This sudden change caught the Tiger King's side off guard. They didn't expect someone to ambush them from behind.
Looking at the approaching army, especially after sensing a few powerful auras hidden among them, the Tiger King's face changed. Seeing that the attack was about to be launched, he waved his hand, and the black tiger turned into a cloud of black mist and returned to the flag.
Then, he quickly whispered a few words to the side. After coldly glancing at Gu Zheng, he left.
The scouts below, who were waiting to receive new orders, quickly ran to the front line.
They left two Ancestral Gods behind to keep an eye on Gu Zheng. The others didn't even look in his direction as they followed Tiger King and flew toward the back. It was as if there was something very important behind them. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Gu Zheng's sight.
Gu Zheng also kept the mountain and looked into the distance. The so-called reinforcements had already rushed out.
A group of demons dressed similarly rushed out from the forest behind the Tiger King's tribe. Their bodies shone with a strange purple light, and they charged towards the Tiger King's tribe.
In the battle in the sky, there were also dozens of Celestial Immortals wrapped in purple, and they attacked the Tiger King's tribe together.
Although the other side didn't have many people, there was still a gap between them and the Western Feng Village.
However, this sudden attack made the demons panic. Some wanted to continue attacking, and some wanted to retreat to defend against the ambush. There was no unified command at all, and the entire battle line was in a mess.
On the contrary, the Western Feng Village's side had their morale greatly boosted. Originally, some areas were broken through by the other side. Not only did they force the other side out, but they also pushed the other side back.
Now, the Tiger King's tribe was facing enemies from two sides, and their formation was in chaos. Although there were many captains desperately commanding, the effect wasn't great. After all, these people were forced together by them, and many of them were scattered by them. Now, the effect of disharmony appeared on them.
It was fine if they were going with the wind, but some of them were at a disadvantage and didn't listen to their commands at all. They just acted based on their own actions.
When the Western Feng Village's reinforcements appeared, the advantage turned into a disadvantage. Although they didn't have to worry about being defeated by the other side, they could only defend now, and couldn't do any threatening attacks.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a huge tremor in the distance. A layer of small airwaves lit up in the distant horizon, as if there were people fighting in the distance.
However, it was too far away. Gu Zheng really wanted to go and take a look, but he was worried that the two Ancestor Gods would do something to He Sheng. He wouldn't be able to hold them off for too long, so he decided to just stay put and watch the situation unfold.
Above the sky, countless magical waves rose up. Ren Jie led the Celestial Immortals who were sent over to fight bravely.
Perhaps it was because Gu Zheng treated them like his own people. He gave them all kinds of supplies and cared about them. In Gu Zheng's opinion, every one of them fought bravely. No one was slacking. They were not even afraid of getting hurt, but they still fought head-on with the other party.
On the other hand, apart from the people in the Tiger King's headquarters, everyone else was more or less in a state of carelessness. Initially, they could have killed or injured the other party, but in the end, in order to dodge the other party's attack and protect themselves, they wasted the opportunity.
This allowed them to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.
With the addition of reinforcements, they fought bravely. As for Zi, it was as if he had been injected with stimulants. He attacked the other party with all his might, not caring about his own injuries at all. It was as if there was an irreconcilable enmity between them, which puzzled Gu Zheng.
Every death of the warriors below made Gu Zheng very uncomfortable. Not only did his tribe have fewer people, but more importantly, it was the death of a living person.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng couldn't do anything at all. Even now, he didn't dare to defy the will of the Sage-to-be here. In the end, it was because his strength was too weak.
So what if he advanced to the Grand Heavenly Realm? So what if he returned to the peak of the Sage-to-be? If he didn't break through that step, he would always be an ant. No matter how big the ant was, it couldn't escape the choice of fate. What he wanted to do was to walk up step by step and break free from the restraints of the world. At that time, he would probably have some qualifications to speak for some people.
Just as he was thinking, a violent explosion pulled him out of his thoughts. In the distant horizon, a terrifying wave rose from there and rushed over here at an extremely fast speed.
That momentum made even Gu Zheng's expression change. Like a hurricane, it roared and flew in all directions. Wherever it passed, the towering trees were directly snapped, and the slightly shorter trees were also bent over.
The whole world seemed to be like the arrival of a demon god. That terrifying power made all the people fighting here stop. That kind of fear made them somewhat at a loss.
Over here, the battle between Celestial Immortals and above could feel it more clearly. All the people fighting in the sky separated from the battle without saying a word and landed below.
The people of the Tiger King's tribe landed directly near the statue, while Ren Jie and the rest quickly landed beside the statue. Layers of red light flickered continuously, providing a thick layer of protection for all the people of the Western Feng Village.
However, those from the purple camp and the people of the Tiger King's tribe didn't have any protection.
Feeling the aftermath of the quickly surging over here, Gu Zheng frowned. Then, without thinking, he once again sent streams of yellow mist into the statue, and more red light emerged.
To him, this kind of power was just a slightly stronger wind. However, to the people below, it was no less than a huge disaster.
