The ear-splitting sounds of explosions thundered through the clouds.
Pitiful wails echoed across the mountains.
Luo Chen’s gaze moved away from the direction of the Luo Yun Sect, and beside him was the voice of Chu Kui, excited yet calm.
"At the mont when we engage in close-quarters combat, the casualties will be the highest. There’s no need for us to rush; let the Four Sects Affiliates charge ahead."
"We’ll head to the flank first, and then find a good opportunity to reap extensively!"
Luo Chen grunted in agreent.
Following behind Chu Kui, he navigated through the void, steering the winds and clouds towards the battlefield’s flank.
The two maintained an extrely calm state of mind, unaffected by the fierce shouts and surging Spirit Qi intertwining right before their eyes.
As Luo Chen took his steps,
A gaze from behind him in the night sky followed his figure closely.
"Sister, the little man you found seems to be a bit ungrateful!"
A clear voice like a bell reached their ears.
The Jueqing Fairy didn’t turn her head back, completely ignoring the sarcasm in her words, and coldly said, "If he wants to make a na for himself, can you and I really stop him?"
Ascendant Master Yin Yue was montarily taken aback and pursed her lips.
Now that Luo Chen had been hired as a Guest Elder by the Ice Castle, in terms of status, he was on the sa level as them and was not subject to conscription.
If he wished to fight on the front line, she and Jueqing really had no right to intervene too much.
"Still, we should keep a close eye on this lad!"
"If he really suffers any damage, it’ll be hard for both of us to explain to the Supre Elder when we return."
The Jueqing Fairy coldly said, "There’s no need for you to say more; I am well aware. You’d better manage the upcoming battle arrangents instead. If too many of our Sect’s disciples suffer losses, not just your Sect Leader sister, but even you will not be able to handle the consequences."
Ascendant Master Yin Yue huffed and withdrew her Divine Consciousness, no longer paying attention to Luo Chen’s movents.
This war was not just about taking the Seventh Mountain!
The Eighth Mountain was also their target.
While it would not be an accomplishnt in a single stroke, they at least needed to capture four mountains to regain a balanced position.
Otherwise, the Luo Yun Sect would not have decided to send the full might of their army.
...
At the base of the flank of the Seventh Mountain.
A piece of flowing sand, pale gold in color.
This place was a rich source of the Second Order mineral material, Flowing Sand Fine Gold, and hence, even though it was the relatively safe flank, it was still protected.
The Que Blade Sect had been stationed here.
In the strictest sense, the Que Blade Sect, boasting a Late Stage Foundation Establishnt and three Early Stage Foundation Establishnt masters, was not a Sword Sect affiliate.
Their backer was the Sky Blade Sect, an affiliate of the Sword Sect.
After the war broke out, the Sky Blade Sect, with a Golden Core Ascendant Master, was called upon, and then they in turn summoned the Que Blade Sect.
This situation was sowhat similar to the Ice Castle enlisting the Luo Tian Creed, who then dispatched the head of their affiliate, the Qin Flower River Li Family—Li Yingzhang—to the battlefield.
The affiliate of an affiliate was not seen as an affiliate, yet they were still pawns indirectly controlled by others.
The only fortunate thing was that, since the start of the war, although the Que Blade Sect had sustained many injuries, their high-end combat power, the Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators, remained intact.
At this mont,
The Sect Leader of the Que Blade Sect, Xin Wu Hai, accompanied by his three disciples, gazed at the earth-shattering war erupting in the distance.
An unstoppable worry filled his eyes.
"Master, we..."
"No need for words, if the situation turns bad, we’ll break camp imdiately. Yulang, take people and leave first; De Zhu and the main force will follow and withdraw while fighting!"
"But won’t this offend the Sky Blade Sect?" Jiang Yulang couldn’t help but ask.
Xin Wu Hai sneered, "The Sky Blade Sect? They are already too busy to care for themselves. The Luo Yunzong Puppets just bombarded the Seventh Mountain with their cannons; the Sky Blade Sect bore the brunt of it, why should we care about them?"
"Even more so, if we win this battle and survive by luck, who’s to say that the Que Blade Sect can’t swallow up the Sky Blade Sect and beco a first-rate force?"
With these words,
He finalized the current decision and looked to the future.
He was definitely not one of short sight.
The three disciples behind him also praised him sincerely,
"Master has far-reaching vision!"
"We will follow Master’s orders carefully."
"Master, if you can obtain the Core Formation Secret Art offered by the Sword Sect, perhaps our Que Blade Sect might also produce a Golden Core Ascendant Master in the future!"
Just then,
Xin Wu Hai’s gaze snapped upwards.
"Scoundrels, show yourselves!"
As he shouted harshly, his palms behind his back made a motion.
Instantly, the three Early Stage Foundation Establishnt disciples quickly understood and retreated behind to prepare to activate the Second Order attack array.
Under Xin Wu Hai’s watchful eye, two figures stepped out from the night.
One wielded the Equal Heaven Stick, brimming with a fighting spirit.
The other held a long sword behind his back, his eyes sharp and piercing.
Seeing the two, Xin Wu Hai’s face drastically changed.
Ninth Level Foundation Establishnt! Sixth Level Foundation Establishnt!
"Friends..."
Above in the sky, those two people completely ignored him.
"I’ll handle breaking the array, and that Late Stage Foundation Establishnt—leave it to !" Chu Kui spoke briefly.
Luo Chen grunted in response.
Without any further words,
The next mont, Chu Kui, wielding the Equal Heaven Stick, smashed it down from above.
Xin Wu Hai was filled with terror, but as he gritted his teeth, he did not back down; he summoned a great saber.
A saber light several tens of ters long burst forth to et the shadow of the Equal Heaven Stick.
Boom!
A single blow shook the ground for miles around.
Within the Flowing Sand campsite, many Late-Stage Qi Refinent Cultivators were directly knocked unconscious by the shock.
Seeing this, Xin Wu Hai roared angrily,
"I will fight you!"
"That’s what I want to hear!"
Chu Kui shouted excitedly, imdiately brandishing the long stick and chasing after Xin Wu Hai, who was sent flying, to continue the fight.
Glancing upward at the two figures in the sky, Luo Chen’s mind was as clear and cool as ice.
He proceeded step by step towards the Flowing Sand campsite.
His gaze was fixed on the array that was rapidly condensing a giant golden saber light.
