Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Chapter 101 Reinforcements

Rout! Massacre!

The demonic invaders, who arrived with great enthusiasm, never imagined that in just two short hours, in this country "without cultivators," this paradise that was within their grasp, they would suffer such a terrible defeat.

According to Li Shanhai's plan, a joint expeditionary force of 1,500 men would be enough to conquer a continent without the protection of any sect.

However—the reality was quite the opposite; wave after wave of demonic cultivators fell, and they didn't even manage to touch the hem of a Great Xia person's clothes.

The monsters that once slaughtered countless lives are now the ones being slaughtered.

"Damn it—"

"These lunatics!"

"We've been tricked by the Blood Sea Sect!"

"This is a conspiracy! This must be a conspiracy by Taihua!"

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

Death shattered the morale that had never existed to begin with.

These demonic invaders came with the intention of plundering and occupying; they lacked the courage to fight to the death and were not prepared for the consequences.

Just as Ning Boxing thought, this group of people had no idea what war was.

The dozens of survivors at the rear, their faces filled with panic, ran back into the sea, each using their supernatural powers to escape. Even though their ships were destroyed, they still wanted to escape by swimming.

This land is so strange; it is indeed rich, but it is also undeniably eerie.

They were willing to fight against the Immortal Alliance.

The Immortal Alliance is also their enemy, and battles will also take place between them.

But—this is a completely different situation.

When fighting against cultivators from immortal sects, they can roughly gauge the strength of each other based on their cultivation level.

The weak can be bullied, while the strong must seize the opportunity to escape.

Although some rely on special supernatural powers, magic spells, and magical artifacts to achieve cross-border combat, these are, after all, few and far between.

Battles between cultivators are predictable.

However, upon arriving here, everything becomes confused, and the boundaries are blurred.

The only things that can be compared are willpower, courage, and wisdom.

Their most important advantage was suppressed without limit, and instead they had to fight within a framework of rules that were completely unfamiliar to them and that they did not understand at all. Caught between a rock and a hard place, they lost their lives in a daze.

This was too suffocating and too terrifying for them.

Nobody wants to be cannon fodder.

only----

Entering this world is easy, but leaving is probably difficult.

"Waaaaah~"

White steam rose into the sky, and the demonic cultivators swimming on the sea looked up in bewilderment, seeing only the fluttering crimson dragon banner, and—

Those magnificent warships that blot out the sky.

The vast ocean blocked their way home.

The cannon muzzle was still a dark, gaping hole, aimed at all of them.

"Damn it!"

"drink!"

Even after turning away from the monsters on the shore and entering the sea, there were still obstacles.

At least they were freed from the battlefield's suppression and could now use their magic power a little.

A demonic cultivator shouted, formed a hand seal, and unleashed a spell at the large ship with all his might.

A chilling wind howled, and a sinister black wind pushed a sinister skull toward the ship.

In the next instant, the person on the deck of the large ship gently waved his sleeve, and a vast and mighty aura soared into the sky. The righteous energy that pierced the heart instantly dispelled the demonic cultivator's magic.

The demonic cultivator who cast the spell trembled, feeling the clear voice echoing in his ears, deafening and leaving his mind blank.

The duel ended.

Next, what they faced was the dark, gaping muzzle of a cannon on the ship.

When they first arrived, they didn't know what it was, but now—they do.

They're using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes again.

Sensing the enemy's rout on the front lines, Xie Cangrong shook his head and released the jade seal from his hand. (Jade Seal)

It fell to the ground but didn't break. Instead, it seemed to fall into the water, blending in and disappearing.

In response to this invasion, he deployed 100,000 troops along the coast, meticulously preparing defenses. Apart from the Xuanfeng Army led by Ning Boxin, the rest were all elite troops. He also evacuated the civilians—making all sorts of worst-case scenarios.

But to my surprise, this is how it turned out.

A battle that was like a crushing massacre.

This can be considered a happy kind of trouble.

Perhaps his Great Xia was much stronger than he imagined.

At least—that's how it is on his own turf.

Of course, he couldn't let his guard down—it was just the first round of fighting, perhaps just a test by the suicide squad?

After all, these people aren't particularly strong.

"What...what is this?"

Five days later, Lu Junfeng was summoned to the palace. He stared wide-eyed at the huge pile of messy things in front of him.

Bells, small flags, gourds, bone staffs, knives, spears, halberds—a jumble of random things were scattered all over the ground.

Many of them had ominous auras, and looking at them made one feel somewhat uneasy.

Lu Junfeng: ?

What the hell is all this stuff?

Since the Immortal Alliance couldn't reach an agreement, His Majesty went to the Demonic Sect to purchase goods?

