"What is the current situation?"

Upon seeing Xia Guanglin and Nangong Xue approaching, Ji Haoyuan immediately asked.

"The situation isn't particularly optimistic."

Xia Guanglin and Nangong Xue both had somewhat grave expressions.

"It's clear that the opposition intends to use a large number of low-level demon beasts to exhaust the power of our array.

If this continues, our people on this side will likely find it very difficult to keep holding on."

"Difficult or not, we must persist."

Ji Haoyuan spoke coldly.

He knew very well that this is war, not child's play.

If this defense line is breached.

Then a large number of demon beasts west of the Beimang Mountain Range can directly enter the human territories.

At that time, not only the Cultivation Realm in Wu Country would suffer, but even the human territories stretching from the west to the north could be overrun.

Therefore, including himself, everyone must stop this giant beast tide right now.

"Send the order to exchange personnel between this location and the other three defense line regions.

Furthermore, issue a command to the Cultivation Realm of Wu Country.

Within three days.

I want to see a satisfactory number of cultivators coming to this East Mountain Pass.

Especially those Golden Core clans and sects.

If anyone continues to hold back deliberately and does not send enough people, I will visit their family and sect personally to see if they truly have no one left."

Ji Haoyuan was not joking this time.

At such a moment, if anyone dares to play tricks with him, he truly will break their mountains and destroy their sects.

The people present obviously noticed Ji Haoyuan's determination, and their expressions became solemn.

"Understood, we obey the order!"

Unbeknownst to them, Ji Haoyuan had already gained absolute prestige and authority at the East Mountain Pass.

At this moment, he looked towards the distance.

Suddenly, colossal figures emerged in the vast sky.

Each one had formidable spiritual pressure comparable to that of Golden Core True Men.

As soon as they appeared, they swiftly transformed into shadows, heading straight towards the eastern defense line where Ji Haoyuan was stationed.

"This is bad! It's third-rank great yokai!"

Upon noticing the appearance of those colossal figures, Xiao Baiming, Xia Guanglin, and Nangong Xue, among others, all changed their expressions.

Most critically, the number of third-rank great yokai appearing now...

One, three, five, seven, nine...

Nine in total!

Among them were three late third-rank great yokai!

"Nanhua Dao You..."

Instinctively, everyone's eyes turned to Ji Haoyuan.

Their expressions were already heavy.

Evidently, this was the largest number of great yokai to appear at once since the war began.

Especially the number of late third-rank great yokai.

It's unknown whether their sudden appearance is related to Master Bi Chenzi or premeditated.

But right now, none of that matters.

What is urgent is to find a way against this wave of attack.

With this in mind, Xiao Baiming immediately turned to Ji Haoyuan and said:

"Nanhua Dao You, the number of great yokai now exceeds the number of Golden Core cultivators on our side.

Especially since they've dispatched three late third-rank great yokai at once.

Do you think we should immediately signal to Xiahou Dao You for support?"

"No!"

Xiao Baiming barely finished speaking when Nangong Xue, and another middle-aged man named Master Ziyun, quickly interjected.

Master Ziyun was a Golden Core cultivator from the Golden Glow Temple, possessing mid Golden Core cultivation.

At this moment, he said: "Xiao Dao You, the situation is special right now; none of us can guarantee that after transferring Xiahou Dao You here, nothing unexpected will happen with the northern defense line."

This was indeed something to consider.

After all, the original northern defense line is where the demon beasts primarily attacked.

Though from the current situation, the likelihood of feinting and hitting elsewhere is not high, it cannot be ignored.

If Xiahou Qingshan is transferred here and something does go wrong on the northern defense line, it would be too late for regrets.

Ji Haoyuan was evidently well aware of this.

Thus, he did not agree with Xiao Baiming's proposal but said in a deep voice:

"For now, the Golden Core cultivators in the other defense lines cannot be moved.

Xia Dao You, immediately relay my previous command.

Additionally, what about the Beast Taming Taoist from the Hundred Beasts Sect? Why hasn't he come to East Mountain Pass for defense?"

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's questions, Nangong Xue promptly replied:

"In reply to Nanhua Dao You, the Hundred Beasts Sect is situated in the Wanyuan Forest of the Beimang Mountain Range, which is likewise another location affected by the beast tide.

The Beast Taming Taoist likely cannot come to East Mountain Pass."

"Is that so?"

Ji Haoyuan nodded thoughtfully.

He had been curious ever since reaching East Mountain Pass.

Why he hadn't seen the Hundred Beasts Sect's cultivators here.

It made sense that the other side was already stretched thin.

Naturally, they didn't have extra power to come to East Mountain Pass.

In fact.

Many of the current situations are similar to that of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Including the Heaven-Piercing Valley, where his family is located.

If not for his purpose in the alliance, he also wouldn't have been at East Mountain Pass now.

Thoughts crossing through his mind.

Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate further and said:

"So, for now, we can only rely on ourselves for this current challenge.

Xia Dao You, Nangong Dao You, and Ziyun Dao You.

Depend on the array to intercept those great yokai, and ensure their attacks do not heavily impact our array.

As for Xiao Dao You and me, we will act accordingly.

It would be best to slay some great yokai, to ease the pressure on our eastern defense line."

"Understood!"

Xiao Baiming and the others all nodded.

Clearly, they all knew that if they merely defended passively, the pressure on the cultivators below would be too great.

It might not be much for a short time.

But over time.

Physical and mental exhaustion would still be manageable.

The true concern was a drastic drop in morale.

In this kind of large-scale war between two races.

Everything can be lacking, but morale is something that must not be lost.

Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

In a short moment, he locked onto a third-rank mid-tier patterned demon python outside the city.

The yokai's body was covered with extremely bright patterns.

Its gigantic maw opened and closed, releasing endless streams of toxins of various colors.

Such a great yokai posed the greatest threat to their low-level cultivators.

Thus.

No matter what, this yokai must die.

And it must be done quickly.

Otherwise, prolonged time would result in irreversible casualties.

Ji Haoyuan steadied himself on the spot and slowly adjusted his breathing.

Then, his figure suddenly vanished.
