Chapter 310 Demon Tribe’s Conspiracy

The headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance is located in a hidden mountain in Lingtian Domain, surrounded by dense forests and fog, making it difficult for outsiders to find it. As the highest decision-making body in the Loose Cultivator Organization, it brings together representatives of Loose Cultivators from all over the continent, each of whom is a veteran with a deep mind and a long history of battles.

Today, the atmosphere in the hall of the alliance was extremely tense. Although they were in the depths of the distant mountains, the news from the Northern Province made everyone feel uneasy. The reappearance of the demons would not only be a disaster for the continent, but it could also change the pattern of the entire world.

"The demons are no longer the shadows of legends. They have already started to act." An elder in the alliance said coldly, his eyes flashing with sharp light. "The massacre in Tianshuang City and the disappearances in other places have proved this."

"The demons' previous attack methods were violent and direct, but this time they are more covert." Another elder frowned in thought, "They know very well that the continent is no longer as fragile as it was a thousand years ago. The power of the righteous cultivators is strong, and the major sects and families are also on alert. So, they changed their strategy and adopted extremely insidious means."

"I'm afraid this spiritual mine incident is more than just a simple battle for resources." A middle-aged man's low voice sounded in the hall, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "According to reliable intelligence, the minions of the demon clan have infiltrated the vicinity of the spiritual mine, using the bait of resources to attract monks to come, and thus launch an unprecedented hunt."

"You mean..." An elderly elder raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing the weirdness of this, "The demons want to use the spiritual mine to attract cultivators and then capture them all in one fell swoop? Their goal is to gather enough cultivators and take the opportunity to wipe out us casual cultivators in one fell swoop?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded. "The news of the spiritual mine has been deliberately released, attracting a large number of cultivators. Moreover, the spiritual energy contained in this spiritual mine is extremely rich, and most people don't know that the power of the demons is hidden in the mine caves under the spiritual mine."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged man.

"The demon clan's strategy this time is too cunning." A young cultivator's eyes flashed with shock. "They did not directly capture the city or the sect, but chose to attack from the corners of these cultivators. The temptation of the spiritual mine is irresistible to us, and their real purpose is to make us fall into their trap."

"The demon clan's goal is very clear." An old man in a black robe said in a low, hoarse voice, "They can quickly absorb the power of the eliminated cultivators through the demon clan's blood and demonic energy and expand their own army. Because of this, we in the Loose Cultivator Alliance must not underestimate this."

"Then what should we do?" a young cultivator asked anxiously, "The demons have already quietly set up a trap, how should we deal with it?"

"The first step is to not let the demons succeed." The leader of the alliance, a gray-haired old man, spoke slowly, his voice low and firm, "We must take the lead, expose the demons' conspiracy, warn those monks who are heading to the spirit mine, and disrupt the demons' plan."

"But how can we confirm whether there are really demons in the spiritual mine?" A voice came from the corner of the hall, and everyone turned to look at a young-looking cultivator. She was an intelligence officer of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and was good at collecting all kinds of information and spying missions.

"We have confirmed several clues." She said softly, "An unknown black aura appeared on the veins around the spiritual mine. This aura is very similar to the demonic aura of the demons. Moreover, many monks who explored near the spiritual mine disappeared without a trace."

"This means that the demon clan's plan has already begun." A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the leader. "If we don't take action in time, the monks who go there may become prey to the demon clan."

"But how can we avoid this disaster? The temptation of the spiritual mine is too great." A middle-aged casual cultivator was worried, "Especially for those casual cultivators who have not joined a sect, the resources in the spiritual mine are almost an irresistible temptation."

"Indeed." The old man in black robe sighed deeply, "However, this conspiracy has been exposed. We must use the power of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to warn the cultivators of the entire continent. The news of the spiritual mine must be blocked immediately. At the same time, we must launch an investigation and find any clues of the demon clan as soon as possible."

"But the problem is..." the young cultivator spoke again, "How can we quickly organize enough forces to uncover the truth and stop more cultivators from going to the spiritual mine? The demons have obviously infiltrated."

