After several Nascent Soul cultivators left Red Sea City.
Within a few days, Thunder Light Taoist, Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers, Dongyangzi, Jade Phoenix Fairy, and even True Yangzi of the True Yang Sect, who hadn't shown his face in this battle and had been in seclusion, as well as Red Devil Old Man of the Luo Demon Sect, all appeared.
The six great cultivators of the human race gathered in Sky Curtain City, and then the Great Priest of the alien demon race, Great Priest Luo Ming, Ancestor Flame Devil, and the three great cultivators of the alien demon race, Demonic Fiendess, also appeared in Sky Curtain City at the same time.
But it is said that they were not there for a life-and-death battle with the alien demon race, but to negotiate peace. The two sides negotiated a contract of non-aggression for a thousand years.
In half a month, the alien demon army that had occupied the Twelve Immortal Cities retreated wave after wave.
Zhang Ling was not surprised by this. This time, they were schemed against by the Ghost King Sect, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Ordinary cultivators were fine, but many high-level Golden Core cultivators were injured. In addition, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators fell, which can be described as a serious injury.
The alien demon race was not much better. Although the number of their Nascent Soul cultivators lost was smaller, it would be difficult to replenish them in three or four hundred years.
In addition to these losses, the high-level leaders on both sides must now know about the Three-Headed Underworld Serpent and the Rakshasa Woman.
The appearance of such powerful individuals exceeding the Nascent Soul cultivators posed a great threat to them, so naturally, they had no intention of fighting each other.
After staying in Red Sea City for another day, Zhang Ling revealed his identity and met the Nascent Soul City Lord stationed in the city. He successfully borrowed the teleportation array and returned to Sky Curtain City.
Senior Brother Tianfeng and others had indeed returned to Sky Curtain City. The cultivators of various factions in the city, both righteous and demonic, and the disciples of the sects of the Lin Hai Immortal Alliance, were also returning to their respective sect residences one after another.
It was a scene of post-war recuperation.
After meeting Senior Brother Tianfeng, Zhang Ling had a better understanding of the specific situation of this battle.
Previously, the two sides gambled on ten Immortal Cities. When the battle was in full swing, they suddenly could no longer receive any information from the Smoke Haze Immortal City.
The two sides immediately sent some people to investigate the news, and learned that the entire Smoke Haze City had been destroyed, and the cultivators in the city, whether from the human race or the alien demons, had disappeared without a trace.
When the two sides received this news, they were shocked and thought that the other side was playing tricks. As a result, the war became even more chaotic.
In a day or two, the alien demon race occupied an Immortal City. However, the human race's counterattack was also very fierce, and they regained three Immortal Cities. After all, they had a larger number of cultivators.
After fighting for three days and three nights, countless cultivators were killed and injured, and more than twenty Nascent Soul monsters were killed and injured. Only then did the two sides realize that something was wrong.
The war was slightly eased, but the large-scale siege warfare became a small-scale war.
Because, whether it was the human race cultivators who recaptured Smoke Haze City, or the alien demon cultivators who guarded the city, their disappearance was too strange. The dilapidated Smoke Haze City was filled with Yin Fiend evil energy, and a huge Yin Water River was hidden under the city.
Through the deduction of high-level cultivators and formation masters, it seemed that someone had set up an evil formation in Smoke Haze City, and killed many cultivators in one fell swoop.
It should be known that at that time, there were at least 200,000 alien demons and human race cultivators in Smoke Haze City. And most of them were elite disciples.
This was enough to shock the entire Northern Origin cultivation world. Both sides thought it was done by the opponent.
During this period, Thunder Light Taoist, Ancestor Flame Devil, and some Nascent Soul monsters who had gone mad with killing, fought fiercely again. It seemed that they had reached the point of no return.
Just when the two sides were at daggers drawn and were about to launch a large-scale war, the alien demon army suddenly retreated, and the battle line retreated ten thousand miles, mostly back to the edge of the Black Cloud Desert.
On the human race side, Thunder Light Taoist, Jade Phoenix Fairy, Dongyangzi and other high-level leaders seemed to have received some news. They did not blindly pursue and kill, and the war situation was temporarily eased.
