Chapter 241: The Beginning of the Battle in Kisaragi City
Qingyun Sect area, Ruyue Market.
Ruyue Market is an important transportation hub between the Qingyun Sect base camp and the front line. A large number of healing pills, recovery pills, attack, defense and other spiritual talismans, and various spiritual tools must pass through here and be transported from the base camp in the rear to the front line.
The Qingyun Sect monks who were seriously injured by the magic cultivators using various strange methods such as curses and evil spirits on the front line were also sent back to the rear for recuperation through this place.
Of course, the front-line fighters and the casual cultivators who sneaked into the magic cultivators' territory to cause damage and then returned also came here to recuperate.
They would spend the rewards for the mission in this market, and at the same time, the spiritual stones and other resources looted from the magic cultivators' area would also be traded here.
This greatly stimulated the prosperity of this market. After all, war is the best way to plunder wealth, and Qingyun Sect also continued to harvest various spiritual objects by managing this market.
Almost all the independent cultivators were sent to the front line, eliminating the security risks in the rear, and a trading market was established to harvest the spiritual objects they looted through the war.
And just in case, the foundation-building cultivators among them were forcibly recruited to the front battlefield, and the remaining Qi-refining cultivators were moved outside the core formation of the market, so that even if there was a riot, it would be enough to suppress it.
There are three such markets.
Qingyun Sect can be said to have calculated almost everything, but because of the unequal information intelligence and the difficulty in understanding the full picture of the external blood demon forces, it still buried a huge hidden danger.
And this huge hidden danger is about to erupt, but the cultivators in the market are not aware of it.
Ruyue Market, on a beautiful attic.
There are spiritual lights emitting defensive formations everywhere, and there are also condensed breaths, like the defense of Qi-refining cultivators who have experienced hundreds of battles.
In an antique room, Xu Mengyun, who was dressed in a purple palace dress, had a dignified and elegant temperament, and was sitting on a golden chair, listening to the report of the person in front of her.
In front of her was Liu Qiqiang, who was somewhat wealthy, wearing a set of glittering defensive spiritual weapons, and had an indescribable wealth of the immortal world.
The aura of the two was deep and condensed, far beyond that of more than 20 years ago. Obviously, they had reached the foundation-building stage.
At this moment, Liu Qiqiang was standing respectfully and reporting to Xu Mengyun.
"Sister, just yesterday, the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate brought in a total of 2,725 Qi Gathering Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, Explosion Blood Pills and other kinds of pills, 150,000 newly mined low-grade spirit stones, and 271 standard defensive spirit tools..."
"Where are the spirit talismans?" Xu Mengyun interrupted Liu Qiqiang's speech and asked what she was most concerned about, "How many spirit talismans are there?"
"...Only more than 1,900."
Hearing this number, Xu Mengyun could not help but fall silent.
Now the front line needs spirit talismans the most. The various districts have urged them, the cultivators who manage logistics, countless times.
Because the biggest problem faced in the war with the Xuanyin Sect is the opponent's endless and terrifying corpse tide.
Even if all the cultivators in all regions of the Qingyun Sect were gathered together, excluding those used for production, hiding in the rear to command, and those who went deep into the opponent's territory to cause damage, there would be only about 70,000 cultivators who could be put on the front line for defense.
But the Xuanyin Sect's demon cultivators were so crazy that they kept spreading the terrifying corpse poison in their territory, and used the cemetery for continuous transformation, and piled up nearly a million corpses.
Even though they tried their best to stop them, they were still at a disadvantage.
The Qingyun Sect cultivators generally used three methods to deal with these zombies.
The first was the cultivator's own magic, the second was a war method with a terrifying killing range based on formations and large spiritual tools, and the third was spiritual talismans.
For the first type, the cultivator's internal qi was limited, and he had to rest and recover after fighting for a period of time.
For the second type, the consumption of spiritual energy was too large, and it could not be easily started unless it was a large-scale war.
So comprehensively speaking, only spiritual talismans were applicable in wars of all sizes.
But even if the talisman maker was more skilled than other immortal cultivators, the number of people was still not enough compared to the needs of the war.
‘If only we could mass-produce talismans as Junior Brother said…’
Xu Mengyun frowned in annoyance and said helplessly: “I know, you go down first and find a way to get the talisman makers in the market to make more.”
