Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 466 – Borrowing a Knife

“Martial Uncle, why did you give up on Wasteland Town?”

That year, when the Opening Spirit School had taken down the Wasteland Town, he put in the most effort, and it was precisely because of the contributions of the strategy for winning the Wasteland Town that he was able to become a direct disciple of the Opening Spirit School.

He could understand the resentment the disciples under him must have, but as for high order cultivator, he had to consider everything.

“Disciple Tan, the territory we’re occupying is too big. It’s so big that we don’t have enough men to guard it.”

Tan Shusheng was a Successor Disciple of the Opening Spirit School after all, so he naturally had good insight as well. Hearing this, he said: “Is Martial Uncle talking about the pressure from the Alien Cultivatot the northern border of the sect, the two counties?”

“Not only that, after the death of Senior Brother Cheng Shiting, we were previously invited by the Seven Spirit Sects to participate in the battle at the border of the two counties, but in the end, we were heavily injured. My Opening Spirit School has lost the combat ability of two of our men, and adding the disturbance from the elusive Alien Cultivator, our sect no longer has the energy to guard the Wasteland Town. For the past two to three years, our sect has been sending out many cultivators to protect the Wasteland Town.”

He seemed to have already understood the sect’s difficulties. But the next piece of news that came after Spiritual Master Huang Hua caused Tan Shusheng to sink into a state of shock, “The most important thing is the news that came from our sect’s spies in the Jinyu County. The Heaven-Shaken Sect’s cyan tree has most likely advanced to the Heavenly Dipper Realm!”

Tan Shusheng suddenly raised his head and said, “What?” This is impossible, Qing Mu was far inferior to Junior Master Yuan Fei in terms of Profound Constellation Realm, so how did he manage to advance his Heavenly Dipper Realm before Junior Master Yuan Fei? ”

Spiritual Master Huang Hua revealed a wry smile and said: “This matter is truly unbelievable, but my sect’s scouts have only been able to guess from the words revealed by the Heaven-Shaken Sechat this matter is most likely true. Senior Sister Yuan Fei estimates that either the green tree has found some great lucky chance in the Hidden Sky Ruins, or it has found some quick route to success, and of course, it could also be the secret technique that the Heaven-Shaken Sect has passed on. If it’s the former, then it’s one thing, but if it’s the latter, then the green tree’s path of cultivation is definitely the same.”

“He must have used a secret technique to take a shortcut. Definitely!” Tan Shusheng muttered to himself, but he could not conceal the shock on his face.

Sighing again, Huang Hua said: “Regardless of the method used by the green tree, there is no lie in raising Heavenly Dipper Realm, but now, even our sect does not have a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, so the Heaven-Shaken Sect will definitely retaliate, do you think we can still protect the Wasteland Town?”

Tan Shusheng only felt his mouth filled with bitterness, but he still replied, “I’m afraid so, even if we can’t defend, not only can’t we protect Wasteland Town, even the Wilderness Town and the county would find it extremely difficult to defend, unless...”

“Unless the sect sends out at least another Adept to work with me to guard the city,” Huang Hua said with a wry smile. “But the sect really can’t spare the manpower anymore!”

“What about the Sandtown?”

“The Sandtown cannot be lost,” Huang Hua said resolutely. “The Sunset Ridge’s mines are extremely important to us, so the Sandtown must be in our control, moreover, we have the means to enter and exit the Mengyu County as soon as we have control over the Sandtown. When we leave the Mengyu County, do you dare say that we won’t make a comeback in the future?”

“But …”

“Martial Nephew Tan, do you still remember the Wasteland Town’s spirit vein that is about to take shape?”

Tan Shusheng was startled, his face revealing a look of pity, he said: “How come I don’t remember, the Yang Family thought that only their own Spiritual Seeker found this spirit vein, but they didn’t know that the Wasteland Town was already our sect’s territory. A spirit vein was born, how could our sect’s Spiritual Seeker be blind?”

“Whaity, originally, Martial Uncle wanted to use this spirit vein to scheme against Yang Junshan. Now that we have to retreat out of Wasteland Town, this spirit vein would be beneficial to the Yang family or the Heaven-Shaken Sect!”

“Hehe, that might not be the case!”

Seeing the puzzled look on Tan Shusheng’s face, Spiritual Master Huang Hua said with a smile, “Just as we were about to leave the Wasteland Town and, this Spiritual Master deliberately allowed a group of beasts to enter the Wasteland Town. I’m afraid that the group of beasts have already discovered that spirit vein!”

Tan Shusheng made a ‘eh’ sound, and immediately cupped his hands and said: “Martial Uncle is wise, one spirit vein is enough to attract that alien demon cultivator, and the Yang family will not let that spirit vein get their hands on anyone, both sides will definitely have a fierce battle, no matter who wins in the end, their own fighting strength will probably drop by 7 or 8, and they will not be our match. At that time, not only will they get rid of the enemy of the Yang family, they will also weaken the power of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and pull out the thorn in the middle of the Alien Cultivator, strengthening our control of the Sandtown, and solidify the power of our sect in the Sunset Ridge.

