In the dark and gloomy sky, Ling Xian flew across the sky at an extreme speed, like an arrow, like a shooting star.
The pair of snow wings were already burning, like a large fireball, illuminating the sky. One could imagine just how fast he was right now. He was definitely moving as fast as lightning.
What could he do? Though Ling Xian wasn't sure of the current situation, he could imagine how dangerous the nine battlefields must be.
Therefore, he crazily flapped his Winged Blitz and headed towards the Stream of Green Clouds.
That was one of the ten major battlefields, and it was the closest to the Red River Valley. Naturally, it was the first choice.
"I hope I can make it in time …" Ling Xian mumbled. His eyes were full of determination, or more accurately, determination.
He knew very well what this trip meant. It was very likely that he would die in battle, but he didn't want to run away.
If the Otherworldly Demons were to occupy the Black Tortoise Continent, not only would he be in trouble, but the entire universe would also be in danger.
Therefore, Ling Xian was determined and he had no regrets.
Two days later, he arrived at the Azure Cloud Stream. As soon as he appeared, he was shocked by what he saw.
Below, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain. Everything that entered his eyes was dark red.
It was too miserable. There were severed limbs everywhere. It was truly like an asura hell, terrifying to the extreme.
The pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of a corpse was nauseating and nauseating. Even with Ling Xian's mentality, his stomach churned.
However, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This was because there were no people from the Demon Sect below, only the allied forces.
Even though those people were covered in injuries and their numbers were pitifully small, it meant that the Azure Cloud Stream had not been lost.
Ling Xian landed on the ground and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was an extremely calm gaze, as if he had seen through death. It was terrifyingly calm.
"Friend, or foe?" A man dressed in red spoke. His emotionless eyes stared at Ling Xian, deep and cold.
"If the blood you shed is to protect the continent, then we are friends," Ling Xian responded in a low voice. His voice was loud and powerful.
He had never met the man in the blood-red robe before, and he didn't know anyone here either. However, the way they fought and bathed in blood was enough for him to call them friends.
"Friends, huh …" The man smiled. Coupled with the bloodstains on his face, he looked sinister and terrifying.
But to Ling Xian, this was the most beautiful smile, the most gentle smile.
However, this was clearly not the time for idle chatter. The most important thing now was to understand the situation of this place and the other battlefields.
Ling Xian asked in a low voice, "I want to know the situation of the Stream of Qing Yun. Please tell me."
"What you see is the situation," the man replied. He pointed at the corpses on the ground, and then pointed at the living.
"So what you're saying is that after we annihilated the demons, the ones still standing are the ones left?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Smart," the man praised.
However, not only was Ling Xian not happy, he fell into sorrow.
Wiping out the Demon Sect sounded like a great victory and was worth celebrating. However, do not forget the price paid by the allied forces.
He did not know how many allied troops there were in the Azure Cloud Stream, but he knew that it was definitely not less than a hundred thousand soldiers from the Red River Valley.
But now, there were only a few dozen people left. Even the man in the blood-red robe was the only powerhouse of the seventh level.
How tragic was this? How could Ling Xian be happy?
"What a cruel war." Ling Xian sighed, "No matter what, the alliance won."
"You won? These two words are very ironic. " The man in the blood-red robe mocked himself, "The Stream of Qing Yun was defended, but we lost five out of the other eight battlefields."
"What happened? Please tell me. "Ling Xian frowned.
"Seven days ago, the war erupted. 108 Dao Reasoning leveled cultivators from the Demon Sect attacked all nine battlefields."
"And the allied army only has a total of 93 seventh realm cultivators."
"I don't know the exact situation of the other battlefields. I only know that there were 13 elders from the Demon Sect at the Stream of Qing Yun. On the alliance's side, there were only nine."
"Therefore, the moment the war began, it was one-sided. But just as we were in danger, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, the Mercenary Alliance, and the Craftsman Alliance arrived."
"The result was as you can see. The Stream of Qing Yun was defended, but the only ones who survived were me, a Dao Reasoning cultivator, and the dozens of them."
The man in the blood-red robe spoke as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. However, everyone could hear the sorrow in his voice.
"What about the other eight battlefields?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Three were won and five were lost."
The man in the blood-red robe's expression was calm, "The five that were lost are out of the question. Everyone from the alliance died. The three who won suffered as much as the Stream of Qing Yun."
Hearing this, Ling Xian fell into silence. Even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how devastating it was.
"After this war, all the forces were greatly weakened. All the Dao Reasoning cultivators added together, there are less than 10."
The man in the blood-red robe's expression finally changed. There was bitterness and hopelessness.
There was no way he wouldn't be hopeless. There were less than 10 Dao Reasoning cultivators left. How could they defend against the Demon Sect?
"The Demon Sect's situation should be similar." Ling Xian said after a moment of silence.
Currently, the alliance and the Demon Sect were each fighting on five battlefields. The number of powerhouses they lost should be about the same. In other words, there was no winner or loser in this war. It was still in a balanced state.
What they needed to see next was how much information each side had. Whoever had more cards up their sleeves would be the winner.
"I'm not sure. Or in other words, I'm not sure."
"The Demon Sect is far too eerie. Based on the reports from our spies, the Demon Sect has at most 30 Dao Reasoning cultivators."
"So in the beginning, all the forces didn't think much of the Demon Sect."
"I didn't think so many Dao Reasoning cultivators would suddenly appear. Until now, none of the forces have been able to find out where those people came from."
The man in the blood-red robe chuckled. He didn't have any hope.
"Can you describe those people?" Ling Xian frowned, suspecting that they were sky demons.
"They are no different from humans. The only difference is … how do I put it … it is an indescribable feeling."
The man in the blood-red robe frowned. After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it.
At this, Ling Xian didn't give him a hard time. He comforted, "It's okay. Rest well. The war isn't over."
"Yes, an unfinished war. An endless amount of blood." The man in the blood-red robe sighed. Suddenly, he began to cough violently. Every time he coughed, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Poisoned?" Ling Xian's expression changed. He flicked out the Flame of Purity to dissolve the poison inside the man's body.
However, it didn't work.
This poison was extremely powerful. Against the Flame of Purity, the nemesis of all poisons, it didn't retreat. Instead, it leaped forward.
Instantly, the flame shrunk and turned into a small flame.
This shocked Ling Xian. The Flame of Purity was the nemesis of all poisons. Even a poisonous place like the Forest of a Thousand Poison cannot defend against this flame.
Yet this poison destroyed the Flame of Purity. Though it was merely a small amount, it was still unbelievable.
"What a dominating poison!"
Ling Xian's expression turned serious. Flames rose from his palm and he injected it into the man's body.
