Chapter 845: Fifth Level of Yuanying

Zhang Zhixuan slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a blue spiritual light instantly seized the opportunity and pierced into the defensive shield.

Screams and exclamations suddenly sounded, and a thick bloody atmosphere enveloped the entire top of Konghuai Mountain.

The foundation-building and purple mansion cultivators guarding the formation had no power to resist the green flame needle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu Daolin and Xin Dongling, two Jindan cultivators stationed at Konghuai Mountain, were shocked and immediately flew towards the teleportation formation on the top of the mountain.

As soon as the two Jindan cultivators fled, the formation could not support it at all, and the defensive shield shattered instantly.

Zhang Zhixuan's escape light flashed, and he rushed into the sky above Konghuai Mountain in an instant.

One of the two used the wind escape technique, and the other used the earth escape technique, turning into two spiritual lights, frantically trying to escape.

Fu Daolin's cultivation was already in the late Jindan stage, and his escape speed was extremely amazing. In the blink of an eye, he arrived near the teleportation formation of Konghuai Mountain.

Just when Fu Daolin was about to activate the teleportation array, a sword light appeared out of thin air and instantly cut the man into two pieces. This late Jindan cultivator died in Zhang Zhixuan's hands in an instant, and the teleportation array also fell into Zhang Zhixuan's control.

"It's still unclear what is opposite this teleportation array. We have to wait for Qingchan to come and confirm it as soon as possible."

Fu Daolin was killed by Zhang Zhixuan with a sword, and the remaining Jindan cultivator Xin Dongling was immediately terrified. This person is different from Fu Daolin. He doesn't have many relatives in Yunxiao Sect. Facing the fear of death, this person immediately prostrated himself and said: "Junior is willing to surrender, please spare my life, spare my life!"

A Jindan cultivator is willing to surrender, although Zhang Zhixuan doesn't trust this person very much, and he won't kill easily.

Zhang Zhixuan took out a talisman and threw it gently, landing on Xin Dongling's head, restraining the man and saying: "Since you are willing to surrender, I will give you a chance to survive. You are sealed by the fifth-level immortal trap talisman, and your magic power can only be exerted by 30%. As long as I recite the spell, I can kill you from thousands of miles away.

There are still many cultivators on Konghuai Mountain. You go and persuade them to surrender. Many people died today. There is no need to bleed and die in vain. The vitality of the cultivators in the three counties can be preserved as much as possible."

Not long after Zhang Zhixuan captured Konghuai Mountain, the other Yuanyings also won as expected and captured the strategic locations of the three counties on the border of Qi State.

However, except for Qingchan and Liu Lingjun, who used their gods to pass through people and occupied the target cleanly. Liu Guyan and Xia Youqing delayed a little time, allowing a small number of Yunxiao Sect cultivators to escape back to the mountain gate through the teleportation array.

In this battle, four Jindan cultivators, thirteen Zifu cultivators, and more than 180 foundation-building cultivators from the Yunxiao Sect were killed, and two Jindan cultivators, nine Zifu cultivators, more than 200 foundation-building cultivators, and more than 10,000 Qi training cultivators were captured.

After occupying three border counties, Zhang Zhixuan gave an order and the cultivators of the Ziyang Sect were dispatched in large numbers.

Han Yan, who had just stabilized his realm, rushed into the border of Qi with a large number of Jindan and Zifu cultivators.

There were originally two countries, Chen and Fei, as buffers between Qi and Wu.

The development momentum of the Xuansu Sect was extremely fierce, no less than that of the current Ziyang Sect. Both Chen and Fei were supported by the sects of Qi to resist the invasion of Wu cultivators.

Although these two countries are close to the Ziyang Sect, they have always been vassals of the Yunxiao and Wuxing Sects of Qi.

Now that the Ziyang Sect and the Yunxiao Sect have fallen out, this small buffer country has suddenly lost its value and will immediately face the Ziyang Sect's military force.