“Yes…” Liu Qiqiang responded, but did not go down. Instead, he hesitated and said, “Senior Sister, please forgive me for asking, when will Senior Brother come back?”
“Hmm?” Xu Mengyun frowned after hearing this, “Why are you asking this?”
“After all, the current situation is getting worse and worse…” Liu Qiqiang hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, “If Senior Brother hadn’t come back to calm the situation, I’m afraid we would have to go to the battlefield soon.”
They were not the core figures of the three major factions of the sect. The reason why they could stay safe in the rear was because the Jindan Patriarch above arranged it for Lin Chen’s sake.
But as the war became more and more intense, if no one came back to support them, let alone being able to stay in the rear, I’m afraid even their safety would become a problem.
Xu Mengyun looked at him quietly for a while, and finally said: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Lin will soon..."
"Ahhh!"
At this time, waves of screams filled with fear broke through the sky and rushed into the room.
"What happened?"
The two of them were stunned, walked to the window together, and looked out.
Then, they saw black spots one after another rising from outside the city.
Black spots? No! This is not a black spot, but...
After seeing everything in the distance clearly, the two people's eyes suddenly shrank, and their hearts trembled. An extreme fear enveloped their whole bodies, and there was an indescribable feeling of coldness in their hands and feet.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky in Fangshi gradually darkened.
It wasn't like the darkness after dark, but more like something covering the sky, blocking the sunlight from the bright sun above.
A strange and cold darkness dispelled the warmth of the sun and continued to encroach on the sky, seeming to cover the entire city.
And if the monks in Fang City look up and take a closer look, the black spots floating in the sky are actually bloodless dead heads!
Fear, panic, disorder, and the constant urgent mobilization of monks in Fangshi... In the entire Fangshi, at this moment, order and panic coexist.
Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, as if a huge stone was pressing on their chest, and it seemed like a prelude to the coming storm.
"here we go……"
Outside Fangshi, on a hillside not far away, several monks in black robes stood there, looking down at Ruyue Fangshi where the heads began to rise.
If Lin Chen could come here and sense the auras of these people, he would definitely find that they were the demon cultivators who fought against Lin Chen at the place where the Transformation God fell.
In other words, they are the true disciples of the Xuanyin Sect today!
They actually sneaked into Qingyun Sect's territory in reverse direction!
"Using the original potential dark child as a medium, and using the third-level evil of the earth, the blood demon's placenta, and a semi-remnant golden elixir demon soul, and then allowing the flying elder to remotely control it, it was enough to give birth to an infinitely close golden elixir. The evil thing.”
At this time, the leading demon cultivator looked at this scene with a sneer on his face.
"Coupled with the blood sacrifices of nearly 10,000 monks, their power has been further enhanced, enough to destroy the three important strongholds behind the Qingyun Sect in one fell swoop." Behind him, a demon cultivator nodded, Then he said, "But senior brother, are we doing this too hastily?"
After saying that, he looked at the leading demon cultivator.
That was a man with long gray hair and a gloomy complexion. He was also the number one true disciple of the Xuanyin Sect in the current era—Ye Ming!
"It's better to start early, and our preparations are sufficient." Ye Ming looked at Ruyuefang City, which was in panic, and saw bright auras rising, and huge second-order formations turning.
"Besides, a few days ago, Patriarch Taiyin has roughly confirmed that the three golden elixirs of Qingyun Sect are suspected to have been involved in a lot of energy because of the breakthrough of the old ghost Qingyang. Now is the best time for us to take action!" Ye Ming said with a stern expression.
"Old ghost Qingyang?!" As soon as he said this, the expressions of the demon cultivators behind him changed greatly, and some even said quickly, "Is it possible that that old guy can really break through the Nascent Soul?!"
"I don't know, but I can't rule out this possibility." Ye Ming's face was expressionless, "So now, we must launch the final battle in advance and eliminate all possibilities in one fell swoop."
"So..." Ye Ming raised his head and looked at the more and more floating heads in the sky above Fang City. He said with an extremely cold face, "The final battle begins now."
At this moment, the sky in Fangshi was already shrouded in dense crowds of heads, and the demon cultivators hiding in the dark were also taking this opportunity to carry out unknown conspiracies.
After decades of undercurrents and years of war fighting, amid such constant calculations and battles, the final war finally kicked off today!
