Chapter 164: A Brief Victory

Suddenly, the Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member turned pale with shock.

Who could have suddenly patted him on the shoulder at this moment, especially without him noticing?

This meant that the other party's strength was definitely far superior to his own. If the person behind him had attacked just now, he might have already been on his way to reincarnation.

This made him break out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that a powerhouse from the Human Race had come looking for him?

This made him afraid to turn around for a moment; he was afraid that if he turned around, he would be done for.

"It seems your plan has failed. You would be better off using fewer of these petty tricks and fighting them head-on. There is no need to fear them; it is not as if we cannot win."

As soon as the person behind him spoke, his suspended heart dropped.

It turned out to be one of their own; the person who arrived was a Soul Transformation Stage member of the Demon Race.

However, he did not know why he had come to find him.

"This subordinate just wanted to catch them off guard, but I did not expect it to be seen through in the end."

"Do you think they are so easily fooled? The people of the Southern Region are not as foolish as you imagine."

"Your actions this time have caused us the loss of quite a few Golden Core Stage members."

"And you even allowed the Human Race to build up their Aura. This is not a good thing."

"I understand, my Lord. This will never happen again."

"It was I who underestimated the people of the Southern Region; I thought they would fall for my scheme."

When he realized he was being held accountable, the heart that had just settled down rose again.

One had to know that none of the Soul Transformation Stage members of the Demon Race were easy to deal with; they were all ruthless characters.

It was indeed his misjudgment that had led to the current situation, and this time, the Demon Race had indeed lost quite a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Fortunately, he had not gotten any of the Demon Race's Geniuses killed; otherwise, he would likely have been unable to escape his fate this time.

He was well aware that his cultivation was decent enough that he still had value to them.

The Soul Transformation Stage Demon Race member did not say much more. He had only come out to check the situation outside, and just happened to see this when passing by.

What a bunch of trash. If it were not for the fact that the one before him had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and still possessed significant value, he would not have let him off so easily.

Afterward, he shook his head and left.

Only after watching him leave did the Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member truly heave a sigh of relief.

But if he made any more mistakes in the future, there would be no more chances.

From now on, he would leave future operations to others; he would just be content to act as a henchman.

Otherwise, if he made another mistake, he would be done for. Anyway, they had more than one Nascent Soul Stage member on their side.

He would not interfere with future plans.

Su Yu watched as the trouble was resolved. It seemed that, in the end, although they had entered the Demon Race's trap right from the start…

…and were constantly in danger, fortunately, their luck was not too bad, and they did not let the Demon Race's scheme succeed.

It seems their team remained as reliable as ever.

When the people from the Myriad Swords Sect saw the person who suddenly appeared before them, they realized it was their Peak Master.

Fortunately, their Peak Master had discovered this anomaly; otherwise, they would have been dead or at least severely injured this time.

The people around had not yet reacted.

Once they did realize what happened, they understood that they had just been in danger.

If the Myriad Swords Sect's Peak Master had not discovered this plan of the Demon Race, they certainly would not have made it back.

This was truly a brush with death.

This also caused the Myriad Swords Sect's reputation in this area to reach its peak; no other people or Sect could compare.

Many Disciples began to say, "The Demon Race is nothing special; I suppose this is their inevitable fate."

This was just as the Soul Transformation Stage Demon Race member had said earlier; the battle this time had allowed their side to build up their Aura.

In the distance, the Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member watched the situation ahead, gnashing his teeth in anger, feeling the urge to go down and deal with them.

But for him to rush over now was impossible. He was not in a hurry to start a war with the Human Race's Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators; if a fight broke out, it would be no joke.

If it affected other plans on their side, he would not have enough lives to pay for it.

At this moment, the Demon Race members saw this and completely retreated.

Meanwhile, the people from the various Sects and Families present wore expressions of long-absent happiness.

It was the first time they had repelled the Demon Race so easily.

After clearing out the remaining Demon Clan members, they also returned. In this great battle, the Demon Race had lost quite a bit of combat power.

This could also be considered a good omen.

In the Inn, Wang Yang and his group did not know about what happened on the battlefield at the first moment.

But seeing the people returning later, with more or less joy on their faces, they could guess how the result turned out.

It was definitely about what they had expected.

Sure enough, as soon as they walked into the Inn, they shouted:

"Waiter, bring me a few pots of your best wine; today I want to celebrate properly!"

"Today was a complete victory!"

"Very well, Honored Guest, I will prepare the best wine for you right away."

After the few people who had just entered ordered their wine, they found a seat and sat down.

"Today, we made those Demon Race people scurry away like rats; I haven't felt this satisfied in a long time."

"Indeed, it has been a long time since I felt this relieved."

"However, that Genius from the Myriad Swords Sect is truly impressive. Fortunately, we brothers are not bad either; we also slew quite a few Demon Race members."

"It's just that we were almost tricked by the Demon Race's scheme."

"Fortunately, it was discovered by our side's Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in the end."

"Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses, and several of us would have lost our lives there."

"It was truly thrilling, but this success will likely make the subsequent battles even harder to fight. However, we are not afraid."

"That's right, but if the Demon Race wants to fight, we will absolutely accompany them to the end."

Everyone present was infected by this atmosphere and followed suit.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Since we are all in the same place, I propose a toast to everyone to celebrate our victory."

Everyone raised their glasses, and Su Yu and his group were no exception; they all raised their glasses together and drank in one gulp.

Wang Yang and his group also learned about the general course of events after they had left.

They had not expected such a thing to happen, but fortunately, it did not cause any major impact.

Alright, they also needed to prepare to plan their journey to the next target.

They also needed to investigate and plan again; their operation this time had been very successful.

Meanwhile, over at the Profound Heaven Sect, Leng Jiahang was also preparing to head to a certain location; he was about to go and garrison a place to prevent any accidents.
