At the end of the autumn of the forty-first year of Jianxing, this was originally a harvest season, but compared to a busy and vibrant northwest region, the entire Beiting was indeed full of devastation and corpses.

Although the four sects of the Northern Court, such as Zixu and Tianhe, set up a new mountain gate in the Zibai Mountains, and although they formed a coalition of seven sects with the three sects in the Northwest Regions, and had more than 7 million troops near the Tianhe River in Zibai Mountain and the east of Zibai Mountain, for the people who fled to the south and west of the Tianhe River, they were still panicked, and they couldn't wait to go west of Zibai Mountain, and their hearts were a little more steady.

However, due to the heavy troops stationed in the vicinity of the Tianhe River, the large and small groups of monsters still did not dare to approach within a radius of 20,000 miles of the Tianhe River, so that the periphery of the Tianhe River was not too bleak, but the more extensive Beiting region to the east had fallen into a paradise for monsters.

In that vast land, there will be no dense human population, no more evening cooking smoke, no more golden farmland, no more busy traffic—the city is deserted, the village is ruined, and there are long weeds and shrubs everywhere, and in just two or three years, it has become a wasteland, and occasionally you can see a grass valley in the east and a bush in the west.

Not to mention that it is inhabited, even birds and beasts are rare in these areas, and instead there are groups of bloodthirsty monsters in the east and west, wandering aimlessly, searching for those mountain hunters who are slow to move, or who do not think of retreating west because of the lack of information, or who originally inhabit the extremely steep valley slopes and want to escape but have no way to escape.

Although most of the mortals have withdrawn, but the search all over the mountains and wilderness, you will find that there are still a lot of stranded Terran mortals, plus a large number of birds and beasts, at least for the tens of millions of miscellaneous demons who entered the Beiting Court to hunt and eat in the early stage, they will not worry about blood and food for a year or two.

Of course, monsters will also fight each other and hunt each other's flesh and blood.

Tens of millions of monsters receive enough blood food, and in the process they will accelerate their reproduction, and a small number will gradually turn on their spiritual intelligence.

Every once in a while, the Rakshasa Demon Clan will send out a small group of demon soldiers to patrol around, screen out those monsters with apocalypse wisdom, bring them back to the tribe, and organize them into soldiers.

In the north of Longyang Mountain, there is a group of bear demons and a group of ape demons at the same time to find a hidden village at the bottom of a thousand feet deep, in order to compete for the blood and food of more than 2,000 human mortals, they are fighting bloody battles outside the valley, and the winner can enter the valley to enjoy the beauty for a while.

The battle between the demons is primitive and bloody, if in the past, it must be the end of one part completely swallowing the other, but today the fight has not started for long, the strongest bear demon and the strongest ape demon are fighting against each other, and suddenly stopped at the same time, but with their respective demons, they fled separately to the periphery.

After about an hour, the earth began to shake, and a black torrent composed of countless demon soldiers and demon generals drove over from a distance, these demon soldiers and monsters did not look at the remaining monster corpses on the ground, so they trampled them into the mire, just divided a team of soldiers and horses, and plundered more than 2,000 mortals in the valley.

The procession continued for dozens of miles, until nightfall, when it stopped in a mountain depression to rest.

In the darkness of night, dozens of huge black shadows flew from the north and stopped in a large tent.

The huge figure of the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen flashed, and he turned into a big black man, frowning and walking into a big tent.

The Great Demon Lord Shang Mu and Qiu Shan had been waiting in this big tent for a long time, and Wu Zhen sat down sullenly behind a long green jade case, picked up a blood-red bone cup, and drank the bright red liquid in it.

This is the blood of a newborn human fetal child, cut out of the mother's body before birth, the blood contains the power of innate pure yang, making the blood taste pure and sweet, Wu Zhen's mood improved slightly, and he put down the bone cup heavily, and then said in a muffled voice: "Chen Hai is really crazy, yesterday he has completely left the Jiuyuan Fortress, but not to the west, and all the way to the north, the speed is much faster than before, we need to consider, is it possible for the Long Xiang Army to directly attack Xuanyin Valley?"

Shang Mu was silent for a long time, and for a moment, it even thought about whether to let the Great Demon Lord Fang Pu give up the passage at the northern foot of Dajin Mountain and let the Long Xiang army retreat to Tianluo Valley, while they advanced directly towards the Zibai Mountain Range, which might be the most pragmatic choice.

In this way, they can at least take hundreds of millions of people captive.

If these hundreds of millions of people are kept in captivity, they can obtain a steady stream of blood food, and keep feeding, so that not only the demon soldiers and demons under their command can continue to increase their strength, but also those wandering monsters can grow more qualified soldiers.

