After arriving, the various human forces did not attack immediately. They first occupied Maple City, the city closest to Sunset Forest, looted the Song Clan's headquarters there, and then established their base there.

They were waiting for Qin Taiming to hold off the demon king of Sunset Forest before launching a full-scale attack.

Qin Taiming was very clear about their plans, so he was very disdainful. He thought they were a bunch of fools with no strength but inflated ambitions, only capable of doing such petty theft.

"What's going on? It's been quiet for more than ten days."

"Sword Master isn't planning on not coming, is he?"

"By the way, have you seen the people from the Heavenly Evolution Sect? Didn't they set off before us?"

"I didn't see them. Not only the people from Tianyan Sect, but also the people from Medicine Valley have disappeared."

Medicine Valley is the second largest pill-making power in the Qingyang Continent, second only to Medicine Sect. It's highly suspicious that they didn't come to join in this fun.

Qin Xiuyang blended into the crowd; he didn't deliberately try to stand out, so it was difficult for anyone to spot him.

Hearing their discussion, he curled his lips. It seemed that the strength of Sunset Forest was significantly lower than that of the human race. If he didn't help eliminate them, how could he let them both suffer heavy losses?

Qin Taiming did notice the anomaly in Maple City. He found the smell quite repulsive, but he had no interest in paying attention to it or informing these ignorant sects. As long as it didn't affect him, that was fine.

These past few days, he had actually been waiting, waiting for Song Xia and those demon kings to hand over the little Qilin on their own initiative, but these demons were simply too ungrateful.

Then, one day, unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared beside the old tree of Qingyang: "Hand over the Qilin and the inheritance now, and I will not make a move."

Sensing the aura of apprehension, the demon kings instantly became vigilant.

“The little Qilin is not here, but even if it were, we would not give it to you. The inheritance you mentioned, our demon race has not obtained either.”

"Where is Song Xia? I want to see her in person."

"She's not here either."

These two sentences completely enraged Qin Taiming, who felt that the old tree was deliberately ignoring him.

"Since you're not afraid of death, then taste the power of this sword. Old Tree, I didn't use my full strength last time, but this time you can't protect the monsters in this forest."

The old tree in the green sun sighed softly; what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

Qin Taiming's sword energy soared into the sky. He was using the black heavy sword he had obtained in the secret realm. The heavy sword had no edge, but its sword energy pierced through the sky.

"The Sword Master has made his move."

"What powerful sword energy!"

"rush."

"This is our opportunity."

"The demon race's fortunes have run out. They're nothing but beasts. What right do they have to sit on equal footing with us and share the spiritual energy and resources of this continent? They should be kept in captivity."

Qin Xiuyang followed behind with a mocking laugh, "You want to keep the demon race as a captive? I want to keep you all as captives too!"

Let's fight! It would be best if we both suffered heavy losses.

There are over a million cultivators gathered here from the Celestial Race. Most of them are from sects or families, but there are also some independent cultivators who have infiltrated the group hoping to take advantage of the situation.

Almost all the demons above the Golden Core stage in Sunset Forest were mobilized, and many other demons from other places came to support them. Eagle King, Wolf King, White Howl, Ant Queen, Tyrant Flower, and others were fighting on the front line. At this time, the equipment that Song Xia had given them earlier showed its advantage.

In the past, when the demon race fought against the human race, the demon race used their flesh as a shield. But now they also have defensive magical artifacts. Although their claws and wings are still the most convenient for attacking, if there are too many people attacking them, they can just throw out their weapons to destroy them, which can at least delay some of the attacking force.

Then there are pills. Every demon has plenty of Qi-replenishing pills, Qi-nourishing pills, and Yuan-restoring pills. When they run out of energy, they just grab a handful of pills. It's quite luxurious.

The confident humans were stunned. How could these demons be so different? They had become so cunning.

"It must be that Song Family Trading Company. They are despicable. They made so much money off of all those pills and weapons."

"I was wondering why these pills weren't available on the market lately; it turns out they're all here with the demon race."

"What's going on with the Medicine Sect and Medicine Valley? How could they allow this to happen?"

"It's all my fault for being greedy for cheap deals. Song's Trading Company gives away Qi-Nourishing Pills with every purchase, so who would bother to stock up on these things? As a result, all the inventory is with Song's Trading Company."

"Damn it, these ants are so annoying, they hurt so much."

"Watch out, those butterflies are coming. Don't be hallucinating."

Because of their preconceived notions about the demon race, the human race was momentarily careless, allowing the demon race to gain the upper hand.

Xiong Ba's punches swept away a group of cultivators, which was extremely exhilarating. He hadn't fought so freely in a long time.

Seeing this, the high-level human cultivators who had been waiting to make a move could no longer sit still.

"You bear, take this palm strike!"

Xiong Ba kicked away seven or eight cultivators and shouted, "You've come at the perfect time! Today, Old Xiong will beat you into submission so you'll never dare to offend us again."

"What an arrogant tone! I quite like your fur; I'll skin you and use your skin to make a carpet later."

"Then this old man will take this bear paw back to make soup for my great-grandson."

In an instant, three human cultivators at the Mahayana stage surrounded Xiong Ba, but Xiong Ba was not afraid; he was just very angry at the tone of the three men.

He roared into the sky, and the roar even ruptured the eardrums of the cultivators with lower cultivation levels around him.

With these individuals taking action, the other high-level cultivators couldn't sit still any longer, mainly because the casualties on the human side were far more severe than they had imagined.

Among them are three who are at the Tribulation Transcending stage. They are old monsters in the cultivation world. Although their combat power is not as good as Qin Taiming's, they are much older than Qin Taiming. Moreover, all three of them are nearing the end of their lifespan, which is why they came together.

On the Sunset Forest side, apart from the Azure Sun Old Tree, only the Black Flood Dragon, which has just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, is present. It has already grown two claws, and as long as it undergoes the True Immortal Tribulation, it will be able to completely transform from a Flood Dragon into a Dragon.

Although the demon race advances slowly, their combat power is stronger than that of human cultivators of the same level. In addition, with the help of Bai Xiao, the Wolf King, and the Eagle King, the Black Flood Dragon was able to hold off these three human cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage at the same time.

But merely stalling them is not enough; a true victory is virtually impossible.

Although the mid-level strength of the demon race is stronger than that of the human race, there are simply too few top-level experts.

At this time, the situation on Qingyang Old Tree's side was not optimistic either. Qin Taiming had always been the number one combat power on Qingyang Continent, and Qingyang Old Tree could not move, so it was at a great disadvantage in the battle.

The situation quickly changed, and the human race gradually gained the upper hand.

Qin Xiuyang had been observing, waiting for the crucial moment to deliver a decisive blow to both the human and demon races.

At this very moment, Song Xia and Song Luo, who were still in another world, suddenly felt a pang of panic.

"Something must have happened." Cultivators' intuition is the most accurate, and the two lost their will to continue cultivating.

"Mother, let's go back. We should be able to pass the tribulation of the Transcending Tribulation stage." Song Luo felt full of power, and he no longer needed to fear Qin Taiming.
