In a forest thousands of miles away from the Changchun Sect, the thunderous boom of magical combat continued to echo like a series of fireworks and explosions, reverberating far and wide.
The hundreds of birds within the forest had long since fled in fright.
In the forest, four groups could be seen locked in intense battle.
In each group, two to three bushy-haired demonic beasts were cornered, subjected to the attacks of five or six cultivators, placed in the desperate situation of a trapped beast.
The roars of the beast mixed with the groans of the magic artifacts and spells could be heard from far away.
“Not bad at all…”
Chen Dengming, dressed in a light blue robe embroidered with evergreen vines, signifying the second level of the Foundation Establishment, floated in mid-air while closely watching over his disciples’ battle formation.
...
His Divine Change Saber floated beside him, enveloped in spiritual energy, ready to strike at any time.
Seeing the vibrant and heated battle taking place below, a hint of satisfaction surfaced on his face.
One month has passed.
After numerous confrontations with bands of demons and their demonic beasts, these disciples had indeed shown considerable progress.
Compared with the naivety of a month ago, these disciples can now be considered as qualified warriors.
They were cautious, meticulous, and determined, possessing the spirit and courage of true warriors.
This was the strong mental fortitude they had cultivated through the crucible of life-or-death combat.
Dengming was already very satisfied with these twenty-eight disciples.

The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that four disciples had been unexpectedly killed in the over a month long battle campaign.
The situation on the battlefield can change in the blink of an eye.
Especially when encountering demons with strength comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment level, even Dengming could not care for all his disciples.
Injury and death were inevitable.
Guan Le had come to provide aid mid-way, but due to the emergence of powerful beasts at the Foundation Establishment level in other regions, he was dispatched elsewhere.
From this, one could just imagine the number of demons that had snuck in after the breaking of the turtle, snake, and bee line of defense.
Thankfully, it seemed to be reaching its end now, as it has been quite some time since they last encountered a demon of Foundation Establishment level.
“I wonder how many cultivation families will fall after this demon outbreak…
Whether the war at the northeast corner will gradually come to an end…
Whether the Luo family is safe at the moment…”
Chen Dengming’s thoughts fluctuated as the Luo family and Xu Wei came to mind once again.
Every time he thought about this, he was filled with an overwhelming urge to pierce through the battlefield and to go to the former Moonlight Market, to seek out the traces of the Luo family, to find Xu Wei.
But he also knew that these impulses were futile.
Such thoughts were nothing more than a display of powerlessness.
From Liang Yunsheng, Dengming was certain that the Western Region demon cultivators and the demons from the Demon Country, had all forced their way through the outskirts of the Moonlight Market.
The Luo family lived in the Le Mountain Gully just over six hundred miles from Moonlight Market.
There was no way they could have escaped unscathed, unless Luo Bing had led the family away to another location beforehand.
As for his current strength at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, although he might seem strong among Qi cultivating disciples, if he were to truly venture into the chaotic northeastern battleground infested with demons to seek someone, he would likely be at risk of losing his life at any moment.
There were still Golden Core level demons roaming freely on the battlefield.
“I wonder whether I could request the Longevity Sect Daoist friends on the battlefield by using sect contributions, to keep an eye out…
even if I have to go, I should have a plan, be thoroughly prepared, ensure my own safety, and not act recklessly without a purpose.”
Just as Chen Dengming’s thoughts had reached this point, he abruptly heard an outcry from the ground below.
Almost immediately, he was on high alert.
After quickly glancing down, he watched as a gaunt figure burst into a group of disciples.
He immediately tore through the barrier the disciples had created and even managed to shatter the spiritual light barrier of one of them.
In just a blink of an eye, the situation had turned extremely critical.
“Whoosh!”
A flash of terrifying saber light suddenly descended from the sky, the intense killing intent it exuded was so chilling that it caused the hair on the gaunt demon’s back to stand on end.
As he stared transfixed at the rapidly approaching saber light, an unprecedented sense of danger washed over him – the scent of impending death rapidly drew closer.
However, having already made his move, the demon was confident, and in that instant, he sent out a claw attack.
Blood clouds roiled from his sharp claws, stirring the surrounding spiritual energy from nature.
With a wave of the claw, a rain of corrosive pus accompanied the blood clouds, ‘clang’-ing as it struck against the Divine Change Saber.
‘Clang!’ An explosion echoed out as the Divine Change Saber shook, getting thrown back by the overwhelming force, and a thick smoke erupted from the blade.
“Hmm?
It utilized the evil Qi to manipulate the spiritual energy of nature?”
Chen Dengming’s heart tightened and immediately pointed a finger, transforming Gold Touch Skill into a streak of golden light that zipped past.
The gaunt demon lunged forward, seeming to predict what was coming.
It dodged the Gold Touch Skill, moving faster than a ghost in a gust of wind.
As Chen Dengming prepared to launch another attack, he suddenly felt a familiar, chilling murderous intent coming from behind, and the words “Blood Ghost Daoist” flashed across his mind.
While maintaining control over the saber light to continue chasing the demon, he also began to form another spell with his left hand.
“Whoosh!”
A bloody sword light struck in an instant, straight through Dengming’s image.
However, it merely pierced through a piece of wood creating a ‘twang’ sound.
Meanwhile.
Just as the gaunt demon was about to unleash a deadly claw attack on a disciple.
An astonishing surge of Broadsword Qi suddenly arrived from behind, its speed unparalleled.
The gaunt demon’s eyes widened in terror as he tried to evade.
‘Splat’ An icy white saber tip ruptured through his colorful skin, almost piercing through his entire forehead and face, even separating both his eyes.
Slowly, the blood began seeping from the crack.
The demon’s eyes grew distant before they lost all signs of life.
Standing in front of it, the disciple who had narrowly escaped danger had a triumphant smile on his face as he quickly readjusted his belt.
