Chapter 557 - 249: Seizing the Territory of Two Sects (Part 3)
Chapter 557 - 249: Seizing the Territory of Two Sects (Part 3)
Feeling the aggressive momentum of the Celestial Sound Pavilion’s cultivators, the stationed cultivators of the Demon Spirit Sect turned pale and hurriedly prepared for battle.
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Demon Spirit Sect on the other side were already completely desperate.
Each fought desperately, but thoughts of despair flashed through their minds.
"Those Netherworld Sect cultivators were truly useless. They promised to wear them down first, and then we would attack the Jiuhua Sect by surprise.
But in the end, the entire Netherworld Sect was wiped out, dragging us down with them! How hateful!!"
"The cultivators of the Jiuhua Sect are truly monstrous; in their battle with the Netherworld Sect, they didn’t seem to suffer any casualties.
And now, there are over a hundred of them besieging us."
"Just now, seventy of us couldn’t defeat fifty of them. This time, our defeat is inevitable!
That Jiuhua Sect cultivator is terrifyingly powerful!!"
At this moment, only a little over thirty Demon Spirit Sect cultivators remained, but they had completely lost their fighting spirit.
They thought of fleeing, but found themselves surrounded by Jiuhua Sect cultivators on all sides.
So, they could only grit their teeth and fight desperately.
But they also knew this was just a futile struggle.
Within the ranks of the Jiuhua Sect cultivators, a cultivator stood aloft in the air.
Under his command, four puppet wolves coordinated with Jiuhua Sect cultivators, attacking various Demon Spirit Sect cultivators.
If anyone failed to pay attention and their defenses were breached by these puppet wolves, the Jiuhua Sect’s attacks from behind would immediately follow.
Meanwhile, this cultivator wielded a longbow, shooting out beams of green light.
Whenever a Demon Spirit Sect cultivator managed to break through with divine techniques and magical treasures, they were forced to stop under the green light.
This one person alone was able to restrain five or six cultivators.
The Demon Spirit Sect cultivators knew that killing this person might give them a slight chance of escape.
But recalling the scene where he, with his four puppets, swiftly killed three of their Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators,
none of the Demon Spirit Sect cultivators dared to target him.
Gradually, the ranks of the Demon Spirit Sect dwindled.
And the scene turned into a massacre without suspense!
Until the last Demon Spirit Sect cultivator was killed, the Jiuhua Sect disciples were overjoyed.
However, under the request of Chu Ning and Lu Jiakang, they made no sound.
Instead, they quietly moved toward the other side of the deep valley.
At this time, everyone’s gaze was filled with admiration as they looked at the figure flying at the forefront!
First, he circled behind the Netherworld Sect cultivators alone and stealthily attacked them one by one.
In a short time, he helped the Jiuhua Sect secure victory against the Netherworld Sect.
Then, when the Demon Spirit Sect joined in, he swiftly killed their three strongest combatants.
This allowed the Jiuhua Sect to hold their ground with only a few injuries and no casualties.
Not only did they successfully defend their territory, but now they could seize the Demon Alliance’s territory as well.
Although many cultivators had never seen Li Qun’s face,
it didn’t stop them from admiring and trusting Senior Brother "Li Qun" absolutely.
Chu Ning scouted ahead with his divine sense and advanced roughly a hundred miles beyond the deep valley.
He faintly sensed that if they went a few dozen miles further, other Demon Alliance cultivators would appear, so Chu Ning stopped his flight.
He instructed everyone to spread out in groups and meditate on the spot.
He himself flew to the top of a tree and fully released his divine sense to scout again.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning used a sound transmission to communicate with Shang Xiaohan:
"Junior Sister Shang, send a message to Han Qiao’er and let the Celestial Sound Pavilion know our situation here.
Tell them if they manage to take over the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory, they must send a message back to us."
This was very important for the Jiuhua Sect at the moment.
