Although Daoist Youqing also had the ability to lead, while arranging for the camp to be set up and various deployments to begin, he also arranged for a group of cultivators to patrol and guard.
There were as many as a thousand people, led by three cultivators at the early to mid-stages of the Purple Mansion realm.
In Youqing Daoist's view, even if Yunxiao Sect were to employ some kind of surprise attack tactic, it would be enough to suppress them.
However, the result was far beyond his expectations.
Although this guard team discovered the Cloud Soaring Sect's attack immediately.
It can generate a lot of magic shields, defensive spells, and so on.
Yet it still suffered a heavy blow.
In a single encounter, at least a hundred cultivators perished on the spot, and a large number of rogue cultivators were also affected, with countless others injured.
Since they were all independent cultivators, their cohesion and cooperation were inferior, and they lacked coordination.
Although the Loose Cultivator Alliance has fought many major and minor battles over the years, most of its elites have been taken to the front lines by Ku Xuan and others.
Those guarding the main camp are mostly recent additions, and their quality is not high.
They already lacked a solid foundation and their magical power was inferior to that of the sect's elites. In addition, they lacked cohesion and cooperation, and were extremely lacking in teamwork.
This resulted in numerous flaws and vulnerabilities in the defensive posture.
And, it erupted suddenly, catching people off guard.
With ease, a single attack of spirit talismans from Yunxiao's forces shattered their defenses.
In particular, among them were powerful experts at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, such as Lin Xiuyuan and Pang Hongbo, who took the lead and poured out their immense power, causing the cultivators at the early and middle stages of the Purple Mansion realm to not dare to confront them head-on and immediately give way.
Thus, it was as if it were destroying everything in its path, completely invincible and unstoppable.
Immediately, this caused great casualties to the guard team of the rogue cultivators.
And this was only the first round of attacks, and only the spirit talismans were activated quickly.
Following closely behind.
It was the power of long-accumulated magic, and the rise of numerous magical artifacts, unleashing astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a dense barrage of attacks erupted once more, crashing down with a deafening roar.
In an instant, countless rogue cultivators perished within its grasp.
All that is known is that this group of nearly a thousand independent cultivators was completely wiped out, with at least half of them killed or wounded.
Those who weren't dead had already retreated to the sides.
Those Purple Mansion cultivators changed color on the spot and retreated again and again. Faced with such power, they had no courage to come forward to block it or to unite their strength to fight back.
A passage was left directly for those belonging to Yunxiao.
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The shouts of battle were deafening. Led by Lin Xiuyuan, they used the Falling Hammer to clear a path, seemingly sweeping away everything in their path.
Yunxiao's forces acted swiftly, gathering momentum and charging directly towards the newly established camp of the rogue cultivators.
Completely ignoring the rogue cultivators on both sides who had been terrified, they took the essence of the surprise attack to the extreme.
thus.
When Daoist Youqing and other high-ranking officers of the army were alarmed, their first thought was that Yunxiao Sect might have really launched some kind of surprise attack tactic. However, thinking that they had already made arrangements, they smiled sneer and leisurely extended their divine sense to see the situation before making their own deployment.
But, the visions seen by divine sense.
The cold, mocking smile on Daoist Youqing's face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, iron-blue hue.
"Fool, idiot..."
Daoist Youqing's face was ashen. Even when he saw the few trusted Purple Mansion cultivators he had specially arranged, they did not dare to lead their troops forward. They could only watch helplessly as Yunxiao's forces attacked the camp.
He was filled with disappointment. "A bunch of good-for-nothings, utterly useless!"
But the current situation left him no time to think, and he quickly summoned the top executives to prepare for battle.
The camp was still under construction, and the various formations had not yet been fully set up.
The attack was so sudden that there was no time to prepare. Who could have imagined that the Cloud Soaring Sect could so easily emerge from the secret realm and, in a short time, slaughter the entire group of rogue cultivators at their stronghold, leaving no one alive? Those who didn't escape mostly surrendered...
With a large army pressing forward and carrying ample information, they believed they could soon drive away or suppress the Yunxiao Sect.
Unexpectedly, the Cloud Soaring Sect not only emerged from the secret realm in a short time and wiped out the large group of rogue cultivators, but also set up such a solid array!
This ultimately led to the current standoff.
Therefore, we can only set up a large formation temporarily, and we still need to mobilize resources from the Zishan Medicinal Herb Garden.
At this moment, Yunxiao's forces easily stormed into the camp.
"Ha, as expected. The overall situation was already sudden, and now the surprise attack on the enemy is even more unexpected, catching them off guard. They hadn't even set up their formations. This should be a great victory; otherwise, it truly shows my incompetence!!"
Seeing the optimal situation unfold, Lin Xiuyuan was immediately overjoyed and even burst into laughter. Then, a chilling killing intent surged forth again, and he led Yunxiao's men to charge in.
Although the guards delayed them for a while, they didn't hold them off for long.
In such a short time, although the scattered cultivators in the camp could react, they were unable to organize themselves into an effective defensive formation.
In an instant.
The long-awaited spell erupted with a thunderous roar.
Multicolored light burst forth with a deafening roar.
Powerful seas of fire spread and engulfed everything, while water dragons swept through the area. Many meteorites rose from the ground, their blue light spreading and giving rise to vines that restricted and hindered their movement.
Various Five Elements spells erupted suddenly.
Furthermore, countless magical artifacts rose into the sky, shimmering with spiritual light and unleashing their power with frenzied abandon.
Whether it was the whistling of sword light, the pressing of stone seals, or the use of clubs, hammers, or needle-like magical artifacts, all surged with full force, streaking across the air like shooting stars before unleashing their power.
That's not all. The long-prepared tactics were just beginning to unfold when countless talismans and array plates were being activated by Yunxiao's forces, seemingly without any cost.
Most of them are talismans and array plates that can be cast instantly. Although their power is not very strong, they are numerous.
Every cultivator belonging to the Cloud Sky Sect threw out at least two or three arrows within a few breaths...
In an instant, a densely packed area was formed, and following the major offensive, they all pressed forward.
This unleashed an almost unstoppable offensive.
Although the independent cultivators in the camp had time to react, they were unable to form a large ranks. They could only hastily activate their spells and magical artifacts, which were insufficient to withstand such an overwhelming offensive.
In an instant, those rogue cultivators suffered heavy casualties once again.
Countless people died under the relentless onslaught.
They directly carved out a gap in the dense crowd in front of them.
They still did not linger in battle, nor did they disperse to annihilate the scattered cultivators who were fleeing in all directions.
Under Lin Xiuyuan's command, Yunxiao's forces continued their advance deeper into the camp as if it were an empty field!
