#3572 - The Collapse of Fenghuo Mountain (Part 1)
The reason why Phoenix Fire Mountain has become what it is now from a supreme Saint-level force is not fundamentally and most importantly because of the Hongmeng faction?
If they hadn't taken the initiative to provoke the Hongmeng faction back then...
Now, if the Hongmeng faction really takes any action,
the high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain, apart from silently enduring it themselves, can't think of any other way to deal with it.
Saying they are fighting back with all their might is just comforting themselves.
Within the Hongmeng faction.
Qin Yi opened the system store to exchange for pills that would enhance his combat power.
[Ninety-Second Order · Legendary Hundred Kill Pill · Full: The user gains one hundred and five full stamina recovery times, and at the same time, all attributes are increased by 3,000% until the end of the battle. Value: 25 billion points of the Divine and Demonic System Store积分.]
(Warm reminder: This is an advanced version of the [Ninety-Second Order · Legendary Hundred Kill Pill]. No accumulation or kills are required. Taking it will grant the full effect of the Hundred Kill Pill!)
[Ninety-Second Order · Legendary Ten Strike Pill: The user can unleash 500% of their combat power in the next ten attacks without any side effects. Price: 25 billion points of the Divine and Demonic System Store积分.]
Spending 50 billion Divine and Demonic points, he exchanged for these two pills.
The system store's Divine and Demonic points went from 70 billion to exactly 20 billion.
After swallowing these two pills, Qin Yi's power soared all the way to the Great Perfection of the Seven Tribulation Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The incredibly powerful force within his body made Qin Yi begin to yearn for Quasi-Saint level combat power...
In the later stages of cultivation, basically every breakthrough in a major realm would bring about a world of difference in combat power compared to before.
"Quasi-Saint... as the existence second only to a Saint in the heavens and stars, there is a reason for that," Qin Yi thought to himself.
Reaching the Quasi-Saint realm grants immense power, and even Saints would show some respect.
This is why Quasi-Saints have a very high status everywhere.
It's just a pity that among countless cultivators, only a handful can reach this realm.
Like panning for gold... only a few small grains of sand will ultimately remain.
Qin Yi summoned Wang Tian and Emily.
After telling them what he wanted to do this time.
Wang Tian and Emily immediately went to carry out the orders after receiving them.
They didn't haggle at all about Qin Yi's orders.
Haggling with their leader, especially a leader like Qin Yi, would purely be feeling like their life was too long and wanting to take a shortcut to the afterlife.
The intensity of the Hongmeng army's battle with the Phoenix Fire Mountain army quickly increased exponentially, reaching its peak in just one day!
Faced with the slaughter of an army of uniformly Rank Nine Life-Death Dao Realm cultivators, the Phoenix Fire Mountain beast race army had no ability to resist.
The difference in foundation was too great... resistance was futile!
"Boom~!" "Boom~!"
"Boom~!"...
Explosions rang out one after another on the battlefield.
The Phoenix Fire Mountain beast army watched their companions fall one after another, their hearts completely breaking down.
"My God, are these Hongmeng army guys monsters? Uniformly Rank Nine Life-Death Dao Realm cultivation and combat power, what's the point of fighting! Even if our Phoenix Fire Mountain is a Saint-level force, we can't possibly be their opponent. It's a pity that our Quasi-Saint on this side isn't taking action, otherwise, we would definitely make them look good!"
"It's already come to this, and you're still delusionally pinning your hopes on our Quasi-Saint. I'll tell you the truth, if our Quasi-Saint was planning to take action, he probably wouldn't have waited until now. He must be afraid of the Hongmeng faction. Don't be intimidated by the other side's Grade A faction title."
"No Grade A faction can have an army of uniformly Rank Nine Life-Death Dao Realm cultivators. Even a Saint-level force can't do that. Do you think there might not be Quasi-Saint level existences in the Hongmeng faction? Maybe there are even Saint-level existences. They've been pretending to be weak for more than a day or two."
