Gu Chengfeng didn't expect that mentioning the Wang Family would be so effective in front of the Cruel Sun Palace.
However, since the giant sword cultivator was injured, he naturally had to follow up his victory.
The battle was about to begin. If he could kill a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, he would weaken his opponent's strength.
He held his Heavenly Halberd and prepared to follow up.
At this moment, a water sword flew out from the defensive light barrier and went straight for his throat.
He knew the power of the Myriad Water Origin Formation. This Three Water Combined Formation was even stronger and couldn't be underestimated.
He waved his Heavenly Halberd and shattered the water sword.
Then, he hurriedly retreated a hundred miles east of the Three River Market.
He wasn't from the Zhao Family and didn't have to risk his life for them.
Lord Waterfront and Zhao Lingjiang were also attacked by the formation.
Lord Waterfront could only fight to a draw with the man and the eagle from the Myriad Spirit Sect. Now that the formation was attacking, he might be defeated if the stalemate continued.
He naturally didn't dare to continue fighting. After shooting out two bolts of Gui Water Divine Lightning and repelling the man and the eagle, he also retreated.
Zhao Lingjiang had been suppressing the Underworld Sect cultivator. The man and the corpse didn't dare to face him directly and stayed near the formation's defensive light barrier.
Once the Gui Water Divine Lightning attacked, they would think of a way to make it hit the defensive light barrier.
Even so, they were affected by the aftershocks of the explosion and suffered heavy injuries.
After the formation started attacking, Zhao Lingjiang was also the focus of attention.
It wasn't a water sword that flew towards him, but a water python. The power of this attack was already stronger than the full strength attack of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Zhao Lingjiang's face was full of disdain. He took out a blue sword with dragon patterns.
He held the sword with both hands. Water spirit energy surged on the sword, carrying the power of thunder.
A blue water dragon appeared on his body. With a dragon roar, he swung the sword.
An aqua blue sword radiance flew out, and within the sword radiance, there was lightning.
Seeing this sword light, the Underworld Sect cultivator trembled with fear.
He subconsciously summoned a pitch-black shield to block the attack and retreated to the right.
The black bear corpse also showed fear. Instead of blocking this attack, it retreated to the side.
This situation would only happen when the master couldn't fully control the corpse.
Rank 4 refined corpses already had some intelligence. Although it wasn't high, it still knew how to hide when faced with a huge threat.
The blue sword ray was as swift and violent as lightning. In just a moment, the water python was cut into pieces.
The cultivator from the Underworld Sect used his black shield to block the attack. As a result, the mid-grade level-four black shield was cut in half like tofu. He was also sent flying by the sword light.
After falling to the ground, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted. A large gash had also appeared on the soft armor he was wearing.
The Black Bear Refined Corpse didn't manage to escape either, and one of its paws was chopped off.
After the Myriad Spirit Sect's cultivators dissolved Lord Waterfront's Blooming Water Divine Thunder, they attacked Zhao Lingjiang.
At this moment, three water pythons formed from the formation and pounced on him.
Naturally, Zhao Lingjiang wasn't stupid. With a flash of blue lightning, he disappeared.
A moment later, he appeared beside Lord Waterfront.
Waterfront King looked at him in surprise: "Brother Ling Jiang, you've mastered the Blooming Water Thunder Sword?
The heavens are really protecting my Zhao Clan. There are actually four people who can master the clan's most powerful technique. "
Zhao Lingjiang waved his hand: "It's just a beginner. I'm far inferior to Uncle, His Majesty, and His Highness the Ninth Prince.
If Uncle was here, this sword would probably be able to kill the Underworld Sect's traitor along with the Black Bear Refined Corpse.
I can only use this simplest move. Its destructive power isn't enough. "
This Blooming Water Thunder Sword was the Zhao Clan's most powerful technique. After the Zhao Clan's ancestor obtained the Blooming Water Divine Thunder, he felt that it was still very lacking.
Although it was extremely fast, its power was still far inferior to those large-scale techniques that needed to be stored up.
Thus, he fused the true meaning of the Blooming Water Divine Thunder into sword cultivation techniques and created the Blooming Water Thunder Sword.
After dozens of generations of continuous improvement, the speed of the Blooming Water Thunder Sword was only slightly inferior to the Blooming Water Divine Thunder. However, its power was far superior.
However, the difficulty of cultivating this Blooming Water Thunder Sword was extremely high.
It required one to cultivate the Blooming Water Divine Thunder to perfection. One also needed to have extremely high attainments in sword cultivation to be able to master it.
