There is an island with a radius of over 100 miles. There are only three low earthen slopes on the island, with some tall and short trees growing here and there. There are a large number of buildings on the island, and a large number of monks can be seen walking around.
In a simple stone house, Han Debiao, Han Deling, Han Delei and five others were standing on a slope.
This war was too dangerous. Currently, there are two tribesmen in the Qi Refining Stage alive. The others have been killed and they are currently recuperating.
"We don't know how long the fight will end. Fellow Daoist Mu is already injured."
Han Deling frowned and said that the Taixu Sect launched a full-scale counterattack and they were besieged. Fortunately, Han Debiao was very powerful and managed to break out of the siege, but they were all injured.
Han Debiao nodded and said, "Yes! Lei Wentian is too abnormal. In total, more than 18 foundation-building cultivators died at his hands. Fortunately, Lin Xuan killed him, otherwise who knows how many cultivators would have died at his hands."
"By the way, I heard that Changming and the others also joined the war. I wonder where they are now."
"Chang Ming is quite powerful, he should be fine. Lei Wentian, who poses the greatest threat, has been dealt with. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators are no match for him. I heard that Qing Yun Sect's Qing Yan Zhenren is here, so this battle probably won't last long."
In the center of the island is a golden palace more than ten feet high. A team of monks is guarding the golden palace and no one else is allowed to approach.
In the spacious and bright hall, Liu Sheng sat on the main seat.
Master Chihuo, Granny Jinhua and True Man Qingyan were sitting aside, and the four Jindan cultivators were discussing the war.
Master Chihuo and Granny Jinhua were both independent cultivators. They wanted to take this opportunity to expand their power and joined the camps of Tinghai Pavilion and Qingyun Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, it is not a good idea to continue fighting like this. The Lu family has been harassing our Qingyun Sect. The longer we delay, the greater our losses will be."
True Man Qingyan frowned and said that the Qingyun Sect was now fighting on two fronts, which was really inconvenient.
"I am also planning to end the war. Three fellow Taoists, are you interested in destroying the Huoyun Sect?"
Liu Sheng said with a smile, his tone full of temptation.
The Huoyun Sect has the smallest power, so destroying the Huoyun Sect would be a warning to others. However, the problem is that the Huoyun Sect is, after all, a subsidiary force of the Jiuyan Sect. It is no problem to cripple the Huoyun Sect, but destroying the Huoyun Sect's lineage would be a different matter.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, if we could destroy the Huoyun Sect, we would have done it decades ago. Why would we have waited until today?"
Master Chihuo frowned and said that he just wanted to get some territory and expand his own power.
"Yes! Not to mention that Ye Yan has reached the late Jindan stage, Huoyun Sect is backed by Jiuyan Sect. I think it will be enough to severely damage Huoyun Sect. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered."
Granny Jinhua agreed deeply.
True Man Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, please tell me in detail."
"I wonder if you have heard about the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace? I suspect that Fellow Daoist Ye is a remnant of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace."
Liu Sheng said with a smile that he wanted to accuse Ye Yan of being the remnant of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. As long as Ye Yan was killed, there would be no evidence and everything would be easy.
The Ten Thousand Demons Palace is the representative of evil in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world. Anything related to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace will definitely not end well.
True Man Qingyan and the other two looked at each other. They were all smart people and naturally knew what Liu Sheng meant.
True Man Qingyan nodded and said, "I have also heard some rumors, but our Qingyun Sect has made a lot of efforts in this battle. Junior Brother Lin killed Lei Wentian, it's time for you to show your strength."
Since the war began, Lei Wentian had never been defeated. Nearly twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators had died at the hands of Lei Wentian, becoming a nightmare in the hearts of many cultivators. This nightmare happened at the hands of Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan's reputation soared. True Man Qingyan's voice was also louder when discussing the war.
Liu Sheng frowned. Taixu Sect fought back with all their might. They suffered heavy losses and their morale was low. Lin Xuan's killing of Lei Wentian was indeed a great achievement and it greatly boosted their morale. However, like a lion fighting a rabbit, one must still try his best. After all, Ye Yan was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage and he couldn't be careless.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, Fellow Daoist Ye is in the late Jindan stage after all, so it's better to be cautious. If he gets away, there will be endless trouble. It's better for the four of us to attack together. After the tactical operation is completed, you will definitely benefit."
Liu Sheng said sincerely that Lin Xuan's killing of Lei Wentian was an indelible achievement, but Lin Xuan was on the kill list of Taixu Sect's disciples, so he didn't dare to go out alone now.
"Okay, then I will accompany you."
True Man Qingyan thought about it and agreed.
If four Jindan cultivators were to fight against one Jindan cultivator, their chances of winning would still be very high.
They discussed for more than half an hour and worked out several plans before adjourning the meeting.
Not long after, True Man Qingyan arrived at a secluded green-tiled courtyard, and Lin Xuan stood aside with a respectful expression.
