Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Soon, a heaven-shaking great battle erupted here, with streaks of Sword Qi piercing the sky, and all kinds of strange lights and illusions from Demon Arts sweeping across, causing the heavens and the earth to shatter.

In the distance within the defense lines, each military camp formed Arrays, fighting the Demon hordes fearlessly and fiercely.

However, inside the Yuan Camp, they were fighting while tactically retreating, gradually congregating like a stream toward the position that Li Tian Gang signaled for gathering, under the cover of other military camps.

...

...

Liangzhou, Western Region.

On the frontier, dark clouds loomed overhead, indicating the signs of an approaching Demon horde.

From last night, scouts had reported intelligence that on the outer edge of the border, a thousand miles away, figures of Demons were amassing, which immediately tensed Li Xuan Li's body.

He knew that the group of Demons that feigned retreat before were finally unable to sit still.

Thinking of the family letter sent by Li Hao, Li Xuan Li felt a trace of relief. He had trusted Li Hao's words; he hadn't slacked off and always had scouts checking beyond the Frontier Pass, which had indeed been correct.

At this moment, as the group of Demons moved from amassing to advancing, the entire city was within his intelligence surveillance; they had already made preparations for the upcoming battle.

"Have you informed the Eastern Region yet? It's very likely they will also face a Demon invasion!"

"There's no sighting of the Demon King among these Demons; it's possible that the Demon King will go there!"

Li Xuan Li said to the deputy commander beside him.

"We have already reported it."

The deputy commander immediately replied.

"What about Heavenly Gate Pass? Have you sent a message there, telling them to be careful?"

"Someone has been dispatched."

Li Xuan Li nodded slightly, looked at his daughter Li Wushuang, who was dressed in a military helmet and armor, and sighed:

"I've already arranged a carriage and horses for you to leave this place, but you insist on causing trouble. If your mother knew, she would come back and twist my ears off!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushuang's initially solemn and tense face couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Though she had left the Divine General Mansion from a young age, during this brief return, she had already noticed how deeply her parents loved each other.

As their child, she also felt happy.

"Mother would not; she knows about the great battle here. If you were to return, she'd be afraid you'd lose an ear," Li Wushuang replied with a smile.

Li Xuan Li's eyes flickered, and he nodded lightly: "Your mother must be extremely worried by now."

Li Wushuang gave him a slight glare and said, "Dad, with the army upon us, can you please focus on the matter at hand?"

Li Xuan Li glanced at her and said: "The matter at hand is for you to leave quickly, not to drag us down here."

"Members of the Li Family do not shrink from battle; don't forget, I too bear the Li surname!"

Li Wushuang asserted.

However, as she said the last few words, her heart suddenly brought an inexplicable image to mind, causing a change in her expression.

Li Xuan Li's gaze moved to the distance and muttered softly, "They're here!"

Li Wushuang's gaze turned resolute as she invoked her Divine Soul to look far into the distance.

She saw the vast horde of Demons approaching, their numbers about the same as their reconnaissance had indicated.

Li Xuan Li immediately instructed his deputy commander to prepare the war horns for battle.

Atop the city walls, numerous defensive siege weapons were ready, and the cannon towers were loaded.

Boom!

As the Demon horde entered the ambush Array laid out on the outskirts of the city, it instantly triggered the Array. Explosive power burst forth, disturbing the horde and tearing gaps through it.

Li Xuanli's eyes were cold and unflinching, showing no change—it was merely the beginning of a great battle.

However, at that moment, three silhouettes suddenly burst forth from the demon tide, closing in with extreme speed.

With a loud thud, the three attacked in succession; their ferocious might reverberated against the border array, causing a violent impact.

The divine patterns of the array stirred, flashing rapidly.

Li Xuanli's face changed drastically, and with him, the expressions of numerous other soldiers, Immortal Realm generals, all turned to shock.

"Demon King!"

"It's the Demon King!"

Within the demon tide, there were unexpectedly three Demon Kings hidden; previously, they had only detected the dozen or so Great Demons leading the Three Immortal Realms—such a scale was already immensely vast, yet there were Demon Kings hidden within!

"Quick, Xuan Camp's first division, defend the array!"

Li Xuanli urgently roared out.

Li Wushuang's pupils constricted, her body trembling, her breath nearly halted.

It was actually a Demon King!

Watching those three Demon Kings in midair, continuously bombarding the array, each strike caused her heart to pound with trepidation, feeling like she couldn't catch her breath.

"Master should come, but there's only one of him..."

Li Wushuang's face was taut, fixing her gaze on the imposing figure of the Demon King.

When she detected the gathering of demons a thousand miles away last night, she immediately sent a message to her sect, requesting the help of the Thousand Mechanisms Elder.

But it would take some time to arrive.

Even so, could they stop these three Demon Kings if they did arrive now?

Boom boom boom!

The array vibrated, as the three Demon Kings attacked with full force.

A flurry of arrows flew, but when they struck the Demon Kings, they were effortlessly deflected, casually blocked by their physical treasures, unable to inflict any harm whatsoever.

It was like bathing in rainwater, allowing the rain to wash over them for several hours without sustaining any injury.

Li Xuanli immediately commanded not to waste energy, directing the frontline archers to aim at the approaching demon tide instead.

He himself then drew his sword and, calling upon five Immortal Realm generals, soared into the sky.

"Dad!"

"Stay put!"

Li Xuanli shouted angrily, charging forward without looking back.

...

...

To the south, at Heavenly Gate Pass, Cangya City.

The city bustled with exceptional liveliness—peddlers and merchants hawked their wares everywhere, descendants of prestigious families roamed the streets, intending to visit the legend but were kept outside the courtyard.

On Dragon Pass Road outside of Cangya City, a figure was racing towards it.

It was Li Hao.

Lu Chunsheng had taken him to the Yongzhou frontier; from the southern borders, he raced all the way, activating Myriad Attributes, hiding his presence, and finally returned to Heavenly Gate Pass.

Today's Dragon Pass Road, with its tea stalls along the way and the occasional passerby, was utterly different from the desolation when he first arrived.

Li Hao approached a tea stall, asking the owner for a cup of hot tea.

Then, smelling the aroma of steamed buns, he was somewhat surprised, bought two baskets, and began to eat.
