Chapter 224: Chapter 189: Siege (Added Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2

His strategy was simple, it was "encircle and relieve."

In theory, since they were deep in enemy territory, it was best to exert all efforts, quickly take down the Five Elements Sect, and then use the Mountain Gate of the Five Elements Sect as a foundation to establish a grand array.

Among the materials handed down by the Heavenly Sword Sect this time, there was a set of Third-Rank Array Flags and Array Plate. Relying on the Third-Rank Spirit Vein, they could set up an ultra-large array which, even if attacked by Core Formation Cultivators, could barely hold on.

Instead of hesitating as they were doing now.

However, Fang Xing could safely implement "encircle and relieve" because of his own strong abilities.

If it was someone with slightly less power, they would surely be annihilated by the alliance, becoming an infamous fool in the Cultivation World!

One hour later...

Fang Xing yawned, looking at the five battleships still bombarding endlessly along with the battle formation, "That’s enough, come back..."

This kind of attack, where both sides hid within their arrays, even after fighting for more than half an hour, not a single Qi Cultivation disciple was injured!

After Fang Xing gave the order, those cultivators immediately returned, each falling into the camp, taking out Spirit Stones to sit and meditate, drawing the Spiritual Energy within to recover their mana.

—Without the Spirit Vein outside, it was difficult to quickly recover mana; they could only draw from the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Stones. Although somewhat wasteful, there was no other choice.

Otherwise, if they depleted most of their energy in a dangerous place and then encountered danger, they would regret it immensely.

...

Inside the Five-finger Peak, atop the "middle finger."

Seeing this scene, the Core Formation Early Stage cultivator wearing the Five-Colored Lotus Crown also sighed, "Return, everyone, to your posts... Double the patrols of disciples every day, and be extremely cautious."

After giving his instructions, Zhenren Huoyu returned to his Cave Mansion, suddenly formed a Seal Technique, and muttered under his breath.

Bang!

Suddenly, a colorful rune appeared on the straw cushion that was empty just moments before.

The light screen immediately cracked open a big hole and then disappeared.

A rough-looking old man with a thick beard and hair flaring like a white-maned lion was seated cross-legged on the straw cushion.

"Brother!"

Zhenren Huoyu bowed, his face showing a hint of a smile.

This seated elder was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Sect — Master Elder of the Five Elements!

However, it was unclear how he, reportedly having earlier gone to assist the Mu Sha Sect, had covertly returned to the sect.

"Hehe... Which detachment arrived today?"

The voice of the Five Elements Ancestor thundered, "The ’Human-like Puppet Mask’ provided by the Wanxiang Sect is indeed useful, perfectly mimicking my Divine Soul and Mana Qi... This time, the Heavenly Sword Sect must suffer a great loss, who is the enemy leader?"

Speaking of this, Zhenren Huoyu’s tone became a bit odd, "The two leading the troops today are a Fake Core from the Qingxuan Sect and the Director from the Black Sky Temple..."

This lineup looked like a random sacrificial army.

"Only the chief commander is the recently famous True Inheritor of the Heavenly Sword Sect in Zheng Country — Fang Xing! If Brother and I join forces, we should easily kill him."

Zhenren Huoyu still held Fang Xing in high regard.

Yet Fang Xing’s record was terrifyingly impressive, almost unbelievably so.

He believed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, by leveraging certain methods, could compare or even kill a Fake Core.

But to say killing a ghost of the Early Core Formation?

He suspected it might be Fu Hongyi’s covert actions.

However, even if Fang Xing was truly as formidable as the rumors, if he and his brother took action together, a mere Foundation builder would stand no chance!

The Five Elements Ancestor glared at his junior brother, "The ghost also thought this way once, and then he died! Not only did he perish completely, but his sect’s legacy was also destroyed, utterly defeated and ridiculed by everyone!"

The head-adorned Five-Colored Lotus Crown Zhenren Huoyu suddenly became solemn, "Brother... I was wrong."

"No, you are not admitting your mistake, you are only afraid of me..."

The Five Elements Ancestor shook his head; his junior was a genius in the sect, having grown too smoothly.

This kind of temperament might be described nicely as unstoppable, but he often fell hard when faced with setbacks.

"The depth of a Nascent Soul Sect is not something we, as Core Formation powers, can imagine. Even if we kill that true inheritor of the Heavenly Sword Sect and then attract the attention of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s army, wouldn’t we just end up shielding the Blood River Palace and the Mu Sha Sect from disaster?"

The Five Elements Ancestor shook his head.

"What does Brother plan to do?"

"Of course... invite another person. There happens to be a Core Formation colleague nearby from the Wanxiang Sect... He was originally a True Disciple, with a status no different from a Sword Child, yet he truly advanced to Core Formation..."

The Five Elements Ancestor continued, "When the time comes, invite this person, and we three great Core Formation cultivators must strike together with the force of mountains crushing eggs, utterly defeat this army..."

"Who is the True Disciple of the Wanxiang Sect?" Zhenren Huoyu was curious.

"Thunder Department — Lei Jingmeng!"

The Five Elements Ancestor took out a mirror and a wave of mana struck it.

The mirror blurred for a moment, then revealed the image of a young man dressed in a thunder robe.

"Five Elements Ancestor? What... there’s a problem with the ’Returning Qi Pill’ I sent?"

Lei Jingmeng had a majestic appearance, with a purple scar on his brow, resembling a branched thunderbolt, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Hearing this, Zhenren Huoyu was startled, ’So that’s why Brother suddenly changed our sect’s neutral stance, opting to side with the Wanxiang Sect... It turns out he was promised such a benefit; a Returning Qi Pill is indeed a miracle elixir that aids in breaking through the bottleneck of the Middle Stage of Core Formation to advance to the Late Stage...’

"Hehe, Lei friend is jesting... The ’Returning Qi Pill’ is not easy to refine, requiring many years of closed-door cultivation to assimilate, and currently, I do not have such leisure..."
