Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 466:
Yun State, Anhua City
Lin Die was tending to her beautiful flowers at home, while Zhou Huaiying was helping out. They seemed undisturbed by the outside world.
"*Drip*"
Suddenly, the water pot in Zhou Huaiying’s hand dropped, his eyes turned red. He stared at the closed door as if he could see through it.
"*Gasps*"
In the next moment, Zhou Huaiying screamed in pain and rolled on the floor.
"Don’t hurt my flowers, or you’ll face the consequences," Lin Die said calmly.
Lin Die’s calm words filled Zhou Huaiying with even more terror. Despite the pain, he dared not roll on the floor and just gritted his teeth.
One hour later, Zhou Huaiying, sweating heavily, lay on the ground panting like a dog, unwilling to move.
"See, I told you, the curse from the Blood Demon Manual can be resolved without taking any potions, do you believe me now?"
"I believe you."
Zhou Huaiying was at a loss, the side effects of the Blood Demon Manual were truly resolved by Lin Die, through a painful method.
The side effect of the Blood Demon Manual would make him lose his mind, turning into a devil only obsessed with killing. Once cursed, his thirst for blood and flesh would continuously grow. Pain helps to keep one calm, so every time this happens, Lin Die would use enslaving magic to make Zhou Huaiying suffer beyond imagination.
Magic clash!
"Since you believe me, get up and go out to buy me some flowers, make sure they are beautiful and brightly colored."
"Lin Die, don’t you care about what’s happening outside? Do you know what kind of chaos is going on out there now?"
"Does it concern me?"
"Even your own brother and sister are fighting."
"And then?"
"You…"
Zhou Huaiying was unsure how to respond for a moment. He was tough but not heartless. Lin Die sometimes seemed devoid of emotions, yet other times cherished family so deeply. What was going on with her?
"Stop talking nonsense and go buy flowers."
"Lin Die, I beg of you something."
"Spit it out."
"Let me regain my strength, let me seek revenge, and after I’ve avenged, my life will be yours."
"Your life is already mine."
"In the future, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
"I am telling you to go east now, will you dare to go west?"
"No, Lin Die, don’t you understand what I mean? Let me seek revenge, and I will serve you devotedly without any complaints, not thinking about escaping or harming my master."
"That can be considered. In a few days, go to Yunzhong City, where there is enough essence blood for you to consume."
"Thank you."
Zhou Huaiying was very happy. When he regains his strength, it’s not certain who will be the master and who will be the servant.

Bing State, Yuya Mountain
The human race was defeated, and it is unknown who fled first. It started with one or two, then a dozen, followed by hundreds. As more cultivators fled, nearly a million cultivators on the front line of Yuya Mountain collapsed and tried to escape.
"Hurry, take people with you, don’t go to Pure Jade Sect’s territory, go to Zhong State."
On Yuya Mountain, among the local cultivators, one person shouted angrily, telling his clan members to leave, while he himself charged into the midst of the demon army.
"Retreat, disciples of Pure Jade Sect, regroup and retreat quickly."
Amidst a major defeat, various sects and families began to band together. They gathered together, fought their way out, and quickly escaped. The unfortunate ones were the small factions and independent cultivators, even if they tried to band together, they were too few to be of any use, and the demon tribe would soon catch up and kill them.
"Sister, what should we do?"
The disciples of Wangxian Sect were now confused because they were surrounded by demons, all coming to Li Qing for advice.
Li Qing was now feeling extremely regretful because before the war began, Lin Jiang had advised her to disband Wangxian Sect directly, take the disciples and go elsewhere to rebuild the sect.
But Li Qing didn’t listen. Although she herself hadn’t settled down, many people in the sect had established themselves in Bing State and were unwilling to abandon their accomplishments. Li Qing was moved by their pleas, so she asked for everyone’s opinion: those willing to leave could take some money and go, while those unwilling could stay and join the fight alongside Pure Jade Sect.
Seventy percent of the disciples chose to stay. They then responded to Pure Jade Sect’s call and joined the battle. They fought bravely and were the strongest force under Pure Jade Sect, earning praise from Pure Jade Sect’s top cultivators.
However, Li Qing couldn’t have imagined they would be abandoned so quickly. They charged too recklessly to the front, causing a collapse behind them, and they were surrounded by the monster tribe.
"Everyone fend for themselves, run!"
