Chapter 474 The Dark Mountain Sect's Overt Scheme: Snow Jade Takes Form
at the same time.
Below the halfway point of Kuangmei Mountain, on the side facing the Crimson Kite Demon Realm, a platform juts out from the mountain. After renovation, the Crimson Kite Demon Cultivator's main camp is located here.
The Battle of Ice River Pass was led by Hanxue Peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the Underworld Mountain Sect. The latter deployed a large number of Nascent Soul main forces to support the battle, and command was also in their hands.
After all, the internal war within the demonic path was completely over after the trip to Dongjijing.
Under the circumstances of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect's intervention.
The main force of Huangquan Temple was sent to the Black Mountain Pass battlefield as the vanguard, and the same was true for the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. If it weren't for the fact that the cultivators of Cold Blood Peak were more suited to perform in the icy and snowy environment, they wouldn't have come.
Ice River Pass will be the battlefield for the Underworld Mountain Cult.
It's perfectly normal for them to have command over the command, especially since the number of Nascent Soul cultivators at Cold Blood Peak is limited, and the Cold Blood Mountain Master is stationed at the sect.
Blue Heart Elder, Ice Soul Fairy.
Two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were among the main forces, along with the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Frost Demon Lord, and a large number of Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators from the four major Cold Blood families.
This force, numbering over three thousand, is already a formidable force and a mainstay on the battlefield of Binghe Pass.
In cultivator wars, the strength of the cultivators' foundation and the power of their magical weapons are the deciding factors.
In this respect, the demonic path's war spirit boats are no less powerful than the righteous path's, resulting in a 50/50 situation and a long-standing, evenly matched contest.
Using the Retreat to Conceal Heaven Spell, Wang Yu successfully passed through the Lieyang Sect's territory and directly infiltrated the Chiyuan's territory.
Considering the personal grudge between him and the Underworld Sect, Wang Yu chose to appear at the camp of the Ice Soul Fairy. She was a member of the Zuoqiu Clan and shared the same cultivation technique with Wang Yu.
Although the two had little contact, a basic level of trust still existed, especially since Wang Yu was there to help.
The Ice Soul Fairy's camp was quite large.
All conditions were maximized, and this base even had several fourth-order spiritual veins temporarily brought in by the earth array master to provide for the daily cultivation and recovery of a large number of Nascent Soul experts.
After passing through a series of sentry posts, Wang Yu went straight into the camp.
The Ice Soul Fairy was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her veil removed, revealing a beautiful face with delicate eyebrows and white teeth, as elegant and refined as a lotus flower in the distance.
Her face is very beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't be called a fairy, but in reality, her identity as a great cultivator is more attractive.
Excluding a few exceptions, a man's desire to conquer is innate.
Wang Yu leisurely observed for several breaths before clearing his throat to acknowledge his presence.
Ice Soul Fairy suddenly opened her eyes, her sharp gaze sweeping over. Upon seeing Wang Yu's handsome face, she quickly calmed down, then asked with some surprise.
"What kind of secret technique is this? It can actually deceive my senses..."
Wang Yu pretended not to hear and went straight to the point.
"Is the fairy confident that she can overcome this formidable barrier of Kuangmei Mountain?"
The Ice Soul Fairy frowned slightly.
"It seems you've made another breakthrough recently. Your talent is truly terrifying. No wonder you can manipulate a dignified Venerable one like a puppet."
"You flatter me, Fairy. I merely borrowed the power of the Yellow Springs Temple Master to put up a slight resistance. The path of cultivation is arduous, and all beings are struggling to cross it. How can I be an exception?"
"That's what they say, but you rose from a useless spiritual root, and the Profound Origin Demon Embryo is indeed mysterious and unpredictable. Jiu Xie also died at your hands?"
Wang Yu continued to avoid the issue.
"Why dwell on the past? Let's talk about Kuang Meishan and Binghe Pass. I, Wang, have not betrayed the sect and am still one of the Nascent Soul Ancestors of Hanxue Peak."
