At the Training Ground of the New Moon Sect, a crowd was bustling. Disciples from the Top Ten Factions hurriedly gathered, while six Dapengs from the Sky circled above the New Moon Sect, with two already carrying several cultivators flying off into the distance.
None of the major figures from the Six Major Sects were present; only Chu Wushang from the New Moon Sect was there. Several elders at the Late Stage of Golden Core were boarding the Dapeng, and soon two more Dapengs took off with High-Level Cultivators.
All disciples of the New Moon Sect, including those from Mistaken Sword Hall, had rushed to the Training Ground. Along with the cultivators from the Top Ten Factions, there were four to five hundred people packed into the area, all looking tense and confused about what was happening. A few Early Stage of Golden Core cultivators from the New Moon Sect were directing the restless crowd to stand in their designated positions.
“Xu Feng,” Chu Wushang also flew onto a Dapeng, standing beside Qiu Wuling and three other Late Stage of Golden Core elders from different factions. Qiu Wuling waved to Xu Feng and shouted, “Hurry up, we’re leaving soon!”
Without thinking too much, Xu Feng leaped onto the back of the Dapeng. Cai Shujun wanted to follow but was ruthlessly stopped by Qiu Wuling.
With a loud cry, the Dapeng took off into the sky. On the Training Ground, the cultivators in charge of managing the scene were still shouting, “Cultivators below Golden Core Stage should return and be ready for battle at any time. Seniors above Golden Core Stage please stay here; White Eagle from Spirit Beast Manor will be arriving soon, and we will head to Wan Jian Sect together.”
Something had happened at Wan Jian Sect!
On the back of the Dapeng, Chu Wushang explained this sudden incident to Xu Feng. It turned out that at noon, seven people from Wan Jian Sect suddenly went mad, shouting angrily. First, Grand Elder Zhu Wanda of Wan Jian Sect rushed out in a panic, followed closely by Sect Leader Zhu Kaiping and a few remaining elders who also flew out in fury.
The on-duty disciples quickly reported this information to Chu Wushang. From what they heard in fragments, they concluded that all disciples detained by Nine Dragon Pool had been killed! No wonder those from Wan Jian were going insane; it was akin to a vendetta against their entire clan.
Fearing for the safety of those from Wan Jian Sect, Chu Wushang immediately rang the bell for assembly. Several Grand Elders had already rushed ahead to Wan Jian Sect. Following them were high-ranking elders from the Top Ten Factions; Chu Wushang stayed behind to organize matters.
The Dapengs of New Moon Sect successively sent out experts from Ten Factions while notifying Spirit Beast Manor to send nearby White Eagles for assistance.
Xu Feng was among the last batch of “powerful warriors.”
Both New Moon Sect and Wan Jian Sect were sects backed by Beast Wasteland and were less than five thousand miles apart; it wouldn’t take long for the Dapeng to reach them. Xu Feng's group consisted of only six people, and flying on the Dapeng was quite effortless and fast.
Three hours later, Xu Feng’s group arrived at the foot of Wan Jian Sect's mountain.
What greeted their eyes was devastation—numerous trees had been cut down midway, rubble and weeds were scattered everywhere, and a faint mist carried a bloody scent. There were no visible corpses on the ground, and an eerie silence enveloped the surroundings.
"You're late, let's go." Chu Wushang gazed into the distance following the traces of the battle as Dapeng soared upward. The intensity of the fight was evident; the level of destruction surrounding them far exceeded that of a Golden Core Cultivator, indicating that it was likely the first batch of Nascent Soul Period Cultivators engaging with Nine Dragon Pool.
The signs of battle became increasingly apparent as they traversed the wilderness of Beast Reject City. They had forcefully created a breach from another location to enter Beast Wasteland, suggesting that Nine Dragon Pool was both fighting and retreating, without time to take the original route through Beast Reject City.
Xu Fengxin understood that after their previous battle, Nine Dragon Pool decided to abandon their ambitions in Liuxiang Kingdom and retreated after killing all the disciples detained from Wan Jian Sect, which triggered a pursuit by the Ten Factions.
