Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had led Leng Qingqiu away from the Spirit Mine and returned to the Cave Abode, the Great Demon King's tens of thousands of demon army surrounded the Spirit Mine.

Amidst the throngs of the demon army, the Great Demon King sat atop a flying carriage, emanating demonic Qi and awe-inspiring prowess. Four of his demon beasts were harnessed, pulling the carriage with wings spread wide as the vast demon army followed behind.

Imposing and majestic. Dominance reaching the skies!

The Great Demon King, having searched in vain, felt frustrated. He extended his Divine Sense into the mine shaft, discovering some spirit stones still within; however, the Spiritual Energy within them had been entirely drained, leaving only a pile of useless stones.

Seeing this, the Great Demon King was perplexed and thought, "That's impossible. No matter how high the cultivation base of two human cultivators, they couldn't possibly refine so many spirit stones in such a short time."

After a moment of astonishment, the Great Demon King used his powerful voice to issue a thunderous command:

"The human cultivators just absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the spirit stones, they shouldn't be far away; search for them!" Following the command, tens of thousands of demon army members moved suddenly and methodically in dispersing forces, spreading in every direction as they were led by the Demon King, all demon cultivators unleashed their Divine Senses, carefully searching for traces.

With the demon army conducting a comprehensive search, Wang Xiaoqiang had no place to hide, nor did he intend to. He sent Leng Qingqiu back to the Cave Abode and immediately left, discovering he was spotted by a large group of demon army while flying toward the military camp.

Seeing he was discovered by the demon army, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't panic. Acting alone, though seemingly vulnerable, he felt unburdened and could fight freely, without reservations.

So, he flew leisurely while holding back the demon army, seizing the opportunity to kill.

Upon discovering Wang Xiaoqiang, this group of demon army did not rush to engage him directly but followed at a measured pace, for their leader was none other than Zuo Qinglian,

Zuo Qinglian knew Wang Xiaoqiang's capabilities and knew she couldn't match him, hence she planned to wait until all demon army arrived before taking action to encircle and eradicate Wang Xiaoqiang.

Zuo Qinglian led the chase while sending messages to the Great Demon King.

Receiving the news, the Great Demon King got excited upon hearing it was the leader of the human army, immediately informing all demon army to rush and destroy Wang Xiaoqiang.

While flying, Wang Xiaoqiang glanced back and saw the leader was indeed the beautiful female demon he had seen before... Zuo Qinglian. He smiled playfully, then deliberately slowed down, allowing the pursuing force to get closer before suddenly turning around and flying towards them.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly turning and flying towards her, Zuo Qinglian trembled in fear and immediately shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my command, kill! Whoever slays this person will be rewarded with ten spirit stones!"

Although the Snow Territory is abundant in Spirit Mines and rich cultivation resources, most of these were monopolized by the Great Demon King and Demon King-level entities, with little left for lower-ranked demons.

Ten spirit stones were indeed quite precious.

Having heard such a reward promised by their leader, the demon army got excited and immediately moved to attack Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang released the Demon Droplet, Patterned Beasts, Path of Courage, and nine Avatars to firmly guard his sides and protect his main self...

In the face of true power, numbers were meaningless; they were mere cannon fodder.

This group of demon army became Wang Xiaoqiang's live targets, with Path of Courage charging fearlessly into their ranks, lightning from the "Courage" character thundered and exploded, striking demons to fall dead.

The Demon Droplet spun joyfully, continually piercing the demon cultivators.

Whoosh... splat... whoosh... splat... whoosh... splat...

The two sounds constantly echoed in the sky, with the Demon Droplet swiftly claiming demon lives, too fast to see, only glimpses of demons spurting blood from their throats or chests, falling dead without even a cry.

Demons were connected by blood lines drawn by the Demon Droplet.

The Demon Droplet, spinning rapidly, remained unstained by blood.

While the Demon Droplet acted in assassination, Patterned Beasts wreaked havoc, extending eight demon arms to relentlessly swipe and flatten demon bodies into minced meat.

Its mouth spat flames—any ghost cultivator engulfed in flames wailed in agony, quickly turned into ashes.

Wang Xiaoqiang's main self charged straight ahead, pouncing towards Zuo Qinglian.

Knowing Wang Xiaoqiang's might, Zuo Qinglian dared not battle him head-on, fleeing while crossing her hands before her chest, gesturing like Orchid fingers, meanwhile charmingly chanting, "Demon Qi Lotus, entwine him..."

Immediately demonic Qi surged, coalescing into lotus flowers in front of her; these were formed of demonic Qi, black as ink, with a touch of eeriness.

One by one, Demon Qi Lotuses formed and linked like a connected vine, as she wielded her spell, reaching to entwine Wang Xiaoqiang.

The Ink Lotus quickly entangled Wang Xiaoqiang; releasing the Golden Shell, he blocked the Lotus's assault, then wielded the Penglai Immortal Sword, slicing away at the lotus, severing it thoroughly. Freeing himself, Wang Xiaoqiang found Zuo Qinglian already fled far.

Wang Xiaoqiang produced the Spirit Fixing Disk, tossing it skyward; expanding like a canopy in the wind, it hovered then hummed, turning to cast a wide beam, enveloping Zuo Qinglian entirely.

Recognizing the Spirit Fixing Disk, Zuo Qinglian had not expected it to fall into Wang Xiaoqiang's possession, and being enveloped suddenly, her face paled; trapped within the light beam, she couldn't advance a step, forced to struggle desperately within, her delicate face flushed red with urgency.
