Chapter 1334: Chapter 504: Spending a Fortune to Buy a Horse’s Bone, Slaying the Dragon and Proceeding to Golden Light_3
So it had come to this: when and how to fight were decisions that would now be made by the Immortal Cultivators.
But the Demon Clan, on the other hand, had not come away without gains.
Under the personal leadership of Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao, Luo Yun Sect, the main force guiding the united Cultivators’ army, had been severely damaged!
That night, Luo Yun Sect had lost a total of seven Golden Core Cultivators!
This included the Sect Leader Ruan Jing, Qu Xibai, Cheng Ru, and several other renowned powerhouses of Luo Yun Sect.
In one battle, the high-end combat power of Luo Yun Sect had nearly been wiped out.
And among the Lower Order Cultivators, Luo Yun Sect had likewise suffered heavy losses.
Of the thirteen Luo Yun chosen fifty years prior, aside from three who had undergone Core Formation and were assigned to the rear, of the remaining ten, a full eight had perished.
Only Han Zheng and another Luo Yun Sect True Disciple on the ninth level of Foundation Establishment had survived.
As for the rest of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, countless were dead or injured.
Strategically speaking, the united army of Cultivators had won a great victory, but from a local battlefield perspective, Luo Yun Sect, the main force initiating the war, had been heavily struck, washing away the joy brought by the great victory.
Everyone knew that the most important goal of this war was to capture the Xiao Yue Mountain Range and allow Luo Yun Sect, the newly rising Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, to obtain a Fourth Order Spirit Land and thus live up to its name.
Now that Luo Yun Sect was wounded, the subsequent war efforts would possibly be indefinitely postponed.
After all, Luo Yun Sect could not possibly go into the final battle in a crippled state.
Let alone whether they could win.
Even if they won, besides True Master Han Zhan, Luo Yun Sect would have but two or three cats left, so where would they find enough hands to control the entire Great Territory?
At that time, the benefits of the Xiao Yue Mountain Range would be divided up by various Golden Core Sects, and the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects from foreign lands would intensify their encroachment on the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.
Could Luo Yun Sect possibly be the kind to make a wedding dress for someone else?
It was because of all these considerations that the various forces realized that a prolonged period of peace might be coming next.
They had to wait for Luo Yun Sect to lick its wounds before engaging in that decisive battle.
"Perhaps, this was the true purpose behind Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao’s direct assault," someone speculated.
In a Cave Mansion, several Golden Core Ascendant Masters whose names were well-known in the Outer World were quietly discussing among themselves.
The participants included Wei Wuya from Mo Tian Cliff, who was in the late Golden Core Stage, as well as the beautifully elegant Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Hundred Flowers Fairy.
In addition, the cold Jueqing Fairy and the recently famous Lin Qingxuan of Yu Ding Sword Sect were also present.
"By sacrificing Extreme Emperor Mountain and severely damaging Luo Yun Sect, they slowed the pace of war and bought more time for Ao Xiao Wolf Court to garner more support from strong Demon Clan warriors from Savage Mountain. Such a strategy of sacrificing pawns to save the king is hardly something one would expect from those who used to drink blood and chew hair."
"Friend, you are mistaken. Once Demon Beasts transform, they are actually no different from us. The appraisal of drinking blood and chewing hair? Inappropriate, inappropriate!"
"There is no use arguing over such trivial semantics. I merely want to know, how much longer will the Xiao Yue war last?"
"Impatient, are we, Hundred Flowers Friend?"
"I have waited through fifty years of preparation, and nearly a decade more; I don’t mind waiting a little longer. But who knows how long this ’little longer’ will be? Are we supposed to wait for Luo Yun Sect to fill the gap left by seven Golden Core Cultivators?"
Upon this remark, the Cave Mansion fell silent.
Golden Core Cultivators were not so easy to cultivate.
Over many years, Luo Yun Sect had only accumulated a dozen or so.
Especially after that one battle where they had lost a batch of outstanding Foundation Establishment True Disciples.
Without enough saplings, even if they exhausted all the resources of the Sect, it would be impossible to quickly produce Golden Core Cultivators.
