.
Magic spells and flying swords crisscrossed, splashing out brilliant fireworks; talismans were activated and collided with magic weapons, leaving discarded talismans flying all over the sky; the physical cultivators used their flesh and blood to resist the sword cultivators' sword energy, with every punch hitting the flesh.
The sounds of swords clashing, spells exploding, shouts of killing, screams, and limbs being torn apart were endless, interweaving and lingering, rushing straight into the sky and tearing it apart.
Someone died, and his body fell into the dust; someone's blood splattered upward and landed on Qiu Huahua.
She was standing high in the sky with a sword in hand, far away from the battlefield, looking down at the bloody massacre with an expressionless face.
She was the first person from the Hengduan Mountains Alliance to charge forward, but she was also the first to leave the battlefield.
After all, she is the master of Zhisheng Valley and the leader of the Hengduan Mountains Alliance. How could she really get involved in these things in person?
Take the lead: Just inspire the morale of the alliance, that's what she should do as a leader, instead of doing those lowly things like a reckless man or a butcher.
Her work was done. Now, she only needed to quietly appreciate the slaughter, wait for the outcome of the battle, and then exercise the power of reward and punishment as a superior, counting the spoils, and rewarding or punishing everyone according to their merits and crimes.
This is the charm of power, which is no less than cultivation, beauty, and longevity.
Qiu Huahua was admiring the slaughter at her feet when suddenly a sword light came flying rapidly from a distance, aiming at her.
She turned back coldly, and when she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but frowned.
She was very familiar with the person who came. He was one of her confidants, a Yuanying elder, who was left by her in Zhisheng Valley to guard the base camp.
The Yuanying sword cultivator elder who was guarding the base camp flew towards her in a hurry and panic. His body was covered in blood, as if he had just experienced a great battle.
When the elder came closer, she shouted, "Why are you so frightened?"
She had a bad feeling in her heart, and asked coldly, "Did something happen in the valley?!"
In fact, she didn't believe that anything would happen in Zhisheng Valley, because even if she brought most of her strength to Daojianmen, there were still many cultivators in Zhisheng Valley, and their combat power was stronger than that of ordinary sects.
First, the strength within Zhisheng Valley is still very strong. Second, Zhisheng Valley is well-known, and no sect dares to attack Zhisheng Valley.
Even the Infinite Sword Sect would have to think twice before approaching this immortal relic. After all, the force she left in the valley was originally intended to defend against the Infinite Sword Sect.
"Valley Master!!!" Unexpectedly, when this Yuanying elder saw Qiu Huahua, he knelt down and cried out, "Zhishen Valley... is over!!"
Qiu Huahua's heart skipped a beat. She pressed the Yuanying Elder on the shoulder and asked, "What on earth happened in the valley?"
The Yuanying elder raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and looked at her, crying, "Valley Master! The night before yesterday, an extremely powerful force broke through our mountain protection formation and rushed into the valley. They had countless Jindan Yuanying, and we couldn't resist them at all.
"They burned, killed and looted. They wanted to steal elixirs, spiritual soil, spiritual medicines, skills and classics. They killed ordinary disciples and servants. Only the alchemists were restricted in their cultivation and taken away. All other cultivators died. They set fire to Zhishen Valley..."
After hearing this, Qiu Huahua's energy and spirit were instantly drained away. Her face turned pale and she looked dozens of years older, turning into an old woman with a wrinkled face and a hunched body.
She couldn't support her body and involuntarily took several steps back. She was swaying all over and looked like she could fall down at any time.
She stared at the Yuanying elder blankly and asked numbly, "Infinite Sword Sect?"
"No! It's another secret force that specializes in kidnapping alchemists." The elder gritted his teeth and shook his head. "When I finally escaped from Zhishen Valley, I saw Jian Wuming leading the disciples of Wuyin Sword Sect to kill their way into the valley… It's another force!"
Qiu Huahua's brain froze and she stood there with a blank mind for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses.
She turned her head and looked at the battlefield below. Seeing the blood and corpses, her eyes gradually became bright, and then became fierce.
Why did Zhishengu dare to resolutely launch this war?
Although there were heavy casualties in this war, those who died were all from other sects, and Zhisheng Valley was not hurt at all.
So in the end, no matter whether they win or lose, Zhishengu will have a way out.
But now, regardless of whether they win or lose this war, Zhishen Valley is gone. Their retreat and home have been stolen.
