Li Xingjian finished pointing the sword.
The atmosphere of everyone present reached a new climax, and the hidden passion and greed in each person's heart were fully aroused by Li Xingjian's use of hatred and the allure of mystic stones.
This battle must be won!
Li Xingjian was now very happy, but there was a deeper smile in his eyes.
It seemed he was brewing some sinister plot in his heart.
But everyone in the audience was still immersed in the allure of the mystic stones.
Unable to extricate themselves!
For cultivators, mystic stones were of great significance, capable of significantly increasing the cultivation speed of cultivators. Especially high-grade and supreme mystic stones, which were even very helpful for breaking through bottlenecks and advancing in cultivation realms. Therefore, the appearance of a mystic stone vein made every cultivation sect extremely envious.
Especially in the Yunqi Kingdom, where cultivation resources were relatively scarce.
It was even madness!
This mystic stone vein had actually been discovered by Shujian Mountain long ago, and they had been secretly mining it. But somehow, the people of the Earth Corpse Sect discovered it and also started mining. There were constant small-scale conflicts between the two sides, but there had never been a large-scale battle.
Seeing a large amount of mystic stone ore being taken away by the Earth Corpse Sect, Shujian Mountain was naturally very unwilling.
But they did not have a major outbreak.
Until that day, a great secret was discovered in the vein.
Everything changed.
And this great secret was the fundamental reason why Li Xingjian decided to launch this war.
Originally, Li Xingjian was very worried about this matter!
Shujian Mountain was a prestigious sect, so there had to be a reason, and they needed to find an excuse to uphold justice.
Unexpectedly, two mysterious people actually used the bodies of two Earth Corpse Sect's Earth Gang realm experts to invade Shujian Mountain. Although their true intentions for abducting Li Haoran were unknown, this invasion gave Shujian Mountain a perfect excuse to launch a sect war!
It was like a timely snowfall!
When you need a pillow to sleep, someone brings it to you.
How considerate!
Although Li Xingjian strongly suspected that there was a black hand behind this, who was Li Xingjian? He was not afraid!
The thousands of years of foundation of Shujian Mountain was not easily shaken!
Especially the great elder of Shujian Mountain, whose strength was unfathomable. Just thinking of this mainstay, Li Xingjian had no more worries.
"Earth Corpse Sect, this time you will pay dearly!"
The grudge between the two sects had long been deep, and now that they had a reason to start the war, Li Xingjian's heart was also burning with passion. It had been a long time since he had performed the sword ritual, and this time he would unleash a great slaughter!
"Direction due west, all disciples of Shujian Mountain, follow me to the Tianhuan Mountains to slay demons and defend the righteous path!"
"Slain demons! Slain demons! Defend the righteous path!"
All the disciples of Shujian Mountain were highly enthusiastic, their momentum like a rainbow.
"Good, let's go!"
Li Xingjian roared, stretching out one hand and grabbing the air.
On the square, the huge stone sword that had been standing between heaven and earth suddenly shattered, and a huge, starlight-like treasure sword flew out from it.
"Divine Sword Zhusian!"
Catching the sword, Li Xingjian led the way, a sword beam rising and leaving a long trail.
Following him were a group of Earth Gang realm experts, then some unassigned Human Gang realm disciples, and finally the ordinary Human Gang realm disciples of Shujian Mountain, each revealing their flying swords and leaping into the air to follow.
At this moment, the sky was filled with flying swords, forming a long line like a meteor shower, a spectacular sight.
Even Qin Feng could not help but marvel at this moment, the foundation of Shujian Mountain was indeed powerful, living up to its reputation as a major righteous sect in the Yunqi Kingdom.
Of course, this was just the surface strength of Shujian Mountain.
The true Shujian Mountain was even more terrifying.
At this moment, Qin Feng and Qiu Huizi were still discussing the captain issue.
"Brother Qin, who do you think our captain will be?"
Qiu Huizi's face finally looked a bit better, as he was still in the same team as Qin Feng. Although Qin Feng was seen by others as a wimp who couldn't even control a flying sword, Qiu Huizi did not think so.
He was very sure that as long as he followed Qin Feng, he would not die.
Although this thought was absurd, Qiu Huizi trusted his intuition.
Therefore, his mood had improved a lot, and his face was no longer as pale as before. The next step was to see who the captain would be. If they were lucky enough to get a captain like Zhan Bai, the survival rate of the team members would be at least fifty percent.
Qin Feng smiled and replied with deep meaning, "As long as it's not Li Haoran, you still have a chance!"
Actually, Qin Feng was just speaking off the cuff.
Who the captain was had nothing to do with him. He had already decided to leave Shujian Mountain and did not want to be involved in this battle or have any grudges with the Earth Corpse Sect.
