The Five Elements Sect

relied on the formation of the stronghold to repel the monsters that were chasing them, leaving corpses all over the ground. There were monsters, immortal cultivators, Five Elements Sect disciples, and implicated independent cultivators.

Zhang Wanjing commanded the Five Elements Sect disciples to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Everyone was busy. Some people were trembling with fear when they heard the wailing in the stronghold.

After a busy day, Zhang Wanjing met the four Yuanying elders again.

"Wanjing, what are the casualties?"

"Two hundred and sixty-seven people died, five hundred and eighty-five people were injured, and seventy-two people were missing. Independent cultivators are not counted."

Zhang Wanjing gritted his teeth and said, and then Zhang Wanjing stared at Guo Yunfeng coldly.

"Seven or eight hundred casualties, the Five Elements Sect has not suffered such a big defeat in hundreds of years."

Shen Qun sighed. The Five Elements Sect has not had such a defeat for many years. Even when the Heavenly Wolf King counterattacked decades ago, the Five Elements Sect did not have so many deaths.

“We should ask our Uncle-Master Guo about this. If Uncle-Master Guo hadn't been so eager to fight and so hastily accepted the battle, how could there have been such a great defeat?”

“Zhang Wanjing, what do you mean? Do you want to blame me for the defeat?”

“Didn't you strongly request a war? The Purple Source Dao Fruit will take at least two years to mature. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“What's wrong with advancing the army and weakening the power of the Heavenly Wolf King?”

“Why not contact Zhonghang Sect and Yunjian Sect to fight together, so that many fourth-order monsters can join forces? Why not mobilize the vassal forces and forcibly attack with such a small number of people?”

“Are Zhonghang Sect and Yunjian Sect your fathers? You said to join forces, so join forces. How much power do those vassals have? What's the point of mobilizing them? They are nothing but a drag. What's the use of them? They are useless except for holding back.”

“Guo Yunfeng, you old thief, the Five Elements Sect will perish at your hands.”

“How bold, how presumptuous, Zhang Wanjing, I am an elder of the Five Elements Sect. You dare to insult me ​​in public, you are looking for death”

"Come on, kill me if you dare."

Zhang Wanjing was furious and roared at Guo Yunfeng. If he hadn't been stupid and incompetent, how could there be such a great defeat? Seven or eight hundred people were killed and injured. Is it easy to train these disciples? How many of them could have grown to a higher level, but they were all killed by him.

"Brother Guo, calm down."

Shen Qun and Nie Wuyuan stopped Guo Yunfeng. They couldn't fight. Everyone knew that Zhang Wanjing had the natal talisman of the God Transformation Ancestor.

Guo Yunfeng naturally knew that if Zhang Wanjing didn't have the natal talisman, he would have been beaten to death many times, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "I am also three-quarters responsible for this defeat. I will confess to the head and fine him ten years."

"Fine ten years, old thief Guo, so many people died, and you fined him ten years?"

"Of course, it's not enough, do you want this elder to pay with his life?"

Guo Yunfeng sneered. He has been fined ten years, what else do you want? If you want him to pay with his life, then you have to ask others if they agree?

"Wan Jing, Elder Guo is willing to be punished, so let's stop with this."

"Yes, Wan Jing, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We need to save people. Those wounded cannot die anymore. I have notified the sect and urgently sent a batch of healing pills. You have to take care of this."

"Wan Jing, saving people is important."

Shen Qun and others immediately advised him. The Nascent Soul is the pillar of the sect. If he had to die to apologize, the sect would be in chaos. Although it was a pity that those disciples died, they would never let the Nascent Soul Elder pay a heavy price.

Zhang Wanjing knew that it was impossible to do anything to Guo Yunfeng, but when he heard these words, he still had a mouthful of angry blood rushing to his heart. He had a sense of powerlessness, a sense of powerlessness that he wanted to kill the thief but could not turn the tide.

But Zhang Wanjing was more in need of strength at this time. He needed to advance to the Nascent Soul to fight these people to the end, instead of relying on a natal talisman.

"Deducting ten years' salary, haha, what's the difference between this and punishing oneself with three cups of wine"

Lin Jiang heard about Guo Yunfeng's self-punishment and shook his head lightly. In the Five Elements Sect, even a small number of people who have built their foundation, such as him, no longer rely on the sect's salary to live. How much is the salary?

So deducting ten years' salary is a joke, and it is no different from punishing oneself with three cups of wine.

"Now thinking back to what my junior brother said, it makes more and more sense. If I don't have the strength, everything I do is wrong . Only cultivation is the most real thing"

Zhang Shuhua said. He saw how Zhang Wanjing was almost vomiting blood out of anger. As a son, he hated it very much in his heart, but his cultivation was not enough, so being angry was just impotent rage.

"It's good to know. Practice hard. I'm counting on you to take care of me in the future"

"Junior brother, don't slack off. Don't sleep at night, practice"

"Okay, Senior Brother is right."

