Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and the great demons below the ninth rank, as well as the clan ancestors who had just entered the ascension stage, did not join the battle for the time being. They all watched intently from the sidelines, ready to fill in any gaps and provide support at any time.
Jiu Yue's current combat power is too strong. If they all participate in the battle, it will be easy to cause casualties, and the dimensional barrier will not be able to withstand it.
Even now, with only the three patriarchs fighting against Jiu Yue, they can feel the fragile dimensional barrier trembling like ripples on water.
Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and others, who had experienced the collapse of the Great Zhao plane, were even more worried.
With millions of demonic troops from the Southern Region pressing in, they cannot afford to relax their vigilance in the slightest.
If the Danling Continent plane truly collapses, they will all perish here, with no time to escape.
Shang Xiye held Ji Fengyao's small hand tightly with his large hand, while Wuhen also held Xique's hand tightly.
Everyone was on edge, not knowing when the string would loosen or break.
At this moment, the Southern Region Pill Sect, Liuxiang Town at the foot of the mountain, and Tongcheng have all been occupied and surrounded by the vast demon army.
Wisps of black demonic energy shot straight into the sky, obscuring the sun.
The surrounding villages and towns of small spiritual practitioners and ordinary mortals who hadn't had time to evacuate had already been ravaged by bloodshed.
The Dan Sect's mountain-protecting formation has been activated, and all the peak-protecting formations within the sect have also been activated.
Ji Fengyao left them enough protective materials, array foundation stones, and spirit stones to keep them lavishly spending for hundreds of years!
This was something Demon Lord Jiu Yue hadn't anticipated, so this wasn't a quick battle at all, but a protracted war!
Led by the ten demon generals, the demons launched a sustained and orderly attack on the Dan Sect's protective mountain formation.
The idea is to use this method to continuously deplete the energy of the great formation, weaken it, and eventually break it.
The five elders, Jiang Dailuo, Qingluo, Xuanming, Wu Tianjun, and Yunji, personally led their elite disciples and main combat forces to guard the mountain gate and all directions, keeping a close eye on the changes in the mountain protection formation at all times. They promptly replenished the materials and spirit stones consumed by the formation. Everyone was orderly and even unhurried.
Two groups of people were busy on either side of the transparent array.
This continued until it grew dark and night was about to fall.
The monsters outside remained menacing, relentlessly attacking or directly ramming into the enemy lines.
Inside the Pill Sect, Bai Lu and Su Rujing led a group of female disciples, directing the medicine boys to bring out tables, chairs, benches, baskets of bowls and chopsticks, and then took out pots of hot pot, some with a rich aroma and others with a glistening red broth, as well as plates of spirit beast meat, spirit plants, and various spirit fruits and pastries from their storage rings.
This protective array only serves a defensive purpose; it does not provide sound insulation.
The demons, who were toiling away in misery, clearly heard Bai Lu and Zi Yu, along with other female disciples, loudly calling out to the Dan Sect members on duty.
The sound is crisp and clear:
"Everyone should put aside what they're doing for now; we can't work on an empty stomach."
"Just leave a few people to watch over the filling out of the documents, and everyone can take turns to eat first."
"Today's meal was prepared by Madam and Miss Bailu themselves, using ingredients from recipes developed by the Sect Master. I guarantee that after you eat it, you'll never want to look at the fasting pill again!"
"Yes, yes, and many of the ingredients here are completely safe to eat, whether you're a spiritual cultivator or a demonic cultivator!"
Especially the last sentence, "Both spiritual cultivation and demonic cultivation can consume it," Bai Lu practically shouted it at the top of her lungs.
The demons far outside the great formation all heard Bai Lu's voice.
At first, these demons didn't take it seriously, and they were very disapproving of the fact that a dignified spiritual practitioner would still pay attention to the desire for food and drink.
But while the Dan Sect members were feasting around the tables, their mouths greasy and shouting with delight, the demons outside couldn't help but swallow their envious saliva, their minds echoing with Bai Lu's words, "Demon cultivators can eat too," making them yearn for more.
If only three or four people rave about how delicious it is, then they must be actors.
But if everyone in the entire Dan Sect is having a blast, does that mean they're all actors?
The food was tolerable, but the drinks, tea, late-night snacks, and even the simple bed with its soft, fragrant blankets...
The wide variety of comprehensive logistical support and care...
Then look at the dark, boundless expanse behind you, where the sky is your only cover and even the northwest wind carries spiritual energy that makes your throat ache.
The monsters: "..."
This is absolutely outrageous!
Everyone's fighting a war, so why do some people fight like rich people on vacation, while they look like a group of refugees fleeing a war?
I feel a dull, uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and I even feel like crying!
When Ghost Face returned from the Demon Beast Forest, the Dan Sect's protective array had already been closed. According to their original plan, after destroying as many of the demons' lair passages as possible, Ghost Face would head to Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye's location to provide support at any time.
Therefore, when Ghost Face came to the Pill Sect, he originally intended to take a quick look and make sure the Pill Sect was safe before meeting up with the male and female masters.
But after Ghost Face arrived at the Pill Sect, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a handsome young man among the demons.
That thing is Jiu Yue's magic shell.
And it seems that guy has an extremely beautiful woman by his side, and he seems to dote on her quite a bit.
The girl looked a lot like Xue Bingling, and also somewhat like the female master. She had a fox-like aura mixed with a familiar human scent.
Perhaps because it had transformed into human form, the demon's mind suddenly started working incredibly fast.
Most importantly, it seems that guy didn't bring the girl with him.
In such a short time, that guy shouldn't have had enough time to send that girl to the Demon Realm.
