Counterattack?

Yang Danglong chose to occupy Leishi Peak. True Person Yanfeng glanced at him, said nothing more, and readily agreed.

Half a day later, True Person Yanfeng left. Madam Gui stayed at Leishi Peak for another three days before leading her cultivators away.

After that, Yang Danglong renamed Leishi Peak to Hidden Dragon Peak, officially establishing his sect.

On the other side, Xuankong Valley.

Mister Shuijing and True Person Wanshi also face three choices.

Ultimately, like Yang Danglong, Mister Shuijing chose to occupy Xuankong Valley and establish Water Mirror Manor.

However, because Xuankong Valley is far more valuable than Leishi Peak, Mister Shuijing needs to pay more taxes to the White Cloud Sect every year.

Among the four Golden Core Cultivators, True Person Wanshi chose the safest option: the White Cloud Sect would allocate him a Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein within Canglan Commandery.

True Person Wanshi led his cultivators to establish the Stubborn Stone Sect on this Spirit Vein, and with the support of the White Cloud Sect, it gradually developed.

Three months later.

Hidden Dragon Peak has been completely transformed. Under the careful management of Yang Danglong and other Yang Household Members, as well as the recruited Rogue Cultivators, the Spirit Fields have been reclaimed and planted with brand-new spirit medicine, Spirit Grains, and Spirit Wood.

In addition, the area within a two-thousand-mile radius centered on Hidden Dragon Peak became the territory of the Hidden Dragon Sect.

The vast Mineral Deposits, first and second-tier Spirit Veins, and the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Lineage that gradually migrated there all belonged to the Hidden Dragon Sect.

Everything seemed to be going well, but Yang Danglong would not let his guard down.

The Fire Spirit Palace acted swiftly and violently. Konggu County was suddenly attacked and captured by the White Cloud Sect. How could they not retaliate?

According to the message from True Person Yanfeng, the Fire Spirit Palace has been sharpening its knives recently, mobilizing more than twenty Golden Core Cultivators and thousands of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, preparing to launch a major attack on Konggu County and reclaim the place.

The White Cloud Sect's intelligence network was clearly superior; they learned of this news and made arrangements immediately.

More than a dozen Golden Core Cultivators were dispatched to each of the six Third-Tier Spirit Veins within Konggu County to jointly resist the attack of the Fire Spirit Palace.

The two cultivators in the Early Golden Core stage were sent to assist the Hidden Dragon Sect in its defense.

First, there is the familiar True Person Wanshi. Although he established the Stubborn Stone Sect in the rear, it does not mean that he will no longer accept the summons of the White Cloud Sect.

On the contrary, with his foundation established, the True Person Wanshi was even more eager to make Merit, exchange for various resources, upgrade his Spirit Veins, cultivate disciples and followers, set up protective Formations for his sect, and so on.

The second Golden Core Cultivator was named True Person Qixia, and he was also Early Golden Core.

This person was not Rogue Cultivator, but came from the Golden Core sect, Three Rosy Clouds Grotto. This sect was located in Bai Province and was a force under the White Cloud Sect. He had come to Mo Province to fight in response to the summons from his Upper Sect.

After True Person Wanshi and True Person Qixia arrived, they quietly waited at the Formation nodes, awaiting the attack of the Golden Core under the command of the Fire Spirit Palace.

The next evening, as dusk settled and the sky was shrouded in a hazy glow, red clouds rose from the horizon, draping the world in a crimson hue.

Boom!

A thunderclap sounded from the ground, followed by a burst of blazing golden Thunder that struck down from above, heading straight for the summit of Hidden Dragon Peak.

As the Thunder struck, the Third-Tier Flying Boat, which had been stealthily lurking near Hidden Dragon Peak using Concealment Array, revealed itself.

This Flying Boat is similar to the Yang Household's Purple Moon Boat; it is not long and slender, but rather extremely majestic, with a wide deck and a large number of War Law Artifacts arranged on both sides.

At the bow of the boat, three Golden Core Cultivators stood against the wind, two men and one woman, all exuding murderous intent and unleashing their respective offensive techniques.

