Qingzhou, south bank of Qingjiang River
Lin Jiang decided to use military force against the monsters. He asked Lin Huasheng to gather the masters of Qingzhou. Those below the Xiantian level should not join in the fun. At least they must be Xiantian warriors, and those at the level of Wusheng must fight.
In the past ten years since Lin Jiang left, Qingzhou's strength has developed, and there is one more Wusheng. However, this time two people were killed, leaving only fifteen Wushengs in Qingzhou.
Lin Jiang was angry when he learned that the people of Zhonghang Sect who lived in seclusion in Bingzhou did not give him face. He asked Lin Huasheng to call them out of the mountains before, but they ignored him.
In public, fighting against monsters is a major event for the entire human race. In private, Lin Jiang also helped them a lot. If Lin Jiang had not given them the opportunity to sleep, they would have died long ago. Lin Jiang was unhappy if he did not give them this face.
So under the leadership of Lin Huasheng, the two of them rode quickly to Bingzhou. Bingzhou was still in the environment of a large swamp, which was no different from a thousand years ago.
Those people of Zhonghang Sect were hiding in the large swamp. If there were no acquaintances leading the way, ordinary people would not be able to find them at all.
There are only a few hundred people in their secluded place, and the population is quite small, because many awakened Zhonghang Sect disciples have not married, and they really spend their whole lives studying martial arts. Of course, there are also many people who have no intention of getting married, because their family members and children died in the world-destroying natural disasters, and they don’t have that idea. Among
the hundreds of people, there are now three awakened immortal cultivators, led by a man named Feng Mingjie. Feng Mingjie is the descendant of the former Zhonghang Sect’s ancestor Feng Zhang. In the era of immortal cultivation, his prestige in Zhonghang Sect was very high.
"I'm sorry, ancestor Lin, according to reason, you came to invite me in person, and I should obey your orders, but I don't want to go."
After learning about Lin Jiang's intention, Feng Mingjie still refused to leave the mountain.
"You can't just say you don't want to go."
"Ancestor Lin, Lin Huasheng listens to you because you are the ancestor of the Lin family, but you are not an elder of my Zhonghang Sect. If Ancestor Cao Ying comes in person, I will listen, but you, can't."
Facing Lin Jiang's questioning, Feng Mingjie expressed his thoughts. He already knew the strength of the demon. Lin Huasheng had told him about it last time. He didn't want to go anymore. Why would he go to such a dangerous thing without any benefits?
Besides, Lin Jiang is not the ancestor of Zhonghang Sect. Although Lin Jiang and Cao Ying have a close relationship, he is not a member of Zhonghang Sect.
"Feng Mingjie, you're still unwilling to give me face even after I've
explained it to you with all my heart, right?" "Ancestor Lin, why do you have to force us? We, the disciples of Zhongxing Sect, do not want to compete with the world. We just want to live in seclusion here and have never bothered anyone."
"Okay, that's what you said, Lin Huasheng."
"Disciple is here..."
"Let's go to Qingzhou and wake up the remaining sleeping cultivators in Zhongxing Sect, especially those from the Feng family. I remember that there were hundreds of sleeping people in the Feng family, and there should still be quite a few now. Ask them if they are willing."
"Lin Jiang, you dare..."
Feng Mingjie's face changed color. Now they are becoming more and more desperate about the reality, because the disciples of Zhongxing Sect have been living in seclusion here one after another for hundreds of years, and there has been no sign of revival of spiritual energy for hundreds of years. If all the disciples of Zhongxing Sect are awakened, wouldn't that mean the end of all their hopes?
"Why not? Tell me, why not? Who built the secluded place in Qingzhou? Who collected the treasures inside? If I hadn't done it for Cao Ying's sake, would you have had a share? Lin's family, Five Elements Sect, Wangxian Sect, how many people have I given up to give you places? Is this how you repay me?" "
Lin Jiang, if you dare to touch them, I will fight you to death"
"Haha, I was scared, right? When the demons invaded Yunzhou, you were in charge of logistics, right? I remember that I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Are you threatening me?"
Lin Jiang sneered. He was not afraid of being threatened. Now Lin Jiang has plenty of capital to pretend.
Feng Mingjie was furious and was really ready to compete with Lin Jiang, but the other two people from Zhongxing Sect immediately stopped him and said all the good things. If they fought, Zhongxing Sect would definitely suffer.
"Ancestor Lin, we are willing to follow you into battle. For Ancestor Cao Ying's sake, please do not disturb our Zhonghang Sect's disciples. They are all innocent."
