"They've really made a name for themselves!"
Standing at the very front, Zhong Kangshun couldn't help but sigh at the imposing presence of the rogue cultivators.
If they had charged out earlier, how would these rogue cultivators have had the chance to organize themselves into an army?
Unfortunately, Lin Xiuyuan did not take his advice, but only told him to set up defenses.
Now that the two sides are facing off head-on, the chances of winning are slim.
If things continue like this, we'll only be able to take a beating.
Now, even if they don't want to retreat, they have no choice but to retreat all the way.
"So they really are retreating to the Black Tide Secret Realm!"
Although Zhong Kangshun felt dissatisfied, after Lin Xiuyuan's words, he understood the specific ideas and arrangements. He would not go against them. He turned around and looked around. After seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, especially the disciples of the three families, their hearts were all unsettled. Even the elders of the Purple Mansion were solemn.
"Everyone, calm down. After all, they are just a group of rogue cultivators who are only relying on their numbers!"
"Master Lin arrived with his protectors, and he also brought a great deal of resources. They simply cannot break through this Cloud Dragon Formation."
Zhong Kangshun spoke slowly.
With a signal from his eyes, several disciples of the Xuan lineage immediately took the array flags and activated the array to its fullest extent.
In an instant.
From all directions, it was as if wisps of white clouds had appeared out of thin air, gathering like mist, growing more and more, gradually surging up and spreading out.
In the blink of an eye, it had already spread throughout the entire camp and was still rapidly expanding until it covered an area of ten miles in radius.
It was as if a cloud had fallen to the earth.
Amidst the burst of spiritual light, the faint roar of a dragon could be heard, and a white dragon could be clearly seen swimming within the surging 'clouds and mist,' exuding a terrifying aura.
This is the Cloud Dragon Formation, the highest achievement and most famous formation of the Cloud Soaring Sect's Xuan Lineage, and also the Cloud Soaring Mountain Gate Formation. It combines top-tier defensive and offensive capabilities, ranking among the best formations of its time.
Of course, what has been set up here is only a simplified version, but it is still equivalent to the mountain gate formation of an ordinary sect.
With the addition of other formations and array plates, it is virtually impregnable in the face of this alliance of rogue cultivators.
This is why Lin Xiuyuan hasn't shown himself yet; he's still cultivating in his tent. Although he brought few people due to the garrison period, the support from the sect and spiritual veins is substantial, given the current situation and their abundant resources. With this formation and numerous spiritual treasures, as long as Zhong Kangshun makes proper arrangements, holding out for a period shouldn't be a problem.
However, seeing the imposing presence of the Loose Cultivator Alliance...
Lin Xiuyuan's thoughts wavered somewhat. "Perhaps, we should have directly defeated them earlier, and maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way... No, there must be someone behind them. My strength is not enough to decide the fate of the world. Taking the lead too early and getting involved would still be somewhat disadvantageous."
After observing the situation and pondering for a moment, Lin Xiuyuan decided to proceed according to the established plan.
If we can withstand the opponent's offensive as planned, then our subsequent steps will be much more stable.
at this time.
Zhong Kangshun spoke again: "This Cloud Dragon Formation is a simplified version of the Cloud Soaring Mountain Sect's formation. You can all rest assured that as long as you perform your duties and carry out military orders in an orderly manner, they can only dream of breaking through it in a short time!"
Seeing the power of the formation, the momentum of the Cloud Dragon Formation being activated, and the increasing number of formation plates being activated, the surrounding cultivators immediately felt reassured.
This immediately calmed the many unsettled cultivators, and their unease disappeared.
"Indeed, I had only heard of it in rumors before, and this is the first time I have seen it. It is truly a top-notch formation. Even if it is a simplified version, this Cloud Dragon Formation is extraordinary. It seems that real dragons are hidden in the formation, and the clouds are swirling around it. It has both the majesty of heaven and earth and the wonder of agility and change. It is truly breathtaking."
Ge Yun spoke first, expressing his admiration and surprise.
Then the elders of the other two families nodded in agreement, saying:
"Indeed, with this formation and the main sect's abundant resources, it will be incredibly difficult for them to break through!"
"Hehe, of course, formations have their limits, but I imagine by the time they break through, we will have already retreated."
...
At this moment, the army of rogue cultivators had pressed forward.
Seeing the imposing aura of the formation below, everyone's expressions became more serious.
"Alright, so this seems to be the legendary Cloud Dragon Formation. But do you really think you can completely stop us with just a formation? Fellow Daoists of the Clouds, be sensible. The gap between us is so vast. Just give up the resistance and leave, handing over these resource-rich areas. Otherwise, this place will soon be a river of blood!"
Xue Yuanzi's face trembled with excitement, and he roared impatiently.
It makes one wonder if he might charge in at any moment.
Ku Xuan Sanren couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. This person's cultivation method was extreme, and even his temper was irritable. He could restrain himself when discussing important matters, but when faced with such a highly conflicting situation, he was more likely to generate boundless killing intent and fighting spirit.
However, the final direction of this matter has already been determined.
There's no need to worry about that.
"Heh, you want this place to be a river of blood? Then come and try, and see who sheds more blood."
Inside the formation, Zhong Kangshun replied without any politeness.
"Then there's nothing more to say, kill them!"
Xue Yuanzi snorted coldly and activated his magic weapon without hesitation. It was a blood-red longsword that shone with a rich red light as he poured in his magic power, and he slashed down fiercely.
The powerful cultivators around him, especially those at the Purple Mansion level, also launched their attacks.
