214: Chapter 214 The War Is Over!!

Spurt!

After Chen Xuanyi slashed back the Tier 2 fierce ghost in front of him, that powerful Tier 2 fierce ghost vanished in a flash and appeared behind Chen Xuanyi.

If not for Chen Xuanyi dodging quickly, that claw just now would not have just pierced his shoulder, but his heart.

Enduring the excruciating pain, he brought his sword down with a slash, causing red-gold Sword Qi to burst forth and send it flying dozens of zhang away.

However, this sword strike only bought him some time; after just a moment, that Tier 2 High Grade fierce ghost charged over again.

Right behind it, another Tier 2 fierce ghost closely followed.

Chen Xuanyi took out several glazed talismans, threw them forward, and then continuously poured the fire-attribute spiritual power within his body into his own chiyang sword.

Just as the two Tier 2 fierce ghosts were continuously breaking these glazed talismans, Chen Xuanyi gritted his teeth. Under the enhancement of spiritual power in the chiyang sword in his hand, the surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy continuously gathered around his body.

With a single sword slash down came the Great Sun Radiant Flame.

A massive fireball with a radius of about ten zhang condensed at the tip of the sword. As the sword slashed down, this huge fireball also smashed toward the two Tier 2 fierce ghosts.

The terrifying high temperature continuously evaporated the surrounding Spiritual Qi, forming a vacuum zone within a radius of a hundred zhang.

Boom!

Roar!

The two Tier 2 fierce ghosts were hit head-on, continuously emitting wailing cries.

Bang!

The air wave generated by the huge explosion blew the surrounding Cultivators and fierce ghosts flying away, and even shook the figure of Chen Xuanyi back.

After about a few breaths, the flames at the center of the explosion slowly dissipated, replaced by a large pit with a radius of about one li.

Inside that large pit, everyone could still feel a terrifyingly high temperature.

As the temperature in the pit gradually dropped, Chen Xuanyi extended his Divine Sense to sense the situation inside.

After discovering that there was no fierce ghost aura whatsoever in this pit, his originally tense mood gradually relaxed.

That attack just now consumed a full majority of the spiritual power inside his body; if it still had not been useful, he would have had no other way out.

Chen Xuanyi hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a drop of spiritual milk to consume. The spiritual milk inside the porcelain bottle was already running critically low; originally ten drops were taken from the Family treasury, but in these few battles, four drops were consumed by him, another two drops were consumed by Li Taixuan, and Zhou Ziye and the others also consumed one drop each. Now, there were only two drops left in the porcelain bottle.

Although there was still quite a bit left in the Family, a portion of it was stored in Qingyang Mountain, and another portion was in the Family treasury of Wuyue Mountain. Moreover, quite a bit had been used successively over the years. Speaking just within Wuyue Mountain, excluding what other Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the Family possessed, there were probably only a few dozen drops left.

Previously, Chen Lingchuan had also taken out ten drops, but it was shattered during the battle, causing that porcelain bottle—which already had two drops consumed—to be smashed apart in mid-air by the aftermath of the battle.

"Careful, Brother Chen!"

The voice of Li Taixuan sounded from afar, urgent and terrified.

The alarm bells of Chen Xuanyi rang wildly; pinching an escape talisman in his hand, he hurriedly activated it.

After he reappeared in place, that Tier 2 High Grade fierce ghost was dragging a body that was only half left, and its ghostly claw was just retracting from the place where Chen Xuanyi had vanished a moment ago.

It turned its head to stare at Chen Xuanyi, its eyes filled with hatred and irascible anger. Its body had just suffered the attack of the Great Sun Radiant Flame, and fortunately it used ghost steps to vanish at the very end, otherwise it would have died under that attack just now.

Toward this human who had almost killed it, its murderous intent was higher than ever before.

However, seeing that the spiritual power of Chen Xuanyi had already recovered to Perfection, it could only turn and leave, recovering its body first before coming back to settle accounts.

Watching it leave, Chen Xuanyi did not stop it. This Tier 2 fierce ghost far surpassed the rest of the Tier 2 fierce ghosts; not only was its strength formidable, but its vitality was also extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, he had inflicted heavy injuries on it earlier; otherwise, he might not have truly been able to dodge that move just now.

Li Taixuan glanced over from afar, withdrew his gaze, and concentrated on dealing with the fierce ghost in front of him. The fierce ghost he faced was also not easy to handle; although he had slain two Tier 2 fierce ghosts earlier and originally wanted to seize the time to slay the last one, other Tier 2 fierce ghosts had charged over, causing him not to resolve the matter yet.

Behind these ghostly entities, there were still an endless stream of ghostly entities.

About one day later, Chen Xuanyi and the others finally re-slaughtered all these ghostly entities, with the remaining portion scattering and fleeing back, not daring to come over again.

In the span of a day, over ten thousand Cultivators were killed until fewer than four thousand remained, but tens of thousands of ghostly entities were also wiped out.

However, with their current headcount, if another wave came, they might be completely annihilated. Moreover, the Yuxu Sect had not dispatched Cultivators for reinforcement for some time. As for how the other battlefields were doing right now, with the qualifications of Foundation Establishment Cultivators like Chen Xuanyi, they were still unable to obtain such confidential information.

...

A few days later, Master Yuxu and Immortal Master Wuya discussed the issue of territory allocation. The two of them appeared simultaneously before the group of Golden Core Masters and brought up the issue of territory distribution.

Aside from Yangzhou, Yan Country also needed to cede three and a half provinces: respectively Jizhou, Liangzhou, Bing Prefecture, and half of Ying Province.

This proposal was also approved by the Palace Master of Biluo Palace and the Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect.

Although Yan Country suffered massive losses this time, Master Yuxu also pulled all these factions down together to jointly resist the Ghost Abyss.

Once they had completely finished discussing and given out these commands, a large-scale mobilization unfolded right then and there.

Those three countries, plus Medicine King Valley and the Anti-Immortal Alliance, dispatched quite a few Cultivators to head toward the Ghost Abyss together, while another portion of Cultivators took over a large amount of territory for subsequent distribution among themselves.

Meanwhile, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace led the Sect and the Family factions willing to follow to migrate to Youzhou together.

It happened that Youzhou had no Golden Core factions, making it a good choice for Biluo Palace. Among the other factions, the Yuxu Sect also provided some territory for the Cultivators who migrated from Yan Country to use as habitats.

The Tianyan Sect did the same. These two Sects and the Haoyue Tang Family of Yizhou possessed the most intact territories, and each taking out a portion of their territory was just enough to accommodate the cultivation factions of Yan Country.

Nowadays, Yan Country only had four and a half provinces of territory left, among which only three Sects and four major families remained as Golden Core factions.

Even though Yan Country had undergone several losses, the Golden Core Masters it possessed were still the strongest among these cultivation countries. This was also one of the reasons why these cultivation factions dared not completely offend Yan Country to the death.

However, a month later, after these three countries, cooperating with the Anti-Immortal Alliance and the factions of Yan Country, re-sealed the Ghost Abyss, their very first matter was to form an alliance. This was because they worried that one day Yan Country would settle accounts with them one by one.

Although it was not that they lacked the ability to completely destroy Yan Country, Yan Country's strength was formidable. Coupled with the fact that they only wanted territory to develop their own factions rather than fighting to the death, if they truly drove Yan Country to desperation, they certainly wouldn't dare claim they could survive the ensuing war.

After having cultivated to this Realm, how many of these Golden Core Masters did not cherish their own lives?

And their thoughts—how could they not be the thoughts of Yan Country and the others? Territory could be retaken in the future, but now was not the time.
