Chapter 618
by fanqienovelChapter 618: Destruction and Surrender
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the relentless assault of the five giant elephants, the protective formation of Feixu Valley quickly became precarious. The magical barrier sealing the valley entrance dimmed significantly, teetering on the edge of collapse.
The mindset of the cultivators in Feixu Camp was on the brink of breaking!
They longed to flee, but the surrounding space was sealed off by the great beasts, and most of the cultivators couldn’t bear to abandon their families.
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure.
The giant elephants paid no heed to the cultivators’ anguish and torment. They calmly withstood the storm of magical attacks, maintaining a steady and methodical rhythm in their assault.
Resolute and unyielding!
Just as Feixu Valley seemed destined for utter ruin, the once-clear skies abruptly darkened. Storm clouds gathered rapidly, and streaks of purple lightning flashed across the heavens.
Accompanied by the rumbling thunder, a powerful aura filled the air.
“Master Mu!”
The nearly despairing cultivators of Feixu Camp were instantly reinvigorated.
The reason they had held on until now, aside from having no retreat, was that they still had a trump card.
The leader of Feixu Camp, Master Mu!
This Golden Core true master had established the camp with thousands of loose cultivators, demonstrating both formidable strength and cunning strategy.
Most of the cultivators trusted him implicitly.
In these critical moments, Master Mu did not disappoint!
A figure clad in gray-white robes appeared above Feixu Valley, standing amidst the thunder and clouds, his robe billowing gracefully as he exuded an air of authority.
“May I ask, esteemed ones, why do you attack my Feixu Camp?”
Master Mu’s voice carried clearly to everyone’s ears, even reaching Wang Chen, who was two to three dozen miles away.
“I, Mu Rong, have never offended the Wu Xiang family!”
“Never offended?”
As soon as Master Mu finished speaking, a rough voice suddenly boomed, “Mu Rong, do you still remember what happened in Wild River Valley thirty years ago?”
Before them, a giant elephant stirred up a black wind, its massive form shrinking and transforming in an instant into a nine-foot muscular man with a broad back and an elephantine trunk.
The muscular man glared furiously at Master Mu in the sky and shouted, “You and your companions killed seven of my kin!”
Faced with the muscular man’s accusation, Master Mu’s expression turned grim.
He was at a loss for words.
He had never imagined that the trouble he had caused all those years ago would lead to such catastrophic consequences!
Realizing there was no possibility of compromise with the giant elephants, this Golden Core true master swiftly drew a blue-purple long banner and brandished it at the nine-foot muscular man.
“Command!”
As he spoke, thunderous light erupted, and hundreds of bolts of lightning descended from the sky, enveloping all five great beasts, including the nine-foot muscular man.
At the same time, thousands of points of spiritual light surged from Feixu Valley into Master Mu, instantly merging within his body.
His form suddenly expanded.
In the next moment, this Golden Core transformed into a streak of flowing light, forcefully breaking through the spatial restrictions set by the giant elephants and darting southeast.
“Trying to escape?”
The nine-foot muscular man erupted in anger and immediately soared into the sky, chasing Master Mu through the falling thunder.
Two giant elephants followed closely behind!
Meanwhile, Master Mu, in his escape, had left the entire Feixu Camp’s cultivators in a terrible situation.
The protective formation of Feixu Valley was already struggling, and Master Mu’s action was akin to pulling the firewood from under the pot, absorbing the backlash from the formation to break free; it was utterly ruthless!
The magical barrier at the valley entrance vanished instantly, leaving the cultivators of Feixu Camp and their home completely defenseless before the two giant elephants.
Everyone looked at each other, despair evident in their eyes.
The once fierce battlefield suddenly fell silent.
The two giant elephants also halted their attacks, and one of them rumbled, “Kneel down and seal your magic, and we may spare your lives; otherwise…”
It lifted its massive right leg and stomped down fiercely.
Where its foot landed, the ground instantly caved in over ten feet deep, causing violent tremors; the surrounding peaks shivered in response!
This stomp from the giant elephant not only intimidated the thousands of cultivators from Feixu Camp but also collapsed the tunnels deep underground!
It effectively cut off their last escape route.
In truth, the thousands of loose cultivators could have fought bravely against the two giant elephants with a fearless spirit; they might have had a slim chance.
However, if it came to that point, countless lives would be lost!
No one wished to sacrifice their lives for others, and the nature of loose cultivators determined their choice.
As one cultivator sealed his cultivation level and knelt down, feeling defeated, the others quickly followed, showing no further resistance.
With Master Mu fleeing, who everyone had placed their hopes on, the protective formation of Feixu Valley could no longer shield them or their families; beyond kneeling in surrender, what other choice did they have?
Hundreds and thousands of cultivators knelt on the ground, forming a dark mass!
“Roar~”
A giant elephant raised its head and trumpeted a deafening roar.
This was the call of victory.
Soon, dark shadows appeared in the background and rushed towards Feixu Valley.
These shadows were none other than wolf beasts with human bodies and wolf heads!
Wolf beasts were a particularly special existence among the demons, said to be a combination of cultivators and wolf demons, possessing human cunning and wolfish ferocity, with high reproductive capabilities.
Wolf beasts held a low status among the demons, often resembling the role of servants or cannon fodder.
They usually aligned themselves with a powerful demon clan, obediently serving their commands in exchange for protection and leftovers.
These wolf beasts were clearly brought by the giant elephants; there were hundreds of them, each bearing fierce expressions, with rough ropes made of tree bark wrapped around their arms.
Under the watch of the two Golden Core level great beasts, the wolf beasts charged into Feixu Valley like fierce gods.
They bound the surrendering cultivators with their ropes, stringing them together.
Many wolf beasts invaded the cultivators’ homes, hunting for those who were hiding.
Some even infiltrated the discovered tunnels!
Shouts, cries, wails, and curses shattered the original tranquility of Feixu Valley.
Strings of cultivators were dragged out by the wolf beasts, lined up outside the valley, like slaves waiting to be chosen by buyers!
Some cultivators, unwilling to endure humiliation, attempted to resist, only to be ruthlessly killed immediately.
With their bodies reduced to nothing!
After all the chaos, the camp in Feixu Valley was leveled to the ground.
The personal wealth that belonged to the cultivators was completely plundered by the wolf beasts.
The drained cultivators greeted their new masters!
One flying ship, two flying ships, three flying ships landed in the clearing outside Feixu Valley.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Chen quietly retreated into the tunnel.