Upon hearing this, the Ice Soul Fairy suddenly realized.
"I almost forgot, you also have the name Xuan Dan. It seems you want to use the Blood Dao Spirit Pill to quickly improve your cultivation. This path is not easy and will make countless enemies."
"There's no need for you to trouble yourself with that, Fairy. Instead, tell me the list of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blazing Sun Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect, as well as the recent strategic plans of the Dark Mountain Sect."
After a moment of silence, the Ice Soul Fairy spoke.
"Theoretically, I shouldn't give it to you, but since you are indeed the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Cold Blood Peak, I will give you one."
Having received the jade slip containing divine sense, Wang Yu felt he had achieved most of his goal and continued to ask questions.
"Do you have a detailed map showing the location of the fourth-order spiritual vein on Kuangmei Mountain?"
"Of course there are, but there are also some over Taihu Lake. If you hide there, you could easily fall into a trap."
"It's alright."
Wang Yu cultivates the Earth Mother Scripture. Although he focuses on feng shui and other unusual techniques, he is still considered a half-master of earth formations. Capturing spiritual veins is also one of his specialties, although he does not cultivate the profound mysteries of formations.
The lineage of array masters is divided into three branches: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
Human array masters are the least skilled, as they neither understand feng shui nor celestial phenomena, and are at the bottom of the array master lineage. Earth array masters, on the other hand, incorporate the extraordinary techniques of feng shui masters, and geomancy and pulse determination are their primary duties.
On this basis, the Celestial Array Masters possess the ability to set up celestial arrays. If they can combine the wonders of heaven and earth, they can generate the pinnacle power of the Ice Prison Realm, which is extremely rare.
The purpose of seeking spiritual veins is to prepare for Xueyu's breakthrough. Kuangmei Mountain is so vast that as long as one avoids certain battle points, it is not difficult to make use of the spiritual veins.
Once the tribulation lightning is attracted, no one can stop the breakthrough.
Having achieved his two objectives, Wang Yu immediately checked the information in the jade slip containing his divine sense, and soon his brows furrowed.
"Is the Underworld Sect slacking off?"
Ice Soul Fairy nodded.
"More than 20 years ago, Elder Lanxin and I, together with the Heavenly Array Master Xu Yao, used the [Heavenly Freeze Soul-Shattering Array] to induce a snowfall phenomenon, intending to use the cold wave disaster to tie down the core forces of the Biyun Sect."
"We will attack Binghe Pass and Kuangmei Mountain at the same time and win the battle in one fell swoop. However, the vice leader of the Mingshan Sect, Bishop Youpeng, mainly advocates attrition tactics."
"The opportunity was wasted. After the Blazing Sun Sect used the [Fire Crow Blazing Flame Array] to offset the impact of the cold current, they were caught in a long tug-of-war."
"So far, only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators have perished, one righteous and one demonic, with meager results."
The Ice Soul Fairy made it very clear, and Bishop Youpeng's purpose was not hard to guess.
Their cooperation with Huangquan Temple has fallen through due to the losses suffered by Dongji Jingzhong.
However, Huangquan Temple and Mingshan Sect are adjacent.
As long as Huangquan Temple consumes too much of its high-end combat power, once the war between the righteous and the demonic forces ends, Mingshan Sect will naturally be able to head north and take a bite out of Huangquan Temple's territory.
Their sect's territory was originally located in the southeast corner of Chiyuan.
Even if they gained vast territories in the war between good and evil, it would be difficult to take over fragmented areas. These areas were not connected to each other, and even the most fertile lands would be of little value to the Underworld Mountain Sect.
Looking back, regardless of the outcome of the battle between good and evil.
The territories of both sides have never changed, always using the North-South Dividing Mountain Range as the dividing line, so Bishop Youpeng's idea was practically an open secret.
Whether you put in the effort or give up, the result will be the same.
Instead, we should plan for the benefits after the war ends.
