Chapter 185 The Calamity of the Beast Tide, the Golden Core Clan [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

My senior sister is back.

Upon glancing at the message, Ji Haoyuan's heart stirred.

Ji Haoyuan had already sent a message to Ice and Fire Master before.

However, at that time, Master Binghuo never returned.

It seems they must have encountered some problems.

Now, as soon as Master Binghuo returned, he told him that he had important matters to discuss.

This made him immediately realize that this matter was likely related to...

I didn’t think about it any further.

After Ji Haoyuan spoke to Ji Bochang telepathically, his figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Crimson Cloud Sect.

When Ji Haoyuan arrived, Master Binghuo was already waiting for him at the mountain gate.

"Sister..."

A smile appeared on Ji Haoyuan's face.

Ice and Fire Master nodded to him.

"Junior brother, you should have learned about the situation here and in other places on your way back, right?"

"Are you referring to the matter of demonic beasts encroaching on the territory of our human cultivators?"

Upon hearing Ice and Fire Master mention this, Ji Haoyuan's expression immediately became serious.

Then Ice and Fire Master nodded and said, "That's right, that's the matter."

When I left the secret realm, I was unfortunately teleported to the inner area inhabited by monsters.

But because of this, I happened to receive some information.

"We were teleported to the inner perimeter of the demon beasts' territory?"

Ji Haoyuan was taken aback.

He never expected that his senior sister would have such bad luck.

No wonder I couldn't contact her on my way back.

"Then, senior sister, what specific information did you obtain?"

Upon hearing this, Ice and Fire Master replied, "It is the calamity of the beast tide."

What we are seeing now is merely their initial probing, intrusion, and strategic planning.

The real trouble, however, lies in the impending full-blown beast tide.

really……

Upon hearing what Master Binghuo said, Ji Haoyuan understood, but a sense of solemnity also arose in his heart.

He was very clear that the so-called beast tide disaster was definitely not a small-scale beast tide that occurred in just one place or one city.

Instead, it will trigger a large-scale beast tide that affects a small portion, or even most of the Southern Wilderness.

Under this calamity, countless sects and families will vanish into the dust of history, and countless mortals and cultivators will become food for those demonic beasts.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was a war of life and death.

The reason for the outbreak and triggering of the beast tide is that the territory occupied by these demonic beasts has become increasingly difficult to sustain their ever-growing numbers.

Therefore, they need to expand outwards.

On the one hand, it is to occupy more spiritual lands suitable for the survival of their demon race.

On the other hand, they also wanted to use the hands of human cultivators to reduce the excessive number of demonic beasts.

However, once a war of this scale breaks out, how can the changes and the final outcome be completely controlled by the demon race?
History has proven this countless times.

Once a war of this scale and level breaks out...

Alternatively, one can control the limits from the beginning and set them within a certain range.

Either it will completely spiral out of control.

In such a situation, let alone those at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, even those at the Golden Core stage would perish in large numbers. Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs and fourth-tier Demon Kings, who are essentially chess players, could have their physical bodies destroyed.

In an even more serious scenario, the nascent soul might perish, resulting in complete annihilation—that's not impossible.

and so.

To survive the potential beast tide, or even to profit from it and advance further, one must first stabilize one's own base.

After all, a war of this scale cannot be fought by high-level cultivators alone.

A large number of low-level cultivators, as well as cultivators of intermediate strength, are all indispensable.

Having thought this through, Ji Haoyuan basically knew what Icefire Master wanted to do next.

The Ice and Fire Immortal seemed to sense something at this moment as well.

Her beautiful eyes immediately met Ji Haoyuan's gaze.

She slowly said, "Junior brother, if nothing unexpected happens, the Hongduan Mountains where we are, and the Tianchuan Valley where you are, will be the main targets of the beast tide in the future."

and so.

To protect our respective territories from the potential onslaught of the beast tides, we must first stabilize the situation in the entire Hongduan Mountains.

What do you think? "

"I think what you said makes a lot of sense, senior sister."

Ji Haoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A cold glint appeared deep within his pupils.

"Moreover, there are some unresolved issues from the past, and now it's about time to settle them properly."

Having said that, the two siblings couldn't help but exchange another glance.

Their bodies suddenly leaped into the air.

It flashed once and then disappeared directly above the Crimson Cloud Sect's mountain gate.

at the same time.

Inside the mountain gate where the Netherworld Sect is located.

The Shadow True Man, the only Golden Core cultivator in the Netherworld Sect.

At this moment, he was fawning over a young man with narrow eyes and a slightly sinister look on his face.

This person is named Shangguan Yang, a Golden Core cultivator from the Shangguan family, a prominent Golden Core clan in the cultivation world of the Wu Kingdom.

This family, both in their cultivation techniques and their way of doing things, is quite inclined towards the demonic path.

Because their Shangguan family is relatively close to the area north of the Hongduan Mountains.

Furthermore, the current situation shows signs of deterioration.

Therefore, after much deliberation, the Shangguan family finally decided to try to control all the power they could control.

Especially the Hongduan Mountains, which are relatively close to the Shangguan family, it's about time they tried to bring them into the Shangguan family's sphere of influence.

According to the Shangguan family's understanding, the weakest force in the entire Hongduan Mountain Range is undoubtedly the Youming Sect, a demonic sect.

Therefore, they planned to use this sect as a breakthrough point first, and then extend to other areas, eventually gaining complete control of the entire Hongduan Mountain Range.

At this moment, as Shangguan Yang listened to the Shadow Master's narration, a sharp glint appeared in his narrow eyes.

"You mean, the strongest force in the entire Hongduan Mountain Range is no longer the Changhe Sect, but the Chixia Sect?"

Clearly, the Shangguan family had not paid much attention to the specific situation within the Hongduan Mountains in the past.

After all, in their eyes, the Hongduan Mountains at that time were really just like a poor and remote place.

Imagine, why would the Shangguan family, a major Golden Core clan, care so much about a place that doesn't even have people in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?
That is impossible.

But now, the situation is clearly different.

As a powerful clan specializing in Golden Core cultivation, the Shangguan family had already learned of the impending large-scale beast tide through their own channels.

At this point, the Hongduan Mountains, which they had come to regard as the front line of defense in the war, became quite important.

At least in terms of geographical advantage, the Hongduan Mountains have become a place that the Shangguan family is determined to possess.