This time, no matter who it was, as long as they were hit by the light, an extra layer of armor would appear on their bodies, firmly protecting them.
At the same time, Gu Zheng threw out a Dharma treasure, which turned into a ball of golden light to protect the periphery of the mountain peak. If he didn't do that, this mountain peak would definitely not exist.
Just as all this was done, the hurricane had already struck. The sky seemed to be covered by darkness out of nowhere, and the color of the sky suddenly darkened by a large margin. In the whistling of the wind, a ghastly wail and howl of wolves could be heard continuously. The waves contained in it were like an omnipresent attack, hitting everyone's bodies and causing them to tremble endlessly.
Some people with lower cultivation couldn't even withstand such a small shock, and even directly fainted. However, the outer layer of protection was still protecting them, so their lives weren't in danger.
This aftermath came and went quickly. After just a dozen breaths, the dark sky returned to normal once again, as if everything just now was an illusion.
However, the mess all over the ground showed that it wasn't an illusion.
At this time, apart from the residential area, which was specially reinforced by Gu Zheng, the houses they painstakingly built weren't damaged at all. The battle area inside was originally damaged by the aftermath of the battle, and now, there wasn't a single place that was intact. Everything was reduced to pieces. The whole place was filled with wood shavings and some daily necessities.
At this time, half of the people who were originally fighting in front of them were unconscious and lying on the ground. There were people from all three sides, but more of them were from the Tiger King's tribe.
Gu Zheng looked back. The force of the aftermath didn't diminish and was still attacking into the distance. From the looks of it, the entire island couldn't avoid this.
This made him feel that someone seemed to have done this on purpose. Otherwise, from such a long distance, how could it not diminish at all? Just as he was wondering, a loud shout below caught Gu Zheng's attention, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"Hurry up and move!" Ren Jie, who was below, shook his head slightly to get rid of the remaining dizziness. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted at the people on his side.
As it turned out, although Gu Zheng protected the other party's people, it wasn't like him and the reinforcements. That was a tight defense, and there definitely wouldn't be any problems.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng had slightly reduced the strength of the defense of the Tiger King's tribesmen. As a result, most of the other party's people were unconscious, while only a small number of people on his side were unconscious.
However, what was worth rejoicing over was that no one died in the storm just now. Even if they were enemies now, Gu Zheng felt that the other party's words would definitely be useful, so he didn't reduce the strength of the defense. Although many of the other party's people with strong bodies didn't faint directly, Gu Zheng didn't feel that it was a pity.
Looking at the other party's expressions of relief, and some of them even looked at Gu Zheng's people with grateful gazes, he knew that it was effective. They had personally experienced that soul-stirring incident and knew very well that if it weren't for Gu Zheng's help, most of them would have died in the storm again. They definitely wouldn't have escaped.
On this side, under Ren Jie's instructions, the people who were slightly conscious began to frantically tie up the unconscious enemies below and put a red cloth strip on them.
Although it was just a simple rope that could be broken free with a bit of strength, they were still captives. Originally, Ren Jie's intention was to directly kill the other party to save himself the trouble.
However, after hearing Gu Zheng's instructions, all of them changed to captives. However, some people were still patrolling around and killed on the spot if they didn't do anything.
Their identities were captives, and there was no level where Heaven Immortals couldn't attack.
The demons of the Tiger King's tribe also reacted. At this time, there was no need to talk about resistance at all. With a large number of their own people unconscious, especially after this shock, their combat strength had already decreased by 50%. They directly brought all the people they could and retreated to their side.
After a portion of them came to their side, some of the people who weren't seriously injured and still had some combat strength were immediately arranged on both sides of the river, guarding against the other party taking the opportunity to return.
As they didn't think of this at all before, and they didn't have any traps or traps on their side, it could be said that every place they were could be attacked by the other party. Therefore, a few people were placed at intervals, and then some people hurriedly rested and took elixirs behind them. Wherever there was danger, they would go together.
There was no other way. This was the best way to deal with it at the moment.
However, they didn't have any intention of attacking. One must know that the captives were enough to keep them busy for half a day. Even the reinforcements had joined in to help them. They didn't even think that the demons here were from the same region as them.
Some of the people of the Tiger King's tribe woke up earlier. When they saw this scene, they naturally resisted and escaped subconsciously.
However, most of them had just fainted and their bodies were sore and weak. Even if they resisted, they were powerless. Very quickly, they were caught by the people guarding the surroundings. In the end, only a small portion of them escaped. The rest were all caught again.
At this time, Ren Jie even ordered more Heaven Immortals to patrol the area above. Once they discovered any resistance or attempt to escape, they were to kill on the spot without mercy.
After a period of chaos, all the enemies were captured at one side. Basically, all the Heaven Immortals here went to check on the captives. There was no choice. The number of captives this time was beyond their imagination. It was more than half of their people. In other words, one-third of the enemy's warriors were captured by them.
This made Ren Jie very happy. The enemy's strength was reduced by one-third. If the enemy attacked again, they didn't even need reinforcements to block the enemy's attack. The only pity was that the enemy didn't capture a single Heaven Immortal. All of them escaped.
