Chapter 1423: Mutual Calculation

The group of monsters was overwhelming and came with great momentum.

Although many monks came from various human sects, they were far behind this demonic tide.

The difference is that monks' spells are unpredictable, while monsters only have demon power but no spiritual intelligence. At the same level, monks can kill one or two with one hand.

Therefore, this resistance was not as one-sided as imagined. Although the human monks seemed to be smaller in number, they were evenly matched with the monster tide in real terms.

In a hidden mountain peak, Zhang Wuchen looked down at the fierce battle below with his hands behind his hands, a faint smile on his lips.

"Senior Brother Zhang, now that the demon tide has arrived, will we show up to help the outer disciples repel the demons?" said a disciple.

The other inner disciples also had their eyes focused, always watching the changes in the demon tide.

"No need, now is just the beginning, the real show has not yet begun."

Zhang Wuchen turned his eyes to the side and said, "Junior Sister Gu, are you sure there will be some changes in this demon tide?"

Gu Qian, dressed in white like snow, stood facing the wind.

Standing there, she was like an immortal from the Nine Heavens, not eating the fireworks of the world.

After listening to Zhang Wuchen's question, she did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before saying quietly: "Yes, I did receive news from the monster clan a few days ago that a first-level and upper-level monster will appear this time, and this time The sub-monster tide is not as simple as it seems.”

"Oh?" Zhang Wuchen said, "What exactly did Junior Sister find out?"

Gu Qian shook his head slightly.

For many years, she has been monitoring the movements of the demon clan under the orders of Master Haode, especially focusing on Tianxuan Mountain. After obtaining the Qingchen Sword a few years ago, she helped the sect repair the seal and made great achievements.

She has been here for many years and has an incomparable understanding of the demon clan's intelligence.

But this time, except for the vague news that an upper-level monster would appear, nothing else was found.

This made Gu Qian feel vaguely that something was wrong.

"Junior sister may be overly concerned." Zhang Wuchen said: "The demon tides have always been low-level demon beasts, and their spiritual intelligence has not been activated, so what kind of conspiracy can they have? Besides, our deployment this time is complete. We first use the outer disciples as bait, and those If the first-level upper-level monster does not appear, if it does appear here, we can easily destroy it with our combined strength."

Although this statement was somewhat conceited, no one refuted it.

The lowest level among them is also the Daoji Realm. They practice high-level techniques from the inner sect, and all kinds of magic weapons are far superior to those from the outer sect. Monsters of the same level can fight one against two without losing.

What's more, there are two talented men, Zhang Wuchen and Gu Qian. Looking at Zhongzhou, there are only a handful of young talents who can compete with them. Even if a first-level upper-level monster really appears, what's the point of fear?

Gu Qian frowned lightly and didn't say much.

Qing Chen was sitting next to her on the cliff, kicking his legs and looking bored.

…

And shortly after the demon tide broke out, in a dense forest not far from Zhang Wuchen and others, a slender young man was also watching with cold eyes.

This person is Yuan Yuan.

"Sister Yu, do you really want to go?"

On the other side, Guan Ruoruo looked at Lin Yu with a worried expression.

"Yes." Lin Yu said firmly.

"But this demon tide may not be as simple as you and I thought." Guan Ruoruo advised.

"This is the only chance to enter the inner gate, and I won't give up." Lin Yu looked at Guan Ruoruo with firm eyes.

She knew that with Guan Ruoruo's identity as an inner sect, she could safely stay in Kunlun Ruins to practice, but this was definitely not what Lin Yu wanted.

After saying that, she smiled at Guan Ruoruo, gave Yuan Yuan a gentle bow, and left resolutely without another word.

"You are not overestimating your own capabilities." Yuan Yuan sneered: "I have given her a chance to live. Since she is seeking death on her own, don't blame me for not warning her."

"Junior sister, let's go. On the surface, this demon wave is to resist the invasion of the demon clan. In fact, it is a test of Gu Qian and Zhang Wuchen by the two elders. It has nothing to do with us. There is no need to wade through this muddy water."

Without waiting for Guan Ruoruo to speak, he suddenly picked up the other person and flew away into the distance.

Guan Ruoruo looked sad and angry, but in the end he had no choice but to do it.

At the same time, dozens of miles away, in a valley filled with evil spirits, King Kui stood behind the three-headed snake with his head bowed.

"Senior, now those human monks have been attracted by us out of the city. Do we need to adopt the original plan to lead them to the True Demon Valley?"

Listening to the loud rumbling sound in the sky, King Kui spoke.

"Don't be impatient. The demon tide has just begun. If something unexpected happens at this time, human beings will definitely become suspicious due to their cunning, and they may not be fooled by then." The three-headed snake said.

"But if this fierce battle continues, we will suffer a lot of losses." King Kui said.

"So what, the demonic tide is just some low-level demonic beasts. Although they are of the same kind as us, their cultivation level cannot be improved. They are no different from ordinary wild beasts. There is no pity if they die." The three-headed snake said calmly.

King Kui fell silent.

The three-headed snake said: "The time has not come yet. Let the demon tide become more intense, and those humans will be unsuspecting, and they will naturally fall into the trap."

"yes!"

…

Outside Xiuxian City.