At that time, Great Priest Luo Ming, Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers and others had just escaped danger and left the sea island with a strong Yin Fiend aura.
Through Senior Brother Tianfeng's narration, Zhang Ling learned that it was Great Priest Luo Ming and Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers who used secret techniques to send back the news of their encounters.
It was not until a month ago that these surviving cultivators gradually returned to Sky Curtain City.
The two sides then negotiated peace and ended the war.
At this time, the number of cultivators gathered in Sky Curtain City was several times more than usual. Most of the low-level cultivators showed joy. The war was over, and their battle merits could be exchanged for a lot of cultivation resources. There were many people who greatly increased their strength by using this batch of resources.
On the contrary, the Nascent Soul monsters mostly looked worried. The reason was naturally that they all understood the encounters of Zhang Ling and his group.
In addition, some sect ancestors and Supreme Elders had fallen. Although the news had not spread to the entire cultivation world, these high-level cultivators all knew the situation.
Of course, there were also some who gloated over the misfortune. The fall of some Nascent Soul monsters would reshuffle their forces. There were some undercurrents surging among the high-level cultivators, and it seemed that another bloody storm was about to occur.
As for the Three-Headed Underworld Serpent, the Red-Clothed Rakshasa Woman, and naturally including Blue Sparrow, three existences suspected of being in the Transformation God stage, this news has not spread on a large scale.
But Zhang Ling knew that the news could not be concealed for long. I am afraid that in a few days, at least all the Nascent Soul monsters would know about this news.
On the third day after returning to Sky Curtain City, Zhang Ling followed Ancestor Tianfeng, Old Man Huo and others to participate in a secret meeting.
The content of the discussion was not the great war with the alien demon race. It was about the situation of the Three-Headed Underworld Serpent and the Rakshasa Woman.
This meeting, Thunder Light Taoist, Dongyangzi, Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers, all six great cultivators of the human race participated without exception.
In a council hall on the top of Sky Curtain Mountain. There were as many as sixty or seventy Nascent Soul monsters. They were arguing and discussing inside.
"In my opinion, you people have made a wrong judgment. How can there be existences in the Transformation God stage in this world." An old man with a black face questioned.
"Hmph, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Chaos, South Sea Islands to take a look." Old Man Huo immediately retorted.
Zhang Ling sat in a corner expressionlessly, without any intention of participating in the discussion.
Some old monsters said that these survivors had exaggerated the danger. The entire Northern Origin cultivation world had not had news of Transformation God cultivators for ten thousand years. They did not believe that existences in the Transformation God stage had really appeared.
Some cultivators did not take it seriously, saying that even if there were existences in the Transformation God stage, there was no need to be afraid. Just don't provoke them.
After all, even Transformation God stage cultivators are not invincible. In ancient times, many cultivators had gathered together, and relied on the power of formations to exhaust the ancient demons in the Transformation God stage to death.
During the discussion, Thunder Light Taoist also said that there were indeed some ancient books left in Sky Curtain City, recording this kind of formation. The most famous one was a set of Heavenly Dipper Sealing Yuan Formation, gathering thirty-six cultivators above the middle stage of Nascent Soul, relying on the power of the formation, could temporarily seal the heaven and earth spiritual energy in a space.
Achieving the purpose of preventing Transformation God cultivators from mobilizing the heaven and earth vitality. Once they cannot mobilize the heaven and earth vitality, no matter how powerful the Transformation God cultivators are, they can be dragged to death by a large number of cultivators.
However, some people disagreed, saying that it was easy to set up the formation, but Transformation God cultivators would not obediently enter it and let others slaughter them.
Some people even suggested that they should take this opportunity to unite with the alien demon cultivators, and then go to explore the ghost mist island in the sea, hunt down Transformation God cultivators. Explore the secrets of the existence of the Transformation God stage.
This idea was very crazy, and Zhang Ling was also shocked when he heard it. The person who made this suggestion was the Red Devil Old Man of the Moro Sect.
There were also several old monsters who supported this opinion.
In the end, Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers rejected it with one sentence. "If they are Transformation God cultivators of this world, I might consider your suggestion. But I think they are likely not cultivators of our human world."