However, if we can take down Daojianmen in one fell swoop and seize Daojianmen's foundation, then we still have a way to go.
There is no way out!
Qiu Huahua's magic power was aroused, and she used magic weapons one by one. She said fiercely to the Yuanying elder: "Follow me, kill!!!"
Finally rushed into the battlefield again.
In front of the colorful poison array, Sun Yichen stabbed Qin Ran through the heart with a sword.
The spot he stabbed was the Dantian, so even if Qin Ran didn't die, he would be crippled.
Kieran was not dead, Kieran did not care.
He forced himself to turn around, his body was split into two by the sword that stabbed into his body. He looked at Sun Yichen indifferently, with an arrogant smile, and the pus sores on his body, the discoloration of his skin, and the body odor all disappeared rapidly, and he turned into a handsome and clean young man.
He and Sun Yicheng kindly reminded: "Zhi Shen Valley is probably gone."
Sun Yicheng couldn't help but frown when he saw Qin Ran's behavior. There seemed to be something wrong with the Qin Ran in front of him.
But he quickly suppressed it, because the news Qin Ran told him made him pay more attention. He smiled and corrected him: "What are you talking about? We have made strict protection for Zhishen Valley, so nothing will happen. On the contrary, Daojianmen is about to be destroyed."
Although Sun Yichen is very scheming and capable, his vision is limited and he does not pay attention to many things.
Qin Ran also smiled and asked, "Elder Sun, do you know the Yuan organization?"
"'Yuan' organization? Haha..." Sun Yicheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "I do know that there is a small auction house for cultivators in Linxian City called 'Yuan' organization. I also know that they are not kind and will secretly kill buyers, and will also kidnap and sell alchemists, weapon refiners, and formation masters.
"Although it's unrighteous, this is the cultivation world. Plus, their organization is too small and not well-known, so I don't pay much attention to it. Why are you suddenly asking about them? Did they attack Zhishen Valley?"
After he said that, he felt it was so ridiculous that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qin Ran didn't care about his smile, shook his head, and said seriously: "Not really! The 'Yuan' organization is actually an extremely powerful terrorist organization that kidnaps people. Its strength is far beyond your imagination."
He said to Sun Yicheng seriously, "You know, on the surface, this war is a battle between Daojianmen and Hengduanshan Alliance, but in fact, it is Daojianmen, Hengduanshan Alliance, Wuyin Sword Sect, Yuan Organization, Xuanqin, five forces competing in secret.
"Why were you able to break into Daojianmen so easily? It was only because I was always on guard against Xuanqin, Yuan Organization and Wuyin Sword Sect."
Five forces?
Sun Yicheng only knew three things. He knew about Xuan Qin and the "Yuan" organization, but he never paid attention to them. After hearing what Qin Ran said, he was skeptical and thought he was just lying to him.
As for the word "easy", he has something to say.
Could it be that easily meant that the Hengduan Mountains Alliance lost most of its strength before it could attack Daojianmen?
Can things like those three gates of hell be called easy?
Did Qin Ran have any misunderstanding about Qing Yi?
"Easily? Aren't you afraid that your tongue will be blown away by the strong wind?" He shouted coldly, "Talking about irrelevant things, who do you think I am? You still want to deceive me?!"
Seeing that Sun Yicheng didn't believe him, Qin Ran explained to him. He was very patient now:
"The Daojian Sect has four peaks... no, three peaks. Each peak has at least three Nascent Souls and forty Golden Cores. But think about the previous battle. How many Daojian Sect cultivators took action?"
The information content of this statement is within Sun Yichen's understanding.
There are no more than fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators and no more than two hundred Golden Core cultivators in Daojian Sect. This is the information they already have.
He thought back and calculated carefully, and found that in the first stage of the God and Ghost Bagua Formation, Daojian Sect produced eighty-eight golden elixirs, hid more than a hundred golden elixirs, and did not use a single Nascent Soul.
At the first stage of the mountain protection formation, the trump card of the black dragon was revealed. The four Nascent Souls, including Xuanming Spirit Tiger and Liu Baiyun, had less than a hundred Golden Cores, and they hid more than ten Nascent Souls and more than a hundred Golden Cores.
As for the Mountain and River Sword Curtain level, it was a performance by Lu Junxing alone, and all other combat forces were hidden.
With this calculation, Daojianmen indeed did not try its best.
Why didn't he feel this way before? Perhaps he was stunned by the casualties.
