Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 310 Attacking the city
The man from Fengxing Sect only had Qi Refining cultivation. As they were nearly a hundred feet apart, his spiritual sense could not detect his cultivation level. He felt the spiritual energy transmitted in Song Xian's words and knew that he was a Ming Foundation Establishment cultivator. His face changed slightly, and he turned around and went back to the formation without saying a word.

"Senior Song, give the order quickly! Don't delay too long, otherwise enemy monks from other camps may come to support us." The Beastmaster Sect disciple urged.

"Master, why don't we leave some people to guard outside the formation to prevent enemy reinforcements from arriving and cutting off our retreat." Xu Bai, deputy head of the Tianshan Camp, suggested.

"No need. Follow my command and charge into the formation." Song Xian gave an order and led his men into the formation.

This is just the outer camp of Fengxing Sect, and it is impossible for it to be guarded by a strong force. Combined with the intelligence information from the Beast Taming Sect, there are probably only thirty or forty cultivators here, and no more than fifty at most.

The monks in Anyuan City must have been terrified when they knew that the Beastmaster Sect had led the troops from various cities to attack. Judging from their own experience, these monks guarding the formation certainly did not have much desire to fight, and were only pretending to fight out of helplessness. They would not put up a desperate resistance.

If he were forced by the Luoyun Sect to rebel against the Beast Taming Sect and was sent to the front-line camp, he would definitely not fight to the death with the other side. He would only think about saving his life.

He had just released the spiritual power fluctuations of a foundation-building cultivator. The cultivators guarding the formation would surely be even more panicked if they knew this.

After everyone entered the formation, Song Xian took the lead, and the others were divided into ten small teams, following behind him and galloping forward.

With his current strength, he did not take a mere second-grade low-grade formation seriously. If he attacked alone, it might be difficult to take it down, but if he wanted to escape from here, there would be absolutely no problem, so he led the way.

There was a crackling sound coming from the golden clouds, and then huge icicles condensed and shot towards everyone.

Song Xian put his hands together and cast a wave of fire. Layer upon layer of fire waves condensed and surged towards the huge ice pillar that was rushing towards them.

Now that he has absorbed the Golden Crow's Fiery Flame, the Xuantian Fusion Fire Art has broken through to the third level, and the power of his fire magic has been greatly enhanced.

Although Fire Wave Surge is only a low-grade second-level spell, when it is performed in his hands, its power is even stronger than a mid-grade second-level spell of great perfection.

The power of this forbidden attack launched by this formation is probably at the level of a second-grade mid-grade spell, which is clear in Song Xian's eyes.

Under his observation with the Eye of Truth, the total attack power of the fire waves reached as high as 260 points, with each layer of fire waves reaching 26 points, and a total of ten layers of fire waves.

The densely packed icicles shot out, each ten feet in size, with an attack power of ten points each, and there were more than twenty of them in total.

The overwhelming waves of fire met the oncoming icicles, and the fire and ice blended with each other, filling the air with thick fog.

When the layers of fire waves were exhausted, dozens of huge icicles had also melted, leaving only a few icicles.

It's not that Song Xian's magic is less powerful, but because the ice pillar is a water-attribute magic, which restrains fire-attribute magic, so he won a small victory in this confrontation.

The monks behind Song Xian were not idle either. Seeing that a small number of ice pillars were still shooting towards them, each team launched spells and magic weapons to attack and shatter the remaining ice pillars.

The restricted attack was easily dealt with, which boosted everyone's confidence. They shouted and rushed inside.

But soon, the second wave of forbidden attacks came again. This time it was a gold-based forbidden attack, formed by dozens of golden feather arrows.

Facing the golden magic attack, Song Xian also used the surge of fire to respond.

Layer upon layer of flames and golden feather arrows intertwined. This time, no one else needed to take action. A surge of fire melted the many golden feather arrow attacks condensed by the restriction.

This is not to say that the power of this restriction is weaker than the ice pillar just now. The power of this restriction attack is equivalent to the second-level medium-grade gold magic.

Among the five elements, gold is the most powerful. Therefore, simply comparing the power, this restriction is stronger than the last time. This is because fire overcomes gold. It is an attack with the same second-level medium-grade magic power. Just now, the fire wave was defeated, but this time it was easily dealt with.

The monks guarding the formation obviously did not understand his bottom line and did not know that he was only good at fire magic.

However, even if they knew, the cultivator in charge of the formation would not be able to continuously launch water-attributed spells to prohibit attacks, because the formation follows certain rules and operates according to the engraved runes, and it cannot be done as one pleases.

