A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 315: Chapter 275: Pole Star Position

The horn for attack sounded, and the Yunshan Sect’s four floating battleships suddenly split apart, charging towards Lingsha City from the east, west, south, and north.

The Foundation Establishment forces also split, with Lu Qian and Guh Niqiang on the flagship, Yang Jiye on another Divine Ship, and Pan Qin and Duu Yeming each guarding a regular floating battleship.

Before entering the array, just as they came within range of the Spiritual Power Cannons, both sides’ floating battleships began firing with a roar, and the rumbling cannon fire shook the night sky, causing all the mortals around Lingsha City to hide indoors, trembling with fear.

Lu Qian commanded the attack from four directions precisely for this reason. Sanshan County only had two floating battleships. If all of them concentrated their forces, it would make it easy for the enemy to concentrate their fire. By spreading out, the two floating battleships on the enemy side would have to pick only one target to attack.

What was slightly unexpected, however, was that Sanshan County’s two floating battleships did not attack the most threatening Divine Ship but instead opened fire on the regular floating battleships.

The explosions rang out in succession, the two regular floating battleships shook violently, and many spiritual light beams pierced the deck and tore through the sails, causing significant damage.

At the same time, it resulted in casualties among the disciples on board.

The screams of disciples rang in his ears, and Lu Qian felt a heavy heart, realizing that Yuchi Hui had the strategy of wounding ten fingers rather than breaking one finger.

And with the four Yunshan Sect’s floating battleships firing simultaneously, the might was astounding, as multicolored spiritual light beams converged from all directions towards the center, targeting the Dubhe Star Position.

Boom! Over a hundred beams of Spiritual Power Cannons fiercely struck Sanshan County’s floating battleship at the Dubhe Position!

In an instant, starlight swayed, and brilliance shone. The concentrated attack from the Spiritual Power Cannons, which should have destroyed that floating battleship, only punched a few holes and broke a mast under the protection of the Starlight Shield, causing some light damage.

Yuchi Hui was thrilled. Perhaps it was related to the Third-Level Spiritual Vein here, as the array’s enhancement exceeded expectations. If they could maintain this situation, Lingsha City could surely be defended!

After a round of bombardment, the Spiritual Power Cannons recharged, and Lu Qian continuously sent communications to the various ships, ordering the elders and sect leaders from the six sects to restrain the Shuangye Alliance cultivators and to remain calm and not panic.

Taking this opportunity, the four floating battleships charged into the array, especially the two Divine Ships, leading the way.

As soon as they entered the array, Lu Qian shouted loudly, ”Elder Gu!”

A flash of fire appeared instantaneously, like a Fire Meteor, targeting a specific spot within the array.

From above, this was precisely the location pointed to by the mouth of the Seven Stars of the Dipper.

Pole Star Position!

Yuchi Hui suddenly shouted, ”Stop her!”

Lu Qian could break this formation after all!

The Seven Stars Beidou Formation, when in operation, was incredibly mysterious, but no matter how the Dipper rotated, the mouth formed by Merak and Dubhe invariably pointed at the Pole Star Position.

If one comprehended the mystery of this formation and seized the Pole Star Position, one could disrupt the flow of spiritual energy within the formation, rendering the Big Dipper Seven Stars bound and unable to shift and rotate freely!

In an instant, the seven star positions spun abruptly. Apart from the two floating battleships, all attacks targeted the rapidly advancing Guh Niqiang!

Most astonishing was that the three enemy Foundation Establishments were not the most impactful, but rather the two hundred Qi Cultivation Elites.

Dozens of Qi Cultivation Elites acted in unison. Not even a Foundation Establishment could face such a sharp edge, let alone at this moment, there were two hundred Qi Cultivation Elites!

A low buzzing sounded, an array of blinding lights flashing — it was a starlit belt rising from the convergence of hundreds of Magical Artifacts, thousands of Talismans, and numerous Magic Techniques!

Even for Guh Niqiang, if she didn’t retreat, she would be blasted to smithereens!

But Guh Niqiang remembered Lu Qian’s instructions, charging forward with unwavering determination, focused solely on the Pole Star Position.

How could Lu Qian betray Guh Niqiang’s absolute trust in him?

Aboard the flagship, flags fluttered, and Communication Talismans lit up. With all four floating battleships recharged, they fired simultaneously!

The two floating battleships from Sanshan County also unleashed a new round of Spiritual Power Cannons.

But this time, the target of the four floating battleships’ Spiritual Power Cannons wasn’t the two hundred Qi Cultivation Elites at the Merak and Alcor Star Positions, but rather slightly ahead. Several hundred Spiritual Power Cannons bombarded the hundreds of Magical Artifacts, thousands of Talismans, and various Magic Techniques launched by the two hundred Elites, striking upon that starlight belt.

Countering attack with attack!

In an instant, the dazzling light brightened intensely, followed by a series of thunderous explosions almost capable of shattering eardrums.