While calculating, he also discovered one thing: Daojianmen always defended the pass and the casualties among the monks were very rare.
Therefore, after the three battles, the strength of Daojian Sect was not affected too much.
The more he thought about it, the heavier his expression became.
"Besides the cultivators…" Qin Ran continued to explain kindly to Sun Yicheng, "Dao Jian Men still has many trump cards that have not been used, such as the Dao Sect, such as the Dao Jian Sect's fifth peak…
"Now think about it, are you guys fighting too easily?"
Daojianmen's Daomen; Daojianmen has five peaks, but only four peaks. This is also what Sun Yicheng knew, and he knew that Qin Ran did not lie to him.
His heart sank to the bottom. He looked at Qin Ran, somewhat panicked and at a loss.
"And you know what I least expected? Two things that made me not know whether to be happy or sad."
Qin Ran said, and smiled helplessly, "The target of the 'Yuan' organization is not Daojianmen, but Zhishen Valley. Think about it again, what does the 'Yuan' organization do? Killing clients and kidnapping alchemists.
"If they are really a small organization, they naturally wouldn't dare to think about Zhishen Valley. But... I can tell you responsibly that their strength is very strong, beyond your imagination.
"Just think about it now. A Zhishen Valley with empty defenses and full of remaining alchemists is such a delicious piece of meat for the Yuan organization.
"I just realized this, thanks to your reminder."
Sun Yicheng looked at Qin Ran with a deathly pale face. He had a feeling that Qin Ran did not lie to him.
So Zhisheng Valley was in real danger... their home was robbed.
“I just mentioned two things.” Qin Ran continued with a smile, “The other thing is that Xuan Qin is not an enemy to us. In fact, they are our complete allies…”
As he was talking, he suddenly stopped and turned to look outside the Daojian Gate. His sight seemed to see something through the gorgeous poison array barrier.
So he changed the subject and said, "I can't slap you in the face anymore. A very good friend of mine has arrived. I want to meet him and ask him something in person.
"Elder Sun, excuse me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the formation barrier.
"Stop!" Sun Yichen shouted.
He finally figured it out. No matter what, no matter what the truth was, no matter how things would change, there was one thing that could not be changed, and that was...
Kieran must die!
His magic power surged, and he stretched out his body, charging straight towards Qin Ran.
"stop?"
Qin Ran actually listened to him and stopped, waiting for him to kill him.
Sun Yicheng's sword pierced Qin Ran's body again and pierced through Qin Ran's heart.
Qin Ran did not resist at all. He smiled and asked Sun Yicheng, "Do you know how Feng Feiyan died?"
“Feng Feiyan?” Sun Yicheng had some impression of her. She was Jian Yuanjie’s Dinglu, who was very loyal to Jian Yuanjie and wanted to poison Qin Ran…
But before he had time to think about it, Qin Ran, who was right in front of him, suddenly exploded!
Qin Ran's soul flew out of the mist and returned to Danfeng. He shook his head as he flew, "I was ready to let you go, but you came up here to die."
In the dark, gloomy, and poisonous mist-filled Danfeng Alchemy Room, the dark little loli sitting by the alchemy furnace had already put the thick book aside and was now lying on the ground with her butt sticking out, calculating. Her small hands were chubby and looked full of flesh. When she wrote quickly with a pen in her hand, the flesh on her hands trembled.
"The poison is not difficult to cure. What is difficult is the spell cast by a Nascent Soul cultivator..."
The paper pressed to the ground was filled with magical herbs, poisonous herbs, and elixirs. It listed which magical herbs could be paired with which other magical herbs, what poisons they could cure, how to cure them, and how to use poisons. It was written in great detail and in a very regular pattern, with tiny characters densely packed together.
As she wrote, she muttered, "Qin Ran has already developed an antidote to suppress the poison... The poison has been suppressed... Can I add something to the antidote to drive the poison out of the body?"
Following this line of thought, she changed a piece of paper and recalculated, but after a while, she finally discovered that the poison had a strong attachment to the body and ordinary methods could not drive it out.
“…It would be best if the cultivators could remove the poison from the inside out, from the inside out, and the body would reject the poison…” She changed her mind, “…and to remove the poison by oneself, it would be best to use mana…but this poison is immune to mana, mana can’t touch the poison at all…it would be better if we had a soul like Qin Ran…”
"Wait..." She thought of another method, "This poison is strong in immunity to magic power. If it is not immune to magic power, or if magic power can touch it, it will be a little brother...
