(I came back late from working overtime today, I will post it first and fix it later)

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

The other end of the abyss on the south bank of Huanling Sect.

Black mist piles up here, and the atmosphere is like a ghost, gloomy and hazy.

The scenes or characters in it were completely covered by thick black fog, making it impossible for others to see clearly.

Just then.

An extremely angry and shrill voice suddenly erupted from the layers of black mist.

The fog was suddenly stirred up and rolled around, creating a big scene.

After a while, the roar suddenly stopped, and the black mist returned to stability.

"Soul Lord, what happened?" Immediately afterwards, a rumbling voice sounded.

"My soul has died."

"Dead?" The rumbling voice seemed extremely surprised, and he quickly asked: "Which soul is it?"

"Xuanwu." The voice of the man known as Soul Lord gradually returned to calmness.

"Necessary sacrifices are always inevitable. Besides, among the three souls of your soul master, the soul of Xuanwu Lord is not that important." The owner of another voice said with a smile.

"Yu Zun, you!" Hun Zun's voice that had just calmed down spoke up again.

These words were exactly what the Soul Master used to "comfort" Yu Zun after the death of Lord Suzaku, one of Yu Zun's three souls at Longcheng Pass.

It's said to be comforting, but it's actually more of a sarcasm.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

Yu Zun had been feeling very unhappy because one of his three souls was lost in the Dragon City Pass. Now that he saw that one of his souls had also been lost, Yu Zun suddenly felt much better.

It's one thing to feel good, but he also understands the priorities of things, so he quickly understood the situation, "How did Xuanwu die and who killed him?"

"If I remember correctly, didn't your Xuanwu soul go to the Yishui Platform of the Sword Sect to destroy the Sword Sect's cross-domain teleportation array?"

"According to the report, isn't the person guarding the Yishui Tower of Jian Zong the sword master Taibai of Jian Zong? How could he have the ability to kill you?"

Soul Lord was silent for a moment, and then his hoarse voice sounded, "I don't know either."

"But according to the soul recovery display, it was indeed the Taibai Sword Master who killed me."

"There is an extremely strange and strange power on his sword. With the strength of Xuanwu's soul, it is completely irresistible."

Yu Zun in the black mist frowned and fell into deep thought.

"The Peak Master of Sword Sect is really not that simple..." After a long time, Yu Zun took a long breath and said quietly.

"Peak Master Haoran is ranked at the bottom among the seven peak masters of the Sword Sect. He has only recently broken through to the Tribulation Realm. His cultivation level is now only the Four Tribulations Realm. But even so, he is capable of killing

Are you a soul?" He was still a little unbelievable, "No matter how weak Xuanwu is, it is still the strength of a monk in the title realm."

Yu Zun has been in charge of the Huanling Sect for so many years, so he naturally knows that among the human race, at the top level of strength, the Sword Sect is the strongest.

But he never expected that a sword cultivator who had just broken through to the Four Tribulations Realm would be able to transcend the level and defeat the Master Realm monks.

Even the Sword Immortal cannot do this in the Four Tribulations Realm, right?

You must know that the peak masters of the Sword Sect who are able to transcend levels and defeat the Demon Lord have at least started at the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

This is the basis.

Without this level of cultivation, it would be difficult to counterattack no matter how skilled you are in swordsmanship.

Why was Li Qiubai able to defeat Emperor Wu in a row with his Eighth Realm cultivation level?

In addition to his superb swordsmanship, even if he fell from the Sword Immortal Realm to the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, he still had the terrifying cultivation base of the Eight Tribulations as a basis.

So, what is the reason for Peak Master Haoran?

Both Hun Zun and Yu Zun have a hard time figuring it out.

"This third-generation sword cultivator is indeed extraordinary," Soul Lord murmured, "There must be something mysterious in it that we don't know about."

Peak Master Haoran's third life is not a big secret in front of high-level monks like them from Dao Sect.

"Then what should we do now?" Yu Zun's eyes flashed, "There was news from Bing Mo not long ago that the Jian Sect has made up its mind and is preparing to mobilize most of the sect's strength to march westward to Zhongling."

"These sword madmen!" Soul Lord cursed hatefully, and then solemnly said: "Although the sword sect is strong, it is just a fantasy to suppress one clan by one sect."

"Not to mention, Qingyun Sword Immortal still stays at Yumen Pass," he sneered, "In this case, the Sword Sect has nothing to fear."

"Except Qingyun Sword Immortal, although the remaining peak masters are equally extraordinary, as long as they have not become Sword Immortal, they are nothing more than fish meat for us to knead in front of the remaining two souls of you and me, so what do we have to fear?

"

The two sovereigns of the Inner Demon Clan were talking animatedly to each other.