Chen and Fei countries have eight or nine Jindan cultivators in total, which is a force of moderate size. However, facing the Ziyang Sect, which has mobilized all its forces, the forces of the two countries' immortal cultivation world are far from enough.

Under the leadership of Han Yan, in less than three months, the territories of the two countries were taken over by the Ziyang Sect. One-third of the high-level cultivators were killed or wounded, and most of the remaining ones escaped through the teleportation array. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, a small number of low-level cultivators fled their hometowns, and most of the cultivators surrendered to the Ziyang Sect.

When Han Yan brought reinforcements, the Ziyang Sect's Yuanying was preparing to continue the attack.

Unexpectedly, the Yunxiao Sect took the lead and completely retreated to the mountain gate, and immediately activated the mountain closure order.

At the same time, the five sects of Qi State also set out in one fell swoop and began to invade the territory of the Yunxiao Sect.

Ziyang Sect signed a peace agreement with the five sects of Qi State, so it was naturally impossible to attack the five sects.

Although Zhang Zhixuan did not like to see this situation, things could not be transferred according to his will after all. Once the Yunxiao Sect retreated comprehensively, the five sects of Qi State took action almost immediately.

Zhang Zhixuan and others tried their best to attack Yunxiao Sect, but they only managed to seize a market, two fifth-level spiritual veins, and two counties.

Qi State had a total of 36 counties, and Yunxiao Sect occupied 16 counties.

In this war, except for Yunling and Taiyuan counties, the remaining territories were all divided up by the six families of Ziyang Sect.

Ziyang Sect took action the earliest, dispatched the most Yuanying, and took down five more remote counties. The remaining nine counties were divided up by the five sects of Qi State, which were close at hand.

Even if they did not accomplish their mission, the five sects of Qi State got a big bargain. Ziyang Sect also got a lot of benefits. Not only did it swallow up the five counties of Yunxiao Sect, but the two vassal states of Chenfei were also annexed by Ziyang Sect.

These territories have a ready population of more than 60 million people, and the number of low-level cultivators exceeds more than 200,000, which is equivalent to 60% to 70% of the size of Ziyang Sect.

If these territories were taken intact, Ziyang Sect's annual income would increase significantly, and it could support more high-level people above the Jindan level.

However, Yunxiao Sect's decision to close the mountain made Ziyang Sect feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.

The counties that Yunxiao Sect gave up did not have sixth-level spiritual veins, and if they wanted to stabilize the newly occupied territories, they would not be able to do so without high-level cultivators guarding them.

In order to resist the sneak attack of Yunxiao Sect, the Yuanying guarding the new territory can only be Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan. Only when the two of them join forces can they resist the six Yuanying of Yunxiao Sect.

The two of them are in Qi State. If they want to improve their cultivation, they need at least twelve high-grade spirit stones a year.

Even if the resources of Qi State are integrated, it is still a bit tight for Ziyang Sect to take out twelve high-grade spirit stones every year. Unfortunately, this investment cannot be saved at all. Even if the sect has some difficulties temporarily, it needs to grit its teeth and support it. The delay of the cultivation of the two Yuanying ancestors has a more serious impact on Ziyang Sect.

The war was deadlocked. Yunxiao Sect Lingxiao Zhenren was determined to maintain stability. No matter how heavy the losses outside were, the sect leaders were determined to shrink and did not leave the mountain gate at all.

Ziyang Sect did not have a sixth-level formation-breaking bead, and it was even more impossible to break through the Yunxiao Sect mountain gate.

Time passed slowly, and fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past fifty years, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation has advanced to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul, and Qingchan's cultivation has also advanced to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul.

Seeing that the Demon Hunting Conference is approaching, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan suddenly have a headache. Once the two leave, it will be difficult for the remaining few Nascent Souls to withstand the counterattack of Ling Xiao Zhenren. And Zhang Zhixuan is a little unwilling to give up this Demon Hunting Conference.
