The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 497 The outcome still depends on whose backing is stronger.

Just as Daji was certain that she had killed all the demons.

Just as they were getting excited and reluctant to stop,

Li Jingxiao suddenly experienced a surge in magical power, which he channeled into the 'Thunderous Flute'.

After a mournful flute melody, in a forest more than two hundred miles away, several thousand or even tens of thousands of elite demons were preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Yin Shang camp after the succubus succeeded.

After the sound of flutes reached his ears, he suddenly cried out in agony, clutching his head tightly with both hands, shouting and howling in pain.

With so much experience waiting for Li Jingxiao, he won't hold back.

Not only did it gradually increase its magical power, but it also transmitted it into the 'Thunderous Flute'.

Countless flying swords suddenly appeared around his body.

At least tens of thousands of flying swords instantly covered the entire camp for several miles.

Just as Daji, Nezha, Ao Bing, Wen Zhong, and others were wondering why Li Jingxiao still needed to use the sword control technique.

Under Li Jingxiao's mental command, tens of thousands of flying swords roared like rainbows, flying north in rows.

At this moment, many of the demons hiding in the forest two hundred miles away, whose strength was weaker, had their bodies shattered by the sound waves of the Thunder Flute.

Then he saw a swarm of flying swords, shimmering with spiritual light, hurtling towards him like shooting stars.

He was immediately terrified, and his only thought was to escape.

Unfortunately, the Thunder Sound Flute's attack range reaches a thousand miles, so even if a demon has the strength to withstand the flute's sound, it's still too powerful.

But trying to escape while enduring attacks isn't so easy.

When countless flying swords fell, they attacked the demons within a radius of several miles as if they were targets.

Only a few demons were able to escape, and their strength was at least at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Yuan Futong was one of them.

By this time, the guy had already reverted to his true form as an ape demon, and was still holding a bronze staff in his hand.

He knocked away dozens of flying swords before fleeing in panic.

He looked back at the forest and his many demon companions, which were now covered by flying swords.

Countless flying swords easily pierced through the demons.

Yuan Futong not only deeply hated Li Jingxiao, but also feared Li Jingxiao's power.

They felt even more lost about the future.

Some were even disheartened and lost confidence in defeating the Yin Shang dynasty.

Logically speaking, Yuan Futong and the demons of the North Sea and the remnants of Chiyou's forces and combat power were far superior to Wen Zhong and the 50,000-strong Yin Shang army.

The problem is that Wen Zhong is a direct disciple of the third generation of the Jie Sect, and his master is one of the four direct disciples of the second generation of the Jie Sect.

Ordinary demons attacking the Shang army could not attract the help of the Jie Sect masters.

But what if a powerful demon were to attack the 50,000 mortals of the Shang Dynasty?

Then Wen Zhong would have sufficient reason to invite the experts of the Jie Sect.

No matter how powerful the demons of the North Sea and the remnants of Chi You were, they were no match for the tens of thousands of disciples under the Tongtian Sect Master.

If Wen Zhong were to invite his master, the Golden Spirit Mother, over...

We also invited Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao.

It's possible that the entire North Sea demon race and the remnants of Chi You's people will be wiped out by the Jie Sect.

Even though the possibility is slim, the great demons and demon kings of the North Sea demon clan dare not gamble on this possibility.

After all, the reason why the demon race withdrew from the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth was not only because of the numerous deaths and injuries caused by several major battles with the witch race.

There must be the Three Pure Ones behind this, with the Western Paradise's Jieyin and Zhunti playing tricks.

After all, the demon race and the witch race do not believe in the Three Pure Ones or the Western religion.

Although Laozi did not establish a "human religion", he used the human race as the foundation and taught the human race the merits of becoming a saint.

The Chan Sect's Yuanshi Tianzun and the Jie Sect's Tongtian Jiaozhu established the Chan and Jie Sects, respectively.

If the two Western saints jointly established the Western religion, they would inevitably compete for faith and inheritance.

Humans are weaker than demons and witches, so it is naturally easier for them to worship these saints.

Furthermore, Laozi would certainly not agree to the destruction of the human race by the demon and witch races. As long as the Four Sages are not foolish, they will naturally choose the human race.

To avoid offending Laozi.

At that time, the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated; they were one entity, and Laozi chose the human race.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu could only choose the human race.

Of course, the third brother, Tongtian Jiaozhu, seems somewhat rebellious, judging from the disciples he has taken in.

The four direct disciples, the true form of Duobao Daoren, is said to be Duobao Rat, Sheep, and Toad, while other rumors say it is a human.

The prototype of the Golden Spirit Mother is Doumu Yuanjun, but no one knows what her true form is.

But the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang, one is a tortoise and the other is a white ape.

The seven immortal attendants around Tongtian were all demons.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals were not of human origin.

It can be said that human disciples actually make up a very small minority within the Jie Sect.

