Upon hearing the array master's words, Daoist Youqing immediately felt some relief from his worries.
I thought the Cloud Soaring Sect was so powerful that they had set up a formidable array in advance.
Keep in mind that this place is still tens or even hundreds of miles away from the Black Tide Secret Realm!
If it is truly that powerful, having set up such a large formation in advance, it's unimaginable what other methods it might employ later.
Therefore, we can only proceed cautiously and steadily, and not forcefully push forward.
Thus, the best opportunity to suppress the Cloud Soaring Sect was missed.
After all, the Cloud Soaring Sect had already fought a great battle with the stronghold cultivators after breaking out of the secret realm, and they were exhausted and overworked.
Taking advantage of this strong pressure will yield twice the results with half the effort.
Perhaps, within today alone, we can completely suppress the Cloud Soaring Sect's counterattack!
Immediately, Daoist Youqing realized that these were merely obstacles, so he directly ordered the entire army to launch a full-scale attack, with a dozen array masters cooperating to unleash a barrier-breaking technique.
The result was just as the array master had predicted.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
The chain formation was immediately broken, and the array patterns went out one after another. With "poof poof poof," one array plate after another exploded, emitting wisps of green smoke, and then collapsed.
After breaking the chain formation, only a few streaks of light could be vaguely seen in the sky.
Daoist Youqing did not risk sending people to pursue them. When the army was advancing, they were wary of this, fearing that they might fall into an ambush and lose manpower for nothing.
"Keep moving forward! Follow me and wipe out these brats from the Cloud Soaring Sect, then take over the Black Tide Secret Realm!!"
Daoist Youqing waved his hand and continued to direct the army to set off.
The rogue cultivators were also filled with fervor and high morale!
"Yes, now that we are so powerful, the Cloud Soaring Sect still dares to retaliate. They are really overestimating themselves."
"That Black Tide Secret Realm is a small secret realm, abundant in Black Demon Grass, which can bring in hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones a year. The spiritual energy there is also quite rich, making it even more suitable for us Purple Mansion cultivators to cultivate."
"The Cloud Soaring Sect is so tactless now, daring to retaliate outside the secret realm. Do they think we're still the same as we were thirty years ago? They're just throwing eggs against rocks!"
"Originally, we couldn't do anything to them hiding inside. After all, without the cultivation level of a Golden Core cultivator, it's impossible to accurately locate the secret realm's passage in the vast, dark void! Now, haha, they've come out of the secret realm to counterattack, aren't they just handing the secret realm over to us for nothing? After all, our Loose Cultivator Alliance has grown so strong, what can they possibly use to fight us?"
The army of rogue cultivators regrouped and set off again, their momentum aimed directly at the location of the Black Tide Secret Realm.
However, after walking for a while, they encountered another series of traps.
Having learned from their previous experience of suffering losses, the vanguard was well-prepared this time, advancing steadily with their magic shields up, and were not harmed in the slightest by the sudden attacks of the chain formations.
Moreover, practice makes perfect. With the experience gained from breaking the formation last time, the army of rogue cultivators was able to deal with the formation more and more easily this time, and the speed of breaking the formation was also greatly accelerated.
In just five minutes, the second chain of formations collapsed.
Seeing this, Daoist Youqing became even more smug and confident!
In his view, this precisely proves that the Yunxiao Sect has run out of ideas.
If you really have the confidence, wouldn't it be better to just open up and confront them head-on?
Why waste so many array plates to build these empty defensive lines just to buy a little time?
Daoist Youqing curled his lips into a contemptuous sneer: "Heh, no matter what Yunxiao Sect was planning when they retreated, or what kind of confidence they had, they probably never dreamed that my Loose Cultivator Alliance could grow to such a great extent! Now it seems that they are nothing but a paper tiger."
Thus, Lin Xiuyuan's extravagant spending of millions of low-grade spirit stones to purchase array plates and meticulously set up two lines of defense only managed to hold off this army of rogue cultivators for less than a quarter of an hour.
However, these two lines of defense were sufficient. For the Cloud Soaring Sect, whose rear was still embroiled in fierce fighting, this buffer time was invaluable.
And very soon.
The army of rogue cultivators arrived at the third line of defense set up by the disciples of the Xuanmai lineage.
At this very moment, Zhong Kangshun led a hundred members of the Yunxiao sect to this place and began to prepare to resist the advance of the rogue cultivator army.
From here on, things are no longer as ordinary as the simple chain formations formed by array plates.
Instead, they spent a lot of money to purchase high-quality materials and, through the meticulous crafting of the Xuanmai disciples, set up a medium-sized defensive formation, the Pan Dun Formation!
...
…………
The rear is still in the midst of battle.
After Zhong Kangshun led his men to kill most of the high-level cultivators in the surrounding area.
Lin Xiuyuan neither allowed them to linger in battle nor had them join forces to suppress Zhang Lou, a powerful expert at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm.
Since this person is not important, it is sufficient to delay him for now. Moreover, he has exhausted his magical power and is also seriously injured, needing time to recover. He cannot rush to the front line immediately, so it is most appropriate for him to hold them back.
Although Zhong Kangshun and the others had also been injured to varying degrees under the previous onslaught of the rogue cultivators, they were in much better condition than him and still possessed the full power to strike.
Therefore, the main task now is to get to the defensive line as quickly as possible and withstand the enemy's attack.
To buy time for the defense line to regroup and develop countermeasures!
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan ordered them to go to the defense line immediately, taking Zhong Jiajia and other Xuanmai disciples with them, and to travel to the defense line as quickly as possible on a spirit boat.
After instructing Pang Hongbo to quickly eliminate the main elite forces at this stronghold, he immediately followed suit.
The situation was now largely settled.
Many low-level rogue cultivators were already wavering in their minds when they were enveloped by the great formation.
