Chapter 417: The Temporary Lull in the War
Since they have already started preparing, I can't stay here all the time. Next I should instruct my subordinates to start the cleanup work.
In the next few days, many people from the Ice Spirit Clan have left, with the purpose of going to the various towers in the Jiuzhou Continent to search for the Demon-Slaying Core.
Because of the presence of powerful people, many people from other sects began to join in. Only the people from Nanli Sect stayed indoors and only focused on the enemies in front of them.
It was not until a month later that the situation in Kyushu Continent improved. The demons did not make much movement, and the human race had already established a defense line.
Although many places in Kyushu Continent have been occupied by the demons, they have no other options now and can only wait until the red moon phenomenon is over.
But they don’t know when the red moon phenomenon will end. It may be as short as a year or as long as several decades. For them, this is an agonizing process.
Among the Ice Spirit Clan, Chen Li was constantly slashing at the Cold Heart Jade in front of him. At this time, only a small bit of the Cold Heart Jade was left.
"The last sword!" Chen Li shouted softly, and slashed at the Cold Heart Jade Marrow in front of him.
Boom! This sword directly absorbed the remaining power of the Frostheart Jade Marrow. At this time, Chen Li also sensed a chill in the Sword of Four Seasons.
He slowly closed his eyes and felt the changes in the Sword of Four Seasons. During this period of time, the Sword of Four Seasons had been absorbing power and now had some increased capabilities.
As the thought moved, a chilly air continued to spread. Originally, there was spiritual energy in the house, so it was not that cold. But now, the whole house has condensed into frost, and even the surrounding trees have turned into ice sculptures.
"I didn't expect that this is not a formation, but a domain." Chen Li looked at the situation around him and muttered to himself.
Although Chen Li possesses the sword realm, he now has the ice realm, which is also a very good thing for him.
Moreover, this is something that comes with the Sword of Four Seasons, and it does not require the consumption of spiritual energy at all. In other words, it can be deployed almost at any time without wasting one's own spiritual energy.
In addition, with its increased sharpness, if Lingtian Sword is used , even a strong man in the Tianyan period may not be able to resist it.
Thinking in his mind, Chen Li turned around and walked outside. When he went out, he found that there were few people around.
"I didn't expect that you could absorb the Cold Heart Jade Marrow so quickly." At this time, a figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Li, which shocked Chen Li.
He turned to look at Bai Qing beside him and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior."
Bai Qing waved her hand but didn't say anything, because she was still quite surprised that Chen Li could refine the Cold Heart Jade Marrow so quickly.
If it were an ordinary late stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, it would probably take a year and a half to refine such a large piece of Cold Heart Jade Marrow.
However, Chen Li only spent a short month to completely refine the Cold Heart Jade Marrow.
"You are concerned about the manpower here, right?" Bai Qing seemed to know what Chen Li was thinking and asked calmly.
Chen Li nodded : "Yes, I remember when I came here, there were still many people around. Why are there only a few people left now?"
The people in the Ice Spirit Clan’s territory were just some younger generations in the Jindan and Yuanying stages, and no one else was seen at all.
"They naturally went out to fight the demons. Although the situation outside has stabilized now, it may still be difficult to do anything to the demons." Bai Qing said lightly.
Chen Li touched his chin. In other words, the Kyushu Continent had already defended against the initial attack. This was pretty good.
It’s just that neither side has taken any action right now, which is quite surprising. It seems that we still need to think of some solution.
"Senior, you possess such powerful strength, can't you take action against those demons?" Chen Li looked at Bai Qing in front of him and asked in confusion.
You know, Bai Qing is a strong man in the Tianyan period. With her strength, she can kill a large number of demons with just a few random attacks.
But looking at the expressions of Bai Qing and Li Cang, such a long time has passed, but they still haven't taken any action.
Bai Qing put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I know what you are thinking, but you have to understand that if we take action, Kyushu Continent will only be in greater trouble."
"What do you mean?" Chen Li's doubts were magnified, and he asked Bai Qing.
After all, he was only a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so naturally he had no idea about the thoughts of the Tianyan Realm cultivators. Therefore, it was understandable that he wanted to find out clearly.