In the middle of the forest, Hu Niu stood majestically on top of a huge boulder while not a single demon beast dared to advance in her surroundings. However, these demon beasts were all still surrounding him, and even under the might of Hu Niu’s tiger, none of them dared to retreat.

“We can’t go on like this. Let’s rush out. These demon beasts might not be able to stop us.” Compared to Bao Yuer and Lin Chengsi, Yang Junxin was evidently much more warlike.

“Xin Er, don’t be rash. Xishan Village must have already received the news that we were surrounded by them. Your big brother and second brother will definitely come back to save us.” Lin Chengsi’s cultivation had not improved for many years, and he did not believe that he would be able to kill a beast. Even if he could break through, he would still be a burden that would affect others.

At this time, Bao Yuer also said, “It’s still better to be a little more careful, and wait for help quietly. With Hu Niu here, these demon beasts wouldn’t dare to go forward.

As a Ghost Cultivators, he was not involved in battles, so Bao Yuer naturally was not in favor of trying to break out of the encirclement.

However, Yang Junxin turned around and asked: “Hu Niu, what do you think is the reason behind these beasts surrounding us without attacking us?”

Hu Niu jumped down from the huge boulder, and suddenly spoke with a young lady’s voice. The atmosphere was filled witeroic spirit, and she said: “I also agree to break through the encirclement, although these beasts fear me, but if the people behind them were to forcefully control them, they would come forward to surround and attack. Since we are surrounding them and not attacking them, there must be some other scheme.”

After saying that, Hu Niu’s voice suddenly carried anger: “Dammit, if we’re at Wasteland Town, even if we’re at the borders of Wasteland Town, I can still attract beasts. At that time, everyone’s beast taming skills will be aigher level than mine!”

“Then we’ll break through!”

Yang Junxin decisively said: “This trip to the Wasteland Town is only a few dozen kilometers, we cannot wait here for death, furthermore, my brother will definitely send people to support us.”

Helpless, Lin Chengsi and Bao Yuer could only follow her and break out of the encirclement.

Yang Junxin slapped her waist, a small exquisite flying sword suddenly flew out from the storage bag and circled above her head, then called ouuppet to protect Lin Chengsi who was at the weakest. The flying sword pointed forward, and shouted: “Charge!”

With that, he rushed forward. Seeing that, Hu Niu and Bao Yuer immediately followed and protected Yang Junxin on both sides. Lin Chengsi followed closely behind.

Seeing that Yang Junxin and the rest had suddenly chosen to break through, the group of beasts surrounding them suddenly became restless, but after that, a strange roar came from the depths of the forest, the herd of beasts calmed down, and when they looked at Yang Junxin and the rest who were rushing over, their faces revealed a vicious look, and they clashed with Yang Junxin and the rest who were rushing over, and immediately, a fight broke out between the two.

A ball of sword light danced in front of her body, forming intuge ball of light. Any demon beast that rushed over would be minced into a pile of flesh, and on the way, they were simply invincible.

The herd of beasts saw that the situation was not good, and pounced towards Yang Junxin from both sides, but the left side of the demonic beast had just jumped up in mid air, and either from the neck or stomach, or it spat out a mouthful of blood, and its huge body dropped down from the sky, dying in an inexplicable manner.

As for the right wing, any demon beast that was extremely daring enough to provoke Hu Niu would definitely die under her sharp claws. Even if a Spiritual Demons Realm demon cultivator suddenly rushed out from amongst the demon beasts, it would still be hard for Hu Niu to stop her.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them, along wituppet, had already traveled a few kilometers away, but the surrounding demon beasts were still in pursuit and continued to attack them, and there were even several Spiritual Demons Realm demon cultivators mixed in the herd to launch surprise attacks. However, because of Yang Junxin’s sharp swordsmanship, and the combination of Hu Niu and Bao Yuer, the tiger demon and undead ghost, was even more powerful than cultivators of the same cultivation realm.

“Something’s not right. Along the way, we’ve killed almosundred demon beasts, and we’ve even killed four or five of them. How come the number of beasts hasn’t decreased?”

Hu Niu very quickly noticed the abnormality, and at the side, Bao Yuer was already drenched in sweat. All this time, Bao Yuer had killed almost the same amount of demon beasts as other people, but as a member of the Ghost Clan, this kind of direct combat was not meant for her. At this moment, she felt the Spirit Qi in her body floating, and was about to lose her strength.

“Cough cough, since I’ve already chosen to break through, I can’t change my mind in the middle of life and death situation. It’s best not to have any distractions during a life or death situation!” Lin Chengsi’s breathless voice came from behind.

Just at this moment, a loud roar shook the entire mountain. Yang Junxin felt that her eardrums were hurting, but Hu Niu, who was at his side, had a hint of fear in her eyes. Pulling Yang Junxin who was beside him, she roared out, “Hurry up, she’s a demon cultivator at the True Demon Realm!”

As soon as he finished his words, a hairy palm appeared in the sky above the forest, striking down towards the top of everyone’s heads as if it could cover the sky and cover the sun.

“Ah — —” Yang Junxin let out a sharp cry, throwing a foot long purple-gold colored glyph into the air. Withunderous noise, the sky above everyone’s heads turned bright all of a sudden, and from the forest in the distance, another howl came, filled with anger.
