Seven days later, more than ten bone boats covered in black Qi flew out of the Underworld Corpse Sect.
These bone boats were of different sizes. The smaller ones were more than a hundred feet long, while the longer ones were thirty to forty feet long.
These flying magic tools were filled with disciples of the Underworld Corpse Sect, and they were all flying in the same direction.
When the last bone boat flew out of the Underworld Corpse Sect, three melodious sounds of a bell suddenly rang out. Countless black Qi rolled out and quickly covered the mountain range where the Underworld Corpse Sect was located.
Wang Changsheng and Zhou Tong were on the same huge bone boat. The two of them stood at the front of the boat and whispered something.
In order to obtain more benefits, the Underworld Corpse Sect sent out hundreds of elite disciples in addition to the two late Core Formation cultivators.
Most of these disciples were Foundation Establishment cultivators, while a small number were Qi Condensation cultivators. Each of them had a corpse pouch hanging from their waists.
Wang Changsheng learned that as early as three months ago, a total of fifteen demonic sects from four countries, including the State of Qi, invaded the neighboring countries at the same time.
According to the agreement, the territory would belong to whoever conquered it first. Therefore, each of the major sects sent out a large number of people to occupy more territory.
The Yuanying cultivators of the four sects of the State of Qi had already fought with the Yuanying cultivators of the Zhao Immortal Sect and gained the upper hand. The two sides agreed that the Yuanying cultivators would not participate in this battle, and the cultivators below the Yuanying stage would be allowed to fight each other.
This news made Wang Changsheng feel more or less relieved. If the Yuanying cultivators did not participate, almost no cultivator of the same level would be a match for him.
The sudden attack of the four sects of the State of Qi caught the Zhao Immortal Sect off guard and took over a third of the State of Zhao's territory.
The Underworld Corpse Sect occupied seven counties, including two spirit stone mines and two medicine gardens. The price was the lives of a Core Formation cultivator and several hundred disciples.
Due to the ferocious attacks of the four sects of the State of Qi, Zhao's Immortal Cultivation Sect was forced to retreat bit by bit. More than half of their territory was occupied by the four sects of the State of Qi. Zhao's Immortal Cultivation Sect hurriedly invited reinforcements from two neighboring countries, temporarily blocking the attacks of the four sects of the State of Qi.
The four great sects of the State of Qi didn't want to waste too much time in the State of Zhao City. Thus, the four great sects of the State of Qi sent out orders to their respective sects to send out reinforcements.
… ….
A month later, a dozen bone boats flew into a huge mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
Not long after, the dozen or so bone boats stopped in the air above a vast plain.
On the broad plain stood two enormous cities, each of which was fifty to sixty feet tall, and a hundred miles apart from each other.
One of them was a huge black city that covered an area of several dozen miles. It was built with some kind of black brick, and its surface was engraved with multicolored mysterious runes.
On top of the city walls, there were squads of black-clad armored soldiers patrolling back and forth. In mid-air, there were dozens of black-clad armored soldiers riding on black spirit birds circling around.
Near the huge black city stood a dozen or so black stone pagodas of different heights. They were also built with some kind of black brick. The shortest one was over a thousand feet tall, while the tallest one was four to five hundred feet tall. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators were stationed at the top of each black stone pagoda, and they were constantly paying attention to the movements of the other side.
As soon as the dozen or so bone boats appeared, they were immediately discovered. An ear-piercing alarm sounded in the huge black city, and dozens of black-clad armored soldiers soared into the sky, heading straight for the dozen or so bone boats.
But at this moment, a dignified male voice suddenly sounded, "These are the reinforcements of our Underworld Corpse Sect. Don't make a fuss."
As soon as the voice fell, a cloud of black gas flew out from the huge black city, heading straight for the dozen or so bone boats.
Hearing this, the dozens of black-clad armored soldiers landed on the ground and went about their own business.
Soon, the black gas arrived in front of the dozen or so bone boats.
After the black gas faded, the figure of a middle-aged woman with a pretty face was revealed.
At the same time, a dozen or so black-clad cultivators flew out from the huge black city, heading straight for the dozen or so bone boats. These black-clad cultivators all had a skull pattern on their clothes, and they were all disciples of the Underworld Corpse Sect.
"Senior Zhou, you're finally here. This senior is …" The middle-aged woman said with a smile. When she saw Wang Changsheng beside Zhou Tong, she was slightly stunned.
"This is Brother Wang. Brother Wang joined the sect less than a hundred years ago. After forming his Gold Core, he went out to travel. Junior Xie, of course you know him," Zhou Tong introduced. He then pointed at the middle-aged woman and introduced her to Wang Changsheng with a smile.
"Brother Wang, this is Junior Xie. Junior Xie is Senior Uncle Huang's personal disciple, and she has received Senior Uncle Huang's true teachings."
"Junior Xie, nice to meet you," Wang Changsheng greeted with a smile.
"Senior Zhou, Senior Wang, Master is still waiting for you in the assembly hall. If you have anything to say, say it in the assembly hall!" The middle-aged woman said with a smile. She then turned to a tall, thin man behind her and ordered, "Junior Nephew Han, arrange a place for the new Junior Nephew and explain the situation here to them."
