Chapter 509: Discussing Merits
In Azure Void City, the news of Qing Fox Patriarch's demise at the hands of Yunxia Mountain in the battle at Yunxia Mountain struck like thunder on a clear day.
At first, no one believed it. Qing Fox Patriarch, a formidable four-tier Demonic Beast, was not easily defeated, even in battles among peers. Typically, battles between four-tier Demonic Beasts were intense, shrouded in darkness, and often ended without a clear victor.
Moreover, at this Realm, even if one could defeat their opponent, ensuring their demise was exceedingly difficult.
If a four-tier Demonic Beast chose to flee, even peers found it challenging to stop them.
In the previous brutal war between the Cultivation World and the Demon Clan, few Nascent Soul cultivators or four-tier Demonic Beasts fell in battle, and this was the reason.
They were unaware that Wang Hong had led over seventy Golden Core Cultivators in besieging Qingyu. They had over twenty injured individuals and several casualties during the battle.
When the Demon Clan in Azure Void City finally confirmed that Qing Fox Patriarch had indeed been slain by Yunxia Mountain cultivators, they found it hard to accept this reality.
They couldn't comprehend how Yunxia Mountain cultivators had achieved this. According to reports, the highest cultivation level among Yunxia Mountain was only at the Golden Core stage, with no Nascent Soul cultivators. Facing a four-tier Demonic Beast seemed like a death sentence.
However, the facts were now undeniable, and they had more pressing concerns.
Because Yunxia Mountain cultivators would undoubtedly not spare Qingxu Mountain Range, and they certainly wouldn't spare Azure Void City.
Furthermore, there was news that Yunxia Mountain cultivators had ransacked the Qing Fox clan's stronghold in Qingxu Mountain Range.
This made Azure Void City appear even more perilous. These cunning Demonic Beasts had already packed their belongings and were preparing to flee the city.
One such clever individual was a second-tier Black Ape, who had realized the danger. After securing its most valuable Spiritual Objects, it even looted two small shops before leaving. Since it was leaving anyway, it didn't mind causing a little trouble.
With a pile of wealth in tow, the second-tier Black Ape safely slipped out of the city. As it glanced back at Qing Fox City, it felt a certain sense of intellectual superiority.
However, just as it had left the city, it had not gone far before encountering a Black-robed cultivator. Judging from the aura emanating from the cultivator, they were a Golden Core Cultivator.
Before it could escape or plead for mercy, it was beheaded with a single stroke. The Black-robed cultivator then disappeared into the roadside.
It turned out that the Immortal Way Trading Company had already sealed off Azure Void City, allowing no one to enter or exit.
When Wang Hong and a group of Golden Core Cultivators arrived at Azure Void City, there was no defense left.
As they entered Azure Void City, they found only a small number of low-tier Demonic Beasts remaining, looking dull and listless.
Other Demonic Beasts had either participated in the battle and been taken away or had fled and been killed outside the city. Azure Void City was now an empty shell.
Having successfully taken over Azure Void City, they began searching the city for valuable items.
As a major city under Qing Fox's control, Azure Void City thrived with commerce, and its resources were abundant.
This time, Wang Hong essentially plundered an entire Cultivation City, and the various Spiritual Objects they obtained brought him great satisfaction.
"Zhang Chunfeng, send a message for everyone to gather in Azure Void City for a meeting two days from now," Wang Hong ordered with a smile on his face.
Two days later, all the Yunxia Mountain cultivators had gathered in Azure Void City.
