Chapter 358: Assaulting The Mountain
Qingwang Sect Mountain Gate.
Although it cannot be considered one of the top Great Sects in Xuanzhou, it has long been in the second tier position.
Qingwang Sect previously had low sense of presence in the eyes of cultivators.
Similar to a student in the class with middling results, only remembered when counting numbers.
However, recently, Qingwang Sect’s fame in Xuanzhou has grown quite large, and this name is often heard from cultivators’ mouths.
The reason is naturally the matter that Lu Bai caused at the Dao Commencement Assembly.
Over a hundred Deity Transformation Stage cultivators and a portion of excellent disciples, this loss would be heavy and unbearable for any Immortal Sect.
It was only because the various Immortal Sects shared the loss that no turmoil was caused.
But this loss still needed someone to bear it.
At first, they planned to demand an explanation from Qingwang Sect, get some compensation or whatever, worth a shot anyway.
However, when more and more Immortal Sects made this choice, the situation became somewhat delicate.
Especially for Immortal Sects that were originally weaker than Qingwang Sect, they gradually developed ideas of striking hard.
Compensation negotiations and such, how could they compare to personally going to Qingwang Sect’s treasury to pick and choose.
No Immortal Sect could confront all the Immortal Sects of Xuanzhou single-handedly, let alone Qingwang Sect.
After a period of underground connections, a considerable portion of Immortal Sects reached a consensus, gradually assembling massive cultivator troops around Qingwang Sect.
At this point, with the mindset of taking it if available, the remaining Immortal Sects naturally joined the ranks of using military force to demand repayment from Qingwang Sect.
Even though the main troops had not yet assaulted Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Gate, just the sporadic cultivators intruding into the Mountain Gate during this time had already left the entire Qingwang Sect exhausted.
Yu Xu Zi had been sitting cross-legged at the node position of the Mountain Protecting Grand Formation all this time.
His eyes stared straight at the distant clouds, clearly feeling an oppressive atmosphere like a storm about to come.
“Sect Leader, should we leave a batch of fire seeds?” Wang the Gambler played with dice in his hand, looking as if he did not take these matters to heart.
However, how could that be the case in reality; he was after all Qingwang Sect’s Elder, not to mention the Leading Elder for this Dao Commencement Assembly.
If Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Gate was really breached, other Elders who surrendered quickly might survive, but he would definitely be settled accounts with.
He was purely aware now that struggling was useless, so it did not matter anymore.
Like work that can be finished with effort, even if it means working overtime desperately; but when the workload piles up to the point of being impossible to finish, then just slack off, too lazy to even touch it.
“I have already arranged it.”
Yu Xu Zi glanced at Wang the Gambler, feeling somewhat melancholic inside.
He had already scolded him, so let it be; pursuing responsibility now would not help.
“I never expected Qingwang Sect’s inheritance to end in my hands.”
Yu Xu Zi gazed at the magic power clouds gradually pressing in from all directions, sighed, then flicked his finger lightly, beginning to mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy: “Everyone’s patience seems to have run out, so come on then.”
“Even if we are annihilated, we will not tarnish Qingwang Sect’s prestige.”
Misty spiritual energy surged out from underground at various places in the Mountain Gate; Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Protecting Grand Formation had quietly activated.
This was like the horn signaling the start of battle, causing Qingwang Sect disciples distributed throughout the Mountain Gate to swiftly take action.
The batch of disciples just recruited less than two weeks ago had been sent down the mountain early; even those willing to stay, Yu Xu Zi did not agree.
The disciples currently remaining in Qingwang Sect had at least undergone ten years of arduous cultivation; their cultivation realms were not realistically high, but they could still play some role.
After all, the number of remaining disciples was nearly a thousand, basically ensuring that every operation node of the formation had someone garrisoned.
Incidentally, since Yu Xu Zi did not force the disciples to stay, these disciples who voluntarily remained to live and die with Qingwang Sect actually had fairly good overall morale.
Those with more carefree temperaments even had the mood to chat and joke.
“Heard about it? Even an Immortal Sect like Iron Chain Gang, which got lucky picking up a cultivation technique to establish itself, dares to come divide up our Qingwang Sect this time.”
“Hahaha, no way around it; such upstarts probably don’t even know what a Mountain Protecting Grand Formation is.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely give them an unforgettable lesson.”
“Everyone, farewell for now; hope we can be fellow disciples again in the next life.”
After a Qingwang Sect disciple finished speaking, he turned and flew toward the formation node he was responsible for.
“Good good good, then in the next life I want to be Senior Brother.”
Most of them were not geniuses among their peers.
But at this moment, these Qingwang Sect disciples did not show attitudes based on each other’s cultivation realms; they were all Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters going to death together, all cultivations the same.
Regrettably, joyful times are always brief.
The carefree and cheerful atmosphere was soon swept away.
Rumble!!!
At the front of Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Gate, the sky in this place showed a terror scene like doomsday.
Dazzling lightning, massive dao patterns interweaving, nearly submerging the sky.
Hard to see the interior with the naked eye, but switching to divine sense perception would confirm that amid this terror scene stood hundreds of figures, each emitting heavy pressure enough to suffocate low-level cultivators.
Such a massive lineup was not just from one side.
Every direction of Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Gate had gathered such exaggerated numbers of Great Powers.
And below this scene like dark clouds pressing the city, countless Immortal Sect disciples advanced like orderly worker ants, following a specific order.
By today, these Immortal Sect coalition forces were no longer worried about victory or defeat.
Ideas like quickly succeeding to avoid prolonged delays only arise when the gap between sides is not large.
And now, the gap between the two sides was so vast there would be no second result.
Even if Qingwang Sect’s strength multiplied tenfold, it could only be suppressed by them.
Based on this, the high-level officials of the various Immortal Sects were no longer hasty, choosing to send their own disciples first, directly treating this as a trial.
Boom!
A dazzling divine light shot from the sky, directly striking Qingwang Sect’s Mountain Protecting Grand Formation.
Although it did not directly break through, the magic fluctuation emitted by the Mountain Protecting Grand Formation clearly weakened considerably.
This deafening boom made the Qingwang Sect disciples inside the Mountain Gate somewhat panicked; even having resolved to live and die with the sect, they still could not completely discard the fear in their hearts.
“Golden Scale Lotus, Golden Scale Holy Land actually sacrificed their immortal artifact.”
Yu Xu Zi’s complexion was extremely ugly; sitting at the node of the Mountain Protecting Grand Formation, the pressure he bore was naturally the greatest.
If originally they could hold out for a while, under the opponent’s immortal artifact attack, perhaps not even one incense stick of time could be endured.
