Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Not long after, a lieutenant walked quickly to Fei Xiao's side and whispered, "General, we just received news that the One Qi Alliance has urgently summoned the elders and disciples of various families and they have arrived at the Alliance headquarters."

Having overcome numerous obstacles, the Qi Dao Alliance could not possibly have been left without news.

Although it is ancient times, this is a world where cultivation is possible. The spells and talismans of the One Qi Alliance are all-encompassing, and they probably received the notification from the Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman long ago.

Feixiao had previously wondered why he hadn't seen any Dao Alliance headquarters personnel come to provide support, but it turned out that they had all been summoned to headquarters.

It seems the other side knew her purpose was to reach the Dao Alliance headquarters, so they simply summoned cultivators from various Dao Alliance families for a direct decisive battle.

"Alright! Let's solve this together so we don't have to run back and forth anymore."

Feixiao nodded; this was exactly what she wanted.

Although the Qi Dao Alliance still possesses formidable combat power, the true top-tier families have not yet completely withdrawn from the fray.

Wang Quan, the Yang family, the Qingmu family, the Li family, the Ji family...

"Pass down the order, the hunt begins."

Although the battles that followed were mostly hers, after all, many of the disciples and seniors from these top families were at least at the Demon King level.

The Qingqiu army is currently beyond our ability to deal with; we can only rely on ourselves.

But with the tactics I've taught, even if I can't win... restraining them won't be a problem.

"Yes."

The lieutenant nodded upon hearing this.

She no longer had any doubts or hesitations about Fei Xiao's orders. The power Fei Xiao had shown during this period of time had completely won her over.

Even when facing all the cultivators of the Qi Dao Alliance, he firmly believed that Feixiao would win.

After the deputy general left, Fei Xiao took out a longbow.

Then her body hovered above the cliff, and a terrifying blue aura appeared around her, swirling up all the leaves and pebbles around her.

Then, Feixiao drew back the bowstring, and the power of the hunt continuously gathered in the longbow in his hand, forming an arrow.

Her gaze locked onto the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance ahead, her eyes piercing through space to see the senior members of the Dao Alliance families gathering in the city dozens of miles away.

At this very moment, a large number of cultivators have been summoned to the vicinity of the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance.

The elders and heads of various prominent families gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Leading the group was Steward Fei, representing the Wang family, surrounded by the heads of the Yang and Li families, their elders, and the Ji family...

Everyone here is a prominent figure in the One Qi Dao Alliance, and most of them are as powerful as Demon Kings or Great Demon Kings, with some even capable of dealing with Demon Emperors.

"Since you're all here, let me give you a gift first."

Looking at those senior Taoist masters, Fei Xiao's lips curled up, and after gathering his strength, he released the arrow in his hand.

The next moment, the arrow formed by the power of the hunt shot out, turning into a blinding white light, like a dazzling meteor flying rapidly toward the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance.

"not good!"

"Danger! Quickly deploy the defensive barrier!"

A highly skilled individual at the Dao Alliance headquarters, possessing a strong ability to foresee danger, suddenly sensed this and immediately stood up, loudly issuing a warning.

Although the others did not understand, they all immediately activated the headquarters' defensive barrier.

The next second, they saw a shooting star flying across the sky.

"what is that?"

"A shooting star? It's so bright!"

"Danger! Get down!"

Looking at the shooting star, some people were puzzled and curious.

Those who were more perceptive instantly understood what was happening, but it was too late to escape. Those with defensive magic items or talismans could use them, while those without could only lie down.

The senior Taoist masters acted even faster. Even with defensive barriers, they almost instinctively took out defensive magic weapons or placed them in front of them.

The moment the meteor fell, a massive mushroom cloud rose above the Dao Alliance headquarters, its power utterly unstoppable by the defensive barrier.

In that instant, the entire city's buildings were destroyed.

45

Chapter 45 A thousand-mile pursuit of the enemy, a fight to the death.

Looking at the giant mushroom cloud rising dozens of miles away, Fei Xiao calmly put away his longbow and fell from mid-air.

Sensing the approach of the Qingqiu army behind her, she raised her right hand to signal, and the next moment, the entire Qingqiu army behind her, armed with weapons, charged toward the headquarters of the Yiqi Dao Alliance.

The procession of seven thousand people was densely packed, like a torrent, and looked exceptionally magnificent.

"I hope you won't disappoint me too much."

After observing for a while, Feixiao also began to take action.

Although her arrow was quite powerful, she deliberately held back, as there were definitely survivors, especially those cultivators with amazing defensive capabilities.

Feixiao didn't want to wipe them out completely; he just wanted to intimidate them before the battle.

Although this deterrence may be a bit too much for them.

In the blink of an eye, Fei Xiao appeared in front of the Qingqiu army, gun in hand. She led the charge, deliberately slowing her pace, and steadily approached the headquarters of the Yi Qi Dao Alliance.

At this time, the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance was completely in ruins. None of the surrounding buildings were intact, and many people had collapsed and never woken up again, forever asleep.

Suddenly the ground throbbed, and more than a dozen figures emerged from underground.

"Pah, pah, what was that meteor all about? It was so terrifying, and it just so happened to hit our Dao Alliance headquarters."

