I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 476: Chapter 432: Capsized

As night fell, Yi Zhengyang, accompanied by elders Chai Chong and Zong Lie, and over fifty Foundation Establishment Disciples from the entire sect, quickly surrounded the courtyard where Xie Jingshan was located.

A faint halo of the Great Array flashed across the sky of Iron Palm Mountain, Yi Zhengyang looked up, his brows slightly furrowed.

”The Mountain Protection Array left by the Iron Palm Master is indeed strong, but it consumes too much Spiritual Energy. We must resolve everything within half an hour; otherwise, the Mountain Protection Array won’t hold up against them.”

Zong Lie, looking honest and naive, hesitated, ”Sect Leader, are we really going to do this? What if we offend the people from the Green Dragon Realm?”

Chai Chong raised a withered hand shrouded in poisonous mist, turning it over to examine, ”It’s been almost three months. If they were really important figures from the Green Dragon Realm, they should’ve sent word to their elders by now to come and retrieve them. Seeking wealth in danger, what are we afraid of?”

Yi Zhengyang agreed, ”That Canglang is just a naive fool who thinks he’s smart. Absorb his Cultivation, and a Nascent Soul can be achieved. His two maids seem to be Late-Stage Foundation Establishment; at that time, each of you can take one.”

Zong Lie was still a bit hesitant, Chai Chong glared at him and sneered, ”If you don’t want them, I’ll gladly take them all.”

”Go!”

Yi Zhengyang led the two elders into the courtyard, the lights in the hall flickered, silent and still. Yi Zhengyang signaled with his eyes, and Chai Chong and Zong Lie immediately concealed themselves, while the Foundation Establishment Disciples outside surrounded the courtyard in the shadows, each armed with God-Slaying Crossbows, ready to strike.

”Brother Canglang, I’ve come to drink with you again, Brother Canglang...”

Yi Zhengyang pretendingly pushed open the door and went inside, seeing Xie Jingshan lying on the table unconscious, with Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi collapsed on the ground, wine jars open on the table, and two broken cups on the floor.

”Brother Canglang? Brother Canglang?”

Yi Zhengyang looked concerned as he hurriedly walked over to check on Xie Jingshan, just as his hand was about to reach the back of Xie Jingshan’s neck, Xie Jingshan suddenly exploded into a cloud of powder.

”It’s an ambush!”

Yi Zhengyang shouted, layers of Protective Gang Qi condensed around him, watching ’Jiang Yuebai’ on the ground transform into several white vines that shot out like snakes dancing wildly.

At the same time, ’Lu Nanzhi’ seemed like a burst pouch, the outer skin breaking open, and Five-Colored Thunder Pearl shone brilliantly, exploding with a loud boom.

”Not good!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground shook, piercing lightning gathered like a tide, surging out of the house, crushing everything in its path, buildings collapsed, and the ground was pulverized inch by inch, dust swirling in the sky.

Chai Chong and Zong Lie hiding in the shadows were struck hard, a ferocious wind sweeping through them, flinging the over fifty Foundation Establishment Disciples outside the yard far away, tumbling helter-skelter, spitting blood endlessly.

The Mountain Protection Array gathered its radiance, quickly transforming into an illusion of an Iron Palm, pressing down, and dispersing the continuously interwoven Five Elements light.

When the dust settled, the Foundation Establishment Disciples struggled to climb from the ground, looking horrified.

It was like experiencing a catastrophic battle, the entire mountain leveled to the ground, leaving a terrifying crater where thunder still crackled and splattered, causing shock and fear.

Chai Chong and Zong Lie crawled out from the ruins with difficulty, blood at the corners of their lips, looking disheveled.

The two looked towards the explosion center, a Powerful Warrior illusion three yards high with dazzling golden armor was hunched over, arms crossed forward, firmly protecting Yi Zhengyang beneath it.

The Powerful Warrior, struck heavily by the Five Elements Thunder Pearl, was covered in alarming cracks.

Chai Chong and Zong Lie knew that it was the Golden Armor Barbarian God summoned by Yi Zhengyang’s cultivated Barbarian God Skill, its body strength reaching Early-Stage Nascent Soul, yet it was blasted like this in the lightning, if it were Yi Zhengyang himself, he would surely have died.

Zong Lie swallowed, involuntarily stepping back half a step.

Chai Chong was also full of shock, feeling fearful.

The Golden Armor Barbarian God illusion dispersed, Yi Zhengyang’s face flushed red, eyes blazing with anger, he had nearly fallen into a trap in the gutter!

Betrayal beyond measure!

”They can’t escape the Mountain Protection Array, search, dig three feet into the ground if you must to find them!!”

Yi Zhengyang yelled in fury, Chai Chong and Zong Lie hurried off to search.

Meanwhile, outside Iron Palm Mountain.

Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi hid in the woods, from afar witnessing the great explosion within Iron Palm Sect, revealing concern on their faces.

