Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

The main reason is that no one anticipated that this invasion would go wrong.

"That's right, but there's no need to worry... Under normal circumstances, the Tu Shan forces won't go all out. Even if they lose, they shouldn't be in any real danger."

"So our purpose in going there is actually to redeem people."

A Taoist priest who frequently dealt with Tushan remained calm, at least in his impression that Tushan was roughly like this.

At most, by paying a high price, one can get back the Taoists who have fallen into Tushan's hands.

"Redeem them? No wonder..."

No wonder the Dao Alliance made those preparations before.

However, even if the Dao Alliance comes up with enough money to redeem those fellow Daoists now, their families will have to pay it back later. The Dao Alliance headquarters will definitely not suffer a loss.

However, not everyone was so optimistic, especially some members who were well aware of this Dao Alliance operation.

It seems unlikely that they will be able to redeem the person this time.

"Seniors, this situation may be different. This invasion of Tushan is completely different from previous small-scale operations. Before launching this campaign, they all swore an oath to severely damage Tushan..."

"Given the circumstances of the distress call, the chances of survival are slim."

Seeing that these seniors were so optimistic about the matter, the Taoist who knew the inside story quickened his flying speed, approached the group, and hurriedly cupped his hands to explain the situation.

"What? That's troublesome."

In that case, a peaceful resolution would be quite difficult.

Even here, their safety cannot be guaranteed, so he looked at the people at the front.

"Senior Wen, the Wen family is a prominent Taoist clan. Countless demons have died under the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique. Once we reach Tushan, we will still have to rely on you."

"Of course, you need not worry."

The elder of the Wen family appeared very calm upon hearing this. Compared to other aristocratic families, the Wen family and several other major families were closer to Tushan, and they set off immediately upon receiving the notification from the Dao Alliance.

However, the Wen family and others were extremely confident. Their thunder magic was so powerful that even a demon king would have to give way.

Since they had never truly fought against Tushan, the Wen family members were naturally not afraid.

Just then, a streak of light suddenly came toward them at great speed, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no! A surprise attack! Get out of the way!"

Upon noticing the sudden attack, the Dao Alliance members' expressions changed drastically. While shouting warnings, they quickly scattered in all directions.

But the attack came too suddenly. Those who reacted quickly avoided the attack immediately, but those who reacted slower or had less magic power had no time to dodge or defend.

They were instantly struck by the streak of light, and screams filled the air.

Thirty or forty cultivators who were focused on using their magical artifacts to travel were directly attacked and thrown off balance, their magical artifacts shattered, and they fell uncontrollably from the sky.

"Go! Take them all! Don't let a single one escape!"

The instant the light attack struck, a voice rang out, and a large number of Qingqiu soldiers who had been waiting there took to the air and charged toward the target in the sky.

Among them, Fei Xiao took the lead and charged to the very front.

"A demon race? A fox demon?!"

"How could there be a fox demon from Tushan here?"

The Dao Alliance cultivators in the air looked at the enemy who had suddenly attacked them with disbelief.

This isn't in the Tushan region, but rather in the interior of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance. The fact that so many fox demons have appeared on the Dao Alliance's territory is simply illogical.

Because they had never encountered the Tushan Fox Demon's army in the Dao Alliance's territory.

Even if a Tushan fox demon occasionally appears in the Dao Alliance's territory, it is only a rare exception.

In fact, many Taoist priests consider the fox demons of Tushan to be quite valuable...

Although they were surprised by the fox demon that appeared before them, they didn't have time to think about it. When they realized that their escape route had been cut off, they had no choice but to take action.

"Don't worry, everyone, watch as my divine thunder subdues the demon!!"

Although there were quite a few fox demons in front of them, and none of them seemed simple, the Dao Alliance cultivators were not too desperate.

The enemy has only twenty or thirty thousand fox demons, while they have over a hundred Dao Alliance experts!

Among them, the revered elder of the Wen family took the initiative to appear and flew out, spreading his arms... terrifying lightning gathered around him.

Even the sky began to change; in just a moment... the sky darkened, and countless lightning bolts spread out!

That divine might made everyone feel somewhat oppressed and terrified for a moment.

"Die, you fox demon! I'll show you the power of the Wen family, the number one thunderbolt family in the world! Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder!"

"..."

"As expected of the Wen family elder, he immediately unleashed the strongest Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder. This thunder technique can instantly kill any demon below the Demon King level, and no matter how many there are, it will be of no use."

"With the Wen family elder here, what use are there to a lot of fox demons?"

Seeing the actions of the Wen family elder, the surrounding Taoists were delighted. Following such a senior member of a prestigious family was truly reassuring.

Although they were startled by the sudden attack, they were now completely fearless. Even a demon king would have to submit to this divine lightning.

Those below the level of a demon king are instantly killed upon contact.