"Okay, for Cao Ying's sake, I will spare you this time. Bring all your men above the Xiantian level, and don't leave any of them behind. Gather at the south bank of Qingjiang River and follow me into battle."
"Also, let me make it clear first. If you show any signs of being cowardly, afraid of fighting, fleeing without a fight, or making small moves behind our backs and stabbing us in the back, no Zhonghang Sect disciple will be spared. Instead of waking up your people, we will kill them all."
Lin Jiang left a word and turned away, leaving everyone in Zhongxing Sect with different expressions.
"Sixth Patriarch, things have become awkward. What if they really sabotage behind the scenes?"
"Do you think what I just said is true, or I am just trying to scare them?"
"Sixth Patriarch, that's not what I meant. If it comes to a critical moment..."
"Don't worry, I'm on guard against them."
Lin Jiang sneered. It was originally fine, but now it has become like this, so don't blame him for being on guard against these people.
······
After the battle on the river that day, the monsters on the north bank made much less noise. Although there were small-scale battles, both sides chose to lick their wounds. In that battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.
After Lin Jiang's mobilization, almost all the masters on the Qingzhou side gathered. The three families only left a few people to guard the mountain gates. There were thousands of warriors above the innate level.
The Zhonghang Sect also arrived as promised. They dared not not come. What surprised Lin Jiang was that they actually had four Martial Saints and nearly a hundred people above the Xiantian level. This strength was already quite good. Considering their population, it was already of very high quality.
"There is no tactic in this battle. One thousand two hundred and fifteen people will be divided into five teams. The Martial Saints will be divided into two teams. They will first hide on the north bank, and then Lin Huasheng will lead the team to go deep into the hinterland of the north bank to find the monster Martial Saint to fight. If they can't find it, they will fight immediately to destroy the monster's war potential. No matter what means are used.
In this way, the monster Martial Saint will be drawn out. After the monster Martial Saint appears, he will go to the riverside on the north bank. The remaining team of Martial Saints will launch a surprise attack. The other warriors will block the monster army to prevent the enemy from encircling us with a large army. The battle will begin, and the remaining personnel will begin to command the warships to respond..."
Lin Jiang described the next tactics. There was nothing advanced. He was just going for the monster's high-level. The purpose was to cripple them, and it would be best to wipe out the Martial Saint monsters on the north bank.
Then Lin Jiang organized the group. He put Feng Mingjie in the first group, led by Lin Huasheng, but the other Zhongxing Sect members were placed in Lin Jiang's group. If he made any tricks, Lin Jiang would have a chance to kill him. Of course, he was alone with Lin Huasheng and others, so the probability of him making any tricks was not high.
After the action was planned, they did not set out immediately, but waited until a dark and windy night before the masters took action. Before the action, the warships first cleared the demon spies in the Qingjiang River. This had actually been done all along, but it was more stringent tonight.
"Let's go,"
Lin Jiang gave the order, and more than a dozen warriors who were good at water swam across the river. They carried long ropes on their backs and secretly lurked on the other side, then pulled up the ropes on the Qingjiang River. The people who followed grabbed the ropes and crossed the river, trying to keep quiet.
By the time Lin Jiang crossed the river, most people had already reached the north bank, and those who had gone there first had already controlled the various important roads on the north bank.
"I'm leaving first,"
Lin Huasheng said to Lin Jiang, and then left with nine martial saints. There were a total of twenty martial saints, and each group was exactly ten people.
The ordinary warriors left in teams and secretly lurked at the designated location. After years of exploration and infiltration of the North Bank, they knew the area along the river on the North Bank like the back of their hands. They hid in some mountains and forests.
The night passed quickly, and the North Bank was still quiet. Lin Jiang even saw ordinary monsters going out to work. The social form of monsters was primitive tribes, mainly hunting and gathering, and they almost didn't know how to farm. It depends on the monster's form. If it was a beast with a human head, then there would be no chance.
At noon, Lin Jiang heard the monster's horn, and then the monster tribe they saw in front of them began to chaos. The monsters who went out were rushing back to the tribe. Not long after, teams of fully armed monsters appeared and rushed along the increasingly fierce horns.
After about an hour, Lin Jiang finally saw the figures of Lin Huasheng and his men. Behind them followed a large group of demons, chasing them. Arrows rained down, and there were demons everywhere, charging towards them fearlessly, trying to stop them for a moment even if they died.
"Only seven people are left."
After Lin Jiang saw everyone clearly, his face darkened. Ten martial saints went in, but only seven were seen. Lin Jiang hoped that they had scattered, not been killed.
"Ready,"
Lin Jiang waved his hand, then picked up a special strong bow, bent the bow and put an arrow, aiming at one of the martial saints.
