Deep beneath the Hunyuan Continent, the Four Demon Sovereigns gathered.
"It's been over a year, and the Six Great Families and Four Hidden Sects have shown no movement. According to the Demon Lord's latest instructions, it's time to launch a frontal assault," said Dark Wing Demon Sovereign.
"Shouldn't we wait a bit longer? If we calculate the time, the souls of those ten old fellows should be dissipating soon," Dark Sky Demon Sovereign frowned upon hearing this.
"We can only obey the Demon Lord's orders," Dark Wing Demon Sovereign shook his head. "Moreover, the Demon Lord has already reached the peak of the Hunyuan Realm. Even if those ten old fellows have special means, what can they do? Mere residual souls are nothing to fear."
"If that's the case, then let's make arrangements," Dark Wing Demon Sovereign nodded.
Several days later, a silent invasion suddenly broke out.
Town Prison.
Li Xuan, who was also cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. His figure then moved, leaving the Town Prison.
Not only that, but Li Baiyi and the other ten were also brought out of the first level of the Town Prison by Li Xuan.
"The Demon Race truly can't sit still!" Gu Tianxuan said with a grave expression, glancing at the densely packed demon army outside Danyang City.
"If we calculate the time, it's been less than two years. For the Demon Race to make a move now, there might be other changes," Li Baiyi said after a moment of silence.
"Regardless of the circumstances, we must still fight. Young Master, how is their cultivation progressing?" Gong Aihua asked, looking at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this. With a thought, he brought Li Tieyi and the others out of the Town Prison.
Of course, only seven of the ten appeared. The other three were still in the midst of a breakthrough, and Li Xuan would not interrupt them.
"Four of them have reached the intermediate Hunyuan Realm. It seems this period of closed-door cultivation was not in vain," Li Baiyi nodded slightly upon seeing this.
The Six Great Families were the Li family, Gu family, Gong family, Zhao family, Wang family, and Xue family.
The Four Hidden Sects were the Nangong family, Xuanyuan family, Ximen family, and Situ family.
The four who broke through to the intermediate Hunyuan Realm were Li Tieyi of the Li family, Gu Zhengqi of the Gu family, Xuanyuan Jingting of the Xuanyuan family, and Situ Wujiu of the Situ family.
The other three, although they had not yet broken through, had significantly strengthened their auras. Reaching the intermediate Hunyuan Realm was only a matter of time.
More importantly, there were still three individuals in the Town Prison at the critical juncture of their breakthrough. Once they succeeded, there would be a total of six experts at the intermediate Hunyuan Realm.
"Let's focus on making arrangements to respond. The demon army has already acted. No matter what their plan is, we'll only know after we fight," Li Xuan said, looking at everyone.
"Yes!" Li Baiyi and the others nodded in agreement.
The next moment, they all departed. Li Xuan stood in place, watched for a moment, and then with a thought, entered the Town Prison.
"Little Pen, how much more time do they need?" Li Xuan asked, looking at the three individuals.
"At this rate, it will take about half a month," the Heavenly Dao Brush, floating beside Li Xuan, replied.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. Half a month was negligible in terms of the time in the outside world. This way, their chances of winning would be greater.
"Prison Spirit," Li Xuan's thoughts stirred, and he called out.
"Master." As soon as Li Xuan spoke, the Prison Spirit appeared before him.
"Send them out after they break through," Li Xuan said, looking at the three.
"Yes," the Prison Spirit nodded in agreement.
The next moment, Li Xuan vanished from the Town Prison.
With the war already ignited, Li Xuan naturally had to go out and help. After nearly two years of cultivation in the outside world, Li Xuan had broken through to the initial Hunyuan Realm.
Although there was still a long way to go to reach the intermediate Hunyuan Realm, Li Xuan's current strength was enough to contend with experts at the intermediate Hunyuan Realm.
Boom.
As soon as Li Xuan left the Town Prison and appeared, he was drawn by a booming sound.
He saw Li Tieyi and a demon expert retreating from each other. The violent spiritual energy around them whipped up terrifying storms.
"I didn't expect some of you to break through to the intermediate Hunyuan Realm in less than two years. You've underestimated me," Dark Sky Demon Sovereign snorted. "However, even so, I will take your head today!"
"If you want my head, you'd better see if you have the strength for it!" Li Tieyi sneered and his spear suddenly appeared in his hand.
"I alone naturally cannot defeat you. However, do you think I would fight you one-on-one?" Dark Sky Demon Sovereign's tone remained slow as he floated in front of Li Tieyi.
Besides him, another Demon Sovereign approached.
"Damn it!" Li Tieyi's expression became grave as he saw the other Demon Sovereign appear.
The Demon Race had a total of four intermediate Hunyuan Realm experts, while the Six Great Families and Four Hidden Sects had only three. The previous Dark Flame Demon Sovereign had not made a move, and with the current stalemate, he was ready to intervene. Li Tieyi knew he was no match for two opponents.
"Patriarch Li, I'll handle this one." Li Xuan moved to Li Tieyi's side, his gaze locking onto Dark Flame Demon Sovereign.
"This..." Li Tieyi hesitated. Li Xuan was currently only at the initial Hunyuan Realm, and his status was extremely noble. If anything were to happen to him, they would lose even if they won the battle.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Xuan naturally saw Li Tieyi's concern. With a thought, his Shijian appeared in his hand.
"You, at the initial Hunyuan Realm, actually want to interfere in our battle? Dark Flame Demon Sovereign, teach this brat a lesson. Let's finish quickly and not delay the important matters," Dark Sky Demon Sovereign said after glancing at Li Xuan.
"Just an initial Hunyuan Realm cultivator, it won't take much time," Dark Flame Demon Sovereign grinned sinisterly.
"Dark Flame Demon Sovereign, be careful, lest you capsize in the gutter," Dark Sky Demon Sovereign said with a slight frown, seeing Li Xuan's confident demeanor.
"I suggest you listen to him. It won't be good if you really capsize in the gutter," Li Xuan smiled.
"What arrogant talk! I'd like to see if your strength matches your words!" Hearing Li Xuan's words, Dark Flame Demon Sovereign let out a cold laugh.
In his eyes, Li Xuan, a spirit master who had just entered the Hunyuan Realm, was undoubtedly the weakest existence within the Hunyuan Realm.
To speak such arrogant words now, in the eyes of Dark Flame Demon Sovereign, was simply a provocation. As soon as Dark Flame Demon Sovereign finished speaking, his demonic energy surged.
The next moment, the demonic energy around Dark Flame Demon Sovereign spun rapidly, forming three streams of demonic energy that shot towards Li Xuan.
Not only that, but after these three streams of demonic energy were unleashed, Dark Flame Demon Sovereign instantly disappeared from his original spot.
Li Xuan remained unfazed. As the three streams of demonic energy were about to arrive, he flicked his Shijian.
"One Sword Shatters All Arts!"
