Chapter 226: Great victory news, move to Black Dragon [Subscribe]

In just less than three days, the Red Dragon branch of the Dragon Transformation Sect was breached.

As the largest sect in Jingguo, Yuelun Sect's strength can be seen from this.

In this battle, three of the five Jindan-stage monks from the Red Dragon Branch of the Hualong Sect were killed on the spot, and only a deputy hall master and a second elder managed to break through the siege and escape.

Of the twenty-one Purple Mansion Stage guardians who were trapped in the Red Dragon Altar at the time, eighteen died on the spot, and only three escaped with serious injuries.

The rest of the missionaries and ordinary believers were either killed or captured, and only a very few lucky ones survived.

On the other hand, among the Yuelun Sect's cultivators, none of them were killed in the Jindan stage, only one was seriously injured and two were slightly injured.

No one left the front line despite being slightly injured. In fact, the only one who truly withdrew from the war was the seriously injured Jindan stage cultivator.

However, because of the two red divine lights, the Moon Wheel Sect lost as many as seven Purple Mansion Stage cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Comparing the two, it can still be considered a great victory!
The news of this great victory quickly spread to Zhou Chun and other teams that were mopping up the rear, and to Jingguo.

After hearing the news, Taoist Mingjing and other Jingguo monks were naturally overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted.

But Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun were happy yet a little worried at this time.

Words cannot describe the complicated feelings of the two at this moment.

After hearing the news that the Red Dragon branch was destroyed and most of the Dragon Sect's guardians and elders were killed, the two of them were wondering whether Lin Hongyu was dead or alive.

In their hearts, they hoped that Lin Hongyu would die and the cooperation between the Zhou family and her would be completely buried.

But there was also a slight thought that he didn't want to die.

After all, if Lin Hongyu really died, then their Zhou family would not be able to obtain the various treasures she promised, as well as her loyalty.

Just as the two were feeling such complicated emotions, a new order suddenly came to their team.

"I just received an order from my uncle, asking us to temporarily stop removing the stronghold and rush to the Black Dragon branch to deploy defenses. Reinforcements from other branches of the Dragon Transformation Sect have already arrived!"

On a hillside, Taoist Mingjing looked at the dozens of monks below with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice the order he had just received.

Hearing his words, the faces of all the monks present changed.

The battles of the past few days have made everyone realize that eliminating the Hualong Sect's stronghold is definitely a good opportunity to easily earn military merit.

They used their overwhelming superiority in military strength to eliminate the Hualong Sect's stronghold. As long as they were careful, their lives would not be in danger, and they might not even get hurt.

But it’s different when you go to the front line to fight.

In the front battlefield, they faced the people of Hualong Sect head-on. Even though Jingguo still had the advantage in numbers, the casualties were definitely not going to be any better.

Unfortunately, things will not change according to their will.

An order is an order. No matter whether they are willing or not, they dare not disobey it!
So Taoist Mingjing gave an order, and all the Purple Mansion cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators in the stronghold set off directly, leaving the stronghold behind without even a single step.

However, before setting off, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun secretly wrote the team's destination in a letter and left it behind.

In this way, if Lin Wan'er really contacts Lin Hongyu later, she can find their new residence through letters and reestablish contact with them.

After almost two days of rushing along the way, Zhou Chun and his team finally arrived at the outskirts of the Black Dragon branch of the Hualong Sect.

According to the division of labor among the three major sects, it was Qinglian Temple that attacked the Black Dragon branch. This is the strongest branch of the Hualong Sect and is definitely a tough nut to crack.

The Qinglian Temple, with the help of 14 Jindan-stage monks, continued to attack for three days and nights but was unable to break through the Black Dragon's protective formation.

Just when Zhou Chun and his companions arrived here, four more Jindan-stage cultivators from the Golden Dragon Altar and the Blood Dragon Altar in the rear had arrived and together they charged into the Black Dragon Altar.

Now, there are as many as ten Jindan-stage cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect in the Black Dragon branch, as well as two fourth-level flood dragons and a fourth-level low-grade monster, the Black Water Turtle.

If the Moon Wheel Sect had not quickly sent six Jindan-stage cultivators to support us after the Red Dragon branch was destroyed, I'm afraid the power of the Dragon Transformation Sect would have been able to defeat the Qinglian Temple!
But even though the number of Jindan-stage cultivators on Jingguo's side had reached twenty, it was still difficult to quickly capture the Black Dragon branch that had received assistance.

