Attacking Qingyang Mountain
The second formation is the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword Aura Formation, which requires seven Purple Mansion, forty-nine Foundation Establishment, and four thousand nine hundred Qi Refining Cultivator working together to activate.
Once activated, its power is comparable to a strike from the Peak Golden Core stage, and it is in no way weaker than the Dark-Mystic Heavenly Aura.
The third formation is the Crimson-Eyed Demon Gaze. Although its power is not as great as the first two, it only requires a thousand cultivators and one Purple Mansion cultivator to activate. Its power is also barely equivalent to Golden Core realm cultivator's attack. The advantage of this technique is that it can be released continuously.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Python Demon King's most powerful technique Heavenly Python Devours-Heaven Art, was not stored away; otherwise, the ship's power would have been even greater.
The final array Principle is the Essence-Gathering Formation, which is the core of this treasure ship and the source of its energy.
In addition to these, there are various other formations such as floating formations and flying formations, but they are all only at the level of Tier 3 Formation.
It must be said that this large treasure ship truly deserves to be called a war treasure. It can carry tens of thousands of cultivators at a time and can travel 30,000 miles in a day. It is definitely a powerful weapon on large battlefields.
Of course, such large Treasure Ship are also gold-devouring behemoths. Even if they are fully charged with the energy stored in them by Tier 4 Spirit Vein, they can often only support one all-out battle.
However, if Spirit Stone are used to activate it, then each activation of the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Sword Aura will consume 100,000 Spirit Stone. Firing two shots is equivalent to throwing away a Tier 3 High-grade Law Artifact, which shows how high the consumption is.
In order to transport the cultivators from Yu Commandery, Jiang Linglong sailed the Treasure Ship over and landed in front of Qingyuan Mountain.
"Quickly board the Treasure Ship."
Chen Nianzhi glanced at the Chen Clan cultivators behind him and gave the order.
He had barely finished speaking when he flew onto the Treasure Ship, standing shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Linglong as they watched the Chen Clan cultivators boarding below.
"How's the situation?"
"I've been there five times already, and all the manpower has been transported to Azure Province. This is the last ship."
Jiang Linglong smiled and said that the Heavenly Python Treasure Ship could transport tens of thousands of cultivators at a time, and it had sent 50,000 people in just five trips.
With the addition of cultivators from Azure Province, the manpower for this battle is almost complete.
More than a thousand Chen Clan cultivators quickly boarded the Treasure Ship. The cultivators on board activated the formation, and the Treasure Ship began to fly towards Azure Province.
At the speed of Tier 4 Low-Grade large treasure ship, it flew more than 200,000 li in just seven or eight days and arrived at the territory where Azure Sun Sect was located.
At the Azure Sun Mountain, Chen Nianzhi also saw where the army of cultivators was stationed.
At this moment, a total of 70,000 to 80,000 cultivators have gathered in the camp, including more than 300 Foundation Establishment cultivators. It can be said that the Three Provinces have gone all out.
In order to completely eradicate the malignant tumor that Azure Sun Sect, many immortal clans have almost all come out, leaving only one Foundation Establishment cultivator to guard the Lineage. Chen Nianzhi's ship was one of the last batch of cultivators to arrive.
After arriving at the camp, Jiang Linglong summoned all the Purple Mansion cultivators aboard the Treasure Ship for a meeting.
After exchanging greetings, Jiang Linglong looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, what is the current situation of the Azure Sun Sect?"
Xu Ganyang to the side, said with a grave expression, "The Azure Sun Sect is currently besieged on Azure Sun Mountain, seemingly determined to fight to the death."
"They still have this determination?"
Chen Nianzhi frowned. He didn't believe that people like Wei Chongyang would be willing to fight to the death for their sect.
Patriarch Qian shook his head. As a Purple Mansion cultivator from Azure Province, he knew the Azure Sun Sect best. He said, "Patriarch Mo and Liu Patriarch grew up in the Azure Sun Sect. They may not be very loyal to Xu Patriarch."
"But they have a centuries-old affection for the Azure Sun Sect. Now that the two of them are in charge, I'm afraid even if others have ulterior motives, they might not be able to escape."
