Five-Spirit Grand Formation, Wu Family Captives

"Everyone, don't be stingy with your Spirit Talisman Law Artifacts, use them all!" On the outskirts of the Taichang Mountain Range, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Taiyi Sect were still shouting.

Their location is a small, peripheral array base, not of great importance to the larger Array.

Therefore, having enough Foundation Establishment cultivators is sufficient for defense.

The forces that arrived were all Foundation Establishment forces; neither the Purple Mansion forces nor the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Taiyi Sect were present.

With shouts, countless Spirit Talisman flew out. The attacking Lineage was also an affiliated Lineage within the territory of the Green River Sect. It consisted of four or five Foundation Establishment forces combined, totaling about seven or eight Foundation Establishment. At this moment, they held a number of Formation-Breaking Talisman in their hands.

These Formation-Breaking Talisman are all first or second tier; third tier Formation-Breaking Talisman are very rare.

One or two cards have little impact on the entire formation, but if there are four or five cards, and this extends to the hundreds of outer formation bases, the impact becomes significant.

"Brother Xingyi, why doesn't the sect abandon the outside? This Taichang Mountain Range is too vast!" Ye Xingqing couldn't help but complain from the side.

"The Taichang Mountain Range are too vast; they're unwilling to give up any of them. We'll guard the formation base here while they harvest the spirit medicine and move the treasures behind us!" Ye Xingyi also transmitted his voice.

His face was ashen.

Who could have imagined that in less than a few days, Taiqing Commandery would fall overnight, and the vast Taiyi Sect would be besieged.

Now, not only is the Ye Family in big trouble, but the other Taichang Commandery are in even bigger trouble. After all, the Green River Sect has surrounded the Taiyi Sect, and the mountain gates, treasures, and cultivators of those affiliated forces are all targets of the Green River Sect's siege and reinforcement campaign.

Endless plundering and killing would turn the Green River Sect into a Demon Sect, and their bloodlust would surge wildly.

The mortal realm is in chaos, teeming with bandits; how much more so the Cultivation World.

It's fair to say that the entire Taichang Commandery was in chaos.

Not only were the Taichang Mountain Range surrounded, but the Hetian Jin Family, the Taiqiu Kong Family, and the Yongan Zhang Family were all besieged.

If the Green River Sect were smart, they could bribe these three families.

At that time, the Taichang Mountain Range will become a completely isolated mountain range, without any reinforcements.

Of course, at this moment, it was just the Fifth Stage Array that West King True Person led some True Person to attack Taiyi Sect.

If we wait until Nascent Soul Cultivator appears, the situation will be even worse!

After all, the True Lord of the Taiyi Sect never showed up from beginning to end, and even the sect leader Ziming of the Taiyi Sect had not shown up for decades.

"Be careful of that water dragon technique, use all your Spirit Flame!" Just as the group was pondering, the Foundation Establishment from the Taiyi Sect shouted again.

In the sky, all the Green River Sect cultivators took out a blue water flag.

These water flags were clearly part of a set of magical Law Artifacts, from which countless blue water dragons surged forth, crashing towards the Array and spirit formation!

In an instant, it was as if the ocean and rivers were being overturned before the Array.

A deafening roar filled the air, as if a natural disaster had struck.

Everyone quickly took out various Law Artifacts and Spirit Talisman.

As various Spirit Flames shot forth, the hissing water vapor, like a water dragon manifesting itself, stirred up endless mist in the sky.

At the same time, strange cries rang out.

"Everyone, get out quickly and kill the Blood Array Fish inside! These Blood Array Fish can corrupt Array; Chang'an Pass was broken Array 100,000 Blood Array Fish!"

"Charge!"

Ye Xingyi and Ye Xingqing were also helpless. The former took out a second-tier Fire-Swallowing Sparrow, while Ye Xingqing took out a first-tier late-stage Fire Cloud Bird.

Although the Ye Family only has seven members in Taichang Market, their fighting strength is considerable at this moment.

The only one who is somewhat lacking is Ye Jinghao.

Even though he was quite old, his cultivation level was still at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining was a result of the considerable profits from Taichang Market, and Ye Jinghao had consumed a significant number of spiritual pills.

The flames spewed by the Fire-Swallowing Sparrow are the longest-lasting and cause the most damage to the Blood Array Fish.

Besides, among the disciples of the Taiyi Sect, there are also many disciples of Sword Peak. They flew out their natal flying swords, and one of them even has Sword Embryo and is also a personal disciple of Sword Peak.

The Sword Qi surged, instantly slaying dozens of Blood Array Fish!

"Boom!"

