Chapter 50 Battle of Xuansha River
After the Chen family was completely dragged into the water, the elders felt much better.
Those who have a seat in this meeting hall are all very well-informed.
Everyone knows the reason why the Chen family suffered this time.
It was Chen Changlin of the Chen family who teamed up with Liu Yuanchen to kill an evil cultivator with strange means.
Now they are targeting the Chen family, obviously for revenge.
Everyone can guess that the main force to kill the evil cultivator must be Liu Yuanchen, and Chen Changlin is just helping.
But those evil cultivators are very obedient. Not to mention causing trouble for the Liu family, even when passing by the Liu family, they are afraid of crossing the line and entering the Liu family's territory.
After this incident, everyone is more awed by Zhao Hong.
The sect leader Qingyang Sanren spoke again: "Since the scope of the call has been determined, who should lead the rescue of the Chen family this time?"
According to convention, when the sect needs to send a large number of people to fight, there must be an elder with real power to lead.
The most common is the head or deputy head of the guard hall to lead.
The Guard Hall did not send anyone to rescue the Chen family this time, so it was not suitable for them to take charge.
And the Demon Cloud Sect was coming in full force, so no one wanted to take the lead.
Everyone looked at Ye Lingshuang.
Although she was young and inexperienced, as the deputy head of the Shennong Hall, she was also a real powerful elder.
Maybe her professional skills were not right, but her strength and status were enough.
Moreover, she was the backer of the Chen family, and she was the one who made the rescue of the Chen family happen, so naturally she should take charge.
Ye Lingshuang did not refuse: "Master, since I strongly advocated supporting the Chen family, I will be responsible for this matter."
...
In Qinghe Town, Liu Yuanchen was chatting with Mo Lianshan, wanting to know more about the battle situation.
Mo Lianshan took out a jade talisman for transmitting messages and took a look.
"The sect has already discussed it and issued a conscription order again to select disciples from various halls in the sect to rescue the Chen family."
Liu Yuanchen was not surprised by this.
The Chen family is very wealthy. There is a second-grade upper-grade spiritual vein around Xuansha Lake, which is quite large.
If the evil cultivators take over, the Qingdan Sect will be in trouble.
In addition, the Chen family uses their connections, and it is only a matter of time before the sect agrees to send troops to rescue.
Mo Lianshan continued: "This time, Chen Changshan and Chen Zongming, the genius of the Chen family, will also have to participate.
The elder in charge turned out to be Ye Lingshuang, the deputy head of Shennong Hall."
Liu Yuanchen looked happy. It seemed that the master had made an effort and finally let the guys of the Chen family in the sect go to the battlefield.
Seeing that he didn't look surprised at all, Mo Lianshan asked, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Liu Yuanchen chuckled, "What's so surprising about this?"
Mo Lianshan didn't talk about it anymore, and asked, "The battle is going on in Xuansha Lake now. You were ordered by Deputy Hall Master Zhao to come out for training. Do you want to go over and have some fun?"
Liu Yuanchen shook his head repeatedly, "I just want to train, not to die.
That evil cultivator died in my hands, and I guess his fellow disciples are trying to make trouble for me.
Going over now is no different from seeking death."
Mo Lianshan looked curious, "We have killed even the Qi Hai Realm evil cultivators before, and we didn't see the Demon Cloud Sect get too angry.
The one you killed An evil cultivator is just a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Realm.
The Demon Cloud Cult, however, is like crazy, bent on destroying the Chen family.
What is the origin of that evil cultivator that made the Demon Cloud Cult invest so much? "
"Our two families are old friends. Tell me something so that I can prepare for it early.
To prevent my younger generations from offending the wrong people and causing the genocide of the clan. "
Liu Yuanchen smiled slightly: "Actually, it's no big deal. The Blood Bat Cult is a big force outside the Red Wasteland.
In front of this force, the Demon Cloud Cult is just a dog.
Chen Changlin and I killed their disciples. They dare not touch me, so they naturally make trouble for the Chen family. "
Hearing this, Mo Lianshan's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Yuanchen.
In the past, he looked at an excellent junior, but now he has a trace of awe.
The Blood Bat Cult is a force outside the Red Wasteland. It doesn't take the Demon Cloud Cult seriously at all. It doesn't dare to touch Liu Yuanchen, and even dares not harass the Liu family.
It can be seen how terrifying Zhao Hong's background is.
In the next few days, Liu Yuanchen did not rush to the Qingshi Mountain Spirit Realm, but stayed in Qinghe Town temporarily.
Anyway, the matter of fusing the spiritual pivot in the spiritual realm has been arranged.
The rest of the things can only be left to time.
No matter how busy he is, it will not work.
Moreover, when fusing the spiritual pivot in the spiritual realm, he cannot fuse multiple spiritual pivots at a time.
Otherwise, there is a possibility of damaging the spiritual realm space barrier.
