I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Less than half an hour after the great formation was destroyed and the edge of the energy cavities was destroyed, good news finally came from the western region.

A communication talisman flew in from the west and landed in the Grand Elder's hand. The Grand Elder scanned it with his divine sense, and a rare smile appeared on his aged face: "Song Qingyun and Ouyang Ming have succeeded; the western energy point has been destroyed."

A cheer immediately erupted from inside the tent.

Three acupoints, three teams, all successfully captured.

Although both the east and west sides experienced setbacks, with Song Qingyun losing two core disciples and Ouyang Ming himself suffering serious injuries, the mission was ultimately completed.

The three main veins of the Blood Fiend Heavenly Net Formation were all severed, and the spiritual energy of the earth's spiritual veins could no longer be continuously supplied to the formation.

The Hehuan Sect Master stood outside the main tent, gazing towards the direction of the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate. On the walls of the Blood Fiend Heavenly Net Formation, the crimson light was visibly dimming. The once densely packed runes were extinguishing one by one, and cracks were spreading from three directions towards the center simultaneously, making the entire formation teeter on the verge of collapse.

"Pass down the order." The Hehuan Sect Master's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present. "All troops, prepare. Attack immediately once the formation is broken."

"yes!"

Tens of thousands of disciples responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master also emerged from the main tent and stood beside the Joyful Union Sect Master. His gaze also fell upon the crumbling array, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"The Blood Fiend Sect has stood for over a thousand years, but today it will become history."

Without the earth's spiritual veins, even if the Blood Fiend Sect stores spirit stones, it won't last long.

Just three days later.

Boom~~

A deep, muffled roar came from the direction of Blood Fiend Peak, and the entire earth trembled violently.

On the walls of the Blood Fiend Heavenly Net Formation, the last few runes flickered a few times before finally going out completely. The crimson light shield that had enveloped Blood Fiend Peak for thousands of years collapsed with a roar, like a shattered eggshell.

Blood-red fragments danced in the air, transforming into a sky full of crimson light before slowly dissipating. For the first time, the true face of Blood Fiend Peak was exposed to the allied forces without any concealment. It was a giant peak entirely crimson, with magnificent palaces on its summit and countless caves on its slopes, resembling a giant beehive.

"The great formation has been broken!"

"Charge!"

A deafening roar erupted from the allied forces. Hundreds of airships accelerated simultaneously, like hundreds of giant dragons, hurtling towards Blood Fiend Peak. The array patterns on the airships all lit up, and multicolored lights intertwined in the sky, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Li Hanshan stood on the flying boat, with pure yang fire of purple-gold flowing around him.

"kill!"

At the Third Elder's command, the vanguard of the allied forces charged into Blood Fiend Peak.

The disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect poured out of the mountain gate, densely packed, numbering at least tens of thousands.

They wore blood-red robes, wielded blood-red blades, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent. However, their formation was scattered, and their morale was low; clearly, the collapse of their formation had dealt them a severe blow.

The two torrents collided violently in mid-air.

Spells, sword energy, blade light, and blood-red glints intertwined to create a destructive storm. Screams, shouts, and explosions rose and fell in waves, and blood rained down, staining the crimson mountain peaks an even more striking dark red.

Li Hanshan leaped from the flying boat, his feet treading on fiery clouds, and charged into the enemy ranks. Pure yang fire, a deep purple-gold, burned around him, turning low-ranking disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect to ashes wherever it passed. His flying sword danced in the air, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light, each strike taking a life.

"It's that old man! Kill that old man!"

Several Golden Core cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect noticed him and rushed over simultaneously. Three blood-red blades slashed from three directions, their blood-red light sharp, blocking all his escape routes.

Li Hanshan neither dodged nor evaded, his Pure Yang Meridian surging into motion. His Immortal-grade Golden Core erupted with a dazzling purple-gold light. He raised his hand, and three fireballs shot out simultaneously, accurately striking the three blood blades.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud explosions erupted almost simultaneously, sending the Blood Blade flying backward and causing the three Golden Core cultivators to experience a surge of qi and blood. Li Hanshan flashed and appeared in front of one of them, his flying sword transforming into a streak of purple-gold light that pierced through his throat.

"The second one."

He turned around, and the fireball condensed again, blasting towards the second Golden Core cultivator.

