When SloppyOld Daoist returned, the Human Clan had gained three Nascent Soul Cultivators and two hundred Golden Core Cultivators on their side.
On the Demon Clan's side, there were still nine fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, one of which had been severely wounded in a surprise attack and had little fighting capacity left.
SloppyOld Daoist descended directly to Luo Zhongjie's side without any unnecessary words and summoned a Large Black Cauldron, using it to fend off the horn of the single horn Demonic Beast.
Fifty Golden Core Cultivators, united in their effort, finally gained a moment to catch their breath, taking the opportunity to swiftly replenish their own Spiritual Power.
While SloppyOld Daoist held back the lone horn, he pointed his finger, and a green light shot towards the lone horn Demonic Beast.
Seeing this, the lone horn Demonic Beast opened its huge mouth and spewed forth a black flame, countering the green light.
At the same time, other Demonic Beasts joined the fray, either attacking Liu Changsheng and his companion or targeting SloppyOld Daoist and the Golden Core Cultivators by his side.
Surprisingly, these two hundred Golden Core Cultivators, armed with their leaf-shaped magical weapons, were able to restrain the attacks of a fourth-tier Demonic Beast.
Just as the fierce battle raged on, more than four hundred Flying Boats appeared on the horizon, each bearing a large character "楚" (Chu).
These four hundred Flying Boats unexpectedly flew over the Beast Tide without being affected by the raging Demonic Beasts below.
The Demonic Beasts within the Beast Tide were far from being benevolent creatures. Many flying Demonic Beasts leaped into the sky to intercept them.
However, at this very moment, a multitude of strange insects swarmed out of the leading Flying Boat.
These poisonous bees had been bred by Wang Hong during this time, and their total number exceeded ten thousand.
Moreover, this time, their overall strength had grown stronger, with nearly a thousand third-tier Poisonous Bees among them.
Wang Hong had continuously ordered the breeding of these Poisonous Bees, allowing some of the mid to low-tier Poisonous Bees to participate in battles against the Demonic Beasts.
The mid to low-tier Poisonous Bees continuously perished in battle, allowing Wang Hong to breed new Poisonous Bees to fill the gaps.
After several consecutive battles, he had amassed a large number of high-tier Poisonous Bees.
Among them, there were more than a thousand third-tier Poisonous Bees, equivalent to the strength of over a thousand Golden Core Cultivators. The remaining Poisonous Bees included seventy to eighty thousand that had reached the second tier.
Facing such a formidable force, the flying Demonic Beasts attempting to obstruct the Flying Boats in the sky barely held on for a moment before succumbing to death or fleeing.
Then, Wang Hong, leading the four hundred Flying Boats, virtually unhindered, pierced through the Beast Tide and flew over King's City.
When Wang Hong arrived, the battle between the two sides involuntarily came to a halt.
Mainly, Wang Hong's appearance was quite imposing. The over ten thousand Poisonous Bees circling around him made even the fourth-tier Demonic Beasts somewhat wary.
If they wanted to defeat Wang Hong, they would likely have to endure many stings from these Poisonous Bees, which could potentially cost them their lives.
Furthermore, all the Demonic Beasts present had clashed with Wang Hong before and knew that his strength surpassed that of any one of them.
Wang Hong glanced around and understood the situation. At this point, Liu Changsheng and Jia Liang were not in great shape, and continuing the battle would put both of them in danger.
Now that the Demon Clan had stopped, Liu Changsheng and Jia Liang took the opportunity to slip out of the encirclement and flew to Wang Hong's side.
In the end, this Nascent Soul battle, when both sides realized they couldn't gain an advantage, ended with a whimper.
Wang Hong led his subordinates back to the city, and the nine fourth-tier Ancestors of the Demon Clan also returned to their main camp.
"Your Majesty, I have gathered information about the areas surrounding Hezhou, excluding the Eastern Sea, as well as details about the islands and land," SloppyOld Daoist said in a concealed chamber, presenting a Jade Scroll to Wang Hong. This scroll contained all the information he had gathered over the past year.
Wang Hong carefully examined the scroll and learned that Hezhou was already the continent with the richest Spiritual Qi in the surrounding region.
In a nearby continent, the Spiritual Qi was extremely thin, and only a small number of Cultivators resided there, with the highest cultivation level being Foundation Building Realm. On that continent, they were already considered as leaders.
There were also several small and medium-sized islands, some belonging to Demonic Beasts, some to humans, and surprisingly, some were inhabited by both humans and the Demon Clan, living together in harmony on the same island.
"This is excellent. With this information, I have a clearer understanding," Wang Hong remarked. Although the Eastern Sea had some shortcomings, it no longer mattered as the Eastern Sea's Demon Clan was currently at war with them and was naturally hostile to the Human Clan. They were unlikely to venture in that direction in the future.
"Senior Brother, you've worked hard. I killed several fourth-tier Demonic Beasts recently and refined several furnaces of fourth-tier Pills. Here, take this bottle," Wang Hong said, taking out a bottle of Pills and tossing it to SloppyOld Daoist.
During this period, Wang Hong had slain several fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, and except for one that had teleported away with its demon core, he had captured the demon cores of the others.
He had learned from his previous experience and immediately deployed a large net every time he killed a Demonic Beast to trap the demon core.
The demon cores he had captured had all been refined into fourth-tier Pills. However, he had only consumed one to taste its effects, while the rest were distributed to Liu Changsheng, Jia Liang, and SloppyOld Daoist.
Wang Hong had a large number of fourth-tier Pills refined from Spiritual Herbs, but it was not very convenient to take them out, so he could only distribute the Pills that were readily available.
Once Wang Hong distributed the fourth-tier Pills, his subordinates were deeply moved and felt they had chosen the right leader.
After SloppyOld Daoist left, Wang Hong went to check on the injuries of Jia Liang and Liu Changsheng.
Both of them had mostly recovered after taking the fourth-tier Jade Marrow Pills.
During the battle, Liu Changsheng had lost an arm, but it was slowly regenerating.
In the following days, the Demon Clan continued their daily attacks on the protective city formation of King's City, but there were no further Nascent Soul-level battles.
Such battles were too unpredictable, and if not careful, they could easily end up losing their lives.
During this time, Chen Xiaofeng, leading the Ministry of Works, was busy manufacturing various weapons and magical weapons.
Now, in addition to the military, the common people in King's City were also being equipped with weapons. The ordinary citizens were no longer the same as before, as they could easily perform tasks that required several hundred pounds of strength.
With weapons in their hands, they would have some means of self-defense if they ever encountered low-tier Demonic Beasts in the future.
However, if the prolonged fighting continued, the city's defenders would face a shortage of arrows and short spears.
Most of the soldiers on the city walls were martial practitioners who could not use magical arts and were limited to using arrows and short spears. The daily consumption of these resources was enormous.
Fortunately, when Wang Hong raided the Demon Clan's homes during his last visit, he had mixed many of his Spiritual Objects from his Space into their resources and placed them in the national treasury.
This included various types of spirit wood from his Space, all of which he had blended in, so they were now using the spirit wood he had mixed in.
