My Fairy Growth System

Facing the furious strike of a supreme spiritual artifact long knife wielded by Xue Mei, a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, Yu Qingtan was not the slightest bit flustered, maintaining a distance with her fully developed Water Escape Technique.

Because Fang Ling's second Blood Sword Technique strike was already on its way, and Fu Nian too had activated a second-stage lightning charm, summoning a thundercloud above Xue Mei's head.

The speed of both the soul attack and the lightning strike was swift; Xue Mei instantly felt a pain in her brain, and the blood cocoon around her shattered into spiritual light due to the lightning strike and the delay in the supply of spiritual power.

Her strike with the blood knife was affected, easily evaded by Yu Qingtan.

However, it was not that Fang Ling and Fu Nian had recognized Yu Qingtan, they were simply pursuing their advantage.

It was Fang Ling and Fu Nian who recognized each other's spiritual power aura since both of them had helped Yu Qingtan when Yan Xi came to Tianxiang Pavilion to cause her trouble.

But the two were not acquainted and did not speak to each other, choosing instead to continue their attacks.

Fang Ling condensed a small blood-red sword and shot it electrically at Xue Mei, also a second-stage Blood Sword Technique.

As for the Blood Sword Technique, Fang Ling, who had only recently reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, found it somewhat strenuous to use two consecutively and deemed it unnecessary to use it again for the time being.

Fu Nian was forming a spell with hand signs, and a dense array of fire dots materialized above his head, raining down on Xue Mei, which was a fully developed second-stage Rain of Fire Technique.

The attacks from the other dozen or so loose cultivators had also arrived.

Faced with such attacks, Xue Mei showed fear, barely suppressing the pain in her soul, and sacrificed a blood-red bead, forming a red protective barrier.

At the same time, she took out a second-stage Escape Talisman and infused it with spiritual power.

However, after the Escape Talisman shone brightly, Xue Mei was not transported away.

It turned out to be a fake talisman—a failure so rare that even the talisman master themselves would think had been successfully created. It looked just like a regular talisman, but it was ineffective.

The probability of such a failure occurring was about the same as the appearance of an exceptionally talented cultivator with a single spiritual root.

"Bang~"

In disbelief, Xue Mei watched as the paper in her hand, targeted by the multitude of attacks, disintegrated into fragments.

Only her storage bag and spirit beast pouch were spared by being deliberately avoided and were captured by Fang Ling using the Object Controlling Technique.

"Let's support the other fellow cultivators first; we'll discuss the spoils of war after the battle," Fang Ling said, and the others had no objections.

The situation in the other smaller battle zones looked grim, with over twenty loose cultivators having fallen, and a dozen more had fled back to the forest in terror.

However, including Xue Mei, the demonic cultivators had also lost five of their own, two of whom were heavily injured by loose cultivators' self-destructs and then killed by a group.

Clearly, there was deep hatred between many of the loose cultivators and the demonic cultivators.

The battle situation immediately improved with the addition of Fang Ling, Fu Nian, and a dozen other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yu Qingtan then found the injured loose cultivators who had retreated from the battlefield. He cast a Rejuvenation Spell on each and a Purification Spell, giving a second-stage Healing Pill directly to those with severe injuries.

The injured dozen or so cultivators were suddenly revived, with nearly half of them returning to the battlefield.

Afterward, Yu Qingtan took out two spiritual artifact long swords and cast a group Devil's Penetrating Sound on the twenty-some demonic cultivators.

The three Foundation Establishment early-stage demonic cultivators who were still alive immediately became unstable in their souls, their spells disrupted, and their opponents seized the opportunity to beat them to death.

Since it was cast on a group, the power of Devil's Penetrating Sound was considerably reduced, but the middle-stage demonic cultivators had to divide their attention to suppress it, and the late-stage ones were also irritated.

The balance of victory suddenly tipped in favor of the loose cultivators.

After a dozen breaths, three fire pythons released by Gao Shen of the Extreme Path Demon Sect had been shattered, and four of the ten corpse puppets released by Chen Shi of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect had been broken. Two middle-stage demonic cultivators were also annihilated.

Both Gao Shen and Chen Shi themselves were being besieged by loose cultivators, fighting side by side with their respective spiritual beasts.