Senior Brother Tianfeng and Old Man Huo also echoed, agreeing with Old Devil of a Hundred Flowers.
The few people who had actually seen the Three-Headed Underworld Serpent and the Rakshasa Woman could roughly judge that they were not human world cultivators. Then the variables that exist are very large.
Some people even held a pessimistic attitude, saying whether there were alien demons who wanted to occupy the human world again.
After discussing for a while, Thunder Light Taoist finally came up with a plan. He said that the Immortal City would come forward and unite with the alien demon race to organize another group of people to investigate the Yin Qi island clearly.
At the same time, he warned everyone that it was best not to act rashly during this period, so as not to attract great disasters. This matter was considered to be over.
There was also a small episode during the discussion, mentioning the culprit, the Ghost King Sect. Everyone did not have a good face, and unanimously agreed to search for the remnants of the Ghost King Sect.
Whether the Ghost King Sect still has other cultivators, they will have no possibility of establishing a foothold in the Northern Origin cultivation world in the future.
In fact, when Zhang Ling had just returned to this city, he had secretly sent a message talisman to Thunder Light Taoist. He told this person in detail about the situation of the Three-Headed Underworld Serpent and the Rakshasa Woman.
Among them, it included the Rakshasa Woman's last warning, that human race cultivators must not set foot there within three hundred years.
As for whether Thunder Light Taoist believed it or not, it was not something he could control. And whether the Rakshasa Woman would really harm this world was also unknown.
In the following days, most of the Nascent Soul monsters also left one after another. Zhang Ling also left Sky Curtain City on the sixth day and returned to the sect.
Senior Brother Tianfeng was still staying in Sky Curtain City. Discussing a major event that would benefit the sect. This matter also had a certain relationship with Zhang Ling.
Thunder Light Taoist had specially met with him and Senior Brother Tianfeng, asking them whether the Hao Yuan Sect was willing to rebuild Smoke Haze City.
Ancestor Tianfeng was naturally very happy, and Zhang Ling did not object to this. If the sect could control an Immortal City, it would be very beneficial to the sect's development.
Why would such a good thing fall on the Hao Yuan Sect?
Thunder Light Taoist said that most of their group of cultivators were forces near Smoke Haze City, and they suffered the most losses this time. Especially the loss of Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Hao Yuan Sect, in fact, is now one of the few forces in the area near Smoke Haze City that still retains three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Moreover, Old Man Huo had specially recommended them, which was also the most important reason. Although Zhang Ling was a little surprised, after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
During this period, he also got the high-grade water spirit stone that he had promised from Thunder Light Taoist as he wished.
Although this high-grade water spirit stone had consumed a lot of spiritual power due to this battle, as long as it was placed in a high-grade spiritual vein and nurtured for seventy or eighty years, although it might not be able to recover to its complete spiritual power, it would be enough for Blue Sparrow to recover half of its spiritual power.
At the same time, under the recommendation of Thunder Light Taoist, Zhang Ling also met Dongyangzi once. This person really had a piece of Taiyi Gold Essence in his hand.
He spent a ninth-order water attribute demon core, and a fourth-grade water light grass with a medicinal age of two thousand years, and exchanged it for the Taiyi Gold Essence from his hand.
This ninth-order water attribute demon core was still obtained by Blue Sparrow when he gave him spiritual power, and his strength increased to the late stage of Nascent Soul, taking this opportunity to kill an ancient beast in that sea area.
Zhang Ling originally did not want to exchange the ninth-order demon core, but as soon as he saw Dongyangzi, he said that he would only exchange for water attribute high-grade materials, otherwise he would not talk about it.
In view of this person's strength, and the re-refining of the Ancient Black Claw only lacked this one material. If he gave up, he did not know how long he would have to wait to collect it.
He could only suffer a small loss to exchange it.
After returning to the sect, he met with Senior Brother Lin Fei once. The sect was still stable during the war and nothing major happened.
After communicating with Senior Brother Lin for half a day, and informing him of some specific situations of the end of the war.
Zhang Ling returned to the cave to retreat.