"You're talking about Saint-level existences? I don't think so. Isn't that overestimating these Hongmeng faction guys who only know how to hide? If there really were Saints, why would they bother wasting time with us? They would just directly kill us. The outcome wouldn't have any surprises."
...Soon, the high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain received the news, just as their own army was being defeated.
As high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain, they were naturally extremely anxious.
Right now, they are relying on their own army to delay the time with the other side...
Once their own army is completely defeated, perhaps the Hongmeng faction's butcher knife will be aimed directly at the high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain.
At that time, their danger will shift from their subordinates to themselves.
Orders were issued from the Phoenix Fire Mountain headquarters one after another.
Along with the transmission of these orders, the Phoenix Fire Mountain army that had been defeated by the Hongmeng faction quickly regrouped.
However, compared to before being defeated, both their morale and overall numbers were much inferior to before.
Many Phoenix Fire Mountain soldiers even started to tremble uncontrollably when they saw the Hongmeng faction.
With morale falling to this point, even a fool would know that continuing to fight would definitely not gain any advantage.
But the situation had already forced Phoenix Fire Mountain to a point where they had to respond.
The high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain were very clear in their hearts.
If they didn't respond to the Hongmeng faction, then the situation would definitely be worse than it was now.
As the saying goes, it's better for a dead friend than a dead self...
If these foundations of Phoenix Fire Mountain were completely lost, as long as these high-level members survived,
they would eventually have a day to rise again.
If these high-level members were to fall collectively, that would be a heavy loss!
These high-level members of Phoenix Fire Mountain began to discuss how to deal with the Hongmeng faction.
"Everyone, I always feel that those Hongmeng faction guys are not so easy to deal with. They must have hidden cards! This time, I have to say that the Hongmeng faction has once again refreshed our understanding. An army of uniformly Rank Nine Life-Death Dao Realm cultivators, what else are they hiding from us? This is very frustrating."
"Who says it isn't? We've been fighting with the Hongmeng faction for so many years, and we still don't even know the other side's foundation. I want to know what those guys in charge of intelligence are thinking? Are they really so useless that they can't even get the most basic correct information? They're too useless!"
"Hmph, these guys are more than useless. If it weren't for them being in charge of our Phoenix Fire Mountain's intelligence, we wouldn't be so passive. The most important thing in the struggle between forces is information. The Hongmeng faction knows everything about our Phoenix Fire Mountain, but we can only rely on guesses about the enemy's movements."
"At this time, don't complain about everything to those guys in charge of intelligence. It's not easy for them. We've all seen their contributions to our Phoenix Fire Mountain over the years. It's not that our intelligence department is too useless, it's just that those Hongmeng faction guys are cunning and make it impossible for us to get started."
...They now know where the chill they suddenly felt not long ago came from.
From the Hongmeng faction's actions this time, they can see it very clearly.
The news about the Phoenix Fire Mountain army being defeated spread throughout the surrounding area.
Many force leaders looked in the direction of the Hongmeng faction with a deep fear in their eyes without realizing it.
They weren't fools. The strength of the Hongmeng faction had been fully demonstrated by the Saint-level force, Phoenix Fire Mountain.
Who would dare to provoke an existence that could defeat a Saint-level force...
Wang Tian and Emily went to report to Qin Yi after completing the orders he had given them.
Qin Yi was quite satisfied with their performance this time.
Both the efficiency and the results were similar to his expectations.
This is the benefit of having subordinates.
After a force grows, it's impossible for Qin Yi to do everything himself.
Moreover, the operation and maintenance of the force also require a lot of energy.
If he doesn't learn to be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave everything to his subordinates.
Instead, if he takes everything on himself, the end result will only be being worked to death...
Qin Yi said: "Very good, continue to maintain the current situation."
Wang Tian nodded and said: "Yes!"
