Feng Qian and Bei Tianhan successfully eliminated two Middle Realm Demon Ancestors, turning the tide of battle against the Sky-Split Race. However, one Demon Ancestor escaped, pursued by Feng Qian. Meanwhile, the Sky-Split Race Demon Emperor, enraged by the losses, turned back towards the battlefield, pursued by an unknown Black Shadow.

As Weisheng Xingyu’s words fell, everyone’s expressions froze.

Followed by a thought that sprang up.

The Heaven-Covering Pavilion is in danger!

Wen Ping also followed with, "The play is over, you should return to the Sect first."

Long Yue was the first to show a look of disappointment.

Because what’s about to happen next was what she had been anticipating.

Going back now?

How disappointing.

"Sect Leader, can I stay and watch?" Long Yue’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Wen Ping responded, "Go to the Exhaustive Knowledge Tower, you can watch it there."

With that, sensing Feng Qian’s rapid return, Wen Ping piloted the Flying Ship towards Feng Qian.

Simultaneously activating the Teleportation Array.

Boom——

A sudden flash of white light descended.

Everyone was transported back to the Sect.

When the scene before them turned into the Sect, all eyes fell on Chen Xie, for the Exhaustive Knowledge Tower was his domain.

"Go!"

With that, Chen Xie led the charge towards the Exhaustive Knowledge Tower.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping, maneuvering the Flying Ship, brought Feng Qian back, yet did not leave the Black Domain. Because he still wanted to stir up more trouble for those in the Heaven-Covering Pavilion.

The Sky-Split Race had already lost one Middle Realm Demon Ancestor.

If the Heaven-Covering Pavilion didn’t lose one, it would be somewhat excessive.

The next moment, with a thought, Wen Ping retrieved from the Storage Ring a corpse of a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor from the Sky-Split Race — it was the A-level bloodline Demon Ancestor that Mu Long fetched back.

To avoid the situation like Feng Qian’s, Wen Ping directly brought out the strongest Demon Ancestor he could control at the moment.

At the same time, across various battlefields, Heaven-Covering Pavilion’s counterattack brought about even more ferocious strikes from the Sky-Split Race, leaving the Jiang family elder and others bitterly struggling.

No help for it.

The Sky-Split Race is vast in numbers.

Kill one, two come.

Kill two, seven or eight appear.

And there were even more Demon Ancestors in the Sky-Split Race. In the brief moment after their counterattack commenced, over twenty Demon Ancestors had joined the great war.

Heaven-Covering Pavilion’s Celestial Unrestricted experts, on average, one to two.

Although they wouldn’t lose in the short term, defeat was only a matter of time.

After the Jiang family elder struggled bitterly against two Demon Ancestors for half an hour, he immediately shouted to the Battle Division War God Kui Qing who was fighting below, "Kui family boy, hurry back to the base and inform the three Battle Division seniors of the situation, request them to support the front-line battlefield!"

The Jiang family elder glanced at Kui Qing still absorbed in fierce battle, feeling a surge of anger, with an urge to kick him.

In such a fierce battle, must he speak first to ask for help?

If he doesn’t need his eyes, just gouge them out!

Kui Qing suddenly realized, withdrawing from his bloodthirsty state, "Senior Jiang, I’ll go right away!"

With that, Kui Qing turned into a swift beam and hurriedly flew towards the rear base, giving a glare as he left at the countless demons at the back.

Despicable demons!

Wait for your doom!

By the time Kui Qing reached the base, it was already an hour later.

When Kui Qing explained the battle situation, the expressions of the three Heaven-Covering Pavilion Middle Realm experts suddenly changed.

However, it wasn’t anxiety.

But anger!

"What is Jiang Ping up to?"

"Wasn’t our order to retreat clear enough, or has his ear been bitten off by a dog?"

"We’ve said it a thousand times to retreat!"

The three were extremely angry, and their furious voices echoed throughout the base, even making the Battle Division experts outside the tent tremble uncontrollably.