"If I could master this divine thunder, what place in the world wouldn't I be able to go?"

When divine lightning is unleashed, the powerful lightning force has a tremendous impact on the surrounding world. The oppressive, shocking, and powerful force instills instinctive fear and worship in people.

Therefore, many demons and Taoists were already terrified just because of the omens that preceded the appearance of divine lightning.

Therefore, another magic technique of the Wen family, the Nine Heavens Heart-Questioning Thunder Technique, is also extremely famous, making people dare not lie at all, fearing being struck by five thunderbolts.

"Die, you fox demon!!"

With a deafening roar, Elder Wen's Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder instantly struck the fox demons led by Fei Xiao.

However, as a gigantic, yellowish phantom appeared, it actually swallowed the divine lightning that others considered extremely terrifying.

Then, in a flash, Fei Xiao appeared in front of the Wen family elder and punched him, instantly shattering his body.

"The Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder is indeed impressive, but it's not as good as Yang Yitan's..."

This divine thunder is indeed extraordinary. In Taoist culture, "Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder" is the signature ability of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder Sounds of the Nine Heavens.

Similarly, in this world, it was considered quite good. After the Black Fox outside the circle controlled Yang Yitan, it used the "Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder" to kill Ji Wuji.

Ji Wuji's "Wind and Thunder Wings" were extremely fast, and he was also one of the masters of the Masked Gang, but he was still unable to dodge the attack of "Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder" and was instantly killed.

Moreover, this spell can break through the enemy's defense. When facing opponents with special defensive measures or magical treasures, "Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder" can still play a role. Its lightning power can penetrate or destroy the opponent's defense and directly cause damage to the enemy.

Aoki Hime can activate a barrier using the Jade Ruyi, granting her immunity to magic and the ability to ward off evil spirits. However, the attack of "Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder" can still break through this defensive state, demonstrating its strong ability to penetrate defenses.

However, the same spell can have vastly different effects depending on who wields it; at least, this elder of the Wen family is not as powerful as Yang Yitan's previous divine lightning.

"Elder Wen!"

"Senior Wen, even Senior Wen..."

The sudden change caught the Taoist priests off guard. The once-imposing elder of the Wen family was dead just like that? Even the divine lightning was swallowed by that fox-like phantom?

However, while they were in shock, the Qingqiu army did not stop and charged straight in, severely injuring a large number of cultivators in an instant.

Several people reacted quickly. The Taoist priests from the Mao family immediately took out various life-saving talismans, which displayed a power completely different from the talismans from the Tianfu family.

"Divine General, summon!"

With a flash of golden light, seven or eight golden divine generals were summoned directly by the Mao family's talismans.

Before they could settle down and give orders to the divine generals, Fei Xiao noticed them, realized he had a target, and conjured two swords out of thin air... his body flashed past.

Then, in less than the blink of an eye, it returned to the same spot.

The others didn't even notice that Fei Xiao had already made his move, but soon several blades of light appeared on the golden divine generals, slicing them open, and then they collapsed on their own.

"This is what you call a divine general?"

There is no Heavenly Court in this world. These gods are just spiritual beings and their power is not even as great as the Demon King.

It seems to somewhat restrain demonic power, but that's all.

"This……"

The Mao family cultivators looked at the devastated divine general. This was their trump card, the talisman, and it was gone just like that? It had only just appeared and hadn't even had a chance to play a role.

This is completely over...

"Take them all."

Having dealt with these most troublesome cultivators, Fei Xiao stopped intervening and handed the task over to the Qingqiu Army around him.

Before long, except for a few Taoists who fought back desperately, all the other Taoists were captured by the Qingqiu army.

“Leave five hundred men to take them back to Tushan, and the rest will continue with me to strike at the heart of the enemy.”

Having dealt with these people, Fei Xiao did not end the operation but prepared to continue forward.

As for these prisoners, considering the upcoming plans, she naturally couldn't kill them all. That would make it even more difficult to completely control the Qi Dao Alliance.

After all, what she wanted was unification, not just the territory of the Qi Dao Alliance.

"Yes, General."

Upon receiving Fei Xiao's order, Fei Xiao's deputy general did not hesitate and immediately made arrangements for the Qingqiu army. The rest of the general continued to advance with Fei Xiao toward the headquarters of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance.

The One Qi Alliance has a wide range of influence, and all areas are occupied by major families. Naturally, the families along the way will not remain indifferent if one wants to reach the Alliance headquarters.

Feixiao had already considered these things, and before leaving Tushan, she had explained to Tushan Honghong and the others why they should cooperate with her here.

The 20,000 to 30,000 Qingqiu soldiers were also there to better arrange manpower for support. Her goal was not to just take a quick look around and go back, but to take over the entire Yi Qi Dao Alliance.

"set off!"

Having determined the route, Fei Xiao led the Qingqiu army to accelerate their advance.
