Chapter 91: Crushing Cloud Heaven Valley, Slaying the Immortal Vine, a Chaotic Battle! (Part 2)
Chapter 91: Crushing Cloud Heaven Valley, Slaying the Immortal Vine, a Chaotic Battle! (Part 2)
But now, almost everyone in Cloud Heaven Valley was focused on the battle, as if heaven was aiding them.
This was the perfect time to act!
"Scatter!"
The Great Elder gave a low command, and the crowd dispersed.
Long Aotian and Yun Ruofu continued their fierce battle.
Yun Ruofu fought with increasing unease.
Long Aotian, on the other hand, was fighting with growing excitement.
Throughout his journey, he had either instantly defeated his opponents or been defeated himself. He had rarely encountered an opponent who could give him a satisfying battle.
But at this moment, he had finally found one.
Although it was an older man and not a peerless talent, he could still let loose and have a good fight.
But...
Cloud Heaven Valley must still be destroyed.
That peerless talent in hiding must also die!
Long Aotian's attacks were even more aggressive, each punch like a mountain pressing down, making Yun Ruofu curse inwardly...
Zheng Shanhe received the news, and all their strong cultivators were already in position.
"Investigate!"
At his command, everyone sprang into action.
In a short while, Zheng Shanhe received a response: "Sect Leader, we've found it!"
"I've found it too."
"The distribution map is real, and now, the core of the Cloud Heaven Valley's Clan Defense Array is right before us."
"Excellent!"
Zheng Shanhe rejoiced, "Despite the unexpected events, destiny is on our side."
"This is heaven's aid!"
"Follow the plan, and in a breath's time, we'll strike together!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!!!"
The Mountain River Sect members were also extremely excited.
The annihilation of Cloud Heaven Valley was within reach!
The feud between the Mountain River Sect and Cloud Heaven Valley wasn't just Zheng Shanhe's personal grudge; it involved the entire sect.
Over the years, numerous battles had been fought, with victories on both sides, but no one had managed to gain the upper hand. Yet, in every war, there were casualties.
Among the fallen were powerful disciples, brothers and sisters, elders, Dao companions, and even family members.
As a result, the enmity between the two sects had become so intense that it was beyond reconciliation, and both sides sought to eliminate the other.
Now, the opportunity had arrived!
In the blink of an eye, a breath's time passed.
The prepared Mountain River Sect experts took action simultaneously.
Boom!
A muffled sound reverberated.
Then, as if triggering a chain reaction,
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
The muffled sounds continued endlessly.
The Cloud Heaven Valley members were all bewildered, unaware of what had happened.
The elders quickly extended their divine senses, only to discover that the core of their Clan Defense Array had been breached!
"Not good!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
Even the most foolish among them realized what was happening.
It was clearly an enemy assault!
"The Clan Defense Array has been breached; this is a matter of life and death. All disciples, prepare for a major battle!!!"
They called out, rushing to various locations to intercept the invading enemies and buy time for their disciples.
The independent formations of each peak activated...
At the same time, the 'massive transparent turtle shell' that enveloped the entire Cloud Heaven Valley began to crack, then shattered and disappeared inch by inch.
"Kill!"
Zheng Shanhe roared, charging into the Cloud Heaven Valley at the forefront.
Numerous powerful experts from the Mountain River Sect followed closely behind.
"The opportunity has come!"
"Hahaha, the Clan Defense Array has been breached!"
"Let's charge in together and annihilate Cloud Heaven Valley today!"
"Cloud Heaven Valley, with your countless evil deeds, you killed my entire family. How dare you?"
"Die! All of you, die!!!"
The small factions hiding in various places, along with the wandering cultivators, had been waiting for the Mountain River Sect to make their move. As soon as the Mountain River Sect took action, they followed suit without hesitation.
Taking advantage of their enemy's weakness, they struck without mercy.
In an instant, countless cultivators swarmed into the Cloud Heaven Valley from all directions, their numbers resembling a swarm of locusts!
Boom!
The air exploded.
Yun Ruofu and Long Aotian were sent flying simultaneously, Yun Ruofu's expression changing drastically, filled with anger. "Zheng Shanhe, how dare you!"
"What is there to fear?"