Although the spiritual energy in Qinghe Town is a little worse, it is completely enough for the cultivators in the Yangqi Realm.
Staying here, if the battle situation changes, you can also know it at the fastest speed.
...
Half a month later.
In the middle reaches of the Xuansha River, large and small streams crisscross and finally merge into a lake with a radius of more than 20 miles.
On the Red Wasteland, most of the places are red Gobi, and such a water town scene is really rare.
This lake is the Xuansha Lake, the ancestral land of the Chen family. The Chen family built a dam on the shore of Xuansha Lake and opened a canal to divert water to irrigate a lot of spiritual fields.
More than 80% of the water in the entire Xuansha River Basin was intercepted by the Chen family.
It was also with the help of the Xuansha River water and many spiritual fields that the Chen family became the little overlord of the Qingshui River Basin.
Today, there are ruins everywhere around Xuansha Lake.
Between the rubble, you can still see dark red bloodstains and broken magic tools.
Pieces of ruins seem to be telling the tragic past.
Large areas of spiritual fields were also destroyed in the war.
The spiritual plants in the spiritual fields were either dug up by evil cultivators or turned into dead branches and leaves.
It will take at least 20 to 30 years to restore these spiritual fields and spiritual plants.
Only the shore of Xuansha Lake, under the protection of layers of defense formations, has preserved many intact buildings.
On a high earth slope on the north bank of Xuansha Lake, there is a spacious house.
The front of the courtyard is quite lively, with many cultivators wearing Qingdan Sect robes coming in and out.
The main house in the courtyard is very spacious, and at this time, more than a dozen Qi Hai realm cultivators are gathered together.
A cold woman wearing green palace clothes and a phoenix-patterned golden crown sits in the main seat. This person is Ye Lingshuang.
Other cultivators, old or young, sit on both sides.
Ye Lingshuang's pretty face was neither sad nor happy: "This time we captured Baixikou and forced the evil cultivators to retreat more than 20 miles. How much did we gain and how many casualties did we suffer?"
Chen Changshan, the manager of Shennong Hall, stood up and replied: "To answer the hall master, nine disciples of the sect died in this battle, and five Chen family members died in the battle, all of whom were in the late stage of Yangqi Realm.
Including a Qihai Realm cultivator, a total of 23 people were injured.
Half of the dead cultivators turned into mummies.
We found 31 evil cultivators on the battlefield. After checking their storage bags, we found six tokens of the disciples of the Demon Cloud Sect and one token of the Blood Bat Sect."
Hearing this, everyone was full of worry.
They were not worried about their own heavy casualties, but about the token of the Blood Bat Sect.
After the two sides fought several times, the Qingdan Sect also had some understanding of the Blood Bat Sect.
This group of evil cultivators attacked the Chen family's territory because a disciple of the Blood Bat Sect was killed by Liu Yuanchen and Chen Changlin.
Although the details of the Blood Bat Cult are unknown, it can be guessed that the Blood Bat Cult has a higher status than the Demon Cloud Cult.
Now the evil cultivator has not been repelled, and another Blood Bat Cult disciple has been killed. How can the Blood Bat Cult let it go?
They don't want to provoke the Blood Bat Cult again, but the Blood Bat Cult disciples don't have anything written on their foreheads, so they can't hold back in the melee.
Once a war breaks out, casualties are inevitable.
Seeing that everyone is in a gloomy mood, Ye Lingshuang, as the commander-in-chief, naturally has to come out to comfort them.
"No matter what the Blood Bat Sect is, since they dare not attack our Qingdan Sect with all their strength, it means that they still have concerns.
No matter what they think now, we should drive them out of the Xuansha River Basin first.
Once they have no foothold, the threat to us will be insignificant."
"Chen Changshan, you will compile a list of meritorious disciples and deceased disciples and reward them according to their merits.
Wang Shu, you will summon disciples who are good at healing and be responsible for treating the injured monks.
Jiang Hai, you will take three Qi Hai Realm monks and fifty Yang Qi Realm monks to Baixikou to take charge.
First, guard Baixikou and prepare to capture Black Rock Mountain."
Everyone said yes, and then retreated.
...
The Black Rock Mountain Mine, which was where Liu Yuanchen had realized the Dead Wood Longevity Art before.
At this time, the dense forests around the mine were only left with sawdust and coke.
The buildings in the mine were also in ruins at this time, but the defense formations had increased by several layers.
At the entrance of the mine, there is a very spacious stone chamber, and now many monks have gathered in the stone chamber.
Two monks wearing dark red robes and covering their faces sat high on the upper seats.
One of them was sturdy and the other was thin.
Many other monks sat obediently below.
The sturdy monk cursed: "What a bunch of trash, Baixikou is guarded by a formation, and you can't defend it. What's the use of you?
If I were to say, you trash should be used to practice.
