Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As long as they survived, their strength would improve, and treasures would not be scarce.

From this perspective, chasing down the Demon Beast Army was also a rare opportunity for this group of people.

Risk and reward have always been directly proportional, a fact well understood by everyone.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but the noisy and chaotic scene gradually quieted down.

By then, those who were hesitant seemed to have made their decisions, accepting Chen Jingtian's arrangements.

Seeing this, Chen Jingtian nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, he had made this decision after careful deliberation.

In his heart, there was consideration for the Cultivation World as well as private concerns for Zhenyang Sect and himself.

After all, the Demon Beast Army was at an absolute disadvantage, which had come at a great cost.

It must be understood that Zhenyang Sect and the few Golden Core Cultivators had expended quite a few treasures in this great battle. Just the Third Order Talisman alone had used up dozens of sheets, not to mention other various treasures.

Now that they had finally gained the upper hand, it would be a pity to let them retreat easily.

Besides, the cultivators who fell in the great battle had left behind many unclaimed items.

Although there might not be many good items, the large number of resources accumulated was a substantial wealth, and the value of the Demon Beast Corpses themselves was an extremely large sum.

As leaders, the Golden Core Cultivators, apart from handing over a portion of resources to the Sect, could also retain a portion for themselves.

Even a very small portion was a substantial benefit.

Thus, as long as the great battle continued, each faction could scoop up resources.

From their standpoint, they were sure not to lose but instead stand to gain abundantly.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Jingtian was so decisive and firm, not allowing any room for rebuttal.

Regaining his composure, Chen Jingtian exchanged smiles with Wang Hengqiu and the others, with a slight hint of excitement in their expressions.

Once calm had been restored, Chen Jingtian then began to speak, organizing the details and arrangements for chasing the Demon Beast Army.

"Gentlemen, your profound understanding pleases me greatly!"

"Follow me out of the city shortly, track the footprints of the Demon Beast Army along the Songling Mountain Range, and be ready to confront them at any time."

"I hope everyone will not hold back but also not be careless, and try to kill as many demon beasts as possible."

"Understood?" Chen Jingtian said sternly.

"We will follow the senior's command!"

Seeing Chen Jingtian's sharp words, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present dared not oppose and responded in unison.

Up in the attic, Chen Jingtian nodded satisfactorily and then instructed Lan Yu beside him.

"Junior Brother Lan, your injury has not recovered, and I fear you can't exert more than fifty percent of your strength. Stay and guard Yuyao City and keep an eye on those Qi Refining Cultivators. Leave the pursuit of the Demon Beast Army to the three of us."

"As the Senior Brother commands!" Lan Yu bowed in response.

Immediately after, Chen Jingtian and Wang Hengqiu next to him exchanged a few words, confirming many details about the pursuit of the beast army.

A little time passed.

With the Defensive Great Formation of Yuyao City opening, Chen Jingtian waved a single hand, and then he and Wang Hengqiu led the way out of the Formation-covered area.

Atop the city walls, upon seeing the Golden Core Cultivators mobilizing, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators did not delay and followed their steps, appearing on the open ground outside the city.

Outside the city, over a thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators were divided into several groups, neatly waiting for orders.

At the forefront, Zhu Yun took out the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat, and after casting a Law Decree, the boat quickly expanded, turning into the first shape seen.

Following that, Chen Jingtian and the others leapt aboard, boarding the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat first.

As the three appeared on the deck of the boat, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators below began boarding as well, and the assembly was completed promptly.

Lin Tianming and Qin Xi sat side by side on the ground, not far from Li Xiuyuan and the other teammates, everyone quietly waiting.

Then, seeing the timing was about right, Zhu Yun manipulated the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat, turning into a blur as it shot towards the west.

The Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat was fast, covering a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye, piercing through the clouds.

...

Two days quietly passed by.

On this day, the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat appeared above a range of towering mountains.

Chen Jingtian and a few others stood on the deck of the flying boat, gazing down below. They extended their Divine Sense in all directions, apparently in search of traces of demonic beasts.

Below them, amidst the lush green valleys, a path suddenly appeared. On both sides, several towering trees were snapped in half, and the ground was littered with countless broken rocks and some peculiar footprints, which looked incredibly clear.

Clearly, such obvious traces had to be left by demonic beasts as they passed through.

Chen Jingtian was the first to finish scouting and now furrowed his brows, wearing a reflective expression.

"Wang, there are obvious traces of demonic beasts passing below, and the tracks are fresh. The air is even filled with the scent of demonic beasts."

"If everything goes as expected, we should be able to catch up with the main forces of the Demon Beast Army not far ahead."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hengqiu nodded his head in agreement, showing great trust in Chen Jingtian's judgment.

The Demon Beast Army was too large and included many low-order demonic beasts. If the Third Order demonic beasts didn't leave them behind, their speed definitely couldn't be very fast.

But they were light on their feet, relying on the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat for travel, making them at least several times faster than the Demon Beast Army.

After two days of pursuit, they theoretically should have indeed been very close to the Demon Beast Army.

"Chen, this is definitely a Monster Beast Legion; the only question is whether they will disperse and retreat," Wang said.

"If it's a mass retreat, we must be careful. If they scatter, I'm afraid we don't have enough hands to hold them all back."

Chen Jingtian nodded to this, finding it a reasonable point.

After all, the number of the Demon Beast Army was still massive; the movements of tens of thousands of demonic beasts were inevitably too conspicuous.

Furthermore, the speed difference between high-order and low-order demonic beasts was too great; they were likely not to retreat together.

Considering these, Chen Jingtian spoke up, "No matter, regardless of the size or intent of this monster beast legion, all of our elites are here. Let's catch up first and then see."

His words were considered and left little room for worry. Wang Hengqiu and the others naturally had no objections.

Without delay, Chen Jingtian instructed Zhu Yun to control the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat and shoot along the traces below.

Quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Spirit-Connecting Flying Boat appeared in front of a canyon.

Standing on the deck and looking down, the canyon was flanked by high mountains on both sides, with dense jungles covering the peaks and thick fog enveloping the vast canyon.

As it scarcely received any sunlight throughout the year, the dark and damp canyon seemed even colder than other places.

The clear traces also abruptly ended as if they had vanished into thin air.

Looking at this eerie valley, coupled with the dark terrain, one couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine.

At that moment, Chen Jingtian's brows were deeply furrowed. He looked toward the canyon, spreading his Divine Sense into it and thoroughly scouted the surroundings.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something.

With a cold snort, he leaped from the deck as Spiritual Light blazed brightly around the Magical Treasure in his hand.

"Still hiding here, seeking death!"

As the words fell, a colossal beam of Spiritual Light tore through the sky, striking deep into the recesses of the canyon.

In an instant, a deafening explosion was heard, with flames shooting high into the sky, lighting up the darkened skies abruptly.

At that moment, numerous cultivators on the flying boat stood on the deck, each one gazing intently at the commotion below, their expressions filled with confusion.

As everyone watched, the flames quickly dissipated, followed by a crescendo of intense screams.

Then came the sound of demonic beasts running, chaotic and loud, making it unclear how many there were.

A few breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Shortly after, a large number of demonic beasts emerged from the dark canyon, about a few thousand in number.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised and even more puzzled.

It was somewhat unexpected that among the demonic beasts appearing here, no Third Order demonic beasts were found, and there were not many Second Order Late-Stage demonic beasts either. The majority were First Order demonic beasts, or those at the Second Order Initial Stage.

Clearly, the Demon Beast Army had split into several groups, or perhaps this group of demonic beasts had been intended as sacrifices to hinder their pursuit.