”Is Jiang Yuebai okay alone in Iron Palm Sect?”

Chirp chirp!

Jixiang squatted on Xie Jingshan’s shoulder, cheerfully gnawing on the Top-Grade Ore given by Xie Jingshan, while Little Hou Dou popped its head out, baring its teeth at Jixiang, looking displeased.

When Jiang Yuebai discovered the poison in the wine, she handed the Divine Concealment Talisman and Jixiang to Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi, instructing them to wait outside Iron Palm Sect.

Jixiang, having eaten well these years and progressed quickly, with rewards provided by Xie Jingshan, quietly tore open a gap in the Mountain Protection Array, which Iron Palm Sect hadn’t fully activated, a task far too easy for it.

Lu Nanzhi trusted Jiang Yuebai deeply, spoke boldly, ”Rest assured, Little Bai has her plans, with us not by her side, she can freely act.”

Xie Jingshan anxiously scratched his head, ”We’re just going to wait here doing nothing? Makes me feel guilty.”

Lu Nanzhi glanced at him sideways, ”Aren’t you the Young Master?”

Xie Jingshan: ”Um... seems like Young Masters don’t have to work, haha.”

Lu Nanzhi pondered for a moment, ”We can’t just do nothing at all. Little Bai is trapped inside the Mountain Protection Array, facing three Golden Core cultivators and many Foundation Establishment Disciples would be too overwhelming.”

Xie Jingshan nodded, looking around, ”Why don’t I set fire to the mountain? Distract the Iron Palm Sect Disciples and the Mountain Protection Array?”

”Alright, let’s do it!”

The two swiftly decided and took action.

Before long, a fire ignited from the back of Iron Palm Mountain, golden flames blazed like the sun, illuminating the dark night.

Aowoo—

The Black Dog Huo Dou, covered in Golden Crow Fire, stood tall in mid-air, with a small Three-Legged Golden Bird on its head, raising its voice to the moon, full of vigor.

The fire burned fiercer, normal water was hard to extinguish it, there was no wind in the dark night, but Xie Jingshan brandished his sword, slashing out gales, causing the Golden Crow Fire to madly spread towards the Iron Palm Sect.

”It’s on fire! Hurry, put out the fire!”

”Prepare the Water-Controlling Array!”

The Mountain Protection Array frantically absorbed underground Spiritual Energy to sustain the Protective Barrier against the Golden Crow Fire, the sound of gongs echoed inside and outside Iron Palm Sect, all disciples mobilized, heading to the back mountain to extinguish the fire.

”Canglang!”

Chai Chong and Zong Lie were close to the back mountain, saw the blazing fire, and rushed over, discovering Xie Jingshan’s whereabouts.

Chai Chong’s face was fierce and sinister, ”Canglang, the Sect Leader has treated you well, yet you repay him with betrayal!”

Xie Jingshan, accompanied by the Black Dog Huo Dou, stepped into the air, gazing at Chai Chong and Zong Lie through the Mountain Protection Array Barrier.

”I’m no fool, how could I not see your treacherous intentions? If you’ve got the guts, come out and fight me!”

Xie Jingshan had Mid-Stage Golden Core Cultivation, gravely injured and unable to conceal it at that time.

Zong Lie and Chai Chong, both Early-Stage Golden Core, hesitated facing Xie Jingshan, unwilling to leave the Mountain Protection Array’s protection.

”Lu Nanzhi, cover your ears.”

Xie Jingshan secretly transmitted to Lu Nanzhi hiding in the shadows, cleared his throat, and started a loud tirade.

”You spineless wimps, retreating faster than anyone, truly living up to the ancestors of turtles. I just want to advise you to buy a leash and chain yourselves up early, with a leash you dare bark twice, without one you only know to wag your tails begging...”

Xie Jingshan’s abusive words flowed like a river, harsh word following harsh word, enraging Chai Chong until his spirit jumped, his whole body exuding poison, finger joints cracking.

Xie Jingshan continued to insult with enthusiasm, Chai Chong, narrow-minded, couldn’t take it anymore, and charged out of the Mountain Protection Array, forcing Zong Lie to follow.

Zing!

A chilling Sword Aura suddenly soared, grazing past both their bodies.

Zong Lie broke out in a cold sweat instantly, turning to flee, but a ripple of water spread behind him, swiftly forming a Three Feet Ice Wall.

Surrounded by Demonic Qi, Lu Nanzhi was expressionless as she wielded her sword, collaborating with Xie Jingshan to encircle Chai Chong and Zong Lie.

Lu Nanzhi’s imposing aura erupted without restraint, Chai Chong and Zong Lie’s faces changed drastically.

”Late-Stage Golden Core!!”

Aowoo—

Huo Dou howled, Xie Jingshan raised his brows triumphantly.

”I won’t rest until I smash the crap out of you today, let it be said your brains are clean!”
