Chapter 234: Fierce Battle, the Dragon Cult's Backhand [Subscribe]

What a coincidence.

On the second day after seeing Lin Wan'er off, Zhou Mingde was notified by Taoist Mingjing to attend a meeting.

It turned out that the Jindan-stage cultivators also knew that the White Dragon Branch Altar was difficult to attack, so they convened a meeting of all the Zifu-stage cultivators to solicit opinions and see if they could brainstorm and come up with some useful ideas.

At this time, after Zhou Mingde followed Taoist Mingjing into the stone hall that served as the meeting venue, he saw thirty-nine Jindan-stage cultivators gathered together, each sitting cross-legged in two rows in the hall.

As for them, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, they could only sit in line in the open space behind the two rows of Golden Core Stage cultivators.

By the time all the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators who had been summoned arrived, the number of Purple Mansion Stage cultivators in the hall had exceeded one hundred and fifty!

"Okay, now that everyone is here, we can start."

At the head of the hall, a middle-aged man in a silver robe and white hair spoke first.

The man's name is Liu Yiping, and he is the grand elder of the Yuelun Sect. His cultivation has already reached the late Jindan stage, and he is the strongest person among the Yuelun Sect's several Yuanying stage ancestors.

On his left and right sides sat a Taoist nun in green and an old man with red hair. They were the Great Elder Jin Chixuan of Yanyang Sect and the Great Elder of Qinglian Temple, Taoist nun Qingsu, both of whom were in the late Jindan stage.

In this southern expedition against the Hualong Sect, the three of them were the de facto commanders-in-chief.

And because the Yuelun Sect was obviously stronger than the Yanyang Sect and the Qinglian Temple, Liu Yiping was invisibly superior to Jin Chixuan and the Taoist nun Qingsu.

So he will chair today's meeting.

At this moment, Liu Yiping took the lead and attracted the attention of the whole audience, then he said in a deep voice: "Today, I have called all of you here to listen to your suggestions on how to attack the White Dragon Altar. I hope we can pool our wisdom and find some good strategies."

"So if you have any good ideas or suggestions, please feel free to speak up and give full play to them later."

At this point, he turned his gaze and suddenly looked at a Jindan cultivator on the left and said, "Now, please let Junior Brother Sun of our sect explain the known information about the White Dragon Branch Altar!"

"As you command, Junior Brother."

The Jindan cultivator named Sun responded and then slowly spoke about what he had observed and learned about the situation inside the White Dragon Branch Altar.

According to what he said, there are currently about twenty Jindan-stage cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect in the White Dragon branch, as well as several fourth-level dragons and two fourth-level monsters.

In view of the powerful combat capability of those dragons, the fourth-level combat capabilities in the White Dragon Branch can be regarded as more than thirty people.

Although this number is still slightly inferior to that of the Yasukuni Shrine, they are still capable of fighting.

Moreover, the enemy has the advantage of geographical location and the support of the White Dragon Branch's mountain protection formation. This alone is enough to wipe out the advantage of the Yasukuni Alliance in fourth-level combat power.

As for the third-level combat power, preliminary estimates show that the number of Purple Mansion monks in the White Dragon Branch is more than sixty. There may also be some third-level monsters, but the number is unlikely to exceed twenty.

In this regard, the Yasukuni Shrine's advantage is very obvious.

It is difficult to estimate the second-level combat power, but it is estimated that the Yasukuni Shrine still has an absolute advantage.

Therefore, the key difficulty of this war lies in whether we can break through the mountain protection formation of the White Dragon Branch.

If we can replicate the situation at the Black Dragon branch, it will not be difficult to win this battle.

At this time, the monk surnamed Sun finished his introduction and said in a deep voice: "That's the basic situation. If you have any ideas, please speak up."

After hearing his words, all the Purple Mansion cultivators present bowed their heads and began to ponder.

Not long after this, some Purple Mansion cultivators boldly made suggestions.

For fear of attracting too much attention, Zhou Mingde did not dare to speak at first.

After seeing many people make suggestions that seemed even more absurd to him, and not receiving any harsh reprimands, he felt relieved and boldly expressed his own guess.

He found a gap where no one was talking and said respectfully, "My dear seniors, please bear in mind that the Hualong Sect knows that they are not as strong as us, but they still gather a large number of troops at the White Dragon Branch to fight us. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on!"

