Before Shenmen Pass, a large number of demon soldiers launched a desperate charge against the pass's defensive barrier.

However, the defending soldiers seemed to have been prepared, having activated the city's protective barrier to its peak state an hour in advance.

Despite the relentless bombardment by the demon soldiers, the garrison inside the pass remained calm and composed, responding with unwavering resolve.

Bai Qi looked at the demonic soldiers surging in like a tide under the night sky and simply shook his head silently.

"Activate the Heavenly Demon Holy Seal!"

With Bai Qi's command, a dark totem appeared in the void.

The next second, the moment the totem fell, swarms of demonic soldiers turned to dust.

Fu Yanchao, who was watching from a distance, remained calm and composed despite the scene.

"Pass on my orders: continue the attack in waves, and make sure to capture Shenmen Pass before dawn!"

...

At the same time, inside the Ice and Fire Cave, eight hundred carefully selected soldiers from the Demon Breath entered.

They attempted to bypass this land of death, bypass Tianqing Gorge, and launch a surprise attack to decisively end the battle.

However, the extreme duality of the Ice and Fire Cave made these demon soldiers suffer greatly.

It's hot on the left and cold on the right. If you take a slightly off-center route, you'll either freeze to death or burn to death.

Before they had even covered half the distance, seven hundred of the eight hundred carefully selected demonic cultivators had already perished in this extreme terrain.

The remaining cultivators wanted to quickly return to defend, but unfortunately, it was easy to enter but difficult to leave.

Soon they became nourishment for the Ice and Fire Cave, and were gradually devoured by a mysterious force.

Seeing that there was no movement inside the Ice and Fire Cave, the eight hundred people who were in reserve all turned their attention to Jiang Haitian, who was playing with the Demon Pearl.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Jiang Haitian said impatiently, "You bunch of useless trash, what are you looking at me for? Get in there and take over!"

"Vice Commander Jiang, those eight hundred brothers are probably already dead. I tried to contact them with a communication talisman, but they didn't respond at all."

"What does that have to do with me? This strategy was devised by the great President Fu. I, a mere vice president, can't make such a big decision!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became anxious: "Vice Commander Jiang, you can't do this! We're not afraid of death, but we can't just throw our lives away in vain, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haitian looked helpless: "That's true, but military orders are like mountains, and I can't disobey them, can I?"

"Alright then, as long as you're willing to call me 'Father,' I'll help you sort this out."

"Dad~"

The next moment, eight hundred cultivators at the Selfless Realm knelt before Jiang Haitian and publicly acknowledged him as their father.

When it comes to things like recognizing a father, the environment in the game is much more open.

As long as I can survive, I don't care if you call me dad, or even ancestor, or even if I send my own wife to you to ride.

Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Jiang Haitian smiled with satisfaction.

"Take it."

Jiang Haitian waved his hand and threw down a pile of protective talismans.

"This is a water and fire impervious talisman. Once inside, tearing it apart will allow you to resist both hot and cold energies for twelve hours. As for what you do after you enter, that's not my business."

"Thank you, Dad!"

The eight hundred cultivators immediately accepted the talismans with delight and then quickly entered the Ice and Fire Cave.

Now, only Jiang Haitian and his ghost carriage remain outside the Ice and Fire Cave.

After confirming that everyone had disappeared, he slowly took out a sound transmission stone.

"Useless trash, do as I told you yesterday and get to the Ice and Fire Cave right now."

After saying that, he smashed the sound transmission stone and casually tossed it behind him.

...

From the direction of Tianqing Gorge, Yue Beiqing looked up at Motian Cliff, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"It's time to wrap things up. After tomorrow, the Demon Realm will belong to me, Yue Beiqing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Beiqing quickly transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the Sky-Piercing Cliff.

...

At Motian Cliff, above the Eternal Night River, Yu Xiyan was implanted with the Ten Thousand Dao Slave Mark by Lin Xian'er.

In an instant, the Myriad Dao Slave Seals were imprinted into the depths of the soul, and began to take root and sprout in a moment.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean fell from Yu Xiyan's forehead, as if she was struggling to resist the slave mark eroding her consciousness.

"It's no use, Yu Xiyan. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually become my servant! It was the same in my past life, and it will be the same in this life, hahaha..."

Lin Xian'er smiled brightly, as if she could see Yu Xiyan groveling before her like a dog, completely subservient to her.

"In this life, without Shen Zhao, let's see who else can save you!"

Yu Xiyan was utterly exhausted and knelt on the edge of the cliff.

Lin Xian'er turned to look in the direction of Shenmen Pass, where the sounds of battle were deafening, and the war had completely reached its climax.

"Guess who the final winner will be? Yu Xiyan!"

Lin Xian'er seemed to have victory in her grasp, and everything was under control.

Suddenly, a beam of imperial light descended from mid-air and stopped right next to Lin Xian'er.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing Yue Beiqing, Lin Xian'er obediently knelt down, her face filled with admiration and charm.

Yue Beiqing ignored Lin Xian'er and just quietly looked at Yu Xiyan, who was slumped on the ground.

"You won her over?"

"Yes, I promised Your Majesty that I would make sure you get Yu Xiyan, so how could I go back on my word?"

"snort!"

Yue Beiqing turned around and looked in the direction of the Ice and Fire Cave.

"Everyone's inside?"

"Yes, an hour ago, the most elite troops of the Demon Breath had all entered the Ice and Fire Cave, waiting for the Holy Lord to finally decide their fate."

"very good!"

Yue Beiqing flicked his cloak and clenched his tiger fist.

"Although things happened an hour earlier than expected, fortunately everything is still going according to plan."
