Regret: The Invaders Annihilated
With each word spoken, the swordplay grew more ferocious.
Yin Zhongqiu was overwhelmed and could hardly breathe, feeling both shocked and regretful.
He regretted it.
Had he known Li Yunjing was so strong, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Cang Province even if he had a hundred lives.
But there's no going back.
"The Luozhen Sect will not have a good end, the Immortal Lord will not let you off!" Yin Zhongqiu roared through gritted teeth.
Li Yunjing's eyes turned cold.
"You talk too much nonsense."
With a flick of his wrist, the sword's momentum suddenly shifted.
"Taiyi Sword Instruction - Qingwei Return to Origin"
Countless multicolored sword lights instantly converged and condensed into a single point.
The sword tip lightly touched Yin Zhongqiu's brow.
puff.
The sword light pierced through his body.
Yin Zhongqiu's movements came to an abrupt halt, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body fell straight backward.
Yin Zhongqiu, the leader of the Daozhen Sect, has passed away.
Li Yunjing sheathed his sword and scanned the entire arena with his gaze.
"Not a single member of the Daozhen Sect will be spared."
The cold, impersonal command echoed across the entire battlefield.
"Kill!!!"
The disciples of the Luozhen Sect, who had been holding back their energy for a long time, immediately launched a full-scale attack upon hearing this.
Fang Hexuan, Mu You, and the others each exerted their strength and killed the Daozhen Sect elder who was entangled.
Disciples like Chu Han, Zhou Tong, and Ye Chen charged into the enemy ranks like wolves and tigers, sweeping all before them.
The Daozhen Sect was leaderless; the sect leader and the Grand Elder were both dead, and the remaining elders were terrified and had no will to fight.
Some people turned and ran, while others threw down their Law Artifact and knelt down to surrender.
But Li Yunjing's order was to leave no one alive.
Surrendering won't help.
The battle did not last long.
Half an hour later, the battlefield gradually calmed down.
Five hundred Daozhen Sect cultivators, from the sect leader to ordinary disciples, were all killed. Not one escaped.
The earth was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong stench of blood.
The disciples of the Luozhen Sect sheathed their swords and stood there, looking tired but full of energy.
They won this battle.
And the victory was decisive and swift.
"Take a headcount of casualties," Mo Xuan ordered loudly.
Soon, the statistical results were reported.
On the Luozhen Sect, seventeen disciples were killed in battle, forty-three were seriously injured, and over a hundred were slightly injured. None of the elders or direct disciples perished.
Compared to the achievement of annihilating the enemy, the casualties were negligible.
"The seriously injured should be sent back to the sect immediately, Alchemy Chamber should do its best to treat them. The fallen disciples should use Spirit Stone to revive them in the Hall of Rebirth," Li Yunjing said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir."
After dealing with the post-war matters, everyone gathered in the temporary command tent.
Inside the main tent, Li Yunjing sat in the main seat, with the elders and his personal disciples arranged below him.
"Sect Leader, the Daozhen Sect's army has been wiped out, and Yin Zhongqiu is also dead. What should we do next?" Mo Xuan asked.
Li Yunjing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes sharp.
"Although Yin Zhongqiu is dead, the foundation of the Daozhen Sect remains. The headquarters of the Xuandu Mountain is a place where the Daozhen Sect has been operating for a long time and has a profound foundation."
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "What I mean is, we should press our advantage, march straight to Xuandu Mountain, completely annihilate the Daozhen Sect, and eliminate any future threat."
There was a moment of silence inside the tent, then everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yunjing is right! Daozhen Sect has a deep-seated hatred for us, and keeping them around will only bring trouble sooner or later!" Fang Hexuan was the first to agree.
"That's right! Let's take advantage of their current leaderlessness and catch them off guard!" Fang Tong said in a deep voice.
"But..." Shui Yao hesitated, "The Daozhen Sect headquarters has a protective array, and there might even be powerful experts there. If we attack rashly, wouldn't there be risks?"
"There are risks, of course," Li Yunjing said calmly, "But the opportunities are greater. With Yin Zhongqiu dead and Su Ming perished, the morale of the Daozhen Sect has plummeted, making them their weakest point. As for the hidden powerhouses..."
A slight smile played on his lips, "I have my own ways of dealing with this."
Seeing that their sect leader was confident, the others no longer hesitated.
