Under such unfavorable circumstances, the morale of the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance collapsed rapidly.
Then a massive collapse began.
The Jin Household was the first to retreat, followed by the Wang Household, then the Great Buddha Temple... In the end, the entire battle line collapsed one after another, desperately fleeing to the rear.
Under Chen Shuangbai's leadership, the Clear Scenery Alliance naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to kick a man when he was down.
Every single one of them, anyone caught disobeying, will be executed immediately.
Those who knelt and surrendered... were temporarily detained.
In the sky, the battle between the Golden Core True Person was nearing its end.
True Person Lingguang and True Person Wang, both at the Middle Golden Core Stage, were only able to barely resist Old True Person He, who was at the Late Golden Core Stage, thanks to the Law Treasure bestowed upon High Person Jinke.
The bright sword light reached the sky and the earth, transforming into crisscrossing light dragons. Old True Person He, wielding a spiritual sword, forced the two to retreat step by step, and also made True Person Lingguang's Law Treasure crackle loudly, greatly losing its spiritual power.
In other words, this Old True Person He did not cultivate the Extreme Sword lineage, but the Law Sword lineage.
Otherwise, these two would probably have been beheaded within ten moves.
Even so, the two persevered, hoping to find an opening Old True Person He's Law Power waned and deliver a fatal blow.
True Person Lingguang felt extremely aggrieved.
He was filled with rage and wanted to vent it on the Jade Spring Sect, but he couldn't even get past Old True Person He. In addition, there was Shi Yan, who had surrendered to the Jade Spring Sect. Although Shi Yan's combat strength was not great, his demonic methods were disgusting.
Every now and then, out of nowhere, they'd do that once or twice... It was absolutely disgusting for the two of them!
True Person Lingguang could only take the beating, feeling extremely frustrated, and wanted to call on True Person Xuanguang to help him.
Even True Person Xuanguang is not immune to its own danger.
now.
His aura stirred the earth, drawing in the vast primordial energy of the land, which he poured into a Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact resembling a golden pagoda in his hand. This transformed into layers of light screens covering himself, while simultaneously, streaks of Snow Plum Sword Essence rained down, shattering him one by one.
True Person Mei cultivates the way of the sword, and all his offensive capabilities are above this Sword Essence. His own strength is above that of True Person Xuanguang.
She wasn't in a hurry, and simply kept up with the True Person Xuanguang, carefully controlling her power to avoid accidentally killing him and provoking the petty and shameless High Person Jinke to deal with her.
Even the True Person Xuanguang wasn't quite sure about their current state of mind.
He also wanted to help his cousin True Person Lingguang, but at the same time, he couldn't help but think of what happened that day, and resentment arose in his heart. In the end, he and True Person Mei were at an impasse.
Upon seeing the complete collapse of his own side, True Person Lingguang realized something was wrong and indeed tried to retreat.
How could Old True Person He allow him to return unscathed?
This elder of the Jing Kingdom's swordsmanship struck down with his sword, cleaving away the opponent's Law Treasure and also severing half of True Person Lingguang's arm, scattering golden blood all over the sky. The magical weapon, along with the Law Treasure, fell into the deep valley and vanished in a flash of golden light.
Old True Person He wasn't in a hurry to pick up the Law Treasure.
Because the true owner of that Law Treasure was High Person Jinke.
True Person Lingguang was merely a proxy holder.
Taking advantage of this critical moment, both True Person Xuanguang and True Person Wang decisively retreated.
True Person Mei did not stop them. Only Shi Yan, the True Person who had surrendered, took advantage of the situation to attack the two of them. With a flick of his sleeve, countless insects and beasts flew out. He had no real achievements to show for it and just wanted to annoy the two of them.
"This battle can be described as a great victory!"
Old True Person He had exceptional vision and foresaw the collapse of the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance long ago.
True Person Mei and True Person Shi gathered around him, congratulating him with smiles.
Old True Person He shook his head and said, "This is the joy of my Clear Scenery Alliance, not my personal joy."
Chen Shuangbai stood in the center of the battlefield, the Frost-Blue Sword Essence around him slowly receding and returning to the scabbard of the [ Foot-Long Silk ] sword.
The four Jin Household Foundation Establishment behind him, linked together by the [ Turning Heart Ruyi Cord ], were now ashen-faced, their previous arrogance completely gone.
The cultivators of the Clear Scenery Alliance are cleaning up the battlefield, collecting spoils of war, and gathering the surrendered cultivators of the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance under their custody.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood and burning, but every member of the Clear Scenery Alliance wore a triumphant expression.
Old True Person He, True Person Mei, and True Person Shi slowly descended and landed beside Chen Shuangbai.
Old True Person He glanced at the four prisoners behind Chen Shuangbai, squinted his eyes, and praised, "You deserve the greatest credit for this battle."
There are no more than three people in the entire Jing Kingdom who could receive praise from this old True Person.
Chen Shuangbai replied with a smile, "You flatter me True Person."
True Person Mei looked at Chen Shuangbai with a smile, clearly very satisfied with his talented disciple's performance.
Finally, the black-clad True Person Shi squinted at Chen Shuangbai, subconsciously recalling the days when Shi Xin Heart-Eroding Stronghold was still there, and how those Foundation Establishment compared themselves to him... It just goes to show, comparisons are odious.
The three Golden Core True Person were now looking at Chen Shuangbai with newfound respect.
But it wasn't just them; countless eyes across the battlefield were fixed on this prodigy from the Jade Spring Sect.
Lin Jingtao, Feiguang, Bai Yi, and several other familiar fellow disciples gathered around, all praising Chen Shuangbai's incredible prowess in defeating the opposing team. Feiguang, on the other hand, was somewhat jealous.
He tugged at Chen Shuangbai's robes and exclaimed, "Our lord is truly majestic!"
"But this time, you have to take me with you!"
Chen Shuangbai smiled but did not immediately agree.
Inside the main camp.
Chen Shuangbai led the prisoners of war in.
Under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen pairs of people, the four Foundation Establishment of the Jin Household obediently knelt before Old True Person He and the three Golden Core True Person, revealing everything they knew about the current state of the Spirit-Seeking Sect.
But when asked about some key information, the four of them seemed to have their mouths sewn shut, unable to say anything.
Everyone knew that it was most likely that a restriction had been placed on it.
Old True Person He didn't pay much attention to it, but instead ordered that they be Jin Household imprisoned and dealt with after everything settled down.
Immediately afterwards.
In front of everyone, Old True Person He personally awarded merit tokens and generous rewards to Chen Shuangbai and several other cultivators who had performed exceptionally well on the battlefield.
However, considering that this is wartime, the rewards have been converted into merit points, which they can exchange for themselves in the alliance's treasury.
Although...
It's called the alliance's treasury, but in reality, the vast majority of the treasures in the treasury were stuffed in by the Jade Spring Sect.
The entire Empty Sword Sect consists of sword cultivators and is notoriously poor.
No matter how much they try to cut costs and increase revenue, they still can't compare to the Jade Spring Sect.
Old True Person He also knew that he was now a henchman of the Jade Spring Sect, so he had no restrictions on taking money from the treasury. This was also a necessary sacrifice for the Jade Spring Sect to bring the Empty Sword Sect the fold.
