At Breaking Sky Peak, before the Hundred Mortal Hall.
You Qin Xuan Ya, wearing an ice-blue long dress, bustled about carrying a great sword on her back.
No one had required You Qin Xuan Ya to handle these trivial matters, but she felt that having been granted the honor of ‘Head Disciple’ by the sect, she should shoulder such responsibilities.
Although, if judging purely by cultivation level, the Head Disciple should be…
A certain handsome fellow surnamed Li.
This true Head Disciple had currently used a transformation technique on his main body, hiding in a place he considered quite safe. Though far removed from the great battle outside, he was still carefully planning, arranging, and exerting effort to stabilize Degree Immortal Gate…
“Xuan Ya!”
An elder called from inside the Hundred Mortal Hall, summoning You Qin Xuan Ya over.
Several True Immortal elders on duty handling external affairs here handed the jade tokens for activating the ley line transportation formation to You Qin Xuan Ya. They also needed to rush to the outer peaks for battle!
“Please go with peace of mind, Elders!”
You Qin Xuan Ya gripped the jade tokens, her eyes full of determination.
These external affairs elders each nodded with a smile, although…
In their hearts, they felt slightly uneasy about how You Qin Xuan Ya’s words sounded.
At present, several True Immortal elders rode clouds toward the southwest direction.
Over a hundred Primary Immortals remained here, forming arrays to protect the disciples from various peaks, preventing them from being injured by battle aftershocks.
These protected disciples, ready for strategic retreat at any moment, couldn’t help much now and could only look up at the sky outside the formation…
Their spirit consciousness couldn’t probe too far at this moment, but they still couldn’t help but tremble in their hearts.
Those who usually read more books kept spouting beautiful descriptions, such as:
“Look at this battle, it truly is—
Dragons seizing and phoenixes grasping, fierce winds and sudden rain, terrifying waves and shocking billows, extraordinary divine abilities!
In an instant the earth shakes and mountains tremble, suddenly treasure light splashes in all directions!
The mighty Golden Immortal pressure frightens our spirits!”
Several people beside them nodded in agreement, repeatedly saying “excellent, excellent,” catching the last bus of primordial cultural literacy.
Then some usually focused solely on cultivation, doing little ‘extracurricular reading’ beyond scriptures, mostly just saying…
“Amazing!”
“Yes, truly amazing.”
“When can we become this amazing!”
Among the disciples, there was no lack of passionate ones who had already prepared to share the sect’s fate.
News about the ley line transportation formation quickly spread through the crowd, causing many disciples to relax slightly.
Each had their thoughts, all within reason.
But the situation around the protective mountain formation grew increasingly urgent.
To the southwest and northwest, several hundred black shadows frantically bombarded the light wall of the protective mountain formation.
In response, the sect’s True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals were gathering power, preparing to unleash it!
After the protective mountain formation was fully activated, it became like an airtight turtle shell—outsiders couldn’t attack for the moment, and those inside couldn’t use divine abilities or throw magic treasures outward.
Judging by these black shadows’ assault, the protective mountain formation wouldn’t hold much longer.
These black shadows were all puppets controlled by blood mosquitoes. Although their minds weren’t sharp while traveling, mostly not thinking and only following pre-given orders,
When fighting, they showed much better coordination than the Degree Immortal Gate immortals…
Fortunately, the poison formations Li Changshou had arranged had consumed about twenty percent of these mosquito puppets’ total fighting strength.
Now, relying on the protective mountain formation, using ley line and spirit stone power to consume these puppets’ immortal power, demon power, and spirit power.
In the upcoming great battle, although Degree Immortal Gate was still at a disadvantage, the disadvantage wasn’t too severe.
…
Before the Hundred Mortal Hall, You Qin Xuan Ya, after another busy period, stood resting at the flying eaves of the hall’s top, her gaze sweeping over various places below.
‘Why isn’t Senior Brother Changshou here?’
You Qin Xuan Ya’s heart jumped, and she searched carefully again.
She quickly confirmed that neither Li Changshou nor Lan Ling E was inside or outside the Hundred Mortal Hall.
You Qin Xuan Ya immediately looked toward Small Jade Peak’s direction, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, about to rush to Small Jade Peak to bring Li Changshou and Ling E here.
But just as You Qin Xuan Ya circulated magical power preparing to fly, suddenly a thread of transmitted voice entered her ear…
“Sister You Qin, Ling E and I cannot appear at this time;
Later, if the protective mountain formation is broken, we will meet at the underground formation.”