Zheng Shanhe laughed maniacally, "Today, I'll wipe out Cloud Heaven Valley!"
Yun Ruofu, enraged, turned to charge at Zheng Shanhe, but was blocked by Long Aotian.
"Our battle is not over yet!"
"Your opponent is me."
Long Aotian, in the heat of battle, couldn't let Yun Ruofu leave just like that.
Although he had been enjoying the thrill of defeating opponents instantly, he now yearned for a more intense and satisfying battle.
Finally, he had found an opponent who could provide such a challenge.
However...
Long Aotian was also bewildered.
He had chosen tonight to attack because it was an auspicious day, and he needed these few days to enhance his strength.
His reason for attacking Cloud Heaven Valley was to silence that fool and make him kowtow.
But what was happening now?
Suddenly, so many people appeared, breaking Cloud Heaven Valley's formation and launching a full-scale attack.
What had transpired?
Long Aotian was confused but didn't see any issues.
After all, Cloud Heaven Valley was destined to be destroyed.
Whether he did it alone or with others made no difference.
Moreover, if he acted alone, he would have to pay a significant price.
Having help...
That was a good thing!
After considering this, Long Aotian decided to continue his assault, regardless of the Mountain River Sect and the 'locusts.'
He didn't care about the others, but Yun Ruofu was furious, his eyes nearly bursting with rage, "You bastard, you're from the Mountain River Sect! You're all in cahoots!"
"How dare Zheng Shanhe do this?!"
"This is outrageous! You, come and die before this Valley Master!!!"
Yun Ruofu had been holding back during the previous battles, refraining from using techniques that would harm the enemy but also himself. But now, he couldn't afford to hold back anymore and decided to take drastic measures.
Even if he got injured, he had to defeat Long Aotian as quickly as possible.
However, he underestimated Long Aotian.
Long Aotian also possessed such techniques, and his were even more powerful!
Therefore, despite Yun Ruofu's all-out effort, he couldn't defeat Long Aotian and instead found himself at a disadvantage.
Not only could he not save Cloud Heaven Valley, but he was also losing the battle himself!
"How, how could this be?!"
"Just how powerful is this man?!"
Yun Ruofu's mind was in chaos, but he dared not let his guard down for a moment.
Otherwise, he feared he might perish before Cloud Heaven Valley.
Thus, he could only fight while instructing the elders and overseers to lead the disciples in resistance.
As for who would stop Zheng Shanhe...
He could only hope that the elders in secluded cultivation would take action.
...
Within Cloud Heaven Valley, everyone united in resistance.
Chaos erupted in an instant.
However, each of the valley's spirit mountains had its independent formation, which, though not powerful, could temporarily hold off the attackers.
As a result, there were no significant casualties in Cloud Heaven Valley for a short time.
(Chapter End)
It was only a matter of time.
Aware of this, all the elders were anxious, daring not to relax for a moment, let alone delay.
"Quick, join forces!"
"Disciples with lower cultivation, follow the usual formation and fend off the enemy!"
"Sixth Firmament Realm elders, hold back for now, stay in the center, and respond wherever needed!"
"Please activate the Clan Guardian Spirit Plant, the Skysoaring Immortal Vine..."
"Not good!!!"
"Their target is the Skysoaring Immortal Vine, protect it at all costs!!!"
"Act now, act now, immediately! Once the Skysoaring Immortal Vine is killed, we will lose a significant advantage, and Cloud Heaven Valley will be in grave danger!"
They initially thought the enemy was targeting their people.
But to their surprise, Mountain River Sect disregarded martial ethics and boldly went straight for the Skysoaring Immortal Vine.
Alarmed, they rushed over to support the Skysoaring Immortal Vine.
"Ninth Elder, you don't need to act. Go to the Sect's Forbidden Ground and request the Venerable Ancestor's intervention!!!"
Boom!!!
The battle between the two sects erupted in full force.
However...
Mountain River Sect had the advantage with the deployment map in hand and seized the initiative. With only a portion of their forces engaged, they temporarily halted the Cloud Heaven Valley elders.
Simultaneously, Zheng Shanhe led his troops, advancing without hindrance, and reached the location of the Skysoaring Immortal Vine.
The Skysoaring Immortal Vine had awakened, possessing spiritual intelligence, albeit not very high. Still, it could sense the murderous intent of these people and resisted.
