Longevity Thunder Ancestor
Chapter 528: Zhang Zong's Retreat
Chapter 528 Returning to the Sect to Practice
After Master Wanfa fled, the Wanfa Sect's army also retreated like a tide.
The Wanfamen's siege ended in failure.
But Huayu Sect still suffered heavy losses.
The head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Yuan Luo Zhenren, and the second elder of the Ji family, Ji Jinqiu, both died in the battle.
Both of them are at the Golden Core stage and can be said to be the backbone of the sect.
Dozens of disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage also died in the battle, and countless more disciples in the Qi Refining Stage died.
The biggest loss was naturally the death of the sect's ancestor, Master Donghua. A burst of sorrowful cries rang out in Julu City: "Rest in peace, ancestor..."
The situation of the Wanfa Sect was not much better, as two Jindan cultivators and a large number of foundation-building disciples were also killed in the battle.
Afterwards, the Wanhua Sect also restrained its arrogance and stopped chasing and attacking the Huayu Sect.
However, the Huayu Sect did not give up, but gathered its troops and began to fight for the rich mining area that originally belonged to the Black Spirit Church.
And during this process, Lord Wanfa did not take action again.
In this way, the strength of the Huayu Sect and the Wanfa Sect returned to roughly the same level.
Although the battle situation was not very favorable for the Huayu Sect, it was at least no longer one-sided, but a tense situation with both sides winning and losing.
The reason why Huayu Sect did this was to plunder as many resources as possible for reserve during the period when Wanfa Zhenjun was unable to take action.
At the same time, it also prevents Wanfamen from relying on this rich mining area to recover too quickly.
In fact, for more than a thousand years, the Huayu Sect and the Wanfa Sect can be said to be old rivals and have fought many times.
But in the previous few times, both sides had Nascent Soul cultivators, so they fought very restrainedly and to the point.
But this time is different. The scale of the war between the two sects is unprecedented, and it can be said that it is a fight to the death.
Because for Huayu Sect, this is a fight of life and death, so they must go all out and hold on until a new Nascent Soul cultivator appears in the sect.
After the death of Master Donghua, the Huayu Sect established a Council of Elders consisting of seven elders who were at or above the middle Jindan stage, and jointly presided over the sect's major affairs.
These seven men are also called the ruling elders.
At the same time, some of the sect's foundation-building disciples who were on the verge of forming a pill also secretly returned to the mountain gate to prepare for forming a pill.
At this time, all the sect's treasuries were opened, and there was no longer a requirement for sect contribution points. Golden Core spiritual objects were distributed directly in an effort to attract as many Golden Core cultivators as possible during this difficult time.
Ouyang Zhenhua, who was ranked first among the ruling elders along with Jade Dragon Zhenren, also found Ning Fa for this matter.
At this time, Ouyang Zhenhua looked haggard, with gray hair on his temples, as if he was twenty years older.
After all, Master Donghua is not only the supreme elder of Huayu Sect, but also the pillar of Ouyang Family.
The death of Master Donghua was also a huge blow to the Ouyang family.
Ouyang Zhenhua looked at Ning Fa and said in a deep voice: "Nephew Ning, you are still some distance away from breaking through the golden elixir.
But after discussing with several of our ruling elders, we still think it would be better to send you back to the mountain gate to practice.
After all, with your strength and potential, once you break through the golden elixir, it will definitely be a huge boost in strength for our sect, and it is extremely critical at this moment.
Therefore, your top priority should be to concentrate on your cultivation and strive to improve your cultivation to the peak of the late foundation building stage as soon as possible. The sect will prepare sufficient cultivation resources for you."
Ning Fa was stunned at first, then looked thoughtful.
It can be said that these ruling elders have a long-term vision, which also makes Ning Fa feel somewhat relieved.
"Okay, Junior Brother, I have no objection." Ning Fa nodded.
Although his influence on the battlefield was comparable to that of a Golden Elixir, he was unable to actually control the outcome of this war between the two sects.
Or as Ouyang Zhenhua said, once he can advance to the Golden Core realm, it will have greater strategic significance.
After Ouyang Zhenhua left, Ning Fa looked solemn.
This is just right. Now he has accumulated a lot of cultivation resources. He can use this time to digest them and improve his cultivation to the peak of the late foundation building stage as soon as possible.
In this way, after going to the Moyang Mountains to obtain the second-level Xuanhuang Qi, you can prepare to form the pill.
But once he leaves, no one knows when he will be able to come back.
I’m afraid that the Ning family and the Cheng family will be under tremendous pressure.
He still needs to make some proper arrangements, but he believes that with his master around, he should be able to keep things stable.
Then Ning Fa went to see his master Cheng Ziyi.
After he finished speaking, Cheng Ziyi showed a look of relief.
“Very good, even if the sect doesn’t do this, I am planning to suggest this to them.
You can go with peace of mind and don't worry about this place. Your family doesn't need to worry either. I will arrange for the evacuation.
And I also plan to let Susu go back with me, so you two can keep each other company."
Ning Fa nodded and said in a deep voice: "Master, wait for me to come back!"
Afterwards, Ning Fa went to meet with Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Zhongjiu and other elders of the Ning family and made specific arrangements.
Afterwards, he used a short-distance teleportation array and returned to the Bailu Mountains where the Huayu Sect’s mountain gate was located in a very short time.
He also received a cave at Qingyu Peak, where the fourth-level spiritual vein of Huayu Sect was located, and lived there temporarily with Cheng Susu.
