Demon Sword Sect's Undercover

The Daoists soon came up with a plan, involving five Masters, along with Tianfeng and Hong Xiu from the Upper Realm, ensuring there would be no omissions in the plan.

When it comes to breaking formations, no race surpasses humans; as long as you give them time to think, they will have countless ingenious ideas.

Hou Niao and Aunt Nineteen watched the commotion together. Aunt Nineteen was sharp, "Xiao Niao, once you see clearly what's inside, shouldn't I go back to report?"

Hou Niao nodded, "Exactly, we have a month's journey between us and the continent shelf, and it takes at least that long for the Southwest major forces to arrive, so we must plan ahead. I don't want just these few people to run into the Sea Clan's main forces."

Aunt Nineteen laughed, "Are you scared?"

Hou Niao was nonchalant, "Yes, I'm scared. I'm scared of too many people filling this place just for a Beast Tide."

"If the main forces arrive and still haven't caught the Sea Demon's main force, you know that's a high possibility. They might retreat, become timid, or deliberately drag time with us. Will it be a wasted trip for so many people?"

"Is a wasted trip tiring? If I can make a wasted trip, why can't they? It's not like it's a wasted death!"

Aunt Nineteen blinked, "There's another possibility: the Sea Clan won't reinforce Blue Mountain Island but instead attack the Southwest Continent. Can you bear the countless mortal casualties? At that time, it won't just be you; even the Sword Sect will become the target of human criticism."

Hou Niao sighed, "It's a desperate situation, but your assumption doesn't hold because if they do, Lizhi Sea Clan will face the possibility of genocide. The essence of battle is to strengthen oneself first, then eliminate the opponent. The human roots are not only in the Southwest, but the roots of Lizhi Sea Demons are very clear.

Aunt Nineteen, can you stop saying these demoralizing things that irritate and confuse people, and say something nice instead?"

"Something nice? Sure, I feel there are a lot of ordinary mortal auras on Blue Mountain Island..."

The little peacock's feeling wasn't wrong at all. In this aspect, humans can't compare to the ancient holy races. In the subsequent time, Sword Cultivators kept returning to report, all saying the same thing, that there were no signs of Sea Clan activities on the island, only that the Blue Mountain natives were driven away from the two Holy Mountains.

With the increasing information, Hou Niao gradually understood what had happened on Blue Mountain Island over the years.

The Sea Clan invaded Blue Mountain Island seven years ago, engaging in fierce conflict with the Blue Mountain natives. However, the Blue Mountain people's ancient witchcraft was no match for the Sea Clan, suffering severe losses. After a devastating blow, they had to retreat from their ancestral homes, the two Holy Mountains, hiding in various caves across Blue Mountain Island. Fortunately, the Sea Clan did not wipe them out completely. After occupying the Holy Mountains, they focused on their own affairs and were too lazy to delve into the caves to trouble the natives.

For the Sea Clan, staying on land long-term has caused severe discomfort. Asking them to enter the caves is out of the question. Thus, the Blue Mountain natives managed to preserve some strength.

In fact, for these blue-blooded natives, human cultivators and the Sea Clan are both invasive species with no essential difference. But as things developed to this point, they understood that relying solely on their strength wasn't enough to expel the Sea Clan without the help of another invader, the humans.

Hou Niao touched heads with Li Chuping, "Though I don't know what the future holds, we can't ignore the role of the Blue Mountain natives. It's best to find their Saintess and establish contact with them. If we're aligned, they might provide us with help."

Li Chuping nodded, "I'll handle it. If they want to reclaim their ancestral lands, they must pay a price. We can't just hand it back after reclaiming it, right? At the very least, they must organize and prepare before the great battle."

Hou Niao felt a bit overwhelmed, "I wonder what's really in the Heavenly Pit? If the Southwest Cultivator army arrives and finds nothing, it would be quite a spectacle."

Li Chuping shared the sentiment, "So we can't notify them too early, but also not too late, which involves some luck. Too early, and the Sea Clan might flee. Too late, and we'll be under too much pressure here. The last success on the Ying Platform was because the Sea Clan wasn't on guard. Moreover, if Outer Space Demon Beasts join, they will be craftier."

Hou Niao sighed, "Endless troubles: Outer Space Demon Beasts, Beast Tide, the Heaven Creation in fifty years... What does it all signify combined? Forget it, thinking about it won't solve anything. Let's see how the Daoists are progressing, shall we?"

The Daoists were progressing even faster than he expected. The Heavenly Pit entrance had already been gouged a big hole, and the Daoists were methodically expanding it.

Seeing the somewhat familiar scene in front of him, he couldn't help but recall his various experiences here with those Guo Sect Daoists. The world changes like smoke; people change, and he never thought he would return here again.

He's a good spectator, not speaking without understanding, just watching the Daoists methodically push forward.

The Sea Clan also understands formations, but theirs are relatively ancient and lack variation, relying more on natural forces. For example, they're using the power of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain right now.

After observing for a long time, Tianfeng approached him, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

Hou Niao remained calm, "Can I hear only the good news? Handle the bad news yourself."

Tianfeng Daoist was speechless; this guy truly was carefree, "You have to hear both; they're related to you. The good news is that the Sea Clan's outer array barriers aren't an issue. We'll solve it within three days and reach the core of the pit.

The bad news is the final Yuan Magnetic shield of the Divine Mountain can't be breached. It's not about the array's mechanism but purely natural forces. With two Divine Mountains, only possibly a True Monarch's Dao Realm power could pierce through."

Hou Niao was curious, "Is piling on people useless too?"

Tianfeng Daoist shook his head, discussing formations with this brute was exhausting, "It's not a matter of more people. Do you think this is a tug-of-war? Primordial Magnetic Power is a very obscure field. We don't know much and must treat different natural primordial magnetic forces differently. We have never been to this place. I've heard you came here once?"

Hou Niao chuckled dryly, "I did, came here to kill people. What do you think I came here for, to research Primordial Magnetic Power?"

Tianfeng Daoist gave him an intriguing look, "It's your business, and you can't escape it."

Hou Niao felt as if he'd been seen through. He hoped there wouldn't be a moment when he was needed, for a cultivator used to the sky would never want to dive into the dirt like a groundhog.

Yet he had a vague bad feeling.