However, this was still considered a great victory. Although it was because of the tremors that came from nowhere.
After everything was done, Xia Qi, who was counting the casualties, hurried over and said to Ren Jie with a serious face.
"This time, our casualties are not light either. The main reason is that the enemy has too many people and the area here is too big. Fortunately, we don't need to guard the back and sides. Otherwise, there would be more casualties!"
"Say it. I can accept it in my heart!" At this time, among the people who fought together with Ren Jie, he knew that they had lost six people. More than ten people were injured. However, the enemy only lost three people. No one was injured. After all, they were fighting one against two.
One must know that four of them were killed by Hai Ming and Ren Ting. Later, the enemy fought one against five and still had the upper hand. Although the enemy's cultivation was not as high as theirs, it was still very impressive.
"In this battle, we lost a total of two hundred and twenty warriors. In fact, the number of injured is more than a thousand. Some of them are even disabled and can't go back to the battlefield. If it wasn't for our blessing at the critical moment, I think more people would have died." Xia Qi said seriously.
Now, as long as they were injured and didn't die, they would survive. However, there was no way for those who were disabled because of the battle. They could only continue to be supported by the village. It was said that some demons even drove these people out to fend for themselves.
Hearing this, the originally happy people's faces became heavy. This was because the reinforcements came in time and caused chaos. Otherwise, the losses would be even greater.
Ren Jie sighed and said to Xia Qi, "Settle them down for the time being. While you're at it, inform Elder Mei to go to the residential area and find some people to quickly come out and rest. While you're at it, when you're near the inner area, build a huge camp to temporarily lock these captives in."
"Elder Zhao, find a group of people to watch over these captives. If anyone makes any strange movements, kill them immediately."
Ren Jie said coldly. This was not a peaceful time. They were very likely to start a riot. Moreover, he did not rule out the possibility that the enemy would rescue these captives. At that time, he would also have to set up some traps and restrictions to prevent the captives from escaping.
Elder Zhao and Xia Qi immediately cupped their hands and left.
Ren Jie glanced at the battlefield. At this time, his heart was filled with melancholy. However, he still forced himself to be alert. There were many things that he needed to do now. He could not relax.
When things were going on below, Gu Zheng and He Sheng's minds had already flown far away. They did not know who made the commotion. Now, there was silence in the distance. Ever since the aftershock was released, there was no movement at all.
"Young Master Gu, are you sure that the commotion just now was caused by the battle between the reinforcements and the Tiger King?" Under Gu Zheng's strong suggestion, He Sheng finally changed his words. The main reason was that he was not used to hearing it.
"It must be. That aftershock was definitely caused by them fighting. I just don't know who the other party is. However, since the Tiger King is fighting personally, his strength is definitely not inferior to the Tiger King's." Gu Zheng shook his head, indicating that he did not know either. He looked into the distance, trying to find some clues.
However, after a long time, all the battlefield below had been cleaned up. There was still no movement. It seemed that the battle had been decided at that moment. Or rather, the battle had been called off. This was because it was too difficult to kill someone in such a short time.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Gu Zheng shifted his gaze to the ground. At this time, some residents came out and began to clean up the wreckage. Some of the injured were also being carefully carried out. Some of the people whose family members had died were also in pain.
Although it seemed that they had won, there was still no atmosphere of victory. Compared to the previous peaceful battles, the number of people who died this time was far more than in the past few hundred years. It really did not make these people happy.
Seeing that Ren Jie was rushing towards him, Gu Zheng moved his body and came down from the mountain peak.
It seemed that the other party would not launch another attack this time. He could relax for a while.
"Ancestor God, now that the battle is over, I came to report the battle situation to you," said the person immediately when he saw Gu Zheng.
After seeing Gu Zheng nod his head, Ren Jie quickly reported the losses this time. In addition to some people, they also lost a lot of materials. If it was before, these materials would be enough to make his heart ache. However, Ren Jie did not feel the slightest bit. These things were inanimate objects, and they were not lacking now.
"It's been hard on you!" After listening, Gu Zheng also said in a heavy tone. Although he had seen more people die than this, he was still in a very bad mood.
"Chief Ren, it's not good. Some of the injured have a new condition. Quickly come and take a look!" At this time, a person hurriedly ran in from outside. He seemed to be a member of the He Sheng tribe.
"What's the matter? Isn't Elder Mei in charge there? Quickly take me to have a look! "Ren Jie did not hesitate. He bowed to Gu Zheng and hurriedly left here.
Gu Zheng also curiously followed. Previously, he had seen that all the injured had been properly settled. All the medicine had been distributed. Some of the injured had even been brought back by their family members.
However, looking at his anxious face, it seemed that there was an unsolvable problem.
Following their footsteps, they came to an open space in front of them. At this time, there were many people watching at the side. Most of them were the family members of the injured. Originally, this kind of thing had already happened, but in the end, this kind of thing happened again. It was very worrying.
"Everyone, quickly make way! The chief is here! "
With a shout, everyone immediately made way. Ren Jie hurriedly walked over.