At this point in the battle, even the Rakshasa Demon Clan in the depths of the Fallen God Abyss has been dispatched for most of them, and the subsequent soldiers who continue to go south from the depths of the Demon Domain will become very limited.

Shang Mu knew very well that there would be fewer and fewer demon tribes who would come over to join them in the future, and if tens of millions of monsters went south and didn't get enough blood food, they wouldn't have much capital to consume with the Seven Sects Alliance?

Could it be that if you don't become a vein of Xuanyin Valley, you really have to stop before Zibai Mountain?

Shang Mu was also big at this time.

Xuanyin Valley is not only the foundation of their operation for hundreds of thousands of years, it was only briefly lost when the Flowing Sun Empire was at its strongest, but it quickly returned to their control.

Of course, although Xuanyin Valley only has 300,000 elite soldiers defending under the leadership of the two Demon Lords, Xuanyin Valley, as their foundation place, deploys the Ten Thousand Demon Dry Bone Great Array, which is several times stronger than the grassy Ten Thousand Demon Dry Bone Great Array east of Red Shadow Peak, even if the Long Xiang army dares to storm the Xuanyin Valley, Shang Mu is not afraid of the lack of logistical supplies, and the Long Xiang army, which has pursuers behind, can really capture the Xuanyin Valley in a short time - at least they will send an elite chasing army to follow behind the Long Xiang army, and if necessary, they can enter the Xuanyin Valley in advance to defend.

However, the key problem is that in the southeast corner of Xuanyin Valley, there are two celestial passages:

A Heavenly Passage is located within the Xuanyin Valley, and the exit on the other side is the Ten Thousand Demon State.

Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture is a demon-raising land directly controlled by Xuanyin Valley, where hundreds of millions of miscellaneous demons inhabit and breed, killing each other, and it is where they continue to replenish their soldiers, it can also be said that there is the foundation of Xuanyin Valley, and it is a place that must be defended.

It is still a Heavenly Passage, which is on the outside of Xuanyin Valley, located in the Shattered Star Gorge, and the exit on the other side is the blood refining field that leads to the Northwest Regions, where the Great Sect of the Terran Sect Wanxian Mountain also has an entrance to enter.

The Heavenly Passage in the Shattered Star Gorge was not naturally formed.

In ancient times, the demons found that the spatial wall there was relatively weak, before the rise of the Liuyang Empire, the space wall there was blasted open, forming a heavenly passage into the blood refining field, and the blood refining field was also used as a demon breeding ground, but after the rise of the Liuyang Empire, the demon clan once lost the Xuanyin Valley, and the space channel was closed.

It wasn't until more than two hundred years ago that Xuanyin Valley obtained several secret treasures from the Dead God Abyss, which greatly increased the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Dry Bone Array in Xuanyin Valley, and then blasted open the spatial Xuanbi there again to form a Heavenly Passage.

At that time, the Blood Refining Ground had become the training ground of Wanxian Mountain.

The Heavenly Passage from Xuanyin Valley to the Blood Refining Ground is extremely unstable, so unstable that even if a demon-guard-level existence enters, it will cause a backlash from the space storm - this is also the key reason why Xuanyin Valley knew about the existence of the Flame Lake Divine Tower as early as 100,000 years ago, but there was no way to take it out.

For hundreds of years, Xuanyin Valley has continuously sent people and horses to infiltrate it, and many demon generals and demon marquis have cultivated since they abandoned themselves and then re-cultivated, just thinking about taking the blood refining field from the hands of the great sect of the human race, Wanxian Mountain, but in the end, they were discovered by Wanxian Mountain and fell short.

Thinking of this, Shang Mu said hesitantly: "You say, could it be that Chen Hai does not have the intention of directly attacking Xuanyin Valley, but has already discovered another Heavenly Passage in the Blood Training Ground, which is actually under the control of our clan?"

As soon as Shang Mu Old Demon asked this, Qiu Shan, Wu Zhen and other demons couldn't help but blow up their scalps.

Although after the plan to seize the Blood Refining Ground failed, Xuanyin Valley covered up the Heavenly Passage in time, thinking that it would be difficult for Wanxian Mountain to detect that the exit at the other end of the Heavenly Passage was in the Shattered Star Gorge near Xuanyin Valley, but where is there an absolute in everything?

The three-eyed magic plan was all surrendered by Chen Hai at this time, who knows how many secrets will be leaked out?

If Chen Hai knew at this time that the Heavenly Passage was located in the Shattered Star Gorge in the southeast corner of Xuanyin Valley, then he led the Long Xiang Army to leave the Jiuyuan Fortress at this time and go north directly, then everything would have been explained!

A chill swelled up in the hearts of the demons.

If in the end, he actually made the Long Xiang Army escape calmly, then Xuanyin Valley would really be embarrassed this time.

