A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 560: Chapter 465: Counterattack, Part 3

The deafening roar, the shouts of battle, the sound of clashes and explosions from inside the city could all be heard, inevitably causing panic and unease. Fortunately, Jiang Qingfeng, Lin Le, Jiang Baitao, and others worked hard to soothe everyone, ensuring the stability of the refuge.

But all they could do was pray.

Even Zhang Lemei held Tan Yunxing tightly at this moment, praying for the protection of the Yunshan Sect’s past masters, hoping Lu Qian could repel the strong enemy and ensure the survival of Yunshan Sect.

Fortunately, the call for evacuation never came, and not long ago, even the sound of fighting completely ceased. Just as everyone was speculating, Wu Yan’s communication came through, instantly invigorating everyone, who then moved to remove the mechanisms blocking them and opened the gate. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Seeing Wu Yan in person, everyone naturally felt at ease. However, as they poured out to see the city reduced to a desolate ruin, they were both shocked and worried, momentarily losing their composure.

Wu Yan, who had been training until now, had naturally improved, and her first words quickly provided reassurance.

”The Sect Leader is safe, Elder Guh has achieved the Golden Core, the enemy has been driven back, and we have won!”

Immediately, the excited cultivators led by Jiang Qingfeng, Lin Le, and others began following the tasks set by Lu Qian.

Jiang Qingfeng gazed from afar at Lu Qian quietly meditating, sighing softly.

She was naturally angry at Lu Qian for knocking her unconscious, but she always understood and forgave him, thinking that if she were in his place, she would have made the same choice.

Thus, this anger quickly transformed into powerlessness and sadness, reaching a peak upon seeing Guh Niqiang, who had now attained the Golden Core.

Yet, with a blink of an eye, these chaotic feelings were suppressed, as Jiang Qingfeng swiftly took over the city’s affairs, organizing everyone’s tasks clearly and orderly.

An hour passed in no time, Master Cangfeng had already departed, and Lu Qian opened his eyes.

Under the restructuring and leadership of Yang Jiye, the Shuangye Alliance cultivators were ready to set off. They would take the only remaining intact Divine Ship and could rest for a while on the road.

But before that, the preliminary battle damage report had been delivered, and Lu Qian quickly scanned through it, pausing briefly at the section on personnel casualties.

On the Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar side.

Tong Youx and Fang Hui were killed in action, while Duu Yeming fled against his oath.

Wang Yu and Shen Jialuo were severely injured, near death, and Xiao Tianci was also not lightly wounded.

On the Qi Cultivator’s side, it was even more heart-wrenching.

Within Yunshan Sect, the highest-ranking casualty was Captain Jia Two, the True Disciple of Wang Yu, Fanx Shang.

Lu Qian couldn’t help but lift his head and saw Wuh Zilan fall to the ground, crying loudly.

From Jia One to Yi Three, among one hundred and thirty Inner Sect disciples, forty-one had died, nearly one-third.

From Yi Four to Bing Eight, among the mixed team of Yunshan Outer Disciples and Shuangye Alliance cultivators, out of one hundred and fifty cultivators, seventy had died, nearly half.

Within Shuangye Alliance, the highest-ranking casualty was Spirit Snake Peak Sect Leader Zhao Xianzong.

This old friend did not see the final farewell.

Among the participating Qi Cultivation Elite, two hundred eighty in number, and the Void-Soaring and Distant-Guarding Divine Ship, totaling eight vessels. The final death count was one hundred and eleven, with six ships destroyed and one severely damaged.

Under the shadow of this victory are these cold numbers, so many vibrant faces disappearing forever, truly heartbreaking.

But now, the grief must be suppressed, the usable forces mobilized, to reclaim the huge loss from Sanshan County and avenge the fallen disciples!

At this moment, a chaotic sound approached, and Lu Qian looked up as a disciple quickly reported.

”Sect Leader, a team claiming to be from the Shouzhuo Sect has arrived outside the city.”

Shouzhuo Sect, Qin Zhiyi?

”They’ve captured Ning Songzhi from Xuanguang Sect!”
