C1338 Dongfang Scorching Sun
Dongfang Lieri felt that his recent encounters were a little magical.1
As one of the three largest countries in the Central Province, the Dongfang Alliance was once a normal country. However, after experiencing some things, this country became an alliance formed by many gangs and sects.
However, the person who built the Dongfang Alliance was the royal family of the previous dynasty of the Dongfang Alliance, the Cloud Dynasty. The family name of this family was the East.
After the collapse of the Cloud Lower Dynasty, a mighty figure from the East gathered all the people from the East. He had also established an organization called the Dongfang Pavilion. After that, the Dongfang Pavilion continued to annex each and every force. However, they did not merge with each other. Instead, they allowed them to be his subordinates. After a long period of time, it became the Dongfang Alliance of today.
However, in name, each of the gangs managed their own territory. The leader was still the royal Dongfang Pavilion of the past. And Dongfang Lieri came from this place.
He was the eldest son of the current Dongfang Pavilion's Pavilion Lord, Dongfang Huoshu. He was also publicly acknowledged as a genius whose talent was second only to Dongfang Huoshu and the old ancestor, Dongfang Wenyue. In everyone's eyes, this young man was a promising future.
Not long ago, in the south of Dongfang Alliance, near the boundary between the Spirit Country and the Goat Ridge Mountain Range, a group of devil appeared. This group of devil was committing crimes everywhere, causing harm to the surrounding residents. And in the nearest sect, the Sect Master had heard about the appearance of a devil. and volunteered to destroy them. But not long after, the life spirit stone of the Sect Master shattered. This also meant that he had already died in the hands of the devil.
As for the strength of the Sect Master, it was at the Early Eighth Stage.
This news quickly spread to the Dongfang Pavilion. Although the Dongfang Pavilion normally didn't care about the affairs of the world, unless there was a sect in the Dongfang Alliance who had done something that was against the laws of nature, they wouldn't show up and clean up. But this time, Dongfang Huoshu didn't hesitate to say that he wanted to eliminate all of these devil.
Therefore, he asked Dongfang Lieri to go out and pick some experts from the hundreds of big and small sects in the Dongfang Alliance to bring these experts to the Goat Ridge Mountain Range.
Under Dongfang Lieri's call and Dongfang Huoshu's pressure, Dongfang Lieri quickly gathered more than a hundred experts and arrived at the Goat Ridge Mountain Range. This was the third day since the devil appeared. A third of the people in the sect had already died in the mouth of the devil.
After learning about this news, Dongfang Lieri aggressively brought over a hundred experts to find trouble with the devil.
The entire Goat Ridge Mountain Range was over two thousand five hundred miles, and the width was also close to a hundred miles. The entire mountain range was over 200 meters tall, and the highest point was even more than 1,000 meters. This mountain range was like a natural city wall, separating the Dongfang Alliance and the Spirit Country. However, more than half of the north side of the Spirit Country was filled with woods.
After Dongfang Lieri made some inquiries, he found out that these devil were actually on the other side of the mountain range, hiding in the woods on the north side of the Spirit Country.
At the same time, his assistant also found a strange terrain on the map. It was a valley called Mang Yang Mountain, directly splitting the entire mountain range into two. It was like a long dough was cut in half from the middle. Mang Mountain was 800 meters tall, but the valley in the middle split the mountain in half from the highest point. The middle was about 10 meters wide.
After thinking it over and over again, Dongfang Lieri decided that he would go to Mang Mountain Valley and find the lair of the devil, then kill all of them.
After all, both sides of this valley were 800m tall cliffs. There was no need to worry about being surrounded by the devil. Moreover, according to the information he obtained, he believed that the experts he led would be able to eliminate all of the devil.
The news was from the sect that was under the command of the dead Sect Master. These devil did not have any Spiritual Force. However, their strength could be on par with a Seventh Stage body cultivator. Furthermore, there had always been a dozen or so of them when they appeared. As for why the Sect Master had died... He had probably accidentally entered the lair of the devil. At most, there were a few hundred devil surrounding and attacking him at the same time.
In Dongfang Lieri's opinion, these few hundred devil were no different from several hundred Seventh Stage body cultivators who did not know martial arts. If their group were mostly Seventh Stage, there would be a few Eighth Stage and a Ninth Stage Sovereign leading the group. Wouldn't it be easy to take it down?
Dongfang Lieri's plan was correct. Although these warriors weren't famous in the world, even he himself... He was only in his fifties, but his strength was already at the peak of Seventh Stage. Furthermore, he had a lot of combat experience.
As long as the number of devil was within two thousand, it would be a piece of cake for him to defeat them.
However, when Dongfang Lieri passed through the Mang Yang Valley and arrived at the other side of the mountain range, he realized that his guess was completely wrong.
When they entered the dense forest, they only encountered a few devil in the beginning, and they were easily wiped out.
However, after they had traveled twenty miles, they only saw a few sparse devil along the way. This caused them to become suspicious. Thus, Dongfang Lieri sent people to investigate the surroundings. But the news brought back by the spy made everyone suck in a cold breath.
Around their troops, there were layers upon layers of devil. The number of these devil could not be calculated, but there were at least tens of thousands of them. These devil were distributed in different groups according to their respective species. It was especially orderly, as if someone was commanding them.
After learning about this news, Dongfang Lieri's hands couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, he knew his own identity. He also knew that if he panicked, everyone would die in the devil's mouth due to panic.
Thus, he ordered everyone to disband on the spot and think of a way to return to the other side of Mang Yang Valley before regrouping. In the end, he decided to stay behind and guard the rear.
However, after everyone left, the Dongfang Pavilion elder who followed Dongfang Lieri knocked him unconscious and sent him to Mang Yang Valley, while he stayed within the devil's encirclement.
When Dongfang Lieri woke up again, he was already halfway to Mang Yang Valley. There were also many people in the surroundings who had regrouped with him. But even so, each of these experts had their own means of escape. But there were still quite a number of people who died on the way. When they finally counted the number of people, it was already one-third less.
However, this was not the end. Behind them... There were still many devil following them. Although these devil weren't strong, their advantage lay in their numbers. There were about two thousand of them. As for the remaining 100 of them, no matter how they looked at it, when they faced these devil... Their chances of winning were not high.