It was not worth it for this Shujian Mountain, which he had no feelings for!
So, Qin Feng made up his mind that as soon as the war started, he would find an opportunity to slip away.
And Qin Feng's response was also very meaningful.
Li Haoran was against him, and if they were in the same team, Li Haoran would definitely keep a close eye on him and try to kill him.
In that case, one of them would definitely die.
In Qin Feng's eyes, the one who would definitely die was Li Haoran.
Even if they were not in the same team, Qin Feng would find a way to kill Li Haoran before leaving.
As long as this guy was around, Qin Feng would feel uneasy, who knew what kind of trouble this oddball could cause.
Most importantly, Qin Feng was determined to get the Seven Spirit Immortal Lotus for Fang Xinyi in the Heavenly Demon Blood Coffin.
If they were in the same team, Li Haoran would definitely die, and if he left, the team would be leaderless, and without a Human Gang realm expert leading, the whole team could be wiped out.
Therefore, Qin Feng said this.
Saying is one thing, but Qin Feng did not think that the nearly one percent chance would put Li Haoran in his team.
However, coincidences often happen unexpectedly.
When Qin Feng saw Li Haoran and two other cultivators flying towards his team, his brows immediately furrowed.
"Really, he's assigned to this team as the leader?"
Qin Feng thought, it was likely that Li Haoran had chosen this team himself. With his status as the young master, it would not be difficult for him to choose a team first.
Qin Feng did not mind Li Haoran coming to his team.
He would just kill him.
But the two cultivators behind Li Haoran made Qin Feng realize that things were not that simple.
One of the female cultivators, Qin Feng recognized, was the troublesome Huo Siyan. The other middle-aged male cultivator, Qin Feng had to be cautious about, as he was a genuine Earth Gang realm expert.
This person had an ordinary appearance, black hair, and a thick brow, with a fierce look. The most noticeable feature was a very vicious sword scar on his left cheek, which was very deep and looked like a centipede. It seemed that his entire half face had been split open when he was injured. As a cultivator, with good medicinal herbs and pills, he could have recovered without such a noticeable scar. Clearly, he had intentionally kept the scar, a common practice among many people, often used as a unique method to motivate themselves.
Li Haoran, Huo Siyan, and an Earth Gang realm expert!
Such a configuration was very strong. When the three of them flew to Qin Feng's team, the hundred people in the team actually cheered.
Most teams could only get a few Human Gang realm experts as leaders. Only a few teams could get an Earth Gang realm elder as a leader, usually if there was someone who needed special protection.
This team had one, Li Haoran.
Having an Earth Gang realm expert in a team greatly increased the survival rate, so everyone cheered.
The only ones with a bad expression were Qin Feng and Qiu Huizi.
Qiu Huizi knew a bit about the grudges between Qin Feng, Li Haoran, and Huo Siyan, so he felt things were not good.
Qin Feng's frown was because of Huo Siyan.
You, Li Haoran, come here, and bring Huo Siyan, what does that mean? Definitely not with good intentions.
As for the Earth Gang realm expert, Qin Feng sneered inwardly.
This Earth Gang realm expert was clearly sent by Li Xingjian to protect Li Haoran. He would not act unless Li Haoran was in danger. What was there to cheer about? If the ordinary Human Gang realm disciples were in danger, this Earth Gang realm expert would probably not even lift an eyelid.
It seemed this was a death squad!
Perhaps, it was a death squad tailor-made for him!
While Qin Feng was pondering, Li Haoran and the other two had already joined the team.
Li Haoran looked around the team and finally spotted Qin Feng, his eyes immediately revealing a cold, murderous intent...
Facing Li Haoran's murderous gaze, Qin Feng's expression turned cold, and a playful smile curved his lips.
Clearly, both of them had their own plans.
Huo Siyan, on the other hand, was slightly surprised when she saw Qin Feng, but it was only for a moment before her face turned cold, and she ignored him.
Qin Feng was used to it.
He would not force himself on someone who did not want to acknowledge him.
Just right, all the grudges could be settled at once!
The team was quickly assigned, and all the captains were in place during the flight. Qin Feng noticed that Zhan Bai was in a nearby team but was only a deputy captain. Another Human Gang realm seventh-stage middle-aged man was the captain, and from his cautious gaze, it was clear that he was specially assigned by Li Xingjian to monitor Zhan Bai.
"Even the basic trust is gone? Zhan Bai, why do you still stay in this disappointing Shujian Mountain?"
Sighing, Qin Feng shook his head.
Qin Feng was still the same, flying with Qiu Huizi on the same flying sword. Fortunately, the team's flying speed was not too fast, so they could barely keep up at the back.
