189: Jiang Lin's persistence and perseverance

Time passed bit by bit.

The sky of Cloud Marsh was completely filled with purple and gray mist.

Even Body Integration Stage Cultivators couldn't see anything beyond ten meters.

Moreover, this field of vision was still shrinking.

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan remained calm, not at all frightened by the sight before her.

Before coming, she had thoroughly understood the environment of Cloud Marsh and the methods the Demon Lord displayed in ancient times.

All of this was within her expectations.

She had already precisely divided the hundred thousand strong army!

Ten people formed a group, one hundred people formed a team, and one thousand people formed a city!

All communications were conducted through special soul Dao methods!

The hundred thousand-person teams, after being divided, enveloped Yundu in layers, starting from the outer regions of Cloud Marsh!

Every ten-person team would be equipped with a Soul Confusing Lamp, which could directly restrain Ghosts!

At this moment, Military Advisor Jia Yinhan was building a command space in the due east of Cloud Marsh, coordinating every thousand-person team.

As a huge map of Cloud Marsh unfolded,

A hundred red dots suddenly lit up on it, appearing in the outer perimeter of Cloud Marsh, completely covering the large cities in the outer perimeter of Cloud Marsh!

The cleansing operation targeting Cloud Marsh officially began!

"Report!"

"In the southwest direction, Sima Family soldiers were discovered entering from the Cangyun border, heading straight for Yundu!"

"Report!"

"In the due north direction, Liu Family private soldiers were discovered entering from the Danxia border, also heading for Yundu!"

"Report!"

"A special fluctuation was detected at the Ziyan border, the strength of the party is unconfirmed!"

"Demonic Qi was detected at the Qingxiao border, but it disappeared after only a brief moment!"

"......"

Listening to the stream of information, Military Advisor Jia Yinhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

With the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, some things can be even more terrifying than Ghosts!

As the commander of the army, she needed to consider all aspects.

She would not overlook any factor.

These might seem like small units, but this was a world of cultivation!

Who knew their specific roles or what strange Dao items they carried?

In the Void Realm, streaks of black sand appeared.

Gradually, they converged into a simplified model of Cloud Marsh.

On top of the model, there were various tags.

They read: "Black-robed Demon Lord appearing out of thin air," "Ancient Hell Demon appearing out of thin air," "Ghosts from Black Yuan Forest," "Hidden Demonic Cult," "Rash Demon Suppression Division," "Conflicted Sima Family," "Mysterious Force One / Demonic Qi"...

The next moment, the tags with various labels suddenly lit up and flew to different parts of the sandbox.

The lights on those tags connected to the void, shining brightly.

What astonished the surrounding strategists was that some of the tags were still moving.

Someone exclaimed directly: "These tags actually directly locked onto those people?"

"What kind of Divine Ability is this? It's truly unheard of!"

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan did not explain, her face calm as she said: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly command the battle and clear out the outer cities as quickly as possible!"

"Send the special operations camp to Soul Nourishing City first to stabilize the four directional array eyes!"

"Send the Demon Suppression Camp to hunt down the various Hell Demons!"

"......"

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan spoke with confidence, her gaze firm, calmly deploying troops and generals, which reassured everyone present.

This woman was not simple!

......

The iron-blooded operation launched by the hundred thousand strong army did not concern many people; the entire Nine Provinces' attention was still on the center of Yundu.

At this moment, Jiang Lin was already covered in wounds, his black robe stained brown with blood, and the golden light on his Xuanyuan Sword was extremely dim!

Everyone knew that with one more confrontation, Jiang Lin would undoubtedly lose!

The only path now was to escape!

Otherwise, it would be suicide!

All the strategists in the world were analyzing if there was any maneuver that could defeat the Demon Lord at this moment.

Clearly, there was none!

One could only clear out the minions, then re-nourish the Xuanyuan Sword's Venerable Intent, then use the Venerable Intent on the sword to cut down that Demon, and then completely Seal it!

But everyone knew how slim the chances were for this path!

It seemed that the celestial phenomena of the past few days referred to the Demon Lord's chaotic era...

Jiang Lin stood up shakily, looking up at the suffocating black-robed Demon Lord in the sky.

He gritted his teeth, leaped up, and swung his sword again towards the black-robed Demon Lord.

Knowing he would surely lose, Jiang Lin still chose to confront him head-on.

"Foolish!"

"He's seeking death!"

"It seems the Demon Lord's emergence is confirmed!"

"Resources will become extremely scarce next; tell Sima Jiang to head towards the special guard team's direction, we need to quickly track back that thief!"

Sima Changfeng frowned as he watched the battle.

Although he said that, he still didn't believe that Jiang Lin would be so foolish!

But no matter what, he now had a more crucial matter: reclaiming those two hundred sixteen Secret Realms.

The marks on the secret realm stones were actually disappearing!

The imprints he had spent a thousand years carving were almost gone in just half a day!

This made him disbelieving!

It wasn't that he didn't want to directly use the marks to trace them back,

But he couldn't pinpoint where in the Nine Provinces those secret realm stones actually were!

The positioning clearly showed them in Cloud Marsh!

But when he tried to trace them, it indicated they were not within the Nine Provinces!

He couldn't trace them at all!

The opponent's methods were simply unheard of!

"Feng Shi, the Qi talisman has been retrieved and is on its way back..."

Before he finished speaking,

Cloud Marsh trembled violently again.

Jiang Lin was struck flying by a purple lightning bolt from the black-robed Demon Lord, and the golden light on Xuanyuan Sword completely faded.

The entire Cloud Marsh was completely enveloped by the Demon Lord's Intent!

All teleportation channels were closed again!

Long Zhiyang in the Imperial Palace also showed a hint of tension in his eyes.

Could Jiang Lin succeed?

Jiang Lin's plan was too bold, too risky!

Could he do it?

With full concentration, Dragon Zhiyang was already ready to use the Human Emperor's technique to recall Xuanyuan Sword at any moment!

Seeing that scene, Long Zijin clenched her hands tightly, her heart in her throat.

He couldn't lose!

Stand up, even if it meant escaping!

As the dust from the explosion settled, Jiang Lin's figure shakily stood up.

All the surrounding Demon Suppression Envoys were already dead.

According to the initial plan,

Jiang Lin had lost!

Completely lost!

His only choice at this moment was to retreat!

But the next moment, he raised Xuanyuan Sword and charged towards the Demon Lord again.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

Jiang Lin was crazy!

Was he going to commit suicide?

The monstrous Demon Lord's thunder directly submerged Jiang Lin!

Thud!

Jiang Lin was sent flying backward.

The next moment, he got up again and rushed towards the Demon Lord.

Once, twice, thrice...

His body was already battered beyond recognition, and the snake shadow on Xuanyuan Sword had also completely dimmed.

He was already at the point of exhaustion!

But he still got up and launched another attack!

Everyone knew this was Jiang Lin's last attack!

Everyone was moved and began to have a hint of doubt.

Was he really doing it for the common people of the world?

Including Sima Changfeng!

But the next moment, everyone felt something different.

Jiang Lin's aura was changing!

With every step he took towards the Demon Lord, the airflow around him grew stronger!

Suddenly, a purple halo rose from Xuanyuan Sword!

Seeing this, Sima Changfeng stood up directly and said in disbelief: "Becoming a Venerable through poison!?"