Lin Jiang did not refute. In the past few years, they have been working in the base during the day and practicing at night. Sleep is almost unnecessary, but Lin Jiang still gets used to lying down for a while every night.

Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, Lin Jiang does not want to become an immortal without emotions. He hopes to be a human being, and sleeping is a basic need of human beings.

However, Lin Jiang is also much more diligent than before. He used to be so bad, how could he work so hard now? The capitalists would cry when they see it.

In the following days, more seriously injured people died one after another. It was not that the sect did not have high-level spiritual medicines, but that they were unwilling to use them. High-level spiritual medicines were too few and too precious. After weighing the pros and cons, the upper level did not give them at all.

At this time, it depends on each person's savings. Rich people can ask others to buy good elixirs. If they don't have money, it depends on luck. If they can survive, they can survive. If they can't survive, Tang Seng will go to the West to seek scriptures.

Some of the missing disciples have also returned one after another, but very few, only a small part. In this battle, the casualties of the Five Elements Sect exceeded 300, including a golden elixir and more than 40 foundation building. The loss was extremely heavy.

Half a month later, the sect mobilized a large number of troops again, but no longer engaged in large-scale combat. Instead, the troops were dispersed and hunted monsters in small teams, just like independent cultivators.

The sect's strategy remained unchanged. The top leaders still adopted Guo Yunfeng's suggestion to weaken the strength of the Heavenly Wolf King as much as possible before the Purple Source Dao Fruit was fully mature.

The Zhongxing Sect and the Yunjian Sect were also like this. They learned from the lessons of the Five Elements Sect and would not engage in large-scale combat. They would weaken the strength of the monsters in small teams.

At the same time, the three sects did not forget the independent cultivators. The three strongholds appropriately increased the purchase prices of various materials to stimulate the enthusiasm of independent cultivators.

Under various measures, the human race launched a fierce attack on the monsters. Every day, a large number of monsters died at the hands of cultivators, and every day, a large number of cultivators died at the mouths of monsters.

Outside the Five Elements Sect stronghold, Lin Jiang and Yue Qing restarted the winemaking workshop. When the monsters attacked, they abandoned the workshop because there were too many monsters and they could not stop them at all.

"Fortunately, the workshop was not destroyed."

"Resume work as soon as possible. It will be a good opportunity to make money in the next two years."

"Of course, increase your efforts. If you miss this opportunity, you will never meet it again in the future."

Yue Qing nodded. There were thousands of disciples from the Five Elements Sect alone. Although the Five Elements Sect provided for their meals, it did not provide for enjoyment such as spiritual wine. The spiritual wine in the base was consumed greatly in the past few days. Their opportunity has come.

"I don't know how Uncle Wei and the others are doing."

Lin Jiang thought of Wei Yunshen and the other three. They have been building a base alone for several years. They have been too busy during this period and have lost contact.

"It should be fine. Our cultivators are now attacking in a big way, and they will benefit from it. The powerful monsters at ordinary times can't stop our attack now." "Maybe,

never mind. According to what I said before, collect the demon pills for me."

Lin Jiang said. He collected a lot of demon pills in the past two years and gave them all to the big sand sculpture. It might be difficult for two to advance at the same time. He can only concentrate resources, but there is still no sign of the fourth-level demon pill.

"Brother Xiao, don't worry. Your business is my business. My uncle has contacted someone from a middle-class family. Their family once had a Yuanying stage cultivator. Now they are declining, but they may have passed down a fourth-level demon pill."

"If the price is right, take it,"

Lin Jiang said. The price of the fourth-level demon pill fluctuates greatly. There are some that cost 100,000 spirit stones, and some that cost 1 million spirit stones. It depends on what kind of demon beast it is.

After two rounds in the workshop, Lin Jiang returned to the base. After Zhang Wanjing and Guo Yunfeng had a fight, Guo Yunfeng could no longer target Zhang Wanjing and his men. Guo Yunfeng was also afraid that Zhang Wanjing would go crazy. If he sacrificed his natal talisman, Guo Yunfeng would basically not be able to escape.

With more people, the base became extremely busy. Various things piled up on Lin Jiang, which tested his management level.

On the contrary, Zhang Shuhua became relaxed. A large number of people from the Five Elements Sect arrived at the base. How could the scattered cultivators dare to make trouble? The demon beasts around were either cleared or scared away. He had nothing to do every day, and even practiced slacking off during the day. He was very hardworking.

Zhang Wanjing became elusive, and Lin Jiang didn't know what he was planning. However, Lin Jiang was very pessimistic about Zhang Wanjing's plan to seize the Purple Source Dao Fruit. There were too many people eyeing the Purple Source Dao Fruit, and the Nascent Souls of the three sects combined totaled more than ten people. How could Zhang Wanjing have the confidence to snatch it?
