Therefore, each of the four major demonic paths, taken individually, is stronger than any of the five elements sects.
Only when the Five Elements Sect unites can they directly confront the Four Great Demonic Sects. If the forces of the various sects within the Nine Kingdoms Alliance are also included, their overall strength will be slightly greater than that of the Northwest region.
However, with more people involved, there are naturally more conflicts of interest. This is why the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, despite having greater overall strength, was able to fight the Northwest Demonic Path to a standstill.
Just as Wu Xingteng and his companion had finished making various arrangements—repairing the formations where needed, replenishing the spiritual items where needed, and coordinating the deployment of troops from all sides to take turns resisting—
Suddenly, a guard rushed in to report.
"Reporting to Protector Zong, something seems amiss on the other side? They haven't launched a renewed attack; instead, it appears they've withdrawn..."
"Huh? What!"
Wu Xingteng frowned and suddenly looked up.
Everyone present was stunned, feeling as if they had misheard, and a commotion broke out.
"Withdraw the troops? How is that possible..."
"After such a fierce attack for several days, why the sudden retreat? Are you kidding me? There must be a trap!"
"That's right, the Cloud Soaring Sect has been making waves lately, all thanks to those wars. They're famous for their brilliant military strategies and valiant fighting. That top seed, what's his name again... Lin Xiuyuan? He's a master of military strategy, his troop deployments are unpredictable, and he's repeatedly won against overwhelming odds, making him a legendary figure!!"
"No need to overthink it, there's definitely a trap involved!"
Immediately, everyone rushed out and came to the outside of the tent, looking towards the opposite side.
Sure enough, they spotted streaks of light disappearing into the air as they systematically left the Cloud Soaring Sect's camp.
They certainly didn't think that the Cloud Soaring Sect had withdrawn its troops.
After all, they had personally experienced the intensity of the offensive over the past few days.
They work almost non-stop, with only brief gaps for rotation.
They had no intention of giving them any breathing room.
It was clear that their goal was to breach the Liushi Mine and seize this crucial strategic stronghold.
This location is of paramount importance; once captured, it would be tantamount to controlling the throat of a large surrounding area.
"It seems that, seeing that they can't break through after a long siege, they plan to occupy the surrounding resource areas first and seize the benefits first?"
In an instant, Wu Xingteng and a few other protectors figured out the key point.
While the others were unaware of the deeper reasons, they understood this one point and instantly realized that the Cloud Soaring Sect was planning to divide its forces to attack!
Gan Yuan's expression darkened slightly. "This is troublesome. My senior brothers haven't arrived yet. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance forces have suddenly sent a lot of manpower, putting our rear at a disadvantage and cutting off our roads, forcing my senior brothers to take action. Although we are currently gathering our forces and planning to focus on this area, it will still take quite some time!"
Wu Xingteng nodded, then sneered, "It is indeed a bit troublesome. However, they can't get the benefits so easily!"
