Chapter 377. Destroying the Yao Clan(race) Teleportation System
"Not at all."
Ji Feiye raised his hand and conjured an illusory map.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was precisely a topographical map of Jizhou (Region Name) and the Bibo Lake (Landmark).
The map marked the territories of a dozen or so Golden Core demon tribes, along with the location of the specially annotated Void Gem (Spiritual Object) vein.
"The importance of this Void Gem (Spiritual Object) vein goes without saying. The demon clan understands its significance as well, so it's undoubtedly guarded by a massive force."
"With us Nascent Soul True Monarchs keeping each other in check, it would still be quite difficult for you to bring it down."
"Moreover, it lies deep within the demon clan's territory. Even if we managed to capture it, holding it long-term would be nearly impossible. Our only viable option is to plunder its resources."
Ji Feiye spoke calmly, then turned his gaze toward several demon king spirit mountains. "Therefore, the main Golden Core forces of Ji Province will feign an attack on the spirit stone mines, while a separate contingent will swiftly assault their spirit mountains."
"Didn't they establish teleportation arrays connecting all major spirit mountains? If we move swiftly and strike with overwhelming force, taking 1 spirit mountain by lightning assault, we could capture multiple peaks in an astonishingly short time."
"Slay the most demons in the shortest time and seize the most formation plates—only then can we recover our losses."
Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly before shaking his head. "To completely seize control of the teleportation formation before the demon tribe can react—I'm afraid not even a Golden Core Perfection cultivator could achieve this."
Ji Feiye nodded and said calmly, "That is precisely why I have come to seek you out personally."
Everyone exchanged glances. Before they could voice their questions, Ji Feiye produced a black pagoda.
"This treasure is named the 6 Heavens Black Prison Tower, a unique auxiliary treasure whose worth is no less than that of a supreme demon-refining artifact."
The might of this artifact is sufficient to suppress any formation below the fifth rank within a single breath.
Ji Feiye’s gaze shifted to Eldrin and Lyra as he continued, “With your combat prowess added to the equation, it should be more than enough to seize control of the teleportation array in an instant—before the demon tribe even has a chance to send word.”
Lyra's eyes flickered slightly before she spoke, "If we include Zi Ji's Purple Cosmos Void-Traversing Mirror, then our success would be as certain as 10 out of 10."
"Then this battle shall be entrusted to you."
Feiye the Nightbane (Person Name) spoke calmly, having repeatedly emphasized the plan to everyone. Finally, he left behind the 6 Heavens Black Prison Pagoda (Magic Treasure), and this incarnation vanished into the void.
Just 2 days later, Yan Zijie arrived at the Earth Lion Ridge with Spirit Enchantress and Hibiscus Enchantress.
Seeing her arrival, Lyra (Person Name) remarked, "With your Violet Cosmos Void-Traversing Mirror, our plan should succeed this time."
"If we fail to seize enough Teleportation Array Disks (Magic Treasure) in this battle to disrupt the demon clan's teleportation formations, it will become far more difficult to assault their sacred mountains in the future."
Yan Zi furrowed her brows as she spoke, a trace of solemnity lingering between her eyes.
Due to the urgency of the situation, the group did not linger at Earth Lion Ridge. They quickly concealed their presence and flew straight toward Crimson Scorpion Ridge.
This time, speed was of the essence. Only Golden Core cultivators took part in the battle. The Heavenly Ruins Alliance, the Violet Abyss Sect, and the Azure Sky Sword Sect had essentially deployed their entire forces.
The Violet Abyss Sect contributed 3 Golden Cores, while the Azure Sky Sect sent Sect Leader Qian and Ling Changxu. The Celadon Immortal Sect also dispatched Elder Taiwu, bringing the total to 6 Golden Core cultivators.
The Celestial Ruins Alliance was the closest, and all of its Golden Core cultivators had been fully mobilized. Aside from Eldrin and his wife, 5 other Golden Core masters took action: Chen Changxuan of the Chen Family, Kael, Xavier, the Carefree Sage of Clear Verses, and Elara.
