Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 283: Laoniu Mountain (I)

The Shujian Sect and the Zhenling Sect fought to a draw, while the Chongming coalition forces defeated the Lin family troops and made them give up. Mo Wen and Jiang Qing were about to take down Lin Kunxue in one fell swoop.

This should have been an extremely good situation, but the team consisting of Zifeng Valley, Feiyue Family, and Hemu Dao was directly dispersed by the Ge Family's Hundred Corpse Formation at this time.

In the fierce battle, Ge Qinglan, the head of the Ge family, made a clever move with his spirit zombie chess, and smashed Shen Xing's already tattered protective spirit weapon into pieces with one punch.

The ten fingers, which were rotten and seemed to have been soaked in ice water, were shining with ice, like sharp daggers, piercing through Shen Xing's thin immortal clothes.

The latter felt as if his internal organs were all touching the ice, and a chill seeped into his blood vessels from the inside out. After just a few breaths, others could clearly see a layer of fine frost on Shen Xing's eyebrows, and cold dew was constantly oozing out of his pores.

The man who had been building up his foundation for many years immediately showed despair on his face. He had never thought that just because of a careless move, he would end up with a cold heart and his hot blood turning into ice.

Shan Sheng wanted to thrust his sword to rescue him, while Li Mingyuan summoned a green water salamander to wash away the dead energy on the corpse in front of him, forcing him to retreat a few steps. The two of them freed their hands and were about to turn around to rescue him, but at the same time they heard a muffled sound.

It was because only a few breaths passed, and Shen Xing was actually condensed into a thick piece of frozen meat by this cold air.

Ge Qinglan's innate spirit zombie rushed forward before Shan and Li, clenched its fist and smashed Shen Xing's body with a "bang", breaking it into several pieces on the spot.

At this time, Kang Dabao had just taken the lead, but not long after that, Ge Qinglan arrested Shen Xing and retaliated against the Xinyun League.

As soon as the pieces of Shen Xing's body fell to the ground, the morale of the disciples of Changning Sect rose visibly.

The new leader of Zifeng Valley had a visibly ugly expression on his face while reviewing the picture. He lost his focus for such a moment that he nearly had half of his head bitten off by the second-order black-haired zombie of the Ge family's foundation-building controller opposite him.

A smelly fang brushed past his ear, and the tattoo on Shentu's chest suddenly lit up. A ferocious black-fanged viper pulled out from his body, swung its tail, and the second-level black-haired zombie was violently pulled back several steps by the snake's tail.

Shentu finally managed to close the distance between himself and the second-level black-haired zombie, but the black-fanged viper on his chest was only a first-level top-grade one. It only won because it caught the opponent by surprise, which caused the Ge family's foundation-building black-haired zombie to suffer a small loss.

This is considered pretty good. It has only been a few years since he started to build his foundation. It is already quite remarkable that he can cultivate this spiritual beast that has been with him for a short time to the first-class level and refine it into a soul to protect his body.

Although he was pushed to the position of the head of Zifeng Valley by Shen Xing without knowing why, the head of Zifeng Valley can't get many benefits nowadays.

When Shen Ang died unexpectedly, the items that had been passed down for many years were taken away by Chen Ye. The remaining sect storehouse is now firmly controlled by Shen Xing, an elder in the clan.

Therefore, without the legacy of the previous headmaster, the current Shentu is just an ordinary foundation building. Even compared with the new foundation building masters of Shujian Sect, his performance is not outstanding.

The black-haired zombie came up again, and Shentu didn't even have a useful spiritual weapon in his hand, so it was naturally difficult to resist.

Looking at Shan Sheng and the others, they were all suppressed by the old woman Ge Qinglan, and no one could save them. Therefore, Shen Tu had no choice but to wave the flag and call back some of the disciples who were fighting against the Hundred Corpses Formation to help.

But the Ge family's foundation building could not go as he wished in the battle with Shen Tu. Although Shen Tu wanted to summon the latter, he was not considered a direct descendant of the Ge family in Fengzhou. He could not even bring back a spirit zombie that was the only direct descendant from generation to generation.

But with this skill, he was still qualified to deal with a small character like Shentu who had just established his foundation. But after a short while, Shentu was already in great pain.

If Shen Tu had not considered the position of the head of Zifeng Valley to be of some value, he might have ended up fleeing in embarrassment at the hands of the Ge family's foundation-building men.

The two foundation-building ancestors of their family both had the upper hand. This change made the Ge family disciples who formed the formation more confident, and the fierceness of the corpse refiners who were already full of murderous aura increased even more.

Ge Qinglan, who was holding the White Corpse Banner in the lead, seized the opportunity and struck the ground with the long banner in his hand. A faint ink-colored spiritual pattern slowly spread out towards the cultivators of various sects in the formation, with him as the center.

The Ge family disciples seemed to have received some kind of message at the same time. They cut their palms one after another and squeezed their archers. A line of bright red blood floated in the air, automatically connecting and colluded to form a strange rune, which was attached to the corpses beside the Ge family disciples.