There is an upper limit to the power of the ban, and there is also an upper limit to the number of times it can be activated.

In general, although formations can produce powerful effects, they also have many limitations and cannot be manipulated at will.

Song Xian led everyone forward, and after six attacks from the formation's restrictions, they finally arrived in front of the defensive light curtain condensed by the formation.

Except for the first two forbidden attacks, the subsequent four forbidden attacks were more fierce and powerful than the last, all reaching the level of second-grade top-grade magic. However, under Song Xian's protection, the team did not suffer any casualties.

Until the attack on the defensive light curtain, the formation's forbidden attacks did not fall again. Everyone used their magic to besiege the light curtain. Soon, it was broken. There was no one inside, and all the garrisoned monks had fled.

This result was not unexpected by Song Xian. The garrisons here were all low-level Qi-refining cultivators, most of whom were not disciples of Fengxing Sect and Yunxuan Sect. Naturally, they would not fight so hard. When they saw everyone attacking the front of the formation, they were bound to scatter to save their lives.

Song Xian did not order a pursuit. They were just a group of Qi-refining cultivators. Since they had already escaped, he would let them go. His goal was to capture these two camps, not to annihilate the enemy's active forces.

Moreover, the cultivators had consumed a lot of spiritual energy when they broke the formation just now, so he ordered everyone to rest here for a while and prepare to make a concerted effort to capture another camp.

This was originally a top-grade spiritual field where many spiritual herbs were grown, but they were all picked by the disciples guarding the area, leaving only some messy and broken debris in the spiritual field.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, our division has already captured this camp. Please go back and report to Chief Jiang whether we should continue the attack and take down Plum Blossom Valley in one go. Or should we wait until the other two camps are captured before attacking simultaneously?" After inspecting the spiritual field, Song Xian called the Beastmaster Sect liaison disciple sent by Jiang Feng.

"Replying to Senior Song, Uncle Jiang has already given instructions. Once we capture this camp, we don't need to wait for his orders. We can directly attack the other enemy camp on Plum Blossom Ridge. Once we have captured both camps, we can contact him again. Then, we will advance together with the other two groups."

Song Xian's performance in the formation has impressed everyone in the team and won their heartfelt respect. The reason why they were able to take over the camp without any harm was because of his protection.

Not only did he withstand most of the banned attacks, but at the critical moment, he also helped other teams resolve the crisis.

Otherwise, there will be casualties in the team.

"Okay! Then we'll wait until everyone's spiritual energy recovers before heading towards Plum Blossom Ridge. I'll also take a break and recover my spiritual energy."

…………

Dark clouds covered the sun and heavy rain poured down.

In a remote mountainside, a flying magical instrument streaked through the air and landed in the forest, revealing two figures. Both were dressed in Hunyuan Sect attire. One of them was Jiang Zichen, and the other had a slender appearance and was quite pretty.

"Are you sure it's here? You're not mistaken!" Jiang Zichen looked around. Everywhere he looked, there were tall trees. It didn't look like there was any secret treasure.

The reason he came here was because of the instigation of the woman next to him, who said that she had discovered a secret nest here and suspected that there was a treasure inside.

This person was a female cultivator he promoted and appointed when he was working as the head of a shop in the Bianxi City Market. Her surname was Hua and her name was Yuan. She initially followed him to sell Yuxiang Dan in the shop. Later, he was promoted to the head of the Economic and Trade Peak of the sect, and this woman was also transferred to the Economic and Trade Peak to be responsible for all trade-related affairs of the sect.

Just a few days ago, Hua Yuanshen came to him mysteriously and said that he had discovered a secret treasure and invited him to explore it together.

Therefore, it was he who recommended this girl to join the sect, and he also promoted her to her current position. The two of them usually have a good relationship. She is one of the few people in the sect who can be called his confidants, so he trusts this person very much. After hearing about this, the two of them left the mountain gate together and came here.

"Senior Brother Jiang, you see there is a pond in front of us. The secret nest is under the pond. This pond leads to an ancient tomb. It was there that I met the demon snake." Hua Yuan pointed to a pond of medium size in the distance.

"How did you find such a secret place?" The two walked to the front of the pool and looked down. The water surface was dark green and the bottom was invisible.

"The last time I went to Muhe Grassland, I happened to encounter a seriously injured Muhe Grassland monk stumbling out of the forest. He called out to me for help. Curious, I came to investigate and learned about this place from him. He also discovered this secret lair by accident. He was poisoned by the demon snake and fled back, where he happened to meet me."

