Chapter 231: One Misstep Leads to Eternal Regret [Subscription Request]

The formation is broken!

When the two bases of the protective formation were destroyed one after another, the Black Dragon Branch Guardian Formation suffered irreparable damage.

The protective formation that could originally be restored in an hour at most was now difficult to restore intact.

The destruction of these two formation bases greatly boosted the morale of the Jingguo side, but it also made the Hualong Sect monks shocked and angry, and they couldn't help but feel desperate and desperate.

Soon, several guardians of the Dragon Transformation Sect used the desperate secret technique of "Dragon Transformation and Ascension to Heaven" and transformed into dragons, rushing into the battlefields everywhere and slaughtering the foundation-building monks on the Jingguo side.

Although the fight between the two sides was fierce before, they still abided by some tacit rules. Before completely defeating the opponent's Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator would not take the initiative to hunt down the opponent's Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But now that the two formation bases were broken, it was only a matter of time before the mountain gate was breached. The Dragon Transformation Sect monks were in despair and would not care about anything else.

The result was a mixed bag of options.

Upon seeing this, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators from the Jingguo faction, who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to expand their victory, hurried back to rescue their own descendants.

At this time, even if Taoist Mingjing and other people from the three major sects brought out the orders of the Jindan stage cultivators, they would not be able to truly restrain the Zifu stage cultivators.

After all, the law does not blame the public.

Could those Jindan-stage cultivators really kill all these dozens of Zifu-stage cultivators?
Once the people are dispersed, it will be very difficult to gather them again.

Some people even voluntarily withdrew from the battle because they were exhausted or seriously injured.

Immortal cultivators may be excellent fighters, but they are not soldiers.

It is difficult for them to continue fighting on orders from their superiors even if they are seriously injured.

Perhaps when defending their own family, they could fight to the death, but this is absolutely impossible to do so in the current situation.

Once there are many such monks who retreat, other monks will naturally want to follow suit.

So, in a confused manner, the offensive battle, which was supposed to take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, turned into a retreat.

When they found that their number of monks was decreasing, some monks who were still inside the Black Dragon Branch Mountain Gate even thought that they had been defeated, and they immediately turned around and fled in panic.

As a result, many unlucky guys lost their lives in this way!

Fortunately, the four members of the Zhou family did not encounter such unfortunate things.

After breaking through an array base, Zhou Mingde and other nine Purple Mansion cultivators who had made great contributions were busy besieging and killing the four guardians of the Dragon Transformation Sect inside, and had no intention of expanding their victory elsewhere.

After they surrounded and killed three of the four guardians of the Hualong Sect, they were all exhausted and prepared to rest on the spot to recover their magic power.

Before they could recover their magic power to attack again, the situation suddenly changed, forcing them to withdraw from the battlefield.

It was at this time that Zhou Chun and the other two followed Zhou Mingde and evacuated the Black Dragon Branch Mountain Gate.

Because the retreat was a bit chaotic, after arriving at the temporary camp outside, the first thing that Taoist Mingjing and other monks from the three major sects did was to gather all the monks together to investigate and inquire about the reasons for the retreat.

In this kind of survey, of course few people dared to say that they retreated on their own initiative. They all insisted that they retreated after seeing others retreat.

People like the Zhou family, who retreated with other cultivators, even brought other cultivators along to testify against each other.

In the end, we could only identify who were the first to return to the camp by identifying them one by one through the people who stayed in the camp.

This implicated Zhou Chongshan and Zhou Jiarui!

Fortunately, Taoist Mingjing had a good impression of the Zhou family, and Zhou Chongshan’s wounds and his age were there.

After understanding the situation clearly and learning that Zhou Mingde's team had broken through the base of an array, he did not pursue the matter any further and even gave Zhou Chongshan a healing elixir.

At this moment, seeing the changes in the war situation below, the Jindan stage cultivators of the Jingguo side fighting above the sky relied on their large numbers and immediately sent one person down to investigate and inquire about the situation.

Taoist Mingjing did not dare to hide anything and immediately reported the results of the preliminary investigation.

After learning about the situation, the Jindan stage cultivator was both happy and angry, with extremely complicated emotions.

The destruction of the two formation bases means that the Black Dragon Branch Altar’s guarding formation has defects that are difficult to repair in a short period of time, which will be of decisive help in capturing this place.

However, the battle, which should have been a good opportunity to expand the results of the war, failed because of the behavior of some family monks who ignored the overall situation. How can this not make people angry?

