The alliance army marched towards the Northwest, like locusts swarming a field. Not only did their several factions join, but also many opportunistic loose cultivators. Who would refuse the chance to take advantage of the chaos in a battle destined for victory?
It felt more like a parade.
Upon entering the Northwest, they found ruins everywhere, the land covered in debris, with ten homes for every nine empty, and countless refugees, yet not a single undeath creature in sight.
They retreated even more thoroughly than the Mountain Demons.
As they passed through the Jin Country, the Qin Country, and the Quicksand River, they still saw no trace of the undeath creatures, nor many human cultivators. Rumor had it that the Southeast cultivators' army had already advanced to the Protective Forest region, with Qin and Jin countries following.