The corpse refiners have different methods and their eyeballs are of different colors, but as soon as they were hit by this rune, the eyeballs of the corpse refiners all turned red.

For a moment, the roars that came one after another disturbed their minds, causing the three cultivators on the opposite side to frown.

Not only was the roar disturbing, but there seemed to be a wisp of black smoke lingering around the corpses in the Hundred Corpse Formation, which greatly weakened the power of the Taoist magic and magic weapons shot at by the cultivators of various families.

A blow with the same force just now might have been able to break off a small part of the flesh armor of a corpse of the same level, but now it only left a charred piece.

At the same time, a trace of yellow corpse qi emanated from the seven orifices of Ge Qinglan's natal spirit zombie, and was absorbed into the banner by Ge Qinglan, who was holding the white corpse banner in the main formation.

After the latter finished doing this, his expression became solemn. He poked the long banner to the ground again, and a layer of yellow light appeared on the claws of the corpse refiners in the formation.

With the black smoke protecting the body and the yellow light hurting the enemy, the power of the Ge family's Hundred Corpses Formation has been significantly improved.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, the Ge family, which had only nearly a hundred disciples and over a hundred first-level corpse refiners, and the three opposing families with nearly five hundred disciples, which were obviously almost several times their number, yet they still found it extremely difficult to deal with them.

Of course, this was because they had to allocate a considerable portion of their elite forces to cooperate with Shan and Li in dealing with Ge Qinglan's several second-level refined corpses.

But it is an indisputable fact that the Ge family's formation of a hundred corpses is extremely ferocious. If they only rely on the strength of the three families and no one comes to help, defeat is only a matter of time.

Regardless of whether it is Shan Sheng or Li Mingyuan, they can be considered as experts among the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, but they definitely do not have the ability to turn the tide at this moment.

Nanny Sun was watching the battle from the back and saw the situation very clearly. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, she decided to leave Pei Yi behind as a reserve, and she herself led half of the troops, raised her staff, and prepared to go to the rescue.

Seeing this situation, Sect Leader Kang, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, and seeing that Mo Wen and Jiang Qing were enough to deal with the reinforcements brought by Chen Ye, he also prepared to go alone to provide assistance, holding the Mo Yuan flag.

Among the three sects, the Hemu Sect had the shallowest foundation and the most mixed disciples, and before Nanny Sun arrived, it could not withstand the black smoke and yellow light of the corpse refining, and suddenly its formation dispersed and collapsed.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole, let alone the fact that the gap in the formation exposed by the collapse of Hemu Dao was a very terrifying one.

Almost in an instant, the main disciples of Feiyue Shan family and Zifeng Valley made a decision. They could not fight. What faced them now was how to calmly lead their disciples to withdraw from the battle.

The corpse refiners wantonly tore the flesh from the defeated Hemu Dao disciples. The head of his family, surnamed Han, had a sad look on his face, but he could not save himself.

If he had not accumulated a lot of wealth by exploiting the black-shoe Taoist priest over the years, and could even buy a few second-level low-grade defensive talismans, he would have been easily ripped open and eaten by the sharp teeth and claws that appeared out of nowhere, just like his own disciples who were running around like wolves and pigs.

Hemu Dao seems to be doing well in recent years. In order to expand its influence as quickly as possible, he, as the leader, almost accepts all disciples.

In less than 20 years, Hemu Dao already had nearly 300 disciples, which was a staggering number in the small Pingrong County. The head of the sect surnamed Han was not only proud of what he had done, but also criticized Kang Dabao for being conservative.

In his opinion, with the current fame of Chongming Sect, Master Kang should be open to all. If he were to admit people into the sect, it would only take a few years for Chongming Sect to have hundreds of disciples.

Master Han knew in the past that shortcuts are not easy and always have their drawbacks. However, what his disciples said and did today gave Master Han a very vivid lesson.

But if there is a little wind or wave, everything will be swept away!
The head of the clan surnamed Han did not have time to feel disappointed for too long. His second-level defensive talisman was really eye-catching. Several elite members of the Ge family came one after another, urging the peak first-level corpse refiners to come and capture him.

Fortunately, Li Mingyuan came back to help in time and threw out more than a hundred drops of heavy water. Each drop was only the size of half a finger, but all of them were as heavy as a thousand pounds. They smashed more than a dozen corpses into pieces, and then pulled up the leader surnamed Han and left.

He was doing this in exchange for the spirit stones, and it was not as if he did not want to save the other Hemu Dao disciples, but before that, they had to ensure that the original owner of the spirit stones survived first.

Shan Sheng and Shen Tu bore the enormous pressure of facing Ge Qinglan, a late-stage cultivator. With the help of Nanny Sun, they finally managed to successfully pull their disciples away from the battlefield.