"This is troublesome!" It turned out that there were also Formation-Breaking Talisman mixed in with the water dragon. One or two of these Formation-Breaking Talisman wouldn't have much of an impact.

But more than ten of them ended up in one spot.

Furthermore, even if the Blood Array Fish dies, its blood will corrode the spirit array as long as it falls on the spirit shield.

The Array was starting to look thin. Although it hadn't been broken yet, the Taiyi Sect had already suffered a somewhat failed attempt at establishing this foundation.

"Everyone hold the line! Hold the line with your lives! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!" The roar came from behind again.

Ye Xingyi and the others had no choice but to rush out to prevent the Array from breaking further.

At this time, Ye Xingyi was alright, as he was at the Foundation Establishment, but the other six members of the Ye Family were in grave danger, facing peril multiple times. Fortunately, Ye Xingyi intervened in time.

Beside him was a second-tier Fire-Swallowing Sparrow, which still narrowly escaped death.

Such scenes are not uncommon throughout the Taichang Mountain Range.

Almost every few mountains, there was an array base that was besieged by affiliated cultivators of the Green River Sect or cultivators of the Green River Sect!

Countless Blood Array Fish scattered.

The sole purpose is to destroy all these sub-array bases, or to disrupt the transmission of Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, at the center of the massive Array, West King True Person, along with nine True Person and dozens of Purple Mansions, landed at Taichang Market.

This place has the densest Spiritual Qi and also contains one of the twelve main array bases!

The battles here are the most intense, with dazzling magical Law Treasures flying in the air and massive Law Technique powerful enough to cover an entire city appearing one after another in the sky above Taichang Market.

If it weren't for the reinforcement of the Array, this whole place would probably have been razed to the ground.

The battles between True Person are far more intense than those between the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment.

The Green River Sect was clearly determined to win.

Moreover, it is quite obvious that the Green River Sect has an absolute advantage in the number of True Persons.

Because the Three Origins True Persons and other True Persons have not yet returned, the Taiyi Sect currently only has seven True Persons, and can only rely on the Array to desperately resist.

They didn't even dare to leave the formation; they could only use the Array to condense a spiritual shield and protect the foundation of the Five Spirits Grand Formation.

"Old Daoist Zi Tian, it seems that Ziming has indeed broken through to the Nascent Soul. Congratulations!"

"However, I suggest that your Taiyi Sect release the Array as soon as possible, hand over the inheritance and that secret treasure, so that you may still be able to merge into our Green River Sect and retain control of the valley!"

"King of the West, how many times do I have to say it? Our Taiyi Sect doesn't have that secret treasure, let alone open the Array. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly. Otherwise, when Uncle Ziji comes out of seclusion, along with the True Lord of the Heavenly Blade Sect, do you think your Green River Sect can gain any advantage?" Zitian True Person was not afraid at all.

The Array of the Taichang Mountain Range are divided into outer and inner formations. The outer formation is just Spirit Control shield with few variations, but the inner formation can summon the Five Spirits of Taiyi.

Even if True Person were to break in, they would surely die.

However, the fact that the Green River Sect is now adopting the safest method of grinding down the formation is what makes the Taiyi Sect the most troublesome.

Because the power of the Five Elements will be greatly reduced once they leave the outer formation area.

"Then there's nothing more to say. We can only wait until the outer formation is broken and the range of your Five Spirits Grand Formation shrinks significantly before we can talk about it again!" West King True Person sneered.

With a wave of his hand, one Golden Core cultivator, thirty Purple Mansion, and three hundred Foundation Establishment behind him simultaneously cast a spell.

It actually condensed into a gigantic Black Tortoise spirit image.

The claws of this Black Tortoise spirit are extremely large. They can not only release huge water arrows and drive the ocean, but every time the claws strike the spirit array, they cause the Taiyi Sect's Five Spirits Mountain Protection Array to tremble.

The main structure after the Taichang Market auction also suddenly shone with spiritual light.

"Do you really think you can wait for reinforcements from the Heavenly Blade Sect?"

"Do you still think that this Blood Array Fish can be cultivated by our Green River Sect?" West King True Person continued to speak coldly, causing Zitian True Person's brows to furrow even deeper.

The Blood Array Fish, this kind of corrupting array, is what's giving them the biggest headache this time.

It is even harder to defend against than the formation -Formation-Breaking Talisman.

Such a thing had previously only appeared in the Secret Method of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

However, the Heavenly Corpse Sect is the Blood Corpse Defilement Formation.

However, the Green River Sect somehow managed to cultivate 100,000 Blood Array Fish.

According to West King True Person, the Heavenly Corpse Sect is probably also helping the Green River Sect.

