Chapter 1061: Chapter 999: Scramble_2 Chapter 1061: Chapter 999: Scramble_2 This scene made those Integration Realm cultivators feel extrely irritated, but they could not say much about it since the main reason for this embarrassing predicant was the Zhang Family, and they were still in a covert state.
Besides, the law does not punish the majority; could they possibly punish all cultivators?
If they were to do so, there would be no need to wait for the attack of the Devil Race; their defense would collapse in an instant!
Better for everyone to flee together than to suffer humiliation at the hands of the Zhang Family.

“Requesting assistance?”
Upon receiving the ssage, Patriarch Li Xunda was extrely alard and without a mont’s delay—opting not to waste ti on a eting—he directly arranged for the Elders to take action.
He himself went to see Jiang Fengwu, who was setting up the Mountain Protection Array.
“Elder Ancestor Jiang, the situation on the frontlines is terrible. Without compromising the safety of the family, do we have any Lianxu Elders who can join the battle?” Li Xunda asked very directly.
Jiang Fengwu’s expression froze, gathering all the thoughts she had on the Formation, she asked, “What happened?”
“The Zhang Family cultivated a group of useless people, and after the Devil Race seized this weakness, they launched a fierce offensive. With all the cultivators fighting for their lives to defend, we barely maintained the Formation, but the condition of all cultivators is very poor, their mana completely exhausted, making a full recovery impossible in a short ti. Hence the request for assistance to the family.” Li Xunda’s tone was full of disdain for the Zhang Family.
Though a significant part of the rit in repelling the beast tide was due to the Zhang Family cultivators, they were also the ones at fault, so no one admired the Zhang Family; instead, they were filled with resentnt.
After listening, Jiang Fengwu pondered with a frown and then said, “Let Yang, Li, and Dragon Carp join the battle.”
“But then, wouldn’t that leave only you, Sheng Ancestor, and Sage Feng Peng to guard the family?” Li Xunda hesitated, “Isn’t that a bit unsafe?”
After all, Feng Peng was still incubating her and Xiaoqing’s only offspring, Li Chengsheng was in seclusion creating a Cultivation Technique, leaving only Jiang Fengwu free to act!
“Don’t worry, the North-South Life and Death Great Array will soon be complete. With this Guardian Mountain Array, even if ten Lianxu launched an assault, I could hold them off for ten days to half a month,” Jiang Fengwu confidently stated.
The Formation she was setting up was a nested array, consisting of the Big Dipper Seven Swords Killing Array and the Southern Dipper Six Flags Trapping Array, and Jiang Fengwu had also laid the groundwork for perfecting the Great Array!
The main star Ziwei was being nurtured within the Big Dipper!
For this reason, the North-South Life and Death Great Array was very close to a seventh-grade!
“Very well!” Li Xunda clenched his teeth, “I will go imdiately to pay respects to the three Spirit Ancestors. Please Elder Ancestor Jiang hurry to complete the Great Array!”
After hustling around, the three were ready.
And with the Elders urgently coordinating, in just over an hour, the Li family rallied a support troop of two thousand cultivators who boarded the massive Cloud Boat, hastening towards Nine Bend Gorge with the greatest speed.