Jiang Linglong frowned, then asked, "How are Origin Mountain and Dawnbright Valley now?"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Both Origin Mountain and Dawnbright Valley were Tier 3 High-grade Spirit Vein, each with a top- Tier 3 High-grade Earth Vein beneath them.
Because the array formations of the two Spirit Vein are powerful, the Azure Sun Sect Spirit Vein unwilling to give them up, hoping to use them to weaken the strength of the various Lineage.
Patriarch Qian was prepared, and upon hearing this, he said, "Wei Chongyang is in charge of Origin Mountain, and Lin Dawnbright Valley Lin Mohe."
"Before attacking Azure Sun Mountain, these two Earth Vein still need to be removed."
"Otherwise, we will not only be in danger of being attacked from both sides, but we may also allow them to breach the Lineage dojos of the major Lineage in the rear."
Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, then she spoke calmly.
Chen Nianzhi frowned upon hearing this. Both of them had Karmic Retribution with the Chen Clan. Lin Mohe had once used his power to oppress others, and the Lin Clan had been destroyed by the Chen Clan.
However, this person did not cause trouble for the Chen Clan afterward, which shows that he was aware of his own status.
Wei Chongyang not only killed the former patriarch of the Chen Clan, but also forced all of the Lineage's hundred cultivators to perish. Coupled with the hatred of killing his son, the two had to settle their score.
With this in mind, Chen Nianzhi decided to volunteer. "I'll take the Purple Mansion Border Province and Foundation Establishment cultivators from Origin Mountain."
Jiang Linglong glanced at him, handed him a Tier 3 High-grade Restriction-Breaking Precious Talisman, and said, "Be careful."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and then put away the Treasure Talisman.
The array formation on Origin Mountain is Bu Fan powerful; even ordinary cultivators at the false False Core realm would likely find it difficult to breach.
In this battle, Chen Nianzhi and Xu Ganyang joined forces, leading six Purple Mansion warriors from the Border Province, along with dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators, determined to conquer Origin Mountain in one fell swoop.
Patriarch Qian and Patriarch Fang went to Dawnbright Valley Dawnbright Valley together, determined to conquer it in one fell swoop.
As for Jiang Linglong, she joined the main force in surrounding Azure Sun Mountain, firstly to prevent the Azure Sun Sect's Purple Mansion cultivators from launching a full-scale attack, and secondly to prevent Xu Patriarch from suddenly appearing.
Chen Nianzhi led the group to Origin Mountain Origin Mountain, only to find it deserted; Wei Chongyang was nowhere to be found.
Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but frown as she found Qian Xingming scavenging for supplies on the mountaintop.
This person is a Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator from the Qian Clan. He had just broken through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage a year ago after consuming the Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill.
Upon seeing this person looting supplies, who didn't seem to have been in a fight, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but ask.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, you're in charge of surrounding Origin Mountain, but what about Wei Chongyang now?"
"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen! Come, come, come and see the treasures I've seized!"
Seeing Chen Nianzhi approaching, Qian Xingming smiled and said.
Chen Nianzhi frowned, and Xu Ganyang, who was standing beside him, said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, military affairs are of utmost importance."
"I'm asking you a question."
Qian Xingming an awkward smile and quickly said, "That Wei Chongyang actually fled without a fight, and his speed was so fast that even I couldn't catch up with him."
Chen Nianzhi's gaze turned slightly cold, and she turned around to lead everyone to inspect the Subterranean Fire Vein at the foot of the mountain.
After a while, Chen Nianchuan walked over from the side and whispered to the group.
"Wei Chongyang fled for his life three hours ago."
"Qian Xingming was unwilling to fight Wei Chongyang to the death, so he let him go after exchanging a few blows with him."
Only then did everyone realize that Wei Chongyang was at the Sixth Purple Mansion Layer and possessed a Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure.
However, Qian Xingming was unwilling to risk serious injury in a bloody battle with him, and surprisingly released Wei Chongyang after only a few moves.
Upon hearing that Wei Chongyang was being let go so easily, everyone's gaze turned cold, and they felt a surge of anger.
If they release the tiger back into the mountains today, Wei Chongyang might come looking for trouble again in the future. On the contrary, Qian Clan has done Wei Chongyang a favor.
"This Qian Xingming..."
Chen Nianzhi glanced at the mountain peak and said calmly:
"Do you have any tracking methods to find Wei Chongyang's whereabouts?"
