Lihua was just stunned, but the five sects of Yeoncheon outside were shocked.

Xu Ji, the Grand Elder of the Taize Sect, stood up suddenly and looked at the place where Hong Houzhi's body had exploded. He was deeply shocked and asked, "What kind of magic weapon is that?"

Liu He, the Grand Elder of Shanghua Sect, said in a serious tone, "I don't know, but it's definitely a mid-grade or higher immortal treasure, otherwise it would be impossible to kill a Xuanxian realm cultivator in an instant."

Yuan Xiao Sect's Grand Elder Fang Ze asked, "Did you all see clearly how that magic weapon attacked?"

Li Shuang, the Grand Elder of the Liuling Sect, said, "It seems like a prismatic object was released, which directly blew up Elder Hong Houzhi's body and soul."

The elders were silent for a moment. Finally, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sacrifice Sect, Quan Shangyan, said, "Did you hear what that person said? He wants to challenge the 'Celestial Immortal'?"

The other four elders looked at Quan Shang, and Fang Ze said in surprise, "Elder Quan Shang, are you saying...?"

"His original target was us, but Elder Hong Houzhi went into battle first and was subsequently killed by that magic weapon." Quan Shang said this, his eyes fixed, "This shows that the magic weapon has no defensive power and can only kill unprepared cultivators of higher realms by surprise! So that person could have continued to challenge after killing Elder Hong Houzhi, but he returned to the defensive formation."

As Quan Shang finished speaking, the four elders suddenly realized, "He wants to sneak attack and trick us!"

"That's right." Li Shuang nodded and said, "That's definitely the case. That magic weapon can only attack cultivators by surprise. If they are prepared, it will be difficult to kill them."

The five great elders of the five sects of Lianchuan are still quite capable. They can see the shortcomings of the Huaguang Treasure Cannon from Ao Ji's reaction.

But even though they saw the shortcomings, they did not dare to take the risk. After all, it was just a guess and had not been confirmed.

And being beaten to death like this was really too frustrating. Hong Houzhi might be the first Xuanxian realm cultivator in the Biantian World to die so miserably.

Therefore, the five great elders unanimously decided not to rashly attack the defensive formation. "It seems that the Cangqiu demon tribe has invited strong reinforcements. We should not attack Shilong Pass for the time being. It is better to make long-term plans first."

The death of Hong Houzhi also frightened the Xuanxian and Zhenxian cultivators of the five sects in Lianchuan. If they were asked to take the initiative to attack now, they would definitely encounter resistance.

Moreover, it is not easy for a sect to cultivate an immortal, and he must not die in such an unclear way. The Taize Sect has lost a Xuanxian, which is already a huge loss.

"I have lost a Xuanxian elder. I want to apologize to the master." Xu Ji, the great elder of Taize Sect, said with a solemn expression and a sigh in his heart.

Afterwards, the monks from the five sects of Lianchuan began to set up a large formation and sealed off their own base to prevent people in Shilong Pass from launching a sneak attack.

"General, the five sects of Lianchuan have set up a formation to seal the gate!" When the demon cultivators on Shilong Pass saw this scene, they immediately cheered and some even cried for joy. Shilong Pass was finally defended, and they had defended more than a thousand miles of living space for the Cangqiu demon clan.

Lihua also wiped away her tears. She knew very well what 'setting up a formation to seal the door' meant. Generally speaking, when two monks were fighting, only the defending side would set up a formation.

Once a large formation is established, entering and exiting becomes extremely complex and difficult, making it very unfavorable for attack. Furthermore, setting up and withdrawing the formation is equally complex and consumes a huge amount of supplies, so setting up the formation is very troublesome and uneconomical for the attacking side, and it may even affect the strength of the attack.

The defenders only need to guard the defensive formation and have no need to go in or out, so the defenders set up the formation.

Now that the five sects of Lianchuan have set up a formation to seal the gate, it means that they have also switched to a defensive state and will not attack again in the short term.

"General You!" Lihua brought the few remaining Cangqiu demon cultivators who were above the True Immortal Realm to You Keji and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, General You, for your help. Lihua, on behalf of all the demon cultivators in Shilong Pass, would like to thank General You and the heavenly soldiers."

You Keji held the sword at his waist with his left hand. Upon hearing this, he raised his hand to stop Lihua from thanking him. Then he said calmly, "We are just following the military orders of the Heavenly Law. There is no need to be so kind."

After saying that, You Keji bowed to Lihua and turned around to continue inspecting the defense line.

...

In the Cangqiu Demon Clan's royal city, inside the Demon King's Hall, the two elders, Lu Huai and Yu Bai, jumped up from their seats when they saw Fang Cai's precious gun kill a Xuanxian in seconds.

Fu Qinggang looked at the Huaguang treasure guns on the backs of the heavenly soldiers in the light curtain with a serious face.

After a while, the demon king Fu Qinggang asked Tang Yu, "Fellow Daoist, how many such heavenly soldiers are there in the heaven you mentioned?"

Tang Yu said: "Six million."

"How much?" Fu Qinggang felt at that moment that he might be really old and couldn't even hear the words clearly, so he tilted his ear and asked again.

This time, Tang Yu spoke word for word: "There are about six million heavenly soldiers in Heaven now. Not 60,000, nor 600,000, but six million!"

Lu Huai and Yu Bai glanced at each other, and then Lu Huai asked, "Are they all exactly the same as these five hundred heavenly soldiers?"

"Yes." Tang Yu nodded, but then added: "However, there are only a little over one million Heavenly Soldiers equipped with the Huaguang Treasure Cannon."

Yu Bai asked again, "Does that mean that Heaven now has six million True Immortal Realm celestial soldiers?"

"That's right." Tang Yu nodded and said, "For the entire Three Realms, this number is indeed a bit small."

Too few?! Six million True Immortals is still too few? Just ask, which great sect in the Three Realms has the ability to cultivate six million True Immortals? This is no longer just a matter of ability, but involves an immense amount of resources.