"Junior Brother Lin, are you feeling better?"
True Man Qingyan asked in a gentle voice. Letting Lin Xuan join the battle this time was the wisest decision he had ever made.
"Thanks to the elixir that Master Sun gave me, I am now fine."
Lin Xuan said respectfully that he killed Lei Wentian and became the object of admiration of the Qingyun Sect disciples, and was unrivaled in the limelight, but he also became the public enemy of the Taixu Sect disciples.
"You and nephew Zhao should return to the headquarters! Be careful on the road. You don't need to participate in the next battle. After the battle, the sect will definitely reward you handsomely."
True Man Qingyan promised that since Lin Xuan had made such a great contribution, he could be considered a good leader.
"Yes, Uncle Sun."
Lin Xuan smiled happily. With Qingyan Zhenren's words, he felt relieved.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpio played an indispensable role in killing Lei Wentian this time, which made Lin Xuan more determined to train the Amethyst Flying Scorpio.
An hour later, Liu Sheng left the island with more than 30 foundation-building monks. Han Debiao, Han Deling and Han Deling were among them. They accompanied Liu Sheng to carry out an important mission.
······
On a deserted island, there is an underground cave more than ten feet in size.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Ye Xue were sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of them was a piece of light green animal skin with a topographic map on it.
Han Changming planned to hide and avoid the limelight, and then reunite with the main force after a while.
"In another month, the war will probably be over, and then we can go back."
Han Changming analyzed that if the five major forces made such a big fuss just to fight for territory, it would definitely not last too long. If it was for other purposes, it would not last too long either. The longer the war lasted, the greater the losses of the major forces would be.
It is common sense that if you injure the enemy by a thousand, you will also injure your own eight hundred.
"Anyway, let's just hide here and not fight. I hope Uncle Wu and the others are okay."
They were afraid of being betrayed by Lin Xuan. If they returned to the front line, they might be betrayed again. Since the war began, Lei Wentian had never been defeated, but he was also deceived by Lin Xuan.
······
Huoyun Island, Huoyun Palace.
Ye Yan was sitting in the main seat, listening to Sun Rong's report.
"What? More than half of the disciples sent to attack Tinghai Pavilion were killed or injured? Is the Han family so powerful?"
Ye Yan frowned and said that Huoyun Sect’s foundation was relatively weak and could not withstand too much loss.
"Master Ye, do you want to send more people to destroy the Han family and make an example of them?"
Lotus Sun suggested that they suffered a setback in their first battle and it was embarrassing.
Ye Yan shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's strengthen our vigilance! Our foundation is weak and we can't afford too much loss. If there hadn't been a conflict between Qingyun Sect and Taixu Sect, we wouldn't have been involved in this war."
Huoyun Sect was forced to join the war. It was the Lu family that protected Huoyun Sect from being destroyed. Huoyun Sect formed an alliance with the Lu family. Qingyun Sect and Taixu Sect were in constant conflict. Taixu Sect brought in the Lu family, and Huoyun Sect had no choice but to join the war.
Huoyun Sect is the weakest force, and the enemy will easily become the main target of attack.
Unless Ye Yan takes action personally, it would be difficult to destroy the Han family with the current strength of Huoyun Sect.
If Ye Yan takes action personally, the situation will be different and other Jindan cultivators will suffer.
Soldiers fight against soldiers, generals fight against generals, this is the rule. Whoever breaks this rule first will suffer the consequences.
"Yes, Uncle Ye."
Sun Rong agreed immediately. Actually, Huoyun Sect didn't have many manpower to mobilize. Her original intention was to let Ye Yan personally destroy the Han family. However, Ye Yan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Suddenly, there was a loud sirens and roars.
"Oh no! Enemy attack! The enemy is at our doorstep."
Sun Rong's face changed and she looked at Ye Yan.
"Let's go out and see who can destroy our Huoyun Sect."
Ye Yan's eyes were gloomy and he flew out.
Outside Huoyun Island, Liu Sheng and four others controlled magic weapons to attack Huoyun Island, while Han Debiao and others either released spells or controlled magic weapons.
Huoyun Island was covered by a red mist, and amidst a burst of explosions, Huoyun Island began to shake violently.
Han Debiao looked a little excited. He didn't expect that Liu Sheng would lead them to attack Huoyun Island. It was really beyond his expectations.
Judging from Liu Sheng's posture, he is going to destroy Huoyun Sect. After all, Huoyun Sect is an immortal cultivation sect, and they must have many treasures, maybe even elixirs and jade liquids.
The red mist rolled and surged, and Ye Yan and a dozen disciples of Huoyun Sect flew out, with Ye Yan's eyes gloomy.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, are you two going to quarrel over this? I just visited Fellow Daoist Qian from the Nine Flames Sect a few years ago."
Ye Yan said in a deep voice, with a bad feeling in his heart.
It is definitely not a good thing when four Jindan cultivators come to kill you.