Li Qing said in agony, with monsters densely surrounding her. In the sky, the human Tao Achieving was fighting further away, clearly intending to escape. She had no choice but to give this order.
At the same time, in the sky, the human Tao Achieving was desperately intercepting the demon emperor of the monster tribe. They had a sense of the bigger picture – if they escaped first, the nearly one million cultivators might not be able to escape. So, they had to stay behind.
"Ah…"
"Save me!"
"Taoist friend, save me!"
In the fierce battle, Demon Emperor Feng Jiu’s performance stood out the most. His opponent was a Tao Achieving who practiced thunder techniques, which were almost like a kryptonite to all monsters. Logically, he should have been able to overpower Feng Jiu.
However, in reality, it was a different story. After just over a hundred rounds, Feng Jiu adapted to his opponent’s thunder techniques and then severely injured him.
"Bang"
Peng Bird Demon Emperor then came to finish the job. A huge bird beak appeared in the sky and pecked at the person, causing Tao Achieving to disintegrate directly, with not even the soul escaping.
Tao Achieving fell, Dao Yun emerged, starlight sprinkled from the sky. Feng Jiu took out a jade bottle, collected all the starlight, with no other demon race fighting him for it.
"Go"
Wu Zilin and the others saw this scene, felt scared, and didn’t care about the remaining cultivators below, they just ran away.
"No need to chase"
Feng Jiu said to the group of Demon Emperors, and they immediately stopped.
"Demon Emperors, why did you stop chasing?"
"Humans are best at tricks. The previous Demon Emperor suffered a lot because of this. We should proceed steadily."
"Yes, Demon Emperor."
"Order the monster army to advance, leaving nothing behind wherever they go."
Feng Jiu ordered, although his command was unnecessary as the monster army always left nothing behind wherever they went.
There were many monsters and demons, usually living in vast areas, but now crowded in the small Bing State. It would be strange if they didn’t exhaust Bing State.
The experts from the Demon God Temple steadily advanced westward, with countless monsters consuming everything in their path, leaving nothing behind.
It wasn’t until they reached Yucheng City, the largest city in Bing State, that the monsters were preparing for their first major battle.
At the frontline of Yucheng City, the human cultivators established a new defense line with unprecedented military strength. Most of the Bing State cultivators who didn’t flee were here.
"Demon Emperor, please give the command to attack. The people below are starving."
The Demon Emperor was eager to attack. Many monsters were natural enemies and needed to prey on each other. It was only through the restraint of the Demon Kings that they lived together temporarily. However, with their enormous army, they needed to eat along the way.
"Prepare today, attack at dawn tomorrow."
Feng Jiu nodded, took a short break, and then was ready to attack.
Early the next day, the demon clan launched the first attack. The demon army was strong and didn’t bother using Demon Insects. Right from the start, they sent out over a dozen fire phoenixes that breathed fire at the human clan defense line. The hot flames from the fire dragons burned the defense formation, draining the defenders’ energy.
"Counterattack, counterattack!"
A cultivator from the Pure Jade Sect shouted out, and the God Slaying Crossbows on the walls of Yucheng City started firing in an attempt to kill the fire phoenixes.
"Warriors of the Split Sky Divine Ape, break through the enemy formation!"
The Divine Ape Demon Emperor roared, sending out over a hundred giant apes standing over a hundred meters tall. They wielded massive clubs, charging forward at high speed to smash through the protective shield.
"Dragon’s Tail Sweep!"
Skilled members of the Dragon clan descended from the sky, and a powerful dragon tail slammed into the protective shield.
"Attack, attack!"
"March into battle immediately."
The Tao Achieving cultivator from Pure Jade Sect shouted loudly. The experts from Bing State, who had fought at Yuya Mountain, knew how powerful the demon clan was. At first, they were too afraid to join the battle. It was only under the relentless urging of the Pure Jade Sect’s Tao Achieving cultivator that they flew out of the protective formation. Otherwise, the formation would be completely unable to hold off the enemy.
"Attack!"
Seeing the human clan joining the battle, Feng Jiu immediately ordered the ordinary demon beasts to attack, replacing the experts in breaking through the formation. Meanwhile, the demon king of the demon clan started targeting the human clan’s experts.
"Demon Clan Feng Jiu is here. Who dares to come out for a fight?"
As Feng Jiu watched the fierce battle, she too was filled with excitement. She quickly flew into the sky, provoking the human clan.
