He is a highly revered monk who has undergone numerous reincarnations and arduous cultivation throughout his lives. She is a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, one of the ancient mythical beas...
The light emanating from the horizon drew everyone in, but unlike the many other extraordinary treasures that had appeared before, this time the light showed no signs of dissipating even after they had been there for so long, which was truly strange.
The crowd waited for a long time, but the ancient sword in the ball of light did not appear. Some people couldn't wait and flew straight into the air. However, the light emitted by the ball of light was exceptionally sharp. After they reached the area within a hundred feet of the ball of light, they could no longer go any further.
Helpless, the hundred or so people from the Buddhist, demonic, and Taoist factions had no choice but to land. By then, the people on the Zhulu Plain had already resumed fighting, and they all joined the battle after landing.
More than a hundred people who had flown into the air were unable to get close to the ball of light and had no choice but to land. Liuli then withdrew her gaze from the ball of light. She reached out and looked at the storage ring on her finger, her expression thoughtful.
The great battle on the Zhuolu Plain continued, the sounds of fighting shaking the heavens and the earth. Limbs and blood were scattered everywhere, staining the dark red ground of the Zhuolu Plain even deeper.
Liuli coldly watched the tragic scene until it grew darker and darker, and night had fallen.
Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky, but the battle on the Battle of Zhuolu Plain showed no signs of abating. Perhaps the deep-seated hostility of this ancient battlefield had permeated people's hearts.
Dense clouds obscured the moonlight, plunging the area into darkness. Fortunately, the dazzling array of lights amidst the chaos of battle illuminated the entire Battleground.
Time passed slowly, and a great battle between good and evil lasted all night. Light snow fell all night and continued until dawn, and even intensified, turning the mountains around Zhuolu Plain white.
At that moment, Liuli was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and Lingxi was curled up beside her, fast asleep. A black light curtain enveloped them, blocking out all the snow, so the small area where they were sitting was the only place not covered by snow.
Now, the chaotic battle that had lasted for a day and a night finally showed signs of abating. The righteous path, due to the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, had failed to cooperate, resulting in heavy casualties and the deaths of many outstanding young disciples. On the other hand, the demonic forces, with their formidable armor and the powerful divine beast youth, suffered far fewer casualties.
Under these circumstances, the leaders of the righteous sects finally ordered a retreat.
So the righteous disciples began to retreat in an orderly manner. Shi Chan followed the Bodhi Temple disciples and also withdrew from the battle. He glanced at Liuli from afar in the air and left with many Bodhi Temple disciples.
Although the demons suffered few casualties, they were exhausted after fighting for a day and a night. Under Li Molin's orders, they did not pursue the righteous disciples, but instead began to clean up the battlefield and search for complete Golden Core cultivators or relics. They appeared extremely busy.
After giving his instructions, Li Molin went straight to Liuli's side. Liuli looked up at him and saw that he only looked a little tired, but there wasn't a single drop of blood on his body.
In reality, Li Molin did not make a move; he merely commanded the Xuanjia Army from above the battlefield, so he was neither injured nor stained with anyone else's blood.
Li Molin came to Liuli's side and stepped into the snow outside the light screen, sinking an inch deep.
Liuli looked up at him and asked calmly, "Should we leave?"
Li Molin nodded, looked up at the ball of light, and said, "Let's retreat for now. It's been four days, and the ball of light hasn't changed at all. Both the Buddhist and Taoist people have left, and we can't waste all our time here. Let's just leave a few people here to guard it."
"Okay." Liuli nodded in agreement.
Half an hour later, the Xuanjia Army and the divine beast youth had all benefited from the battlefield. At Li Molin and Liuli's command, everyone except for a centurion with a hundred or so Xuanjia Army soldiers who were waiting there left.
Not long after the demons left, dozens of righteous disciples who had not participated in the battle between the righteous and demonic factions on the Zhuolu Plain arrived. They were outstanding disciples sent by various righteous sects to guard the Zhuolu Plain and observe the changes in the light cluster in the sky. The strange treasure that resembled the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword was too important for the three sides of the righteous and demonic factions to ignore.
So the hundred-plus demons and dozens of disciples from the Buddhist and Taoist factions each found a place to settle down on the mountaintop next to the Deer Chasing Plain. Besides taking strict precautions against sneak attacks from the other two factions, they carefully watched the changes in the ball of light in the sky.
But day after day passed, and the ball of light remained unchanged.