Hearing these words, You Qin Xuan Ya’s heart relaxed.
Although she didn’t know why Senior Brother Changshou and Sister Ling E needed to hide in the crowd, since Senior Brother Changshou said so, she needn’t worry too much…
At the same time, in a narrow and dark corner, Li Changshou also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing he had prepared against this poison in advance!
Having ‘resolved’ this hidden danger, Li Changshou continued observing, ready to transmit voice warnings later if Jiu Yu and Jiu Wu also wanted to come ‘visit’…
This was also a drawback of having too many ‘friends.’
Three thousand miles to the southwest and northwest, two paper avatars controlling poison formations had completed their entire mission, successfully returning to their small boxes.
Li Changshou could also rest temporarily.
The current situation was actually ‘simpler’ than Li Changshou’s previous assumptions.
The opponent only had three Golden Immortal experts, without any beyond-syllabus existences like Great Void Immortals.
Moreover, the Degree Immortal Gate immortals weren’t single-minded;
Looking at the formation arrangement of the Degree Immortal Gate immortals, they were clearly planning to fight while retreating later.
Several Supreme Elders’ lips kept moving, presumably transmitting voices to various places, discussing how to fight the enemy later.
This made Li Changshou much more reassured.
‘Heaven Eight’ paper person maintained Old Master Qi Yuan’s form, sitting in the rocking chair before the medicine room.
Li Changshou used this paper avatar to watch the Golden Immortals battle and observe the formation’s fluctuations;
In his heart, he carefully calculated the positions for controlling paper avatars to act next, waiting for the moment when the protective mountain formation would shatter to begin his formal battle plan…
‘With Formless Supreme Being protecting Little Master Uncle and Master Uncle Jiu Wu, I needn’t worry too much.’
Li Changshou’s immortal consciousness glanced toward the southwest direction, identifying Master Uncle Jiu Yu’s traces at a glance based on his experience.
The Nine Wine Immortals stood in a row, each holding magic treasures, circulating divine abilities, standing behind their master Formless Supreme Being.
Among the nine, that graceful Big Senior Sister Jiu Yiyi was the most eye-catching;
This immortal maiden’s face was frost-like, with three or four treasures floating around her, her cultivation realm actually at early-stage Heavenly Immortal.
Beside Formless Supreme Being were the figures of two Supreme Elders, standing with twelve Heavenly Immortal elders at the forefront of the southwest formation.
When the sect was attacked, those with higher cultivation stepped forward first—this was Degree Immortal Gate’s rule.
Formless Supreme Being thought of something, turned to look at his little disciple, and said: “Little Nine?”
Hugging a large gourd, eyes somewhat uneasy, occasionally glancing toward Small Jade Peak, Jiu Yu quickly responded:
“Master, Little Nine is here!”
“Mm,” the corner of Formless Supreme Being’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Little Nine’s cultivation was quite good now.
Formless Supreme Being changed his words: “Later if a chaotic battle breaks out, remember to help each other, and take extra care of Little Five, his old injury hasn’t fully recovered.”
Jiu Wu showed an ashamed expression, while the other eight siblings lowered their heads in agreement.
But then, Jiu Wu recalled his earlier visit to Elder Wan Lin Jun, when Elder Wan Lin Jun had intimidated…
Ahem, when Elder Wan Lin Jun had repeatedly instructed him.
‘If enemies break through the protective mountain formation, immediately retreat to Breaking Sky Peak, don’t forcefully fight enemies, open this silk bag!’
That silk bag was in Jiu Wu’s sleeve, never leaving his person for a moment.
When Elder Wan Lin Jun said these things, he looked ‘fierce and evil,’ frightening him and Jiu Shi so much they couldn’t recover for days.
Jiu Wu thought for a moment, stepped forward behind Formless Supreme Being, and reported Elder Wan Lin Jun’s previous instructions.
The formless Supreme Being didn’t ask much, letting Jiu Wu do as Elder Wan Lin Jun said.
Jiu Wu returned to his position, looked up outside the formation, watching those figures bombarding the protective mountain formation in unison, gripped his sword tightly, along with…
Several bottles of ‘Wan brand’ poison pills he had processed, which could be instantly dispersed.
Jiu Wu thought: ‘Nephew Changshou should have gone to Breaking Sky Peak by now.’