"I will obey the sect leader's orders!"
"Alright." Li Yunjing nodded. "Junior Brother Mo, pass down the order: rest for half a day, and at the same time, send a message to the sect to have the fleet depart immediately and head to Xuandu Mountain in Flying Immortal Prefecture to rendezvous with us."
"A fleet?" Mo Xuan's eyes lit up. "Senior brother, are you referring to the fleet that was modified from the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat?"
"Good."
Li Yunjing stood up, walked to the map in the tent, and pointed to the location of Xuandu Mountain in Flying Immortal Prefecture: "Over the years, we have conquered the Chenwei Dao Realm and gathered many weapon-refining talents there."
Based on the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat I provided, they modified it into two types of warships: the Spirit Transformation class and the Dao Union class, totaling thirty-six ships, forming their first fleet.
"The warships are equipped with spirit cannons and array plates, integrating offense and defense. The main cannon of a Dao Union- level warship, when fired at full power, is comparable to a full-force attack from Dao Union Stage cultivator. If thirty-six ships fire simultaneously, even Void Refinement Stage would have to retreat."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
They only knew that the sect was secretly building a fleet, but they didn't expect it to have reached such a scale.
"With this fleet here, we're much more confident in attacking Xuandu Mountain!" Mo Xuan said excitedly.
"There's no time to lose," Li Yunjing said in a deep voice. "After resting, the main force will set off first to the outskirts of Xuandu Mountain to await orders. Once the fleet arrives, we will launch a general offensive immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Half a day later, the Luozhen Sect army finished its reorganization and set off for Flying Immortal Prefecture.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Luozhen Sect, in a hidden dock deep within the Azure Jiao Marsh.
Thirty-six enormous warships slowly rose into the air.
The three leading ships were the largest, with hulls thousands of feet long, cast entirely from spirit steel and engraved with offensive and defensive array patterns. They were equipped with huge main cannons at the bow, and were the main warships of the Dao Union Integration class.
The next thirty-three ships were slightly smaller, but still about 500 zhang long, and were Spirit Transformation- level escort ships.
The fleet took to the air, blotting out the sun.
The emblem of the Luozhen Sect the bow of the ship, shining brightly.
"By order of the sect leader, our destination is Xuandu Mountain in Flying Immortal Prefecture. Let's depart!"
The fleet commander gave the order.
Thirty-six warships simultaneously lit up with spiritual light, transforming into streaks of light as they sped towards Flying Immortal Prefecture.
Wherever the fleet passed, the cultivators below looked up in awe and awe.
"What's that? The Luozhen Sect's spaceship?"
"My God! So many?! That's incredible!"
"The Luozhen Sect actually has such a trump card? No wonder they dare to challenge the Daozhen Sect."
"..."
The news spread like wildfire through the states along its route.
The Luozhen Sect annihilated the invading Daozhen Sect and killed its leader, Yin Zhongqiu. Now, it has dispatched a fleet to directly attack the Daozhen Sect's headquarters.
The Tianyuan Five Provinces were shaken once again.
Everyone knows that after this battle, the landscape of Flying Immortal Prefecture will likely undergo a complete transformation.
Outside Xuandu Mountain.
Xuandu Mountain is located in the heart of Flying Immortal Prefecture, rich in Spiritual Qi and blessed with beautiful scenery. It is the foundation of the Daozhen Sect, which has been operating for thousands of years.
The mountain range consists of nine peaks, with the main peak soaring into the clouds. Palaces and pavilions are built against the mountain, resplendent in gold and jade, surrounded by an ethereal atmosphere.
The mountain is surrounded by a nine-layered protective array called the Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation, which was passed down from High Antiquity and is extremely powerful. It is said that no one below the Tribulation Transcendence can break it.
In the past, the area outside Xuandu Mountain was bustling with people, with cultivators coming and going in an endless stream to pay homage, visit friends, and trade.
But today, the area outside Xuandu Mountain is deathly silent.
The mountain gate was tightly closed, the grand formation was fully activated, and nine-colored spiritual light enveloped the entire mountain range, filling the air with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
At the foot of the mountain, countless cultivators who had heard the news gathered and watched from afar, discussing the matter animatedly.
"They're here! The people from the Luozhen Sect have arrived!"
Someone exclaimed softly, and everyone looked up at the horizon.