This Geng Metal Divine Thunder was unleashed by the woman among the three. It was the fastest and had the strongest attack power, with a fierce and ruthless nature. If it were to hit a Golden Core cultivator head-on, the Early Golden Core cultivator might very well perish on the spot.

Buzz!!

The Array Mark flowed, and the Ji Earth Kun Origin Formation rose up. It seemed to have been hastily activated without warning, and was immediately shaken by the Geng Metal Divine Thunder, its light dimming.

At that moment, two other attacks also arrived simultaneously.

They were respectively a Red Flying Sword engraved with mysterious Artifact Mark and blazing with flames.

And a yellowish-brown Spirit Pearl, seemingly containing a thousand-foot mountain range and weighing Ten Thousand Jun weight.

Both Law Treasures are of the Third-Tier Lower-Grade. Currently, they are being fully activated by their master. Although their power cannot compare to the extremely strong and powerful force of the Geng Metal Divine Thunder, it is still quite extraordinary.

With a combined attack, the Ji Earth Kun Origin Formation was shattered on the spot with a bang, and the earth-yellow light scattered in the sky, shining brightly.

"The enemy's Formation has been broken, follow me and kill them!"

A middle-aged woman, dressed in a light red Daoist robe, with an ordinary appearance but extremely sharp eyes.

Holding a long sword, he shouted as he slashed out with a clang. The Sword Gang surged like a mighty river, its power formidable.

"Kill!!"

Inside the Flying Boat behind the woman, more than three hundred Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators shouted in unison, unleashing one Law Artifact after another, and launching a barrage of Law Technique.

The Third-Tier Flying Boat and the other two Golden Core Cultivators also launched their attacks simultaneously.

In an instant, a powerful Spiritual Qi Torrent surged forth from the sky.

Like a collapsing galaxy, the sudden burst of multicolored light illuminated the entire Hidden Dragon Peak, making it bright, clear, and colorful.

Thump!!

The mountain collapsed, destroying nearly half of Hidden Dragon Peak. However, the expressions of several Golden Core Cultivators changed.

Their attacks failed to hit any Cultivators; the auras they had sensed vanished instantly.

"Not good..."

The middle-aged woman was startled. Realizing what was happening, she instinctively reached for her defensive Law Treasure.

However, with their intentions aligned with the enemy's, they are destined to be at a disadvantage this time.

Suddenly, the Ji Earth Kun Origin Formation, which had shattered into countless streams of light on the horizon, was restored.

Boundless Earth Qi spread out, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a phantom mountain over a hundred feet high.

This peak, powered by the strength of Third-Tier Spirit Vein, activated Third Tier Formation and Law Treasure, making it incomparably powerful.

The moment Pu appeared, an immense pressure seemed to freeze the sky.

The sky, thousands of feet high and centered on the Flying Boat, seemed to have solidified into a piece of amber, with the dust and air within it appearing to have stopped flowing and become stiff and rigid.

This wasn't the end; behind the mountain peak came an even larger torrent of attacks.

The True Person Wanshi hurled the enormous stone club with tremendous force, and it came crashing down from the sky like a millstone grinding the heavens and earth.

At the same time, he activated a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Talisman in his hand.

A clear Sword Cry rang out in the twilight, and Sword Gang dozens of feet long swept across the sky, fiercely piercing the Third-Tier Flying Boat that had been briefly suppressed by the mountain peak.

Besides True Person Wanshi, True Person Qixia and Yang Danglong also wielded Law Treasure weapons and Talisman. The latter even took out a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Puppet and activated it with his Divine Sense.

This Puppet had the head of a bull and the body of a human, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, wielding a double-edged blood axe, and exuding Sha Qi.

Yang Tianyou obtained several Third-Tier Puppets from the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, and Yang Danglong gave him one before he left.

There were a total of seven powerful attacks at the Golden Core Level, followed by coordinated attacks from dozens of Foundation Establishment and two to three hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

Not to mention, a terrifying mountain of immense power looms overhead.

In an instant, the initial excitement of the Fire Spirit Palace cultivators vanished, and their hearts felt as if they had fallen into Purgatory.
