Lei Xingfeng saw a city wall. It was an extremely tall city wall.
The outsiders were like herded rabbits. They rushed into the gate under the city wall. Lei Xingfeng and the rest only had time to stop the tail of the outsiders.
The city wall was filled with outsiders. Then, Lei Xingfeng saw the tall tower behind the city wall. He hurriedly ordered, "Retreat!" He turned around and ran. Then, he saw the tall tower flicker. A large ball of fire fell. In a moment, a dense fireball came whistling. However, Lei Xingfeng and the rest had already retreated far away. They saw a huge fire in front of the city wall.
A plume of black smoke rose, and soon, a strange meaty aroma wafted over.
These were the outsiders who died in front of the city wall. There were also Perfected Persons who did not have time to retreat. They were burned alive.
All the cultivators retreated far away. From here, they could clearly see the city walls and the huge fire in front of the city walls. Lei Xingfeng knew that this fire was not ordinary fire. It was a fire that contained some kind of energy and characteristics, so much so that a real person could not resist it.
Wu Yang said, "A Feng, what do you think?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "It's simple. Let the Elder Ancestor come out and destroy the tower and the city walls. Otherwise, there will be heavy casualties, and we may not be able to take it down." He knew very well that defending a city was much more advantageous than attacking a city, especially with the tower. Even if he used his life to fill it, he might not be able to fill it up.
Gao Ye sneered and said, "Ancestor Dao Lord is willing to step in?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "We have to show up. Every one of our men is one less. They can't afford to lose them."
Wu Yang said, "I calculated that we lost at least a thousand men in this battle."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Not that many. Many of them were injured. If they had better medicine, they would recover quickly. Only four to five hundred died."
Wu Yang sighed and said, "This is already a lot. It's equivalent to a small secret sect."
XinFeng asked curiously, "There aren't many experts from the other races, most of them are similar to our True Masters. This time, their casualties are much worse than ours, at least a thousand to a thousand five hundred of them died, and the injuries are not included."
Wu Yang nodded and said, "I thought they were too strong at the beginning. Once the battle started, I understood that they were not our match."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Alright, we don't have to worry about what happens next. The Heavenly Monarchs will definitely report the current situation. The Elder Ancestor should be here soon."
A large group of people still stood beside Lei Xingfeng and the other two. Lei Xingfeng called out and said, "You guys form teams and go hunting in the forest. Leave half of you to wait and boil water." He naturally became the leader of this group. As for his own team, they had already dispersed. Now, the members couldn't find the leader, and the leader didn't care about the members.
Fortunately, Lei Xingfeng was a Heavenly Monarch. Moreover, there were three of them here. Of course, these people would listen to their orders.
A battle consumed a lot of energy. Many people were hungry after the intense battle. Therefore, no one disobeyed Lei Xingfeng's orders. Immediately, a group of people scattered into the forest to hunt. In this forest, there were countless wild animals. It was too convenient to find food.
There were eight secret doors and eight directions. Some lucky cultivators didn't even see a shadow along the way. They even hunted a lot of prey. Only two groups of people had it tough. Lei Xingfeng's group and another group, but they all came to the city wall in the end.
This was a circular city wall that completely covered the gap in the mountain range. It was about 15 or 16 kilometers long. Behind the city was that strangely straight road.
There were a total of 16 tall towers built along the city wall. They were all steeples, different from the ones in the Forbidden Land. This should be a technology unique to the foreign tribes.
The first to come out of the forest were Chui and Little Chui. The two of them dragged iron chains out of the forest. There were dozens of suzuka tied to the chains. These suzuka weren't big and were about the size of a big dog. No one knew how the two of them hunted, but they actually hunted dozens of them in one go. They tied them to the chains and dragged them all the way here.
Chui said in a muffled voice, "I'm hungry. Let's eat something first. Only then will I have the energy to hunt big guys."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Skin them yourself and cook them in the pot."
Wu Yang said, "Let's go. We'll go to the forest too."
Lei Xingfeng knew what the founder wanted to do. He planned to go back to the Mirror World. He said, "Okay, let's go together." Then he pulled Gao Ye and the three of them quickly entered the forest.
Back in the Mirror World, Lei Xingfeng shouted, "Fatty, Old Fatty, come quickly!"
Someone immediately notified Jin Dapang. Soon, Jin Dapang ran over and said, "You're back for dinner?"