"Oh, what do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

Liu Yiping turned his gaze to Zhou Mingde and motioned for him to continue.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingde lowered his head and said respectfully, "Senior, please understand. I feel that the Hualong Sect may be deliberately creating a false situation and deliberately creating the illusion of a decisive battle with us at the White Dragon Branch. They may have other plans in secret!"

Hearing his words, Liu Yiping frowned slightly, revealing a look of surprise, and then followed his words and said: "You mean to say that the White Dragon Altar is just a bait?"

"I just have a guess about this, I'm not sure."

Zhou Mingde lowered his head even more, and his voice became even lower, looking very cautious.

Seeing this, Liu Yiping nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is a somewhat novel idea. Perhaps we cannot rule out this possibility!"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes, suddenly looked at Zhou Mingde and asked, "Then what do you think the real plot of the Dragon Transformation Sect is if the White Dragon Branch Altar is just a bait?"

"This one……"

Zhou Mingde hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I dare not make any rash judgments!"

Seeing him hesitating like this, Liu Yiping couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "Don't worry, just let go of your reservations and say what you want to say. It doesn't matter even if you say something wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately raised his head slightly, bowed to the leader and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, senior. I will just say a few nonsense. If what I said is absurd, please don't blame me!"

As he spoke, he told them that he believed the Hualong Sect might make a feint to the east and attack in the west to harass the homeland of Jingguo.

After hearing his guess, Liu Yiping immediately shook his head and laughed, "If they just sent a small group of elite troops to harass our rear, then it would be easier to deal with."

Liu Yiping did not explain why it was easy.

Zhou Mingde didn't dare to ask any more questions.

By giving the suggestion, he had achieved his goal and done his best.

What's more, Lin Hongyu's information was vague and people could not fully trust it.

Then, after half a day of brainstorming and discussion, this pre-war discussion finally came to an end.

At the end, Liu Yiping, Jin Chixuan and Taoist nun Qingsu also made a joint decision to launch an attack on the mountain two days later.

Naturally, two days passed in a flash.

On that day, the Yasukuni Army set up battle array on all four sides of the Bailong altar, preparing to launch an attack from all four directions at the same time.

"My fellow Taoists, the rebels of the Hualong Sect violated human ethics, colluded with the demon clan, fed dragons with humans, and sold out the interests of the entire human race. They are outright traitors!"

"If we don't get rid of these evil people, the lives of our human cultivators and common people will be threatened at all times, and the interests of our human race will be continuously stolen by the demons. It can be said that the consequences are endless!"

"So today, we, the human cultivators with justice in our hearts, gather here to eradicate the traitors for our human race, punish the wicked and eliminate the evil, rectify human ethics, practice the righteous path, and safeguard the interests of our human race and the lives of the cultivators and ordinary people from being violated!"

In the sky, Liu Yiping, dressed in a silver robe and white hair, stood in the air, his feet on the void. The sound was like the roar of thunder, full of momentum.

He righteously denounced the crimes committed by the Hualong Sect, and described the southern expedition against the Hualong Sect as a just war to uphold justice, protect the righteous path, and safeguard the human race.

We have already occupied the moral high ground.

Unfortunately, he is not that kind of orator, and the cultivators below are not ignorant people who can be easily instigated, so these words can only become polite remarks.

Perhaps he himself realized this, so he quickly stopped what he wanted to say and turned all his words into just two words.

"attack!"

As the order to attack was issued, the Yasukuni Army, which had been well prepared, immediately launched an attack on the White Dragon Altar in front of them, which was covered by white clouds.

The Fire Dragon Technique, Water Dragon Technique, Golden Spear Technique, Wind Tornado and other second-level spells that Zhou Chun was familiar with were cast one after another by the cultivators and bombarded the area covered by white clouds like raindrops.

The scene was just like the artillery positions bombarding the enemy's heights in the war in his previous life, extremely spectacular.

Even someone like Zhou Chun got his blood boiling after seeing this scene.

War is a man's romance!

Which man wouldn't be excited after watching this kind of scene of magic spells being fired at the same time?

Which man can withstand such temptation?
Zhou Chun also pinched his fingers and cast several second-level spells he had learned. He had not been in foundation building for long, and usually focused on meditation and cultivation of secret arts. He also had to spend a lot of time dealing with family affairs. For many second-level spells, he had only learned them but was not proficient at them at all.