The Jiuhua Sect had already taken over all the territory previously handled by the Netherworld Sect and about forty percent of the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory.
If the Celestial Sound Pavilion couldn’t seize the remaining Demon Spirit Sect territory, Chu Ning would have to prevent a side attack from the Demon Spirit Sect.
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Shang Xiaohan activated a sound transmission talisman.
After more than half an hour, a sound transmission talisman flew back, and Shang Xiaohan immediately took it to Chu Ning.
Upon hearing its contents, a smile appeared on Chu Ning’s face.
In the sound transmission, Han Qiao’er informed Shang Xiaohan.
The Celestial Sound Pavilion had already defeated the remaining Demon Spirit Sect cultivators and captured their territory.
Thus, the territories occupied by the Jiuhua Sect and Celestial Sound Pavilion bordered each other once again.
But now, they pushed forward over a hundred miles.
Chu Ning immediately conveyed this information to everyone and then instructed:
"Next, everyone set their minds at ease, meditate, take turns on patrol, and guard this territory well.
If the sect’s array master arrives tomorrow, our task will be completed."
The Jiuhua Sect cultivators immediately beamed with joy.
...
In the Cloud Peak Alliance’s base, the Nascent Soul cultivators were absent, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators were out as well, leaving only the Golden Core cultivators from various sects.
None of these Golden Core cultivators were inexperienced, and the people from the Three Alliances also kept an eye on whether each other’s Golden Core cultivators were leaving the base.
So, that night, everyone mostly stayed in their own cave mansions with peace of mind.
However, as dawn broke, the cultivators grew restless.
Some from the same sect or familiar with those from other sects started gathering in small groups.
And as they talked, the conversation inevitably revolved around the territory battle that everyone knew would occur last night.
Some were concerned about their sect disciples, and others were thinking about the territory.
At this moment, several Golden Core Elders of the Jiuhua Sect were also gathered together.
Elder Luo looked in the direction of the territory that Jiuhua Sect was responsible for guarding and spoke with concern:
"Do you think the junior members of our sect can hold the territory?"
Fu Lihong listened and hesitated a bit before saying:
"They should be able to! The Foundation Establishment disciples who came this time are among the most outstanding in the sect in terms of battle strength.
The Netherworld Sect’s strength is considerable, and their Foundation Establishment cultivators are quite powerful, but if we’re merely defending the territory, we should be fine."
"I think there’s a good chance we can hold it!" Gong Yuyuan chimed in at this point.
That stately face showed a hint of contemplation.
"With Chu Ning’s divine techniques, no one below the Golden Core stage can stop him.
His escape speed is fast, and his support capability is strong. As long as everyone cooperates well, guarding the border should be manageable."
While chatting, Gong Yuyuan seemed to sense something and looked towards the Jiuhua Sect’s direction.
"Elder He has brought the sect’s array masters!"
Gong Yuyuan, being at the Golden Core Late Stage, naturally had a more powerful divine sense than the other two, so he was the first to sense it.
Soon after, Elder Luo and Fu Lihong also sensed it.
The three of them all turned their gazes in that direction.
Before long, Elder He, who had gone to Wolong Ridge with them before, arrived with Yi Wenliang and others, landing on the peak.
"Senior Brother Gong, are we late?"
As soon as he landed, Elder He asked Gong Yuyuan.
Gong Yuyuan smiled and said, "Not late, it’s just dawn. Setting up the array now is perfect.
Let me send a message to check the position and situation of Chu Ning and his group, hmm?"
Just as Gong Yuyuan was speaking, a sound transmission talisman flew in.
"It’s a message from Chu Ning." Gong Yuyuan took it, instantly looking serious.
Beside him, Elder He had just arrived and was still unclear about the situation.
But Fu Lihong and Elder Luo exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of concern.
Meanwhile, as he listened to the message from the sound transmission talisman, the expression on Gong Yuyuan’s dignified face turned somewhat peculiar.
