The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

The thick dark clouds shrouded this vast land.

Within the military camp outside Tianjiao City, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

The cold rain ceaselessly pelted the land, soaking everything irrespective of status or worth.

In the camp of the Blood Lotus Sect, the grand flag of the "Heavenly Decree Cleansing Demons and Thwarting Immortals Supreme Sect Hierarch" that had been fluttering proudly the day before now hung limp and powerless in the pouring rain.

Inside the Sect Hierarch's tent beneath the flag, the curtains were now completely open, a pale and frail young girl sat quietly on top of a map, focusing on various passes and intersections.

The messengers came and went, relaying the latest updates from the battlefield.

"...The Sect Hierarch has led the Demon Beasts cavalry to capture the Demon Sect Elder Qi Rui and is currently escorting Qi Rui back for reinforcements."

"...Helmsman Liu has slain the Demon Beast of Demon Sect Elder Wu Xingtian and has forced Wu Xingtian into hiding in Cui Liu Mountain. Helmsman Liu is pursuing through the mountain and may capture Wu Xingtian before tonight."

"City Lord Ou Ziyu of Tianjiao City has broken through the defenses outside Tunxi City and has now escaped southeast..."

"The soldiers who surrendered last night have been vetted, revealing 237 cultivators, but among them, there is no Demon Sect Elder..."

"...Sect Masters Liu Xiang and Nangong Ting were taken to Pingyang Ridge by Li Muyang, and Helmsman Dugu led his troops to charge seven times without success. Li Muyang is impervious to blades and spears, with a formidable physique; Helmsman Dugu is asking the young lady if there is any way to deal with this person? "

"... Report! The poison creatures suddenly released last night have been completely driven away and dealt with!"

...

One after another, various war reports from all directions were being presented before the young girl's eyes.

As she listened to the war reports, Shen Yan rubbed her temples with a bitter expression and sighed.

"Refinement Demon Sect truly deserves its reputation as a major force on the Demon Path..."

Each one of these Demon Sect Elders was not a simple opponent.

Even after having their cultivation levels reduced, these Demon Sect Elders still exhibited terrifying abilities while escaping.

Her strategy had been perfect, using overwhelming force and cunning tactics to drive out the cultivators within Tianjiao City, quickly bringing the common soldiers to surrender. Discover hidden tales at empire

Now in the wilderness outside the city, only those cultivators were still fleeing in a sorry state.

The cultivators from the Demon Sect, together with those from Tianjiao City who were not affiliated with the Demon Sect—totaling just over two thousand.

Once these two thousand people left Tianjiao City and were separated from the common soldiers, they fell into the encirclement of tens of thousands of Blood Lotus Sect devotees, and should have been like fish on the chopping block.

But last night, when the common soldiers surrendered en masse, the cultivators hidden among them used their Divine Skills in succession and easily broke through the encirclement.

With their cultivation levels stripped, one of the Demon Sect Elders summoned all the poisonous creatures within hundreds of miles.

Serpents, worms, rats, ants, centipedes, and venomous insects crawled out from the ground and bushes, attacking all living beings in the wilderness uncontrollably in a frenzy, causing sheer horror.

Another Demon Sect Elder unleashed from the Qiankun Ring over a hundred bloodthirsty zombies impervious to blade and spear. These uncontrolled zombies blindly slaughtered all living beings in sight until dawn, when they were barely contained by the Blood Lotus Sect.

Yet another wielder of Great Divine Power summoned seawater from a nearby port, transforming it into tidal waves that flooded the Blood Lotus Sect's formations, drowning countless followers...

Shen Yan was aware that these Demon Sect Elders were formidable opponents and had made all kinds of contingency plans in advance.

But when it came to it, the Divine Skills displayed by these powerful Demon Sect figures still exceeded expectations.

Without any cultivation base, someone summoned all the poisonous insects within hundreds of miles and even reversed the seawater to flood the shores with divine skills... How was this accomplished?

This simply defies all reason!

Under the display of divine skills by these Demon Sect elders, the army formation of the Blood Lotus Sect outside Tianjiao City was easily breached.

All the cultivators slaughtered their way towards the distance, and even the demon beast cavalry that had been ambushed in advance couldn't kill many cultivators, they could only watch helplessly as that group of cunning and powerful cultivators escaped in all directions.

Now, tallying the battlefield, only a total of three hundred and twenty-one cultivators were slain, most of whom were minor characters who had hidden among the ordinary soldiers and surrendered or tried to blend in to pass unnoticed.

The true bigwigs of the Demon Sect, they all concealed their identities and fled among the crowds.

Blood Lotus Sect even couldn't confirm which elder had fled in which direction.

And the loss on our own side was also quite heavy.

The poisonous creatures stung and poisoned over a thousand people, and up to now, more than half are still undergoing detoxification and emergency treatment.

Over a hundred bloodthirsty zombies, impervious to swords and spears, rampaged through the crowd, resulting in two hundred dead and thirteen hundred infected with corpse poison, it wasn't until now that we barely managed to trap that group of zombies in a pit.

Moreover, when the seawater rushed backward and the torrents flooded in, thousands of Blood Lotus Sect adherents were swept away and scattered, with over two thousand people still missing...

Looking at report after report, Shen Yan's brow tightened with an even greater headache.

Now that the various helmsmen and the remaining two Incense Masters have spread a net of heaven and earth in the thousand miles of wilderness outside Tianjiao City, they will search every inch of this land to find all the escaped elders of the Demon Sect.

But compared to those powerhouses of the Demon Sect hidden in the dark, that elder of the Demon Sect in plain sight is even more troubling.

Her gaze lingered on the position of "Pingyang Ridge" on the map, and Shen Yan softly sighed.

"An invulnerable body, a vigorous vitality that can break through thousands of troops... Why does this Li Muyang have to be a disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect?"

Her expression was somewhat distressed.

Last night, Liu Hucheng led the demon beast cavalry to charge at the fleeing troops of Law Enforcement Elder Yan Xiaoru, attempting to rescue the kidnapped Incense Master Nangong Ting.

However, the outcome of the battle was that more than half of the two hundred demon beast cavalry were either killed or wounded, and Helmsman Liu Hucheng not only failed to rescue Nangong Ting, but was also captured by that Demon Sect disciple named Li Muyang amidst the chaotic army.

Now, Law Enforcement Elder Yan Xiaoru has retreated to Pingyang Ridge, two hundred miles away, and relying on the terrain and Li Muyang's powerful physique, along with two Incense Masters as hostages, they have repeatedly repelled the numerous attacks of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Helmsman Dugu has led multiple fierce assaults, but has been unable to break through that hill fortification.

This is the point of greatest concern to Shen Yan.

To be able to hold one's own against a thousand troops with merely the strength of flesh and blood, despite the cultivation base having been stripped away...

Shen Yan murmured lowly, "If only this Li Muyang were a disciple of my sect."

Pondering, the young girl seemed to have made some decision.

She suddenly got up, looked at the messenger waiting outside the tent, and instructed.

"Go back and tell Helmsman Dugu to surround Pingyang Ridge, and not to let Li Muyang escape."

"Once I have dealt with the matters here, I will personally go to Pingyang Ridge and persuade Li Muyang to surrender."

"He's just a white-robed disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect, what the Demon Sect can offer him, my Blood Lotus Sect can offer just the same!"
