The Situation of the Siege Against the Luo Clan
Ten days later.
Ling Pengyun rode the Immortal Crane King, traversing hundreds of thousands of miles, and landed on the summit of a desolate mountain three miles away from Luo Clan Mountain.
As soon as they landed on the mountaintop, the Clan Head Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, who had been staying there, came to greet them.
"Peng Yun, are the matters concerning the Formation Breaking Talisman and the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein settled?"
With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Clan Head Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun, who had just jumped down from the Immortal Spirit Crane King, and asked him a question.
"Third Grandfather, although this matter has been accomplished, the price we paid for these two things far exceeded our expectations."
"Not only does Spirit Talisman True Person want 50,000 catties of First-Tier Superior-Grade Sand Soil Ore, but also 30% of the profits from the Spirit Plant that my Ling Clan will grow on the Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan, which will last for a hundred years."
"Furthermore, our clan also needs to do things for Spirit Talisman True Person. However, Spirit Talisman True Person is not too demanding about this matter and has promised me that if it is too dangerous, our clan can refuse."
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out the Second Rank High Grade -Formation Breaking Talisman given to him by Spirit Talisman True Person Wu Tian, and handed it to Ling Yunhong, speaking to him in detail.
Upon hearing this, Clan Head Ling Yunhong raised an eyebrow slightly.
He was the head of the clan, though he rarely handled clan affairs on a daily basis.
But he could roughly guess what Ling Pengyun meant by the price.
However, these costs were all within his acceptable range.
As long as the Luo Clan can be destroyed, the Lineage can still retain 70% of the Spirit Plant planted by the Luo Clan Spirit Vein the future, and the Lineage can still obtain a lot of benefits.
"The price we paid for this is acceptable. A hundred years is not a long time for the Foundation Establishment Family like ours that can last for at least a hundred years. It just means that our Ling Clan family will earn less within a hundred years."
"Peng Yun, you did a good job on this." Ling Yunhong praised him first, then looked at the Formation Breaking Talisman in his hand, his eyes shining slightly, and said with a smile.
"With this talisman, the Mountain Protection Formation of Falling Dusk Mountain, which is only of the Second Grade Middle Rank, will be as good as nothing. The Luo Clan only has Luo Minghui, who has just reached the Foundation Establishment, and he Non-Self. This time, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Luo Clan in one fell swoop."
"Peng Yun, you have traveled a long way from the Hundred Spirits Sect and must be exhausted. Rest for the night and we will attack Falling Dusk Mountain tomorrow."
"Third Grandfather, have the side effects of the Spirit Burst Pill worn off?" Ling Pengyun asked.
"The side effects of the Spirit Burst Pill ended a few days ago," Ling Yunhong said.
"That's good. With you in charge, the task of destroying the Luo Clan will be much less troublesome."
"By the way, Third Grandfather, has anything changed regarding our clan's joint siege of the Luo Clan's Low-Order Spirit Vein with the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan?"
Hearing this, Ling Pengyun felt much more at ease. Although the key to destroying the Luo Clan was the Formation Breaking Talisman, if Ling Yunhong's strength had not recovered, it would be extremely difficult to kill Luo Clan Luo Minghui of the Luo Clan and then destroy the Luo Clan.
Then, Ling Pengyun voiced another concern that had been on his mind.
"Nothing went wrong. Fortunately, we listened to your and Peng Xing's advice and set off directly to form an alliance with the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan."
"With the help of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, we were able to surround Luo Clan Luo Clan cultivators who were stationed on the Low-Order Spirit Vein in time."
"As our clan's Qi Refining cultivators arrived, the more than twenty Low-Order Spirit Vein within the Luo Clan's territory were continuously falling under the joint attack of our clan and the Liu Clan's Qi Refining cultivators."
"I'm afraid that in less than ten days, the Qi Refining cultivators of my clan and the Liu Clan will be able to conquer all those Low-Order Spirit Vein."