Perhaps from the moment Tongtian Jiaozhu accepted his disciple, Laozi began to dislike his third brother's doctrines.

With the four swords of Zhuxian and the sword formation diagram in hand, it would be strange if the eldest and second-in-commands didn't feel a bit resentful.
-
Wen Zhong wanted to outlast the seventy-two lords of Beihai, and perhaps Yuan Futong and the demons of Beihai shared the same idea.

That's why it's been ten years and there's still no result.

After all, the rebels' trump card was their countless demons. No matter how many human soldiers and Chi You's descendants died, they didn't actually threaten Yuan Futong's core strength.

The balance was broken from the moment Li Jingxiao appeared.

Li Jingxiao has wiped out a total of tens of thousands of his clansmen, and tonight's batch of tens of thousands of his clansmen are the elite of the elite.

In the minds of Yuan Futong and the demon race, Li Jingxiao and Daji were the highly skilled people that Wen Zhong had invited from the Jie Sect.

Yuan Futong even speculated that Li Jingxiao was most likely a master of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm from the Jie Sect.

Otherwise, how could they have so easily killed so many of their own kind?

Of course, Yuan Futong harbored resentment, but he lacked the confidence to retaliate.

The truth is, Li Jingxiao killed far too many demons and monsters last time using thunder magic and Samadhi True Fire.

Even if Yuan Futong was arrogant, he knew that with his cultivation level, he could not withstand the tempering of the Samadhi True Fire.

This time, they used sonic attacks again, employing a variety of methods and showing ruthlessness.

It's really hard to know how to deal with Li Jingxiao.

Of course, you could also ask a big shot from the North Sea demon clan to step in.

However, even if they defeated Li Jingxiao, they would still face retaliation from more masters of the Jie Sect.

If a blood feud were to truly arise, the battle between the North Sea demons and the Jie Sect would surely never end.

Moreover, compared to the disciples of the Jie Sect, there was a relatively united situation between them.

Among the demons of the North Sea, while there is cooperation, there are also many instances of mutual suspicion and sabotage.

If the Jie Sect were truly united, the demon race would be the first to retreat.

Yuan Futong understood this perfectly well.

The demon race had long since fallen into disarray with the fall of the Demon Heavenly Court.

Let alone commanding the entire demon race, there isn't even anyone qualified or capable of commanding the demon race of the North Sea.

In this way, they were naturally no match for the Jie Sect.

Even the goddess Nuwa, despite being a saint, would be vulnerable if she didn't have the 'Demon-Summoning Banner' in her hand.

Among the entire demon race, probably less than one-tenth would listen to the Goddess Nuwa.

You're a saint, you're amazing, but even a saint like you won't take care of or protect all the demons. Since there's no benefit in it, why should we listen to you?

Why should I risk my life for you?
Even those great demons whose divine senses were not attached to the 'Demon Summoning Banner' and who had only grown up in the last few thousand years, also disliked the Lady.

To put it bluntly, during the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Nuwa only protected her brother Fuxi.

Fuxi was reincarnated as a human and became one of the Three Sovereigns, the 'Heavenly Sovereign'.

Together with the Earth Emperor, the Human Emperor, and the Five Emperors, they reside year-round in the 'Fire Cloud Cave,' enjoying the incense offerings and the fortune of the human race.

In other words, Fuxi was no longer a demon, but the ancestor of the human race.

For all the demons in the world, this is tantamount to betrayal.

However, the Goddess Nuwa possessed the 'Demon-Summoning Banner,' which allowed her to summon any demon she wished to see.

Regardless of whether your consciousness is within the Demon-Summoning Banner, once the Holy One issues an order, you must obediently follow it.

Of course, the great demons who hide are another matter.

But if you cause trouble and Nuwa finds out, you'll still have to obey her when she needs you in the future.

Otherwise, if a sage were to get angry, it would be far too easy for him to kill a great demon or demon king.

They don't even need a reason; a simple "disrespect for a saint" is enough to kill you.

Or perhaps you'll be suppressed somewhere, never to see the light of day again.

However, if it is a demon emperor of the level of Heavenly Emperor Di Jun or Donghuang Taiyi, even a saint would have to give face to the emperor.

But in this world, it is impossible for a demon emperor to appear again.

Not only would the Jade Emperor be the first to object, but the sages would also not allow such a person to exist.

If the demon race were to rise to power again, it would mean that the human race might face the crisis of extinction.

Laozi would definitely be the first to object.

Laozi, as the head of the Three Pure Ones and the first disciple of Taoism under Hongjun, the Taoist Ancestor.

Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely listen to Laozi's words.

The Master of Heaven had no choice but to listen.

After all, the event of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun joining forces to fight him, the third son, had not yet occurred.

As long as the Three Pure Ones maintain a superficial brotherhood, the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti will have to stay obediently in the barren lands of the West.

Even the goddess Nuwa had to stay quietly in the Nuwa Palace.

