Chapter 87: The Yin Demon Sect's Defeat
The Yunwu Mountain battlefield was cleaned up neatly, and the Demon Sect's flying boat was hidden without a trace. The news of Chen An killing the demon cultivator had not yet spread, so Chen Fengshuo naturally didn't know his current strength.

Chen An smiled softly and said, "Are you sure you want to challenge me? Don't regret it."

"Before, you were able to defeat me only because of your higher cultivation level. Now, my strength is much stronger than before. I am able to fight with you and redeem myself from the shame of my defeat. Come on!" Chen Fengshuo exuded the aura of the middle stage of foundation building, and he was full of fighting spirit.

Chen An didn't say much. With a thought, a ghost face vine that soared into the sky broke out of the ground.

It wrapped around Chen Fengshuo's body like a python, and with a strong swing, threw him out of the cave.

After a long time, Chen Fengshuo steadied himself and looked at the fog on the North Mountain. His face flushed with a bit of shame and anger.

"Did this guy also break through?"

As time went by, the demon cultivators on the eastern front were alone and unable to make any moves, and their movements became smaller and smaller. After killing the left protector of the Yin Demon Sect, the demon cultivators disappeared in less than a year.

Many people thought that the evil cultivators had been successfully repelled and the crisis in Qingyun Domain had been resolved.

But Chen An didn't think so. From the information he got from the foundation-building cultivators of the Chen family, he learned that after the evil cultivators retreated, Qingyun Sect did not recall the disciples who were reinforcing several mines.

Instead, they dispatched a lot of additional personnel, still acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and guarded the area with all their might.

Chen An guessed that the reason why Qingyun Sect did this was probably because the leader of Yinmo Sect, the golden elixir demon cultivator, had not shown up, and the golden elixirs of both sides had not moved. This war might not end so easily.

It is worth noting that the number of foundation-building monks in Qingyun Sect has increased significantly, and there is a tendency for it to surpass Yinmo Sect.

This might be because the Red Leaf Fairy exchanged a few Heavenly Spirit Fruits from him last time.

For now, this is a good thing.

As for the danger of the Jindan demon cultivator, the Jindan cultivators of Qingyun Sect are no pushovers either. As long as the other party shows up, the latter will not stand idly by.

The only thing to worry about is that if the Yin Demon Sect's Jindan attacks from the direction of the Liu and Xu families, it would be fine. Even if other foundation-building demon cultivators come, they will not pose a threat to Chen An.

But if the other party attacks from Yunwu Mountain, things will become troublesome.

Chen An felt that with his own strength, as long as he advanced to the late stage of foundation building, it was hard to say whether he could defeat the opponent, but keeping his life should not be a problem.

Oh, right, Golden Crow Grass!

You can try to ripen this grass. If you can obtain one or two methods to reach the Jindan stage, the safety will definitely be greatly increased.

If it really doesn't work, he will concentrate all the strength of the Chen family and force his way through the Qingyun Sect in the rear and run away, but this can only be regarded as the last resort. He doesn't want to fight with the Qingyun Sect until the very end.

After thinking for a while, Chen An called Chen Qing to discuss countermeasures with him.

Chen Qing said with a bitter face, "If the two Jindans start fighting, innocent people will be affected. With the Yin Demon Sect watching us from the front and the Qingyun Sect behind us, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to move our family openly."

Chen An was confident that he could escape, but he did not have the ability to take his entire family with him. If the time really came, he would probably have to make some choices.

"Don't worry, the Yin Demon Sect's golden elixir can be dealt with by the Qingyun Sect."

Chen An comforted the other party and then ordered: "In your spare time recently, collect more second-level spiritual plants that are more than five years old."

The spiritual seeds in his spiritual field had just been ripened, and were now all in the seed state. If he wanted to ripen the third-order spiritual plants across levels, he would need a lot of second-order spiritual plants.

But as long as the quantity is sufficient, the Soul-Snatching Technique should be used to ripen the Golden Crow Grass.

Chen Qing agreed and tactfully said nothing more: "Wait for my news."

He took out a letter and handed it to Chen An, saying, "This is a letter Yu'er asked me to give you when she came home some time ago."

After handing the envelope to Chen An, he said goodbye and left. Chen An opened the letter, which was sent by Zhao Hu. There were not many words on it, but it contained a lot of information.

After several years of hard work, Zhao Hu has established a solid foundation.

He took the initiative to apply to guard the mine near the Wang family. If Yunwu Mountain failed, they could seek refuge from him.

He has already made arrangements with a group of foundation-building monks in the mine and will not turn them away.

The most important point is that according to the information obtained by Qingyun Sect, the demon cultivators are keeping their troops in place and may be planning a big move.

After reading it, Chen An smiled lightly. This kid is quite grateful and still thinks of him at this time. It seems that his soul-boosting ginseng and soul-boosting pills were not wasted.

Now that nothing has happened for the time being, Chen An destroyed the letter and continued to practice in seclusion.

The Essence Pill that was harvested before is an elixir that is effective for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Relying on his solid foundation, Chen An was able to refine it normally.

Ever since taking this pill, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. Judging from his progress, he should be able to make another breakthrough in another three or four years.

Yin Demon Sect.

Deep in the cave.

The Yinmo Sect's leader Duan Tianya's face turned ashen, and he was surrounded by murderous aura and looked murderous.

"You are all useless! Not only did you fail to capture a single mine of the Qingyun Sect, but you also lost a lot of manpower. How can we carry out the follow-up plan? Do you want me to go to the front line and fight for you useless people?"

The demon cultivators below, led by the right protector, were trembling with fear and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The right protector, in particular, felt extremely bitter. He was the one who led the attack on the eastern mineral vein and was about to break through the opponent's formation. However, for some reason, a lot of foundation-building monks appeared in the Qingyun Sect, which changed the situation of the battle with their numbers, causing the two sides to fall into a stalemate.

Later, the Left Protector took advantage of the weak defense line in the west and led his disciples to attack. However, before the news of victory came, the soul tablets of all the people in the flying boat were shattered, and it was obvious that they had all died.

"Demon Lord, I am incompetent and failed to capture the mineral vein, which allowed me to reach the heartland of Qingyun Sect. Please punish me, Demon Lord!" The right protector was righteous and took all the responsibility on himself.

He knew Duan Tianya's temper very well. As long as he took the initiative to admit his mistake, he would most likely be fine after a scolding. If he tried to shirk responsibility, he would suffer physical pain at best, and at worst, he would be physically destroyed!

"Humph, it's good to know that you are incompetent."

The Yin Demon Sect's leader Duan Tianya's expression eased a little, and he said, "Forget it, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. We did not know the other party's strength before, but after this test, we have found out the details of Qingyun Sect. If we rearrange the plan, there may be a chance to take them down."

The demon cultivators below relaxed a little upon hearing this, and looked at the right protector with gratitude in their eyes.

Duan Tianya raised his eyes slightly and asked, "How is the Fifth Demon now?"

"Your Majesty, the five demons are steadily improving in their cultivation and should be close to completing their foundation building." Seeing that the other party had changed the subject, the right protector's tense body gradually relaxed and he replied.

"Okay! When the five of them have completed their foundation building, they will follow me to attack Qingyun Sect. I want to borrow the golden elixir of that old fellow from Qingyun Sect so that my Yinmo Sect can produce another Jindan cultivator!"

Time flies and four years have passed.

In the cave on the north side of Yunwu Mountain, Chen An stopped practicing his skills after consolidating his cultivation.

He felt the liquid spiritual power surging in his body like a rushing river, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Sixth level of foundation building!"