The Great Demon Monarch Qiu Shan said with some doubts: "When the Long Xiang Army enters the Shattered Star Gorge, it can lead to the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains through the Blood Training Ground, but the Heavenly Passage in the Shattered Star Gorge can't even accommodate the Demon Guard, and there is no spiritual vein there that allows the Long Xiang Army to deploy the Heaven and Earth Formation and further stabilize the Heavenly Passage." This means that only the ordinary generals of the Long Xiang Army can pass through, and their military attachés and generals above the Spirit Realm cannot enter, and these are the elite combat power that the human race values the most, aren't they afraid of being surrounded by us in the Shattered Star Gorge and annihilated by us?"

Shang Mu's blood-red pupils flashed with an extremely dangerous light, and it was also shocked by its own speculation, and after a long while, it gritted its teeth and said, "What if Chen Hai didn't even think about withdrawing from the Shattered Star Gorge, but through the Blood Refining Field, he continuously obtained supplies, and then attacked Xuanyin Valley? You must know that the Heavenly Machine Chariot, the Heavy Crossbow, the Heavy Blade Arrow, and thousands of ordinary generals can pass through that Heavenly Domain Passage!"

Hearing this, Qiu Shan, Wu Zhen and other demons all gasped, and they didn't expect that after an old nest run by an unknown number of generations of demon lords, there was a danger of destruction at this moment.

The old demon of Qiu Shan said hatefully: "Why haven't the several Great Demon Venerables of the Fallen God Yuan made any moves until now, otherwise a few of their old men rushed to help, maybe they would have taken down the entire territory of Chongguo a long time ago......"

"A few Great Demon Venerables used a great array of rebirths, the loss was too great, and there was not a large amount of Heavenly Demon Blood Pill sent to the Fallen God Abyss, even if a few Great Demon Venerables came out, their strength might not be much stronger than you and me," Shang Mu Old Demon said hatefully, "It's hateful that several Great Demon Venerables have been planning for so long at one time, but they have not been able to intercept a few relics of Liuyang Palace, but they have become an obstacle for us to take down Chongguo, it's really hateful!" Otherwise, if we directly attack Chongguo from the northwest region and cut off the connection between Chongguo and Yue from the west, things will always be much simpler than now, and it is impossible for so many of Chongguo's human races to escape from our control, maybe we will all take down the entire Haidong Great Array now......"

"What are we going to do next?" asked the old demon of Hill.

After listening to Qiu Shan's inquiry, Shang Mu snorted coldly and said hatefully: "Even if Chen Hai's guy makes such a calculation, of course we can't go along with his wishes." After such a long period of attrition, there were less than seven thousand Heavenly Machines left, and they were still more than fifty thousand miles away from Xuanyin Valley. Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan, we can't be stingy with loss in the future, even if the 700,000 elite demon horses and 60,000 winged demon elites are all consumed, we must annihilate the Long Xiang army in the 50,000 long demon domain - just in case, I will inform Fang Pu Great Demon Monarch to immediately lead an elite army back to Xuanyin Valley as quickly as possible, and we must not let the Long Xiang army have a chance to occupy the Shattered Star Gorge - I have a hunch that if this person is not removed, it will definitely become a great ......trouble for my clan's henchmen in the future."

Shang Mou's implication was that they had exhausted all the 700,000 Demon Cavalry and 60,000 Winged Demon Elites, and they might not be able to annihilate the 600,000 elites of the Long Xiang Army in front of the Shattered Star Gorge.

Although Shang Mu's words hit their confidence very much, Wu Zhen also had to admit it.

Wu Zhen had suffered a big loss under Chen Hai, and knew that Shang Mu had such an idea, and it was mature to think about it, so he said: "Just in case, we still have to postpone our march to the west, and we must send some soldiers to the north, and in addition, the monsters of the Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture must also be driven out as much as possible......

It's very simple, if they can't annihilate the Long Xiang Army, and even in the end, as long as they let the Long Xiang Army have a group of elite military attaches and elite generals to flee to the Shattered Star Gorge, they will all pass through the Broken Star Gorge passage and through the blood refining field from the hinterland of the Northwest Regions to continuously replenish ordinary generals and replenish the heavenly machine weapons, and then it will be possible to form an elite army of five or six hundred thousand horses, or even millions of men and horses in a short period of time.

Even taking 10,000 steps back, the Seven Sects Alliance Army even had a small group of elite generals, bypassing their reconnaissance range, and had already rushed to the Shattered Star Gorge first.

The mobilization of 100,000, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers and horses of the human race cannot be concealed from their sight, but if one or two thousand, or even three or five thousand elite generals above the Enlightenment Realm infiltrate the hinterland of the defensive void demon realm, they will most likely be deceived in the past......