All attacks, at this moment, were completely ignited!

A torrent of air bursting with the force of crashing waves surged forward, striking Guh Niqiang’s Tao’s Right, causing her, and the three Foundation Establishments of Tianji, Tianquan, and Yuheng, to be blown away. The six floating battleships at the scene shook violently and tilted, the explosion’s power exceeding Lu Qian’s expectations.

The floating battleships of Sanshan County, which had originally been aiming at the Yunshan Sect’s two regular floating battleships, were now shaken by the tremendous air blast, and, as a result, almost completely missed their next round of attacks.

Yuchi Hui on the ground was dumbfounded, never imagining that Lu Qian could come up with such an ingenious solution. Unable to target the seven star positions, Lu Qian simply didn’t target them, instead launching Spiritual Power Cannons at the wave of attacks from the two hundred Qi Cultivation Elites, triggering a massive chain explosion.

The key point was that the Qi Cultivators had limited Divine Sense, and the Magical Artifacts they launched had been blasted away, leaving them without their handy tools and slowing their attacks.

It was a divine stroke of brilliance!

Yuchi Hui broke out in a cold sweat. Had he not been seriously injured, he would have personally entered the fray. Now, he could only continue sending new orders through the Communication Talisman in his hand.

The Foundation Establishments of Tianji, Tianquan, and Yuheng moved forward again to intercept Guh Niqiang, while Lu Qian and Yang Jiye left their Divine Ship, flying to her aid from the left and right.

Pan Qin and Duu Yeming transferred from the two regular floating battleships to the Divine Ship, taking over Lu Qian and Yang Jiye’s positions. The Yunshan Sect’s four floating battleships quickly shifted direction, changing from their original southeast-northwest approach to converge on the Pole Star Position.

The entire Shuangye Alliance army was rushing towards the Pole Star Position, while the Big Dipper Seven Stars spun frantically to block them.

The Foundation Establishments of Tianquan and Yuheng were positioned in front, quickly blocking Guh Niqiang’s path. Guh Niqiang’s whole body erupted in flames, emitting immense Spiritual Pressure, instantly summoning a Golden Crow Illusion, compressing the Cyan Flame Armor, with specks of fire flickering in her golden-red pupils. In a flash, she unleashed both palms, with two Bing Fire Divine Crows rapidly shooting towards the faces of the two Foundation Establishments from Sanshan County.

The two Foundation Establishments, carrying such heavy responsibilities, dared not slacken. They were now protected by a Starlight Shield, invoked Dao Patterns, and used a Spiritual Artifact to tightly entangle Guh Niqiang, preventing her from advancing.

At the same time, the slightly farther Tianji Foundation Establishment turned around, fortunately intercepted by Yang Jiye, who wielded Purple Qi Celestial Net and activated the Sky-Breaking Dao Pattern.

The Sword-Hammer-Ring Blade instantly teleported in, striking Tianji all over, terrifying him into turning pale, forgetting entirely about his Starlight Shield, as he let out a cry without thinking.

Unfortunately, the Starlight Shield was indeed tenacious. Despite Yang Jiye’s full efforts, it only caused the dazzling starlight to flicker and stopped Tianji momentarily, without causing any real harm.

At this moment, the floating battleships opened fire again.

Previously, the two Divine Ships, flying at full speed, emanated brilliance from the arrays, rapidly pushing to a forward position. The floating battleships from Sanshan County at the Dubhe and Mizar Star Positions adjusted their cannon barrels, opening fire suddenly, and the Spiritual Power Light Cannons hit the two Divine Ships, halting their advancing momentum.

Cannon fire filled the sky, rumbling continuously. The two Divine Ships suffered the greatest damage since their construction, with large and small holes instantly appearing on the ships, and even a sail emblazoned with the word ”Distant-Guarding” snapped and fell, crashing onto the deck and knocking down two disciples.

Meanwhile, the two hundred Qi Cultivation Elites at the Merak and Alcor Star Positions blocked the path of the Yunshan Sect’s two regular floating battleships, forcing them to change direction. However, they were still being closely watched by Merak and Alcor.

Even though the Yunshan Sect’s four floating battleships opened fire in return, they were still blocked by the brilliant Star Power Shield, achieving nothing.

Seeing the seven star positions all following orders, completing their tasks, Yuchi Hui was overjoyed.

As long as Guh Niqiang couldn’t seize the Pole Star Position—

Wait, where did Lu Qian go?!

In an instant, multicolored lights expanded abruptly, and a Five Elements Grand Array suddenly rose and almost overlapped with the entire Seven Stars Beidou Formation.

A handful of Spirit Crystals in Lu Qian’s arms radiated dazzling light, making his form extraordinarily radiant, like a shining star.

He was firmly standing at the Pole Star Position!

From the start, the one meant to seize the Pole Star Position wasn’t Guh Niqiang, but Lu Qian!