Liu Sheng is in the late Jindan stage, while Granny Jinhua, Master Chihuo and True Man Qingyan are all in the middle Jindan stage. With four against one, Ye Yan's chances of winning are very low.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Ye, you colluded with the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. Do you think we don't know? If you know what's good for you, surrender. Let's go to the Nine Flames Sect and ask them to administer justice."
Liu Sheng said coldly that such words were of course lies.
Ye Yan was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted. Instead of getting angry, he laughed and said, "What a joke. You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. If you want to arrest me, it depends on whether you have good teeth."
As he said this, a large green flame emerged from his body and transformed into a red fire cloud that flew through the air.
Liu Sheng and the other three reacted quickly and attacked Ye Yan one after another.
"Destroy the Huoyun Sect and kill them."
Liu Sheng shouted loudly and turned into a blue light to chase after him.
True Man Qingyan and his two companions hurriedly followed. Under such circumstances, they naturally would not let Ye Yan escape.
Four against one, if Ye Yan gets away, they will be too embarrassed to see anyone.
Han Debiao and more than 30 other foundation-building cultivators attacked Sun Rong and the others, who fled back to Fire Cloud Island. There were constant roars and colorful magic lights lit up in the air.
Han Debiao took out a huge golden axe and chopped it towards the empty space of Huoyun Island.
Boom!
A deafening roar sounded, and the red mist rolled violently.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, let's make a quick decision. After all, Huoyun Island is the Huoyun Sect's home base. There must be a lot of treasures there. We can't delay for too long. There may be a teleportation array on the island."
Han Debiao looked at a tall young man in a golden shirt with several golden snake patterns embroidered on his clothes. He was Jin Lang, the eldest disciple of Grandma Jinhua, who was in the late stage of foundation building.
Jin Lang flipped his hand and took out a light golden talisman. There was a light golden small sword pattern on the surface of the talisman. It was full of spiritual energy and was obviously a talisman.
Jin Lang's vast magical power was injected into the talisman, and the talisman burst into thousands of golden lights. The golden sword seemed to come alive and flew out from the talisman vaguely.
With a flash of golden light, a small golden sword flew out. After a blur, it turned into a three-foot-long golden sword, emitting amazing spiritual energy.
"go."
Jin Lang lightly tapped Huoyun Island with his finger, and the golden sword turned into a ray of golden light and slashed towards Huoyun Island.
Boom!
After a deafening roar, the red mist suddenly dissipated, revealing the full picture of Huoyun Island. A large number of Huoyun Island disciples fled in all directions.
"kill."
Han Debiao leaped downward and gently swung the golden giant axe in his hand. A golden light blade over ten feet long shot out and slashed towards the two Huoyun Sect disciples.
Two screams were heard, and two disciples of Huoyun Sect were cut in half by the golden light blade. The golden light blade slashed on the ground, and a groove more than ten feet long and half a foot deep suddenly appeared on the ground.
Other foundation-building cultivators landed on Huoyun Island one after another. Screams continued, and one Huoyun Sect disciple after another fell in a pool of blood. Sun Rong and other foundation-building cultivators fled in panic.
Han Deling and Han Delei did not land on Huoyun Island. They looked alert and were ready to pick up Han Debiao at any time.
Boom!
The Fire Cloud Island suddenly shook violently, and more than a dozen red stone men over ten feet tall emerged from the ground. These stone men were made up of countless red boulders, and they held various weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, etc. in their hands. That was not all, a large area of red flames emerged from the ground, and the temperature suddenly rose.
"Formation! Oops, there's an ambush!"
Han Deling's face changed and she spoke in a lost voice.
She didn't expect that under such circumstances, the Huoyun Sect would still fight to the death, with an attitude of fighting to the death.
Countless red mists emerged out of thin air and transformed into a red light curtain, covering the entire Fire Cloud Island.
The Huoyun Sect monks who were originally fleeing everywhere turned back and attacked Han Deling and others.
Han Deling and others used their magic weapons to resist. Relying on the advantage in numbers, the monks of Huoyun Sect temporarily gained the upper hand.
On Huoyun Island, the spiritual boots on Han Debiao's feet were glowing red as they floated in the air. He was holding a long stick shining with golden light and madly attacking the red stone men. He naturally knew that the red stone men were illusions created by the formation. There were not many foundation-building monks in Huoyun Sect, so the formation could not operate for long.
The golden stick hit the red stone man, making a dull "clang" sound, but the red stone man was intact.
"Friend Han, it's useless for you to attack these stone men. If I'm not mistaken, that mountain must be the center of the formation."
A pale-faced young man in a blue shirt pointed at a red mountain in the distance and said with a serious expression.
The young man in blue shirt was named Zhu Mingming. He was in the middle stage of foundation building and practiced martial arts. He was born in the Zhu family of Danyang Island, which was a family of immortal cultivation affiliated with the Qingyun Sect. They were good at formations, and Zhu Mingming was the best among them, proficient in formations.