The fierce battle was in full swing.

There was an endless supply of monsters, and even though one wave was killed, another wave soon came.

It was only in its infancy before, but now a lower-level monster has appeared.

However, these were not enough for Ye Chunyang, and he was too lazy to take action, so he just asked Xiaobao to raise his hand and kill him.

Bai Feng Ye Yao was on both sides of him.

The two of them had no trouble dealing with these low-level monsters. Ye Yao was so powerful that any monsters that came close to him were punched into pieces. Bai Feng waved his white paper fan lightly, and even the inexhaustible talismans in the past were used. Don't bother to use it anymore.

In this way, the four of them soon fought their way through the demon group.

Of course, Ye Chunyang's purpose was just to enter the inner gate, and he had no intention of actually fighting.

Sudden.

There was a hum in the distance.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge shadow shrouding them. They were strange birds with sharp teeth and claws, covering half of the sky and instantly surrounding all human factions.

"No, these demon birds have all reached the first-intermediate level!"

someone exclaimed.

Everyone also clearly noticed that the cultivation aura of these monster birds was far stronger than that of the monster beasts that had just attacked, and they suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The strength of the first-level mid-level monsters is not inferior to that of Daoji Realm Dacheng, and there are so many of them that it will be difficult to escape once they are surrounded.

However, each faction did not take it easy. They immediately dispersed and adopted various methods to break through.

Those monster birds were so ferocious that they brought up pieces of blood mist wherever they passed. Some monks with lower cultivation levels were torn into pieces on the spot, but most of them still fought with their magical powers.

Ye Chunyang looked up, the expression on his face did not change, and he still let Xiaobao lead the way.

But then something unexpected happened.

After attacking for a while, those demon birds suddenly flew away in all directions. After roaring a few times, the demon birds on the ground retreated in unison, as if they were planning to give up the attack.

The human monks were shocked by this, but many of them were jealous, and driven by the interests of joining the core of their respective forces, they chased the monsters one after another.

"The demon tide seems to have receded." Bai Feng said.

Ye Chunyang frowned. The demonic tide was coming fiercely, but it suddenly receded, which was a bit abnormal.

"Don't worry about it, let's go back to the city."

After saying that, Ye Chunyang was about to return to Xiuxian City.

He had no interest in knowing why the demon tide dispersed strangely. For him, all he needed to do was complete this mission.

"Um?"

Just when he was about to move, he suddenly looked back at Ye Yao.

"Dad, I feel like there's something attracting me around here." Ye Yao stood there blankly.

After saying this, she flew away in a certain direction without saying a word.

"Little witch, where are you going?"

Bai Feng was surprised.

Ye Chunyang looked surprised and immediately chased Ye Yao with Xiaobao.

Bai Feng's face was full of weirdness, but he didn't show any hesitation.

Zhang Wuchen and other inner disciples who were watching secretly were also deeply surprised by this.

"Senior brother, the demon tide suddenly receded, will something happen?" Zhang Wuchen's confidant asked.

Gu Qian and Zhang Wuchen stood in front, neither of them speaking.

"If you want to know what's going on, just catch up and take a look." Qingchen said casually, kicking a pair of white and tender legs.

"Walk."

Gu Qian didn't say anything, and then disappeared with a flash of green rainbow on his body.

Zhang Wuchen frowned deeply, waved to the inner disciples, and then quickly rushed out of the mountain.

The masters from various factions who were hiding in the dark were also looking at each other in disbelief, but they quickly pursued him in unison.

…

"Senior, the human race has fallen into a trap."

In the valley filled with evil spirits, King Kui returned from inquiring about the news and reported to the three-headed snake.

"Everything is as expected." The three-headed snake looked up at the sky and laughed coldly: "Now is when the real show begins."

He turned back to King Kui and asked, "Isn't it time that the Yuan Devouring Beast has woken up now?"

"Yes! This junior has already detected it clearly. It is the time when the Yuan Devouring Beast wakes up and eats. Those human monks have also been led to the vicinity of the True Demon Valley." King Kui said.

The three-headed snake smiled coldly upon hearing this.

"Let's go and see how this show plays out."

…

The group of demons retreated all the way and quickly exited the Xiuxian City plain.

Under the relentless pursuit of various human factions, less than one-third of the group of demons remained.

Although their numbers were far outnumbered by the demon tide, they killed the demons in a frightened manner. It was obvious that the monks from each sect were also powerful people.

Unconsciously, the group of monsters retreated into a dark valley.

There was heavy moisture in the valley, and a cold feeling hit them as they approached. However, the people who were eager to do their best did not care about it. When they saw the group of demons retreating into the valley, they immediately pursued them.

However, the strange thing is that just after the demon tide entered the valley, it gradually lost its sound.

Everything seemed to have never happened before, and all the monsters disappeared instantly without any trace.

Everyone looked stunned.

At this time, Ye Yao stepped on the Qinghuang Sword and turned into a ray of green light falling down, looking at the valley in front of him in surprise.

Ye Chunyang and Bai Feng also rushed over.

"Yao'er, what's going on?" Ye Chunyang asked.

"I don't know, I always feel like there's something here that's attracting me." Ye Yao shook her head blankly.
