Chapter 754: Chapter 409: Three Pieces of News_1 Chapter 754: Chapter 409: Three Pieces of News_1 Once inside the market city, Qin Xi and her two companions walked along the bustling streets, their eyes sweeping everywhere.
The streets were filled with people coming and going, with cultivators in all manner of strange and flamboyant attire flitting through every corner of the market.
A glance revealed furrowed brows and complex expressions on each of their faces, seemingly affected by the impending war.
It seed that as the news of the war spread throughout the Cultivation World, family cultivators who responded to the call to arms, as well as rogue elents among the loose cultivators, had all gathered here, causing the influx of people in the market to further increase.
They, too, were eager to grasp so intelligence regarding the war, to at least have an idea of what to expect and to prepare, allowing them to make accurate judgnts.
With this in mind, they kept a close watch on the surrounding cultivators and even the changes in the various shops, engaging in conversations with so familiar faces they encountered.
Indeed, as revealed by those who had arrived at the market ahead of them, the war between the three sects had escalated further.
...
The rumors said that the Zhenyang Sect had already lost control of more than a dozen mountain ranges, with large areas occupied by the Golden Sword Sect.
The main forces of the Golden Sword Sect were pushing southward, almost reaching the Zhenyang Sect Mountain Gate, but were temporarily halted at the Qingshui Mountain Range to the north.
As for them, the cultivators who responded to the Recruitnt Order, they would likely head to Qingshui Mountain Range and set up a line of defense there to fend off the attack from the Golden Sword Sect disciples.
Not long after.
The three of them made their way through and entered the Lin Family stronghold, also known as the Cave Mansion Courtyard where nurous family mbers were engaged in closed-door cultivation.
By then, Xing Rong and the others in charge of guarding the Luoyun Pavilion had already received their ssages and were waiting for their arrival.
Upon seeing his daughter-in-law, Xing Rong was initially happy, but soon beca worried.
After all, he had been stationed in the Qianchuan Market for many years and had a fairly good understanding of the current situation in the Cultivation World; he was naturally aware of the purpose of the trio’s visit and the crisis they would face in the years to co.
However, he was also a mber of the Lin Family, one of the high-ranking ones, and he certainly understood the family’s situation.
Currently, the strongest among the family had important tasks to handle. Many family mbers were not suitable to show themselves, and quite a few had only reached the Foundation Establishnt Stage a few years ago.
These newly advanced Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were of limited strength and would likely fall easily in a war dominated by Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Therefore, the number of family mbers the Lin Family could actually mobilize was very limited.
However, the cultivation strength of Qin Xi and her two companions was quite good, with rich experience in combat and survival, which made them the most likely to survive in the war between the three sects.
Thus, the family’s decision to send the three of them to fight was quite normal.
Now, even though Xing Rong was worried for Qin Xi’s safety, upon careful consideration of the family’s arrangents and the situation they were facing, there seed to be no chance of changing the fact that the three of them had already arrived at the gathering point.
Realizing this, Xing Rong resolutely accepted the reality and was willing to provide as much assistance as he could to Qin Xi and her companions.
After exchanging greetings, the six Foundation Establishnt Cultivators who were there started chatting casually.
During the conversation, both sides exchanged a wealth of information about the family as well as the wider Cultivation World.
Especially Qin Xi and her two companions, they were very focused on the situation of the war between the three sects.
Since Xing Rong had been staying in the Qianchuan Market, the tension between the three sects had already been exposed, coupled with the sudden attack by the Golden Sword Sect, the news quickly reached them.
As the Lin Family’s representative in charge of the Luoyun Pavilion, he naturally gathered the most accurate intelligence and would send them back to the family at the first opportunity when the conditions allowed.
Hence, he had visited Tang Xiuyuan at the Sky Dragon Pavilion and Wang Zhi, one of the supervisors for the Zhenyang Sect Market, several tis during this period.
Through his inquiries and even spending spirit stones to purchase information, he managed to obtain so relatively reliable intelligence from these major forces.
According to the information he found, the northern territories under the control of the Zhenyang Sect Mountain Gate had already descended into chaos.
The Golden Sword Sect, led by Song Hanchun and gathering unknown cultivators from the Blood Red Alliance, deployed four Golden Core Cultivators and over a thousand disciples in the Mid Qi Refining Stage and above.
This massive army, starting from their adjacent territory at the Bluewater Mountain Range, launched a sudden offensive.
In just under two months’ ti, the Zhenyang Sect had lost control of more than a dozen mountain ranges, with hundreds of family forces being plundered, countless cultivators killed or injured, and over a dozen small market cities and their territories completely occupied by the Golden Sword Sect.
Since enmity had already been established among the three sides in the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm,
It was expected that the Golden Sword Sect would launch an attack.
Therefore, the Zhenyang Sect didn’t rush into battle but strategically abandoned over a dozen northern mountain ranges, purely to buy so ti.
This was a reluctant move.
After all, the Golden Sword Sect ca prepared, with several Golden Core Cultivators deployed and an overwhelmingly strong overall force.
However, over the past two months, the Zhenyang Sect had not been idle.
At least, they had issued a Recruitnt Order in their controlled area and had been the first to gather forces from over twenty mountain ranges surrounding the Dragon Spring Market.
This region around the Dragon Spring Market falls under the Zhenyang Sect’s core area of control, and the overall standard of cultivation is far beyond comparison to the impoverished lands of the Bluewater Mountain Range.
