Wang Daoyuan had met the two late Golden Core cultivators who had self-detonated. Neither of them was weaker than him.
They could also use the Gui Water Divine Lightning to restrain the Underworld Sect cultivators.
Since the Underworld Sect could force them to self-detonate, there should be a lot of Golden Core cultivators hidden in the mine.
After this, the Zhao Clan was also on guard. It was impossible for them to fall into such an ambush again.
The three major sects' hope of killing the Zhao Clan was naturally shattered. If the two sides wanted to determine the winner, they could only fight head-on.
After the self-detonation of the last two late Golden Core cultivators, the Underworld Sect had lost a lot of men. It was hard to say how much money both sides had left.
It was still unknown who would win and who would lose this battle. There was still a good show to watch.
Ever since the Wanchuan Market had been conquered, it had become the Long-legged Prince's base camp.
Three days after the Onyx Crystal Mine's defeat, more than fifty flying warships set off from the Wanchuan Market and went upstream along the Wanchuan River.
Along the way, there were various markets and flying ships of various sizes coming over.
When the group arrived at the Wanchuan Market, there were already hundreds of flying ships following behind the flying warships.
The Three River Market was divided into three parts. The Underworld Sect occupied the east of the Darkwater Estuary, while the Crescent Sun Palace occupied the west.
The Myriad Spirit Sect's territory was on a small island outside the Darkwater Estuary. It was only three or four kilometers away from the shore.
The three parts were not far from each other. The entire Three River Market was defended by a defensive formation.
The defensive formation of the Three River Market had a lot to do with the Wang Clan. It was an improved version of the Wang Clan's Myriad Water Origin Formation.
The Myriad Water Origin Formation was not unique to the Wang Clan. It was also obtained from the Zhao Clan.
The formation masters of the three major sects had upgraded the Myriad Water Origin Formation to mid-grade level four, increasing its power.
However, the improvement was not very good.
This formation was now called the Three Water Combined Formation. In fact, it was no different from the Myriad Water Origin Formation in all aspects. It was just that its power was increased by about twenty percent.
The spiritual power required to operate the formation had increased by more than fifty percent.
This improvement was a failure. There were only a few places in the entire State of Zhao that could support the Three Water Combined Formation.
Only the Three River Market, where three level four water spirit veins intersected, could support the Three Water Combined Formation with abundant spiritual power.
To be able to solve the problem of spiritual energy consumption, the power of the array was quite good.
The Three Water Confluence Formation was both offensive and defensive. If one couldn't withstand its attacks, they wouldn't be able to get close to the defensive light barrier, let alone find a flaw in it.
The Zhao Family's legacy of formations was naturally much more profound than the three major sects'. It would not be like the three major sects' situation in the past, where many Gold Core cultivators were unable to take down the Jade Spring Peak.
As long as he could suppress the offensive means of the formation, breaking the formation would not be difficult.
The three sects were not fools. Once the Wan Chuan Market was captured, Wucheng Pass would not be able to get enough logistical resources, and its collapse would be imminent.
At that time, the three sects would have to face the Song Nation and the Zhao Clan at the same time.
If they wanted to hold on, they would have to mobilize all their Golden Core cultivators to fight the enemy.
If there were no Golden Core cultivators guarding the Hanjiang Pass, it would not be able to stop the Wei Nation at all.
At that time, there would be a war between the four powers in the State of Zhao.
No matter how capable the three great sects were, they would not be able to withstand it.
The three major sects couldn't afford the price of losing Wan Chuan Market.
As soon as the long-legged prince's forces set off from the Wan Chuan Market, the three major sects took action and forcibly gathered 12 Golden Core cultivators.
Among them, the Netherworld Sect sent two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators and one mid-grade and upper-grade level-four refined corpse.
The Cruel Sun Palace sent two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, while the Hanjiang Pass had to send at least one Golden Core cultivator.
The Cruel Sun Palace was the weakest and could only send two late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
The Thousand Spirit Sect was still wealthy and sent two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, one mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and three spirit beasts of the same level as their master.
These people and spirit beasts had never shown their faces before.
When the news came, Wang Daoyuan was also shocked. The three major sects were still very rich.
If they really took out all their assets, the weakest Cruel Sun Palace would probably have more than ten Golden Core cultivators.
When the long-legged prince's subordinates arrived at the Three River Market, the Three Water Fusion Array had already been activated.
