The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1238 - 263: Before White Jade City

Both locations were intercepted.

The ambusher on that side fled injured, while the intercepted was severely wounded and their combat power was greatly reduced.

The ambusher on this side achieved their goal, full of satisfaction, while the intercepted...

Qing Yu revealed a slight smile and vanished into thin air.

The intercepted seemed to have gained something as well.

Qing Yu seemed indifferent to Yanmo Hanba's severe injuries. The reduction in the combat power of a capable general might not necessarily be a bad thing for him.

At least, compared to what he gained, the loss did not exceed expectations.

The Buddha profited, and Qing Yu did not lose.

In the end, who gained more will depend on the future.

························

Ji Province border.

Yanmo Hanba operated to suppress the Buddha energy, rejected assistance, and stood up directly.

"Has Yin Tianxia set off yet?" he glanced to the right at Seven Extremes Elder and asked.

Although both Demon Army and Demon Sect carry the word "Demon," they are actually quite distanced. The high-level members of the Demon Sect, meaning those in the Divinity Realm, have not transformed into the Demon Race, only the Young Sect Master of Yin Demon Sect, Yun Wuyue, achieved the Taiyin Demon Body.

For those in the Divinity Realm, transforming into the Demon Race does not significantly enhance their power; instead, it requires time to harmonize the Demon Body with their cultivation body, so they do not undertake this action.

This difference does not affect the Demon Sect leadership's control over those converted Demon Race disciples, but a slight estrangement still forms.

These years, the Demon Sect has been mainly managed by Yun Wuyue due to this estrangement.

This estrangement resulted in unfamiliarity between Yin Tianxia and Yanmo Hanba, as they rarely met. For Yanmo Hanba, the Demon Race is the perfect race, and those who do not transform into the Demon Race are fools oblivious to the precious opportunity.

Thus, this Demon Army departure was accompanied only by Seven Extremes Elder, with most Demon Sect leaders not showing up.

Seven Extremes Elder also knew the personal conflict between Yanmo Hanba and Yin Tianxia, he pondered and said, "Yin Sect Master is aware that Demon Lord ordered this conference to the Mystical Demon Sect's person, and has reported it to Xuan Venerate."

"Send a message to have her come over," Yanmo Hanba said.

"This..."

Seven Extremes Elder hesitated, but Yanmo Hanba's red pupils came close to him, "The Debating Conference concerns the Daoist orthodoc passed by the Demon Emperor; there cannot be any mistake.

Anyone who dares to err, I will certainly not spare."

He turned around and said indifferently, "Let Yin Tianxia come over, I will have her lead the Demon Sect. After being ambushed, my cultivation body is significantly injured, and I fear I cannot participate in the Debating Conference."

Yanmo Hanba did not avoid mentioning his injuries, as he considered that if he couldn't act, he should let someone who could lead the people; this is the correct choice.

Holding on due to face or relations would be courting disaster.

"Yes, I will notify Yin Sect Master immediately." Seven Extremes Elder was slightly astonished but quickly responded.

He didn't expect the strong and overbearing Yanmo Hanba to so easily relinquish command, which was indeed out of character.

However, this is a good thing, at least it will not disrupt the Debating Conference due to Yanmo Hanba.

Immediately, Seven Extremes Elder went to inform Yin Tianxia, while Yanmo Hanba proceeded to the Central Army War Car to begin healing.

The direction of the Demon Army remained unchanged, continuing to march toward the East Province.

Eleven days later, the Demon Army arrived at the East Province, a dark-armored army nearing White Jade City, and the rampant demon qi made even the Daoist and Buddhist martial artists present lose their color.

A hundred thousand Demon Army, each an Innate Martial Artist, with those holding ranks being experts above the Divine Origin Realm, and no lack of True Pill Realm practitioners.

The gathered Soldier Evil qi from such a military force is capable of overwhelming Divine Communication.

It didn't take long for Innate Martial Artists to approach White Jade City from the East Province border. Half a day later, when the hundred thousand Demon Army truly neared White Jade City, the converged demon qi and Soldier Evil formed black clouds, spreading and pressing upon the Daoist Holy Land White Jade City.

Black clouds press down on the city, seeming to crush it.

At this moment, the only thought in the minds of those in White Jade City.

"Compared to the Mystical Sect that split off, this Demon Sect is perhaps even more of a threat."

On the city gate of White Jade City, Kucha looked at those endlessly rolling, seemingly hidden Demon Dragon evil clouds, with a solemn expression.

No matter how strong the Mystical Sect is, it cannot have a hundred thousand Innate, and it cannot overwhelm Divine Communication by military force alone. Moreover, the two current supreme experts of the enemy—Yanmo Hanba and Yin Tianxia, both belong to the Demon Sect, not the Mystical Sect.

"This Xuan Venerate..." Kucha shook his head with a bitter smile, "it would be more fitting to call him a Demon Lord."

"To us, he is the demon."

A stern voice suddenly appeared, and Kucha slowly turned, saluting the newcomer, "Mr. Pei, greetings."

The arrival is the current supreme expert belonging to the Taoist sect, Pei Dongliu.

He gazed at the dark army advancing and the pressing black clouds above, his body emanating a militant aura piercing the sky.

"Before White Jade City, do not act recklessly!"

Golden battle aura filled the sky, countless illusions of weapons formed gold clouds, confronting the evil cloud. Pei Dongliu slowly ascended, confronting the hundred thousand Demon Army alone.

"Halt!"

The continuously moving evil cloud surprisingly paused under this shout, and the army's march was also halted.

For those in the Divinity Realm, this army momentum is an unstoppable force, but a supreme expert can halt its advance.

The extreme martial strength exhibited in the supreme experts played out vividly, and Pei Dongliu's feat also calmed some of the anxious Daoists within White Jade City.

However, in the next moment, a Demon Moon rising from within the army illuminated the ground under the dark clouds and shattered the golden battle aura suppression.

"Yin Tianxia." Pei Dongliu uttered the name of the figure within that Demon Moon.

Then, he burst into laughter, "It seems Yanmo Hanba is indeed quite injured to have let you lead the army."

Despite Shi Jue repeatedly assuring that Yanmo Hanba suffered greatly this time, Pei Dongliu still maintained suspicion. After all, the original plan was to kill Yanmo Hanba, and now he was merely injured.

However, upon seeing Yin Tianxia, Pei Dongliu finally confirmed Yanmo Hanba's injuries.

"The Mystical Sect has no supreme, now only you, a mere woman, stand for the Demon Sect. This time in the Debating Conference, your Mystical Demon sects are destined to be eliminated."

Pei Dongliu deliberately used words to provoke Yin Tianxia, trying to incite her anger.

Yin Tianxia's female venerate ideology is famously known, how could Pei Dongliu not know. He purposely provoked her, wanting her to act first, then Pei Dongliu could find a way to heavily injure her, securing a victory before the Debating Conference.

The idea was good, but although Yin Tianxia's thoughts were extreme, she wasn't foolish.

She just let out a cold laugh, "A stray dog, how dare you speak of courage."

Then she couldn't be bothered to engage Pei Dongliu anymore.

Pei Dongliu wanted to continue, but then heard a voice nearby

"Who said the Mystical Sect has no supreme experts?"

A young lord with white clothes and black hair lightly shook a fan, approaching in the air, "Am I not one?"
