A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Master Yeguang snorted coldly and led fourteen Foundation Establishment cultivators charging toward the Octagonal Glazed Tower.

”That is where the Spirit Vein of this city lies, and the Array Map is inside, along with Lu Qian.”

”Once we seize the Array Map, the Array will dissolve on its own, and Master Lingyin will also be freed.”

”If we can kill Lu Qian, even better; this battle could be concluded early.”

However, against the fourteen Feathered Scholars and the Golden Core Master, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yunshan Sect actually dared to confront them!

This caused the opposing side to be slightly taken aback.

Even if Lu Qian managed a trade-off, taking down a Golden Core-level enemy, and even if only considering the strength of both sides’ Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Yunshan Sect’s data was too weak to compete.

The seven Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yunshan Sect were all in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment. On the opposing side, there were eight Foundation Establishment cultivators dispatched by the Sanshan County, with two in Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, four in Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and two in Early-Stage Foundation Establishment. The Spirit Talisman Sect had two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the Xuanguang Sect had two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment and two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To counter such a formidable enemy with seven Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators was already an impossible task, let alone facing a Golden Core Master!

Master Yeguang couldn’t help but sneer.

An ant trying to shake a tree, an egg striking a rock, utterly laughable.

Don’t even need our Foundation Establishment cultivators, I alone can slaughter everyone in this city!

With a rumbling noise, Master Yeguang waved his hand and struck heavily on the Thunder-Generating Drum, thunderclaps exploded, lightning streaked across the night sky, and three massive Thunder Balls, each several meters in diameter, rushed fiercely towards the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yunshan Sect.

At the same time, Ning Songzhi, his eyes firm, placed a hand on Wangg Hao’s shoulder, activating the Dao Pattern · Instant Body.

A ripple flashed through the air, and the two figures disappeared instantly before appearing inside the Octagonal Glazed Tower, standing before the Spirit Vein!

”Well done!” Wangg Hao laughed heartily, activating the Dao Pattern, and gathering the form of the Xun Wind Giant, reaching out to grab the Ten Extremes Ten Directions Grand Array Map suspended above the Spirit Vein.

While Ning Songzhi watched Lu Qian, fully concentrating on controlling the Array Map and unable to move, he sighed inwardly.

Sorry, Sect Leader Lu, let this battle end now.

His Flying Sword flashed in his hand, and it shot out, straight toward Lu Qian’s throat!

Outside the Glazed Tower, lightning split the air, and the seven members of Yunshan Sect were all in Early-Stage Foundation Establishment. Master Yeguang casually glanced, locking onto the three with the highest cultivation sensed: Shen Jialuo, Duu Yeming, and Yang Jiye!

As the electric light flashed, the raging Thunder Ball came near, the terrifying intention to tear made several people shiver instantly, and their surrounding companions hurried to aid them.

Wang Yu, being relatively far, was too late to assist, Wu Yan gritted her silver teeth and abandoned her original target, reaching out to grab Yang Jiye’s arm, while Tong Youx and Fang Hui, closest to Duu Yeming, each threw their Defensive Spiritual Artifacts to block in front of Duu Yeming.

Facing the strike of a Golden Core, the isolated and unsupported Shen Jialuo suddenly tore down the pendant from her snow-white neck; it was a Glazed Small Bottle emitting blue, yellow, and red tricolor light. Despite her heartache, she had no other choice, and hurled the small bottle towards the Thunder Ball!

The Glazed Small Bottle instantly turned to ashes, but within it, blue, yellow, and red tricolor fine sand spilled out, initially just the size of a pinky finger, yet it swelled in the wind, roaring and transforming into a river of tricolor shining quicksand, engulfing the Thunder Ball.

With a muffled sound, half of the quicksand river shattered, yet the Thunder Ball was nowhere to be seen!

This was precisely the life-saving treasure given to her by Ye Xiao, the Tri-Color Ruyi Divine Sand. But having consumed half upon just entering the battlefield, it left Shen Jialuo exceedingly fearful.

But who else had such treasures bestowed by a Golden Core Master?

The second Thunder Ball hit its target directly, exploded with a boom, a mass of blue with purple infused Thunder Light instantly engulfing the figures of Wu Yan and Yang Jiye.

The third Thunder Ball, carrying a terrifying aura, struck heavily on the Triple Defense Spiritual Artifacts of Tong Youx, Fang Hui, and Duu Yeming; even though Tong Youx and Duu Yeming had long upgraded their Defensive Spiritual Artifacts to High-Tier Top Configuration with funding and rewards from the Yunshan Sect, they couldn’t withstand it.

At the life-and-death juncture, he resorted to his Dao Pattern. A Flying Sword, brilliantly radiant, suddenly performed Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation, splitting into three, swiftly slicing towards the Thunder Ball.

The thunder serpent writhed, the barrage of lighting surged wildly, all three Defensive Spiritual Artifacts shattered together, the remaining thunder collided with Duu Yeming’s Flying Sword, and blinding Thunder Light suddenly burst forth.

Duu Yeming screamed, spewing blood wildly, his flesh and bones shattered, his body charred black and covered with a network of cracks.

He stumbled back dozens of meters, his insides burned, blood spewing from his mouth and nose, overwhelmed by the terror of death, turned and fled!

Inside the Glazed Tower, Ning Songzhi’s Flying Sword was fierce and sharp, stabbing towards Lu Qian.

It was only then that his gaze focused on Lu Qian’s face, and his heart skipped a beat—Lu Qian was smiling slightly at him.

Ning Songzhi, I’ve been waiting for you indeed.

Within the Spirit Vein, an incredibly dazzling Golden Light suddenly flared, as if a blazing sun rose inside the Glazed Tower!

Where the Golden Light passed, the Xun Wind Giant disintegrated in an instant, Wangg Hao screamed as a blood mist erupted around him.

At the moment when the sharp, unparalleled Golden Light was upon him, Ning Songzhi once again activated the Dao Pattern, his figure flashed, instantly teleporting outside the Glazed Tower, the horror on his face yet to fade, when he suddenly sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood!

Even though his teleportation was fast, he was still barely grazed by the Golden Light, feeling as if countless fine needles as thin as ox hairs pierced into him throughout, causing severe damage, if he were even a bit slower, he would’ve been shredded.