So when Zhou Chun and his men arrived here, Qinglian Temple had already changed its battle plan and began to surround the Black Dragon branch without attacking it, as if it was preparing to wait for more reinforcements to arrive before attacking.

I saw twenty Jindan stage monks sitting around the gate of the Black Dragon Altar, not letting any bird fly out of the Black Dragon Altar.

The Purple Mansion Stage cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Qinglian Temple had already built a temporary camp less than fifty miles away from the Black Dragon Branch Altar, and set up a soul purification array and a protective array.

After Zhou Chun and his group arrived here, they went straight into the temporary camp.

"My fellow Taoists, please take a good rest here first. I will go to pay my respects to our uncle masters and see what instructions they have for us!"

In the camp, Taoist Mingjing talked for a while with the fellow disciples of Qinglian Temple who were in charge of the camp management, then brought Zhou Chun and others to a rest area, gave them a few instructions, and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and others could only meditate in the rest area to recover their magic power as he said, and wait for further orders.

They were not made to wait for long. Taoist Mingjing separated from them for less than two hours before returning to convey the order from the Jindan stage cultivator of Qinglian Temple.

He said with a serious face: "According to the instructions of our uncle masters, you will still be under my command. If there is any need for you, the uncle masters will send a message to you."

"Of course, if you have any ideas or suggestions, you can tell me in detail. I will report them to my uncles as appropriate."

No one was surprised to hear what he said.

In war, most of the Jindan stage cultivators have to fight with strong warriors of the same level. They don't have the time to distract themselves and command the Zifu stage cultivators and foundation building stage cultivators to fight.

Decentralize command and only issue orders related to attack and retreat. This is how war is played in the world of immortal cultivation.

So at this time, after expressing their willingness to obey Taoist Mingjing's orders, everyone dispersed to rest.

No one knows when the war will break out, so keeping oneself in the best condition at all times is the most important thing for every monk currently on the battlefield.

……

"Phew, I finally survived!"

In a desolate mountain, Lin Hongyu, who was meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly "pu" spat out a large pool of dark red blood. Then she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and sighed with a look of relief on her face.

She was one of the three guardians who escaped from the Red Dragon branch at that time.

However, during her escape, a Jindan early stage cultivator suddenly used a magic spell to attack her. Although it was just a magic spell casually cast by a Jindan cultivator, it was not a magic weapon.

But that blow still caused Lin Hongyu, who was hard to rival in the Purple Mansion period, to be seriously injured on the spot, and she almost couldn't escape the pursuit.

Because there was still some spiritual power of the Jindan stage cultivator remaining in her body, Lin Hongyu was afraid that the other party would sense it and hunt her down, so she gritted her teeth and ran for thousands of miles before she dared to stop to rest and heal her wounds.

Fortunately, she has now reached the late Purple Mansion stage, and the technique she practices is also extraordinary. After a lot of hard work, she finally refined and expelled the remaining alien spiritual power from her body.

However, after a moment of joy, she felt her own weakness and her face fell again, without any trace of joy on her face anymore.

When she broke out before, she used all her means. Not only did she consume many of the third-level talismans she had accumulated, but she also broke and lost several of her magic weapons. She also used a secret technique to stimulate her potential.

Her current condition is only slightly better than before she was rescued by Zhou Daoyi.

In this situation, she should have found a place to rest immediately.

But she knew very well that once she returned to the branch gate or stronghold of the Hualong Sect, she would have no chance to rest and would have to go to the battlefield again.

"It's a pity that the damn dragon didn't die in the altar, otherwise I could have fled far away and not gotten involved in this mess again!"

She cursed with gritted teeth, full of resentment towards the fourth-level red fire dragon that controlled her life and death.

The existence of the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" allowed the fourth-order red fire dragon to easily determine her location, determine her life or death status, and end her life at any time.

Therefore, before the fourth-order red fire dragon died, no matter how bad her condition was or how reluctant she was, she had to return to a branch mountain gate or stronghold of the Hualong Sect as quickly as possible, at least to let the higher-ups of the Hualong Sect know her latest situation.

Otherwise, in the current state of war, if she stays away for a long time, the leaders of the Hualong Sect will probably judge that she is passively avoiding war, or has defected to the enemy and betrayed her sect.

She doesn't want to lose her life in such an unclear way!