Or did that genius inventor create all these eerie things? Has the Great Xia's research direction gone astray?

Xie Cangrong observed Lu Junfeng, whose face was full of question marks, smiled, and didn't hide anything: "A few days ago, more than 1,500 cultivators crossed the sea, intending to harass our East China Sea border. They were wiped out by our army. These things belong to them."

"Can you help me figure out who they are?"

Lu Junfeng: ?

To seize the young?

Annihilated? More than 1,500 people were wiped out by a mortal army in the Great Xia Dynasty, which had very few cultivators?

Your Majesty, what are you saying?

Monk?

Demonic cultivators?

How did they manage to bypass the Taihua Sect and come here?

What happened?

Lu Junfeng could understand every word Xie Cangrong said, but when they were put together, he couldn't quite make sense of them.

Based on his understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xie Cangrong, awesome!

He possesses immense strength, capable of slaying powerful figures like Venerable Cihui, making him a top-tier individual with exceptional abilities.

Qi Xiu and Gong Qiao are just average!

They possess some strange powers, and their strength is difficult to assess.

The Great Xia army? That's rather strange!

However, since the constituents are all ordinary mortals, it's hard to say, after all, Taihua has never had a major conflict with Daxia.

Subconsciously, he still believed that the Great Xia was a powerless mortal nation that could only rely on Xie Cangrong's protection.

However, Xie Cangrong had always been in the palace. He might be able to crush a single strongman, but he might not be able to deal with an invader from such a vast territory.

But now, what did Xie Cangrong say?

In this peaceful and prosperous era, a battle broke out in a place unknown to him.

More than 1,500 demonic cultivators suddenly invaded the Great Xia Dynasty, and were then wiped out?

"Envoy Lu?"

Seeing that he was in a daze, Xie Cangrong called out again.

He summoned Lu Junfeng not to tell him this matter, but to observe the other party.

The intelligence that invaders were about to appear was sent back to Great Xia by Liu Bingxuan.

With Liu Bingxuan situated in Taihua, his only source of intelligence was Taihua itself.

Two prisoners were captured on the East China Sea front, but they were just low-ranking soldiers who knew little about the situation; they were simply sent by their superiors to invade the Great Xia.

Xie Cangrong wanted to know what role Taihua played in this invasion, and what role the Immortal Alliance played? Would they be able to have a proper talk once they won this war?

After all, Taihua is the sect closest to the Great Xia Dynasty, and Taihua would know if the Demonic Sect wanted to come.

It was because the Demonic Sect launched a massive attack that Taihua was too preoccupied to defend itself, which allowed the Demonic Sect to occupy the southwest and advance into the territory of Great Xia.

Or is it that Taihua intentionally lured the Demonic Sect to act as a suicide squad to test the strength of the Great Xia?

Xie Cangrong guessed that it was most likely the latter.

He was curious whether Lu Junfeng knew about this.

"Forehead----"

Lu Junfeng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! These are all items belonging to demonic cultivators! And it's not just one demonic sect; Great Xia has been targeted by demonic forces!"

"The best course of action now is to immediately contact the Immortal Alliance!"

"Don't rush~ Don't rush~"

Xie Cangrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Envoy Lu, have you forgotten? Our dynasty doesn't need the protection of the Immortal Alliance."

It seems that Lu Junfeng knows nothing.

He pointed to the mess of magical artifacts on the ground: "They are all dead."

Lu Junfeng: ————

Is it really possible for a dynasty in this world to not be protected by the Immortal Alliance?

However, he did not notice that Xie Cangrong seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Time rewinds, and southwest of Hemingzhou, waves crash against the shore.

These demonic cultivators practiced the path of unrestrained indulgence, making them indeed difficult to discipline.

Even when they formed an allied army, there was little order.

Some people were practicing cultivation, some were having fun and celebrating, and some were spreading out to plunder, making a complete mess of the place.

At the beach, Li Shanhai stood alone on the sand, gazing southwest into the distance.

That was the direction from which the first wave of the Demonic Sect expedition set off. The ships of the disciples from various sects had long since disappeared into the man-eating fog, and no one knew whether they would ever return.

Unlike the vast sea of ​​blood in Blood Slaughter Holy Continent, the abyss of Crane Cry Continent is azure and clear, with a soothing scent in the air.

He held a blood-red crystal in his hand, awaiting his disciple's response.

-

He had just received news that the Demonic Sect's expeditionary force had crossed the poisonous miasma, and that casualties were within an acceptable range. The Great Xia was indeed as rich and beautiful as the intelligence had described.

This is all good news —

Next, he hoped to get better news.

Once you embark on this path, there's no turning back.