To be fully prepared, it is necessary to guard against the possibility that the Beiling Army and the Seven Sects Alliance Army may move millions of elite combat forces through the shortcut of the Blood Refining Field!

*****************************

The Demon Clan's conspiracy to seize the Blood Refining Ground was uncovered by Chen Hai, how could Chen Hai not guess that the Heavenly Domain Passage in the Flame Lake at the bottom of the Blood Refining Field, and the exit on the other side was in the depths of the Demon Domain?

It's just that there is endless void chaos between the heavenly realm, and in the void chaos, space and time are distorted, so it is difficult to judge where the exit on the other side is located in the demon domain from the inside of the blood refining field.

It could be close at hand, it could be a million miles away.

In fact, Chen Hai was through the snake bracelet to confirm the Heavenly Passage of the Flame Lake at the bottom of the Blood Refining Field, and the exit on the other side was near the Xuanyin Valley.

The snake bracelet, also known as the Void Realm Spirit Bracelet, can transmit the soul across the heavens, and it is also one of the ancient relics obtained by the Liuyang Palace back then and cannot be refined by today, but the Void Realm Spirit Bracelet is not without restrictions.

If the distance between the two heavenly realms is too far, and the spatial wall is too thick, it is impossible for the Void Spirit Bracelet to transmit the divine soul.

However, it is precisely this characteristic that when using the Void Spirit Bracelet to transmit the divine soul, it is natural to find out where the weakest spatial wall or connection point between the two heavenly realms is located.

After Long Xiang's army left Jiuyuan Fortress, it did not directly go directly to the Shattered Star Gorge in the southeast of Xuanyin Valley.

In that case, the intention is too obvious, the Xuanyin Valley Demon Clan has fought hard, and will do everything in their power to prevent them from approaching the Shattered Star Gorge, the 600,000 elites of the Longxiang Army lack the necessary supplies, and the Tianji Chariot is advancing wildly along the road, and the loss is extremely powerful, it may not be able to hold out to the Shattered Star Gorge, and the elite of the whole army may have been exhausted.

More importantly, it seems that Xuanyin Valley is extremely important to the demon clan at present, but the Seven Sects Alliance Army and the Beiling Army are really fighting hard, relying on the continuous replenishment of Broken Stars, and the actual effect of capturing Xuanyin Valley is far lower than imagined?

At that time, the demons had already transferred part of their habitat and attack base to the territory of Chongguo, and transferred to several small heavens connected to the territory of Chongguo, even if the status of Xuanyin Valley in the demon clan was dispensable, but after losing it, it would definitely not shake the foundation of the demon race.

If it weren't for that, Chen Hai would have organized soldiers and horses to take down Tiancheng Mountain.

After the Long Xiang army left the Jiuyuan Fortress, they did not go directly to the Shattered Star Gorge on the southeast corner of the Xuanyin Valley, but went directly to the Yinshan Mountain Range in the northwest direction.

The Yinshan Mountain Range is one of the few places within the Northern Demon Domain that has a Heavenly Rank Spirit Vein, and only by taking the first step to occupy it and laying down the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon Punishment Great Array, can the Long Xiang Army get a chance to rest for a long time in the depths of the Demon Domain......

And at this moment, in the depths of the Blood Refining Field, there was a force of two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, surrounded by more than 5,000 Heavenly Machine Chariots, and was rapidly advancing in the direction of Flame Lake.

This elite army of soldiers and horses does not have the existence above the Dao Fetal Realm, after all, Wanxian Mountain uses the Mountain Protection Array, and at most it can only reluctantly send the disciples of the Dao Dan Realm into the Blood Refining Field.

However, in this Renmali, many generals of the Enlightenment Realm and Dao Dan Dao were full of doubts.

Even if it is concluded that the exit on the other side of the Flame Lake Passage is on the southeast corner of the Xuanyin Valley, but that passage is so unstable, only the disciples of the Xuanxuan Realm can enter and will not cause a backlash of the space storm, and there is no spiritual vein near the Flame Lake Passage to deploy a large array to stabilize the channel, they will send hundreds of thousands of generals of the Xuanyuan Realm into the Shattered Star Gorge, there is no elite military attaché of the Spirit Realm, there is no elite military generals of the Ming Realm and Dao Dan Realm to support the skeleton of an elite soldier and horse, even if there are four or five thousand heavenly chariots entering the Shattered Star Gorge together, what use can it be?

Without the support of high-end combat power, in front of the wolf-like demon soldiers and demon generals, wouldn't all the tens of thousands and 200,000 elite soldiers of the Xuan Realm become useless lambs to the slaughter?

It's just that what these generals don't know is that Zhu Yan (Xuanjin puppet) has already arrived next to the Flame Lake Divine Pagoda at this time with the body of the deity that Chen Hai had stayed in Yanzhou before and had never cultivated since then......