After a little thought, he could figure out Bishop Youpeng's little scheme perfectly, and he didn't care if others guessed it.
As long as the Refining Heaven Demon Sect focuses its efforts on Black Mountain Pass.
Whether we win, remain deadlocked, or are driven back is irrelevant unless His Holiness himself descends to oversee the battle.
"This is a bit tricky..."
Wang Yu pondered a way to break the deadlock while browsing the lists of powerful figures from the Lieyang Sect and the Biyun Sect, as well as the number of people and the strength of their teams.
A thought suddenly struck me.
The Mingshan Sect had no need to break through the Ice River Pass; they were simply responding to the call of the leader of the demonic path. However, the Biyun Sect and the Lieyang Sect definitely wanted to make a contribution.
Especially after being hit by the cold wave, they have already lost face.
Wang Yu went on a killing spree in Shuiyun Immortal Capital. If the Biyun Sect had any sense of shame, it would not tolerate this and would definitely find a way to retaliate.
Otherwise, the reputation that righteous sects value most will be completely shattered.
After pondering for a long time.
Wang Yu believes the key lies with Jin Yan Daojun and Yin Jiao Mojun. Bishop Youpeng is the commander of the Chiyuan camp and is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection being.
He rarely leaves the field, and will even try to avoid situations that require him to leave the field.
Yin Jiao Demon Lord was his strongest subordinate.
At the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, Jin Yan Daojun was a powerful figure from the Lieyang Sect who was fighting against Yin Jiao. The two were evenly matched, and Jin Yan definitely wanted to kill Yin Jiao.
This "motivation" may be the key to breakthrough.
The specific plan still needs to be considered in the long term. Wang Yu gave the Ice Soul Fairy a communication jade talisman, so communication in the Kuangmei Mountain area would not be a problem.
He then cast the Retreat to the Void and Conceal the Heavens spell, and took his leave.
He remembered that the main area of activity for the Demon Clan was in the Northern Broken Realm Mountains, and Lei Yao might be able to help him.
certainly.
Asking her directly for help, saying you want to hunt down a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Azure Cloud Sect, is definitely not going to work. But if you reveal the weaknesses in the Crimson Kite defense line, there might be room for maneuver.
However, this move could very well cost him the friendship of this direct descendant of Lei Huo Guan, considering that Wang Yu had served as a demon-slaying vanguard for a period of time.
He was 100% certain that his first deception would succeed.
They will then become enemies.
This is one option. The second option is to contact the Northern Demon Clan and have them send out more Demon King-level experts to lure the Biyun Sect experts deep into their territory.
During the previous cold wave disaster, the Fire Crow King of the Northern Demon Clan provided assistance, so they are currently allied with the Azure Cloud Sect, and the possibility of further cooperation is not low.
He can also achieve his goal of hunting down Nascent Soul cultivators.
It would require paying a higher price, unlike deceiving Lei Yao, which only resulted in the loss of a friendship.
He also owes Tianpeng King a favor, and Youying Mastiff King and Zhenyan King each a favor for refining pills for free once. The debts he owes are not small.
It doesn't seem to matter if we owe a little more?
My mind is racing.
A moment later.
On the outskirts of Kuangmei Mountain, Wang Yu successfully met up with Xue Yu and Dou Zhao, who were staying there.
"Master, how is the situation?"
"We've found the breakthrough point. There are still some problems with the hunting plan, but you don't need to worry about it. Just transform into human form first."
"Mmm~"
Xueyu was like a yes-man, agreeing with whatever Wang Yu said.
Dou Zhao wanted to take the initiative to share his burdens, and Wang Yu, seeing this, briefly explained the situation and then analyzed it carefully.
"Throughout history, the only way to lure the enemy deep into our territory is to show them weakness and use our victories to entice their main force to venture into our heartland and take risks. But in this battle, Taihu Lake is the defensive side."
"For them, the fundamental goal was to hold Binghe Pass. The significance of the Kuangmeishan Battle was also to ultimately capture Binghe Pass."