"It would be great if there was a medicine that was compatible with both poison and magic power..."
Thinking of this, she threw away the paper and pen, found a thick book and started reading it.
Not long after flipping through the pages, in this dark alchemy room, an old witch suddenly shouted loudly: "Ahahahaha... I finally found it!"
Not long after, a dark little loli who looked like an old witch walked out of the research building and found Zhang Junyi by the Sword Washing Lake.
She took out two porcelain bottles and threw them to Zhang Junyi like trash, saying lightly, "These two bottles of medicine can break the poison fog."
"Huh?" Zhang Junyi was stunned, then asked in surprise, "Really?"
Long Qiqi stood with his hands behind his back, showing Zhang Junyi a slender back view, and said in a contemptuous tone: "How dare you, a little poison mist, to act violently in front of me?"
Zhang Junyi looked at Long Qiqi's embarrassed figure and finally believed that the pill in his hand was an antidote, but he did not believe Long Qiqi's big talk.
"This elixir cannot be taken. Those who are already poisoned will have to wait for me to think about it, but it can eliminate the poisonous fog outside and prevent those who are not poisoned from being poisoned." Long Qiqi explained proudly, "You can dissolve this elixir in water, and then find two water spirit root cultivators to cast a spell and sprinkle the elixir water on the poisonous fog. In this way, the poisonous fog will dissipate on its own."
Zhang Junyi didn't understand Long Qiqi's solution, but he was greatly shocked. His master was truly a god-like being able to break the deadly poison of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Master!"
Then he hurriedly retreated to help the less seriously injured soldiers.
After Zhang Junyi walked away, Long Qiqi finally revealed a smug smile on his dark face. It felt really good to pretend to be cool in front of his apprentice.
"See if you dare to disrespect me in the future!"
She hummed with a smile and started to run briskly along the river bank, back to the research building, to continue refining and testing the detoxification pills.
In front of the Taoist gate on the back mountain of the Daojian Sect’s main peak, He Daoguang rushed forward and bumped into the Taoist gate before Gu Yueming could react.
The Taoist gate was a stone door, covered with moss and vines, but extremely hard. The Nascent Soul cultivator He Daoguang bumped into it, breaking his head. A small Nascent Soul flew out from his sea of consciousness.
The Yuanying is the physical incarnation of the soul. Before it becomes a spirit, if it leaves the body for no reason and is exposed to sunlight, it will easily dissipate and be assimilated by the heaven and earth.
…Spiritual energy will automatically flow from places with high concentrations to places with low concentrations.
The reason He Daoguang did this was to commit suicide.
Gu Yueming followed behind him and watched his Nascent Soul fly out and glow in the air.
He could save him, a Nascent Soul cultivator would not die so easily, and he could also save himself; but he had no reason to save him, and he himself did not want to save himself.
Then he will die.
Gu Yueming opened his mouth and sighed, "Why do you have to do this?"
"What else?" asked He Daoguang's Nascent Soul.
Ironically, the technique that He Daoguan practiced was moderate and peaceful, and the light emitted by his Nascent Soul was very holy, which was most in line with mortals' imagination of immortal energy and heavenly light.
The Yuanying in the air opened and closed its mouth, sneering, "Do I have to fight with you and then let you catch me? Let you enjoy the glory while I die in humiliation and torture?"
He Daoguang had undoubtedly betrayed the sect. He was the one who gave the basic formation diagram of the mountain protection formation to Zhishengu, and he was the one who exposed the dragon in the formation.
As for the others, the initial pill incident was probably related to him...
One thing after another, he would not be able to explain to the Daojian Sect unless he died.
"You always say that you want to practice cultivation and seek immortality, but everything you do is for power." Gu Yueming was puzzled. He Daoguang didn't say that he was a person who wanted power, and judging from his face, he didn't look like a person who liked power. Judging from his martial arts skills, that didn't seem like the case.
"Immortality?" He Daoguang sneered, "My road has already come to an end. I have no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Immortality? What do you want me to achieve immortality with?!"
The Nascent Soul emitting holy light stared at Gu Yueming and laughed, "How can you be compared to an old man like you, who is a senior in the God Transformation Realm! You still have the leisure to create an avatar to tease us. You also talk about sharing the joys and sorrows and advancing and retreating together, how dare we mortals aspire to be so high?
"Nascent Soul is my end point, but Spiritualization is just your starting point. Hahahaha..."