That is to say, if he were allowed to calm down and cast a spell, he could perform this spell, but he generally wouldn't have the opportunity to use it in battle.

Now that the opportunity was rare, he simply used the battlefield as a training ground to train his casting speed.

Faced with various attack spells flying in from all directions, the Dragon Transformation Sect monks in the White Dragon Branch also cast various spells to intercept and fight back.

Just as a golden spear flew in front of the white fog area, it was blocked by a suddenly rising khaki wall of light. Then the khaki wall of light was shattered by a series of attack spells.

In this battle of offense and interception and defense, the number of spells that can actually fall into the white fog area is actually not that many, only about 30% of the total.

At this time, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators and the Purple Mansion cultivators took action, while those Golden Core Stage cultivators had not yet taken action.

Obviously, the attack on the first day was still mainly for testing, mainly to test the strength of the enemy inside and the strength of the mountain protection formation.

After attacking for about half a day, Zhou Chun and others received an order to stop because of excessive consumption of magic power.

When they stopped attacking and returned to the camp to meditate and restore their magic power, thirty-nine Jindan stage monks took over and launched a fierce attack.

But one after another, magical weapons with powerful spiritual energy and dazzling light blasted towards the gate of the White Dragon Branch Mountain, and soon they started to fight with the magical weapons and spells flying out from inside.

In this clash of magic weapons, the aftermath alone was enough to disperse a lot of the white mist that Zhou Chun and others had been unable to disperse, revealing the true appearance of the creatures inside.

The mountain protection formation of the White Dragon Branch is different from that of the Red Dragon Branch and the Black Dragon Branch.

It is divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas. The outer area is the white fog area that Zhou Chun and others had seen before.

This layer of white fog area will not appear at ordinary times, and will only appear when the mountain protection formation is fully operational.

Its appearance can directly expand the protection range of the mountain protection formation several times!
But in fact, this layer of white fog area is not considered the mountain gate of the White Dragon Branch. Even if it is destroyed, it will have no effect on the White Dragon Branch's mountain protection formation.

The inner area behind the outer layer is the real location of the White Dragon Branch Mountain Gate, which is protected by a formation shield.

Only by destroying the array base in this inner area can the array be truly damaged.

The previous attack by Zhou Chun and others didn't even touch the inner door.

At this time, the attacks of the Jindan stage cultivators quickly tore through the outer layer of the sea of ​​clouds and mist that was dozens of miles deep, and attacked the inner layer of the formation shield.

Under such a fierce attack, the Jindan stage monks of the Hualong Sect and the fourth-order monsters in the White Dragon branch could no longer hide themselves, and could only take action to intercept and resist the attacks from outside.

After another half-day of attack, the Yasukuni Alliance, feeling that they had almost figured out the number of enemy personnel inside, stopped the attack and ceased fighting.

After a day of rest, the real battle to attack the mountain finally began on the second day.

But on the four sides of the White Dragon Altar, the Moon Wheel Sect monks set up three "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formations", the Yanyang Sect monks set up three "Flame Dragon Burning Sky Formations", and the Qinglian Temple monks set up two "Qinglian Sword Formations".

The power exerted by these eight battle formations is equivalent to that of eight mid-stage Jindan cultivators.

The thirty-nine Jindan stage monks were responsible for each side with nine people each, and they were interspersed to guard between the eight battle formations.

Liu Yiping, Jin Chixuan and Taoist nun Qingsu sat in the center, coordinating all four directions.

"attack!"

Following Liu Yiping's order, all the Jingguo monks who were in place launched a fierce attack on the White Dragon Branch Altar.

This time, the Jindan stage cultivators and the eight battle formations acted as pioneers.

The attack they launched first tore apart the white mist and sea of ​​clouds, and the many Purple Mansion Stage cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators behind them charged forward with all their might, rushing directly into the torn white mist and sea of ​​clouds and attacking the inner layer of the mountain protection formation shield.

But at this time, accompanied by several long dragon roars, three dragons, two black and one white, and a giant black turtle rushed out of the mountain protection formation.

Relying on their powerful bodies, they simply ignored attacks below the Jindan stage and immediately restrained the power of more than a dozen Jindan stage cultivators.

Then another ochre-colored giant elephant rushed out from inside and rushed straight towards a "Crescent Moon Shooting Star Formation", attracting the power of two Jindan stage cultivators.

