The army of the Cloud Soaring Sect slowly advanced towards the border.

Suddenly, the faint, intermittent light within the invisible space surrounding this mountain range burst into brightness.

Countless array patterns flashed out in an instant, densely packed, intertwining and outlining from all directions to form a barrier, enveloping a mountain range and forming a solid defensive force.

Within the mountains, countless demonic cultivators stirred, most of them looking flustered and fearful, their formation somewhat chaotic as they began to organize a defense.

Why would they point their swords at us here?

"Shouldn't we be attacking the Sand Mine Spirit Land...?"

"Are these bastards from the Cloud Soaring Sect using a feint attack, or are they besieging a point to ambush reinforcements?"

"Hmph, Brother Wizard will definitely cut off their retreat and rescue us."

One of the female cultivators, dressed in a flamboyant style, had an ordinary appearance but exquisite makeup. She wore a long, sheer white-pink robe, revealing large expanses of her fair skin and perfectly outlining her figure, thus exuding a seductive charm.

She took command from the center, gradually calming the panicked army down so they could begin to form ranks in coordination with the formation masters and fully activate the great formation.

"Instead of attacking the Sand Mine Spirit Land where the wizard brother is located, you've turned your attention here. You must have come... to build a defensive line, or for me?"

Liu Rong watched as the Yunxiao army approached and began to form ranks, gradually building up their offensive momentum.

A strange look flashed in her eyes. "Or perhaps, both?"

Lin Xiuyuan's name had already spread throughout the Southern Continent before the chaos at Fengxia Mountain, with the Great Yue region being the most prominent, followed by the Northwest Demonic Path. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance knew relatively little about him, but those who were interested could find out about it.

Because Lin Xiuyuan defeated Wu Chengfeng, the chief disciple of a major sect, in the Hengyang Secret Realm, it caused quite a stir and sparked much discussion in the Northwest.

Not to mention, when the battle of Fengxia began, although the Yunxiao Sect retreated to its secret realm and made no move at the beginning, Lin Xiuyuan's name became more and more famous every day, spreading throughout Fengxia Mountain and even throughout the entire Dayue region.

She certainly knew that.

For a moment, Liu Rong was slightly stunned, not expecting that Lin Xiuyuan could have reached this point.

She knew Lin Xiuyuan's qualifications perfectly well.

Therefore, out of consideration for past relationships, I let him go and even indirectly helped him protect himself from danger, without expecting anything in return, all to eliminate the karmic debt!

As a wandering cultivator, the path of cultivation is arduous.

Among the disciples of major sects, only one in a hundred has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Not to mention independent cultivators, who are one in a thousand.

Now, Lin Xiuyuan has not only successfully established his foundation, but has also reached the Purple Mansion stage, reaching the perfect realm of the first major level of cultivation!

It is not an ordinary Purple Mansion, but equivalent to the chief seed of a major sect.

Far superior to her.

While her success today is largely due to fortuitous circumstances, it is also partly due to her profound background and the shortcuts of demonic cultivation techniques.

But Lin Xiuyuan... When she first heard this, her heart was filled with turmoil, and she repeatedly wondered if it was someone with the same name.

They paid close attention to this and even used their connections with some intelligence organizations to obtain a portrait of Lin Xiuyuan, which confirmed the information without a doubt.

Liu Rong sighed in amazement, "It seems I'm not the only one with such great fortune and luck. Well, that's good, that's good..."

After several days of adjustments.

Zhong Kangshun personally compiled and deployed the resources.

They were divided into two large armies.

Led by Ge Yun, more than 4,000 cultivators, with Lin Xiuyuan accompanying the army, marched straight to Huoyan Ridge.

Led by Chengmao Second Route Army, more than 4,000 soldiers, with Zhong Kangshun stationed with the army, headed straight for Tieyuan Valley.