Looking at the hysterically laughing Yuanying, Gu Yueming was silent for a while, and finally confirmed: "You once said that you would work hard for the prosperity of Daojianmen... Is it true? Is it false?"
He Daoguan's Nascent Soul just stared at Gu Yueming and laughed wildly. He did not answer, as if Gu Yueming was the betrayer.
Amidst the arrogant laughter, the Nascent Soul gradually dispersed in the sunlight. The holy white light radiated along with the bright sunshine. A powerful, pure and gentle spiritual energy surged from the mountain behind the main peak to the entire Daojianmen.
In mid-air, the battle has reached a fever pitch.
There were twelve Nascent Soul cultivators in Daojian Sect, together with Huang Feiyu and several other genius disciples, such as Qi Yuan, who had not participated in the battle. With the support of the Genius List, they stopped the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Hengduan Mountains Alliance.
The Nascent Souls that are still left in the Hengduan Mountain Alliance are either from small sects or cultivated by Zhisheng Valley itself using elixirs. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Daojian Sect’s Nascent Souls, so even though the Hengduan Mountain Alliance has more Nascent Soul cultivators, the two sides still ended in a draw.
As for the geniuses like Li Shiyin, Zhuifeng and Tian Wenjin whose injuries had not yet recovered, they did not get involved in the battle between the Nascent Souls, but fought together with the ordinary Jindan disciples of the Daojian Sect and the Jindan cultivators of the Hengduan Mountains Alliance.
In this kind of battlefield, the "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin" that Li Shiyin had previously comprehended came in handy.
Sword Qi shot out from her as the center, just like the flying sword technique. While she was entangled with an ordinary Jindan cultivator in front of her, sword Qi flew out to attack, kill, and harass other Jindan cultivators.
Although she didn't kill many enemies head-on, her sword energy always appeared at the critical moment, either to save people or to make the final move. In short, she played a very important role.
Soon an enemy monk spotted her and attacked her deliberately;
However, the cultivators from Daojian Sect also discovered Li Shiyin's role, and they also consciously went over to protect Li Shiyin.
Especially Zhuifeng and Tian Wenjin, they are almost Li Shiyin's bodyguards.
So Li Shiyin had a vague idea of the center of the Jindan battlefield. She controlled the solid star swords one after another, attacking, defending, or helping, and seemed to be in control of this battlefield.
After fighting for a while, she suddenly saw that the master of Zhishen Valley stopped watching the show and controlled countless magic weapons to kill her.
As a result, Daojianmen fell into a disadvantage.
But not long after, Li Shiyin suddenly heard an explosion. She looked over and saw that it was an explosion near the poison array. There was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the center of the explosion. She saw her master's soul flying out of it. So she knew what was going on over there.
Soon, a cultivator suddenly flew out from Danfeng, casting a spell to make clouds and rain. As the rain fell, the strange poisonous fog that lingered around them slowly disappeared. Li Shiyin knew that Qiqi had made a breakthrough in her research.
The poisonous fog disappeared, and the vines on the main peak disappeared with it. Yao Qingke rushed out from it and took the initiative to block Qiu Huahua, relieving a lot of pressure for Daojianmen.
After a while, a neutral and mellow power spread out from the back mountain of the main peak. Li Shiyin sensed the breath of He Daoguang in that power. She knew that He Daoguang had passed away.
She couldn't help but look at Yao Qingke, Song Ze, Yan Tianxing and other Qifeng disciples. Their expressions were very complicated.
He Daoguan is the head of Qifeng, but he is actually a traitor. Their mood and situation are very embarrassing.
As this power spread, Sect Leader Gu Yueming also flew up from the main peak and joined the battle.
To Li Shiyin's surprise, the sect leader's fighting power was very strong, and he could fight against two Nascent Soul cultivators. So the Daojian Sect's fighting momentum was stabilized.
After a fierce battle for a while, the poison array above his head suddenly disappeared. Li Shiyin knew that it was done by her master.
As soon as the poison array disappeared, a strange Jindan cultivator rushed in. Li Shiyin initially thought it was support from Zhishen Valley, but she soon discovered that they were here to help Daojianmen.
There are more than fifty golden elixirs, none of which are very powerful, but they are more than enough to be the straw that tips the camel's back.
Daojianmen thus gained the advantage.
After breaking the poison formation, Qin Ran walked out of the Daojian Sect's mountain gate, passed through the mountain gate town that was littered with corpses, and saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the town street...