Only a few people in each generation of the Zhao Clan could master it. Now that the Zhao Clan had fallen to such a state, there were still four people who could master it. It could be considered very difficult.
Gu Chengfeng was too lazy to listen to their bragging. No matter how powerful the Zhao Clan's inheritance was, didn't it still fall to such a state?
He opened his mouth and asked, "Daoyou two, what do you plan to do with this formation?
In the past, the Myriad Water Origin Formation blocked the siege of several Golden Core cultivators. This Three Water Fusion Formation is even more powerful. Just the three of us are far from enough.
From the root, this formation is also your Zhao Clan's inheritance.
How should we deal with it? Come up with a plan. "
Linhai Wang said with a smile, "Three River Market isn't something that can be taken down in a short time. Let's find a place to settle down first."
The two didn't have any objections and led the cultivators to withdraw to the east.
The three great sects had scorched the earth and cleared the fields, leaving behind many empty spirit mountains. The Zhao Clan's forces first settled down on a few spirit mountains five to six hundred li east of the Three River Market.
The three Golden Core cultivators came to a small mountain called Jiang Yafeng. This used to be the Vermillion Spirit Mountain of a Foundation Establishment clan.
Now, the clansmen of this clan had been pulled into the Three River Market.
The three of them were in the clan's ancestral hall. Linhai Wang said, "The traitors of the three sects have placed several Golden Core cultivators in the Three River Market. Even if we attack with all our strength, it'll be very difficult to break through.
Attacking the Three River Market is using resources to compete with the three fourth grade water spirit veins. No matter how many resources we have, we won't be able to afford it.
This Three Water Fusion Formation has a very big flaw, which is that it consumes too much spiritual power.
As long as we work on the spirit veins and make them temporarily lose their effectiveness, the formation will break by itself. "
Gu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "I can't do anything to the spirit veins. If you have a way, just say it. Don't keep me in suspense."
Zhao Lingjiang asked, "Are you talking about our Zhao Clan's Seal of Mountains and Rivers?"
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers was the magic tool of the founding monarch of the Zhao Clan. Later on, it became the imperial jade seal passed down from generation to generation in the State of Zhao. It was also the symbol of the Zhao Emperor's authority.
Linhai Wang nodded. "That's right. When our ancestors established the State of Zhao, they took a wisp of the origin of all the fourth grade spirit veins in the territory and merged it into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
The three water spirit veins in the Three River Market are naturally no exception.
The spirit veins whose origin has been merged with the Seal of Mountains and Rivers will be affected by it.
As long as His Majesty brings the Seal of Mountains and Rivers to the Three River Market, we'll attack the Three River Market.
As long as the traitors of the three sects open the formation, His Majesty will activate the Seal of Mountains and Rivers to suppress one of the spirit veins.
The entire Three Water Fusion Formation's foundation is built on the three spirit veins.
Although this can increase the supply of spiritual power, as long as one spirit vein has a problem, it'll cause the entire formation's spiritual power to circulate erratically.
Those are three fourth grade spirit veins. Once there's a problem, even if the formation core doesn't collapse, it'll be greatly damaged and won't be able to recover in a short time.
At that time, ten or so Golden Core cultivators will attack together. How can we not take down the Three River Market? "
Zhao Lingjiang nodded. "It's indeed a good plan. However, His Majesty values the Seal of Mountains and Rivers very much and won't easily show it to others.
If he doesn't agree, what will we do? "
Linhai Wang played it down. "Then we'll withdraw our troops and return to Linhai Province."
The three laughed. Withdrawing their troops and returning to Linhai Province wasn't a big deal.
Linhai Wang was still the hereditary Linhai Wang, Zhao Lingjiang was still the fourth ranked expert of the Zhao Clan, and the Gu Clan was still a powerful clan that could contend with Linhai Wang. Only His Majesty was no longer His Majesty.
This time, the thirteen Linhai clans had all taken action. It could be said that they were doing their best to help the Sixth Prince restore the State of Zhao.
If he wasn't willing to take out the Seal of Mountains and Rivers at this critical moment, causing him to fail on the verge of success, who would take him seriously in the future?
Linhai Wang had his own fief. Generations of Linhai Wang had managed it for nearly ten thousand years. His family was sufficiently rich and could afford to lose.
The Sixth Prince could only rely on the support of the Zhao clansmen he'd brought with him. If this support was gone, he'd be nothing more than a downtrodden prince living under someone else's roof.
