Most of the cultivators had recovered, and a group of cultivators who had surrendered had been recruited.
For Yunxiao, its heyday is over.
However, this last line of defense, although still known as the Pan Shield Formation for its defensive capabilities, is only of medium size. It is insufficient to form a basis for direct confrontation.
Therefore, Zhong Kangshun had no further ideas about the situation for the time being and continued to make arrangements to hold the line.
This time, the offensive of the rogue cultivators was still fierce.
Many cultivators from the Purple Mansion realm, including Daoist Youqing, took action one after another, intending not to give the Cloud Soaring Sect a chance to catch its breath.
However, Yunxiao's forces had already recovered and were mostly restored, and had even been replenished with a group of surrendered cultivators.
With ample power, the Shield Formation maintained its full defensive strength, and it took nearly five hours for the defensive line to finally be breached.
They then successfully retreated to their stronghold.
Based on the Cloud Array, they will engage in a direct confrontation.
With numerous disciples of the Xuan lineage, including many array masters at the Purple Mansion stage, the Cloud Array, when manipulated, may not be as powerful as the simplified Cloud Dragon Array in terms of offensive capabilities, but it is even more effective in defense.
"I didn't expect that the Cloud Soaring Sect would actually be able to catch its breath and even set up such a large formation so early in the morning."
Upon seeing this scene, Daoist Youqing frowned slightly.
Upon seeing the numerous makeshift defensive lines set up by the Yunxiao Sect to hinder their advance, they guessed the other party's purpose.
However, with such preparations, three lines of shields were set up to form a defensive line, which, despite the fierce attacks, were difficult to break through quickly.
As the Cloud Soaring Sect retreated from their last line of defense, they sensed from afar that the enemy's overall aura had lost much of its decadence.
Seeing such a massive formation rise up again, its aura surging, as if a towering chasm lay before them, transforming this small spiritual mountain into an impregnable fortress!
Daoist Youqing then realized that his plan to quickly suppress the Yunxiao Sect had failed.
Such a massive formation cannot be destroyed by a mere assault.
We must proceed gradually.
Otherwise, if we continue our fierce attack and exhaust ourselves before the formation is broken, and Yunxiao's forces launch their own offensive, then things will be terrible.
Now they have broken through several lines of defense and are advancing relentlessly.
This army of rogue cultivators has already suffered considerable losses, and it is not advisable to continue to exert intense pressure, as this could easily lead to unforeseen circumstances.
Daoist Youqing understood this, so he ordered the army to stop, set up camp, and discuss the attack with the high-ranking officials. He also arranged for the rotation of garrison troops to recover their strength and to organize the distribution of supplies in preparation for the upcoming attack.
...
Between the strongholds, countless array patterns crisscrossed, like a giant net covering the sky and enveloping this small spiritual mountain.
Specks of light burst forth from the invisible space, like a vast starry sky suddenly illuminating in broad daylight, forming a breathtaking spectacle. Yet, beneath this dreamlike appearance, a powerful and majestic aura surged and churned, like an invisible, raging torrent, constantly flowing and roaring.
Zhong Jiajia and Huang Wen, two senior sisters and brothers whose Xuanmai attainments had reached the pinnacle, led the way, gathering the original Xuanmai disciples in the area. In total, nearly fifty Xuanmai elites gathered together.
The disciples of the Xuanmai lineage were orderly and took turns, with hundreds of low-level cultivators assisting them, sitting at the major array bases to maintain the great array in coordination with the disciples of the Xuanmai lineage.
The full power of the formation will be unleashed.
An invisible barrier rose from all directions, its dense array patterns shimmering and flickering. A vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth constantly gathered, coalescing into white clouds that drifted around the sacred mountain, creating a series of extraordinary phenomena. These seemingly ordinary clouds possessed a rich and pure spiritual aura, continuously spreading and permeating the surrounding area!
Zhong Kangshun was constantly busy. He had just arranged for a large number of low-level cultivators to assist the Xuanmai disciples in maintaining the great formation, and then he began to integrate the personnel and organize them.
Logistics were handled by He Chengji. He continuously sent people to the secret realm to retrieve the supplies from the treasure vault and distribute them in turn, including a large number of spirit talismans, array plates, and pills.
It doesn't seem like they're simply preparing for defense.
Because, as soon as Zhong Kangshun finished organizing the team, he gathered all the people except those who were maintaining the formation, or rather, all the combat-capable personnel, together and had them meditate and recover on the spot...
Do all of this well.
Zhong Kangshun's eyes were bright, and a fighting spirit seemed to be surging within them. Before he could even fully prepare, he walked directly toward the spirit boat.
Just as Zhong Kangshun boarded the spirit boat, he saw a tall, slender figure emerge from it.
Immediately, Zhong Kangshun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Manager Lin, you've recovered?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, then nodded, and said, "It's not complete, but it's almost there."
His main problem was the excessive consumption of his magical power. After a day of recovery, with the help of various elixirs, he had recovered about 80-90% of his power.
Secondly, the treatment of the injury is not yet complete.
However, the injuries were not serious to begin with. They were mostly minor injuries caused by the impact of the shockwave, which caused swelling of the meridians and strain on the dantian, as well as minor ruptures of small meridians. After a day of recuperation, most of the injuries have healed. However, the meridians and dantian still need some time to recover.
Overall, as he said, he has almost recovered.
Although it was not at its peak, it was still 90% complete.
Enough for a fight.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Kangshun immediately smiled and said, "That's good, I just happened to have an idea right now!"
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly as he looked at the intense fighting spirit in the other person's eyes.
However, things are different now; we can no longer simply retreat.
The raid on the secret realm has been completed, and the prelude to this battle has begun.
Next, it's time for the main event.
The time for the great battle has come!
Take back everything completely and unleash the might of the heavens!
At this critical moment, although Lin Xiuyuan has a broad perspective, he still needs to rely on a general like Zhong Kangshun for specific strategic plans!
"Very well, Protector Zhong, please feel free to share your insights. I, Lin, am eager to learn!"
Lin Xiuyuan invited Zhong Kangshun to sit down in the main hall of Lingzhou, intending to see what brilliant plan Zhong Kangshun had in store.
