Jiang Xie’s understanding of the Nascent Soul body grew increasingly formidable, and his spiritual awareness expanded daily, so the task of searching for Lingyun Continent’s stronghold was entrusted to him.
“Sect Master, found it!”
“What location?”
“Southeast!”
“Let’s go!”
Thus, Sect Master Jun led his people to attack.
This fellow continued the strategy used against Chixia Continent, launching ambushes around the perimeter of the stronghold.
If they openly confronted an entire realm, the Eternal Sect certainly didn’t have that capability. However, fighting guerrilla warfare and conducting ambushes was no problem at all.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Ye Xingchen charged forward with his sword!
After breaking through to Wuhuang, his strength improved further. Even Lingyun Continent warriors comparable to third or fourth-grade Wuhuang were beheaded under his sharp blade.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Ziji, and the others could only temporarily rely on the Surge Talismans, so they couldn’t achieve instant kills when engaging enemies.
Actually, for them, killing people wasn’t the main purpose—being able to fight against high-realm experts and gain benefits from real combat was most crucial.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The battlefield was ablaze with light, madly burning up the graphics card.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Lingyun Continent’s reinforcements arrived very quickly. Several hundred Yellow-rank warriors and dozens of Profound-rank warriors came shooting over trailing streams of light.
“Retreat!”
Jun Changxiao showed no attachment to battle and immediately led everyone away.
Li Qingyang and the other disciples had the Steel Wings’ enhancement, so once they took flight, their speed made Lingyun Continent warriors eat their dust.
When the enemy refused to fight head-on and ran extremely fast, it was absolutely infuriating enough to make one cough up blood.
“Damn it!”
“Too despicable!”
“If you have guts, don’t run—fight me for three hundred rounds!”
Unable to catch up, the Lingyun Continent warriors could only hover in mid-air cursing to vent their angry emotions.
After consecutive ambushes on two realms, nearly two hundred people were severely injured.
The area of Xingyun Continent’s stronghold also increased to over a hundred square meters.
Of course.
It was still far from reaching the size of a small village.
No rush, no rush.
Developing and building territory needed to be done slowly—Jun Dog’s Leftovers had this time.
Moreover, this fellow definitely wouldn’t keep shearing wool from just the two sheep of Chixia Continent and Lingyun Continent. Because shearing too much would make them vigilant, so he set his sights on other realms.
When first arriving at the battlefield, quite a few realms participated in hunting him.
For example, Shengxuan Continent and Yujian Continent—if everyone shared the kills evenly, wouldn’t the area be built up!
This had to be done quickly, lest those sides received news and entered a state of alert beforehand, leaving him no opportunity to strike.
He especially had to be careful of retaliation from these realms.
Although he didn’t bring many people, they might not be discovered while mixing in the battlefield, but he still had to be cautious.
Most importantly, he had to restrain them from excessive killing—they absolutely couldn’t suddenly go bloodthirsty while outside!
Jun Changxiao’s principle was that it was fine to play around on the battlefield, but safety must be prioritized. He couldn’t make his loved ones shed tears.
“Let’s go, return to the sect.”
Due to the Surge Talismans, after ambushing Lingyun Continent, Jun Changxiao led his disciples back to the Eternal Sect—coming and going in a rush.
After they left, Chixia Continent and Lingyun Continent were holding emergency meetings, discussing how to counter Xingyun Continent’s ambushes and how to retaliate!
“Palace Master!”
An elder angrily said, “Summon more powerful experts from the sect, then scatter them around the stronghold. As soon as they dare come, eliminate them immediately!”
“No.”
Hong Yao rejected this: “Xingyun Continent can handle Nine Star Elder—their strength is very formidable. If we send more people in, it will only benefit them lurking in the shadows.”
The current situation was that although Chixia Continent had superior numbers, they were in the open, while Jun Changxiao was in the shadows.
“Palace Master.”
An elder suggested, “We just received news that Lingyun Continent was also ambushed by Xingyun Continent, with nearly a hundred casualties. We can join forces with this realm!”
“That’s indeed a good idea,” Hong Yao said.
The other elders expressed agreement.
Thus, Chixia Continent sent warriors to Lingyun Continent’s stronghold that very day.
Because both realms were victims with a common enemy, the alliance was instantly settled.
Alliances between realms on the battlefield were quite common, but having two high-tier realms join forces against a ninth-tier realm—this was probably a first!
So when news spread through the realms, it immediately sparked widespread discussion.
Some people believed that a realm that suddenly jumped out from nowhere and made two veteran realms join forces was truly impressive.
Others thought that Chixia Continent and Lingyun Continent were making too much of a ninth-tier realm—if it were their side, they could easily handle it.
…
Upon learning that Jun Changxiao had led people to ambush two realms, Mo Shangsheng completely collapsed: “Is the Realm Battlefield his family’s backyard? Coming and going as he pleases!”
“City Lord.”
A subordinate said, “Should we assist Chixia Continent and Lingyun Continent?”
Mo Shangsheng shook his head: “To freely enter and exit the Realm Battlefield, this kid probably has some connection with the Upper Realm. Let’s observe for now.”
Having an Earth-rank expert killed made him very angry.
But Xingyun Continent warriors could appear on the battlefield and come and go freely—this could only be achieved with a special relationship with the Upper Realm, so he had to seriously consider it.
Of course, City Lord Mo had already begun using his connections, trying to contact the Upper Realm to obtain information about Xingyun Continent and the Eternal Strongest Sect.
While the Xingyun Continent altar side could use connections to obtain intelligence on the battlefield’s major realms, Jiutian Continent naturally also had means to contact the Upper Realm.
…
In a great hall shrouded in ethereal mist.
A woman wrapped in faint clouds reclined on her throne, holding a jade slip for communicating with the lower realm in her right hand, saying with surprise: “Xingyun Continent entered the battlefield?”
The hunched old man standing below said with astonishment: “Doesn’t this realm need to wait five more years before they can enter?”
“Strange, strange.”
The woman was also full of confusion: “The Eternal Strongest Sect? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
The old man said, “Master, there’s news about the sect you asked me to investigate. It’s called the Eternal Sect, formerly the Iron Bones Clanging Sect, which has risen in Xingyun Continent in recent years.”
“The Eternal Strongest Sect and Eternal Sect are the same sect?”
“With such an outrageous name, they must be the same sect.”
The woman fell into brief silence, then said: “If so, he’ll probably go to the Realm Battlefield too. There are hundreds of realms there, with experts as numerous as sands in the Ganges River. With his arrogant personality, will he be discouraged?”
“Swoosh!”
She tossed the jade slip to the old man, saying lightly: “Tell the people in the lower realm that Xingyun Continent entering the Realm Battlefield is all within the rules.”
“Should we inform the Realm Hall about this?”
“No need.”
“Yes.”
The old man withdrew, then used divine arts to infuse the master’s words into the jade slip and send it to the lower realm, while muttering to himself: “Master has been paying special attention to Xingyun Continent recently. Could it be because she ascended from this realm?”
…
“City Lord!”
At Jiutian Continent’s stronghold, a subordinate rushed over: “News from the Upper Realm—Xingyun Continent entering the Realm Battlefield is all within the rules.”
Mo Shangsheng was instantly dumbfounded.
That realm’s stronghold hadn’t even developed yet, but they could freely enter and exit—how was this within the rules!
Wait! Wait!
Mo Shangsheng sat down, one hand tapping on the table. After much contemplation, he suddenly stood up with realization, exclaiming: “Xingyun Continent absolutely has someone in the Upper Realm!”
