Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 262 - Reasons



Chapter 262 – Reasons

Of course Yang Junshan didn’t do it on purpose. Even himself was starting to feel that it was inconceivable that he could still endure for so long under the circumstances of him commanding the magnetic light Formation to trap forty Martial Realm Cultivatoll of a sudden.

The collapse of the formation was due to him reaching his limits in controlling the formation. He did not want his dantian to be damaged because he could maintain the formation for as long as possible.

As for Xiong Xiliang being killed by Zheng Qingyuan’s counterattack right before his death, that was truly an accident. Furthermore, Yang Junshan had only noticed that there waeavily injured cultivator of the late stage of martial arts realm when the formation collapsed.

To Yang Junshan, killing a cultivator in the late stage of the martial arts realm was a challenge that required him to be at least two levels higher than him. However, according to the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s rules of contribution, killing a cultivator at the late stage of the martial arts realm, the results of killing a cultivator at the first and second stages were the same.

There were also a few cultivators from the Heaven-Shaken Sect who happened to be surrounded when the formation was collapsing. Even though they had chosen to escape at the first possible moment and the cultivators of the Sirius Gate and Opening Spirit School who were trapped in the chaos did not choose to kill them immediately, they still caused the deaths of the four cultivators from the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Adding the three who had fallen earlier and the heavily injured people, the Heaven-Shaken Sect had basically crippled a small team.

Although it looked like Yang Junshan’s array had caused more cultivators to perish on their side than before, when the cultivators of Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side gathered towards the three groups, they realized that the Heavenly Wolves and the Opening Spirit School cultivators did not attack them.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief in surprise. When they turned around to look, they realized that the cultivators from the two sects were also gathering. As for their numbers … It did not seem to be much more than his side!

At this time, the crowd had all focused their shocked gazes on the panting youth standing beside Liu Zhifei. Even though the formation he arranged was quickly broken, in a short period of time, there were at least fifteen people who took the opportunity to attack and kill him.

If this was not enough to shock everyone, then looking at the four late stage martial arts realm late stage cultivators who were standing in front of the two sects’ cultivators with ashen faces, and seeing that one of them was covering his bloodied stomach, it was clear that he was heavily injured. It could be seen just how grim the current situation was.

Four Martial Realm Cultivator s? Not bad, of the original six, only four remained.

The Heaven-Shaken Sect was also one less than the opponent now, but compared to before, the Heavenly Wolf and Spirit Opening Sects did not have an absolute advantage anymore.

They had roughly understood the situation in the array previously. Under the sneak attack and siege from the three, they were only able to kill one of the enemy’s cultivator of the same cultivation level, and even injured one of them seriously. But now, the enemy was missing one, who killed the other Zheng Qingyuan?

Even though the formation crumbled so quickly, causing them to lose the chance to further expand their battle capabilities, and even caused a few cultivators of their side to be surrounded and killed when the formation crumbled, compared to the effects of the magnetic light Formation, these were already insignificant.

Even though he had used up more than half of his spiritual power, he was still full of energy. He laughed loudly and said, “Awesome! Awesome!”

Sky Wolf and Opening Spirit School’s groups had invested a total of six teams of sixty Martial Realm Cultivator s, but had lost half of their troops under the sniping attack of their own team’s three teams, while their side only had a third of the enemy’s casualties. No matter the circumstances, this could be considered a glorious victory.

Ji Chenglin heavily breathed and suppressed the anger in his eyes as he said, “Don’t be happy too early. Although the other party has been heavily injured, their strength is still above ours. We don’t have any formation to rely on anymore!”

Liu Zhifei said confidently: “It’s fine, at this point in time, they will definitely not attack again. Now that the momentum is with us, even if they want to attack again, after defeating us, how many people will we have left? How are we going to go to rescue the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold?”

Liu Zhifei’s voice was very loud. Not only could the surrounding cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect have heard it loud and clear, even the cultivators of the Sky Wolf and Spirit Opening Sects who were more than ten meters away could hear it clearly. The momentum of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side grew even stronger, while the other side’s remaining thirty or so cultivators stirred up.

However, although Liu Zhifei said that he was extremely confident, he secretly sent a sound transmission to the few cultivators around him, warning them not to be careless, which naturally included Yang Junshan.

However, at this time, Yang Junshan made a sound of “eh”. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in astonishment, he pointed helplessly and said: “My fellow senior brothers, the spirit energy in the direction of the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold seems to have stopped ….”