No one could have imagined that the Three Pure Ones would completely fall out.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was even imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace by the Hongjun Ancestor, who prevented him from being born.

Yuanshi Tianzun may seem to have won, but he has completely lost face and credibility.

Laozi also devised a plan to "convert barbarians into Buddhists," making Duobao Daoren the head of Buddhism.

It has divided the fortunes and power of Western religions.

If we look at it this way, it seems that the ultimate winners are Lao Tzu and the human race.

Yuan Futong fled all the way back to the depths of the North Sea and recounted what had happened that day.

Immediately, many powerful demons were enraged and clamored to mobilize their entire demon army to attack Wen Zhong and the Jie Sect.

Several demon kings originally wanted to get revenge, but when they heard that these people even dared to attack the Jie Sect, they were shocked.

I immediately felt timid.

If they really dared to destroy the Yin Shang dynasty, then it wouldn't just be a problem for the Jie Sect.

Neither the Chan sect nor the Western sect would agree to this.

However, the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Western Sect would not agree, and no matter how many ideas Nuwa had, she would not leave the Nuwa Palace.

Without the support of a sage, everything is just empty talk and nonsense.

It could even lead to another massacre of the entire clan.

Even if all the demons in the world were killed, it would be impossible to wipe them all out.

But those troublemaking demons and demon kings will definitely be on the list of those to be eliminated.

So without Yuan Futong's instigation, and regardless of how agitated the demons were, the demon kings themselves calmed down.

But if nothing is done, morale will stagnate, and the team will be difficult to lead.

In just a short while, the demon kings reached a tacit agreement.

Let the restless ones among your subordinates cause trouble. As long as the top combatants don't intervene, the Jie Sect won't send any high-level combatants either.

Those fights were nothing more than minor skirmishes.

As for the many low-level demons who will die, it is of no importance to the demon kings who hold power.

The deaths of several troublemakers among the powerful demons are a good thing for these demon kings.

This decision sealed the fate of Yuan Futong and the seventy-two warlords; their defeat was now inevitable.

But this is great news for Li Jingxiao.

They couldn't wait for more demons to come and die.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of elite demons under Yuan Futong's command that he had previously killed allowed him to gain a whopping 8 million experience points in one go.

等级也从226级（0.91亿/3.6亿），升级到了228级（1.61亿/3.8亿）。

Therefore, Li Jingxiao was in a very good mood when he returned to the camp of the Yin Shang army.

It was only when Daji suddenly put on a veil that they realized that the girl's identity could not be revealed for the time being.

But when he brought Daji here before, Li Jingxiao hadn't considered this aspect.

Even Daji, in her eagerness to fight and join the fun in Beihai, forgot this point as well.

Fortunately, Wen Zhong, the Four Demon Generals, Deng Jiugong, Deng Chanyu, and a dozen or so disciples of the Jie Sect were constantly quelling rebellions in the North Sea.

Not only have I never seen Daji, the nine-tailed fox in disguise, in Chaoge City.

I've never seen Su Daji in Yizhou City.

Moreover, in the previous sonic battle, Mo Lihai initially fought against the sonic attacks of more than a dozen succubi all by himself.

Wen Zhong and the others lost interest in paying attention to Daji's appearance.

However, Li Jingxiao was also well aware that with Daji's beauty, anyone who had seen her would find it hard to forget her.

I only hope that when Wen Zhong returns to Chaoge City in the future and sees the Nine-Tailed Fox.

They mistakenly believed that Daji in Chaoge City and Daji by Li Jingxiao's side were just similar in appearance.

Moreover, Daji's previous display of strength was far superior to Wen Zhong's.

Wen Zhong was only a Golden Immortal, while Daji's Taiyi Golden Immortal status was achieved through the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Even the weakest Taiyi Golden Immortal can still crush a Golden Immortal in terms of cultivation.

As for true combat strength, that depends on the combined power of cultivation, supernatural abilities, and magical treasures.

Moreover, the importance of magical treasures surpasses that of supernatural powers, and even surpasses that of cultivation.

If Wen Zhong and others realize that Daji is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, then a normal person would definitely think that Daji has cultivated for at least a thousand years.

Even thousands or tens of thousands of years.

In this way, she looks like the nine-tailed fox in Chaoge City, except that the nine-tailed fox looks like Daji.

The two were not contemporaries.

Many doubts disappeared.
-
As for Wen Zhong, since he has a third eye, and this eye can distinguish between loyalty, treachery, evil, and demons.

However, they were never able to see through the true form of the nine-tailed fox. It can only be said that since the nine-tailed fox was a pawn sent by the goddess Nuwa to wreak havoc on the Shang Dynasty.

Perhaps the Empress's magic power resided in the nine-tailed fox, which prevented Wen Zhong from recognizing its true form.

Otherwise, given Wen Zhong's power and reputation, even King Zhou would tremble in fear upon seeing him.

Where are the nine-tailed foxes causing havoc in the Shang Dynasty anymore?