He no longer wanted to return to Bloodbath Holy Continent.

The Immortal Alliance might let them out, but they might not necessarily let them go back.

If he doesn't gain anything from this trip, aside from the members of the Immortal Alliance, his allies around him will probably rush up immediately and tear him to pieces.

It's a big gamble.

The other demonic sects only sent out some forces, but he personally took to the field as the Blood Sea Sect Master.

Unlike the Immortal Alliance, which is composed of multiple powerful sects with rich foundations, the Demonic Sect is a pure and dominant holy sect. All other sects combined may not be as powerful as the Blood Slaughter Holy Sect.

The Immortal Alliance is an alliance of immortal sects, while the Demonic Sect is a demonic branch of the Holy Sect.

In the Blood Slaughter Holy Continent, the Blood Slaughter Holy Cult is the absolute rule-maker, controlling the largest amount of land and population.

The newly appointed leader of the Blood Slaughter Holy Cult is a ruthless and cunning man; he's up to no good.

If they don't find a way out, what awaits them may only be a slow death.

They were intent on squeezing out their living space, leaving them no room for resistance.

Now that an opportunity has presented itself, he must seize it. He can only keep moving forward, he must successfully invade, he must occupy the Fifth Continent, he must find a way to cross the vast poisonous miasma, utilize the resources and population of the Fifth Continent, and rebuild an even more prosperous demonic sect, surpassing the Blood Slaughter Holy Sect of murderous intent, ruling the entire demonic path, and creating an unprecedented golden age for the demonic sect.

Either be strong or die!

With no middle ground, given the immense opportunity presented by the Fifth Continent, he was determined to give it his all.

But now it seems that everything is going smoothly.

In the silence, "Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, a series of violent roars came from afar, as magical power flowed and a huge energy collision erupted.

"Forehead!"

"ah!!"

"They're from the Immortal Alliance!"

"Jinglan, it's Jinglan! What are those lunatics doing here!"

"have a finger in the pie!"

Exclamations of surprise came from all directions. Li Shanhai's eyes sharpened, his brows furrowed, and he looked up to the east.

coming!

In his view, the biggest risk of this westward journey does not lie in the mysterious fifth continent that he has not yet set foot on.

It's here!

Immortal Alliance!

Those righteous sects will not allow the demonic sects to escape from Bloodbath Sacred Continent and cause trouble on their territory.

However—he was indeed 80% certain that the nearest Taihua Sect and Wuxiang Chan Sect would not cause them any trouble.

This is another deal.

However—the Immortal Alliance is not just one or two sects.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light, and sword energy crisscrossed.

A precious sword was plunged into the sand where Li Shanhai had just stood gazing at the sea. Under the sunlight, it emitted a chilling light, reflecting Li Shanhai's cold and hard face.

The next instant, a figure landed on the beach, drawing a sword stuck in the ground, its blade pointing directly at Li Shanhai's brow: "Li Shanhai, you left Blood Demon Continent and came to Crane Cry Continent to slaughter civilians, are you trying to provoke a holy war between immortals and demons?!"

Li Shanhai frowned, and with a gentle wave of his hand, his powerful magic surged, causing the sea to churn. The surrounding waves were dyed a blood-red color, and the crashing waves, containing a terrifying power, rushed towards that person.

"What's it to you?!"

"Zhou Xin, this is Crane Cry Continent! Not your Deer Spirit Continent! The Taihua Sect hasn't said anything, so what are you busybodies doing coming all this way?!"

The person in front of him is not as strong as him, but his identity is very troublesome.

His arrival means Jing Lan has left the stage!

Li Shanhai would rather face Taihua than Jinglan.

The newcomer snorted coldly, swung his sword horizontally, and unleashed a fierce sword strike that sliced ​​through the waves: "Hmph! If you don't harm innocent mortals, we naturally won't interfere!"

Li Shanhai glared at him and roared, "You? What right do you have to tell me what to do?!"

With his furious roar, the howls of tigers echoed, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his aura surged. Faint images of tigers and whales could be seen disappearing behind him.

His name is "Shan Hai" (山海), with the tiger as the master of the mountains and the whale shark as the king of the sea.

The earth shook violently, and the waves surged.

The blood mist instantly enveloped the entire island, and any life that touched it withered and dissolved.

However, in the next instant, before he could launch an attack,

"Heh~"

A burst of sneer suddenly echoed from the sky.

A gentle breeze blew, and Li Shanhai's eyes suddenly narrowed, causing him to abruptly take two steps back.

The phantom image of the orca shark behind them seemed to be blown away by the slight breeze.

"If he can't control it, is it possible for this old man to?"

A vast and desolate voice came, which made him tremble and look on in horror.
