A fierce battle took place—out of the three hundred Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators who came to support, fewer than fifty escaped, many of the fallen were governors from the core circle of big sects, even Yan Xing, ranked second on the Spirit Stream Ranking, was severely injured and had to flee in embarrassment.
Yan Xing was also unlucky. Since his last encounter with Li Baxian at the Spirit Stream battlefield, he realized he could not seek revenge with his own strength alone. The defense battle of Spirit Stream was an excellent opportunity, so he kept a close eye on Li Baxian's whereabouts.
After the formation of the provincial state, he immediately collaborated with other powerful figures from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge to pursue Li Baxian, just in time for this battle, and was unwittingly caught in it, then lectured by a group of low-level cultivators he would not normally take a second look at.