"Given the average age of Nascent Soul stage monsters, it's definitely not feasible to fake it too much, but if we go all out, they might seize the opportunity and defeat us in one battle."
This balance is very difficult to strike, so even though Wang Yu has two choices, he is still very troubled.
I really wish the enemy were all idiots, so I could easily fool them with a few simple tricks, but that's impossible unless it's an open conspiracy or exploiting an information gap.
Otherwise, there are very few people who could outwit the old monster!
After a moment of silence, Dou Zhao suddenly spoke.
“Master, why not focus on the overall picture? Perhaps there is an opportunity for a breakthrough.”
"The overall situation?"
Wang Yu pondered silently, when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.
He blurted it out and made his debut.
"Shuiyun Prefecture... Shuiyun Immortal Capital?"
Looking at the big picture, it becomes clear that the battle at Binghe Pass is at a stalemate, as are the battles between the Hehuan Demon Sect and Leihuo Temple.
Then, they advanced to the three prefectures of Taihu Lingyu from Heishan Pass.
With the Refining Heaven Demon Sect overseeing the battle, and a large number of powerful figures from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the Yellow Spring Temple, it is certain that they will take over the territory of the three states.
When Wang Yu left Shuiyun Immortal Capital, the city lord and the inspector were still considering how the Crimson Kite Demon Cultivators would attack next, worried that Shuiyun Immortal Capital was also among their targets.
Therefore, a great deal of precautions have been taken, such as increasing the number of border patrol personnel, setting up hidden sentries, and increasing road checkpoints, to name a few.
As long as the main force there continues to advance north.
The Biyun Sect, which will be the first to be affected, will definitely panic, after all, they only have four states in total, the Binghe Pass is in turmoil, and Zehu State has already fallen.
If Shuiyun Prefecture is captured again, more than half of the territory will be lost.
The longer sovereignty is lost, the greater the loss. In addition, this war has the hidden purpose of depleting the surplus population, and many places are practically handed over to the demonic cultivators for slaughter.
Under the guise of fighting to sustain war, the demonic cultivators who obtain countless resources from living beings are actually growing stronger, especially the cultivators at the middle and lower levels who are progressing at an extremely rapid pace.
The Biyun Sect also worries that the lost territory may not be regained. Furthermore, the seven righteous sects are not united, and there are many petty and despicable acts among them.
Just like the Mingshan Sect's open scheme, if a righteous sect were to do the same to the Biyun Sect, the territory would be lost after the war.
The losses would be quite severe.
As for Wang Yu's sudden inspiration...
—To relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!
Both Shuiyunxian and Yuanshi are fertile lands. After the Yuan family of the Hongyun lineage was wiped out by him, there will definitely be disputes over ownership. If Heishan Pass puts pressure on them at that time...
The Ice River Pass will definitely be more conservative, and may even send strong warriors south to provide support. This team is Wang Yu's target and the best way to achieve the hunting plan.
"My Zhao'er is indeed very intelligent."
Wang Yu's lavish praise made Dou Zhao blush.
He stammered.
"Even without Zhao'er, Master will surely find a way if he thinks about it more."
"That's not necessarily true. The worst thing for people is to get stuck on a single point."
The interaction between master and apprentice made Xueyu twist her body uncomfortably.
She said in a sweet voice.
"Master, let's set off quickly, let's transform into human form!"
"good."
Because they needed to traverse many dangerous places, Wang Yu's discarded magic pet bag came into play again, temporarily accommodating Dou Zhao, while Xue Yu returned to the spirit pet bag to wait.
In fact, Xueyu's path to breakthrough was no longer difficult.
Wang Yu solved all the problems.
She just needs to focus on making a breakthrough.
And so it is.
In just six months, a terrifying divine might descended upon a sheltered spot near the summit of Kuangmei Mountain, close to a small, recessed spring. Demonic energy filled the air, and snow covered the ground.
