Chapter 231 The world is like a boat, you and I are in the same boat
Chen Yao smiled and said, "No, no. In fact, the common goal of the righteous and the evil is to pursue immortality. However, the righteous seek the eternal existence of heaven and man, while the evil seeks the end of heaven and earth, and only I survive."

Ye Yunqi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What is the difference between the two?"

Chen Yao shook his head: "I don't know. I am just a Jindan Zhenjun, and this matter involves the Yuanying level."

"I still have military duties, so I'll take my leave now."

Chen Yao is naturally a busy man. There are so many battle plans in the army that he doesn't have much time for chatting.

As soon as Chen Yao left, a vicissitudes of life voice suddenly spread in the air: "Ye Yunqi, I am here, are you welcome?"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Upon closer thought, it was the guy who claimed to be the master, Xu Donghua.

Ye Yunqi extended his hand and said in a clear voice: "Senior, how come you have time to come to the front line? Please come in quickly."

In the void, a wave arose, and the old figure of Xu Donghua emerged and landed at the place where Chen Yao had just stood up.

"Haha, I originally came to the front line to take charge, but I didn't expect to hear your conversation when I passed by. Is Mr. Ye interested in this?" Xu Donghua asked tentatively.

Ye Yunqi nodded and said, "Of course, when I go to seek immortals, I naturally want to get a glimpse of the situation behind this road in advance."

Xu Donghua said cheerfully: "It seems that Mr. Ye is very confident. But it is also true that after establishing the Daoyi foundation and reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is only natural for Mr. Ye to be so curious."

Ye Yunqi heard the hint in Xu Donghua's words, so he asked, "I wonder if Master Xu Feng knows the difference between good and evil?"

Xu Donghua stroked his beard lightly, without moving, he had already set up the formation.

"I have been cultivating hard for hundreds of years, and now I am qualified to explore the way forward. I have solved some doubts in recent days. Mr. Ye is also a person who can be expected to reach the Nascent Soul stage. It is not a big deal to discuss a few things with Mr. Ye in advance."

Xu Donghua said, jokingly, "After all, these things are not really secrets. I'm just worried that someone might be too ambitious and affect their mood, so I don't usually talk about them."

Ye Yunqi nodded: "Thank you, Master Xu Feng."

Xu Donghua waved his hand, and a garden suddenly appeared in the air: "Look, little friend Ye, this is the garden next to my villa. I took care of it in my spare time."

Ye Yunqi praised: "Master Xu Feng is quite elegant."

"Haha." Xu Donghua did not respond, but said, "To give an analogy, this garden is the world, and the flowers in it are you and me. Some people once thought that we cultivators are stealing the fortune and spiritual energy of the world, and we must be hated by the world, so there will be thunder tribulations. In fact, it is not true."

Ye Yunqi frowned slightly. In fact, he had heard this statement before and even agreed with it. Otherwise, how could he explain the thunder tribulation?
"Isn't it?" Ye Yunqi asked back.

"No, it's just like this flower. Is the existence of the flower good or bad for the garden? If there are no flowers, can it still be called a garden?"

As Xu Donghua spoke, he saw that Ye Yunqi was a little confused, so he said carefully: "Flowers are part of the garden! The strength of the flowers will only strengthen the existence of the garden. You and I exist because we were born and raised by the earth. We are part of the world. When we become stronger, the world will also become stronger!"

Ye Yunqi suddenly realized: "Yes, we are also part of the world. That thunder tribulation..."

"The monks constantly cultivate in the world, just like the flowers growing in the garden. The garden naturally hopes that the flowers will become better and better, and does not like some inferior flowers to take up too much space in the garden. Therefore, the thunder tribulation is like the gardener's pruning. Of course, some people think that the thunder tribulation is also a kind of nutrient and a blessing for the monks. It's just that the world is ruthless, and some people cannot bear the gift it sees."

Xu Donghua expressed two views and concluded: "No matter what, the righteous cultivators all follow the will of heaven, live with heaven and earth, and seek longevity."

Ye Yunqi nodded, but suddenly noticed a detail and asked, "Righteous cultivators? What about the Demonic cultivators?"