"Then where is this person now?"

"He was seriously injured and poisoned by the snake. He is dead."

"Really?" Jiang Zichen looked at her suspiciously.

Hua Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Jiang, you still don't trust me? When have I ever lied to you?"

"He begged me for help, but I didn't have any antidote, so he died soon after. After I disposed of his body, I came to this pool and headed straight for the ancient tomb below."

"As soon as I entered the inner room, I saw two black phosphorus snakes coming towards me. I was so scared that I quickly turned back the way I came. After returning to the sect, I told you the news."

"I have a feeling there must be treasures within this ancient tomb. I was originally planning to report it to the sect, but then I thought, instead of letting the sect take the lion's share, why not split it equally? If we can't handle it, we can report back to the sect later."

Jiang Zichen didn't say much. He flipped his hand and handed her a black pill. This was a first-grade, top-grade detoxification pill that could protect against poison gas attacks. The two swallowed the pill and then jumped into the pool.

The two men dived all the way down, following the direction of the water flow. Soon, they saw a stone gate. The stone gate had been pushed open, and the roads inside were crisscrossed and connected in all directions, like a palace.

The two of them were walking on Shasha's waterway. The light around them was very dark. As they were walking, they suddenly heard the hissing sound of a demon snake. Soon, they saw two big black snakes rushing towards them from the front.

These two snakes were about five or six feet in size, and their spiritual energy was at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

Jiang Zichen flipped his hand, and a golden and blue spear appeared in his hand. It was a top-grade magical weapon, a golden forged spear.

He had been running a shop in the Bianxi City market for many years and was quite well-off. He had all kinds of magical instruments, elixirs, and talismans in his possession.

The golden forged spear emitted a bright golden light and stabbed towards the leaping demon snake. At the same time, Hua Yuan also took out a red flying sword and slashed at another demon snake.

This black-scaled snake is not very intelligent and no one knows how it got into this ancient tomb. Since then, it has regarded this ancient tomb as its home. When it senses that an external enemy has entered its territory, it will go out to fight.

Its strength is not very strong, but its poison is very strong. If you are bitten by it, you will die within half an hour unless you take an antidote pill immediately.

In addition, it can spray a venom attack.

Hua Yuan was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so she was no match for two demon snakes at the middle stage of Qi Refining alone. But with Jiang Zichen's help, the situation was different.

Jiang Zichen has now reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. In addition, he has a long history in the sect, has strong connections, and receives a lot of care. Whether it is magic weapons, skills or techniques, he is stronger than ordinary people.

After a fierce battle, the two successfully killed the two evil snakes. Then they continued to move forward along the passage of the ancient tomb and soon found a secret room. Inside was a sarcophagus with two dry skeletons inside, hugging each other. They looked like a couple or a couple, but no one knew why they died hugging each other in this dark ancient tomb.

Apart from the two skeletons, there were only some withered black flowers and leaves in the room.

Jiang Zichen and Hua Yuan looked at each other and walked into the secret room. Just as they reached the sarcophagus, suddenly, a burst of red smoke rose from the floor and filled the entire room in an instant.

The two were caught off guard and felt dizzy and fainted on the ground.

In a daze, Jiang Zichen felt that his body was so hot that he seemed to be melting. At this moment, something like cold spring water rushed to his side. He was like a prisoner who had been hungry and thirsty for several days. He rushed to it regardless of everything. In his daze, the burning sensation in his body slowly disappeared.

I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Zichen opened his eyes in a daze, feeling weak all over, as if his body had been hollowed out.

What came into view was the black stone wall above my head, and the red smoke had disappeared.

Just as he was about to struggle to get up, he found someone lying next to his body. It was none other than Hua Yuan, who was unconscious with him.

Jiang Zichen took a closer look and was shocked to see that both of them were naked, their bodies entangled together like an octopus.

How could this happen? He was shocked and only then remembered that in his daze, something like an icy spring flowed into his arms. Could it be Hua Yuan?

This means that the two of them completed the sexual intercourse while their consciousness was blurred.

What about that red smoke? Is it something like an aphrodisiac?

But what was the purpose of doing this? There was no doubt that the red smoke must be a trap set by the owner of this place, but they didn't set up poisonous fog, but used something like soul-stirring smoke. What was the point?

Fortunately, he came with Hua Yuan. If two men came together, then...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zichen felt a little fortunate, otherwise he really couldn't imagine it.