The Golden Core cultivators of the three great sects also didn't wait in the Three River Market. Instead, each of the three sects sent a Golden Core cultivator, a refined corpse, and a rank four spirit beast to wait outside the formation.
However, they were less than fifty miles away from the array, which was also within the array's attack range.
With the array as support, these five Golden Core cultivators were enough to withstand the attacks of ten Golden Core cultivators.
The flying warships of the Zhao Family were all stationed a hundred miles east of the Three River Market.
As for the flying ships carrying the scapegoats, they were all two hundred miles away.
The five Golden Core cultivators of the three sects waited outside the array, not daring to approach.
Three Golden Core cultivators walked out of the two leading flying warships.
One of them wore an aqua blue python robe and smiled. "Brother Ling Jiang, Gu Daoyou, let's test the strength of these traitors of the three sects together."
Gu Chengfeng added, "I've had this intention for a long time. When I fought with that junior Wang Daoyuan last time, I could only gain the upper hand, but couldn't win quickly.
I just don't know if the Golden Core cultivators to the west of the Sky Slash Mountain Range are all so difficult to deal with. "
Zhao Lingjiang's hair was white and he shouldn't be young anymore. He wore an aqua blue robe.
In terms of spirit power fluctuations, he was slightly stronger than Lord Waterfront and Gu Chengfeng.
The three of them left the flying warship and attacked the cultivators of the three sects outside the array.
The Underworld Sect cultivator brought an upper-grade level-four black bear refined corpse to meet Gu Chengfeng. The other two were from the Zhao Family and knew the Gui Water Divine Lightning, which countered the Underworld Sect cultivators.
The Thousand Spirit Sect late-stage Golden Core cultivator brought his golden condor to meet Zhao Lingjiang.
The last Golden Core cultivator of the Cruel Sun Palace faced Lord Waterfront.
The three from the Zhao Family weren't fools. As soon as the battle started, Zhao Lingjiang condensed a Gui Water Divine Lightning and smashed it at the black bear refined corpse.
Seeing this, the Cruel Sun Palace cultivator slashed at Zhao Lingjiang with a huge earthen yellow sword.
Gu Chengfeng took out his bone halberd and met the huge sword cultivator head-on.
Lord Waterfront also relied on the power of his own Gui Water Divine Lightning to fight the Thousand Spirit Sect cultivator and the golden condor.
The Gui Water Divine Lightning was powerful, but the Thousand Spirit Sect was fighting two against one, so the two sides could fight to a draw.
Zhao Lingjiang was completely trampled on by the Underworld Sect cultivator.
The Underworld Sect cultivator was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. His refined corpse was at the upper-grade level-four, but it was far weaker than the refined corpses of the Ten Thousand Corpse Daoist.
In addition, the Gui Water Divine Lightning carried the power of thunder. Even if one person and one corpse used all their methods, they could only passively take a beating.
Gu Chengfeng and the huge sword cultivator were both of the earth attribute and walked the path of body refinement.
But Gu Chengfeng's cultivation was higher and he suppressed the huge sword cultivator.
As he fought, he said, "No wonder they say the Wang Family's inheritance is the nemesis of the Cruel Sun Palace. They are much weaker than Wang Daoyuan and even my grandnephew Gu Changqing is inferior."
He also knew about the conflict between the Wang Family and the Cruel Sun Palace, so he deliberately provoked the huge sword cultivator with these words.
How could the huge sword cultivator tolerate being said that he was inferior to the Wang Family in front of the Cruel Sun Palace cultivator?
The image of a brown bear appeared on his body and his spirit power increased greatly.
Gu Chengfeng smiled contemptuously and the image of the Yellow Mane Kirin appeared on his body.
Although the Yellow Mane Kirin was only a half divine beast, its aura was very close to Kirin.
Kirin was the king of all beasts. When the Yellow Mane Kirin appeared, the giant bear image's aura weakened greatly.
Gu Chengfeng swung his halberd towards the huge sword cultivator. The huge sword cultivator didn't back down and swung his sword to meet it.
The halberd swept the huge sword cultivator and the huge sword cultivator was sent flying with his sword, crashing into the light shield of the defensive formation.
His body was strong and he didn't suffer any serious injuries. But his hands holding the huge sword trembled slightly and his blood surged.
Gu Chengfeng mocked, "This is a normal middle stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, not like that junior Wang Daoyuan. He's only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but he can still fight with me in terms of physical strength."
The huge sword cultivator was originally fine, but when he heard this, his face turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
