The War in Yan Kingdom
The Second-Order Array of the Spirit Stone Shop shattered under the Magic Artifact of that Foundation Establishment cultivator, and many cultivators who had been waiting for this opportunity rushed in immediately.
The disciples of the Divine Wood Sect picked up their Magic Artifact with despair in their eyes, preparing to fight a few more before they died, so that their life of cultivating immortality would not have been in vain.
Zhou Bingyan had already closed her eyes and awaited death, but she was awakened by a clap of thunder and witnessed the most beautiful scene of her life.
Amidst the blood-red light, the Foundation Establishment corpse, its head shattered by cyan lightning, fell before the gate of the Divine Wood Sect's Spirit Stone Shop, shocking the Tribulation Cultivators who had been greedily contemplating how to seize the Spirit Stone.
"Who gave you the audacity to attack the disciples of my Divine Wood Sect!"
At this moment, a youth who seemed like a true immortal rode on Five-Colored Cloud and landed on the highest roof of the Spirit Stone Shop. Accompanied by a cold sentence, a burst of orange-red light shot out from the gourd at his waist.
"Not good..."
The cultivators and some opportunistic Rogue Cultivator had already planned to flee when they saw the blue lightning appear, but Chen Mobai was simply too fast.
A burst of brilliant light erupted, instantly crisscrossing the area inside and outside the Spirit Stone Shop.
The Primordial Yang Sword Sha is formless and intangible. Wherever it passes, blood light surges. One by one, the tribulation cultivators find their perspective reversed as they run, and before they know it, their heads have been separated from their bodies.
The body was running, but the head flew off.
In the blink of an eye, all the rogue Rogue Cultivator had besieged the Divine Wood Sect's Spirit Stone Shop were turned into corpses by the Primordial Yang Sword Sha.
When Chen Mobai flew over, he initially thought that Xuan Guang Market had been invaded and besieged by the Jie Xiu. However, when he discovered that the target of the attack was actually the shops of the Divine Wood Sect, his brows furrowed.
He arrived at just the right time. If he had come a moment later, the Array Formation would probably have been breached, and none of the disciples inside would have survived the onslaught of the Tribulation Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After killing the Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single flash of lightning, he showed no mercy to his accomplices.
"Zhou Bingyan, a disciple of the Sword Cultivation Department, pays respects to Elder Chen!"
Just as Chen Mobai was using the Primordial Yang Sword Sha to sweep away the surroundings, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect came over from inside the shop. Led by a beautiful female cultivator with a slightly pale face, they bowed deeply to him.
Before Chen Mobai Core Formation, he lectured Qi Cultivation Cultivator in Divine Wood City, explaining the Foundation Establishment. Zhou Bingyan was among them at that time and recognized him at a glance.
"Get up, all of you. You Divine Wood Sword. Are you a true successor of the new generation of the Sword Cultivation Department?"
Before Chen Mobai left, Xi Jinghuo, the true disciple of the Xi Jinghuo Sword Cultivation Department, successfully Foundation Establishment. He didn't pay attention to who would take over next. Seeing that Zhou Bingyan had Second Grade Divine Wood Sword, he assumed that she was the one.
"This Divine Wood Sword was bestowed upon me by my family. The true disciple of the Sword Cultivation Department is now Feng Hongxue."
Zhou Bingyan answered truthfully that she was a member of the Zhou Family and was considered the most talented among the younger generation. Although she was not the number one in the Sword Cultivation Department, she was still in the line of true disciples.
In order to gain enough Sect Contribution, he was assigned to the Xiao Kingdom, which was guarded by his great-uncle Zhou Wangshen, to gain experience.
"Feng Hongxue? It's still this guy?"
Chen Mobai had a vague recollection of him; when he became the Top True Disciple, he was the top Sword Cultivation Department. Back then, Zeng Woyou had used the inner core of Demon Beast Inner Core to refine two Foundation Establishment Pills, one for each of them, but he succeeded in Foundation Establishment while Feng Hongxue failed.
Then Xi Jinghuo realized his talent and held the position of true disciple in the Sword Cultivation Department for a long time.
Unexpectedly, even after Xi Jinghuo had reached the Foundation Establishment, Feng Hongxue was still able to make a comeback.
"Senior Brother Feng has mastered a powerful new sword technique, making Top True Disciple."
Zhou Bingyan spoke up, but Chen Mobai was too lazy to pay attention to such trivial matters as Qi Refining.
He's now Core Formation Ancestor. If Feng Hongxue were to Foundation Establishment, he might be interested in reminiscing about how he suppressed him with Two Swords strikes back then.
"What happened to the sect? Why is there no one left at Zhou Wangshen's residence?"
Chen Mobai asked the question that concerned him the most.
"Reporting to Elder Chen, last year our sect clashed with the Nan Xuan Sect in the Yan Kingdom. Old Ancestor Fu personally came to confront the Nan Xuan Sect's ancestor. Both sides were mobilizing large armies of cultivators. Xiao Kingdom is close by, so it was naturally the first to be mobilized."
