However!
When Cheng Yan’s gaze fell upon the three late Third-Order Wolf Kings behind the Beast Tide, who were eyeing fiercely and ready to strike at any mont, his heart couldn’t help but sink.
"This battle is perilous!"
"Junior Brother Han Zhan’s cultivation is no match for Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao, and he’s currently entangled with him, having set up an Array by utilizing the advantages of terrain and harmony of people. He will definitely not be able to lend us a hand."
"So, we can only delay."
"Delay until the Defensive Array takes effect!"
"Delay for the Sword Hall’s cultivators to return!"
...
Thousands of miles away to the southwest from the base camp.
Two battles, one large and one small, were unfolding intensely.
The larger battle was The Seven Sects cutting through mountains to besiege Extre Emperor Mountain.
The smaller one involved over a hundred Sword Hall cultivators launching a surprise attack on the reinforcents of Ao Xiao Wolf Court.
The latter battle erupted swiftly.
And ended just as rapidly!
With a dazzling sword light sweeping across the battlefield and eradicating the last Third-Order Demon Wolf, the ambush was over.
Wei Wuya, a Late Golden Core Stage cultivator, stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Friend Linghu, our mission is accomplished. Shall we next assist the Star Moon Temple?"
As he spoke, the rest of the Sword Hall cultivators also turned their gazes toward him.
As the elite force of this open war,
The Sword Hall of the Nine Sects comprised elite mbers from the Nine Great Nascent Soul Sects and several Golden Core Great Sects.
There were over a dozen Golden Core experts among them,
and no fewer than a hundred experts at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Such a force could play a decisive role at a critical mont.
If they joined the battle at Extre Emperor Mountain,
the siege that had lasted for days could be taken down with ease.
Linghu Jie, upon hearing this suggestion, was sowhat tempted.
As the leader of the Sword Hall, he had the authority to take initiative and act decisively without delay.
It was possible to help.
Especially since Star Moon Temple had a good relationship with Luo Yun Sect.
Helping them take down Extre Emperor Mountain would allow them to beco a vassal state, completely legitimate.
Just like the relationship between Yu Ding Sword Sect and Fla Alliance in the past.
Just as he was about to make a decision, his gaze suddenly shifted, looking down at the ground.
Whoosh!
A streak of yellow light burst from the ground, heading straight for him.
Qi Power surged through the air.
Linghu Jie caught the yellow light while raising his hand to stop the movents of everyone else.
"Don’t worry, it’s a Voice Transmitting Puppet from my Luo Yun Sect."
Everyone relaxed and looked over to see that it was a small yellow pangolin.
Although tiny in form, its Order was exceedingly high, at the Third-Order Stage!
Wei Wuya exclaid, "Using a Xuan Huang pangolin as a Voice Transmitting Puppet, your Sect is indeed extravagant!"
Linghu Jie gave a faint smile and released a Dao Law thod.
The yellow pangolin, as if it had received a password, chirped and opened its mouth.
The voice was shrill, but the tone was unmistakably that of a human, albeit a little rushed.
"The Sect is in trouble, return imdiately!"
Linghu Jie’s expression darkened instantly.
The base camp, rather than saying it was the allied forces’ base camp, it was more appropriate to say it was Luo Yun Sect’s base camp.
The other Sects were dispersed and stationed elsewhere.
Which ant that Luo Yun Sect and the Sword Hall were both stationed near Thousand Leaves Peak.
Now with the Sword Hall dispatched, nearly ninety percent of the people who remained were disciples of Luo Yun Sect.
Taking into account those Golden Core cultivators who were spread out to Moon-Breaking Immortal City and other places, there were less than ten Golden Core cultivators from Luo Yun Sect left behind!
The ssage of "The Sect is in trouble" coming now implied sothing that he understood better than anyone else.
The others, upon hearing this phrase, also looked at each other in dismay.
Lin Qingxuan frowned, "No wonder the reinforcents sent out by Wolf Court this ti were so easily defeated; they were rely a decoy!"
Wei Wuya nodded in agreent, "The transford Demon Beasts are in no way less intelligent than us of the Human Clan. Last ti they used Extre Emperor Mountain as bait to ambush the Sword Hall cultivators. This ti, they simply lured our Sword Hall out and focused their attack on our base camp. They aim for a direct strike at our heart!"
Nalan Feng of Liu Sen Study voiced his confusion, "But isn’t True Master Han stationed at the base camp? How dare they?"
How dare they?
Isn’t the answer simple?
Naturally, it ant that an expert of the sa Order had personally taken action.
Without any hesitation and a grave expression, Linghu Jie waved his hand grandly.
"Forget about clearing the battlefield."
"Everyone, follow to aid Thousand Leaves Peak!"
"I, Luo Yun Sect, will surely compensate for any losses afterward!"
At his command, he took the lead in dashing out.
The others quickly followed suit, no longer caring about the spoils scattered on the ground.
Linghu Jie was at the forefront, anxious as a blaze.
"I can only hope the Sect can hold on and not suffer too many casualties!"
...
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill all these humans!"
"Roar!!!"
On the battlefield, the wolf howls sounded like roaring waves, unceasing and unrelenting.
The cries of the Lower-Order Disciples of Luo Yun Sect were just as constant, though they had turned into wails of agony.
One after another, the usually precious Puppets were being ruthlessly destroyed under the attacks of larger groups of Demon Beasts.
Within the brief monts of combat, the casualties among the Low-Order Cultivators had grown alarmingly.
And if it were just that, it would have been bearable.
However, even among the battles of High-Order Cultivators, the scales of victory were gradually tipping.
Boom!
A Third-Order Puppet self-destructed!
The powerful shockwave swept in all directions, killing not just an early-stage Third-Order Demon Wolf but also taking with it scores of Low-Order Demon Beasts.
Of course, in the process, Sect Disciples of Luo Yun Sect were also mistakenly killed in no small number.
"Disciples, forgive ."
A Golden Core Ascendant Master of Luo Yun Sect, his face ashen, muttered to himself, filled with a sense of guilt.