However, the mistake had been made. By this time, the Dragon Transformation Sect monks in the Black Dragon branch had already rearranged their defenses, while their own side's morale was low due to this inexplicable defeat.

Even though the Jindan cultivator was angry, he knew that now was not the time to pursue responsibility, so he could only order the camp to be guarded strictly and rest first.
-
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please accept my condolences. Now that things have come to this, you should take care of yourself!"

In the temporary camp, Zhou Chun looked at Wang Zhixiong, who looked listless and numb, and felt relieved.

Fortunately, he was not greedy at that time and insisted on attacking the cave of the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator with Wang Zhixiong and others, otherwise his current situation would probably not be much better than that of the other party.

It turned out that although Wang Zhixiong and others spent a lot of effort and successfully broke into the cave of the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, they gained a lot of benefits from it.

But because it took too long, we missed the best time to retreat.

By the time they finished looting the cave and came out, Zhou Chun and his men had almost already withdrawn from the Black Dragon branch.

As a result, monks like Wang Zhixiong who did not have time to retreat were immediately in dire straits.

Under the mopping-up by the Hualong Sect monks who returned, most of them lost their lives. Only a very small number of monks like Wang Zhixiong, who had many life-saving trump cards in their hands, managed to catch up with the retreating army and escape.

At that time, there were a total of eight foundation-building cultivators from the Wang and Sun families. In the end, only Wang Zhixiong managed to escape successfully. Even Sun Zhongping, the head of the Sun family, could not escape.

This was an extremely heavy blow to the Wang and Sun families.

So when Wang Guangping, the Purple Mansion cultivator of the Wang family, learned the news, he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot. The internal injuries he had suffered on the battlefield worsened a lot, and he had to go to the quiet room to meditate and recuperate.

Wang Zhixiong, who was in front of Zhou Chun, was also numb and extremely exhausted.

At this moment, facing his safety, Wang Zhixiong's eyes flashed with grief, and he couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet and shouting: "Greed blinds people! Wang is unworthy of the trust of the family, and unworthy of the fallen elders and fellow Taoists of the Sun family!"

His heart was filled with regret at this moment, regretting that he had been greedy for a moment and caused such a big mistake.

This regret may accompany him for the rest of his life and he will never be able to get over it.

But that's how life is. There are countless examples of people who have made eternal regrets due to a single misstep.

All Zhou Chun could do at this time was to say some words of comfort and remind himself to take this as a warning. In this way, after Zhou Chun and his companions rested in the camp for most of the day, the battle between the Jindan-stage cultivators above the sky finally ended with the Hualong Sect's defeat.

However, the Jindan stage cultivators' means of preserving their lives were too strong. Without an absolute advantage, Jingguo was unable to kill even one of the opponents. He only managed to injure two of them and achieved a small victory.

The defeated Hualong Sect monks quickly set up three more formations for defense at the gap.

This made the monks from Jingguo stop their pursuit and return to the camp to rest.

At this time, Zhou Chun felt another kind of power of the Jindan stage cultivator.

When more than a dozen Jindan stage monks absorbed spiritual energy together to restore their magic power, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire temporary camp was sucked up by them like a whale swallowing the sea.

Even so, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this temporary camp is not enough for these people to use. They can only use extremely precious spirit crystals to help restore their magic power, or take Buyuan Dan which is much more effective than Huiyuan Dan.

In comparison, those Jindan stage cultivators of the Hualong Sect are much happier.

The spiritual vein inside the Black Dragon Branch Mountain Gate is a high-level spiritual vein. The concentration of spiritual energy is close to that of the top-level spiritual vein. Not to mention supplying ten Jindan stage monks with mana recovery, even supplying thirty to fifty Jindan stage monks with mana recovery is sufficient.

With such a favorable geographical location, they are not afraid of delay.

The longer it drags on, the better it is for them.

The monks from the three major sects of Jingguo, who were the attacking party, were naturally aware of this.

Therefore, after the twenty Jindan stage cultivators had been meditating and resting for seven or eight hours, a new attack order was conveyed again.

"Pass on the decree to all the seniors. All those who are not seriously injured must participate in this round of attack. Only victory is allowed in this battle. Defeat is not allowed. Anyone who dares to retreat in the face of the battle will be killed without mercy!"

Inside the camp, Taoist Mingjing conveyed the order to each Jindan-stage cultivator in a stern tone, his words filled with a murderous aura.

Obviously, because the law does not punish everyone, the monks who retreated earlier were not really punished.

