Such a huge battle would definitely consume a lot of energy. Not only would the bodies of the human practitioners gradually become unable to take it, their condition would gradually deteriorate. It was the same for the wolf demons and flying beasts. The reason why they retreated was most likely because they needed to replenish their energy.
Furthermore, the night in the Realm of the Gods was rather special. The distance that practitioners could see at night would be greatly reduced, and even the range that their consciousness could cover would be reduced.
In fact, in this battle, the silver-armoured practitioners and the Linggu Valley did not cause many casualties to the other side. It was originally a battle between them, but in the end, it became a battle between them and the wolf demons and flying beasts.
The Linggu Valley had special weapons to deal with the flying beasts. Furthermore, they did not suffer any attacks from the ground, so their losses were very small. Most of the villagers were injured, and less than a hundred people died in the battle.
However, it was different for the Argent Legion. Not only did they face countless attacks from the wolf demons, they were also occasionally attacked by the flying beasts. Most importantly, the silver-haired Wolf King also caused them a lot of trouble. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties. More than ten thousand people came, but now, only about three thousand people were left. Furthermore, most of these three thousand people were also seriously injured.
This was all thanks to the help of the two female Gods. Otherwise, this seemingly mighty Argent Legion would have been completely wiped out.
As a result, it was definitely impossible to continue attacking the Linggu Valley. The Argent Legion was even worried that the Linggu Valley would suddenly charge out. Together with the wolf demons and flying beasts, they quickly retreated and distanced themselves from the Linggu Valley.
A battle that was undoubtedly a victory for the Argent Legion had turned out like this. Not only would this greatly boost the morale of the Linggu Valley, it would also deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Argent Legion. It would also infuriate the leader of the Argent Legion.
The two female Gods protected the Argent Legion as they retreated for a distance. Then, they quietly left without saying goodbye.
On a mountain peak about three thousand miles away from the Linggu Valley, the two female Gods stood behind the man in embroidered clothes. Although they had just fought for a few hours, their clothes were still very clean. However, a few strands of messy hair on their foreheads proved that they had not been relaxed before.
Although the ordinary wolf demons and even the Wolf King could not do anything to the two female Gods, they were still able to exhaust the two female Gods. The two female Gods also had to continuously wield their swords to kill the endless wolf demons.
"What should we do next? Should we charge straight into the village? "a woman asked anxiously as she brushed the hair on her forehead.
"I don't want to rely on my family's strength. Although you have been following me, you are still part of the family."
The man in embroidered clothes shook his head resolutely. Then, he said, "That guy is a talent. However, he alone cannot protect the Linggu Valley. Send a message to the one in the Linggu Valley and ask him to find a way to expel that guy from the village. "
The female God nodded. Then, she took out her communication bead and sent a message.
Not long after, the woman received a reply. She furrowed her brows and said, "He said it's very difficult because that fellow has performed meritorious deeds repeatedly. Right now, he's at the peak of his fame, and everyone in Lin Gu Village trusts and respects him. It's very difficult to find a reason to expel him."
"Haha, this is his matter. It is not something for me to consider. I just asked him to do it. He has to do it, and he has to do it. If he can't even do this, what use do we have for him? Just tell him that. "
After saying this, the man in embroidered clothes turned and left.
After the battle, the Linggu Valley was sending off the dead. Everyone gathered in the square in the center of the village. They surrounded the corpses of their fellow villagers, who were neatly arranged around the high platform. As they walked, they silently mourned.
The old Village Chief was on the altar, constantly chanting an ancient incantation.
As a villager of the Linggu Valley, Xiao Lingyu naturally gathered in the square with everyone else. Although these dead people had nothing to do with him, at least in his eyes, these people were heroes. Moreover, they had died a worthy death.
In this world of cultivation, whether it was the World of Cultivators, Immortals, Devils, or Demons, or even the current Heavenly Realm, many cultivators were chasing after a stronger cultivation. They were fighting for treasures, fighting for techniques, fighting for anything. How many people would be willing to contribute?
Even Xiao Lingyu, if not for his family or friends, would try his best to avoid trouble. He would also fight for benefits. Moreover, he did not like to lose out.
The more cultivators cultivated, the thinner and more narrow-minded they became.
In this Linggu Valley, Xiao Lingyu saw some of the fickleness of human nature. He vaguely felt that he was in a small mountain village in ancient times.
For the sake of protecting their loved ones, for the sake of protecting their home, for the sake of this small village, these villagers were worthy of respect. Although their deaths were not enough to bring about any changes to the God Realm, and although their deaths would be laughable and powerless in the eyes of many selfish cultivators, they were true heroes.
The ceremony did not last long. The old Village Chief personally placed the corpses into the bonfire. When the fire was extinguished, everyone returned home.