Nine Dragon Pool's destination was undoubtedly where the Teleportation Array was located.
Less than ten miles into Beast Wasteland, faint sounds of combat could be heard. After nearly four hours of pursuit, they finally caught up with Nine Dragon Pool's people.
Dapeng accelerated and soared five miles. The scene of fierce combat immediately unfolded before Xu Feng.
The first group of elders from the Six Major Sects at the Nascent Soul Stage were entangled in battle with three members of Nine Dragon Pool. The first to arrive, Zhu Wanda from Wan Jian Sect, had been injured and stood at a distance healing himself. The remaining five Yuan Ying Cultivators surrounded Xiang Ge from Nine Dragon Pool, engaging in a fierce fight.
"Is it her?" Xu Feng had never seen a Yuan Ying Cultivator from Six Major Sects before. At this moment, he recognized Qiu Shisan, who tended to the plants in Cold Fragrance Courtyard, and couldn't help but be surprised; it turned out that the leader of New Moon Sect was actually her!
The battle among the Yuan Ying Cultivators was exceptionally fierce, with eight magical artifacts clashing violently. Within a hundred meters, powerful energies surged forth, devastating everything in their path; any Golden Core Cultivator could not intervene, and any Foundation Establishment Practitioner caught in the energy would either die or be severely injured.
The eight Yuan Ying Cultivators were divided into three groups. Hua Fengxiao from Wuhua Island faced off against Xiang Ge from Nine Dragon Pool, while Qiu Shisan and Qian Wuqie from Guo Shan Sword Sect attacked Gao Shou together. Chai Ke Fu from Guiyi Sect and Lyu Xiangrong from Star River Sword Sect teamed up against Duan Qizhang.
The three members of Nine Dragon Pool were at Mid Stage of Nascent Soul with Medium-Grade Magical Artifacts. Hua Fengxiao from Wuhua Island was at Nascent Soul Early Stage but wielded a Superior Magical Artifact, the Azure Dragon Whip. The other four factions, including Zhu Wanda, were also at Nascent Soul Early Stage with Medium-Grade Magical Artifacts.
After repelling the desperate Zhu Wanda, Xiang Ge sustained minor injuries. Although Hua Fengxiao was one realm lower, his use of a Superior Magical Artifact made him formidable. With Xiang Ge already injured, their strengths balanced out in their confrontation. Wuhua Island ranked first in Liuxiang Kingdom largely due to this Superior Magical Artifact.
Xiang Ge's magical artifact was a large sword—not just any large sword; when held in hand it measured only three feet long but could expand twentyfold with a swing, reaching over twenty meters in length. The surrounding fallen trees were mostly due to his actions alone. Even his two younger brothers dared not approach too closely for fear of being accidentally harmed.
Hua Fengxiao's Azure Dragon Whip was also high quality; he did not dare to engage too closely. Instead, he controlled the Azure Dragon Whip to circle around Xiang Ge while Xiang Ge occasionally counterattacked with one or two strikes. Both maintained offense and defense against each other in an evenly matched duel.
"Good sword!" Xu Feng thought to himself. He came from a background of martial arts and had a deep fondness for close-combat weapons.
Qiu Shisan's magical artifact surprised Xu Feng; it was the gardening shears she used for trimming plants. No one would believe that a pair of shears used by an old woman for cutting flowers and grass could be a Medium-Grade Magical Artifact.
Although Qiu Shisan and Qian Wuqie were at a lower cultivation level, they were fighting two against one, resulting in a stalemate.
On the other hand, Duan Qizhang was facing some trouble. He was slow to warm up and often acted as a mediator between Xiang Ge and Gao Shou, maintaining a calm demeanor. However, Chai Ke Fu and Lu Xiangrong were not easy opponents; they attacked fiercely while shouting loudly, leaving Duan Qizhang flustered and in perilous situations.
The eight magical artifacts were all different, and in the hands of Yuan Ying Cultivators, they were significantly more powerful than when used by Golden Core Cultivators. Outsiders had no chance of intervening unless they possessed Yuan Ying-level strength; otherwise, it was best to stay out of the way.
