Our forces are growing stronger. On the outer perimeter, all disciples of the Haotian Alliance who received the news were converging here. Some managed to reach us safely, while others encountered ambushes and suffered heavy losses.

Never before has the Lingxi Town defense battle escalated to this point.

Even within the same camp, during the previous Linhxi Town defense battle, cultivators cooperated at most by forming teams of no more than ten people. After all, with too many people, many things would become chaotic. The distribution of spoils after defeating the enemy, as well as finding good things and merit, would be difficult to manage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But this time, under pressure from the forces of Wanmo Ridge, the entire Haotiang League has united.

The spirited Lingxi Town Garrison, intended to be a peaceful stronghold, unexpectedly escalated into a full-blown war between the two factions of cultivators.

But as time passed, the constant transmission of messages fermented. The Wàn Mò Lǐng side suddenly discovered that there was a team of several hundred people on the Hào Tiān Liéng side, constantly sweeping around the outer circle. Several Wàn Mò Lǐng teams had encountered them, and each time resulted in heavy casualties.

The situation is not as expected. Wanmo Ridge not only failed to control the situation, but was beaten back in disarray.

Many squads of varying sizes from the Wanmo Ridge also began to gather, but at this point, it was clearly impossible to raise enough troops to rival the Sky Alliance.

The series of purges and massacres over the past few days have completely wiped out the numerical advantage that Wan Mo Ling originally had. Now, on the outer perimeter, the side with the numerical advantage is the Haoxian Alliance.

The final situation developed into both cultivators chasing each other outside the state land.

After the formation of the land of State, on the sixth day, a massive group of cultivators from the Haotian Alliance arrived, their faces covered in dust and grime. Now, there are over a thousand cultivators within our camp.

These cultivators not only had those from the outer perimeter, but also those who ran out from the inner perimeter. Their cultivation levels could be at the eighth or ninth level, and there were even powerhouses who had switched to practicing heavenly-grade techniques...

Recently, things haven't been easy for them. They've been on the run from powerful pursuers in the Shadowfell. Hearing that their faction was doing well on the outer rim, they came seeking refuge. Naturally, everyone welcomed them with open arms.

Although cultivators of high levels are able to exert similar strength as others when reaching the outer circle under the balance of heavenly secrets, an extra person always brings additional strength.

Otherwise, based solely on the survival rate visible to cultivators outside the circle, it would be impossible to break through a thousand.

The number of participants is still increasing, as cultivators from the Heavenly Alliance continue to flee from within the mainland states. In previous skirmishes in Lingxi Town, these advanced cultivators only operated in areas where they could fully utilize their abilities and rarely ventured into regions frequented by lower-level cultivators. This is similar to why cultivators at the Yunhe and Zhenhu realms generally avoid entering the Lingxi battlefield.

The road to cultivation is arduous. Dying at the hands of an equal opponent is your own fault for not honing your skills. But to be killed by someone far weaker than you, that's a death you can't bear.

The Hatian Alliance is currently pursuing a group of around 600 Wan Mo Ling cultivators. This is all that remains of the Wan Mo Ling's outer perimeter forces.

It stopped because the ghost cultivators acting as scouts ahead sent back some intelligence.

Not only that, but now the Heavenly Alliance's army has expanded to a thousand people. Considering this is already a war, a few days ago, everyone temporarily elected a decision-making circle consisting of nine people, representing the nine major states of Kyushu.

The strength of the nine people is not necessarily superior to others. It's more about the reputation of their respective schools and personal connections. Eight of them came from seven-rank sects, while only one, Lu Ye, hailed from a nine-rank sect representing the Bingzhou region, and his cultivation level was the lowest among them.

There was no dissent, because the current state of the Heavenly Alliance could be said to have developed step by step with the two from the Blood Jade Sect as its core. Without the various magical techniques of Lu Ye and Hua Ci, the Heavenly Alliance would have likely lost its capital to compete with the Wan Mo Ridge long ago.

At this very moment, nine individuals stand together on a high vantage point, gazing out at the distant horizon.

These days, the Wanmo Ridge is truly on fire. Things were going so well at first, but somehow it all went to hell. Now we're being chased by the Haotiantian League like dogs, and it's incredibly frustrating.

As the Wan Mo Ling cultivators on the outskirts were already unable to withstand the onslaught of the Hao Tian Alliance, the inner circle cultivators couldn't stay idle any longer. They dispatched a contingent to join forces with their lower-ranking comrades, preparing to confront the Hao Tian Alliance. After both groups united, there were approximately eight hundred of them.

This way, the disparity in numbers between the two sides' cultivators wouldn't be so significant. Even if the Heavenly Alliance had some advantages, they wouldn't gain much of an edge if a real battle broke out.

Moreover, the Wanmo Ridge cultivators wouldn't just be idly waiting there. They would also set up various measures, such as having formation masters lay down formations. As long as they had enough time, they could set up all sorts of formations to bide their time and minimize the disadvantage of having fewer people. If the Haotian Alliance dared to attack, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties.

Under normal circumstances, neither side would dare to make any rash moves in this situation.

But the ghost cultivators also discovered something else interesting, which was the location where the Wan Mo Ling currently occupied.

After the young man finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Ye: "Brother Lu Ye, don't you think that spot looks familiar"

He and Huaci appeared there the moment they entered Qihei. They stayed there for almost twenty days, more familiar with that location than anyone else. Many times, he and Huaci stood on the highest point of that area, observing the surrounding environment.

"So, we've come full circle" A short man rubbed his head.

"That's right, we've run back again," the young man smiled.

"I understand!" another woman's eyes lit up, "It's a Gathering Spirit Formation left behind by Shixiong Yiyè! These demons from Wanmo Ridge have been fleeing these days, consuming a lot of energy. Suddenly finding such a geomantic treasure spot, they definitely wouldn't want to leave. Staying there would allow them to recover quickly, no wonder they dared to stop."ontinued his cultivation, recovering his spiritual power.
