Zhong Kangshun understood that once the enemy attacked, it would be a time to fight to the death.
Even a peak cultivator like him in the Purple Mansion stage might be in danger of perishing.
Because, as an open assault team, they are bound to attract the most firepower and endure the fiercest attacks.
He also needs to buy more time to hold off the reinforcements.
It's probably impossible to do without putting in a lot of effort.
He was well aware of this.
When they first discussed it, Lin Xiuyuan felt that this move was too dangerous. Although it could increase the chances of victory, it also risked annihilation. So he suggested that Lin Xiuyuan accompany him to launch a surprise attack on the camp first, and then split up the forces for a surprise attack.
But as the one who proposed this tactic, he naturally understood how much chance of winning it would bring, and that's why he persisted with it.
He brought with him the sect's elite, who were sworn to follow him to the death and spread the might of Yunxiao!
"You rogue cultivators, do you even know what the Cloud Sword is? Today I will show you!"
Zhong Kang held the spirit stone in his hand and slowly sat down to meditate and recover his magical power, but his eyes were fixed on Qianlixiang in front of him.
...
With a "sizzle," a stick of incense was lit in front of me.
The wisps of smoke gradually rose, condensing and not dissipating, as if possessing a consciousness, slowly outlining characters that appeared before our eyes.
“Enemy reinforcements have arrived, numbering at least a thousand, and are heading straight for the medicine garden.”
"Thousands?" Lin Xiuyuan murmured, his expression slightly grave. "Then it seems difficult to hold off Protector Zhong?"
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he hesitated.
As the information was fully presented, the fragrant incense quickly burst into flames, turning to ashes and vanishing completely...
Silence fell again, occasionally broken by the faint sound of the movement of spiritual energy in the world, like a gentle breeze.
Another half hour or so passed.
The first stick of incense at the front sizzled as it burned.
Wisps of smoke rose, intertwining and coalescing to form two characters.
"Let the battle begin!"
Without hesitation, Lin Xiuyuan immediately released his divine sense to act.
It covered the remaining four sprigs of jasmine standing in front of it.
The next moment, the four sticks of incense instantly ignited and burned out quickly.
Lin Xiuyuan then slowly stood up.
The cultivators behind him immediately opened their eyes and looked over, their gazes converging on Lin Xiuyuan's back.
"Gentlemen, the time has come, let's make our move!"
Lin Xiuyuan said calmly.
"This disciple obeys and is willing to fight alongside Master Lin!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their expressions gradually turning stern.
Aside from the few rogue cultivators who had surrendered, a complex expression appeared on their faces...
They never expected that after surrendering, they would not only not be imprisoned, but would be put to good use, being made to maintain the formation and serve as laborers.
Now, are they even leading them to attack the Loose Cultivator Alliance?
No, it's only been a short time since they surrendered.
Lin Xiuyuan was clearly not in the mood to care about what some people were thinking. Holding the Black Fire Pupil in one hand and the Falling Mountain Hammer in the other, he surged with magical power and soared forward into the air.
In the battle at the stronghold, Huo Yun briefly held off hundreds of cultivators on her own, but then suffered a continuous onslaught from nearly two hundred cultivators led by two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators.
Even with her incredibly powerful demonic body, she couldn't escape unscathed.
She was almost critically injured, her snake body covered in wounds, and constantly urging her Black Fire Eyes had also greatly exhausted her strength.
It won't recover in a short time.
Lin Xiuyuan then borrowed the Black Fire Eye. Although this treasure could only unleash its full power when it was in Huo Yun's hands, it could still exert a considerable binding effect with the help of her essence blood. In group battles, it was an excellent tool.
Immediately, the cultivators behind them all activated their escape lights and rushed out, heading straight for a mining area ahead!
at the same time.
At the same time, the other four teams also launched their attacks.
final.
As expected.
Five resource sites were attacked simultaneously.
This caused Youqing Daoist and other high-ranking officials to be shaken.
"How could this be? Five resource sites attacked at the same time... Could it be that the Cloud Soaring Sect has sought help from various forces in the Great Yue?"
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Daoist Youqing was immediately taken aback. He stood up abruptly and asked repeatedly.
The subordinate quickly cupped his hands and said, "I don't think that's the case. They used the only Thousand-Mile Fragrance in each resource area to send a message saying there are only two hundred or so cultivators, most of whom have two or three at the Purple Mansion stage. In two of these locations, although there is only one Purple Mansion cultivator, he is a Great Perfection cultivator!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Youqing's expression of astonishment deepened, but the shock in his heart lessened considerably.
"So, it's not a plea for help... but rather the entire Yunxiao Sect has come out in force?"
For a moment, Daoist Youqing was somewhat incredulous and quickly asked again, receiving a consistent reply.
He was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Are they really that reckless?!"
"Then, doesn't that mean the stronghold in front of us is already empty?!"
The incident happened suddenly and was quite astonishing, leaving Daoist Youqing somewhat bewildered.
However, after calming himself down, he immediately summoned a group of senior executives to discuss countermeasures.
When the group of high-ranking rogue cultivators arrived and learned of this news, just like Daoist Youqing not long ago, their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Huh? What is the Cloud Soaring Sect doing? They've sent over two hundred people to each resource location... Isn't that practically their entire force? Just to compete for five resource locations? Only five? Hmm, if you include that surprise attack team from before, that makes six..."
Some people said with doubt and surprise.
However, after a moment of surprise, some people pondered and realized the key to it.
