As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 843 Breakthrough
Upon hearing the leader of the Crimson Flame Sect mention Tianchen County, Elder Wang and the others quickly realized what was going on.

Recently, the war between Tianchen and Chaolian County has been so fierce that it's like the sky is falling and the earth is dark.

During the war, some soldiers and generals deserted, and many civilians from the city smuggled themselves out, and then went on to plunder and cause trouble in other territories and sects.

Unexpectedly, some people actually escaped to Xiaoxian Mountain.

Elder Wang paced back and forth. "The sect leader is still in Wanhu. We don't know how long it will take for him to return. Although we can fight those beasts from the Crimson Flame Sect and we might not necessarily lose, we cannot put the lives of our sect disciples at risk!"

Jiang Xiaowen was initially quite anxious, but after hearing the whole story, her eyes brightened slightly, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Elder Wang, why should we fight them? Let's run away!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall widened their eyes in disbelief that such spineless words came from Jiang Xiaowen, who was always bold and eccentric!
"Xiao...Xiao Wen," Elder Chen stammered, "Are you still Jiang Xiao Wen? Have you been possessed by a ghost?"

"Are you still sick?" She reached out to touch Jiang Xiaowen's forehead, but Jiang Xiaowen nimbly pulled back to avoid it.

"Oh dear, Elder Chen, I'm not possessed by a ghost, nor am I sick," Jiang Xiaowen waved her hand.

She continued, "Elder Wang is right. We cannot disregard the lives of our sect disciples. As the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' The most important thing for the Ziyun Sect is not this land beneath our feet, nor these few buildings of the sect, but our people!!"

"If we really fight them later, we probably won't come out on top. After all, we only have 10,000 people, while the other side has several times our numbers. Not to mention, there are several other sects that are eager to make a move."

Jiang Xiaowen chuckled and said, "They say a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. So what if we leave the Purple Cloud Sect as an empty shell? Let's escape first, and when Master returns, we'll settle accounts with them and come back then!"

Jiang Xiaowen secretly stuck out her tongue in her mind.

Revenge is definitely on my mind, but as for coming back... hehe, that's another story!

Master, please don't blame me. This is a critical moment for the sect's survival! Moving the sect to our Great Temple was a last resort for me!
Elder Wang and Elder Chen were persuaded by Jiang Xiaowen.

Elder Wang slammed his fist on the table and said fiercely, "I think that's fine. Let's retreat with the disciples first, and then fight back when the sect leader returns!"

Anyway, the Ziyun Sect only moved here a few years ago, so it hasn't been long and people don't have much attachment to Xiaoxian Mountain.

only……

Elder Chen said, "With war raging outside and so many disciples with us, where should we find shelter?"

“Let’s go to my hometown!” Jiang Xiaowen patted her chest matter-of-factly. “My hometown, Da Su, is the best and safest territory on the Cangmiao Continent!”

Everyone suddenly realized that Jiang Xiaowen had a princess older sister who was very capable and had even won two championships in the power competition!
People respect the strong, and although they had never met Jiang Xiaowen, they naturally held her in high esteem.

Elder Chen hesitated, "But wouldn't so many of us causing trouble for you and your sister? Is it possible for Dasu County City to accommodate our Ziyun Sect?"

“Of course we can!” Jiang Xiaowen assured. “My sister is broad-minded, and the county is currently supporting cultivators to establish sects. If we go, we will not only be welcomed, but we will also receive sect subsidies. Most importantly, we can recruit sect disciples in my Da Su.”

“My Great Su has more than 300,000 people, but there are only one or two small sects in the county. Our Ziyun Sect is an old sect. After we go there, we will definitely be able to recruit many, many disciples!”

Elder Chen, who was in charge of recruiting disciples, was completely tempted upon hearing this.

"Alright, then let's go to Xiaowen's hometown and wait for the sect leader to return!"

Elder Wang: "All disciples, pack your things, assemble, we're leaving immediately!"

Once the two elders made their decision, the entire sect sprang into action. Although the opposing force outnumbered them, the Purple Cloud Sect was no pushover, and carving a bloody path to retreat wouldn't be difficult.

The great formation of the Purple Cloud Sect's mountain gate was broken, and the bandits of the Crimson Flame Sect, with their superior numbers, launched repeated bombardments on the sect.

"boom--"

Jiang Xiaowen took the lead, wielding a flaming heavy sword larger than herself, and slashed at a shifty-eyed man with crimson flames.

The greatsword was swung like a wheel of fire, distorting the surrounding air as if it were being melted by the intense heat.

The leader of the Crimson Flame Sect, a Xuan Bone Realm cultivator with a scar the length of an index finger across his forehead, narrowed his eyes and said, "This little girl is incredibly strong. With one slash, she cleaved a person in two."

"This is the Melting Throat Demoness of the Purple Cloud Sect, every strike aimed at vital points. If you don't defend against the molten lava heavy sword's blow, you're dead instantly!"

The members of the Crimson Flame Sect couldn't help but shiver when they looked at Jiang Xiaowen.

"Given the Ziyun Sect's usual temperament, they should be ready to fight us to the death!"

"Hmph, a mere ten thousand people, yet they dare to fight against tens of thousands of us!"

The Crimson Flame Sect, numbering approximately 30,000, completely surrounded the Purple Cloud Sect.

Jiang Xiaowen's eyes shifted slightly, focusing on a gap on the left, and she made a hand gesture to the disciples behind her.

"go!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

Elder Chen flew over, wielding a long, cyan whip. The whip, like a snake, swept up a cloud of dust on the ground, tearing aside a group of Crimson Flame disciples. An opening appeared in front of them, and many Purple Cloud Sect disciples, who were prepared, poured out one after another.

The Crimson Flame Sect realized, "They're trying to escape?"

Jiang Xiaowen excitedly licked her lips, and crimson flames surged from the sword's edge, transforming into a towering wall of flames that distorted the air and blocked the Crimson Flame Sect members.

"Senior Sister's cultivation has advanced again!!"

"My senior sister and Elder Wang had a fair exchange last time!"

The junior disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect couldn't help but starry-eyed at the sight.

"Xiaowen, you lead the disciples towards your sister's territory first. Elder Wang and I will bring up the rear," Elder Chen said to Jiang Xiaowen, flicking his braid behind him.

"it is good!"

The Crimson Flame Sect isn't particularly strong; it's just that they have a lot of people. If the Purple Cloud Sect doesn't engage in a prolonged battle, breaking through the encirclement is only a matter of time.

The twilight was blood-red, the clouds churned, and the light, like molten gold, poured down. The distant mountains undulated like the spines of beasts, gilded with a dark red by the setting sun.

It was getting late, so the Crimson Flame Sect members did not continue their pursuit of Jiang Xiaowen and her companions.

Elder Wang and the others looked at Little Immortal Mountain without feeling too much reluctance, because in their hearts, today's actions were only out of necessity, and they would soon return to Little Immortal Mountain once Sect Leader Luo returned.

At this point, however, they were unaware that Jiang Xiaowen harbored ulterior motives, and the situation in the Clouds of Sorrow was changing faster than they had imagined.