"As for the Luo Clan cultivators in various markets and marketplaces, Liu Daozhou, the Clan Head, and I have sent messages to the Liu Clan clansmen in the same markets and marketplaces to keep them under direct surveillance. Once those Luo Clan Qi Refining cultivators leave a market or marketplace, we will kill them immediately."
"After all, fighting is not allowed in the market and marketplace," Ling Yunhong said with a smile.
"That's good news. As long as all the remnants of the Luo Clan clan are wiped out, my Ling Clan can grow stronger without worry after destroying the Luo Clan." Ling Pengyun said with a smile after hearing the good news.
"That's right," Ling Yunhong agreed.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun chatted with Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing for a few more minutes before dispersing.
The next day, early morning.
For nearly a month, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan Ling Clan Head Liu Daozhou and the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan's Guardian Spirit Beast Flame Cloud Tiger, who had surrounded Falling Dusk Mountain, received a message from Ling Yunhong that Ling Pengyun, who had gone to the Hundred Spirits Sect to find the Formation Breaking Talisman, had returned. They immediately rushed to the desolate mountain where Ling Pengyun and the others were.
"Ling Clan, have you truly found the Formation Breaking Talisman?" Liu Daozhou asked Ling Yunhong with anticipation in his eyes upon seeing Ling Pengyun's return.
Ling Yunhong didn't hesitate and took out the Second Rank High Grade Formation Breaking Talisman from his Storage Bag.
Liu Daozhou, Liu Clan Head, examined the talisman and, upon seeing that it was indeed Formation Breaking Talisman, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
The Liu Clan and Luo Clan families were enemy clans, and their territories were adjacent. Ever since the Hundred Spirits Sect finished developing Jiao Province, the Luo Clan had been harassing the Liu Clan.
What angered Liu Daozhou even more was that in recent years, many Qi Refining cultivators from the Luo Clan had disguised themselves as Evil Cultivator to ambush and kill members of the Liu Clan clan.
In just a few years, a full ten Qi Refining cultivators from the Liu Clan died at the hands of cultivators from the Luo Clan family.
He had tolerated this matter in the past only because the Luo Clan family was powerful and their territory was adjacent to the Liu Clan's, so he dared not go directly to them.
But now that the Luo Clan has been weakened by the Ling Clan's Foundation Establishment, leaving only Luo Clan Luo Minghui, how could he possibly give up this good opportunity?
This is also his main purpose in agreeing to form an alliance with the Ling Clan to destroy the Luo Clan.
"The day has finally come!" Liu Daozhou was overjoyed.
Seeing Liu Daozhou's expression, Ling Yunhong urged him on.
"Liu Daoist Friend, now that the Formation Breaking Talisman has arrived, it would be best to quickly annihilate the Luo Clan to prevent any further unforeseen events."
"Okay." Liu Daozhou snapped out of his daze when he heard the call.
Subsequently, Ling Yunhong, a Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator, led the group towards Luo Clan Mountain, located three miles away.
At this moment, Falling Dusk Mountain was shrouded in a huge yellow light curtain. This defensive light curtain had appeared a month ago when Ling Yunhong and others besieged Falling Dusk Mountain.
Three miles was a very short distance for Ling Yunhong and his group.
In just a dozen breaths, the group covered a distance of one or two miles and entered within one mile of Falling Dusk Mountain.
At that very moment, the massive yellow light curtain over Falling Dusk Mountain suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a giant seal-like magical Law Artifact, several meters in size, was swiftly unleashed from Falling Dusk Mountain.
Although the seal-shaped Law Artifact was large, its flight speed was not slow at all.
In the blink of an eye, the seal-shaped magical Law Artifact, several meters in size, spanned a mile and was about to strike Ling Pengyun and the others.
Ling Pengyun and the others were all experienced cultivators with plenty of combat experience. They quickly unleashed their respective magical Law Artifact and bombarded the incoming seal Law Artifact.
