In the center of the grand hall, a towering Qing Fox sat, wearing a faint smile as it observed the heated debate among those gathered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Human Clan possesses dozens of Golden Core cultivators, making them an exceedingly formidable force. We must not underestimate them," the Qing Fox in the center remarked, though it harbored doubts that the Human Clan could turn the tide in this situation.
"Yes! Brother Qingxiao is absolutely right. We should exercise caution and give it our all," other Qing Foxes immediately chimed in upon hearing the central Qing Fox's words.
The remaining Qing Foxes either echoed their agreement or remained silent.
This particular Qingxiao Fox held a unique and esteemed position within the Qing Fox clan.
In the Qing Fox clan, only those with exceptionally pure bloodlines were entitled to carry the "Qing" surname in their names; ordinary Qing Foxes were not granted this honor.
From the initial call to arms to the subsequent discussions with various clans, this Qingxiao Fox had overseen all aspects of the operation against the Human Clan.
"As for the main offensive, we shall discuss it later. Our top priority now is to quickly allocate personnel and prepare for the reception of the various Demon Clans. I plan to build a grand Demon Gathering Platform outside the city, where the Demon Clans can convene..."
Qingxiao elaborated on its plans, determined to make this gathering grand and flawless to enhance its influence.
After its orders were relayed, the entire Azure Void City's Demon Clans sprung into action, constructing magnificent structures outside the city.
However, after they had completed all preparations, not a single Demon Clan arrived.
The grand and splendid Demon Gathering Platform remained empty, with not a single guest besides the Qing Fox clan.
"Damn it, they've betrayed the alliance!" Qingxiao erupted in anger, feeling that it had been stood up by the other Demon Clans.
"Brother Qingxiao, don't be too hasty. Perhaps they were delayed by something on their way here," another Qing Fox offered consolation.
"Very well, I will wait a few more days. The Human Clan is a common enemy of the Demon Clans; let's hope they don't play games," Qingxiao's mood eased slightly, as it believed that the prior agreements should prevent a complete reversal.
As time passed, Qingxiao grew increasingly restless and irritable.
It couldn't fathom why the Demon Clans had broken their promises.
One day, Qingxiao lost control of its temper, smashing furniture and even killing a few slaves. At that moment, another Qing Fox hurriedly approached.
"Young Master Qingxiao, something terrible has happened! Something terrible!" the Qing Fox exclaimed.
"What is it?" Qingxiao demanded.
"Please forgive me, Young Master Qingxiao, but the allied reinforcements are gone! They can't make it here anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Qingxiao's anger flared up. Without waiting for the Qing Fox to continue, it shouted, "Shortsighted fools! They abandoned the Human Clan, focusing only on their petty interests. Do they truly think that without their support, my Qing Fox clan cannot defeat these Human Clan pests?"
In that moment, Qingxiao released all the pent-up anger it had been harboring during this period of waiting.
"Report, Young Master Qingxiao, the allied reinforcements did not breach the contract by failing to arrive; they were ambushed on their way, and the entire army was annihilated," the Qing Fox tremblingly conveyed.
This news shook Qingxiao to its core. It had been waiting for dozens of groups, which included over a hundred third-tier Demon Clan members, and they had all disappeared without a trace.
Qingxiao's mind felt as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt. While they had been waiting for the various Demon Clans to gather and had even discussed how to divide the spoils after the battle, their main Demon Clan forces had been ambushed and annihilated on their way.
This revelation left Qingxiao in a state of disbelief. After a moment of silence, it asked, "With so many groups, nearly dozens of them, totaling over a hundred third-tier Demonic Beasts and thousands of second-tier ones, how could the Human Clan have possibly ambushed them? These groups came from all directions, virtually covering the entire East Zhou region. How could the Human Clan pinpoint and ambush them so accurately? If these groups had converged, the Human Clan would have had an even harder time ambushing them. I cannot fathom this."
Now, before the major battle even began, their entire army had been wiped out. Qingxiao was at a loss for what to do next.
Meanwhile, He Yuan led a group of Golden Core Cultivators resting in a concealed mountain cave.
They had just endured several consecutive days of intense battles, with victories outnumbering losses and overcoming the weak. However, the constant fighting had left them fatigued.
They had only been resting in the mountain cave for half a day, and their spirits had only slightly recovered when they received a Transmission Talisman, instructing them to depart immediately and gather at a designated location.
He Yuan glanced at the Transmission Talisman and shouted to the resting group, "Everyone, quickly get up; we have a new mission."
Upon hearing He Yuan's words, everyone sprang to their feet, their spirits instantly revitalized.
He Yuan understood that they hadn't fully recovered mentally, so he took out a pill bottle containing ten emerald-green pills. These were Pills refined by Wang Hong using Qiu Long Tea and had the effect of alleviating mental fatigue.
Each team leader had been given a bottle for this mission.
Everyone took a pill, and as the refreshing scent filled their mouths and spread throughout their bodies, they felt their spirits rejuvenated, dispelling their previous weariness.
As they received the orders to depart, other teams also received their orders, converging on the same designated location.
Upon arriving at the specified location, they were surprised to find that all eight teams had gathered, and even Zhang Chunfeng, the leader of the Revival Battle Team, was present.
"Brothers, you've all worked hard! This time, we've successfully ambushed thirty-six Demon Clan groups, totaling 103 third-tier Demonic Beasts and over two thousand second-tier Demonic Beasts killed. Our ambush mission is complete, and I want to congratulate each and every one of you in advance!
However, I think we should leave a message for these Demon Clans before we go."
Previously, they had each been fighting separately, and they only knew how many they had individually killed. Now, when they added up the numbers, it was a staggering figure.
To kill over a hundred third-tier Demonic Beasts in a single ambush was a feat that even the six major sects, without the involvement of Nascent Soul cultivators, couldn't achieve.
But when they heard Zhang Chunfeng's latter words, the excitement of the group skyrocketed.