On the other side, after the beast tide dissipated and scattered in flight, many Devil Beasts directly fled back to their own territories, causing considerable trouble for the Devil Race in reorganizing their forces.
A large number of Devil Beasts had to be dispatched far and wide, reassembling each tribe, which would take quite so ti to complete.
“Are the cultivators of Shanyuan State this powerful? It was said that only tens of thousands ca, even if they had set up an array, their army shouldn’t have been dispersed so easily, right?” A group of seventh-grade Devil Beasts, mining Fine Gold in the vein themselves, were incredibly shocked to hear the news of the battle.
To obtain more and better Fine Gold, this group of high-rank Devils not only controlled a significant number of low-rank beasts, but also eagerly entered the mine themselves.
“Did our side suffer heavy losses?” One of the seventh-grade Devil Beasts imdiately inquired.
Just how severe were the injuries for such a scenario to happen?!
If the Devil Race was nearing defeat, they would have to prepare to leave the Thousandfold Mountains!
Neither side wished to start a full-scale war, tacitly refraining from deploying those below the Integration Realm, but if the Devil Race were to suffer a major defeat, the Zhang Family would certainly not miss the opportunity to act against them.
With a bit of carelessness, they might very well find themselves in danger.
A sixth-grade Devil Beast, tasked with conveying the battle situation, shared so of the major events from the battlefield.
“The Zhang Family actually raised such a group of useless people?” A gleam flashed in one Devil Beast’s eyes.
They knew for a long ti that the Zhang Family possessed a secret Combined Assault Technique, which gave the Zhang Family a very formidable combat power. Therefore, the Devil Race hadn’t caused much trouble in recent years, even tolerating Lianxu and Divine Transformation cultivators developing Spirit Veins in the mountains.
And the Zhang Family was also unable to easily resolve the Devil Race; both sides thus maintained this stalemate.
In other words, the Li family and other powers located in the mountains were actually a buffer zone between the Devil Race and the Zhang Family.
However, the poor performance of the Zhang Family’s cultivators inspired other thoughts in the Devil Race.
“Now that those cultivators must be in a dire situation, we must organize a large army at top speed, seize the opportunity to break through the formation, expand our territory, take over the entire Spirit Vein, and then set up defense asures on the spot. No matter the cost, we must hold the defense line and not let the cultivators take it back!”
The sparkle in that Devil Beast’s eyes was fierce, and its tone carried a hint of excitent: “We must act with the utmost speed, otherwise the cultivators’ reinforcents will arrive.”
If its plan were to succeed, they would be able to mine Fine Gold unrestrainedly, especially acquiring those high-grade Fine Gold!
“Yes!”
The Rank 6 Devil Beast responded and then vanished into the earth, disappearing without a trace.
When it reappeared, it was already dozens of miles away!
This distance, it crossed in just a few breaths.
It was because of this skill that it stood out among countless devil beasts, responsible for delivering various important ssages for Rank 7 Devil Beasts.

Now both the Devil Race and the cultivators were racing against ti; whichever side was faster would determine the trend of the upcoming battle!
A little over an hour later, the Devil Race had mobilized a mighty army numbering tens of thousands of Devil Beasts, advancing majestically towards Nine Bend Gorge, causing the earth to tremble faintly with their movent.
The mood on the cultivators’ side was extrely somber, yet there was not the slightest whiff of despair.
For fifteen minutes prior, nurous cultivators had rushed to the scene!
There were several cultivator forces near Nine Bend Gorge, who, upon receiving an urgent call for help, mustered support at lightning speed and brought along so Spiritual Objects, beating the Devil Race to the battlefield.
However, at this mont within the Great Array, their figures were nowhere to be seen.
One after another, the cultivators who had not yet fully regained their strength stood up with a resolve to face death, initiating an attack against the legion of Devil Beasts.
The Devil Beasts were not frightened but rather joyous, as the cultivators’ reinforcents had not yet arrived!
Dealing with a group of the weak and wounded, they, of course, were full of confidence.
Moreover, the Formation had only been roughly repaired, significantly reducing its defensive power.
“Charge! As soon as we break through this pathetic formation, we can freely savor the taste of the human race! These cultivators shall beco the nourishnt for our growth!”
A Rank 6 Devil Beast shouted excitedly, leading the charge in attacking the formation.
A wealth of fiery light surged throughout the heaven and earth, and a giant Firebird erged from the roiling, reddish-gold Spiritual Fire, its terrifying heat causing ripples in the very space.
“Go!”
At the command, the Firebird spewed out a thick stream of reddish-gold fla, hurtling directly towards the Formation, burning everything in its path.
A Lianxu Cultivator stepped forward, wielding a sea-blue Mystice Ice Shield to block the incoming fla.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, causing everyone’s ears to ring, as the fla and the ice shield clashed midair. To the discerning eye, it was clear that the ice shield could not hold back the fla.
Bang!
After holding for half an incense stick’s ti, the ice shield was flung backward, its Spirit Light dim, but fortunately, it did not crack.
In most other confrontations between the Devil Beasts and the cultivators, the Devil Beasts had the upper hand, with only a very few cultivators barely fending off the Devil Beasts’ assaults.
And to prevent the Devil Beasts’ attacks from landing on the Formation, worsening the condition, other cultivators joined in, exerting painstaking efforts to neutralize them.
