Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1504 - 940: Counterattack (2)

In fact, compared to the Martial Arts Families and Martial Arts Clans in the Sea of Spirit, the residents of the Spirit Source Land are already fairly fortunate. Since Yang Zhenshan began the mass migration to the Spirit Source Land, it has been over sixty years.

And in these sixty plus years, there have been no large-scale wars or too many accidents in the Spirit Source Land, and everyone has lived very peacefully.

But in recent years, so many things have happened in the Sea of Spirit. In the last war with the Nether Prison Sect, countless Innate Martial Artists from the Sea of Spirit were killed or injured, and before that, the catastrophe of the Wuxiang Sect caused the disappearance of one-third of the Three Sects and Twelve Families.

In comparison, the casualties of only a few thousand Yujing Guards really don’t seem significant.

After sending all the seriously injured back to the Spirit Source Land, Qu Changkong once again reported to Yang Zhenshan: "We have received information that the remnants of the Nether Prison Sect’s forces are retreating towards Xianling City!"

"Xianling City! Aren’t they going to encounter the smaller forces of the Xuanqing Sect?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will meet!" Qu Changkong replied.

Yang Zhenshan leaned against the chair back, lost in thought, "Have we found any trace of Sheng Youhuang?"

"Not yet," Qu Changkong responded.

Sheng Youhuang is a Divine Soul Realm Martial Artist, and it’s not easy to track her down. Not to mention Sheng Youhuang, even those Golden Body Realm Martial Artists find it difficult to accurately pinpoint their movements.

Yang Zhenshan said, "Have Yun Xiao lead the smaller forces of the major families to support the smaller forces of the Xuanqing Sect, and if possible, directly capture Xianling City for me!"

This battle counts as tearing the mask with the Nether Prison Sect. Since the Sea of Spirit secured a great victory, there is no reason not to pursue the victory.

"What if Sheng Youhuang is also among the remnant forces!" Qu Changkong expressed concern.

"No matter, they have my soul crow, so if they encounter Sheng Youhuang, I can provide support at any time!" Yang Zhenshan said.

For this scenario, Yang Zhenshan was well prepared. He had the soul crow follow the two smaller forces, so that in case they fought an unbeatable opponent, he could support them at any time.

In fact, he was well aware of the current state of the two smaller forces.

The smaller forces of the Illusion Moon Sect had already engaged in battle with the reinforcements of the Nether Prison Sect on the banks of the Yi River. The quantity of the reinforcement troops of the Nether Prison Sect was considerable, with more than ten units along the Yi River. However, these troops came from different families, with some as many as three or five thousand, and some with only a little over a thousand soldiers.

They did not gather together but marched independently, without entanglement with each other.

Thus, the smaller forces of the Illusion Moon Sect easily took down a reinforcement group of more than three thousand and then continued ferociously towards the southeast.

In comparison, the situation on the Xuanqing Sect’s side was a bit more complicated. They had already reached the outskirts of Xianling City, where countless reinforcements had gathered. Although these reinforcements were also autonomous and did not interfere with each other, they had gathered within Xianling City.

Facing the Xuanqing Sect’s forces, which were almost at the city gates, they naturally united to resist.

Just as the Xuanqing Sect was preparing to attack Xianling City, the news of the Nether Prison Sect’s defeat in Wuxiang City also arrived.

In the temporary camp.

Yun Xi stared at the communication talisman, her face a mix of shock and delight.

"True Man, is there any news?" Chu Lingxiao asked.

"There is good news and also some bad news!" Yun Xi put away the communication talisman.

"What is the good news?" Chu Lingxiao was more interested in the good news.

"We achieved a great victory in Wuxiang City, the army of the Nether Prison Sect has been completely routed, suffering heavy casualties. More than half of their Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Body Realm Martial Artists were lost, the Supreme Elder of the Nether Prison Sect, Li Xuanxiao, was killed on the spot by the Mountain Master, and Sheng Youhuang fled in disarray!" Yun Xi said.

Chu Lingxiao’s eyes widened, "Really!"

"Yes, it was sent by my senior brother, it can’t be false!" Yun Xi smiled.

Chu Lingxiao was both surprised and delighted, and at the same time, the tense strings in her heart relaxed.

She was really worried that Wuxiang City would not hold, because if Wuxiang City was breached, they would have no way of retreat.

"That’s great, hahaha, even Li Xuanxiao was killed, the Nether Prison Sect suffered a huge loss this time!"

She shouted in delight.

Beside her, Yang Chengche asked, "What’s the bad news?"

With a serious look, Yun Xi said, "The remnants of the Nether Prison Sect’s forces are retreating towards Xianling City. We must prepare to face the possibility of being attacked on two fronts!"

"Remnants! How many are there?" Yang Chengche frowned and asked.

"Approximately ten thousand remnants! Sheng Youhuang might also be among them!" Yun Xi said.

"This~" Chu Lingxiao fell into worry again.

Sheng Youhuang is after all a powerful Divine Soul Realm warrior, ranked second among the four Supreme Elders of the Nether Prison Sect, only below Wang Henglie.

Facing such a formidable opponent, they had no real confidence to resist.

Compared to Chu Lingxiao’s worries, Yang Chengche wasn’t too concerned, because he held Yang Zhenshan’s soul crow.

"We can’t stay here any longer, let’s retreat at once and first intercept the remnants of the Nether Prison Sect!"

Yang Chengche said.

If they remain here, once the remnants of the Nether Prison Sect retreat, they will face a situation of being attacked on two fronts. Instead of waiting for the remnants of the Nether Prison Sect to come and ambush them, it was better to take the initiative and intercept them.

"Exactly, there’s no time to lose, let’s move now!"

Realizing this, Yun Xi commanded the army to strike camp and move away from Xianling City without hesitation.

At this time, Xianling City had not yet received this information, and their withdrawal left Xianling City in confusion and bewilderment.

However, their bewilderment did not last long. After just two hours, they too received news of their frontline forces’ rout.
