Chapter 223: Chapter 189: Siege (Added Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The Five Elements Sect’s mountain gate is situated at Five-finger Peak.

Five-finger Peak is aptly named, resembling a hand with its five fingers spread towards the sky, each finger a different mountain peak.

Because of its peculiar terrain, it not only nurtured a third-rank Spirit Vein but also possessed a ’Five Elements Evil Point’ at the palm’s center, making it the chosen location for the Five Elements Sect’s mountain gate by the First Generation Ancestor.

At that time, to seize this Spirit Vein, they had forcibly demolished mountains and temples, exterminating several Daoist lineages that originally occupied Five-finger Peak.

Today’s Five-finger Peak was exceptionally solemn, with different colored beams of light soaring into the sky above the five peaks.

White, Red, Black, Yellow, Green...

The gathering of five colors was like a grand canopy, firmly shielding the entire Five-finger Peak within.

...

Several miles high in the sky, five majestic Spiritual Ships stood.

At the very front of the deck, three figures stood vaguely.

"Tsk tsk... This Five-finger Peak truly lives up to its reputation... Its landscape is particularly suitable for setting up a Five Elements Formation."

Fang Xing sighed upon seeing the colorful array.

"Reporting to Sword Child, this is the Five Elements Sect’s fundamental grand formation— the ’Five Elements Returning Origin Array’, ranked as a third-rank top-grade, the power of the Five Elements endlessly circulating. Unless the array is broken in one attack surpassing its limit, it will slowly repair itself afterward, proving extremely difficult to deal with."

Wu Xuan, the old Daoist, stated in an ingratiating manner.

"So formidable... It’s a pity we didn’t bring a third-rank Array Master this time. It looks like we will have to rely on brute force to break the formation, huh?"

Fang Xing felt somewhat lamentful.

Old Daoist Wu Xuan and Real Person Lv Yi exchanged glances, both somewhat unclear on what Fang Xing was scheming.

They had come straight for the Five Elements Sect, and along the way, they didn’t even have time to conveniently wipe out several second-rank market towns and Foundation Establishment families.

If they got delayed here for too long and their retreat was cut off, it would be exceedingly dangerous!

"It doesn’t matter much if we don’t have an Array Master... As long as we have several third-rank Prohibition-breaking Talismans or third-rank Earth Vein Pearls, we can temporarily weaken a number of layers of the array’s power, causing flaws to appear... At that time, if we join forces, perhaps we can breach the array."

Real Person Lv Yi said tentatively.

"No need! Real Person Lv Yi, you lead five hundred cultivators to form the Five Elements Sword Formation and thoroughly test the array."

Fang Xing flicked his fingers, "Wu Xuan, you take the rest of the cultivators to set up camp... Await orders!"

"Yes!"

The two great cultivators obeyed the order solemnly; Real Person Lv Yi immediately led five hundred cultivators out.

"Five Elements Sword Formation, rise!"

Five hundred cultivators cooperated with one heart, streams of Five Elements magical power converging from the formation through the Array Flags, continuously pouring into the hands of Real Person Lv Yi, who acted as the Array Master, transforming into a multicolored long sword.

With a sword in hand!

Real Person Lv Yi’s mana immediately elevated from the Fake Core level to the threshold of Core Formation.

"Go!"

Knowing this battle was mainly for probing, she formed a seal with one hand, and a verdant little flower magic treasure settled above her head, blooming with a layer of jade-like light, firmly protecting herself.

Then, she slashed with her sword!

The multicolored long sword instantly grew immensely large, tens of zhang in length, piercing into the Five Elements Returning Origin Array.

The grand formation stirred a wave, the power of the Five Elements constantly circulating, ceaselessly neutralizing this third-rank attack.

Within the grand formation, a young man wearing white clothes and donning a Five-Colored Lotus Crown appeared.

His cultivation was shockingly at the early stage of Core Formation, namely ’Fire Remainder, the Real Person’. He shouted, "Our Five Elements Sect has always been neutral... Don’t fall for the sinister ploys!"

"If it’s a misunderstanding, then why not open the formation... and let us in?"

Real Person Lv Yi smiled lightly and then increased her mana again.

Streams of Five Elements Sword Qi fell into the grand formation, like multicolored Flood Dragons, stirring waves within.

"It seems like it’s not going to work..."

Fang Xing looked at the Core Formation early-stage cultivator, noticing that the other party had no intention of coming out to fight, and couldn’t help but shake his head slightly in disappointment.

Old Daoist Wu Xuan, who was beside him directing the construction of the temporary camp, heard this and was especially speechless inside.

This Sword Child’s exploits were already widely known throughout the Five Sects and Ten Countries; they said he possessed third-rank battle strength, and ordinary Fake Core Real People were no match for his single sword slash, not to mention Core Formation cultivators who died by his hand.

The old ancestor of the Five Elements Sect was also at the early stage of Core Formation, so how could he dare to leave the mountain gate to fight?

"There should be only two Jiedan cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, one is the Five Elements old ancestor at the Core Formation middle stage and the other is this person, at the early stage of Core Formation. If they dare to leave the mountain gate, I dare to cut them down with one sword... But alas, alas..."

Fang Xing shook his head repeatedly and said to Wu Xuan, "Since that’s the case, you take the five spiritual ships to support Lv Yi."

"Yes!"

Wu Xuan, the old Daoist, swiftly went down to pass the order, and it didn’t take long for the five spiritual ships to rise into the sky, bombarding the Five Elements Peak’s grand formation wildly.

Such a stalemate would continuously consume the grand formation’s foundation and the spiritual vein energy.

When it could no longer recover, the real moment to break the formation would come!

However, this period often takes a very long time.

While the Daoist Wu Xuan ordered his disciples to assist in the assault, he secretly transmitted his Divine Sense to Real Person Lv Yi, "What is the Sword Child’s intent with this? Surely he doesn’t consider us expendable?"

After all, of the more than a thousand cultivators, fewer than twenty truly belonged to the Heavenly Sword Sect; the majority were cultivators from Zheng Country!

"It should not be so..."

Real Person Lv Yi quietly clenched her teeth.

This time her Qingxuan Sect had the most people, and if they capsized here, the loss would be absolutely devastating.

At this thought, she exchanged glances with Daoist Wu Xuan. They only commanded their disciples to go forward to exhaust the grand formation and did not delve deeply.

In this kind of attrition war, where they only bombarded the grand formation with spells, the Five Elements Sect could hold out for at least several years!

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing did not urge them into battle or order them to exert their full strength.
