Chapter 457: Chaotic Situation

The message Ye Qingxiao had sent him.

It mainly introduced some recent events.

Three years ago.

After Ye Qingxiao reunited with the two brothers, Ye Zhaojun and Ye Zhaoyu, and learned of the Ye family's destruction,

in a rage, Ye Qingxiao reported the matter directly to the Xuantian Sect.

The Ye family was, after all, a subordinate force of the Xuantian Sect; now that it had been destroyed due to the invasion of the Green Demon Clan, the Xuantian Sect would naturally not let it go.

Upon learning that a Void Penetration realm Green Demon had destroyed the Ye family,

and that the entire Daoguang Commandery had fallen into a semi-ruined state due to this Green Demon Clan invasion,

the Xuantian Sect directly dispatched a Void Penetration realm Elder to Daoguang Commandery in Qingzhou, attempting to find the Green Demon who had destroyed the Ye family.

While avenging the Ye family and other subordinate forces in Daoguang Commandery, this would also defend the Xuantian Sect's prestige and intimidate other subordinate forces with wavering intentions.

However, the results found by the Xuantian Sect's Void Penetration Elder were much the same as those discovered by Ye Qingxuan.

In the end, that Void Penetration realm Elder of the Xuantian Sect could only return without success.

Nevertheless, although that Void Penetration realm Elder of the Xuantian Sect left Daoguang Commandery, he did not leave Qingzhou.

Moreover,

after Ye Qingxiao reported the Ye family's plight and learned that a Void Penetration realm Green Demon had already invaded,

the Xuantian Sect dispatched twenty Void Penetration realm Elders to station themselves in the twenty great provinces under their command to guard against further invasions by Void Penetration realm Green Demons.

Although the suppression of heaven and earth is currently too great, and Void Penetration realm experts can no longer break through space to travel through the void,

and their flight speed has slowed significantly,

a mere Void Penetration realm expert can no longer protect an entire great province.

But with Void Penetration realm experts patrolling, it can at least make invading Green Demons wary and reduce the damage.

Unfortunately, compared to the benefits the Green Demon Clan can gain from invading the Earthly Xuan Realm,

the intimidation of merely one or two Void Penetration realm experts cannot prevent those Green Demons from invading the Earthly Xuan Realm.

In recent years, the Green Demon Clan's invasions have not only not decreased but have instead grown increasingly intense.

Fortunately, besides the cultivators of the Xuantian Sect,

in the twenty great provinces under the Xuantian Sect's command, excluding Xuanzhou, there are basically Void Penetration level forces present.

Even in a few of these great provinces, there are forces of the Sky Void realm, or even the Tribulation Crossing realm.

With the cooperation of these forces,

the Xuantian Sect formed a massive patrol team to hunt down invading Green Demons.

This caused considerable damage to the invading Green Demons and greatly struck at their arrogance in most provinces.

Nowadays, in the twenty great provinces under the Xuantian Sect's command,

except for some provinces with weak strength, the situation in other great provinces is relatively stable.

As for those provinces that were already weak, the Xuantian Sect currently has no way to restrict the Green Demon Clan's invasions.

The Xuantian Sect, or rather the major hegemonic forces of the Earthly Xuan Realm, now have most of their strength tied down at the border passes and in the void battlefields.

They no longer have enough strength to spare to protect provinces that are far away.

Now, throughout the entire Earthly Xuan Realm,

except for some great provinces guarded by Sky Void realm cultivators or those above,

in other great provinces, the activity of the Green Demon Clan has become increasingly frequent.

From Void Penetration realm Green Demons down to Purple Mansion and Golden Core level Green Demons, signs of activity have already appeared in various places of the Earthly Xuan Realm.

Among the Green Demons invading the Earthly Xuan Realm, those below the Void Penetration realm are the mainstream.

True Void Penetration realm Green Demons are still a minority.

But even so, they are not something human mid-sized or small forces can oppose.

Out of necessity, in those provinces where Green Demon invasions are frequent,

human mid-sized and small forces with channels have begun relocating to provinces surrounding the hegemonic forces.

Those without channels can only temporarily seal their mountain gates, try to lower their profile, and hope to escape the Green Demon Clan's attacks.

If it were not for many Soul Transformation realm experts voluntarily patrolling the various commanderies and prefectures of their hometowns,

the situation in these provinces with weak forces would be even more chaotic.

It can be said that

in just a few short years, due to the appearance of the wormhole passages,

the chaotic era in local areas of the Earthly Xuan Realm has truly descended.

However, just as the Earthly Xuan Realm is in this state,

the Green Demon Realm is no better.

As two great realms of equal strength, human cultivators are indeed not inferior to the Green Demon Clan.

While the Green Demon Clan invades the Earthly Xuan Realm, human cultivators are also taking turns invading the Green Demon Realm.

Those human cultivators who have already entered the Green Demon Realm are also slaughtering wildly there, destroying the Green Demon Realm's demon veins, and seizing the source of the demon veins.

It has only been a few short years since the two realms connected.

Before the first clash between top-tier experts has even ended, the mid and low-tier cultivators of both races are already fighting fiercely.

Regarding the current situation in the Earthly Xuan Realm,

the moment the wormhole passages appeared, Ye Qingxuan had already anticipated it in his heart, so he felt no turmoil.

Although his true body has not stepped out of the Xuantian Sect, his various avatars are scattered across the regions of the Earthly Xuan Realm.

Regarding the situation of the entire Earthly Xuan Realm.

He even knew more in detail than most cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.

As for the entire Di Xuan Realm.

The most chaotic regions were none other than the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm.

Because in the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm, except for a few prefectures.

Most prefectures had no Void Penetration realm cultivators stationed there.

Under such circumstances, the Green Demon Clan invading the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm naturally became even more reckless.

Fortunately, the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm had scarce resources and low cultivation levels, making them unworthy targets for Void Penetration realm Green Demons to invade.

Moreover, the Green Demon Realm also had such weak regions.

The wormhole passages connecting the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm similarly linked to resource-scarce areas of the Green Demon Realm.

Thus, although most areas of the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm had already fallen into chaos.

Under the advantage of the human race holding the home ground, the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm did not fall.

Instead, after the initial chaos and tasting the sweetness of hunting Green Demons.

Cultivators in the four outer domains of the Di Xuan Realm became increasingly eager to encircle and annihilate the Green Demon Clan, even launching counter-invasions into the Green Demon Realm.

Amidst the war, many human cultivators who had previously been limited by their talents broke through their own shackles and advanced to higher realms.

The same was true for cultivators of the Green Demon Clan.

Stimulated by this situation, cultivators of both races became increasingly active in invading and slaughtering each other.

However, under the flames of war, casualties were inevitable.

Every cultivator's rise stood upon a mountain of bones.

Perhaps those most harmed were the mortals, bewildered and at a loss.

The fall of a single power could trigger the deaths of tens of millions of mortals.

Yet, once this war began, before an absolute victor emerged.

It could no longer be stopped.

Recalling in his mind the intelligence gathered over the years by his many clones, Ye Qingxuan's gaze turned frosty as he unconsciously murmured:

"Is this the sorrow of the weak?"