Bai Qing replied: "If we take action, we can indeed kill the demons in Jiuzhou Continent, but it will also cause immeasurable destruction and cause chaos in space and spiritual energy."
"So that's how it is? It seems this is really scary." Chen Li touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Bai Qing continued to explain, "Of course, these are not the most important things. The important thing is that once we take action, the Tianyan period strongmen in the demon clan will sense the disordered space and pass through the gap to enter the Jiuzhou Continent."
Chen Li took a deep breath. No wonder they had no intention of taking action from the beginning to the end. It turned out that they were worried about this problem.
Now they don’t know whether the Demon Emperor will appear, so they naturally cannot act rashly. Once they act, the Demon Emperor in the Tianyan period will definitely appear along the cracks in the disordered space.
In addition, Chen Like didn’t know how many Demon Kings there were among the demons. If more than one appeared from the cracks in the disordered space, that would be the most troublesome.
It seems that they have already thought about these things a long time ago, so they have been hiding and have no plans to take action.
In the current situation, I can only take one step at a time and rely on the power of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation. It seems that I can't continue to sit here and wait for death.
"It just so happens that you have already refined the Cold Heart Jade Marrow. There is no need for you to stay here anymore. Go outside and deal with things first." Bai Qing looked at Chen Li and said very solemnly.
Chen Li nodded. He had the same idea. If possible, he certainly hoped to go to the outside world as soon as possible.
After Bai Qing's figure disappeared, Chen Li turned and walked towards the transmission portal.
He is now very clear that what he needs to do next is to break through those impenetrable places.
With his cultivation in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, and various trump cards at his disposal, it is not a problem for him to destroy a group of demons by himself.
After leaving the Ice Spirit Clan's territory, Chen Li sensed that there were many demons around who were staring at this place.
"Hmph, you are really looking for death. Do you really think you can ambush people by just staying here?" Chen Li snorted lightly and suddenly emitted a series of sword energy.
At this moment, the identities of hunter and prey were directly exchanged, and the demons hiding nearby became corpses in just a moment.
After dealing with these guys, Chen Li seemed very calm, and then walked forward step by step.
Not long after, Chen Li returned to the entrance of the Western Desert. There were fewer demons in this place, but those from the Qingming Clan were still here.
When Li Yongsheng saw Chen Li coming back, he showed surprise on his face, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Although a month has passed, according to the patriarch, Chen Li will not come back until more than a year later.
As a result, Chen Li came back in just one month. How could this not be surprising?
Chen Li said, "I came back naturally after I finished dealing with the matter, but I didn't expect that you guys are still guarding here."
"The demon clan's base camp is not far ahead. Now we dare not walk around randomly, and we have also added a lot of manpower here." Li Yongsheng said.
Now this place is not only guarded by people from the Qingming Clan, but also by people from the Bingling Clan. There is no need to worry that those guys will break through here.
"So that's how it is? It seems like you don't need my help here." Chen Li nodded and prepared to leave.
Just when Chen Li was about to return to Nanli Sect, he was stopped by Li Yongsheng, who then handed him a map.
Looking at this map, Chen Li showed a look of confusion on his face. He had already memorized the map of Kyushu Continent by heart, so why would he be given a map at this time?
"I know you are confused, but you also have to understand that the current situation is not as simple as you think. Now one-third of the territory of Kyushu Continent has been occupied by the demons, so you still need to take a look." Li Yongsheng said to Chen Li.
Chen Li took the map and took a look at the situation on it, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Just as Li Yongsheng said, those places circled in red had been completely occupied by the demons.
" I didn't expect that so many places would be occupied by the demons." Chen Li said with a frown.
Li Yongsheng nodded, "This is with the help of our two tribes, otherwise half of the Kyushu continent would have fallen."
Chen Li took a deep breath and said, "It seems that there is no way to go back immediately. I have to deal with these places first."
Since the demons have occupied these places, it means that all the demons within the Kyushu continent have gathered together.
As long as we reoccupy these places and kill the demons inside, the internal hidden dangers can be resolved.
"It seems that you are planning to help. Then I suggest you go to Tianhong City first. This place is being invaded by demons, and reinforcements are on the way." Li Yongsheng said to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded. It seemed that these demons were still not honest and actually went to attack Lingxiao Sect’s city.