Previously, everyone was still immersed in the battle of life and death, but they did not notice that the sky which had been dyed multicolored five kilometers away from the entrance of Sunset Ridge earlier was gradually becoming clear, and the deafening rumbling and intense spirit energy turmoil had stopped unknowingly.

The battle at the foothold had ended!

Both sides were stunned. Victory or defeat?

This thought flashed in both their minds for a split-second, followed by a chorus of cheers from the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side, while the Heavenly Wolf and the Spirit Opening Cultivators all looked as if they were being disheartened.

No one doubted that the stronghold could still hold on under the siege of the six squads from Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side. Since the direction of the stronghold was silent, there could only be one reason. When they were ambushed by the three squads from Heaven-Shaken Sect, the stronghold of Opening Spirit School at the border of the three counties had already been pulled out!

At the same time, in order to prevent the Heaven-Shaken Sect from being hunted down by the Ouroboros Clan, they had left a group of cultivators with two late stage cultivators to lead the group to the back. Since the stronghold had already been uprooted, it was useless for them to send reinforcements, and if they did not retreat now, it was even possible that they would be eaten by the enemy cultivators that surrounded the stronghold.

“Do you still want to chase?” “What are you guys doing?” Ye Tianlei asked.

“You still have the strength to chase?” Liu Zhifei asked, amused.

“Actually, we are also at the end of our tether!” Ji Chenglin smacked his lips and said.

“Even if it’s just falling behind his back, it’s still fine!” he said, clearly unwilling to give up.

“Are you sure that no reinforcements are coming?” Liu Zhifei glanced at him and continued to ask: “Are you sure that the people surrounding and attacking the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold will rush over to help?”

“They will come, but in any case, they will still come to see us. Even if it was just a joke, they still can’t do it in time. Ji Chenglin has already taken care of the stronghold, so no matter how heavy the damage or spiritual power consumption is, he can just cover it up!”

At this time, a realization hit him, but he still said with a smile, “But we still let some people down. Not only did we make it through this battle, but it was done beautifully. I’m sure those with ulterior motives will not be able to question Brother Liu’s qualification as the successor.”

Liu Zhifei snorted, a condescending smile hung on his lips, but he still turned around and said: “But this time it’s all thanks to Xiao Yang, if not for his array, we would not have lasted until now!”

Yang Junshan spoke humbly, but in his heart he was laughing bitterly, obviously he had inadvertently gotten himself involved in the conflict between the inner sect disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the conversation between the three people just now did not avoid Yang Junshan, it was obvious that they were speaking of the reason for him to hear, and the reason was very simple, even in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, an array master’s inheritance was very weak, a ready-made and promising array master was clearly worth it for them to win over!

Ji Chenglin had already called a few people to collect the spoils of war, while Scholar Li Ben and a group of cultivators had already gathered around the stage, leaving only Liu Zhifei and Yang Junshan behind.

knew what Liu Zhifei was going to say, it was merely a few words to win him over and explain himself. Rather than that, he might as well ask: “There’s one thing that I don’t understand, this battle can probably be considered a big deal at the border. Six small teams attacking together with three small teams sniping around, the border is probably in a mess as well. If we are to talk about the victories, I’m afraid that the number of people that our three squads have killed at Sunset Ridge Pass is more than the two squads, right? ”

Liu Zhifei was stunned for a moment at first. He did not expect Yang Junshan to ask the first question, nor did he immediately ask them why they were plotting against him. Instead, he directly asked them the purpose of this operation.

Liu Zhifei was extremely serious as he pondered for a moment, then said slowly: “Little Yang, I believe you understand, this was originally someone else who dug this pit for us, but who would have thought that you would be able to so easily break it with your array? Originally, we did not have the heart to pull everyone in, but since things have already come to this point, you will regret that those people who did not take action against us will all vent their anger on you, so …”

“So, I can only accept my mistake and stand on your side, right?” Yang Junshan ridiculed.

Liu Zhifei’s expression was slightly awkward, but he still said seriously: “To be honest, I know about your relationship with Junior Master Chen Ji, so you should understand that Junior Master Chen is on my side. The reason why you were assigned to the third team is also because of Senior Brother Song Wei.

Yang Junshan waved his hand and said helplessly: “Tell me about the stronghold!”

Liu Zhifei “Hehe” laughed, then said: “Actually it’s not a big deal. The reason the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold was surrounded and attacked was to open up the territory of the entire Huyao County, and extend the territory of the Heaven-Shaken Sect to the south. Because, under the ground of the Tuo Wu Shan’s and the Sunset Ridge’s regions, there is an extremely high possibility of hiding a mine that has many different types of spirit mines.