"Yes, Senior Uncle Xie," the tall, thin man agreed.
Under the middle-aged woman's personal guidance, Wang Changsheng and Zhou Tong flew into the huge city and landed in front of a black palace. As for the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation disciples, the tall, thin man and the others arranged a place for them to stay.
After entering the black palace, they were greeted by a bright hall about a hundred feet in size. There were already seven or eight Core Formation cultivators seated inside, and a tall, dignified yellow-robed old man sat at the head of the table.
"Greetings, Senior Uncle Huang," Wang Changsheng and Zhou Tong bowed to the yellow-robed old man and said respectfully.
"En, you've all worked hard. Martial Nephew Zhou, the one beside you should be Martial Nephew Wang who has joined our sect less than a hundred years ago, right?" The yellow-robed elder nodded. His gaze shifted, landing on Immortal Wang as he asked indifferently.
"Yes, Brother Wang has just returned from his travels. He heard that the Sect is currently at war with the Zhao Kingdom, so he followed me to the front lines to serve the Sect," Zhou Tong said respectfully.
"En, Junior Wang, you are not two hundred years old yet, right?" The yellow-robed old man nodded his head. His expression changed and he asked Wang Changsheng.
"Replying to Senior Uncle Huang, I am not yet," Wang Changsheng shook his head and said with a respectful expression.
Hearing this, the eyes of the Core Formation cultivators present flashed with astonishment.
When they were two hundred years old, they were still at early Core Formation stage. The better ones were only at mid Core Formation stage. Those who were able to reach late Core Formation stage were at least three or four hundred years old. However, Wang Changsheng had reached late Core Formation stage before he was two hundred years old. Didn't this mean that Wang Changsheng had a very high chance of condensing Yuanying and had a boundless future?
When the yellow-robed old man heard this, his eyes flashed with joy. He calmly said, "Martial Nephew Zhou, Martial Nephew Wang, sit down first! Let's discuss a few matters first. "
Wang Changsheng and Zhou Tong complied and each sat down on a chair.
"Martial Nephew Zhao, explain the battle situation to Martial Nephew Zhou and Martial Nephew Wang!" The yellow-robed old man ordered a square-faced middle-aged man.
"Yes, Senior Uncle Huang." The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Our State of Qi's Four Sects and Zhao's Five Sects have built a city here.
"Each side dispatched a certain number of Core Formation cultivators to fight in the sky above the plains. On the ground, there were several thousand cultivators fighting with Foundation Establishment cultivators as the main force and Qi Condensation cultivators as support. Originally, our State of Qi's Four Sects had the upper hand, but because the Five Sects of Zhao invited over a dozen Core Formation cultivators from the State of Wu and the State of Xi Liang, these Core Formation cultivators were able to restrain our State of Qi's Core Formation cultivators, causing us to suffer quite a bit. Fellow Daoist Li of the Blood Kill Gate was careless and died on the spot. Our Junior Martial Brother Li and Junior Martial Sister Chen were also injured by them. Fortunately, the reinforcements from the Four Sects have arrived, so there is no need to fear them."
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he inwardly nodded and his expression stirred as he asked, "Dare I ask Senior Martial Brother Zhao, when is the next battle?"
"Two days from now. According to the agreement between the Four Sects, our Underworld Corpse Sect will dispatch at least two Core Formation cultivators to participate in the battle. Brother Wang, you've just arrived and aren't familiar with the situation here. You should first observe from the side. It won't be too late to participate after you've familiarized yourself with the situation. "
Wang Changsheng had no objections to this.
"The battle cannot be delayed for too long. According to our spies, Zhao has already sent people to request for the second wave of reinforcements. The Old Man has already discussed with the Yuanying cultivators of the other three sects. They have decided to kill as many Core Formation cultivators as possible before Zhao's second wave of reinforcements arrives. Whichever sect kills more Core Formation cultivators will receive a larger share of the territory. In two days, Martial Nephew Zhao and Martial Nephew Wu will participate in the battle. The newcomers, Martial Nephew Wang and Martial Nephew Zhou, will first observe the battle from the city walls." The yellow-robed old man solemnly instructed.
"Yes, Martial Uncle Huang." Everyone responded.
Following this, the yellow-robed old man discussed the preparations for battle with everyone. After an hour, the discussion ended and everyone bid farewell to the yellow-robed old man.
"Martial Nephew Wang, you stay. I have something to ask you." The yellow-robed old man called out to Wang Changsheng and instructed him in a deep voice.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, his head was filled with confusion and he obediently stayed behind.
Not long after, only Wang Changsheng and the yellow-robed old man were left in the hall.
"Martial Nephew Wang, I heard Martial Nephew Huang say that you cultivate the 'Five Poisons Mystic Codex'?" The yellow-robed old man pondered for a moment before asking.
"Yes."
"The 'Five Poisons Mystic Codex' was obtained by the Old Man when he killed a Core Formation cultivator during his travels in the Southern Region. However, the cultivation method is incomplete. Have you been to the Southern Region in the past few decades to find the rest of the cultivation method?" The yellow-robed old man asked.