But it was still in its 'growth phase', far from maturity. Even if it couldn't bind immortals, it struggled to bind even a Sixth Firmament Realm peak cultivator like Zheng Shanhe! And with the help of other Mountain River Sect elders..."
Despite the Skysoaring Immortal Binding Vines' frantic efforts, employing all means, and even suffering severe injuries, their attacks were thwarted. Finally, Zheng Shanhe, at the cost of minor injuries, successfully reached the core and unleashed the ultimate technique he had prepared for a long time!
The Skysoaring Immortal Vine was a formidable opponent.
Therefore, Mountain River Sect had a plan, but they couldn't execute it until they reached the core. Even with the ultimate technique, they couldn't use it. But now, they had the chance!
The ultimate technique exploded at the core, and the Skysoaring Immortal Vine stiffened, followed by its massive body shattering and crumbling into pieces!
In just an instant, it vanished before their eyes.
"Huh?"
Although Zheng Shanhe successfully killed it, he frowned slightly.
"The divine soul... is gone?"
He was certain he had hit his target.
But he couldn't sense the dissipating aura of the Skysoaring Immortal Vine's divine soul.
He swept his divine sense but still couldn't locate the opponent's soul.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much.
After all, even if its divine soul remained, without a physical body, it couldn't cause any trouble in a short time. It was better to focus on annihilating Cloud Heaven Valley as much as possible!
He glanced at Yun Ruofu, who was still battling Long Aotian but had gone mad upon witnessing the death of the Skysoaring Immortal Vine. Zheng Shanhe smirked, "Your time has come too?"
"All disciples of Mountain River Sect, follow your Sect Leader and kill!!!"
Boom!
Like a wolf among sheep, Zheng Shanhe, a Sixth Firmament Realm peak cultivator, unleashed his power, and the battle became a one-sided slaughter. No one could stand in his path!
If only Yun Ruofu could fight back, if only the Skysoaring Immortal Vine could fight one-on-one...
Even if the Clan Defense Array hadn't been breached, the outcome would still be dire.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
In just an instant, Zheng Shanhe had slaughtered in all directions, leaving few to block his path.
Cloud Heaven Valley still had some elders.
But Mountain River Sect had emptied its nest, and their elders were no less in number! With the addition of Cloud Heaven Valley's other enemies and various rogue cultivators causing trouble...
The manpower was already insufficient, and no one could stop Zheng Shanhe.
Wherever he went, one Spirit Mountain after another exploded.
At the same time, in a secret cave ten miles below the Skysoaring Immortal Vine, Tang Wu, with his father's encouragement, to seal and refine the divine soul of the Skysoaring Immortal Vine using the secrets of the Martial Soul System, integrating it into his first Soul Orb in the shortest time possible!
"You just wait!!!"
Hiding here, Tang Wu was both excited and furious.
Long Aotian?!
Once I have my Soul Orbs, I'll slay you!
...
Wang Yulin, Chen Bixuan, and the six sect leaders and elders were all shocked, unable to remain calm at this moment.
They had experienced many great battles.
But if they compared this battle to the previous ones, it wasn't even close.
They almost became cannon fodder, but Liu Ergou's timely intervention saved them. Otherwise, they would have been instantly defeated! The battle to exterminate a minor sect was terrifying!
"More people are coming, and not just a few!"
Liu Ergou's words drew everyone's attention.
Just...
Most people were left bewildered by this statement.
They couldn't sense anything!
Liu Ergou continued, "Most of them are Sixth Firmament Realm cultivators, and they've already noticed us, but since we have no conflicts or grudges, and our goals are similar, they won't take action."
Liu Xun suddenly realized, "Are they from second or third-rate sects and factions, here to fish in troubled waters?"
"It's not surprising, I suspected they wouldn't do anything."
turning to Lin Fan, "They probably won't make their move right away, but will wait until Cloud Heaven Valley's forces are completely wiped out."
"We should also keep an eye on them and strike as soon as the opportunity arises."
"But..."
"There shouldn't be any unexpected changes, right?"
Liu Xun blinked, "What changes? In this situation, can Cloud Heaven Valley still make a desperate comeback?"