Upon leaving the underground, one person spat out the dirt in his mouth, looked at the surrounding ruins, and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If he hadn't used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a technique that allows one to escape into the ground) immediately, he would probably have been in grave danger.

"Something terrible has happened; so many people have died."

A man standing nearby glanced at the Taoist priests lying on the ground, a deep sorrow filling his heart.

"Could it be that only my Deng family survived by relying on earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic or technique)?"

All of them, a dozen or so, were members of the Deng family. They were not only proficient in petrification techniques but also extremely skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape danger) techniques. The others were probably not so lucky.

However, it was clear that they were not the only ones who survived; others with means of protection also gradually rose up.

"Cough cough cough..."

With a cough, the Li family patriarch and his disciples stood up, each carrying a defensive magic weapon.

However, at this point, the magical artifacts had all developed cracks, and some had even shattered completely, but fortunately, they survived.

In addition, elders from the Mu family, as well as experts from the Ji family, Xiao family, Qing family, and Yang family, emerged from the ruins.

"Quickly! Check the casualties, everyone else, focus on healing your injuries and prepare for battle."

At this moment, several elders and stewards of the Wangquan family also came out, and even the disciples of the Wangquan family around them were not seriously injured.

The Wang family elders immediately issued orders, stating that this sudden attack was not the end, but just the beginning.

"what's the situation?"

The others were still a little confused. They had just escaped one disaster, and now they had to face another one.

Just then, the head of the Yang family stepped forward from next to the elder of the Wang family. His Heavenly Eye flashed with a white light, as if he could see through the secrets of heaven.

Everyone felt as if he could see right through them, as if they were naked, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"The attack just now was caused by the fox demons of Tushan. Now those fox demons have already attacked. There is no time to delay any longer. Everyone, prepare to fight them immediately, otherwise our Yi Qi Dao Alliance will cease to exist."

The head of the Yang family quickly explained the situation and began checking the personnel to determine how much fighting force was left to prepare for the upcoming battle.

At this critical moment of life and death, the members of the Qi Dao Alliance demonstrated an unimaginable speed of execution, assembling and counting their numbers in the shortest possible time.

The sudden attack just now caused great losses to the Yi Qi Dao Alliance, but it still retained a lot of strength. The key is that... the ace combat forces of the major families were not greatly affected.

Aside from a few unlucky individuals who lost their lives due to a lack of means to protect themselves.

"Damn monster! It has caused such severe losses to our Qi Dao Alliance. We must make it pay the price."

After the casualties were confirmed, many senior members of the Dao Alliance looked extremely grim. This was definitely the most severe loss ever suffered by the One Qi Dao Alliance.

Even the Western Regions Sand Demon, who inherited the power of the Dragon Demon, had reached the doorstep of the Royal Family, but it was never as serious as this time.

Such losses have only intensified the already deep-seated hatred between humans and demons, which was already unshakeable.

They were not even afraid of the sudden attack; on the contrary, they were determined to fight it to the death.

Although the previous attacks were terrifying, the monsters that possessed the power of dragon demons back then also had such great power, yet they were still defeated by the Heaven and Earth Sword.

Moreover, the One Qi Alliance is no longer what it once was.

Centuries ago, the entire human cultivator population relied primarily on the protection of the royal family. It was only through the leadership of the Heaven and Earth Sword that they were able to resist the invasions of demon races from various regions.

However, in the last hundred years, the overall strength of the Qi Dao Alliance has been expanding, and the major families have become powerful enough to not fear the Wang Quan family.

This is why families like the Xiao family have all conceived the idea of ​​replacing Wang Quan and Dongfang as the leaders of the Dao Alliance.

As humans, they are inferior to demons in terms of pure strength and lifespan, but the magical artifacts and innate supernatural abilities they possess can make up for the difference between the two.

Just like the Masked Gang, even though they are only around twenty years old, they look like babies in front of demons who have lifespans of thousands or tens of thousands of years, but their strength is enough to rival that of a great demon king.

“In previous years we were too lenient with the fox demons of Tushan. We knew these monsters were definitely not benevolent and should have been dealt with long ago.”

Upon learning that the previous attack was carried out by the Tushan fox demon, many Taoists who already hated the demon race felt even more resentful.

The Dao Alliance used to go to Tushan to cause trouble every now and then, but very few people actually went. If they had known this would happen, they should have taken down those fox demons in one fell swoop.

The Taoist priest next to him shook his head. Although the One Qi Alliance had indeed grown stronger recently, it was not so easy to completely destroy Tushan.

After all, the Yi Qi Dao Alliance is not only facing Tu Shan, but also the other three major demon kingdoms.

The Qi Dao Alliance, which occupied the central region of the continent, was simultaneously surrounded by the four great demon kingdoms.

Enemies are everywhere—up, down, left, and right.

If the Dao Alliance dares to launch a full-scale attack and destroy Tushan, who can guarantee that the other three great demon kingdoms won't take this opportunity to invade the Dao Alliance?

No one expected that Tushan, the weakest of the three demon kingdoms, would one day take the initiative to invade the Yiqi Dao Alliance, and even conquer cities and territories all the way, heading straight for the Dao Alliance headquarters.
