In Azure Void City, the news of Qing Fox Patriarch's demise at the hands of Yunxia Mountain in the battle at Yunxia Mountain struck like thunder on a clear day.

At first, no one believed it. Qing Fox Patriarch, a formidable four-tier Demonic Beast, was not easily defeated, even in battles among peers. Typically, battles between four-tier Demonic Beasts were intense, shrouded in darkness, and often ended without a clear victor.

Moreover, at this Realm, even if one could defeat their opponent, ensuring their demise was exceedingly difficult.

If a four-tier Demonic Beast chose to flee, even peers found it challenging to stop them.

In the previous brutal war between the Cultivation World and the Demon Clan, few Nascent Soul cultivators or four-tier Demonic Beasts fell in battle, and this was the reason.

They were unaware that Wang Hong had led over seventy Golden Core Cultivators in besieging Qingyu. They had over twenty injured individuals and several casualties during the battle.

When the Demon Clan in Azure Void City finally confirmed that Qing Fox Patriarch had indeed been slain by Yunxia Mountain cultivators, they found it hard to accept this reality.

They couldn't comprehend how Yunxia Mountain cultivators had achieved this. According to reports, the highest cultivation level among Yunxia Mountain was only at the Golden Core stage, with no Nascent Soul cultivators. Facing a four-tier Demonic Beast seemed like a death sentence.

However, the facts were now undeniable, and they had more pressing concerns.

Because Yunxia Mountain cultivators would undoubtedly not spare Qingxu Mountain Range, and they certainly wouldn't spare Azure Void City.

Furthermore, there was news that Yunxia Mountain cultivators had ransacked the Qing Fox clan's stronghold in Qingxu Mountain Range.

This made Azure Void City appear even more perilous. These cunning Demonic Beasts had already packed their belongings and were preparing to flee the city.

One such clever individual was a second-tier Black Ape, who had realized the danger. After securing its most valuable Spiritual Objects, it even looted two small shops before leaving. Since it was leaving anyway, it didn't mind causing a little trouble.

With a pile of wealth in tow, the second-tier Black Ape safely slipped out of the city. As it glanced back at Qing Fox City, it felt a certain sense of intellectual superiority.

However, just as it had left the city, it had not gone far before encountering a Black-robed cultivator. Judging from the aura emanating from the cultivator, they were a Golden Core Cultivator.

Before it could escape or plead for mercy, it was beheaded with a single stroke. The Black-robed cultivator then disappeared into the roadside.

It turned out that the Immortal Way Trading Company had already sealed off Azure Void City, allowing no one to enter or exit.

When Wang Hong and a group of Golden Core Cultivators arrived at Azure Void City, there was no defense left.

As they entered Azure Void City, they found only a small number of low-tier Demonic Beasts remaining, looking dull and listless.

Other Demonic Beasts had either participated in the battle and been taken away or had fled and been killed outside the city. Azure Void City was now an empty shell.

Having successfully taken over Azure Void City, they began searching the city for valuable items.

As a major city under Qing Fox's control, Azure Void City thrived with commerce, and its resources were abundant.

This time, Wang Hong essentially plundered an entire Cultivation City, and the various Spiritual Objects they obtained brought him great satisfaction.

"Zhang Chunfeng, send a message for everyone to gather in Azure Void City for a meeting two days from now," Wang Hong ordered with a smile on his face.

Two days later, all the Yunxia Mountain cultivators had gathered in Azure Void City.

Azure Void City could accommodate over a million people, but with a few thousand present, it still felt desolate.

In the center of Azure Void City stood the City Lord's Mansion, with a vast square in front of it. Wang Hong had signed up for Qingxu Sect on this square when he had joined the sect years ago.

Now, several decades had passed, and Wang Hong returned to this square, overwhelmed with emotions.

Back then, he had been a Qi Cultivation novice with no control over life and death. He had joined Qingxu Sect from this very spot.

He remembered asking a Taihao Sect cultivator to help him with a favor involving Feng Xin.

Now, he was a Golden Core late-stage cultivator who had just led his followers in slaying a four-tier Demonic Beast and reclaiming Qingxu Sect's former territory.

He looked at the neatly organized group of subordinates on the square and spoke out loud:

"Everyone, after more than a month of continuous battles, we have finally defeated the Qing Fox clan, slain Qing Fox Patriarch, and recaptured Azure Void City. All of these achievements are the result of your tireless efforts.

In this battle, we lost ten Golden Core Cultivators, two hundred Foundation Building cultivators, and countless Mortal members. All the merits and compensation for the fallen cultivators will be transferred to their immediate families."

He then announced the merits and compensation each fallen cultivator would receive.

After addressing the deceased, he moved on to reward those who had merited in the battle.

The victory they had achieved was the result of everyone's hard work, so each individual had contributed.

Among them, some cultivators had particularly outstanding performances and received generous rewards.

These rewards varied based on the magnitude of their contributions, with most of them being cultivation-enhancing pills.

The most enticing part of these rewards was the opportunity for Foundation Building cultivators to advance to Core Building.

Those Golden Core Cultivators who had demonstrated exceptional performance also had the chance to advance to Nascent Soul.

Although Yunxia Mountain did not have any Nascent Soul cultivators at the moment, they now controlled Qingxu Mountain Range and had access to a wide variety of Spiritual Objects, so there might be opportunities in the future.

After announcing all the reward details, Wang Hong continued, "From now on, our headquarters will be relocated to Qingxu Mountain Range, the original site of Qingxu Sect.

Here, we have a large Spirit Vein and a powerful mountain protection formation, making it a hundred times stronger than Yunxia Mountain.

"East Master, what should we do about Yunxia Mountain if we all move here? And how should we handle those recently discovered Demon Clan nests?" Xu Lun inquired. He knew the value hidden in Yunxia Mountain and the new Demon Clan nests, and they couldn't afford to ignore them.

"Since we don't have enough manpower now to defend such a large territory, I plan to categorize these areas into two types.

One type includes areas with only Spirit Veins and no other mineral resources. We will move all these Spirit Veins, supplementing some into Qingxu Mountain Range's Spirit Veins.

The other type includes areas with good Spirit Veins and spirit ore deposits. We will station some people there long-term, and we will also move nearby Spirit Veins to make sure they can enjoy abundant Spirit Qi while stationed there.

As for moving the Spirit Veins, I'll trouble Senior Brother Chu with this task."

Sloppy Old Daoist was the most skilled in formations and well-suited for relocating Spirit Veins.