Lin Qingxuan, seemingly unconcerned, remarked, "As for how long Luo Yun Sect wants to wait, I’m indifferent. It’s just that the swords in my hands are not yet honed to their sharpest, and I could use a few more battles to suit my liking!"
The others exchanged silent glances.
Lin Qingxuan seemed gentle enough on an average day, but deep down, he was a battle fanatic.
He was always at the forefront of every battle.
When the Flying Sword was unsheathed, it had to taste blood before it returned.
While others grew weaker with every battle, he, on the contrary, became stronger with each fight, his Cultivation Level advancing a thousand miles each day.
It could only be said that while the Yu Ding Sword Sect was somewhat unimpressive among the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, after hundreds of years of development, it had indeed cultivated some promising talents.
By the end of the battle, Lin Qingxuan had digested the gains from the fight, and it seemed the Yu Ding Sword Sect would again produce a top expert in the Golden Core Period.
In a corner, a masked Daoist suddenly said,
"In my view, we might not have to wait too long."
Everyone was startled.
Wei Wuya frowned and said, "Baishun Dao Cultivator, your Huanzhu House has incredibly strong intelligence. Might you have learned something that we are not aware of?"
Baishun Dao Cultivator spoke in a low voice, "There hasn’t been much movement from the Luo Yun Sect at our base camp; it looks like they want to keep a low profile and recover their Yuan Qi. However, as far as I know, the disciples and sect members who stayed behind in the Moon-Breaking Immortal City and even in the old sites of the Luo Yun Sect in the Yu Ding Realm are all heading this way."
At these words, everyone couldn’t help but exchange looks.
If they wanted to recuperate, why bother summoning people from the rear? They should be gathering resources back there to supply the front line!
But if they intended to gather all their forces for war, did the Luo Yun Sect truly have the resolve to do so?
The crowd couldn’t help but start discussing.
But after talking for a long time, they couldn’t reach a conclusion.
Seeing this, the Jueqing Fairy grew impatient with listening any further.
"I’m going to see how Dan Chenzi’s injuries are recovering; you all continue!" she said.
Having said this, she left the cave mansion directly.
The rest were not too surprised.
The relationship between Dan Chenzi and the Ice Castle was known to all.
Especially now, with the Ice Castle greatly weakened, Dan Chenzi had revealed notable Golden Core Combat Power beyond his accomplishments in the Dao of Alchemy.
It was only natural for Jueqing Fairy to be closely concerned about him.
Only the Baishun Dao Cultivator in the corner twitched the corners of his mouth beneath his mask.
...
In a Third-Order Lower Grade Cave Mansion arranged by the Sword Hall.
The naked Luo Chen, his body pitch black, only occasionally revealing his white, neat teeth whenever he opened and closed his mouth.
Suddenly, Luo Chen opened his eyes.
Opening his mouth, wisps of golden light were spat out from it.
This bizarre sight would undoubtedly startle others.
But Luo Chen was quite dissatisfied.
"Though Dissolving Spirit Liquid is effective, it’s too slow," he said.
"It seems that to quickly get rid of the strong Demon Qi left by the Golden Wolf King, I’ll have to rely on myself!"
With a thought, his hands began to slowly form seals.
He started somewhat awkwardly, but slowly, he started to get the hang of it.
Suddenly,
Luo Chen’s fingers paused, and he sliced diagonally into the void.
Clang!
It was as if the sound of metal striking metal rang out in the void.
In reality, it was an explosion of sound from within his body.
After the odd sound, Luo Chen opened his mouth to exhale.
Another burst of golden Demon Qi was expelled.
"Indeed, the Slaying Dragon Technique is incredibly effective against such foreign objects. It is truly worthy of being a Fourth Order Technique developed by the Five Elements Divine Sect!" Luo Chen pursed his lips, his eyes shining brightly.
Binding the golden Demon Qi with Withering and Flourishing Fire Bundle, then dissolving it with Dissolving Spirit Liquid, and finally slicing it little by little with the Slaying Dragon Technique.
With these three methods combined, within a month at most, perhaps he could get rid of this major internal problem!
