Taking advantage of the night, the group concealed their presence and adjusted their state.
When it was almost dawn, Wan Xun opened his eyes and roused the others.
"Everyone, we’ll temporarily divide into two squads. I’ll lead six people to engage the Tribulation Cultivators in the stockade."
"The rest, activate the periter array and don’t linger—join us swiftly!"
With that, Wan Xun led several cultivators towards Jade Belt Stockade, Lin Chen among them.
The remaining Array Masters stayed at the periter to activate the large array.
The group moved swiftly towards the depths of Jade Belt Mountain.
As the sky lightened, the thick forest remained dim and overshadowed.
The seven moved quickly, making no noise at all.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at a high ground.
Lin Chen looked down; several dozen yards away stood a stockade nestled against the mountain.
Half of the stockade lay among rocks, hard to see yet highly concealed.
Under the probe of Divine Sense, Lin Chen felt the stockade’s complex cave terrain, winding and indistinct.
"Senior Brother Wan, when do we strike?"
A Foundation Establishnt disciple glanced at the stockade, spotting patrolling Tribulation Cultivators, then looked away and asked softly.
"Wait a bit longer... once the outer array is activated, we’ll strike!"
Wan Xun remained calm, his gaze fixated in the direction of the sentry array.
After about half a quarter of an hour, suddenly the ground shook.
Ten miles away, a brown light rose among the forest.
Earth veins shifted; the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array activated!
Simultaneously, smoke erged from the four sentry posts within Jade Belt Mountain.
Seeing this, Wan Xun wasted no ti, decisively announcing:
"Fellow disciples, charge with !"
With his words, he summoned a broad sword, True Essence directing it into the air.
Sixteen bright flying swords unsheathed behind him, dozens of Sword Qi danced chaotically in the air, charging into the Qi Refining Tribulation Cultivators of the stockade.
"What a skillful Sword Control Technique!"
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
This Wan Xun was a True Spirit Root cultivator from the Sword Peak lineage, hailed as the successor of the next Sect Leader.
Also, a prominent figure among the younger generation of Changchun Sect, his swordsmanship alone was extraordinary.
"Let’s go together!"
Simultaneously, the other six, including Lin Chen, joined in.
Swords, mirrors, talismans rain down like a storm.
The seven Foundation Establishnt cultivators suspended in mid-air, launched an offensive against the Tribulation Cultivators below.
In rely a few breaths, dozens of Qi Refining Stage Tribulation Cultivators t their end in misery.
But the remaining Tribulation Cultivators quickly reacted.
"Hurry, go find the chief and activate the array..."
"The rest, join in formation to face the enemy!"
The Tribulation Cultivators in Jade Belt Mountain were no rabble; after losing dozens, the remaining regrouped and swiftly reacted.
Several Tribulation Cultivators hurriedly ran towards the cave behind, preparing to initiate the Mountain Protection Array.
The rest followed a Foundation Establishnt cultivator to jointly resist the enemy.
"Damn it, causing trouble while I’m on guard, you’re really blind!"
The speaker was a brawny man nearly two ters tall, muscles bulging, with a knife scar a foot long across his face.
This man was the fourth leader of Jade Belt Mountain, Third Layer of Foundation Establishnt cultivation!
He took out a purple banner from his waist and planted it before him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As his, and twenty-plus Qi Refining Tribulation Cultivators’ True Essence was imbued.
A purple smoke billowed, covering half the mountain gate.
Within the purple smoke ca the sound of ghostly wails...
The techniques unleashed by the Foundation Establishnt disciples entered the purple smoke and were largely devoured, significantly diminishing their power.
"This is... Purple Smoke Ghost Banner!"
"Brothers, quickly help break this Magical Treasure!"
Wan Xun’s expression changed slightly; he hadn’t expected the Tribulation Cultivators of Jade Belt Mountain to have such deep reserves.
The Purple Smoke Ghost Banner was a commonly used Treasure Artifact by Evil Cultivators, summoning Purple Smoke Evil Ghost by injecting True Essence.
It could devour techniques and divine abilities, extrely troubleso.
Wan Xun urged the flying swords in the sky, slashing out dozens of Sword Qi, which was swallowed by the Purple Smoke Ghost.
anwhile, the other Foundation Establishnt disciples’ Fire Attack, Water Inundation, Wind Roll techniques were intercepted by the Purple Smoke Ghost.
"This Purple Smoke Ghost is truly vexing..."
Lin Chen frowned slightly, having used his mid-Foundation Establishnt True Essence to slash out several Sword Qi, yet achieving little effect.
After an initial setback, failing to break through the mountain gate in one go, the surrounding Foundation Establishnt disciples were sowhat panicked.
"Attack quickly! Everyone together! Otherwise, once Jade Belt Mountain’s reinforcents arrive, we’ll be in trouble!"
With this, the rhythm of the group’s techniques was disrupted, failing to unite their strength.
The Purple Smoke Evil Ghost grew larger, nearly covering the entire mountain gate.
Seeing this, Wan Xun demonstrated the deanor of a senior disciple.
He spoke solemnly:
"Brothers, I’ll now unleash Vast Sword Qi, help with your strength!"
"This Purple Smoke Ghost Banner may be sinister, but they are rely Qi Refining Stage... can’t hold us back!"
With those words, Wan Xun summoned another sixteen flying swords.
He slashed out over a dozen Sword Qi soaring towards the sky.
The Sword Qi condensed in the air, not dispersing, nor heading towards the evil ghost.
"Now’s the ti!" Wan Xun prompted.
The other Foundation Establishnt disciples cooperated, channeling True Essence, infusing Sword Qi into the sky’s Vast Sword Qi.
With their joint True Essence infusion, the Vast Sword Qi transford from illusion to substance, gradually materializing.
Ultimately forming a golden broad sword ten yards long.
"A bit of Haoran Qi in my heart, slay demons evil to accord with my will!"
Speaking softly, Wan Xun guided the Vast Sword Qi to strike at the Purple Smoke Evil Ghost.
Boom!
The golden sword light entwined with the purple smoke.
But ultimately, the True Essence of Foundation Establishnt was superior!