"What if we join them?" At that moment, a Fourth Stage Spirit Boat appeared in the distance.

Five True Person, including Tianfu True Person, Chengxuan True Person, and Three Origins True Person, arrived together.

"Good thing you've come! We've been waiting for you!" But unexpectedly, West King True Person suddenly became extremely excited.

He stepped into the void, and a Fourth Stage water dragon appeared, charging towards Tianfu True Person.

At the same time, another True Person appeared among the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Green River Sect, bringing the total True Persons to thirteen. Including the Fourth Stage water dragon, the total number of Golden Core cultivators reached fourteen.

These fourteen people all withdrew immediately, ready to surround and kill the five newly arrived True Person.

This caused even the Three Origins True Person's expression to change drastically. Although he was Late Golden Core and Sword Cultivator, he only had three Sword Embryos, so naturally he could not withstand so many True Person.

Both Chengxuan True Person and Tianfu True Person underwent a drastic change in appearance.

In particular, Tianfu True Person was bathed in purple light, his cultivation level had risen to the Late Golden Core, and his face looked as if he had been rejuvenated.

This clearly indicates that the Secret Method has been activated again.

Fortunately, Zitian True Person quickly led his men out to meet the attack!

And finally activated the White Tiger True Spirit of the Five Elements of Taiyi.

Otherwise, the Taiyi Sect would have lost True Person from the very beginning.

In Taichang Commandery, on a mountain ridge, a third-tier Spirit Boat was violently thrashing about.

Behind the third-tier Spirit Boat, another Spirit Boat was currently chasing after it frantically.

There were forty or fifty people on the third-tier Spirit Boat, while the Spirit Boat chasing behind only had five people.

"Uncle-Master Ye, this isn't the direction of Taichang Commandery..." Chen Yan was also extremely panicked at this moment.

The escaped Spirit Boat was naturally the Ye Family's Spirit Boat, and it not only carried the Ye Family's newly emerged cultivators, but also included Ye Jingli and others from before.

The reason was that Chen Yan, like Li Xuan'an, wanted the Ye Family members to head straight there, which naturally led them to run into Ye Jingli and his group who were cultivating on a mountain peak.

Chen Yan also witnessed Li Xuan'an's tragic death and was naturally deeply saddened, after all, Li Xuan'an was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, much stronger than him.

And now, they are being chased by cultivators from the Purple Mansion.

He watched as Ye Jingcheng's trembling body continuously urged the Spirit Boat forward.

They also kept attaching a Spirit Talisman to the Spirit Boat to maintain its speed and prevent it from being overtaken.

And this was clearly the only good news; the Spirit Boats that followed were inferior to their third-tier Spirit Boats.

However, a crucial question is how long Ye Jingcheng's True Essence can support the full-speed operation of this third-tier Spirit Boat.

"They will definitely intercept us more in Taichang Commandery. They are currently besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements. They want to gradually annex the three counties of Taichang, then feed the vassal forces first, and then launch a swift attack on the Taichang Mountain Range. We absolutely cannot escape along the previous route, otherwise we will be playing right into their hands!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Xingqun also looked at Chen Yan with displeasure.

"If Senior Brother Chen isn't afraid of being surrounded ahead, he can certainly steer the Spirit Boat forward alone!"

"Then let's listen to our senior uncle. If we ruin the sect's important affairs, I can't bear the responsibility!" Chen Yan shook his head repeatedly.

Although he accepted the bribe, he clearly felt that his own life was more important.

The main problem is that the Green River Sect is too crazy.

There's fighting everywhere, leaving no way to survive.

"Junior Nephew Chen, what treasures has the sect returned to you? Take them all out. If we can shake off the third-tier Spirit Boat behind us, we'll at least have a chance to catch our breath. Otherwise, my True Essence won't last much longer!" Ye Jingcheng said with considerable difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's face showed a look of pain.

But he still resolutely took out a palm-sized Spirit Talisman.

"This Spirit Talisman is a mid-grade third-tier Spirit Talisman, capable of Gale for Ten Thousand Miles. I urge you, Uncle-Master, to exert all your strength to shake off the person behind you!"

As soon as the Spirit Talisman was affixed to the Spirit Boat, it indeed seemed to be sailing with the Spirit Boat, its speed increasing dramatically.

They finally left the third-tier Spirit Boat far behind.

However, this direction was not towards Taichang Commandery, but towards the Cultivation World of the Wei Kingdom.

Of course, this entire route belongs to the spiritual land of Taichang Commandery, but if you want to go back, it will take at least several more days.

This naturally made Chen Yan's face turn extremely ugly.

But he still didn't say anything.