Upon careful tally, for this battle, the Chu Kingdom and the Cerulean Peaks Range had dispatched a total of 13 Golden Core Elders.
The group stealthily concealed themselves behind Crimson Scorpion Ridge, where Lyra cast a spell to shield the Golden Core Elder from detection.
A grave expression crossed her face as she cautioned before taking action, "According to the plan, the 3 of us—Eldrin, Lady Violet, and myself—will spearhead this assault."
I shall personally activate the 6 Heavens Dark Prison Pagoda to breach the formation, while Lady Yanzi will employ the Violet Cosmos Void-Traversing Mirror to suppress the teleportation array. With Eldrin eliminating our foes—
Eldrin listened quietly. Their objective was to dismantle the demon clan's teleportation network—specifically, to seize or destroy the Teleportation Array Disks located across a dozen or so of their spirit mountains. Whatever could not be taken away would be rendered useless.
As planned, once they secured the teleportation array, they would immediately use it to seize control of the next spirit mountain.
Teleportation formations, being crucial locations, were always protected by high-level arrays and powerful experts, making them generally difficult to breach within a short time.
Only the 3 of them, top-tier Golden Core cultivators comparable to Golden Core Perfection, could control the situation in an instant. This was precisely why Feiye the Nightbane (Person Name) had sought them out.
In truth, had it not been for the 6 Heavens Dark Prison Pagoda (Magic Treasure) breaking the formation, they could never have completely seized control of the array before the demon clan could react.
Eldrin and his 2 companions advanced toward the Spirit Mountain through the teleportation array. Once the teleportation was complete, the array disk required immediate disassembly and retrieval—a task entrusted to the remaining 10 Golden Core cultivators.
At this thought, Eldrin said, "The demonic spirit mountains near us, like Crimson Scorpion Ridge, are manageable. But the deeper we venture into the demon race's heartland, the more perilous their spirit mountains become."
"Once we enter, we must immediately dismantle the Teleportation Array Disk (Magic Treasure). You'll need to bring it back piece by piece."
"The heartlands of the demonic tribes are rather perilous, so you must be cautious."
Chen Changxuan gave a nod, then shook his head. "3 days from now, the Golden Core cultivators of Jizhou will assault the Void Gem (Spiritual Object) mine. The main force of the demonic tribes will be drawn to their offensive."
"As long as we dismantle the teleportation array, they won't be able to return anytime soon. Besides, we are all Golden Core cultivators. Even if we venture deep into the demon clan's territory, we should be fine as long as we don't get surrounded by other Golden Core experts."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they were venturing deep into the heart of demon territory, and the 1 tasked with returning alone with the teleportation formation would undoubtedly face considerable risks.
However, the thought that the main force of the demon race would be drawn by the Jizhou Golden Core cultivators outside the Void Gem (Spiritual Object) mine allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
After a moment of contemplation, Yan Ziji still spoke: "In that case, those with weaker cultivation should not venture too deep. Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) practitioners shall be prioritized for perimeter assignments."
"Moreover, once you obtain the Teleportation Array Disk (Magic Treasure), you must not linger in the demon race's sacred mountains. Do not covet the treasures upon those peaks."
"We understand."
Everyone nodded in agreement, then began meditating to restore their spiritual energy.
Ji Feiye set the agreed time. The Golden Core cultivators of Ji Zhou would assault the Void Gem (Spiritual Object) vein within 3 days. By then, the Ji Clan would also keep watch over the Demon Emperor of the demonic tribes.
By the time the demon race realized what was happening and dispatched Golden Core demon kings for reinforcement, they had already begun dismantling the demonic teleportation arrays 1 by 1.
That day, the group concealed themselves beyond the Crimson Scorpion Ridge, their expressions turning grave as they gazed upon the mountainous silhouette in the distance.
An unknowable span of time passed before Taiwu Zhenren (Person Name) calculated something on his fingers and remarked, "By this hour, the fighting must have already begun over at the Void Gem (Spiritual Object) mine."
"Not so fast."
Eldrin shook his head, his expression serene as he stated, "Let us wait another shichen. It would be wiser to strike only after the demon king's reinforcements have passed."