Qin Feng leaned close to Qiu Huizi's ear and said, "Huizi, on this trip to the Tianhuan Mountains to slay demons, we might have to part ways. Brother has a word of advice, I hope you can remember it."
Qiu Huizi's face was serious, and he nodded, "Brother Feng, please speak."
Qin Feng said, "When we reach the Tianhuan Mountains, if you get the chance, try to leave our team early and seek shelter with Zhan Bai's team. Just mention my name, and Zhan Bai will ensure your safety!"
Qiu Huizi was not a fool; he was exceptionally intelligent. Qin Feng only needed to say seven-tenths of what he meant, and Qiu Huizi could understand the full meaning.
Therefore, when Qin Feng said this, Qiu Huizi immediately showed gratitude and said, "Brother Feng, I, Qiu Chujie, have always had the problem of being timid and afraid of death, which I can't change. I know you have a grudge with the young master, and my strength is not enough to help you, which I am ashamed of. But brother, you always think of me, which I greatly appreciate. Rest assured, on this trip to the Tianhuan Mountains, if I can survive, I, Qiu Chujie, will be your most loyal friend for the rest of my life!"
"Brother, you're overthinking it. Just live well and make something of yourself. In the future, who knows, you might also make a name for yourself in Shujian Mountain!"
"Um, I'll take your good wishes, brother. If that day comes, I'll bring a new look to Shujian Mountain, hehe!" Qiu Huizi laughed foolishly.
Qin Feng felt comforted by Qiu Huizi.
Do not underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people, his master had warned him.
Qiu Chujie was that kind of person. If given the opportunity, this old guy might really achieve something great.
Perhaps, if there was a chance, he should give him a hand.
Of course, the first condition was that he had to survive this battle in the Tianhuan Mountains.
The Tianhuan Mountains were only about half a day's journey from Shujian Mountain, of course, this was calculated by flying. If traveling on the ground, it would take several days.
The long flight was tough for many ordinary Human Gang realm disciples.
But fortunately, Shujian Mountain had made thorough preparations for this battle. Each ordinary Human Gang realm disciple was given two low-grade mystic stones. When their mystic energy was depleted, they could take out the mystic stones, quickly absorb mystic energy, and continue flying.
This way, everyone could reach the Tianhuan Mountains in one go.
The Tianhuan Mountains had been a disputed area between the two sects for thousands of years.
Because it was the boundary between the two sects' territories, for many years, the two sects had been fighting over the ownership of the Tianhuan Mountains, with hundreds of battles of various sizes. But a full-scale battle like today's had not happened in hundreds of years.
All of this was because of the mystic stone vein in the Tianhuan Mountains!
In the cultivation world, even a low-grade mystic stone could make cultivators kill each other, let alone an entire vein. If either Shujian Mountain or the Earth Corpse Sect obtained the mining rights to this vein, they could sweep the other sect in a hundred years, or even destroy them.
Not only that, but with this vein, the sect's overall strength could be greatly enhanced, cultivating countless Earth Gang realm experts, and gaining a voice in the Qingxuan Eastern Region.
This was the power of a vein!
A vein that could determine the life and death of two sects!
With such a big move by Shujian Mountain, the Earth Corpse Sect naturally could not sit idly by.
Therefore, when Shujian Mountain mobilized on a large scale, the Earth Corpse Sect also quickly gathered in the Tianhuan Mountains. This was a matter of life and death for the sect, and no one would let the other gain any advantage.
Therefore, when the disciples of Shujian Mountain rushed to the Tianhuan Mountains, they were stunned at the sight.
In front of them were tens of thousands of Earth Corpse Sect disciples, their faces filled with a bloodthirsty look.
Not only that, but more spectacularly, behind the tens of thousands of Earth Corpse Sect disciples were floating coffins, one for each person!
The sky was filled with black coffins, like a dark cloud covering the sky, blocking out the sun...
The Earth Corpse Sect, one person, one coffin, one corpse!
This was the hallmark of the Earth Corpse Sect. Unless you reached a certain cultivation level and could achieve the unity of person and corpse, you had to carry a floating coffin behind you wherever you went.
Inside the coffin was your own life-bound corpse.
Swords flying like meteors, black coffins filling the sky!
Shujian Mountain, a sky full of sword rain and meteors; the Earth Corpse Sect, a sky full of black floating coffins!
A battle between the righteous and the evil!
The atmosphere on the battlefield was tense, and everyone's forehead was slightly sweating.
Qin Feng was experiencing such a large-scale battle for the first time. There was no doubt that this battle would result in a bloodbath, and it would be extremely brutal...