The enemy cultivators from the Purple Mansion behind could catch up at any time.

Chen Yan concluded from the ferocity of the creature and the presence of the corpse-refining cultivator on the Spirit Boat that the Evil Cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Sect had also joined in.

"Junior Nephew Chen, your Swift Travel Spirit Talisman is truly useful, but we cannot continue. My True Essence is insufficient. Let's switch to a second-grade top-quality Spirit Boat, which Junior Nephew Chen, my sixth brother, and my clan uncle will take turns driving!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Although Chen Yan was worried, he did as instructed.

The residual power of the third-tier Spirit Talisman hadn't been fully used up when it was affixed to the second-tier top-grade Spirit Boat.

Of course, even so, the speed still dropped significantly.

However, Chen Yan felt somewhat at ease knowing that Ye Jingcheng had landed in the Spirit Boat room and started consuming spirit pills and absorbing Spirit Stones to restore his True Essence.

He knew that he still had to rely on Ye Jingcheng on this journey.

After all, even a half-step Purple Mansion can easily kill Foundation Establishment.

The difference between great realms is not just a difference of one or ten.

"Ahead, a Bandit Cultivator destroyed a Spirit Herb Garden; it seems to belong to the Wu Family of Returning Goose Commandery!"

"What was destroyed was the Spirit Mountain of the Yunhe Zhou Families."

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun introduced themselves.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"They only have four Foundation Establishment: two Foundation Establishment Late Stage, two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and the two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators are injured!!" Chen Yan added.

If the Zhou Family hadn't been wiped out, he wouldn't be like this.

However, the Zhou Family had already been wiped out.

The Zhou Family's wealth naturally fell into the hands of the Wu Family.

"Senior Brother Chen!" Ye Jingli looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan then looked towards Spirit Boat's room:

"Uncle Ye and his ilk are also thieving cultivators from the Green River Sect, they deserve to die! I wonder what Uncle Ye's intentions are...?"

"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a single word.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan unleashed another second-tier Spirit Talisman, greatly increasing the speed of the Spirit Boat as it hurtled towards the Wu Family!

"Brothers, the credit is here!" However, to their surprise, the Foundation Establishment from the Wu Family also shouted the same thing.

Moreover, instead of retreating, they advanced.

Clearly, they were unaware that the Ye Family had already become Purple Mansion Lineage.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun immediately released the Crimson Flame Scale Python and two Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. In addition, Chen Yan also released his Law Artifact.

He was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, so his goal was to become a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator from the Wu Family.

He used the Taiyi Sect's Azure Origin Sword Art very carefully, employing a total of three Azure Origin Swords and a golden shield.

Clearly, the attack wasn't planned before the defense was.

Ye Jingcheng was also observing all of this from inside the room.

"You Ye Family are courting death!" The Foundation Establishment Late Stage from the Wu Family roared angrily, wielding a Blood Blade and slashing at the Crimson Flame Scale Python.

Sparks flew as he slashed, but he couldn't break through; instead, the Crimson Flame Scale Python spewed out flames.

This left him in a very awkward situation.

Ye Xingqun's opponent wasn't as strong as Ye Jingli's.

Just then, a third-tier Azure Swan Sword flew out.

The sword light surged, moving at incredible speed. Two of them, both at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, died before they could even activate more Law Treasures.

The difference between third-order and second-order is simply too great.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in dire straits: one was held back by Chen Yan, while the other was severely injured by two Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Insects.

With the help of the other cultivators from the Ye Family, they were quickly routed.

"Leave the two behind!" Ye Jingcheng said at that moment.

It also activated the Adamantine Vine seeds, binding together a Foundation Establishment and a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Furthermore, the spiritual platform that Foundation Establishment was instantly shattered by the Adamantine Vine.

"Nephew Chen, their Green River Sect must cover all the Lineage in Taichang Commandery. I will now search their souls to find the best route to Taichang Commandery!" Ye Jingcheng pulled the two living cultivators back into the Spirit Boat room.

"Sixth Brother, give 20% of the treasures to Junior Nephew Chen, and prepare the other 40% for the sect!" Ye Jingcheng added.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yan's previously calm expression immediately turned to one of immense joy.

Although it's only 20%, it's a combined 20% from the Zhou Family and Wu Families.

Another 40% needs to be handed over to the sect, and that's also thanks to him.

In other words, the Ye Family only kept 40% of the resources, and the Spirit Stones in that portion were enough for him to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He naturally forgot all his previous displeasure.

"Patriarch, there are still Zhou Family cultivators captured in the Wu Family's Spirit Beast pouch!" Ye Jingli suddenly spoke up while examining the Spirit Beast pouch.