"That's right, righteous cultivator." Xu Donghua continued, "This garden has boundaries, and so does the heaven and earth. We are only in one world, but there is something outside of this world."

As he spoke, the scene in Xu Donghua's hand changed. "This small boat sailing on the sea is like the world. You and I are in the same boat. But from the perspective of the Demonic Path, this is not the case. The origin of the Demonic Path is not even in the boat, but the fear and destruction in this sea of ​​ignorance. That is the power that destroys the world."

"Some people on the ship saw this power and even felt that the ship could not survive forever, so they wanted to find a way to survive alone. No matter what the ship was like, as long as they were strong enough and had enough power, they could survive in the sea, even if it meant swallowing up the ship."

"This is the devil's way. The devil's skills that you saw in the devil's way are not so much eating people as they are devouring the world."

"Man is the spirit of heaven and earth."

When Xu Donghua said this, his eyes suddenly changed, the scene in his hand disappeared in an instant, and his expression suddenly became absent-minded: "Oh, I forgot, I have important military affairs to deal with, so I won't stay any longer."

Even if Ye Yunqi was not very perceptive, he could tell that Xu Donghua had said too much, and something had happened to stop him from talking any more.

In response to this, he stopped arguing and stood up and said, "Then shall I see the old peak master off?"

"No need, no need." Xu Donghua left in a hurry, as if he was really in a hurry about something.

In the following time, everything was normal.

However, the actions of the Taoist army became more and more frequent.

It seemed that a lot of news about the actions and formations of the demon army came from Jingshan. The Taoist army divided into countless teams and continued to enter Jingshan to break the formations.

These changes were so subtle that people did not notice anything was wrong, and many people were even happy about these developments.

In a Taoist army base, Ye Yunqi was teaching here. While performing the Blood Thunder Art, he said: "My fellow disciples, the key to the Blood Thunder Art lies in the integration of Qi, blood and spiritual power. You see, it's like this..."

I saw a layer of blood-red light surrounding his body, with faint flashes of lightning in the light. As his gestures changed, a blood-red lightning flashed in his hands.

The young monks watched attentively, their eyes filled with a passion to learn.

However, they did not know that danger was quietly approaching. Under the cover of night, an elite force of the demon army quickly sneaked towards this stronghold.

The commander of the demon army was a cunning demon cultivator, and the actions of the Taoist army during this period were instigated by him.

He sent out countless small teams to lure the enemy and set up formations. If the righteous went to destroy them, it would successfully make the righteous forces split outside and leave the inside empty.

If the righteous didn't notice, then he wouldn't have lost anything by successfully setting up those formations.

He also found out that the founder of the method to break the formation was at the front line. Although the method had already been passed down, killing the founder would not cause it to be lost.

But if the raid is successful and such a mission is accomplished, the blow to the morale of the righteous army will be enormous.

Without warning, the demon army launched a surprise attack. For a moment, shouts of killing shook the sky, and black demon shadows surged towards the stronghold like a tide. The demon army cast all kinds of evil spells, and black flames, corrosive venom, and hideous ghosts rushed towards the righteous monks.

Ye Yunqi was startled, but he quickly calmed down. He shouted, "Everyone, don't panic, form a formation to resist the enemy!"

The monks reacted quickly, and they quickly formed a defensive formation according to their daily training. Ye Yunqi stood in front of the formation, with his sword unsheathed, and blood-red lightning patterns appeared on the sword.

He used the Thunder Sword Technique, and blood-red lightning beams shot towards the demon army. Every time a lightning beam hit the demon army, there would be an explosion, blowing the demon army to the ground.

Other righteous monks also performed the Blood Thunder Art one after another. For a moment, the blood-red light in the stronghold collided with the black evil aura of the demon army, erupting into a strong energy fluctuation.

Although the monks fought hard, the attack of the demon army was too sudden and their numbers were too large, so the righteous army was caught in a tough battle for a while.

On the other side, the righteous army divided its forces and attacked according to previous intelligence to break the bait formation set up by the demon army.

The teams quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, heading towards the target location. When they arrived at the location of the formation, they found that the resistance they encountered was extremely weak.

The demon army only symbolically sent out some minions to defend, and these minions were quickly eliminated under the attack of the righteous army.

