Deep in the Southern Wilderness, the Golden Core Demon King who spoke was a woman, the sa silver-skirted woman Lu Ping had once seen, possessing the strength of the Second-Layer Golden Core.
Beside her sat the formidable Black Wind Demon King.
"This year’s war between the two races in the Southern Wilderness ends here."
Elder Jiang rely smiled faintly at the words of the Silver Skirt Demon King and had no intention of speaking further.
"Farewell."
As soon as the words were spoken, Elder Jiang followed Ku Daoist through the sky, transforming into a long rainbow, flying to where Liu Qiui and others were.
"Greetings to Elder Jiang, greetings to Elder Li."
Seeing the two Golden Core Ancestors fly in front of him, their aura not retracted and appearing very powerful, Lu Yuanshan, in his heart full of envy, did not forget to greet and pay respects.
"Greetings to Elder Jiang!"
"Greetings to Elder Li!"
Surrounding them, whether Crystallization Stage Cultivators or Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, like Lu Yuanshan, hurriedly bowed with respect.
"Mm, this Southern Wilderness battle is already at its end. Next, it is just to clean up so remaining remnants of demon beasts around."
"You’ve worked hard, all of you."
Ku Daoist nodded with a smile, his gaze falling one by one on Liu Qiui, Lu Yuanshan, and several other Crystallization Stage Cultivators.
"Master, Elder Li, within a hundred li radius, most of the demon beasts have been cleared out. The few remaining demon beasts are already being handled by the fellows of the Dubhe Institute."
Liu Qiui landed beside Elder Jiang and spoke gently.
"Well, the remaining demon beasts are just so small fries. It won’t take two days to clear them out."
Ku Daoist said.
Elder Jiang also nodded in agreent.
This ti, she and Ku Daoist did not intend to kill the Red-eyed Demon King and the Red Swan Demon King, nor did they intend to tear faces with the Southern Wilderness Demon Race.
It was entirely a matter of not having t for a hundred years, just interested in sparring a bit, to learn of each other’s strength.
With an agreent as a foundation, both sides cooperated, and it wouldn’t go to the extent of a fight to the death, losing Golden Core Level combat power.
Cultivation is truly not easy.
Lu Ping floated to the side, and upon hearing Liu Qiui’s words, he gained a clearer understanding of the current demon beast situation.
This ti, the Southern Wilderness expedition, with the sparring of the four Golden Core Stage powerhouses, signaled the end of the battle.
Thus, the Southern Wilderness expedition could co to a close.
After a brief conversation, Ku Daoist took out a Flying Boat Spiritual Artifact, inviting everyone to board and return to Purple Fire Castle.
When everyone returned to Purple Fire Castle, they found the number of cultivators had already gathered to over seven thousand.
It already had the grand montum of Nine Cold Mountain, Dubhe Institute, and the Eight Great Sects gathering at Purple Fire Castle.
One after another, flying ships appeared above Purple Fire Castle.
Judging by this, it was clear that the Southern Wilderness expedition had ended and was in the closing stages.
Just as Ku Daoist said, in various parts of the Southern Wilderness, the remaining demon beasts were just so small fries.
The strongest beasts were just of Tier Two Middle Grade.
According to the statistics from Dubhe Institute, the number of these demon beasts was less than a thousand, and dispatching two Profound-level teams could easily clear them out.
The task of clearing up the remnants of demon beasts naturally fell to Dubhe Institute.
Of course, this was not difficult at all for Dubhe Institute.
In the following days, more flying ships returned one after another.
Until six or seven days later, Ku Daoist, Zhang Daoqi, Zhang Daoxing, and Elder Jiang, the four Golden Core Ancestors, appeared together to hold a eting.
On the Purple Fire Castle square, it was densely packed with cultivators.
"Everyone, after about half a year of fighting, this Southern Wilderness expedition has co to a successful end. On behalf of Dubhe Institute, I thank all of you for your cooperation."
"In the coming month, you can continue to stay at Purple Fire Castle, using your battle rit points to exchange for the cultivation resources you need, or you can return ho in triumph."
"Additionally, regarding the casualties of personnel from all factions, after clear statistics, you can report to Dubhe Institute, and Dubhe Institute will provide appropriate compensation for the casualties, ensuring that every participating cultivator is not treated unjustly."
"You have all done well, contributing greatly to the future peace of the Lingxi State Cultivation Realm..."
Ku Daoist spoke, and his voice clearly reached every cultivator’s ear in Purple Fire Castle.
Following that, Elder Jiang and Zhang Daoxing, Zhang Daoqi, also said a few appreciative words.
With the end of this assembly, all factions began to tally up the casualty numbers.
Dubhe Institute, Nine Cold Mountain, the Eight Great Sects, all ten forces, had varying degrees of personnel losses.
Among them, Nine Cold Mountain suffered the greatest loss, with a total of three hundred and sixty-nine.
Next was Fuyao Sect, with one hundred and fourteen losses.
The least losses were noted by the Cyan Mountain Sect. Out of twelve participating cultivators, one was lost.
After reporting to Dubhe Institute, Cyan Mountain Sect received ten thousand spirit stones in compensation, a bottle of Qi Cultivation Pills, and two pieces of Tier One High-Grade Magical Artifacts.
Dubhe Institute was truly wealthy and generous, not stingy at all.
The process of reporting losses lasted for three to four days, and it was the busiest ti afterward.
Cultivators from all factions would use battle rit points to exchange for various cultivation resources at Dubhe Institute in the following month.
To cope with such large-scale resource exchanges, these days, flying ships often transported various cultivation materials to Purple Fire Castle.
Great Crystallization Stage Cultivators escorted them safely.
For those who had completed their exchanges and were ready to leave, Dubhe Institute also dispatched flying ships for escort to ensure their safe return to their respective sects.
However, no faction seed in a hurry to leave.
During the war, many talented individuals erged, with impressive battle achievents.
These cultivators exhibited not only their talent but also demonstrated the substantial foundation of their backing forces.
The most straightforward example was Lu Yuanshan.
From initially being at the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishnt Stage, in just about half a year, his strength soared to the fifth layer of the Crystallization Stage.
Lu Yuanshan’s achievents left Golden Core Ancestors like Zhang Daoxing in awe, finding it unimaginable.
Other cultivators were even more impressed.
As a result, regardless of background, cultivators seized the opportunity to get to know Lu Yuanshan during this post-war relaxation, expanding their networks.
Aside from his own strength, Lu Yuanshan as the son of a Golden Core Ancestor, and even his sister Lu Zhiwei’s outstanding talent, attracted the admiration of many cultivators.
Consequently, the Golden Saber Sect, Profound Cyan Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, and Giant Peak Sect all extended invitations to Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, hosting feasts to entertain them.
It was much like how Xu Shouye warmly welcod Lu Yuanshan back in the day.
