When the Demon Clan discovered the ambush in their rear, more than ten third-tier Demonic Beasts had already been killed in the attack. Moreover, their assailants were elusive, making it impossible for them to defend effectively.

The dozens of Golden Core Cultivators in their rear were even more formidable than the cultivators on Yunxia Mountain because the battles on Yunxia Mountain were fought openly, with both sides engaging directly.

However, these Golden Core Cultivators in the rear did not engage in direct confrontation with them at all.

Upon receiving the news of the recent attack on a third-tier Demonic Beast, they immediately gathered dozens of third-tier Demonic Beasts and rushed to the scene.

Upon arriving at the scene, they found that the attackers had already taken away the Demonic Beast's corpse, leaving no trace behind.

Just then, in another direction, a lone third-tier Demonic Beast was ambushed and killed by a human Golden Core Cultivator.

After this incident, the third-tier Demonic Beasts of the Demon Clan could only travel in groups and were no longer willing to go alone.

Three more days passed without any lone third-tier Demonic Beasts being attacked.

However, these despicable human Golden Core Cultivators had shifted their focus to the lower-tier Demonic Beasts.

Whenever they found an opportunity, they would charge into the midst of the lower-tier Demonic Beasts from behind, cutting down one or two-tier Demonic Beasts in large numbers before leaving swiftly.

Due to the limited areas they could guard against ambushes, the attackers often found opportunities to strike.

During these few days, the number of lower-tier Demonic Beasts led by them had decreased by ten percent.

Originally, they had come to attack Yunxia Mountain with great momentum, but now they found themselves under attack from all sides.

This situation made the Demonic Beasts feel extremely frustrated. Fortunately, one day later, Qingyu Patriarch successfully resolved the Golden Crow Fire and returned to the battlefield.

The Golden Crow Fire could incinerate all things and was extremely overbearing. In order to deal with this fire, Qingyu Patriarch had paid a considerable price, aggravating the injuries that had not fully healed.

When it returned to the battlefield once again, it saw that several days had passed, yet there had been no progress in the attack on this side. It immediately urged all the Demonic Beasts to launch a full-scale attack on Yunxia Mountain.

The Human Clan cultivators on this side were unaware of Qingyu Patriarch's return. Seeing the Demonic Beasts launching a full-scale attack on Yunxia Mountain, the Golden Core Cultivators hiding in the rear saw an opportunity and decided to use their old tactics.

At this moment, the horde focused all their strength on launching a sustained and fierce attack on Yunxia Mountain.

A five-person team quietly emerged from a thicket of bushes. However, as they were about to attack the Demon Clan from behind, a middle-aged being suddenly appeared in front of them, with a fluffy tail behind it, smiling at them.

"Hehe! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The five individuals froze in their tracks, breaking out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the Demon Clan had set up an ambush long ago, and a fourth-tier Patriarch was waiting for them here.

Seeing this, the leader of the cultivators clenched their teeth and roared, "Attack!"

Following their command, the five individuals simultaneously summoned their Flying Swords and launched an attack. At this point, with fourth-tier Demonic Beasts in front of them, escaping was hopeless, and they decided to fight to the death.

Just as the five Flying Swords flew into the air, a shadow of a claw appeared in the sky, reaching out and firmly grasping all five Flying Swords.

Qingyu may have injured its claws and not fully recovered, or perhaps it had suffered a setback before and didn't want to be too careless, fearing another mishap. This time, instead of using its claws, it directly grabbed a magic weapon.

The flying swords of the five individuals struggled within the illusory shadow claw but to no avail.

As they watched another illusory claw form in the void and reach out towards them, one of the cultivators retrieved a crimson bead.

Just as the illusory claw was about to reach them, the bead was thrown, striking the shadow with a resounding crash before transforming into golden flames that engulfed and consumed the illusory claw.

Every Golden Core Cultivator of Yunxia Mountain possessed one of these crimson beads for moments of dire need.

Wang Hong had a considerable amount of Fusang Wood material, but refining this high-tier material was challenging, so they didn't produce a large quantity. The finished products, apart from the ones they kept for themselves, were distributed among their subordinates.

Qingyu secretly felt lucky, grateful for its cautiousness. However, it couldn't fathom where all this Golden Crow Fire was coming from. Despite being a fourth-tier Demon Clan member, it held deep respect for the power of Golden Crow Fire.

"Despicable! I want to see just how much Golden Crow Fire you have." Qingyu sneered, showing doubt that the Human Clan possessed a substantial amount of such natural treasures.

Immediately, Qingyu summoned two more illusory claws, aiming them at the five individuals. Using its demonic energy to conjure illusory claws consumed only a fraction of its power, while the five-person team on the other side had no choice but to use Golden Crow Fire to defend against such an attack.

Sure enough, the five individuals summoned two more crimson beads and hurled them towards the illusory claws and Qingyu's main body.

"Hehe! You think you can harm me?" Qingyu's face displayed a mocking expression. It swiftly moved over a hundred zhang away, faster than Wang Hong's shifting positions technique.

The crimson beads missed their target but curved back, chasing after Qingyu.

At this moment, a single hair from Qingyu's tail fell out, shooting like an arrow and striking one of the crimson beads. The bead shattered, unleashing a burst of Golden Crow Fire.

The commotion from their battle reached far, catching the attention of other Golden Core teams, who rushed to reinforce them. This group of assailants consisted of forty-six individuals, all under the command of SloppyOld Daoist.

As SloppyOld Daoist led a team of six towards the scene, they witnessed a desperate Golden Core Cultivator making a beeline for Qingyu, attempting to self-destruct their Golden Core to harm the enemy.

However, the cultivator was still over a hundred zhang away from Qingyu when an illusory claw captured them. With a deafening crash, the cultivator and the illusory claw turned into a dazzling radiant light. The shockwave from the Golden Core explosion sent Qingyu, hundreds of zhang away, recoiling.

In this short span of time, the Five people team had exhausted their life-saving Golden Crow Fire, with three members dead and only two survivors remaining.

"Monster! You will die!" SloppyOld Daoist shouted and led the six Golden Core Cultivators in an attack on Qingyu.

SloppyOld Daoist, once known as Chu Madman, was at the Golden Core late-stage cultivation level before he was injured. In the battle of Qingxu's retreat, he had exhausted all his power to compete with Nascent Soul cultivators.

Though he hadn't fully recovered to his peak strength, he still surpassed ordinary Golden Core Cultivators by a significant margin.

He summoned a black flying sword and struck towards Qingyu's main body. The six cultivators behind him fended off the illusory claws in the air, and for the moment, the battle remained evenly matched.

But moments later, Qingyu summoned another illusory palm to strike, and just as eight cultivators struggled to deal with it, two more teams arrived, totaling ten individuals who joined the fray.

Afterward, other teams also arrived, making a total of forty-three Golden Core Cultivators engaged in a collective battle against the fourth-tier Demonic Beast.
