The Demon Slaying Array Pattern shone brightly.
It fiercely collided with the spiritual energy rainbow.
A few seconds later.
The Demon Slaying Array Pattern that was engraved in the air began to tremble violently. Soon after, in front of everyone's eyes, it began to crumble bit by bit, and was about to dissipate in the air.
However —
Just as the Demon Slaying Array Pattern was about to completely dissipate.
Suddenly.
The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth swept over.
The shocking lightning wrapped around the endless spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a terrifying blade that directly slashed towards the Endless Mountain Range.
This slash.
It directly split the air into two. Wherever the lightning passed, it left behind a scorched mark in the air.
The giant silver wolf that was originally standing on the hill.
At this moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end, as if some terrifying danger was approaching.
Then.
He saw that the shocking blade had already occupied his entire line of sight.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all.
The giant silver wolf immediately turned around and ran.
However —
He ran fast, but the blade came even faster.
The next moment!
The hill shattered. A giant silver wolf let out a mournful howl. In the end, it was sent flying by the Thunder Blade. Blood splattered on the ground in mid-air.
Finally.
The giant silver wolf powerlessly fell to the ground. A scorched blade mark on his body had almost cut him in half.
However …
With the strong vitality of the Demon Clan.
This kind of injury did not cause the giant silver wolf to die. Instead, as time passed, the blood flowing from the wound decreased bit by bit, and the wound seemed to be slowly healing.
However, every time the wound healed to a certain extent.
Lightning flashed in the wound, and the wound exploded once again.
On the other side.
The Demon Slaying Array Pattern that was originally intercepting the Demon Slaying Array Pattern was destroyed by the sudden attack. The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Fortunately.
Xiang Haogan and the others from the Array Formation Hall had already set up the array formation.
When the threat of the Demon Slaying Array Pattern was gone.
The Demon Slaying Beasts in the Endless Mountain Range finally charged towards the boundary of Liang Mountain.
When the Demon Clan stepped into the boundary of Liang Mountain.
Xiang Haogan shouted sternly, "Array, rise!"
As soon as he finished!
In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere. Ice and flames suddenly appeared, enveloping all the Demon Slaying Beasts that stepped into the range of the array.
However, this was only a high-grade array.
The strongest was only able to contend against the Demon Slaying Stage.
Even.
Even a Prominent Divine Stage demonic beast might not be able to stop him.
Moreover, in terms of durability, it was not as good as the previous Demon Slaying Array Pattern.
Therefore …
In less than half an hour after the formation was activated, all of the formations were destroyed with a loud bang. As the price for the destruction of the formations, the Demonic Beasts also left behind hundreds of corpses.
Most of them were in the Real Martial Realm, and a few had reached the Spirit Martial Realm.
The moment the formation was broken.
"All disciples of Yuan Sect, follow me and kill!" As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Feng was the first to attack. His saber carried a violent gale as it attacked a Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm demon beast.
At this moment.
The other people from the Yuan Sect also charged towards the demonic beasts.
Thirty-six phantoms streaked across the air. Black sword flashes filled everyone's line of sight before finally coalescing into a terrifying sword attack, killing an Airborne Realm monster right there and then.
Holding his sword in one hand, Sha Jianfeng's body floated towards another Demonic Beast.
Celestial Ghost Seven Kills Against the Stars!
This was a martial art that had already reached the point of entering the Dao. In his hands, it had already reached an unfathomable realm.
Even the ancestor of the Ji Clan, who had created this martial art in the past.
In terms of attainments in the Seven Kills of the Gods and Demons, the Defiant Stars was far inferior to Sha Jianfeng's current attainments.
An Airborne Realm monster was killed in an instant.
This also shocked many people.
When they saw Sha Jianfeng walking among the Demonic Beasts as if he was taking a leisurely stroll, and every time he unsheathed his sword, a Demonic Beast would fall, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"F * ck, he usually doesn't show off. This outer sect elder is too strong!"
"No, after this Beast Tide, I must find a way to become his disciple. Who knows, I might be able to learn that terrifying move from just now!"
Seeing Sha Jianfeng instantly kill an Airborne Realm monster, many of the players were taken aback.
When Sha Jianfeng broke through to the Airborne Realm, many people knew about it.
However, compared to now, there were many Visionary Saint Realm and Divine Martial Realm guests in the Yuan Sect. An Airborne Realm cultivator was not very eye-catching. Moreover, the other party was only an outer sect elder.
Compared to inner sect elders, outer sect elders did not have much real power.
Furthermore, Sha Jianfeng was usually very indifferent and did not care about anything. As such, no one wanted to become his disciple.
However, things were different now.
That mystical martial art allowed an Airborne Realm cultivator to instantly kill a Demonic Beast of the same level. Even ordinary divine-level martial arts would not be able to do so.
The battle —
It had already begun in the area of Liang Mountain.
The Yuan Sect was no longer what it used to be. In terms of strength, it was no longer the same as when it first faced the Beast Tide.
"Yuan Sect Outer Sect Deacon Xie Zhi has died!"
"Yuan Sect Outer Sect Deacon Chen Guangquan has died!"