Qin Muyue, Leng Yue, and Chu Mengyao each led their teams in battle. Qin Muyue's pink ribbon danced in the air, each strike felling a Blood Fiend Sect disciple; Leng Yue's spatial short blade was unpredictable, her figure flashing constantly in the void, like a grim reaper reaping lives; Chu Mengyao's emerald beads emitted a soft light, and wherever that light passed, the blood fiend aura melted away like snow.

Although Song Qingyun and Ouyang Ming were injured, their combat power remained astonishing. Song Qingyun's golden sword energy was incredibly sharp; with a single strike, dozens of Blood Fiend Sect disciples died simultaneously. Ouyang Ming gently waved his folding fan, and countless wind blades shot out, slicing his enemies to pieces.

The allied forces' offensive was like a tidal wave, wave after wave, shattering the Blood Fiend Sect's defenses. Although the Blood Fiend Sect disciples fought desperately, the breach of their great formation was a huge blow to them, and it was only a matter of time before their morale collapsed.

"Hold on! Everyone, hold on!"

The Blood Fiend Sect Master hovered in mid-air, his body radiating crimson light, his voice filled with rage and resentment. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, the crimson palm print blasting dozens of allied disciples into a bloody mist, attempting to stabilize the rout.

But the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect will not give him that opportunity.

"Your opponent is me."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect raised his hand, and the black palm print collided violently with the blood-red palm print. The two top experts at the late Nascent Soul stage clashed fiercely in the air, each exchange causing dramatic changes in the celestial phenomena, tearing the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles to shreds.

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master also joined the battle with the Nascent Soul elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect. The two sects already had more Nascent Soul cultivators, and their combat power was also stronger. The Blood Fiend Sect side could not hold on for long.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The Blood Fiend Sect Master finally couldn't hold on any longer. With a single order, the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators began to flee.

But how could the coalition forces let them escape so easily?

The Third Elder led the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect in a frontal pursuit, while the protectors of the Heavenly Demon Sect led their disciples to flank them from the side. The Blood Fiend Sect disciples were caught in a pincer attack, suffering heavy casualties. Those who escaped quickly managed to survive, while those who were slower were intercepted by the allied forces and either killed on the spot or forced to kneel and surrender.

The battle lasted for a full day and night.

As the sun rose the following day, the battle on Blood Fiend Peak finally drew to a close.

The Blood Fiend Sect's banner was felled, replaced by the banners of the Joyful Union Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, which fluttered in the air. The Blood Fiend Sect's palace was occupied by the allied forces, and its scripture pavilion, treasure vault, and alchemy room were looted. The Blood Fiend Sect's disciples were either killed or fled, and the remaining thousands became prisoners, being led to an open area at the foot of the mountain, where they knelt in a dark mass.

Standing atop Blood Fiend Peak, Li Hanshan looked down at the prisoners kneeling and begging for mercy below, but felt little joy in his victory.

He did not like this kind of war.

They didn't feel that this was a war that belonged to them.

The allied forces did not win this battle easily. The combined number of disciples from the Hehuan Sect and the Tianmo Sect was at least three thousand, with countless others seriously wounded.

Hua Nongying walked to his side and gently leaned into his arms. Her red dress was stained with blood, some of her own and some of her enemies'. Her alluring face showed some weariness, but her eyes were full of relief at surviving a calamity.

"Hanlang, we won."

"Mm." Li Hanshan put his arm around her shoulder, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. "We won."

Yun Shuyue also came over and stood on his other side. She didn't say anything, but silently took his hand.

Down the mountain, the Third Elder was counting the prisoners. Thousands of Blood Fiend Sect disciples were divided into several groups; some were escorted back to Huan Sect, while others were handed over to Heavenly Demon Sect.

Their fate was predictable.

"Take all those above the Golden Core stage away." The Third Elder's voice echoed through the mountains. "Those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, isolate them separately. The rest, distribute them according to their cultivation level."

The members of the Joyful Union Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect began dividing the spoils of war. Spirit stones, pills, magic weapons, and cultivation manuals were piled up on the ground, being counted and distributed by the elders of the two sects. The atmosphere was relatively harmonious, after all, the two sects were allies, and they were going to join forces to wipe out the remnants of the Blood Fiend and Yinming sects. Neither of them wanted to cause conflict at this critical juncture.

Li Hanshan did not participate in the spoils. His achievements were already dazzling enough; he didn't need to plunder the spoils. He sat cross-legged on a boulder atop Blood Fiend Peak, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing and recover the spiritual energy depleted during the battle.
