Jun Changxiao truly didn’t regard the Martial Emperor level elder of a first-rate sect. If he’d abused him, he’d abused him. However, the spirit stone vein about to emerge within the valley absolutely had to be claimed as his own, because it related to the sect’s subsequent development.

Currently, an anomaly was already spreading above the valley and had been discovered by outsiders. Wanting to hide it as they had on Tiegu Mountain was no longer possible. The only option was to prepare battle deployments in advance.

Just as the Haoguang Holy Sect elder had said, things don’t belong to whoever discovers them first, but to whoever has the ability to obtain them.

Today.

Sect Master Jun wanted to tell the world.

Not only did my sect discover the spirit stone vein first, we also have the ability to obtain it.

Anyone who covets it will pay a painful price.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Around the valley, formation flags were planted one by one.

When layers of lightning formations had been deployed, Zhen Dejun’s face gradually twisted into a fierce smile.

His two greatest pleasures were first, eating Liu Wanshi’s cooking, and second, using formations to perform explosive art.

Since comprehending the Thirty-Two Strange Gates Formation, Zhen Dejun’s understanding of formations had reached new heights. The lightning formations he created were even more powerful.

When these exploded, they’d definitely be as satisfying as eating roasted gluten skewers.

“Come, come.”

Zhen Dejun covered his face, laughing strangely. “Hurry and come!”

At the valley’s highest point.

Xiao Zuiji was wiping the artillery barrel, making it shine brightly in just moments.

He didn’t cultivate sword arts or blade arts.

But under the Sect Master’s cultivation (leading astray), he had deeply fallen in love with this kind of powerful hot weapon.

Although Li Qingyang and Ye Xingchen had always used System items to grow stronger, they were still relatively normal otherworld people in martial arts. Xiao Zuiji was absolutely a fusion of Earth civilization and otherworld martial arts.

Jun Changxiao sat on a stone, looking at the streaming lights continuously gathering in the sky. “Zuiji, replace the ammunition with the highest-level crystal cores.”

Spirit stone veins on the Xingyun Continent were contested resources. Many sects would definitely come. He wanted one shot to shock the multitude, shock them into knowing when to advance and retreat, into understanding gains and losses.

“Yes.”

Xiao Zuiji withdrew the crystal core power gathered in the field artillery, then took out dozens of crystal cores equivalent to peak Martial King level.

“Bring out the rocket launchers too.”

Jun Changxiao said, “If anyone dares fly across the boundary, immediately blast them down.”

Whoosh!

Xiao Zuiji waved his hand, summoning the divinely modified RPG rocket launcher, then began charging it with crystal cores.

Lightning formations surrounded the valley on all sides.

At the highest point, field artillery and the divinely modified RPG rocket launcher.

This luxurious defense was no less than the alert level when the beast horde had attacked Wangu Sect to save Purple Scale Demon King!

That time they’d fought the beast race.

This time they would face forces from major sects.

For the vein about to emerge, Sect Master Jun feared nothing and dared to make an enemy of the entire world.

Of course.

The premise was that not too many people came, and not too strong of sects came.

If he could choose, best would be some… well, the requirements weren’t high—fourth or fifth-rate would do.

This guy wasn’t completely stupid.

He knew that with the sect’s current strength, they weren’t yet sufficient to make an enemy of the entire world.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

The Ning brothers, Old Ge, the Five Extremes Evil Saint, and the Grand Elder of Extreme Cold Palace successively rushed over from the sect.

To obtain the spirit stone vein and prevent others from coveting it, Jun Changxiao had mobilized the sect’s current strongest combat power.

“Let me tell you.”

Little Dragon lay on a stone, glanced at the humanized Little Demon Fairy, and said coolly, “When fighting starts, don’t get in my way.”

“You…”

Little Demon Fairy angrily grabbed the Spirit Cat and viciously smashed it into the ground. The latter immediately cried out in misery, roaring in its heart, “She brought me along as a stress ball!”

However.

There was that tiny bit of comfortable feeling though.

“This place is about to undergo spiritual energy recovery. With human nature, they’ll definitely rush over.”

