Chapter 324: Confidence

Chapter 324: Confidence

As the battle raged on, a group of Demon Clan members saw reinforcements arriving and immediately ordered everyone, including the demons, to encircle the newcomers, totaling more than thirty individuals.

Facing the enemy's overwhelming assault, these thirty-plus individuals stood like rocks amidst the surging tide, resolutely holding their ground as the enemy waves crashed against them.

They advanced rapidly through the rolling sea of enemies, leaving a trail of dismembered bodies in their wake.

The ground was drenched in blood, with a continuous flow of it among the scattered corpses.

In the rear, over a dozen Demonic Beasts constantly urged their subordinates to join the attack.

These people and Demonic Beasts had all signed Blood Contracts, rendering them unable to resist. Even though they knew that going forward would be a death sentence, they could only grit their teeth and move forward, for staying behind would be even worse.

Whether it was those in the Qi Cultivation stage or the Foundation Building stage, no one could last more than a breath of time when approaching this group of thirty-plus individuals.

They cut a bloody path through the enemy ranks and reached the central Marketplace.

Upon seeing Wang Hong and his group arriving, Luo Yuxuan and Gu Wei had already rushed out of the building, leading others to charge toward the Demon Clan.

The Demonic Beasts on the enemy side realized that they were no match for such formidable reinforcements and decided to retreat.

"Hmph, they come when they please, and they leave when they want to. There's no such thing as an easy win here!" Wang Hong said as he ordered Luo Zhongjie to lead his men in pursuit of the retreating demons.

He and his senior martial sister turned toward Luo Yuxuan and Gu Wei, who were running toward them.

"Senior Sister, why did you come too?" Wang Hong asked.

"How could I not come? I wanted to see if you were injured," his mother replied.

A mother's worry for her child was boundless.

After achieving their primary objective, which was to attack the Human Clan forces and plunder their wealth, attacking the Cultivation World was only a secondary endeavor for them.

Wang Hong briefly inspected the spoils and then picked up over twenty Storage Bags to hand to the reporting cultivator. "Thank you! You've all worked hard. Take these items and distribute them among yourselves."

"Thank you, Senior!" The cultivator replied with gratitude, not expecting to receive such wealth simply by helping to clean up the battlefield.

During their defense of the Marketplace, everyone had already turned in their Spirit Stones to support the operation of the Large Formation. They had used up any other Spiritual Objects they possessed, leaving them in dire straits.

Receiving this unexpected windfall brought great joy to them, and their fondness for Wang Hong grew significantly.

"Junior Brother, are you trying to buy my subordinates right in front of me?" Luo Yuxuan teased Wang Hong as he watched the excited cultivator carrying the Storage Bags to distribute the spoils.

"How could I dare? I can barely support my own subordinates. These are all Senior Brother's subordinates; Younger Brother wouldn't dare to mistreat them," Wang Hong replied with a smile.

"By the way, Junior Brother, your subordinates have been chasing after the enemy for quite some time now. Shouldn't we go and check on them? In case there's any danger, we can offer assistance," Luo Yuxuan expressed his concern. After all, this situation had started because of him, and he couldn't bear the guilt if any of them suffered casualties.

"No need to worry about them. They can handle this level of danger," Wang Hong said confidently. He had faith in the subordinates he had carefully cultivated. He believed that with the right tactics, even if they encountered enemies several times their number, they could come out victorious. Moreover, Little Peng was with them, and with its current strength, it had few rivals in the same tier unless it encountered a three-tier Demonic Beast.

Luo Zhongjie and the others returned to Blackstone Valley Market two days later. Due to the large number of Demon Clan members who scattered and fled, they had lost track of many of them. However, Luo Zhongjie managed to capture a second-tier Demonic Beast and extracted information about the Demon Clan's hiding place. They then led their group to the demons' lair and exterminated them all.

When Luo Zhongjie returned, he brought back a substantial amount of spoils, surpassing what was collected from the battlefield in Heishi Valley. Although these Demon Clan members had not looted as much as the Treasure Hunters, it was still a significant haul.

Furthermore, even if there were no other riches, the bodies of these Demon Clan members were valuable assets.

Wang Hong estimated that the warehouse would once again be filled to the brim with the spoils from this expedition.

After this battle, Blackstone Valley Market had suffered significant damage. Although there were not many casualties among the personnel, their supplies were nearly exhausted.
