Chapter 1314: Chapter 683: Awe in the Heart
As Wu Chengfeng and his fellow disciples’ heads fell to the ground, the three remaining mbers of Tianqing Sect’s triad had all perished.
At this mont, the entire battlefield finally returned to peace for the first ti.
Led by Liang Shaoguang, the group of Golden Core Stage experts stared at Wu Chengfeng’s lifeless corpse, their excitent reaching an all-ti high.
Especially the Liang Family mbers—after enduring this grand-scale yet utterly tragic battle, they finally managed to navigate the calamity.
To achieve this outco, everyone present had been through a grueling ordeal.
After all, this battle, spanning over four years since its inception, was a long and arduous struggle.
During this extended period, the experts in the Liang Family camp participated in more than a dozen large and small-scale battles.
Each of these battles was perilously intense, with ferocious clashes throughout the process.
As a result, many cultivators of equal rank sustained injuries, while nurous comrades—by blood or in friendship—lost their lives in the battlefield.
Perhaps when their emotions had settled, feelings among the Liang Family mbers, including Liang Shaorong, shifted from the initial euphoria to profound sorrow.
Not only the Liang Family, but out of the eight Yang Clan mbers who ca to support them this ti, three also lost their lives in the battles, nearly halving their forces.
For family cultivators like them, there was inevitably a certain blood bond shared with those who fell.
At the very least, they shared deep camaraderie and mutual respect.
To feel indifferent about such losses? That sentint might apply only to the fallen among loose cultivators, whose deaths rarely stirred mourning or indignation.
Precisely because of this, after calming down, the hearts of both the Liang Family mbers and the Yang Clan underwent significant transformation.
Lin Tianming, observing this scene, understood the sentints of the Liang Family and Yang Clan mbers.
However, in his view, the Liang Family’s situation had originally been dire—on the brink of ruin amid an overwhelming crisis.
Through the recent series of battles, the Liang Family slowly turned the tide of misfortune.
And in this final battle, they annihilated every participant from the other three major forces, leaving only mbers of the Yuanchen Sect alive.
With Yuanchen Sect included, nearly ten Golden Core Stage cultivators t their end here, with almost everyone who managed to flee carrying injuries, many of which were severe.
Comparing the Liang Family’s initial predicant to the current result, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had secured victory in this entire battle.
This triumph amounted to a resounding and exhilarating victory.
More importantly, the price paid by the Liang Family for this victory was remarkably low.
Under the sa circumstances, if it were an ordinary Golden Core Family facing such a disparity in power, achieving re survival in this crisis would be an unlikely feat, let alone victory.
Not to ntion that the Liang Family managed to directly crush the offensive from all four major forces at a relatively small cost.
Indeed, the Tianqing Sect, Xie Family, and Li Family’s forces were rcilessly wiped out, leaving no survivors.
anwhile, for the Yuanchen Sect, over half their participants in this battle perished, while those left alive retreated with wounds.
A victory of this magnitude is, honestly speaking, nothing short of spectacular.
At the onset of this war, even Liang Shaorong did not imagine that the imminent catastrophe threatening to overthrow the Liang Family would eventually be resolved like this.
In fact, over these past few years, the Liang Family camp had only lost around a dozen Golden Core Stage cultivators in the course of these battles.
Among them were several who had been ambushed and killed by the four major forces at the very beginning.
Excluding those who fell during the initial ambushes as well as the early rounds of battles, in the most recent three engagents, the Liang Family’s casualties amounted to rely eight combatants.
Against the backdrop of the threats originally facing the Liang Family, this toll was indeed a minor one.
The loss of these ten-plus Golden Core combatants actually represents the combined casualties from several allied factions within the Liang Family camp.
Conversely, the four major forces suffered the loss of over thirty Golden Core combatants through these four years of fighting.
In comparison to the Liang Family’s losses, one could say the four major forces had suffered an unmitigated, crushing defeat.
Moreover, the price they paid in this catastrophic defeat was overwhelming.
Take the Tianqing Sect as an example—a Great Sect ranked third in overall strength within Jinfeng Nation, boasting a profound foundation with consistent Golden Core cultivator numbers maintained above ten.
At its peak, the Tianqing Sect even commanded over twenty Golden Core cultivators.
Even as its power waned over the recent centuries, the sect still consistently fielded over ten Golden Core Stage combatants in its ranks.
But after this battle, more than half of Tianqing Sect’s Golden Core strength fell on the battlefield.
What’s worse, those Golden Core cultivators who died in the battle comprised the elite, the finest talents within the sect.
Consider figures like Yang Yinghai and Wu Chengfeng—pillars of the sect, akin to Stabilizing Sea Needles—both of whom perished in the conflict.
Under such circumstances, calculating their overall strength, Tianqing Sect’s capabilities suffered at least a seventy percent decline.
For Qingzhou Center’s nations, such losses amount to a full-blown catastrophe.
Even if the Liang Family refrains from seeking vengeance on Tianqing Sect, it seems unlikely that the sect will maintain its footing in Jinfeng Nation.
