Juelong Ridge

On Juelong Ridge, a battle between the Xuan and Mo factions raged.

This was Li Fan's first time witnessing a battlefield of Taiji Realm cultivators.

Among the Three Great Sects, the Ancient Immortal Palace had a more conventional style, generally confined to large-scale army confrontations, duels between champions, arrow volleys, and clashes of armored soldiers. At most, they would occasionally deploy giant demon-suppressing robots, immortal beasts, or Divine Weapon missiles to break formations. Internal conflicts within the Immortal Palace, and civil wars between the Three Walls, eight factions, and Twelve Countries, were mostly fought in a classical manner.

However, with the emergence of the Xuan Sect, the warfare style of Xianxia began to deviate.

After all, the cultivators of the Xuan Sect originated from the Jianghu, were few in number, and their long-standing opponents were the constables and assassins of the Immortal Palace. Even with superior individual strength, they often resorted to evasion when facing encirclement by tens of thousands of soldiers. Except for a rare few like Xuantian, no one would typically engage in a head-on charge to slaughter everyone.

Therefore, the Xuan Sect faction, both internally and externally, usually employed guerrilla tactics: ambushes, flanking maneuvers, night raids, special operations, and assassination attempts on leaders. Their goal was primarily to strike at the head and disrupt morale, rarely engaging in frontal battles of hundreds or thousands of cultivators. If they could gather hundreds or thousands of true cultivators, it would be enough to convene a Cloud Platform Assembly.