Zhou Bingyan told everything she knew in detail.
Although Chen Mobai remained expressionless after hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, making the Divine Wood Sect disciples below feel as if a sharp sword was pressed against their bones.
[Elder Chen was already an invincible Foundation Establishment before he left, known as the Eastern Wasteland Second Sword. Now that he's returned from his travels, who knows what realm he's at? Maybe he's already at the False Core...]
Zhou Bingyan was also Sword Cultivator, and she was naturally very familiar with Chen Mobai, the benchmark of Sword Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect. Sensing the aura that Chen Mobai unintentionally emitted, she couldn't help but guess his cultivation level.
At this moment, Chen Mobai had already retrieved the Primordial Yang Sword Sha. The bright orange light, untouched by blood, remained as vibrant and beautiful as ever, and was now stored in the Yellow Gourd at his waist.
"Where is Tie Qingshan? Come out and see me!"
After finishing his conversation with his disciple Zhou Bingyan, Chen Mobai's sharp eyes remained undiminished as he coldly shouted at the entire Xuan Guang Market.
This Tie Qingshan is none other than the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Tie Family. Back in the Yan Kingdom, I fought under his command.
The fact that the cultivators were able to enter the market with impunity is largely due to Tie Qingshan, who is in charge of the market.
After Chen Mobai killed the Jie Xiu, he naturally had to investigate the responsibility.
As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man in a dark blue robe walked out of the tallest building in the Xuan Guang Market with a respectful expression, leading a group of people over.
"Reporting to Old Ancestor Chen, my ancestor is not in the market. I am Tie Qishan, the third elder of the Tie Family ..."
"I'm giving Tie Qingshan the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he doesn't come to see me within that time, then your Tie Family has no reason to exist."
Chen Mobai glanced down at Tie Qishan, not wanting to hear his explanation, and said in a cold tone before signaling Zhou Bingyan below to light an incense stick.
"Please forgive me, Old Ancestor Chen, but the Teleportation Array of my Tie Family's territory and this place has been destroyed by treacherous individuals. Upon hearing of this, Elder Qingshan personally set off for this place..."
"That's one reason, but the incense has already been lit, and I can't go back on my word. If he doesn't show up by the time it's time, then your Tie Family will have to give up this Xuan Guang Market."
Chen Mobai is also a domineering and uncompromising person in the Eastern Wasteland; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the people here.
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell off the roof.
Zhou Bingyan had already had chairs and tables brought out, and an incense stick was burning on the table.
"The rest of the sect disciples, go outside and pack up the things belonging to the traitors. You come here and tell me about the war between the sect Nan Xuan Sect in the Yan Kingdom."
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, the Divine Wood Sect disciples who were standing in a row immediately beamed with joy. Zhou Bingyan, who was called upon, also walked over excitedly and began to explain in more detail.
A year ago, the Nan Xuan Sect demanded that Yue Zutao release the Array Formation to allow them to enter and search, citing the disappearance of some of their disciples in the North Abyss Market Town.
This was naturally not allowed, and friction began to break out between the two sides. In the end, the Core Formation Ancestor of the Nan Xuan Sect personally came to exert pressure, and it was only after Fu Zongjue stepped forward and fought with Nan Xuanjing that both sides finally withdrew.
But this matter did not end there. Disciples from the two sects began to be hostile to each other in the Yan Kingdom, and there were frequent cases of people mysteriously disappearing or being killed.
On one occasion, the Foundation Establishment of the Divine Wood Sect was ambushed. Although he escaped by relying on two of his most powerful secret techniques, he was severely injured and unable to advance any further in his life.
Although the murderer was not caught on the spot, he used the magic of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace. In the midst of the uproar, several Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment of the Yan Kingdom were about to go to war with the Nan Xuan Sect.
Fortunately, Yue Zutao was clear-headed and knew that this was a scheme by the Xuanxiao Dao Palace. They probably deliberately spared the lives of their own Foundation Establishment in order to force Divine Wood Sect to attack Nan Xuan Sect first.
After reporting to Old Ancestor Fu, he suppressed the internal voices and pinned the blame on the Demon Path cultivators.
However, his restraint only emboldened the Nan Xuan Sect, which began to frequently provoke him.
At the end of last year, the Nan Xuan Sect Bao Se Market Town Auction was held as usual. A True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect borrowed money from all sides and spent his life savings to bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But after he handed over the Spirit Stone, he didn't receive the Foundation Establishment.
The reason given by Bao Se Market Town was that the Divine Wood Sect disciple's identity was problematic and might pose a threat to the Nan Xuan Sect in the future, so this Foundation Establishment Pill could not be given to him.
If they don't want to give it, they don't want to give it, but who knew they wouldn't even return the Spirit Stone?