So even though she cursed, after taking some elixirs to recuperate a little, she could only identify the direction and rushed towards the Blood Dragon branch that was not under siege.

Before the Red Dragon branch was destroyed, she had contacted her goddaughter Lin Wan'er through special means and learned that the Zhou family had agreed to help her.

Then her next step should be to follow the plan, find a way to stay with the head of the Red Dragon Hall, determine the location of the fourth-order red fire dragon, and then reconnect with Zhou Mingde and others.

Not to mention how Lin Hongyu managed to escape death and escape with her life.

However, after Zhou Chun and others rested for two days in the camp outside the Black Dragon branch, they soon joined the battle to attack the Black Dragon branch.

At this time, most of the Purple Mansion cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators who set out from the Qingmang stronghold had arrived at the Black Dragon branch.

At this time, when they were attacking the Black Dragon branch, all of them were divided together.

In the sky and on the ground, monks were either using spells or using magical weapons to release sword energy and knife lights, and they all attacked the black water curtain shield in front of them.

The protective formation of the Black Dragon Branch is more powerful in defense than that of the Red Dragon Branch. The black water curtain shield formed by the power of the formation is not only extremely flexible, but also highly corrosive.

Previously, when Qinglian Temple was attacking this protective formation, many cultivators, not understanding how powerful it was, simply used magical weapons such as flying swords to chop it down.

The result was that after the body of the third-order flying sword came into contact with the black water curtain, it was instantly severely corroded and its spirituality was greatly damaged.

As for the magical weapons below the third level, they lost all their spirituality on the spot and were scrapped.

After suffering this great loss, everyone learned their lesson and only used magic to attack the water curtain shield from a distance, and never used the magic weapon itself to come into contact with it.

Because of this restriction, the Qinglian Temple encountered much greater resistance than the Red Dragon Branch when attacking the mountain protection formation.

"This formation is really powerful. Not only can it corrode the artifact itself, it can also corrode and dissolve the magic. Even if I use 100% of my strength to attack it, I'm afraid that less than 50% of it will be effective in the end!"

In mid-air, Zhou Chun rode a golden-winged tiger and hovered in the air. On the one hand, he urged the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Light" to transform into sword energy to attack the water curtain shield, and on the other hand, he was amazed at the protective formation of the Black Dragon Altar.

He didn't know much about formations, so he couldn't figure out what was so mysterious about them.

But the power of this formation can be clearly seen.

Thanks to the arrival of reinforcements from all sides, the number of Jingguo monks gathered outside the Black Dragon Branch Altar has now exceeded a thousand, most of whom are monks at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, and there are as many as sixty or seventy Purple Mansion stage monks.

But even with such a huge lineup and so many people attacking together, they were unable to shake the black water curtain shield.

"This formation is indeed powerful, but the fact that it can be as powerful as what we see now should also be closely related to the Dragon Transformation Sect monks inside!"

In the air, 40 to 50 feet away from Zhou Chun, Zhou Chongshan looked at the formation ahead with a twinkling light in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Have you noticed? Up to now, it has always been us who have been attacking, but the cultivators inside have never made a move to intercept. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but ask a question following his words.

Then Zhou Chongshan replied in a deep voice: "This situation may have occurred because the formation is so powerful that it is difficult to shake. The cultivators inside are confident that we cannot break the formation, so they conserve their energy and use the formation to consume our strength before they kill us when the opportunity arises!"

"Or maybe it's because they have used all their strength to support the operation of the formation, and they are unable to distract themselves and intercept the attacks we launched!"

After he said this, Zhou Chun understood instantly.

"If it is the combined strength of all the Dragon Transformation Sect monks that gives this formation such power, then it is normal."

Is it normal?
Zhou Chongshan shook his head slightly but didn't say much.

Zhou Chun was not familiar with formations, and did not understand how difficult it was for one formation to accommodate the power of so many cultivators.

But he knew it all too well.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the twenty Jindan stage cultivators in the sky who had not yet taken action.

What he could see, those Jindan stage cultivators could definitely see as well.

Now those people have not taken any action yet, I think they have already made relevant plans.

"Everyone, take pills to restore your mana and keep your mana above 80% at all times!"

Soon, everyone in the Zhou family received the message from the supreme elder Zhou Mingde.

I will only update once today, and twice tomorrow. I plan to update three times a day for the first two days to take a break, and then resume updating twice a day when the situation is not so serious!