Losing the base is fine, but relying on the formation defense, the loss is still so great, and one of my disciples of the Blood Bat Sect also died in the battle."
The thin monk spoke to smooth things over: "It's not their fault, there are too many disciples of the Qingdan Sect.
The Chen family has been operating in Baixikou for hundreds of years and knows the place very well.
It's not strange that the formation was easily broken.
You go down and try your best to strengthen the defense of Black Rock Mountain.
If Black Rock Mountain can't be defended again, there is no need for you to live."
Hearing this, the evil cultivators were pardoned.
After thanking him again and again, he fled the mine like crazy.
The sturdy monk was so angry that he slammed the table: "What's the point of keeping such a waste?
Our biggest mistake was to support the Demon Cloud Sect.
It would be better to send a few disciples to establish a sect near the Demon Cloud Sea and swallow up the Demon Cloud Sect."
The thin monk chuckled: "The Demon Cloud Sect is in a disadvantageous position after crossing thousands of miles of wilderness.
It also desperately attacked Xuansha Lake before, and lost a lot of manpower.
It is reasonable to be like this now.
In my opinion, we should withdraw."
Hearing this , the sturdy monk was furious: "Why retreat? This time our Blood Bat Sect lost face, and the culprit Liu Yuanchen cannot be moved.
Qingdan Sect has Zhao Hong in charge, so we still cannot move.
Now we can't even fight the Chen family?"
The thin monk patiently explained: "It's not that we can't fight, but it's difficult to fight.
Before the Qingdan Sect's reinforcements arrive, we can kill all the Chen family members by strong attack.
But now Qingdan Sect has sent hundreds of disciples, and there are also Ningyuan Realm monks.
With these few baskets of rotten peaches under our hands, it is impossible to capture Xuansha Lake."
"The elders' plan is to conquer Jin'ao Mountain with all their strength, and then use Jin'ao Mountain as a fulcrum to launch a war to destroy the Qingdan Sect.
We invaded the Qingshui River Basin in order to make the Qingdan Sect give up Jin'ao Mountain.
Before we take Jin'ao Mountain, it is impossible to send too many people to us.
The opportunity to destroy the Chen family has passed, and there is no point in us continuing to persist.
The Chen family suffered a lot of losses, and we have demonstrated the majesty of the Blood Bat Sect.
Now we are leading people back, the loss is not big, and we have earned a lot of resources.
In the eyes of the elders, we will only have merits, not faults."
The sturdy monk slapped the table: "Our Blood Bat Sect is also famous outside the Red Wasteland.
Back then, we slaughtered the running dogs of the God Court, and we didn't care about anything.
Why do we have to be restrained in this remote place of the Red Wasteland?
A small Condensation Realm monk just came from the Qingdan Sect, and we have to admit defeat.
Could it be that all our years of practice have been in vain? ?”
“This time I will personally break the formation of Xuansha Lake and let those little guys kill in.
I don’t believe that I can’t destroy the Chen family.”
The thin monk quickly dissuaded: “The elder said that we masters cannot act without authorization.
Once we attract the lackeys of the Divine Court, we will have to fight them head-on.
We, the Blood Bat Sect, can’t afford to waste our wealth with the Divine Court.”
The sturdy monk snorted: “But the elder also said that we can intervene in the fight between local forces. .
Didn't we cover up the previous plot of the Moyun Sect by those rubbish?
Why not help break the formation this time?
The elders asked us to discuss this attack on the Chen family, but they didn't say that we would listen to you. "
"I will never retreat unless we break through Xuansha Lake.
Either you take action to break through Xuansha Lake.
Or I will personally smash the formation of Xuansha Lake."
Seeing his firm attitude, the thin monk took out a blood-red seal.
This seal is only three inches square, with a tiger carved on the seal button, and mountains and rivers carved on all four sides of the seal.
Unfortunately, there are many cracks on this seal, and the cracks are deep inside the seal.
It looks like it may collapse at any time.
The sturdy monk was a little surprised: "Shaking Mountain Seal? This is your treasure at the bottom of the box, why are you willing to take it out?"
The thin monk sighed: "Besides taking out this thing, is there any other way?
You are a reckless man who doesn't listen to advice and insists on making a big noise. I can't just watch you ruin the elders' plan.
In addition to attack and defense, this Shaking Mountain Seal can also vibrate small and medium-sized spiritual veins and cut off the flow of spiritual energy in the spiritual veins for a short period of time.
Without the spiritual energy support provided by the spiritual veins, the formation of Xuansha Lake will collapse.
In this way, we can break the formation of Xuansha Lake without directly coming out."
"I got this thing from the place where the ancient monks sat and died. It was about to collapse.
I have been nourishing it with essence and blood for more than ten years before I can barely use it.
This time, more than ten years of hard work will be consumed.
This is the last shot. Whether we can destroy the Chen family or not, we must retreat."
