Chapter 3288: ???Defeat???
ching scream echoed through the area, followed by a struggle from the young cultivator before he vanished without a trace. Both flesh and bone were transformed into swirling bubbles. As for the sunken...Lu Xiaitian's intercepted information about the Seven-Leaf Greedy Flower Gu was accurate. After receiving the intelligence, the Howling Moon Wolf Clan swiftly responded and took advantage of the Immortal Army's ignorance of the situation. They assembled their forces and decisively crushed the main force of the Immortal Army in the Phantom Mist Marsh. For a time, blood flowed like rivers, with tens of thousands of Immortal Army soldiers falling in the Phantom Mist Marsh. Dozens of Xuan Immortals, hundreds of True Immortals, and even a celestial immortal from the Immortal Domain was severely injured under the wolf cavalry's onslaught.
This was the heaviest loss suffered in a single battle since the celestial army entered the Illusory Mist Marsh. The thick smell of blood almost covered an area of tens of thousands of miles. I wonder how much benefit that old demon, Ying Langtian, gained by hiding in the dark.
The front line suffered an unprecedented rout. The Howling Moon Wolf Riders clearly had no intention of allowing the Immortal Army to retreat calmly to their rear encampment. Although they also suffered some casualties, they were far less than those on the Immortal Army's side.
The Wolf Rider, upon learning of the Immortal Army's cultivation of venomous wolf demon larvae, was enraged beyond measure. This venomous wolf demon larva was one of the most abhorrent methods to the Wolf Riders; they feared death in battle but abhorred dying by such means above all else.
The enraged wolf riders pursued relentlessly, slaughtering the celestial armies. They continued their rampage, causing a wave of carnage. Several celestial army encampments were overrun one after another. When Shou Cheng arrived at the backlines, all the celestial armies who had come to the Phantom Mist Marsh to fight, except for a few extremely high-level Xuanxians who managed to escape, were almost completely wiped out.
On the other hand, the situation in the Mookun Immortal Realm is much better than that of Gui Ling who suffered heavy losses earlier.
All the personnel from the various fairy armies' camps were heavily drafted forward, in an attempt to stop the wolf riders from further assaulting all the fairy army camps. Mou Feng was also among those conscripted, causing his sparring match with Lu Xia Tian to be indefinitely postponed.
As for whether there will be another opportunity to compare in the future, only heaven knows. Rumors say that Fan Yi and Zhou Zeqin, two powerful cultivators who have reached the realm of true immortals in the celestial domains of Shaocheng and Di Chong, are not much weaker than Mu Feng in cultivation. Their strength may be very close, and it is unclear who is stronger or weaker as they have never fought formally. However, even if there is a difference, it will not be too big.
Even accomplished Golden Immortals like Fan Yi and Zhou Zeqin fell in battle. Survivors who managed to escape the battlefield spoke of their demise: Fan Yi and Zhou Zeqin were killed by a single, powerful werewolf of Immortal level, almost one-on-one combat. While other Immortals and the presence of Werewolf Riders played a role, the impact wasn't limited to Fan Yi or Zhou Zeqin; it extended to Immortal-level werewolves as well.
Matters ended in such a result, which was enough to show the depth of the Howling Moon Wolf Clan. Even among those of the same realm, the Howling Moon Wolf Clan was still ahead of the Immortal Domain that had already participated in the battle at this time.
In fact, compared to the overall strength of the two major immortal realms like Shuocheng and Di Chong, they are already much stronger than those of the immortal realms such as Guiling Mu Kun. They are not at the bottom tier of immortal realms, but facing the howling moon wolf clan that continuously strengthens its power from the spatial channel, it is still a losing streak, even in this wave of counterattack by the howling moon wolf clan, their vitality has been harmed.
Zhu Yan and Lü Yiming had lost the mood to continue cultivating diligently. The constant bad news coming from the front made all the immortal soldiers in the camp uneasy.
Zhu Yan and Lv Yiming were originally from the Xianjun camp of Guiling Xianyu. Due to their relationship with Lu Xiaoteng, they temporarily stayed at the camp of Mukun Xianyu.