Purple Scale Demon King held his chin, thinking, “He’s having so many disciples on alert. Does he plan to fight with forces from major sects?”

As always, this guy wore red underwear with all other parts exposed.

His purple hair and tall figure standing among the crowd was like a dazzlingly magnificent… big fool.

“Junior Brother.”

Li Fei said in a low voice, “Going around with your body exposed every day really offends public decency. I have a school uniform in my ring. Why not put it on?”

Purple Scale Demon King said coolly, “No need. This is comfortable.”

“…”

Li Fei’s mouth twitched.

You’re comfortable, but there are many junior sisters here. Can’t you pay attention to your image!

“Huff!”

A surge of cold breath spread over.

Purple Scale Demon King involuntarily shivered, hurriedly turning his head to look, meeting Lu Qianqian’s eyes.

That woman said, “Put on clothes.”

Just five simple words, yet they made the air extremely cold in an instant.

Purple Scale Demon King shook with cold.

No good!

He’d catch a cold!

Purple Scale Demon King looked at Li Fei and said coolly, “School uniform, bring it!”

“Here!”

After putting on the reasonably fitting school uniform, Lu Qianqian withdrew the cold energy. Purple Scale Demon King also felt warmth, thinking warily, “This girl is definitely not simple either!”

Having joined Wangu Sect for some time, he had gradually realized the disciples seemed to have modest realms, but the aura they emanated was extremely powerful, especially in physical cultivation—completely not inferior to beast race members of the same level.

Very strange, very bizarre.

He’d just temporarily compromise and stay in Wangu Sect to investigate properly.

Foolish humans, remember—this king is not here for that food!

…

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Within the valley, fluorescent lights continuously rose, gradually gathering in the sky, allowing warriors in distant regions to see clearly.

“A sign of spiritual energy recovery!”

“A spirit stone vein is emerging!”

“Go, go!”

In a moment, forces from various provinces and commanderies who saw the heavenly anomaly assembled their people and rushed over—not only third and fourth-rate sects, but also seventh and eighth-rate schools.

Of course.

The seventh and eighth-rate ones purely came to watch the excitement, also hoping to pick up some small advantage by accident.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From the even more distant Haoguang Holy Sect, streams of light flew out, speeding toward the spiritual energy recovery site.

When Jun Changxiao had thrown Ren Shan with a punch, the middle-aged man had already notified the sect using secret methods, which was why they acted so quickly.

Cangshan Sect.

Ma Yunteng, Wang Donglin, and others also departed.

Miaohua Palace.

Zhangsun Fanghua, Leng Xingyue, and other elders successively descended the mountain.

Sects from other provinces and commanderies also dispatched warriors at the fastest speed to rush over.

The brilliantly shining light above the valley seemed to contain infinite magic, making forces from all directions rush over without thinking or consideration.

“This flame.”

Looking at the light in the sky that had reached its peak, Jun Changxiao murmured, “Attracts only moths.”

Seemingly also realizing they would soon face forces from all directions, the Wangu Sect disciples became as excited as if they’d been injected with chicken blood.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

An hour later, over ten Emperor-level experts from Haoguang Holy Sect tore through the sky, flying over. But when about to approach the valley, they all stopped.

Because ahead was a visibly layered formation emanating violent lightning-type energy.

Setting up formations so openly and brazenly was also quite arrogant!

The leading peak Martial Emperor said in a deep voice, “Lightning formations?”

The others’ faces changed slightly.

This kind of formation set up around the valley made them instantly sense danger!

“Everyone.”

Jun Changxiao sitting on a boulder picked up an amplifying megaphone. “This place has been occupied by my Wangu Sect. No one may overstep. Otherwise, face the consequences.”

“Wangu Sect?”

The leading peak Martial Emperor’s brows furrowed tightly.

Just then, a weak voice transmission reached his ears from the middle-aged man.

After listening, the leading expert’s eyes flashed with rage. “Sect Master Jun, you injured an elder of my Haoguang Holy Sect. Shouldn’t you at least give an explanation?”

Jun Changxiao spoke into the megaphone, “Didn’t like looking at him. Does this explanation satisfy you?”