"I already have a plan for this problem." The leader of the alliance nodded and said slowly, "We must quickly gather our forces and organize a small elite force in a short period of time to go directly to the vicinity of the spiritual mine for exploration. At the same time, I will send spies and agents to pass on warnings to those monks who are on the way or have already arrived at the spiritual mine."

“We also need to let all the major sects and families know about the crisis of the spiritual mine as soon as possible.” The black-robed old man added, “Although they have always been unfriendly to independent cultivators, in order to deal with the threat of the demons, they should temporarily put aside their prejudices.”

"Yes." The leader nodded slightly, "Except for ourselves, the cultivators of other forces must be vigilant. We cannot rely solely on the strength of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We must unite with other forces as soon as possible."

All the casual cultivators present knew that the crisis of the spiritual mine was not just a simple resource competition, but the first carefully planned hunt after the reappearance of the demons. Faced with such a huge threat, they had no time to waste, and every decision was related to the future of the entire continent.

"We must take the lead and stop the demons from taking further action." The leader of the alliance said in a deep voice, "Everyone, act separately and hurry up."

Following the leader's orders, the members of the Loose Cultivators Alliance quickly dispersed and prepared to carry out their respective tasks. Although the alliance's power was not as strong as that of the major sects, they had a strong intelligence network and flexible action. In this dangerous struggle, the wit and courage of the loose cultivators might be the key to turning the tide.

But no matter what, this battle for survival has quietly begun. The shadow of the demons lingers over the continent, and all this is just the beginning.

Since the news of the reappearance of the demons came, Ye Fan has been deeply alert and determined. The rise of the demons not only means disaster for the continent, but also may become an opportunity for his revenge. His hatred for the Blood Demon Sect forced him to find a force that can deal with stronger enemies in this turbulent continent. In order to be invincible in the upcoming conflict, Ye Fan decided to start practicing a set of skills and martial arts specifically for the demons.

In the secret cultivation cave of Lingtian Domain, Ye Fan meditated quietly, and the spiritual energy in his body flowed, constantly colliding with the demonic energy between heaven and earth. He knew very well that the demons were different from ordinary cultivators. The demonic energy flowing in their bodies was extremely fierce and corrosive, which was directly contrary to the spiritual energy. If he did not master the special power to deal with it, it would be difficult to resist with ordinary cultivation alone.

After some research, Ye Fan obtained a technique called "Nine Demon Killing Techniques". This is a set of martial arts from ancient traditions, specially designed for the power of the demons, which can effectively penetrate the demons' tyrannical defense and weaken the erosion of demonic energy. The core of this technique is to "reverse the demons and seize their energy". By converting the demonic energy into one's own use, and then using the power of breaking through the air, with the help of the weapons in the palm of the hand or the power of the fists and feet, a fatal attack on the demons is launched.

Ye Fan closed his eyes and silently recited the formula, and a cold breath surged in his body. His spiritual energy continued to merge into the demonic energy, turning into a pure black and white airflow. With each move, the air around him seemed to become heavier, and a heart-pounding sense of oppression permeated the air.

"Demon Killing Style: Soul-breaking Sky!" Ye Fan shouted, and the long sword in his hand cut through the air, and the sword energy slashed forward like a sharp blade. The sword was fierce and swift as lightning, instantly penetrating the hardness of the rock wall.

Then, he performed the second move "Demon Blood Annihilation". The uniqueness of this martial arts is that it can instantly solidify and purify the demonic energy in the enemy's body, just like freezing the world. After an extreme operation, a strong energy wave burst out from Ye Fan's body. The energy made the demonic energy in his body linger continuously, enhancing the power of the sword energy, as if it could destroy everything.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. Although each move in the "Nine Demon Killing Moves" was extremely lethal, each use required a great deal of mental and spiritual energy consumption. In order to be able to deal with the demons calmly, he knew that he needed to master this skill more skillfully, especially when fighting against powerful demons. Whether he could quickly display perfect fighting skills determined whether he could gain the upper hand.

Continuous practice and tempering made Ye Fan's aura more stable, and his eyes were full of confidence. Although the threat of the demons was huge, he would not back down. The erosion of the demonic energy would eventually be broken by his determination and strength.