Enraged, the Divine Wood Sect disciple immediately launched into a tirade of curses. The person in charge of Bao Se Market Town, who had initially offered a cold explanation, turned hostile and rebuked him for insulting him, then drew his flying sword and killed the Divine Wood Sect disciple.
This incident occurred in public and immediately caused a huge uproar.
After the news spread, not only Yue Zutao, but even the Chu Zuoshu Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu couldn't suppress the surging public opinion within the sect.
Petitions demanding war against the Nan Xuan Sect could no longer be stopped.
Moreover, this also concerns the dignity of the Divine Wood Sect, a major sect. If they turn a blind eye, they will be ridiculed by all cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland and forever labeled as cowards in the hearts of Rogue Cultivator and low-level cultivators.
"At first, Commander Yue still wanted to stop this war. He personally went to Bao Se Market Town and demanded that the Nan Xuan Sect hand over the murderer..."
Zhou Bingyan recounted the events at the beginning of the war. Yue Zutao, who was in charge of Yan Kingdom Guardian, was undoubtedly capable. He knew that once the war started, Divine Wood Sect, which had finally managed to recuperate, would suffer another major blow.
Unfortunately, the Nan Xuan Sect was single-mindedly focused on fighting the Divine Wood Sect, so his trip there only resulted in humiliation, and he almost didn't even make it out of the Bao Se Market Town.
After Yue Zutao escaped with great difficulty, war was inevitable. The Divine Wood Sect began to draw cultivators from its Six Nations and send them to North Abyss City in the Yan Kingdom.
Then Fu Zongjue left Giant Wood Ridge in his true form and personally took charge of the Yan Kingdom.
Over the course of a year, the two sects have clashed directly several times. Although the Divine Wood Sect, being Eastern Yi Great Sect Nan Xuan Sect Barbarians, possesses more sophisticated War Formation. Despite being outnumbered, the Nanxuan Sect has managed to hold its own against the Divine Wood Sect.
"Qingshan greets Elder Chen!"
Just as Chen Mobai and Zhou Bingyan were talking, a muscular man walked over, slightly out of breath, surrounded by a group of people.
This person is Tie Qingshan, a body cultivator.
Chen Mobai looked up at the incense stick on the table, just before it was lit and extinguished.
He said calmly, "It's time."
"Please forgive me, Elder Chen. There was a traitor in the family. A Guest Elder who had been lying in wait for more than ten years destroyed the Teleportation Array. Otherwise, I would have come immediately and would not have let this happen."
Tie Qingshan walked over somewhat nervously. Although he was quite famous in the Xiao Kingdom, he was no match for the number one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.
"I said, time's up!"
Chen Mobai spoke again, Tie Qingshan, a tall and imposing man, stood still, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Elder Chen, I've arrived as quickly as possible, and it should take about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. These are my apologies..."
As Tie Qingshan spoke, he took a storage bag from the family elder and handed it over.
He didn't dare give it directly to Chen Mobai, so he handed it to Zhou Bingyan next to him, but the latter didn't dare to take it without Chen Mobai speaking.
"I always keep my word."
Chen Mobai spoke calmly, then stood up, his right hand already resting on the Yellow Gourd at his waist.
Having witnessed the headless corpses scattered all along the way, the Tie Family disciples turned pale and looked at Tie Qingshan with despair.
"Elder Chen, in the war that destroyed the summit of Mountain Shaking Peak, I also led the Tie Family disciples to shed blood at your hands. Do you really not show any mercy at all?"
Tie Qingshan was also a cultivator who Foundation Establishment through life-and-death battles. When he was truly in dire straits, he was no longer the timid and cowardly person he had been before. His words carried a hint of toughness, his body stood tall, and his eyes held a slight anger.
"Oh..."
Chen Mobai laughed when he saw this.
However, he immediately realized that since he had not revealed his Core Formation cultivation level, in Tie Qingshan's eyes, he should still be the invincible Foundation Establishment Chen Guixian.
Both being at the Foundation Establishment Realm, Tie Qingshan, as the number one cultivator in the Xiao Kingdom and a late-stage Foundation Establishment body cultivator, was clearly confident in himself and seemed to want to fight Chen Mobai.
At this moment, Tie Qingshan stopped pretending to be out of breath and unleashed his spiritual power, revealing a dark blue-green armor that, once donned, faintly resembled the style of Ji Dingjin.
Seeing this, the Divine Wood Sect disciples who were originally looting the cultivators' storage bags all became tense.
After all, this is the Tie Family's stronghold.
But Zhou Bingyan remained calm; she knew Chen Mobai's methods.
At the Foundation Establishment Realm, this person is invincible.
"Interesting. After being away for a few years, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually dares to defy me!"
Amidst Chen Mobai's loud laughter, he stood up, and then a powerful aura that Tie Qingshan could hardly believe surged forth, instantly shattering his Iron Tower Body.