Chu Wushang understood this well; this was a decisive battle that would determine the course of the war, and it was not something they could interfere with.
The six individuals rode the Dapeng towards the distant Golden Core Battlefield, where fierce battles were already underway. The participants were the backbone of various sects, while the dozen or so individuals remaining at Nine Dragon Pool were also formidable.
Five batches of High-Level Cultivators arrived one after another, surrounding the ten or so individuals in a three-to-one situation. The Liuxiang Kingdom cultivators were slightly at a disadvantage, but Nine Dragon Pool showed no interest in prolonging the fight; they just wanted to leave quickly. Meanwhile, reinforcements from Ten Factions continued to arrive, making it difficult to determine which side held the upper hand.
Twenty miles away from Beast Wasteland, there were no high-level beasts present. As soon as this batch of High-Level Cultivators arrived, chaos erupted in the forest as second- and third-tier beasts fled for their lives.
Xu Feng and his companions jumped off the Dapeng without any formal greetings and joined the fray. Chu Wushang wasted no time and unleashed a yellow shadow attack on a Nine Dragon Pool cultivator using the Soul-Cutting Scissors, an artifact Xu Feng had given to Qiu Wuling.
Chu Wushang worked diligently and selflessly, finally earning Qiu Wuling's recognition as the first leader among Six Sects to possess a magical artifact.
Xu Feng took out his recently upgraded Moonchaser Bow and spread his Wings of the Strange Dragon, soaring above the chaotic battlefield.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spiritual Arrows shot into the crowd, immediately causing shrieks from Nine Dragon Pool cultivators engaged in battle. The upgraded Moonchaser Bow was far more powerful than before; each arrow could rival the lethality of Late Stage Golden Core attacks. Anyone struck would either die or be severely injured.
Xu Feng's arrows were both swift and accurate. Some Nine Dragon Pool cultivators recognized him and gritted their teeth in frustration. However, Xu Feng soared high above their reach; they couldn't hit him even if they tried. They hated him but felt powerless—oh how annoying...
In the chaos of battle, someone was finally hit by Xu Feng's arrow. As soon as he was injured, his original opponent surged forward and was quickly hacked to death by a flurry of blades.
The cultivators from Nine Dragon Pool sensed the danger; with so many people around, it was inconvenient to dodge, and they couldn't spare anyone to pursue him alone. They had no choice but to scatter in all directions. With fewer people around, it became much harder for Xu Feng to hit his targets directly.
Xu Feng resembled a hungry hawk, surveying the prey beneath him. As soon as he spotted a weak or injured opponent, he would swoop down and shoot a few arrows. If he could kill them, he would; if not, he would simply fly away.
Qiu Wuling dared to let Xu Feng, who was at the Early Stage of Golden Core, come along because she knew that even if Xu Feng couldn't defeat his opponents, he could at least protect himself. Moreover, having obtained multiple magical treasures, Xu Feng must have some extraordinary skills up his sleeve.
Seeing that the Nine Dragon Pool members were becoming increasingly scattered under his arrows was just what Xu Feng wanted. As soon as someone strayed too far from the group, it would be the perfect moment for him to use his Ice Spider Web.
Qiu Wuling fought fiercely among the crowd with her sword and quickly teamed up with three others to drive their opponents into retreat. She did not use the Golden Snake Cone that Xu Feng had given her, likely waiting for an opportunity. After all, with Qiu Wuling's strength, she could hold her own even without magical treasures. If she activated the Golden Snake Cone, it would surely be a lethal strike.
Being prominent made her a target for the Nine Dragon Pool members' attacks. Even if she managed to gain something in the chaos, it was not easy to collect spoils of war. Like Xu Feng, Qiu Wuling was also looking for a chance to engage in one-on-one combat. With her abilities and the Golden Snake Cone, almost no one among the Nine Dragon Pool cultivators could match her.
The opportunity arose when a Nine Dragon Pool cultivator who thought himself fast managed to shake off the pursuit of Ten Factions cultivators and darted deep into the forest. Qiu Wuling smiled coldly; she circled around a few times and took advantage of the moment when he was unaware to rush toward that Nine Dragon Pool cultivator's direction.
