A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 608: Chapter 483: Advancing on Hidden Dragon Stream_3

After hearing the events from both of them again, Lu Qian gained some more insights and speculations.

”Sect Leader, it’s all our fault for being too rash at Hidden Dragon Stream, which brought trouble to the sect. Please punish us.” Li Da bowed his head.

”This isn’t your fault.” Lu Qian shook his head, ”You were already cautious enough, and your responses were all appropriate.”

”Focus on healing your injuries, don’t dwell too much on it. I will handle the situation at Hidden Dragon Stream. Liuu Muchi ultimately left the hope of survival to you; you should bravely move forward and not let him down.”

...

The next morning, bells rang on Minglong Mountain.

Lu Qian and Master Cangfeng decided that they would rendezvous with a branch of the Mingyu Sword Sect at Hidden Dragon Stream at noon today to begin the suppression and clearing. It was almost time to set off.

”Send the order, gather two hundred and forty Inner Sect Disciples, and deploy six Divine Ships to stand by at Minglong Mountain.”

”Send the order, Wang Yu, Wu Yan, Ding Shu, Shen Jialuo, follow me to Hidden Dragon Stream.”

”Send the order to have Zhou Ang and Zhuang Hui, two Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars, arrive at Hidden Dragon Stream before noon today to meet up.”

This time, Jiang Qingfeng had an objection to Lu Qian’s orders.

”Senior brother, let me go too.” She said with determination, ”I have reached Foundation Establishment; I can definitely be of help.”

Lu Qian wanted to refuse, but seeing her determined look, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He naturally knew that his senior sister had always yearned to fight alongside him. Now that she successfully reached Foundation Establishment, she was at the peak of her aspirations. No matter what he said, it probably wouldn’t matter.

So, after pondering for a moment, considering the tense situation, Lu Qian decided to leave Wu Yan behind to guard the mountain gate and lead the disciples in his stead.

Xiao Tianci originally also wanted to march together, but Lu Qian asked him to stay in seclusion at Minglong Mountain to properly digest the insights gained from sparring at Heaven-Sundering Sword Peak.

Finally, those accompanying Lu Qian to attack Hidden Dragon Stream included Jiang Qingfeng, Wang Yu, Ding Shu, Shen Jialuo, Zhou Ang, and Zhuang Hui — a total of six Foundation Establishments.

The Foundation Estates remaining behind were Yang Jiye, Wu Yan, Xiao Tianci, and Tao Boliang, who had been managing New Castle’s affairs.

”Senior Brother Yang, Little Yan, you must stay vigilant,” Lu Qian gave a final reminder. ”Battles have ignited in Dongping County. Although the chance of them affecting us here is slim, we still need to guard against Junle County launching a sudden attack.”

”Don’t worry, Sect Leader.” Yang Jiye, having gained significantly from the Creation Fire Pill, now advanced to mid-stage Foundation Establishment, confidently said, ”With Minglong Mountain’s current armament, even if Master Xuan Jing of Junle County himself comes, he won’t benefit at all.”

A moment later, five streams of Foundation Establishment escape lights of different colors rose from Minglong Mountain, flying towards Hidden Dragon Stream and leaving a rainbow light in the sky.

Lu Qian used the Tunneling Armor Divine Decree, and the light enveloped everyone, increasing their escape speed by several times.

Before noon, everyone successfully converged at Hidden Dragon Stream.

”Zhou Ang pays respects to Sect Leader Lu.” Zhou Ang spoke with great respect.

He was Zhou Chao’s cousin, and having successfully reached Foundation Establishment, he deserved to be called a promising young talent. Throughout his journey, he witnessed the Yunshan Sect’s rise from the humble Lotus Peak, thus admiring Lu Qian greatly and holding Yunshan Sect in high regard, not daring to be disrespectful.

”Greetings to Sect Leader Lu.” Zhuang Hui gave a salute. Over the years, with no battles to fight, the Yunshan Sect’s good relations with the Spirit Talisman Sect gave him hope of avenging Zhuang Qing. He diligently cultivated day and night and was now about to advance to late-stage Foundation Establishment.

The few Foundation Establishments from Yunshan Sect exchanged greetings with them, and then the six Feathered Scholars, led by Lu Qian, moved towards the Mingyu Sword Sect cultivators who had encircled Hidden Dragon Stream.

On the Mingyu Sword Sect’s side, responsible for commanding six Foundation Establishments, four hundred Qi Cultivation elites, and eight floating battleships, was an elder of the Mingyu Sword Sect, possessing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, named Cao Mo.

He was a man of few words, and his character matched his name.

After a few exchanges, it was decided that the Mingyu Sword Sect’s army would attack first, with Yunshan Sect providing support and joining the battle if needed.

Cao Mo spoke no further; he waved the command banner, and war drums began to thump, the loud sound causing ripples in the stream water.

On several floating battleships, the disciples of the Mingyu Sword Sect shouted in unison, and sharp sword qi soared into the sky, shredding the clouds above Hidden Dragon Stream to pieces.