Several Law Artifact clashed, instantly producing a series of metallic clangs.
The power of that seal-shaped magical Law Artifact was also revealed, possessing a force of 30,000 jin.
"This seal magic artifact is only a mid-grade second-order magic artifact, but its power far exceeds that of ordinary mid-grade second-order magic artifacts. It is likely that this seal magic artifact is the Xuan Tu Seal, the protective array artifact of the Luo Clan Mountain called the Xuan Tu Great Array."
Ling Pengyun looked at the huge seal that was blocked in the air and made some guesses.
The Profound Earth Great Array Second Grade Middle Rank, and its array artifact Profound Earth Seal, is also of the Second Grade Middle Rank.
This Law Artifact can absorb the power of the Earth Vein to accumulate strength. It takes nine years to accumulate the power of the Earth Vein to reach its strongest state, but this Law Seals only has the power of three strikes.
The first strike had the force of 30,000 jin, the second strike had the force of 60,000 jin, and the third strike had the force of 90,000 jin.
This first strike was also the weakest.
With the combined efforts of Ling Pengyun and the other six, they easily blocked it.
Just as the Xuan Tu Seal struck the first blow, Luo Xia, and rose into the air, about to gather strength for the second strike, nearly a hundred attacks suddenly came from Luo Xia Mountain, the Luo clan's mountain.
Among these hundred attacks were both magical artifacts and spells, all unleashed by members of the Luo clan in the Qi Refining stage within the clan's mountain.
Seeing this, Ling Yunhong, the strongest among them, frowned and said to Ling Pengxing, a sword Law Artifact who was using a long whip magic weapon to resist the Ling Pengxing Profound Earth Seal with the others but whose strength was not fully utilized.
"Peng Xing, you are not able to unleash your full power with that Rainbow Cloud Long Whip. You should use defensive techniques to block the attacks from Falling Dusk Mountain. We will handle the Profound Earth Seal."
Upon hearing the order, Ling Pengxing immediately complied.
He waved his hand and took out a black magic shield, which he named the Ink Cloud Shield. It was obtained by killing Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator named "He Sha" a month ago.
As soon as the shield was taken out, Ling Pengxing poured a large amount of spiritual power into it, creating a huge dark green light screen that enveloped everyone around, including Liu Daozhou of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan and the Flame Cloud Tiger in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.
The Ling Clan's Immortal Spirit Crane King is no longer flying in the air, but on the ground.
This is also to band together and better withstand the offensive.
As soon as the magic shield was formed, Ling Pengxing also activated the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip to meet the hundred Law Technique attacks coming from Falling Dusk Mountain.
With a gentle flick of the whip, at least a quarter of the attack was deflected.
Just as Ling Pengxing was about to swing his whip again, and as other attacks came hurtling towards the sky, a red sword light suddenly shot up from Falling Dusk Mountain and swiftly struck the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip Rainbow Cloud Long Whip, sending it flying several feet away.
As a result, a small wound appeared on the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip.
"That Old Thief Luo's Second Rank High Grade Crimson Fire Sword." Ling Pengxing's eyes trembled as he saw the powerful aura emanating from the Dao Sword, and he thought to himself.
To avoid his only second-tier attack Law Artifact, the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip, being cut by the Crimson Fire Sword, which was of a high Second Rank High Grade.
He quickly mobilized his Divine Sense to retrieve the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip that had been knocked away.
It was precisely because of his actions that the Crimson Fire Sword and the dozens of attacks from Falling Dusk Mountain rained down on the dark green light screen erected by the Ink Cloud Shield, creating Ripples Marketplace.
Although the attacks from those dozens of Qi Refining cultivators from the Luo Clan clan were not strong, Ling Pengxing was not afraid.
However, the Second Rank High Grade Crimson Fire Sword was extremely powerful. Every time the sword struck the Ink Cloud Magic Shield, the spiritual light on the Dao Techniques would dim a little.