Lei Xingfeng nodded. "Hurry up. Don't make it complicated. Something simple is fine. We still have to go back." He and Wu Yang didn't want to eat the food outside. It was pig food, so they sneaked back. Jin Dapang's food was for people to eat.
Jin Dapang said, "Yes, there's ready-made food." He immediately ordered his subordinates to bring up the food.
The Mirror World was their place to rest and breathe. It was peaceful here. As long as they returned, their hearts couldn't help but calm down. They had killed so many people along the way. Although they had killed outsiders, the cultivators had also suffered heavy casualties. They didn't feel good about it. Being able to come back and calm down was the greatest comfort. They all knew that the next step would be even crueler.
Just as they started eating, they saw Yu Kou, Xin Zhaolun, and Qi Meiyun appear. The three of them had actually sneaked back. Qi Meiyun shouted, "Wow, founder, A Feng, you guys are so rude. You didn't even call us when you came back to eat." With that, she rushed into the wooden hut. She didn't act like a lady at all and grabbed a piece of meat to eat.
Yu Kou and Xin Zhaolun didn't even say a word. They directly went to the table and started eating.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Have you arranged everything over there?"
Yu Kou said, "Arranged my ass. It's a mess. They're fighting for food. I can't do anything about it. I just came back to take a breather."
Lei Xingfeng also couldn't be bothered. After all, they weren't from their secret sect. If they wanted to steal, then so be it. With a source of food, it wouldn't be too chaotic. Cultivators were all good hunters. As long as they could hunt, they wouldn't have to worry about food. The previous food shortage was only because they were confined to the canyon and couldn't go out.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Let's eat quickly and go back early. Otherwise, if a Dao Lord comes, we won't be here."
Wu Yang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go after eating."
After returning to the forest, Lei Xingfeng and the others walked out. It was still a mess outside. Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "How can we fight in this state?"
Wu Yang smiled and said, "Aren't we fighting well?"
The meal had long been finished. There were still many people barbecuing meat. This wasn't for eating now. They were all preparing dry rations. When they were in the canyon, they were all frightened. Only then did they understand the importance of food reserves. Therefore, when they had time, they would make dry rations, mainly barbecuing meat. After it was cooked, they would directly put it into the Hidden Lun space and take it out when it was time to eat.
Wu Yang said, "I'll go gather some information. You guys wait for me here." He had the most connections, so he was the one who gathered most of the information.
Hammer and Little Hammer walked over. Hammer held a barbecued suzuka deer in his hand. He came in front of Lei Xingfeng and said, "Sir, this is for you."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and took it, saying, "Thanks, Hammer."
Seeing Lei Xingfeng take the barbecued suzuka deer, Hammer and Little Hammer smiled. It wasn't easy for honest people to flatter. Lei Xingfeng's thanks made the two very happy.
Bai Yurun also carried a barbecued cow leg over and said sweetly, "Sir, this is a barbecued cow leg. Sir hasn't eaten yet …"
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't want to provoke this woman at all. He said, "Okay, thank you too."
Bai Yurun said sweetly, "Sir … Why do you say 'also'? Hehe, Sir, no need to thank me …"
Hammer and Little Hammer glared at her with an unhappy look on their faces.
Then, many Monarchs and Perfected Masters carried food over and gave it to Lei Xingfeng. There were both cooked and raw food. Gao Ye, Xin Zhaolun, and Qi Meiyun were dumbfounded. When did A Feng become so popular?
These were all people that Lei Xingfeng saved. There must be some gratitude in them. Giving some food was just to express their gratitude. Lei Xingfeng didn't reject them and kept them in his Hidden Lun space.
After a while, everyone quieted down and sat on the ground to wait.
Lei Xingfeng and the rest also sat and waited for the next step.
Soon, someone passed down the order.
Build wooden fences and temporary wooden sheds. The attacks were temporarily stopped and everyone was to wait.
After a while, Wu Yang came back and said, "We won't fight for now. I heard that Dao Monarch went to negotiate and asked the other party to give us a path."
Lei Xingfeng said, "It's best if we don't fight. We wanted a path in the first place."
Gao Ye said, "It's hard to negotiate. If we pass through the city, who knows if we won't attack. If the other party doesn't have too many Dao Monarch level experts, they won't dare to open the city. Originally, they had the city walls to rely on. Once the city gates are opened … Hehe, you know what will happen."
Wu Yang thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's hard to negotiate. If the other party has enough Dao Monarch level experts, maybe we can agree. If not, it's really hard to negotiate."