Xiao Lingyu did not return home. He did not have a real home in this village. He went to the top of the mountain around the valley and looked into the distance with a few villagers who were in charge of guarding the area.
Although this battle was a fluke, the enemy had suffered such heavy losses. They would definitely not give up. They would definitely come back again.
The Linggu Valley was still in danger. There was an even fiercer test to come.
What worried Xiao Lingyu was that there were already Heavenly Gods among the enemy. What did the Linggu Valley have to fight against Heavenly Gods?
At this moment, the villagers of the Linggu Valley were all looking up at the sky.
The sky was dark and heavy, just like everyone's mood.
Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, was thinking about what he should do …
If he continued fighting, the enemy would become anxious. If they sent out Heavenly Gods, he would have no other choice but to use the Divine Weapon.
If he stopped fighting, he would have to abandon the Linggu Valley. However, he could not let go.
Although he did not have deep feelings for the Linggu Valley, these days, he had seen too many Linggu Valley villagers fight with no regard for their lives. He had seen them fall into pools of blood after being attacked by the enemy's swords. He had also seen them look at him with admiration and trust.
He really could not bear to see this group of villagers being slaughtered.
"What are you looking at?"
Yueru asked softly as he came to Xiao Lingyu's side.
"Nothing." Xiao Lingyu came back to his senses and replied calmly.
"Will you leave the Linggu Valley?" Yueru asked as he sat on a rock beside him.
"What about you? If you have the chance, do you want to leave?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile.
"I'm not leaving. I grew up in the Linggu Valley. My father died when I was still in my mother's womb. My mother passed away after giving birth to me. I was raised by these villagers. As long as this village is still here, I will not leave," Yueru replied calmly.
Xiao Lingyu could tell that Yueru was filled with gratitude.
Although cultivators like Yueru were not weak, they had not experienced the hardships and battles of the Cultivation World or the Three Realms of Immortals, Demons, and Demons. They had lived in this small village since they were born. There were not many things that could make them narrow-minded and cold. They were more humane than those cultivators who had ascended from the Lower Realm.
Almost all of the cultivators who had ascended from the Lower Realm had experienced many hardships. They had been schemed against by others, and they had also schemed against others. Their hearts were no longer pure.
"Haha, I'm the same. As long as this village is still here, I will not leave," Xiao Lingyu replied with a smile.
However, there was another meaning to his words. If this village was no longer here, he would leave.
Xiao Lingyu knew that even if the God of Heaven intervened, he could still save his own life.
However, Yueru did not know Xiao Lingyu's methods and reliance. Therefore, Yueru thought that Xiao Lingyu was prepared to live and die with the village. Therefore, he was moved and grateful. When he looked at Xiao Lingyu again, his gaze was warmer and gentler than before. There was also a different kind of color in his eyes.
On the second day, the Argent Legion did not make a comeback. On the third day, the fourth day … more than a month had passed. The Linggu Valley was still not under attack.
For more than a month, everyone's mood had been very tense. Even now, they had not relaxed.
However, everyone was now guessing whether the enemy was unable to attack the Linggu Valley again because of the heavy losses they had suffered last time. If that was the case, it would be great.
The ferocious counterattack that they had imagined did not come. As time passed, everyone gradually relaxed.
The villagers who had been sent out to investigate also continuously returned with news. Within a few thousand miles of the Linggu Valley, there were no traces of the enemy.
At the beginning, Xiao Lingyu would often go to the top of the valley to help keep watch. Later on, he lost his patience and returned to his stone house to recuperate.
One night, a girl suddenly came to find Xiao Lingyu. She said that Medicine Master Yueru had invited him over.
Xiao Lingyu recognized this girl. She was called Mo 'er. She lived next to Yueru and was learning the art of refining medicine from Yueru. Many times, Yueru would invite Xiao Lingyu over. If she was too busy, she would ask Mo' er to come over.
After passing the message, Mo 'er walked away alone.
"Why do you want me to go over in the middle of the night?"
Although Xiao Lingyu was a little confused, he still walked over.
Yueru's house was not far from Xiao Lingyu's stone house. In just a few moments, he had already arrived at Yueru's door.
Yueru's house had three rooms. There were no windows. At this moment, the door to the living room was open.
Xiao Lingyu and Yueru were considered friends and had a good relationship. Thus, he did not greet him and walked directly into the living room.
In Xiao Lingyu's opinion, since Yueru had invited him first, it was only right for him to leave the door open.
Yue Ru was not in the living room. When Xiao Lingyu heard the sound of water coming from the side room, he thought that Yue Ru was brewing some kind of medicinal decoction and asked him for help. Therefore, he pushed open the side room's door that looked like a screen.