One was a Blazing Fire Lion and the other a Corpse Vulture.

Aside from beastmasters, generally, cultivators with the means would only cultivate one or two spiritual beasts as their assistants.

Most of the cultivators here had spiritual beasts with them, as they were necessary to brave Thousand Beasts Mountain; however, many cultivators had only found temporary spiritual beasts in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

Moreover, precisely because braving Thousand Beasts Mountain required spiritual beasts, Gao Shen and Chen Shi were initially reluctant to summon their own spiritual beasts to aid them, fearing they might get injured.

But at this moment, they could no longer care about that.

"Ah~"

Just then, a scream rang out from another battlefield.

Gao Shen and Chen Shi's expressions changed as they simultaneously extended their divine sense in that direction.

They saw, in another fighting ring, Ximen Qing from Red Dust Demon Sect lying on the ground, with five different-colored spiritual swords stuck in his forehead and abdomen, dead as dead can be.

The key point was that Ximen Qing was still clutching an activated second stage Escape Talisman in his hand.

"A Stabilizing Void Talisman!" Seeing the used talisman in Li Daoyi's hand from Cangqiong Sword Sect, Gao Shen and Chen Shi felt a jolt in their hearts.

Ximen Qing's Escape Talisman was not a fake; it had been countered by the very talisman that could subdue it, the Stabilizing Void Talisman.

Standing behind Li Daoyi were Yan Xi and others from Tianxiang Valley.

Yes, Yan Xi and the others had also taken action, or perhaps it was Yan Xi who had acted.

At the critical moment of the fight between Li Daoyi and Ximen Qing, she activated the final strike of her azure giant sword charm treasure, allowing Li Daoyi to use a powerful move and to prevent Ximen Qing from escaping with the Stabilizing Void Talisman, which led to Ximen Qing's death.

Li Daoyi withdrew his long sword and turned to look at Gao Shen and Chen Shi, clearly having enough energy left for another fight.

Gao Shen looked grim, then cast a spell on the Nine Pythons Mysterious Fire Cover to call back the six fire pythons from the battlefield to the cover, before leaping onto the back of the Blazing Fire Lion.

The Blazing Fire Lion charged towards Thousand Beasts Mountain with Gao Shen on its back.

He had chosen to take the best course in a desperate situation—retreat.

Seeing this, Chen Shi inwardly cursed, hastily calling back his Corpse Vulture, preparing to flee as well.

But at this moment, the loose cultivators were not about to let him off so easily, and in the end, Chen Shi could only call back three Corpse Vultures and make his way into Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The other demon cultivators, seeing their leaders dead or fleeing, also lost the will to fight and each used their abilities to escape.

The loose cultivators, with their morale greatly boosted, desperately tried to obstruct them, and in the end, only six demon cultivators managed to flee into Thousand Beasts Mountain.

But it was a pyrrhic victory for the loose cultivators, with over thirty fallen and nearly everyone wounded.

Yu Qingtan once again took on the role of a medical cultivator, using Rejuvenation Spells, Purification Spells, and Healing Pills to treat the wounded.

Many of those who had fought with Chen Shi's Corpse Vultures were poisoned with corpse poison, which ordinary Detoxification Pills couldn't cure, but Yu Qingtan's second-stage complete Purification Spell could just cleanse it away.

"Many thanks, Qing Daoist Friend!"

Amidst the gratitude of the loose cultivators, Yu Qingtan harvested a batch of charm points.

It should be noted that the charm points contributed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator were dozens of times that of a Qi Refining Cultivator. Explore stories at empire

"Many thanks, Li Daoist Friend!"

The cultivators from Tianxiang Valley, including Yan Xi, thanked Li Daoyi and then entered Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, on behalf of the loose cultivators, also thanked Li Daoyi and then requested that he oversee the distribution of the spoils according to contributions.

Li Daoyi agreed readily, and the cultivators accepted.

In the end, the distribution of the spoils satisfied almost everyone. The relatives and friends of the fallen received a much larger share of the spoils.

Those without relatives or friends got nothing.

The Cultivation World was always this brutal.

Afterwards, everyone entered Thousand Beasts Mountain together.