But in view of the previous poor performance, this attack order directly blocked everyone's retreat!
Faced with such a strict order, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone had no choice but to obey.

Soon, twenty Jingguo Jindan monks rushed into the sky again.

Seeing this, the Jindan monks of the Hualong Sect in the Black Dragon branch on the opposite side had no choice but to continue to fight.

Now they have no choice but to go into battle.

After the two formation bases were damaged, even with the presence of Dillon, the formation master, there was no way to repair the formation bases in just one or two days and restore the formation to its previous power.

Unable to exert its previous power, this protective formation was unable to withstand the fierce attacks of twenty Jindan stage cultivators and thousands of Zifu and foundation building cultivators.

In comparison, if they go into battle, with generals against generals and soldiers against soldiers, their soldiers can still have some geographical advantages.

After the fourth-level beings of both sides went to the sky to fight, the Purple Mansion cultivators on Jingguo's side led the Foundation Establishment cultivators to launch an offensive against the gap.

The Moon Wheel Sect monks who came to support once again set up a "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formation" and first condensed a silver arrow that was dozens of feet long and shot it at a newly arranged formation near the gap.

Boom!

Along with a loud roar, the formation began to shake violently and almost broke.

On the other side, the monks from Qinglian Temple were unwilling to fall behind and set up two of Qinglian Temple's secret battle formations, the "Qinglian Sword Formation".

Then two huge green swords condensed in the air and each slashed towards a formation set up by a monk from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

At the same time, cultivators from various immortal cultivation families like the Zhou family rushed forward and poured all kinds of spells and magic weapons onto the three formations.

Everyone knew that if they wanted to attack the Black Dragon branch and avoid being cut off from behind, these three formations had to be removed first.

The Dragon Transformation Sect monks inside were trying to delay time as much as possible.

Except for the monks who were controlling the formation, the rest of them were trying their best to intercept the spells and magic weapons directed at the formation in order to share the pressure on the formation.

However, the difference in numbers cannot be made up by three formations.

After the attack lasted for almost two hours, the formation attacked by the "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formation" was broken first, and many of the Dragon Transformation Sect monks inside were killed on the spot.

Afterwards, the "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formation" continued to attack another formation and soon broke it again.

In this way, within just a quarter of an hour, all three formations were broken, and the monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect no longer had any formations to use.

"Charge! Kill all the traitors from the Hualong Sect inside!"

A Purple Mansion monk of the Moon Wheel Sect shouted loudly, and took the initiative to disperse the "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formation" that had performed great deeds, and led his men to rush towards the gap.

The five members of the Zhou family followed closely behind Taoist Mingjing and once again charged into the Black Dragon Branch Mountain Gate.

Because this time the higher-ups have issued a death order to capture the Black Dragon branch.

Therefore, Zhou Chun and the other three followed closely behind the Grand Elder this time and did not dare to act alone.

It's not just the Zhou family that's like this. The cultivators from other immortal cultivation families also either follow their elders or stick together.

After the previous incident in which the Purple Mansion cultivator of the Hualong Sect disobeyed the rules and slaughtered the Foundation Establishment cultivators, everyone became much more cautious.

Soon after they broke into the gate of the Black Dragon Branch Mountain, Zhou Chun and his companions engaged in battle with the other monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect who were also gathered together.

All kinds of magical lights were flashing and bursting in the sky and on the ground, and magical weapons were flying in the air. The entire Black Dragon Branch Mountain Gate instantly turned into a large battlefield.

In such a chaotic battle, even a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator could be killed instantly by concentrated fire, and many people were ambushed by other enemies because they were focused on fighting the enemy in front of them.

For this purpose, Zhou Chun transformed the Golden Rock Turtle into a mobile fortress, specifically to defend the four of them on its back from enemy sneak attacks.

They followed closely behind Taoist Mingjing and the other large group, not seeking merit but only avoiding mistakes.

After fighting for more than an hour, the group had already arrived in front of the cave of a Jindan-stage cultivator from the Black Dragon branch.

However, the group of Dragon Transformation Sect monks who were defeated and fled by them actually escaped into the protective formation of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Mingjing, what should we do now?"

A Purple Mansion monk who came from a family of immortal cultivators looked at Taoist Mingjing and asked him about his plans with expectant eyes.

Alas, because of some family matters, I was anxious and irritable, and in a very bad state. After hanging up the phone today, I was in a state of anxiety and it was difficult to concentrate on writing. I have dragged it on until now to finish this chapter. I don’t know if I can write a chapter tonight. If I can, I will update, if not, forget it!