"If this sword were to strike the dark cloud light barrier again, the light barrier erected by this shield would probably be shattered in less than a hundred breaths," Ling Pengxing thought to himself.
Left with no other choice, he had to expend his spiritual power and use his Innate Spell to conjure an eight-zhang-long "Geng Metal Cloud Splitting Sword" to delay the powerful attack of the Crimson Fire Sword.
at the same time.
The enormous Profound Earth Seal in the sky had also gathered its power and unleashed its second strike.
The power of this second strike was more than twice that of the first.
In addition, they lost Ling Pengxing, a formidable general.
This made it somewhat difficult for Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong, Immortal Spirit Crane King, Liu Daozhou, and Flame Cloud Tiger to resist.
When the third strike landed, it forced Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong, and Liu Daozhou to unleash their Innate Spell, which finally repelled the attack.
After striking there, the Profound Earth Seal had no more power left, its spiritual light dimmed, and it quickly flew back to Falling Dusk Mountain, allowing Ling Pengyun and the others to escape.
"Pengyun, Xianling, Fellow Daoist Liu, you attack the defensive formation on the Luo Clan Mountain. I'm going to help Pengxing."
Seeing that Ling Pengxing had exhausted a great deal of energy relying on his Innate Spell to resist the Crimson Fire Sword unleashed by Luo Minghui, and that he had reached the point of needing to take Spirit Gathering Pill in just a few breaths, Ling Yunhong frowned and spoke up to signal him.
To prevent Ling Pengxing from being unable to use his Innate Spell to resist the extraordinary power of the Crimson Fire Sword, which would cause the sword to strike the light barrier erected by the Ink Cloud Shield and shatter it.
Ling Yunhong swiftly attacked, blasting the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, which exuded chilling energy, towards the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, and began a fierce battle with it.
Ling Pengxing, who had been struggling to withstand the bombardment of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, felt his pressure greatly reduced when Ling Yunhong arrived to provide support.
At the same time, an idea came to mind.
He waved his hand to remove the Geng Metal Cloud Splitting Sword, which consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, and instead summoned the Second Rank Low Grade Rainbow Cloud Long Whip that he had just put away, and pointed it with his hand.
The Rainbow Cloud Long Whip, like a long snake, soared into the air and, taking advantage of the entanglement between the Crimson Fire Flying Sword and the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, quickly climbed up the body of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword.
Although this whip is only of the Second Rank Low Grade, Ling Pengxing, a sword cultivator, is not skilled at using it.
The materials used to forge this long whip are extraordinary. Even Second Rank High Grade Crimson Fire Flying Sword would find it difficult to cut the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip in a short time and break free.
Seizing this opportunity, Ling Yunhong poured even more spiritual power into the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, and fiercely bombarded the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, sending it flying.
Then, pressing their advantage, they forced the Crimson Fire Flying Sword into a series of defeats.
The shimmering light of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword gradually dimmed, and several small nicks even appeared on its blade.
After exchanging more than ten blows, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword was severely damaged by the Azure Sea Flying Sword. The blade was dull and lifeless, and even showed signs of breaking.
"Third Grandfather, please spare him."
Seeing Ling Pengxing quickly spoke up to prevent Ling Yunhong's Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword from shattering the sword.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong understood his meaning, waved his hand to retrieve the Frosty Azure Sea Flying Sword, and went to help Ling Pengyun and the others bombard the defensive formation on the Luo Clan Mountain.
Ling Pengxing, on the other hand, continued to use the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip wrapped around the Crimson Fire Flying Sword to trap it.
If the Crimson Fire Flying Sword were at its full strength, the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip would naturally be unable to restrain it. However, at this moment, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword has been severely damaged, and its power is only about 10% or 20% remaining.
This power is somewhat weaker than that of the Rainbow Cloud Long Whip.
