On the other side...
Even before Lin Xiuyuan left the Zishan Herb Garden, Zhong Kangshun had already led his army at full speed.
Several days have passed.
They had already reached the eastern front.
As expected, it arrived quietly.
Upon receiving the news, Ge Yun led his frontline troops in a coordinated and large-scale offensive.
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce battle, Zhong Kangshun led five thousand cultivators out, instantly tearing apart the demonic defenses and killing more than three thousand enemies.
This startled the various demonic forces. Seeing the army marching without stopping and pointing its swords directly at the Flowing Stone Mine, they immediately understood the Cloud Soaring Sect's intentions.
They immediately mobilized all their manpower to defend the surrounding resource areas, while the main force concentrated in the scree mine for resistance.
Although the number of people in the four resource areas was not large, they still managed to gather a considerable number of people and set up a large formation to defend it.
The Liushi Mine gathered nearly five thousand cultivators. Although they seemed weak compared to the nearly ten thousand troops of the Yunxiao Sect, they had set up numerous powerful formations to defend themselves.
And they kept sending requests for help to the upper sect.
This place also gathers many elite disciples and protectors from the Hehuan Sect and the Seven Blood Sect.
These powerful sect protectors, and even some of their elite disciples, are almost as strong as the chief disciples of ordinary sects, and can be considered as promising candidates for the chief disciples of large sects like Lin Xiuyuan.
However, Lin Xiuyuan is an exception and is not included in this category...
With this size, we are quite confident that we can withstand the invasion of the Yunxiao Sect's army.
After learning the details, Zhong Kangshun made some adjustments.
Knowing the plan to quickly defeat the enemy is basically impossible to achieve.
They then planned to launch a high-intensity siege, just like the Loose Cultivator Alliance had done when they besieged the secret realm stronghold.
By relentlessly wearing down the enemy, creating openings, and defeating them in one fell swoop, we can achieve our initial strategic objective: to seize control of the enemy's vitals, allowing us to either retreat and sweep across the surrounding areas or advance deep into their heartland!
However, just as Zhong Kangshun made adjustments, dividing the troops into several groups to take turns launching strong attacks and maintain sufficient firepower output.
However, at this moment, he received a message from Lin Xiuyuan via the Thousand Mile Fragrance.
"Hmm? Should we go faster...? The situation might change?"
Zhong Kangshun frowned, but he also understood the importance of the matter. The war on the eastern front had to be resolved before the main sect of the demonic path entered the arena, otherwise the progress might come to a standstill.
Immediately, Zhong Kangshun had no choice but to change his attack strategy again.
...
…………
Lin Xiuyuan returned to the Purple Mountain Herb Garden and stayed there for several days to prevent the Loose Cultivator Alliance's rear army from taking advantage of the weakness of the main camp to launch an attack.
Although, given the strength of the other party, the probability of this happening is rather low.
However, now that the Cloud Soaring Sect is going all out, if the other side really intends to take this opportunity to send troops, it will bring considerable trouble, so we must take precautions against this.
"Steward Lin, after observing the small teams we arranged for several days, it seems that these rogue cultivators have no intention of mobilizing any troops. I guess they dare not come to invade."
After gathering the information, He Chengji went to the main hall to report to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's probably true. Only some of their elite troops came from the front lines. Most of them are ragtag troops that were hastily assembled and recruited before their deaths. It's normal that they don't have the confidence to invade."
He then asked, "Have the rest of the people from Tingfenglin returned?"
"Yes, they have all been recalled and are now working alongside my subordinates to defend the front lines."
He Chengji immediately replied.
Lin Xiuyuan: "Alright, in that case, I'll make some preparations and head to the eastern front. I'll leave this place to you."
"Next, you should pay close attention to the movements of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. The enemy's frontline battle will not end smoothly in the short term. I'm afraid they might not be able to resist making some moves."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Two hours later.
Lin Xiuyuan led two teams of 100 people each and set off together.
The rest of the people were all low-level cultivators, mainly responsible for transporting supplies.
Realizing that the war on the Eastern Front might not go as smoothly as expected and could potentially escalate into a larger conflict, it was essential to prepare supplies in advance.
...
…………
"Boom! Boom!"
The deafening roar, like thunder, echoed throughout the heavens and earth for a long time.
Like thunderclouds descending, the thunder rumbled incessantly, the booming sounds rising and falling, until they seemed to shatter eardrums.
It caused the heavens and earth to tremble.
The cultivators of the Cloud Soaring Sect were filled with murderous intent. At the command of the leading Purple Mansion cultivator, hundreds or even thousands of disciples attacked simultaneously.
In an instant, all sorts of powerful spells streaked across the sky like meteors, rushing towards the great array that shimmered with dazzling light.
One by one, the talismans ignited in the cultivators' hands, transforming into dazzling rays of light. Some were as scorching as flames, some as cold as frost, and some as swift as a gale. Wherever the talismans passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
At the same time, the array plate was activated, and countless array patterns intertwined and flew out, gradually converging into a blazing light, forming a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation, which shot out directly.
The sky was filled with countless spells, creating a dazzling spectacle of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—a breathtaking tapestry that concealed a deadly danger. Sharp whistles, deafening explosions, and the clanging of clashing magical artifacts echoed from within, a cacophony of sounds like a frenzied symphony.
Ultimately, it burst into full bloom like fireworks, creating a magnificent scene. However, one could clearly sense a terrifying and chilling spiritual power emanating from it.
It erupted in an instant, unleashing the spiritual energy that had been brewing for so long, and crashed down on the great formation.