As a result, the number of Jindan-stage cultivators on the Jingguo Alliance side who can participate in the attack on the formation is less than seven.

The battle lasted from day to night, and the monks on both sides relied on taking drugs to restore their magic power to maintain the battle.

As the attacking side, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, the Jingguo Alliance also lost a lot of manpower. On that day, three Purple Mansion period cultivators and more than twenty Foundation Establishment period cultivators were killed.

However, such casualties did not move the three commanders at all. They only gave all the monks less than four hours of rest before they ordered a second attack.

Once, twice, three times...

In just seven days, the Yasukuni Shrine organized five attacks!
In just seven days, the number of Purple Mansion cultivators who died outside the White Dragon Branch Altar reached thirteen, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators reached more than one hundred and seventy!
In addition, the number of those seriously and slightly injured is even greater.

Such heavy casualties also set a precedent for the largest casualties since the war began.

Naturally, with such heavy casualties, there were endless complaints from the people, and there were even cases of people deliberately getting injured in order to avoid fighting.

But under Liu Yiping's tough approach, all complaints are just complaints and cannot really influence his decision!
When the fifth battle that lasted for most of the day came to an end, without waiting for the people below to report the casualties of the attack, Liu Yiping said in a deep voice: "After days of attacks, the enemy's formation has reached its limit. Another fierce attack will break it in one blow!"

Having said that, he directly gave the order: "Pass the order down, the army will rest for half a day and then continue to organize the attack!"

Then he went back to meditate and restore his magic power.

After he issued this order, the monks who had just retreated from the battlefield had no time to rejoice that they had survived another disaster, but instead they sighed with bitter faces.

The brutal battles of the past few days have truly made them feel the ruthlessness and cruelty of war. The self-confidence and arrogance brought about by the previous two great victories have now completely dissipated.

The Zhou family is no exception.

After returning to the temporary camp, Zhou Chun didn't take time to rest and hurried to another room to visit Zhou Jiarui who was seriously injured.

During the third battle to attack the mountain, Zhou Jiarui was unfortunately hit by a second-grade superior spell. Although he managed to save his life, he suffered serious injuries that were difficult to recover from and had to stay in the camp to recuperate.

Zhou Chongshan, who was injured earlier, also suffered a relapse of his old injuries during days of fighting and was also lying in bed.

At this moment, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Jiarui, whose face was as white as gold paper, lying on the bed, and asked with concern: "Uncle Eleven, how do you feel? I have another Snow Jade Ginseng Pill here, why don't you take it!"

"No need. I am not going to die in my current condition. It is a good opportunity for me to not go to the battlefield again. You should keep your Snow Jade Ginseng Pill as a backup!"

Zhou Jiarui shook his head slightly and declined Zhou Chun's kindness in a weak voice.

His words made Zhou Chun at a loss for words.

It cannot be said that Zhou Jiarui's idea is wrong, but it is not difficult to see from his words how strong the war-weariness of those family monks in the National Salvation Army is.

And when this war-weariness reached its peak, Zhou Chun didn't know what would happen.

Now he only hoped to break through the White Dragon Branch's mountain protection formation as soon as possible, and have a face-to-face battle with the Dragon Transformation Sect monks inside to vent his resentment.

"Then Uncle Eleven, you should have a good rest. I will go visit the Second Elder later."

Zhou Chun patted Zhou Jiarui's wrist gently, turned around and left the room.

But as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Lin Wan'er rushing in. It was unknown how she had entered the temporary camp.

After seeing him, Lin Wan'er immediately rushed forward and said in a hurry: "Something big has happened, Brother Zhou, please take me to see Senior Zhou. I have important information to tell you!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he quickly comforted her, "Don't panic, Brother Lin, we can talk slowly. I will take you to see the Grand Elder right away."

After saying that, he took him to Zhou Mingde's room.

"Today, I received news from my godmother that the Dragon Transformation Cult has gained the support of the Jiaolong Clan, and now the Jiaolong Clan has begun to launch a beast tide!"

"The Scarlet Fire Flood Dragon and the Blood Flame Flood Dragon that disappeared earlier are gathering beasts from various places!"

"And according to my godmother, this beast tide will be divided into two waves. One wave will surge towards the White Dragon Altar, and the other wave will surge towards Yunzhou and Lanzhou of Jingguo!"

In the room, after seeing Zhou Mingde, Lin Wan'er immediately told him the important news she brought this time.