"That's what I said, but if the Sword Sect's cross-domain teleportation array can be destroyed in time, we don't need to worry about this trouble." Yu Zun said with great regret.

"Accidents are always inevitable," Soul Lord was extremely indifferent and continued: "We have given Jianzong enough attention. First, Heimang used the soul of Zhuzhao to break the formation. After he failed, I even sent Xuanwu to

We sent out the souls, but even so, they failed to win this formation, so it can only be said to be God’s will.”

"Our battle with Jian Zong seems to be destined."

"Huan Ling has wanted to take the name of the strongest Taoist sect of Jianzong for thousands of years, but it has always been difficult to succeed," Soul Lord smiled sternly, "Then this time, we will directly remove Jianzong from the name, and treat it as a round

Huanling’s Dream.”

Yu Zun was also full of expectations, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice, "The other four domains have all given up, but the Sword Sect insists on going its own way and becoming a lone hero."

"This time, let Jian Zong know that a lonely hero is not so mighty."

"As for Jian Zong's cross-domain teleportation array," Soul Lord paused, "Anyway, except for Jian Zong, other human forces are unwilling to support Zhongling as we guessed, so how can this teleportation array be released?

The difference is not big, so let’s put this matter on the back burner first.”

Destroying all cross-domain teleportation formations was, in their expectation, a surefire and guaranteed move. Even if there were some mistakes, the impact would not be too great.

Besides, except for the teleportation circle at Yishui Terrace, there is no longer any teleportation circle above Zhongling. It can be considered that the expected plan has been basically completed.

Of course, the most important thing is that their demon army in the Infernal Realm is now advancing eastward in the western area of ​​​​Zhongling.

Yishui Terrace, however, is located in the northern area of ​​Zhongling.

There are thousands of miles between the two.

It is obviously unlikely to lead an army of demons to push down Yishui Tower.

"The human race is gathering towards the Changye Mountains, preparing to build a new city gate there to stop our army." Yu Zun said again.

The Changye Mountain Range is a natural moat that stretches between the east and west of Zhongling. It is a natural city wall shaped like a corridor.

The human race divides the east and west parts of Zhongling with this mountain range as the boundary.

To the east of the Evernight Mountains is the eastern region of Zhongling.

"A new grand pass cannot be built in a short time. Besides, there is no Xia Daozu to build a divine formation for the human race this time."

"How can a city gate without a divine formation stop us?" Soul Lord is extremely confident in the strength of the Infernal Realm demon clan. "No matter how tall and strong it looks, it is nothing more than a paper tiger. It will fall down if it is blown."

"But once the Xiongguan is built, it will definitely delay our steps to seize souls and increase our losses." Yu Zun said solemnly.

"Our army is too large and cannot move easily, so it is difficult to conduct a quick attack. Coupled with the monster beasts accumulated by the Huanling Sect for thousands of years, the number will only become larger and it will be difficult to coordinate.

If we continue like this, it will take at least three months to reach the Changye Mountains."

"In three months, the human race will be able to build a strong enough city gate between the Evernight Mountains."

"We might as well divide our troops, dedicate part of our strength, and ride straight to the Changye Mountains. Even if we cannot directly destroy the human monks gathered there at the moment, we can at least interfere with their construction of the city."

"Then what? Our original overall strength was good at crushing the human race, but once we forcefully split our strength into two parts, the human race would have nothing to do with us." Soul Lord objected.

Although their Wujian domain strength is extremely powerful compared to Zhongling, they still have some scruples.

First of all, the second Dao Demon War has not yet begun, and Wujian Domain is the first to launch the battle to seize the soul.

At this time, the other seven regions are in the "idle and idle" stage, which means that while the Heart Demon Clan has invested a large number of manpower in the front line, the rear must guard against the "stealing" of the other seven Saint Demon Clan.

There is only cruelty among demons, only cold-bloodedness.

If they are really completely undefended against the Infernal Realm, then it is almost inevitable that the other seven demon clans will take action against the Infinite Realm.

When the time comes, even the warrior demons and giant spirits who have reached a cooperation agreement with their inner demon clan will not give up this opportunity to take advantage of it.

For the other seven holy and demon clans, this is equivalent to giving them a territory for free.

If God does not take it, you must suffer the consequences.

The so-called Infinite Realm is at war with the human race, and the possibility of not holding back the demon race is too naive.

In the abyss, profit always comes first.

Childish people will not be able to survive, not to mention in the abyss, even in the sky.

Therefore, taking this into consideration, Soul Master and Control Master must leave 50% of their manpower behind in the Infinite Realm.

In the battle of Longcheng Pass, although the demons achieved brilliant results and defeated the most powerful group of monks in Zhongling overnight, they did not suffer losses.