Now that the children of the Ge family have got meat to eat, naturally not many people want to gnaw on the bones of the Shan family and Zifeng Valley.

The chain reaction brought about by the defeat of Hemu Dao did not stop there. The Shujian Sect, which had always been on par with the Zhenling Sect, also broke out into turmoil and was almost killed by several foundation-building sect members of the Zhenling Sect, along with various spirit beasts and hundreds of disciples.

It was all thanks to the power of Ye Zhen's jade slips. The bright yellow jade slips formed a small formation and trapped the two incoming second-level spirit beasts. Before the Zhenling Sect's foundation-building sect could provide assistance, the jade slips shot out one after another and pierced into the vital points of the two beasts. In a moment, one was killed and the other was injured.

The Zhenling Sect's counterattack failed to gain any advantage, and instead it suffered a great loss. This also helped the New Yunmeng to somewhat reverse its declining momentum.

Ge Qinglan also obviously had concerns, seeing that the Shujian Sect showed no signs of disbanding, the Zifeng Valley and the Shan family still had fighting power, and the Chongming coalition was still following Jiang Qing, causing most of the casualties in the small formation that did not have a foundation-building leader from the Changning Sect, and was on the verge of disintegration.

Don't do anything rash. This is what the two spirit beasts that had suffered great losses at the hands of Ye Zhen had experienced firsthand.

Although Ge Qinglan was quite confident in the Hundred Corpses Formation that had been passed down in his family for generations, he had no intention of attracting firepower for the Zhenling Sect.

A silver bell appeared on the white corpse banner in Ge Qinglan's hand, and the bell rang instantly in the venue.

The originally wanton and unbridled corpses suddenly suppressed their arrogance and brutality, obediently gave up the delicious flesh and blood that was already at their mouths, and followed the corpse-driving whip of their owner to form a strict formation again.

The head of Kangda guessed what the old woman Ge Qinglan was thinking: the old lady was probably reluctant to spend the money and didn't want to fight for the time being.

He led Shan Sheng and Shen Tu to calm down the two groups of cultivators and put them on high alert. He then extended his hand to call Pei Yi, who was staying on standby, and ordered him to take his disciples to shelter the defeated soldiers.

These scattered monks cannot be allowed to run around the mountain. Firstly, these monks may easily become violent due to the stimulation of the battle. If they are allowed to run away, many mortals nearby may suffer.

Secondly, retreating without fighting on the battlefield is a taboo, so these Hemu Dao disciples will certainly not be let off.

The Han family in his family could not protect them. After this exploratory battle, the New Cloud Alliance would definitely send people to attack. This was a life-threatening task, and each family was probably reluctant to send people, so it was just right to use these defeated soldiers as the vanguard.

The foundation-building practitioners of Zhenling Sect also sensed Ge Qinglan's plan, and they only looked at each other and tacitly agreed on the rules.

The leading Zhenling Sect leader pulled out the Iron Scale Cavalry from the sect and charged forward. The action came so suddenly that the Shujian Sect practitioners had no time to react, and a layer of the thick formation was scraped off by them.

Even the black stone dragon screen wall that had been used as a protective barrier was overturned by this team of iron-scale cavalry.

The owner of the screen wall, the great elder of Shujian Sect, looked extremely unhappy, this was a rare second-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon, he had always taken good care of it, he never thought it would be damaged today.

The Great Elder was not the only one whose magical instrument of Shujian Sect was damaged. After the Tielin Cavalry came and went, all kinds of elegant magical instruments such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, chess, piano, calligraphy and paintings in front of the Shujian Sect's formation were shattered to the ground.

The Zhenling Sect's Foundation Establishment Sect leader who led the Iron Scale Cavalry took advantage and left. Before the Shujian Sect's disciples' wailing stopped, he led the Zhenling Sect's main force out of the battlefield.

The Changning Sect took the risk this time in order to test the strength of the New Yun League families.

But after testing, they found that the families in the New Yun League were terribly tough. Not only that, the two sides escalated the test into a battle that was not uncommon in Yunjiao Province, which resulted in the loss of two foundation-building masters.

Changning Sect does not have the strength to break the blockade of Xinyun League in one battle, so they can only waste time and wait until the situation changes before taking action. It would be best if Dai Fu could bring the head of Black Shoe Taoist with him when he returns.

Seeing that the Zhenling Sect had retreated faster than her, Ge Qinglan cursed inwardly. The light of the White Corpse Banner in her hand dimmed and the banner also fell.

Ye Zhen, the head of Shujian Sect, frowned. He could see that Ge Qinglan was about to leave, and he also knew that after this, it would take who knows how long before the cultivators of Changning Sect dared to go out again.

By that time, if we want to wipe out the Changning Sect monks who are relying on the formation to defend, it will be twice as difficult with half the effort. We should take advantage of this time and try to keep as many people as possible.

Just when Ye Zhen was hesitating, a sharp eagle cry resounded throughout the place.

"Snow Feather Night Owl came back first?!"