Standing at the forefront of the wrath, Kui Qing wasn’t too worried.

Luckily!

Fortunately.

Thankfully it’s not me getting scolded.

Kui Qing made up a random lie, responding, "Three seniors, please calm down, we naturally follow orders! But the Sky-Split Race is fighting desperately, relentlessly pursuing us, determined to kill us, our men have no choice but to fight back."

With that, Kui Qing lowered his head.

Hoping for the three to calm down a bit.

Sure enough, after Kui Qing’s words, the emotions of the three gradually settled.

They stopped cursing the Jiang family elder.

Started cursing others instead.

"Those who run slow, let them die!"

"Do you know the enormous pressure we, the Heaven-Covering Pavilion, are under on the battlefield? If they don’t retreat, they will all die there!"

"A bunch of fools!"

Hearing this, Kui Qing fell silent.

He didn’t want to speak any further.

What use is there in saying more?

Those standing high above have never cared about the lives below.

Meanwhile, outside the base, more and more people rushed in requesting support. Without exception, all were sent by those Celestial Unrestricted experts.

The three Heaven-Covering Pavilion Middle Realm experts, cursing as they listened to the battle reports, could only helplessly retract the retreat order in the end.

"Brother Qi Yuan, Brother Jian Ze, we three will split up to support various battlefields, if we encounter Middle Realm Demon Ancestors from the Sky-Split Race, we’ll act accordingly." Among them, the elder with the most aged appearance, carrying a look of anger, announced the next course of action.

"That’s all we can do." Qi Yuan responded.

Jian Ze also spoke angrily, "What a bunch of fools! Fine, let’s do this, Brother Lu, we’ll split up."

With that, the three left the tent leisurely, then successively turned into swift beams flying towards the battlefield.

However, on the way, Jian Ze continued cursing.

"What a bunch of fools, can’t they see the Flame Celestial Capital has suffered a miserable defeat? All ten leading experts have lost, yet they insist on dragging me into the battlefield."

"If only we could hold on for a few more days, soon enough the higher-ups will send Upper Realm experts, then we can turn the tide and prevent unnecessary casualties!"

"But they insist on fighting!"

Just as Jian Ze was swearing and cursing, a hidden flying ship in the Sea of Clouds was quietly approaching him.

Above the flying ship, at a thousand-meter altitude, was the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race, whose demon body had been miniaturized, and was concealed by Pingping’s spiritual power shield.

As time progressed, the flying ship followed for an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, the flying ship suddenly accelerated toward Jian Ze.

When Jian Ze was only ten li away from the battlefield, and the flying ship was only two or three thousand zhang away from Jian Ze, Pingping spoke up.

"People with big tempers usually don’t have good luck. It’s you!"

With that, the concealed Middle Realm Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race suddenly dove down, covering the two or three thousand zhang instantly.

The spiritual power shield of Pingping also vanished.

The aura of the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Ancestor instantly spread out.

"Oh my god!"

Jian Ze was shocked, lifted his head, and immediately opened all five veins.

Boom—

Following this, the five veins vibrated simultaneously.

Boom—

The Vortex Map opened!

A giant sword crafted by the Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan instantly appeared in Jian Ze’s hand. Along with the synchronization of the Meridian Gate’s vibration, a large amount of Chaotic Gold Power erupted from the earth beneath, gathering on Jian Ze’s giant sword. Meanwhile, a vast veil of vein qi condensed behind him into a massive silhouette.

A colossal silhouette hundreds of zhang tall.

The silhouette held its giant sword, furiously engaging the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor manipulated by Pingping.

In the next moment.

Only a loud bang was heard.

Boom—

Heaven and Earth Shattering.

At this moment, the entire mountain range collapsed in unison.

The battlefield ten li away was also startled by this loud bang.

As for Pingping, he continued to linger in the sky, waiting for the end of the battlefield.

Jian Ze was not Flame Celestial.

He was not one of the top ten.

The Middle Realm Demon Ancestor under Pingping’s control.