"Lin, you're worrying too much. Under these circumstances, Cloud Heaven Valley can't possibly turn the tables. A single spit from any of us is enough to drown them. Rest assured."
As he spoke, the powerful cultivators from the Liu Family frowned slightly, their eyes darting around, speechless for a moment.
Even Liu Ergou, who usually spoke eloquently, was at a loss for words.
Oh, my dear young master!
Why are you so naive?
This makes you seem so inexperienced, doesn't it?
With the Liu Family's future in your hands, how can we feel at ease?
Lin Fan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Brother Liu, you're so cute.
But it's better to remind him, lest he gets taken advantage of later and ends up counting money for others.
"Brother Liu, don't be careless. Although the situation looks favorable, Cloud Heaven Valley has survived for so long, they must have unique strengths and a deep foundation."
"Perhaps there are some ancient cultivators who can make a desperate comeback."
"As for the powerful cultivators who haven't taken action yet, they're here to fish in troubled waters and gain benefits. They're not a united front, and they won't only target Cloud Heaven Valley."
"They're not here to help Mountain Seizing Sect, nor are they specifically against Cloud Heaven Valley. They're here for their own interests."
"In other words, they'll support whoever wins."
"If Mountain Seizing Sect suffers significant losses here, they'll immediately turn their guns towards them to seize resources. If Mountain Seizing Sect is destroyed, then Cloud Heaven Valley will become their target."
"Hmm?"
Liu Xun shuddered and then realized.
He frowned, "How can they do this?!"
"Clearly, they're helping whoever wins, but they..."
"Because they have no grudges with either side, they only care about their interests. They don't want to stir up trouble, so they'll naturally pick on the weaker side."
"Actually... we're the same."
Lin Fan lowered his voice, "In this world of the survival of the fittest, when we can gain benefits without bloodshed, who cares whose interests they originally belonged to?"
"..."
Liu Xun fell silent.
Although he wanted to refute, after careful consideration, he had to admit that this was indeed the case.
"We have a grudge against Cloud Heaven Valley, so we're here to settle scores."
Lin Fan added, "Also, personally, if there's a chance to hasten their destruction, I won't stand idly by and watch."
He couldn't help but think of his own Bright Moon Sect, once a giant in the Southwest Domain.
Even without being destroyed, just showing signs of decline, attracted countless factions to kick them while they were down, fish in troubled waters, and seek benefits.
In the end, they managed to preserve their last drop of bloodline and the last bit of their Dao legacy—a miracle within a miracle.
He guessed there must be some hidden secrets.
"Hmm?"
"Look, an ancient cultivator from Cloud Heaven Valley has emerged from seclusion!"
Lin Fan's expression changed.
Everyone quickly focused their gaze.
...
"Mountain Seizing Sect, you're seeking your own demise!"
Boom!
Towards the forbidden area of Cloud Heaven Valley, the ancient Spirit Mountain exploded, and three copper coffins rose into the air, surrounded by eerie blood-colored light.
The essence blood of numerous Cloud Heaven Valley disciples, previously killed, was now flowing towards these three copper coffins, making them even more eerie and terrifying.
"Blood Sacrifice Technique?"
"A few ancient cultivators, almost on the verge of withering away, using such an evil art to prolong their lives?"
Zheng Shanhe's face changed slightly, "Destroy them!"
He took action, cutting off the flow and transmission of essence blood.
The three copper coffins shook violently and then exploded.
"Zheng Shanhe, die!"
Three ancient cultivators appeared from the twisted space, their combined attack almost killing Zheng Shanhe on the spot.
However, just as they were about to pursue, the space distorted again, and three similarly withered figures walked out of the void.
"Thank you, three venerable ancestors!"
"We send our farewells to the ancestors!"
Zheng Shanhe's expression changed, and he bowed to the three ancestors from afar.
"Hehe, no need for such formality."
A gentle force lifted them up, and a hoarse voice followed.
"We're already on our last legs, even if we seclude ourselves, it's just prolonging our lives."
"We haven't taken our last breath, and we're here to contribute our last bit of strength to the sect."
"Today, we can finally be liberated."
A smile appeared on their withered faces, and their auras locked onto the three ancient cultivators from Cloud Heaven Valley, "Today, we'll liberate ourselves together!"