"Yuan Sect Inner Sect Deacon —"
Qin Shujian was originally cultivating in silence. Now that he was receiving frequent system notifications, he immediately withdrew from his cultivation state.
Something happened!
This was his first reaction.
Afterward …
Qin Shujian looked at the death notifications again and found that a large number of Yuan Sect disciples had died, and this information was constantly being refreshed.
Previously, he did not receive it.
It was all because the death notifications of disciples were all blocked by him. Only when people above deacon level died would the system prompt appear.
Until now …
When he saw the series of death notifications …
Qin Shujian had a premonition that things were going to be troublesome.
"Could it be that someone is attacking Yuan Sect with all their strength while I'm not around?" His face was gloomy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why there were so many casualties in a short period of time.
Then, he saw the source of life that was constantly rising.
It was also a sign.
At this moment, a fierce battle was happening in Yuan Sect.
Suddenly …
Qin Shujian could not sit still anymore. He directly came out of the place where he was cultivating in seclusion, then found Su Mingyang and went straight to the point.
"I have a premonition that something might have happened to Yuan Sect!"
He did not directly say that he had received a system notification. This was a personal secret.
However, using the premonition as an excuse was enough.
After all, as the cultivator's realm became more and more profound, the premonition was also very accurate.
Hearing this …
Su Mingyang immediately frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Qin, are you sure?"
"That's right!"
After receiving a definite answer from Qin Shujian …
Su Mingyang's heart also sank.
Before the first wave had subsided, another wave arose.
If something happened to Yuan Sect, he could not force Qin Shujian to stay.
After all …
This was a major matter that concerned the survival of the sect. It was not something that could be replaced by other things.
It was also at this moment …
An attendant came forward and said to the two of them, "Master Qin, Master Su, Lord Yan invites you!"
The two of them looked at each other.
In the end, Qin Shujian said, "Lead the way!"
Then …
The two of them were led directly to the City Lord's Mansion by the attendant.
At this moment …
The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion was also very gloomy. Even Ming Jingshan's face was solemn and he looked worried.
Almost all the generals had arrived. Only Yan Caizhe and a few others had not appeared yet.
Seeing that Qin Shujian had arrived, Ming Jingshan also greeted him, "Sect Master Qin is here!"
"Master Ming, may I know what happened?" Qin Shujian asked tentatively.
It could be seen from the other party's expression …
Ming Jingshan must have found out about something.
Hearing this …
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Marquis Nanfeng and Marquis Luoyue have rebelled!"
It was a simple sentence …
But it made Qin Shujian's heart tremble violently.
Marquis Nanfeng!
Marquis Luoyue!
These two were not ordinary marquises. They were existences that controlled Nanfeng Mansion and Luoyue Mansion. Their status was the same as Marquis Qianshan of Thousand Mountain Mansion.
The two of them rebelled.
This meant that two more mansions were no longer under the control of the imperial court.
Qin Shujian did not expect this either.
The Human Emperor had only passed away for two or three days, and now the two marquises were openly rebelling.
It was also at this moment …
Yan Caizhe and the last few people had arrived.
Yan Caizhe just glanced at the crowd and said directly, "Marquis Nanfeng and Marquis Luoyue have rebelled. Now they are leading the army to Central State Mansion and trying to seize the imperial city. Therefore, we must withdraw our troops and go back to help."
"We are only one step away from taking down Gu Changqing. If we go back now, all our previous efforts will be wasted!" someone said unwillingly.
"The imperial city's safety is more important than anything else. If the imperial city falls into the hands of the rebels, even if we quell the rebellion of Thousand Mountain Mansion, what can we do?" Yan Caizhe glanced at him and said coldly, "Also, the order came from the imperial family. As subjects of the Great Zhao, we must go back to help."
Hearing this …
Wu Tai, Ke Yucheng, and the other deputies remained silent.
That's right.
The imperial city was the rightful ruler of the Great Zhao. They could not make any mistakes.
Or else …
Even if they killed Gu Changqing, it would be of no use.
More importantly …
The imperial family had issued an order. If they did not obey, they would be cursed in the future.
Therefore …
Retreating was something that had to be done.
They understood the importance of this matter. Therefore, when Yan Caizhe spoke, Wu Tai and the others did not express any opinions. Only those who did not know the truth and did not have access to the information of the imperial court were angry at this decision.
Even Yan Caizhe himself was unwilling to retreat at this juncture.
In order to force Gu Changqing to this point …
The imperial court had paid a heavy price.
However …
An imperial order was an imperial order.
Although a general could not obey the orders of the emperor, he had to know his priorities.
Faced with Yan Caizhe's resolute attitude, some generals did not want to retreat but had to obey the order.
However, they had to retreat.
It did not mean that they had to give up the territory in Thousand Mountain Mansion.
What Yan Caizhe and the others had to do was to ensure the safety of the cities as much as possible.
However …
These were matters of the imperial court. To Qin Shujian, it had nothing to do with him.
After Yan Caizhe decided to retreat, he stood up.
He stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Lord Yan, since you've decided to withdraw your troops, then my mission this time can be considered complete. There are still other matters within the sect that need to be dealt with, so I won't stay here any longer.