"It seems that the demon army is just so-so, and these formations are nothing special." A righteous cultivator said excitedly.

The good news continued to be transmitted back to the central military tent where General Chen Yao was.

General Chen Yao sat in the tent, looking at the good news, his brows furrowed more and more. He felt uneasy, thinking that things were going too smoothly, and there must be something fishy going on.

"Something's wrong. There's something wrong here." General Chen Yao stood up and paced back and forth in the tent.

He carefully analyzed each piece of intelligence and found that these formations that seemed easy to break were distributed in places far away from the strongholds of the righteous army, and these places did not have any important strategic significance.

"The demon army will not let us go so smoothly for no reason. They must have a bigger conspiracy." General Chen Yao thought to himself. He immediately ordered all teams to give up trying to break other formations and quickly return to the base.

However, his decision was opposed by some generals.

"General, our situation is very good now, why should we give up? Maybe we can take this opportunity to destroy the demon army's formations in one fell swoop and deal a heavy blow to them!" a general said anxiously.

"Yes, General, this may be a rare opportunity for us and we cannot give it up easily." Other generals also echoed.

General Chen Yao looked at them solemnly and said loudly: "You only see the small benefits in front of you, but you don't see the danger behind. The main force of the demon army is definitely not in these formations. They may want to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack our stronghold. If the stronghold is lost, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

But some generals still insisted on their own opinions. They believed that General Chen Yao was too cautious and missed a great opportunity. However, General Chen Yao had made up his mind. He ignored everyone's opposition and withstood tremendous pressure to forcibly recall the troops.

Although the teams were somewhat reluctant, they still quickly returned to the stronghold to provide assistance as the military order was as firm as a mountain. On the way back to provide assistance, some teams encountered a small group of blocking troops of the demon army, but they did not fight to the death, but broke through the blocking and continued on their way.

At this time, the battle in the stronghold had entered a white-hot stage. Ye Yunqi led the monks to fight a desperate battle with the demon army. The demon army continued to attack the righteous defense formation. Although the righteous monks resisted tenaciously, many of them were injured.

Ye Yunqi saw a young monk being hit by the demon army's attack. He flashed to the young monk's side and blocked the subsequent attack with his sword. "How are you?" Ye Yunqi asked with concern.

The young monk wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said firmly: "Brother, I'm fine and can still fight!"

Ye Yunqi nodded and encouraged: "Good job, everyone hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Just when the righteous army was beginning to lose its strength, the reinforcements led by General Chen Yao finally arrived. The morale of the righteous army was immediately boosted, and they shouted slogans and launched a more fierce counterattack against the demon army.

General Chen Yao led the way, the spear in his hand gleaming with golden light, and every swing of his spear could send several demon soldiers flying. He rushed into the demon army camp as if he were in an empty space, and wherever the spear pointed, the demon soldiers fell one after another.

"Kill!" General Chen Yao roared, his voice like a huge bell, echoing on the battlefield.

The various squads of the righteous army also joined the battle, and they attacked the demon army from different directions. Some squads cast powerful spells, covering a large area of ​​the demon army within the attack range; some squads engaged in close combat with the demon army, with swords clashing and sparks flying.

The demon army originally thought that this surprise attack would be successful, but they did not expect that the righteous army would come to support so quickly. They began to panic, and the originally tight formation began to loosen.

Ye Yunqi was overjoyed when he saw the reinforcements coming. He used the Ye family's Blood Thunder Art again, and this time he used the power of the Blood Thunder Art to its fullest. The long sword in his hand turned into a huge blood-red thunder dragon, which roared and rushed towards the most densely populated area of ​​the demon army. Wherever the thunder dragon went, the demon army was smashed to pieces, and black blood and limbs splattered everywhere.

"Everyone, attack together and don't let the demon army have a chance to breathe!" Ye Yunqi shouted.

The righteous monks responded one after another. They gathered their strength and launched a final general attack on the demon army. Under the powerful attack of the righteous army, the demon army finally couldn't resist and began to flee in all directions.

The righteous army pursued the demon army and killed them all. The battle ended with the victory of the righteous army, but they also paid a heavy price. Many monks were injured, and the tents and facilities in the stronghold were also severely damaged.