Was not the Demon Ancestor who defeated Flame Celestial.

This one was stronger!

Moreover, the Necromancy’s amplification of power.

Killing Jian Ze in defeat probably won’t even take half an hour.

In half an hour, the reinforcements from the Heaven-Covering Tower won’t arrive, and even the Sky-Split Race can’t summon the Demon Emperor.

As time passed, the demon crowd of the Sky-Split Race saw a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor, who they did not recognize but carried the aura of the Sky-Split Race, suppressing the elite of the Heaven-Covering Tower.

All the demon crowd began to fight more courageously.

Meanwhile, the people of the Heaven-Covering Tower grew increasingly despondent.

"Are we going to lose again?"

"Why are the Demon Ancestors of the Sky-Split Race so strong?"

"If Senior Jian Ze loses too, what are we going to do?"

With wails rising everywhere, the Heaven Unrestricted expert who was fighting two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors went numb.

Hope arrived.

But it felt just like it hadn’t come.

Finally, the battle ended in a loud roar.

Boom—

The weakened Jian Ze was clawed into the ground by the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor controlled by Pingping, his whole skeleton shattered, and his aura increasingly feeble.

After doing all this, Pingping dove into the thick dust, collected Jian Ze’s corpse, and then manipulated the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor to fly straight into the sky and vanish from the battlefield.

"Now the Heaven-Covering Tower and the Sky-Split Race should be locked in a battle to the death, no going back, right?" After doing all this, Pingping finally had the thought of returning.

This way, it provided ample development time for the Demon Emperor Lake Demon Race.

Also, it put pressure on the Heaven-Covering Tower.

Ultimately, it gave time to the Immortal Sect.

Of course, this time would certainly be short.

Facing the Heaven-Covering Tower, the Sky-Split Race was ultimately too weak and being purged is only a matter of time.

However, by the time the Sky-Split Race gets purged, when the Immortal Sect faces the Heaven-Covering Tower again, the Immortal Sect should have an expert of the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm.

Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm, even the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Covering Tower seems to be at this realm.

Of course.

It only seems so.

Even the system hasn’t given a definitive answer, only saying it’s suspected.

That proves, no one in this world should know what realm the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Covering Tower is truly at now, or rather, no one has recorded the realm of the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Covering Tower; otherwise, the system should definitely be able to retrieve accurate information about the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Covering Tower, instead of using the word "suspected."

After completing all this, Pingping flew another hundred li, found a corner where no one or demon would notice, and used a Teleportation Array to return to the sect.

After returning to the sect, Pingping immediately went up to the Knowledge Tower.

"Sect Leader."

"Sect Leader."

The moment Pingping went upstairs, everyone stood respectfully to welcome Pingping.

No choice.

Even Wei Shengxingyu, who once served as Sect Leader of the Heaven-Covering Tower, couldn’t help but feel full of admiration.

In Heaven-Gazing Gorge, the only one who could orchestrate a conflict between the Sky-Split Race and the Heaven-Covering Tower from behind was none other than the Sect Leader.

Not even You Country could do it.

The means of You Country cannot compare to the Sect Leader in the slightest.

It’s still the same saying.

Who would have thought that one’s own people or demons died, yet weren’t completely dead.

Who could have foreseen the losses of the Heaven-Covering Tower and the Sky-Split Race, leading to significant gains for the Immortal Sect.

"Sect Leader, with your operation, the Heaven-Covering Tower and the Sky-Split Race may end up fighting to the bitter end. There isn’t even a chance for a ceasefire or negotiation." Chen Xie couldn’t help but sigh, and then dragged a chair over, serving Pingping to sit in the middle of the room.

Pingping responded calmly, "The waters of the Black Domain are best muddied. The muddier, the more stable we can establish ourselves in the Black Domain afterward. Okay, everyone continue to watch seriously. In the future, you might personally experience such wars; of course, it might only be perhaps."

(Thanks for the great support from the big shots...)