His immortal consciousness swept over the front of the Hundred Mortal Hall at Breaking Sky Peak, and Jiu Wu first frowned;
Searching carefully again, this short Daoist was startled.
Li Changshou and Lan Ling E weren’t at the Hundred Mortal Hall, or even anywhere on Breaking Sky Peak!
Jiu Wu immediately thought of something, his heart growing anxious…
After thinking it through, he remained worried about Li Changshou and Lan Ling E’s safety.
Stepping forward again, Jiu Wu said to his master’s back:
“Master, disciple wants to go to Small Jade Peak first, to bring Nephew Changshou and Niece Ling E to the Hundred Mortal Hall.
Nephew Changshou often has a passionate nature, disciple worries he might try to harm enemies and assist in battle using his arranged formations!”
Formless Supreme Being nodded: “Good.”
Beside them, Jiu Yu seemed to want to speak but held back, just pursed her lips, and continued staying there, standing shoulder to shoulder with her siblings for battle.
—Just bringing Li Changshou and Ling E to the Hundred Mortal Hall, Fifth Senior Brother alone could handle it.
Jiu Wu glanced at the still-holding protective mountain formation, hurriedly left the formation array, and rushed toward Small Jade Peak.
‘As expected…’
Catching this scene in the darkness, Li Changshou sighed inwardly, immediately preparing to transmit his voice to Jiu Wu.
Just then!
Golden light flashed in the high sky, and a long sword carrying slight merit power cut open a path through the clouds, dragging out thousand-zhang sword light, with the unstoppable momentum of thunder-splitting mountains, striking directly at the top of the protective mountain formation!
One of the enemy Golden Immortals had freed up to suddenly attack the protective mountain formation!
As this sword struck down, the protective mountain formation’s light wall violently shook. The Degree Immortal Gate Sect Master shouted, firmly holding back two enemy Golden Immortals again…
Taking advantage of the protective mountain formation’s instability, countless streams of light simultaneously erupted outside the formation to the southwest and northwest!
The tacit coordination of the ‘mosquito puppets’ was displayed perfectly at this moment!
The flickering of the formation light wall suddenly paused, then shattered in the next instant, streams of primordial energy sweeping in all directions like a tsunami!
A Degree Immortal Gate Supreme Elder raised a flashing treasure pagoda, roaring angrily: “Attack!”
In an instant, countless streams of light erupted from the southwest and northwest, divine abilities and magic treasures unleashing their power together!
In the northwest direction, poison hands pressed down covering heaven and earth, Elder Wan Lin Jun’s robes fluttering, hair and beard standing up, appearing majestic and awe-inspiring.
But seven or eight Heavenly Immortal great demons were prepared for this, each raising magic treasures, working together to resist this Poison Immortal!
The remaining immortals on both sides only dared to bombard each other with magic treasures and divine abilities from afar, not daring to step into the rapidly spreading sickly green poison mist.
In the southwest direction, dozens of Heavenly Immortals charged forward to fight at close range, countless streams of light constantly colliding, figures already falling from the clouds…
Seeing this, Jiu Wu immediately turned to provide support;
But just as he turned his head, he heard a transmitted voice by his ear:
“Open the silk bag, don’t worry about other matters.
You alone cannot turn the tide of battle!”
Elder Wan!
Jiu Wu was startled, took out the silk bag from his sleeve, looked at its contents, and suddenly realized.
This…
How had he not thought of this before?
Glancing at the intense battle, this short Daoist gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and turned to hurry toward Breaking Sky Peak!
The one who just transmitted voice to Jiu Wu was naturally Li Changshou hiding in the darkness, just imitating Elder Wan’s voice and manner of speaking.
Elder Wan was currently engaged in a fierce battle northwest of the mountain gate, so how could he attend to Jiu Wu’s situation?
Next…
‘Let’s see how you cry, Uncle Master.’
Li Changshou shifted his consciousness, beginning to multitask again.
South and north of Degree Immortal Gate, several hundred miles away in two dense forests, four wooden boxes were simultaneously pushed open by paper people’s small hands;
Paper avatars covered in cloth packages, shockingly thick, jumped out from the boxes, their forms swaying, rapidly growing larger, transforming into four Daoists, two men and two women.
‘Close the gate, release the dogs!’
Eh, cursing oneself is fine, but it should be ‘close the gate and beat the dogs!’
Two figures in each direction, north and south, used the earth movement technique, feeling their way toward the two areas of intense battle at Degree Immortal Gate’s mountain gate…
