"In Wolong Ravine, there are often ten or more Nascent Soul Mountain Demons, and thousands of Mountain Demons, big and small; when new Mountain Demons gather, there are more, when they get dispatched to the front lines, there are fewer; this we can't determine, it's just a matter of luck." The guide, a monk, gives a detailed introduction, trying not to miss any detail.

The monk's tactics are simple, namely a surprise assault on Wolong Ravine, to crush the Mountain Demons of Yaoguang Mountain from a morale standpoint.

The method is very old-fashioned, without any novelty, but this is the real battlefield; a genius's inspiration is a rare occurrence, what truly works are these ancient tactics, cutting off supply routes.

This method has been used countless times and will continue to be used in the future because it is the truth.

"Rapid descent surprise attack from high altitude!" Hou Niao stated succinctly, "Please Masters clear the skies, we'll descend directly from above; to prevent accidents, we ask several Bodhisattvas to disguise as northeast Buddhist Sect monks to lure them away, we need only a moment."

Approaching from the ground is unrealistic, the mountains and forests are under Mountain Demons' control, equivalent to the sea for the Sea Clan. There will definitely be Great Demon Nascent Souls stationed in the high skies, controlling the entire situation, and within a hundred miles, nothing escapes their perception, which is unrelated to the altitude from which we enter.

The plan is simple because they are not pursuing complete annihilation, nor can they wish for it; they only seek to destroy the Mountain Demon's camp, driving away the bloodthirsty minions, the number they can kill is another matter.

The main battlefield lies in the confrontation line between the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Clan, where they shouldn't overshadow the main forces. The Southwest can link along this line but cannot become the savior of Jinxiu Continent, this is the limit reiterated by Master Xu before departure.

Five Gaochang Xinye Bodhisattvas float out, flying directly towards Wolong Ravine, no need for deep scheming with Mountain Demons; they are straightforward-brained, unable to understand complex things, better to keep it simple.

Three Bodhisattvas at the front are immediately discovered upon approaching Wolong Ravine, five Nascent Soul Great Demons jump out, both sides fight and skirmish while flying toward an oblique direction; then two more Bodhisattvas approach, and four more Great Demons jump out, still dragged away.

Then over ten Nascent Soul figures from the Southwest break into Wolong Ravine, scaring the remaining Great Demons into charging forward; by this time, they have recognized something is wrong but it is too late.

Moments later, a thousand Golden Core Cultivators from the Southwest descend from the sky, engaging the hastily rising Mountain Demons, creating chaos.

Hou Niao stands at a high vantage, not leading any attacks. Below, sword cultivators are divided into four teams of a hundred each, Fang Yazi leading the Body Sword team, the remaining three flying sword teams led respectively by Yu Zhengxing, Mao Qifeng, and Wei Gu, in pure combat strength slightly lacking compared to Wang Mian, Zong Qian, Li Shipeng, whose individual abilities as sword leaders are critical.

His status now differs, his personal strength exceptional, proving himself no longer requires slaughtering ordinary Golden Core Mountain Demons.

Standing high, observing far, he wants to discern if any Outer Space Demon Beasts exist within Wolong Ravine, just like Master Zhu who stayed on Blue Mountain Island; unfortunately, careful observation reveals nothing.

Feeling displeased, he complains to someone beside him, "You chased Master Zhu all the way to the sea, couldn't you catch a live one? At least then we'd know their intentions in coming to Jinxiu, instead of guessing like now."

Tianfeng Daoist retorts, "You think I didn't want to? You think I'd be so shallow to get provoked embarrassed by mere words? I chased to capture it alive, but this fellow is knowledgeable, not a typical Demon Beast, highly intelligent, it knows my intention.

Think capturing is easy within the same Realm? Especially in the sea, unable to use mana, constantly restricted; if you wanted to catch it so much, why did you hide in the mountain pondering the Golden Spirit Pearl, so costly to complain to me now."

This probe, Hou Niao knows Tianfeng has been suspecting the timing of the Earth and Water Spirit Pearl's appearance. This question needn't explain, nor need any explanation, just go along with it,

"Three Five Elements Spiritual Pearls, such a huge opportunity? You spoke wrong, I wasn't pondering, I wanted to capture them."

Tianfeng snorts, "Why didn't you make a move?"

Hou Niao righteously replies, "Not appropriate! Given three of us went, neither of you took action, naturally, I was embarrassed to act; who told me to be such a gentleman."

Tianfeng snorts disdainfully, all nonsense, sounding fine than singing, if he had the skill he would act without hesitation regardless of three or all Five Elements Pearls, the reason for not acting is simply knowing he's incapable.

"There should be no Outer Space Demon Beasts here, even if there were, hiding and escaping purposely wouldn't be difficult; those able to come to Jinxiu Continent, even Demon Beasts aren't fools, they know what should and shouldn't be done, unlikely to act as heroes here."

This is truly a classic surprise attack, Mountain Demons numbered nearly ten thousand, but most are Foundation Establishment little demons, seven to eight hundred Golden Core Mountain Demons, how could they withstand the more powerful human cultivators' assault?

The battle quickly turns into a rout, such terrain makes complete encirclement impossible, unlike Blue Mountain Island where the Forbidden Technique of Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain prevents Sea Clan from escaping.

Just as the monk said, a battle like Blue Mountain Island's is probably a unique instance, never replicable, to drive back the Beast Tide, one must return to the most traditional approach, defeat, then compromise.

Once Mountain Demons make up their minds to flee, almost nothing can stop them; sword cultivators are fine, quick killing can achieve results, but magic cultivators are awkward, slower action means lost opportunities.

The Mountain Demons scatter into the mountain forests, disappear, just like Sea Clan returning to the sea, searching again is futile.

Hou Niao and Tianfeng hover above Wolong Ravine, with no desire to act, being clear-headed, not doing ineffectual work.

"Now I realize how lucky we were at Blue Mountain Island, unfortunately, luck comes only once." Hou Niao sighed.

Tianfeng indifferently remarks, "Actually this is normal even in the Universe Cultivation Realm, relying on warfare to wipe out a cultivation race is almost impossible. The Universe's usual approach is assimilation, dispersion, undermining, failing that then compromise; a matter unresolvable for a million years, what regret do you have in being unable to resolve it?"

In exterminating remnants, several Masters returned, their expressions showing no substantial results, Mountain Demons are shrewd, on seeing human formations they know they can't resist, fleeing promptly.

Hou Niao orders, "No pursuit, let's see if there are any outcomes at the northeast Buddhist Sect."

The damage they caused to the Mountain Demons of Yaoguang Mountain is limited, as expected, because they are not the main force.

Suddenly feeling it meaningless, just like a comedic farce.