At this time, Ning Fa not only enjoyed the pure spiritual energy of the fourth-level spiritual vein, but also had many precious cultivation resources sent by the sect.
There are even some third-level elixirs that can improve the cultivation of Jindan monks, as well as some spiritual objects for cultivation that are rarely seen in the outside world.
This shows the sect’s sincerity and high hopes for him.
At this time in Qingyu Peak, in addition to Ning Fa, there were Ouyang Tianzong, Ji Qingqing, Xia Xinlan, Shao Sizheng, Fu Hong, Duan Peng and others who were on the verge of forming a pill.
Even Liu Qinghui was there. The reason she was here was not because she could break through the Jindan stage, but because she was already able to refine the third-level pill at the middle stage of foundation building.
Therefore, they were protected by the sect, and elixirs were refined for these elixir-forming seeds.
Ning Fa also seized every moment and practiced without sleep or food.
Time passed slowly.
The war between Huayu Sect and Wanfa Sect was still fierce, but it was at a stalemate.
During this process, Wanfa Zhenjun still did not take any action, which is why Huayu Sect was able to persist.
But as time went on, the Huayu Sect inevitably fell into a disadvantage.
Because I am isolated and helpless.
The disadvantage of Huayu Sect that it had no Nascent Soul cultivator in charge became apparent.
A large number of independent cultivators in the southern part of Jiang State joined the Wanfa Sect, and there were even some Jindan independent cultivators.
Even though Huayu Sect had lowered the threshold for recruiting disciples, almost no one was interested.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Huayu Sect is just holding on now.
Once Wanfa Zhenjun recovers a little from his injuries, it will be the end of Huayu Sect.
If I join Huayu Sect now, wouldn't that be seeking death?
In three years.
The Huayu Sect gradually gave up the rich mining area of the Black Spirit Church, but also took advantage of this period of time to seize many resources.
Moreover, when the Huayu Sect withdrew, it also caused extensive damage to this rich mining area.
Even if Wanfamen reoccupies this place, it will take a very high cost and time to resume mining.
Afterwards, the Huayu Sect retreated to Julu City and entered a state of full defense.
Wanfamen did not continue to attack, but began to digest the newly occupied resource points and recruited people on a large scale, obviously planning a larger offensive.
The intensity of the war also decreased slightly, and the Huayu Sect had some respite.
But everyone in the sect knew that this was the calm before the storm.
Another two years passed.
Wanfamen launched another fierce attack.
This time, there was extremely bad news for the Huayu Sect.
Wanfamen welcomed an important helper.
Although it is not as strong as the other three Nascent Soul Sects, its strength should not be underestimated.
In the Tianyou Immortal City at the deepest part of the Yunhuang Swamp, there lived a notorious demon cultivator in the late Jindan stage named Blood Eagle Zhenren.
This person recruited six other Jindan cultivators who were also notorious for their evil deeds, as well as a large number of foundation-building cultivators, and established the Blood Eagle Sect.
Wanfa Sect promised to support the Blood Eagle Sect in establishing its own sect, and agreed to cede part of Huayu Sect's territory to the Blood Eagle Sect in exchange for the Blood Eagle Sect's cooperation.
The joining of the Blood Eagle Sect immediately made the Huayu Sect even worse and it could no longer hold on.
After all, the number of high-level cultivators in the Blood Eagle Sect alone is equivalent to half of the Huayu Sect.
A year later, Julu City fell.
The Huayu Sect suffered heavy losses and retreated directly to the Heize Fairy City, the first city of Nantuo, in order to continue to delay time.
But the situation is very bad, after all, the most critical Jindan cultivators are far behind.
During this period of time, no one knew if it was the blessing of Lord Donghua in heaven, but the people among the batch of Jindan seeds selected by Huayu Sect actually broke through to the Jindan realm one after another.
The first one was Ouyang Tianzong, who was widely expected and recognized as the strongest young man in Huayu Sect besides Ning Fa. He successfully formed a pill.
In the following six months, Ji Qingqing from the Ji family and Xia Xinlan from the Xia family also succeeded in forming their elixirs.
Coincidentally, these three people are from family factions.
These three are all extremely talented, and their strength is far greater than that of cultivators of the same level.
Although he had just advanced to the Golden Core Realm and had not yet refined his own magical weapon, he did have an ancient treasure bestowed by the sect.
In this way, he would not be at a disadvantage when facing a Jindan cultivator of the same level.
With the addition of these three Jindan cultivators, and the Huayu Sect relying on the strong city restrictions for defense, the dangerous battle situation was barely stabilized for a while.
At this time, seven or eight years had passed since the two sects went to war.
But the most crucial thing is the Nascent Soul cultivator. None of the Huayu Sect’s late Jindan elders are still able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
one year later.
In a quiet cave on the mountainside of Qingyu Peak of Huayu Sect, Cheng Susu, wearing a flowery dress and with an elegant and pretty face, walked out of one of the quiet rooms.
After these years of practice, she has now reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.
She walked to the door of another quiet room a hundred feet away. Looking at the tightly closed door and the flickering ban on it, Cheng Susu sighed softly, and worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Because since Ningfa entered this quiet room seven years ago, he has never walked out.
This made Cheng Susu very worried about Ning Fa's situation, but she didn't dare to disturb him without permission for fear of affecting Ning Fa's practice.
At this moment, a long whistle sounded from the quiet room, and the restrictions in the quiet room were also flashing with intense light, as if it was bearing a shocking impact.
