A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 106 - 100: Divide and Conquer

Everyone was adjusting their breaths in the square, while Lu Qian found Zhou Chao, the Three Sects’ Leaders, and Zheng Duan to discuss the next steps.

After the discussion, Lu Qian found the spirit vein of Bichao Mountain and took control of the array map within the spirit vein.

This place was similar to Yuqing Mountain Main Peak of the Zhou Family, also a second-level mid-grade spirit vein. The spirit vein was located atop the mountain, among a cluster of ancient trees twisted like coiled dragons, presenting a special appearance that surprisingly resembled a miniature version of a banyan tree. It was like scaling down a thousand-year-old banyan tree to the size of half a person, with aerial roots clearly visible around the tree.

The Seven Stars Moon Closing Array map was suspended above the banyan tree’s crown within the spirit vein, absorbing spiritual qi.

After obtaining the array map, Lu Qian handed it over to Jiang Qingfeng. Activating and closing the grand array, initiating entry and exit passages, and switching formation states were generally consistent; Jiang Qingfeng had experience in these aspects, so Lu Qian let her stay here with Baitao and Master Xuan Ji. The array’s core must be controlled by their own people.

Lin Le was tasked with identifying the locations of various buildings of Chaosheng Sect, running up and down the mountain to record them.

With everything arranged, Lu Qian hurriedly consumed a Star Dew Nourishing Spirit Pill and adjusted his breath; a tough battle was imminent.

Chaosheng Sect’s hundred elites were all in the middle and late stages of Qi Cultivation, with over seventy in the mid-stage and more than thirty in the late stage; their combat strength was very powerful, and they had been nurtured by Chaosheng Sect since childhood and were very loyal to Chaosheng Sect. Among them were many inner sect disciples, sect stewards, elders, and even Zhang Shouchang’s Sect Leader’s disciples, not lacking in leaders, making surrender almost impossible.

Even if they can’t win, they would flee, and if they scattered, it would be an endless trouble.

Pushing back ten thousand steps, even if such elite disciples wanted to surrender, the current Yunshan Sect simply couldn’t absorb them!

Added with Guh Niqiang, Yunshan Sect had only eight people; they had reached their limit swallowing the forty mid-stage Qi Cultivation at Bichao Mountain, even those in middle and late stages must have their Dantian Spiritual Root destroyed and thrown out of the mountain.

Because these Qi Cultivation elites, even if pressured by circumstances to surrender now, who knows if they hold grudges in their hearts? Mid-stage Qi Cultivation are limited in means, making management easy, but letting these elites into the fold would provide many ways for revenge.

Cultivators come and go freely, defenses can’t cover everything. They could destroy facilities, assassinate other disciples, secretly start fires, poison, or even contact other Foundation Establishment sects to begin subversive activities. They were highly unstable bombs, capable of causing great disasters at any moment.

Can’t swallow, can’t release; they must be killed!

After approximately another hour and a half, the cultivator on aerial watch shouted urgently, "They’re coming!"

Everyone sprang into action according to the planned strategy.

Lu Qian lightly pushed Guh Niqiang, but she remained in meditation, not waking. Whether it was the Danxia Sect’s spirit pill’s rapid effect, or her special physique, her face had regained its rosy hue, and the scar on her neck even shrank a circle.

This Fairy Nishang was so carefree, not even fearing enemies around!

With no choice, Lu Qian had to bend down and shout in her ear, "Elder Guh! Time to fight!"

Guh Niqiang swiftly opened her eyes, which instantly turned golden-red, "Where?"

On two floating battleships, the cultivators were anxious, but the speed was limited to Qi cultivators, and despite pushing hard, finally after nearly three hours, they saw Bichao Mountain in the distance.

It was already the second half of the night, the moon wheel gradually tilting west, casting large shadows on Bichao Mountain under the moonlight.

A few people were standing at the bow, all were Zhang Shouchang’s direct disciples, the Sect Leader’s disciples. As they approached the mountain gate, they suddenly heard the chaos coming from the mountain, their expressions changed, and they flew into the air with magical artifacts.

On Bichao Mountain, colorful magical artifacts and magic technique glows flashed into a scene, booms of explosions accompanied by shouts continued to echo, with plumes of smoke wafting into the clouds, reflecting a fierce battle scene.

A few were shocked, Mountain Protection Grand Array had been breached! Where’s the Sect Leader? The elders? Not seen, were they drawn away by enemy Foundation Establishment level?

In this urgent situation, no time to think, a leading person shouted, "Fellow sect members, follow me to engage the enemy!"

In the chaos, the floating battleship’s spiritual power cannon was indiscriminate against friend or foe, so those in lead left ten mid-stage Qi cultivators to pilot the floating battleship, while the remaining cultivators wielded magical artifacts and charged towards the mountain.

Closer and closer, everyone vaguely saw two groups of people skirmishing among dense shadows on the mountain peak, one group wearing Chaosheng Sect disciple attire but already losing, in retreat.

The Sect Leader’s disciple shouted, "Fellow members don’t panic, reinforcements have arrived!"

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the Seven Stars Broken Moon Formation suddenly rose, splitting the group in two!

Inside the formation were ten-some late-stage Qi cultivators leading the charge, with over forty cultivators outside, and more than twenty cultivators swallowed within the Seven Stars Moon Closing Array!

Jiang Qingfeng watched the formation suddenly activate, revealing a slight smile. Her task was done, the formation would autonomously operate according to the record in the array map, beginning enemy annihilation.

Chaosheng Sect disciples never would have imagined being attacked by their own formation. This was a Foundation Establishment level formation; with Guh Niqiang present, even Lu Qian dared not rush in, much less these suddenly engulfed cultivators?