Originally with radiant beauty, Zhu Yan had already received the message asking them to choose a date to return. Zhu Yan and Lü Yiming had already come to find Lu Xiaoteng, but the current situation was extremely chaotic. The wolf cavalry's advance was faster than anyone expected. One after another, immortal army camps were destroyed, and a large number of immortal soldiers retreated from the front line in defeat. There were also quite a few wolf riders who pursued them all the way.
Even though Zhu Yan and Lü Yiming had confidence in Lu Xiaitian's strength, after hearing that even powerful figures like Fan Yi and Zhou Zeqin, who might be comparable to Zhen Shuo, had fallen one after another, they dared not bring up the matter of Lu Xiaitian and his companions returning to the Xianjun camp in Guiling Xianyu.

Several people were blocked here. Although they were in the fairy army camp of Mukun Fairy Realm, seeing the large crowd did not bring them much sense of security.
Because the front lines were crumbling too quickly and losses were too heavy, with immortal army encampments being captured constantly, it was especially crucial for the rear camps to be stable. At this time, receiving these defeated troops while simultaneously hindering the speed of the wolf cavalry was necessary. It served as a buffer for the continuously arriving reinforcements from further behind.
No one knew the extent to which the wolf riders had grown within the Mistmarsh at this time. But such a collapse, if left unchecked, would eventually lead to the arriving fairy troops being unable to establish themselves and forced into a hasty battle with the Howling Moon Wolf Riders. Even when setting up camp, they were no match for the wolf riders; what would happen in a hurried response was almost obvious to anyone who could see.
But worse than the decisive defeat on the battlefield was the fear that was spreading more rapidly within the ranks of the immortal army.
To date, the Heavenly Court has deployed eight celestial realms' worth of immortal troops to the Mist Swamp.
Every celestial realm has some perilous regions within it, or the endless void constantly generates changes that bring forth new crises. A contingent of immortal troops must remain stationed in the rear to guard against these threats. It's impossible to completely disregard the safety of the celestial realm and deploy all its immortal troops without reservation.
While the celestial armies of Xianyu are present in the Heavenly Court, they are merely comparable to local armies. They are not direct subordinates of the Heavenly Court's core forces.
Even so, the combined might of the eight Immortal Domains' armies was still a formidable force. Under these circumstances, they continued to suffer defeat after defeat against the Wolf Riders. Not only was the morale of the Immortal Army waning, but also the hearts of the soldiers from each Immortal Domain were failing them.
In short, the fairy army in the Illusory Mist Marsh was now on the verge of collapse. They had suffered heavy casualties and the wolf riders had been relentlessly conquering cities and villages along the way. Even the outer camps of the fairy army were struggling to hold their ground. The overall situation for the fairy army was dire, resembling a mountain crumbling apart.

In the eyes of many Xianyu, only by deploying more patrol fairy armies to inspect each Xianyu, or by the Heavenly Court dispatching its most elite direct subordinate fairy armies, could it possibly contend with the Wolf Riders.
The reputation of the howling moon wolf riders is not limited to the demon realm. It is also renowned in the fairy realm, ghost realm, and demon realm.
The Celestial Patrol is responsible for overseeing and suppressing various celestial realms. Although they fall under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court's local celestial armies, they are considered a more elite force than those in individual celestial realms. They belong to the middle tier within the fairy world.
While the celestial armies directly under Heaven's Court were tasked with battling other heavenly realms or serving as the elite vanguard sent to the Immortal-Demon battlefield, they may not have been as formidable as the Howling Moon Wolf Riders. However, they were far superior to local celestial armies. It's just that this rebellion by the Wolf Riders came too suddenly. The surrounding celestial domains responded swiftly, deploying troops with remarkable speed. Yet, the gap between them and the Howling Moon Wolf Riders could not be bridged simply by sheer numbers.ting for someone to reassemble them. This isn't something they were unwilling to do, but rather something they couldn't fully prevent.At this time, all they could do was try to sense as much sword int...
