Chapter 131: The Black Wind Stockade Arrives, The Great Battle Approaches
Inside the cultivation chamber, Elder Ye Luo had just finished saturating his newly opened Fire Gate with True Qi. He was eager to test his new capabilities.
Right at that moment, Sun Yi’s identity token, along with the tokens of the Elders, emitted a low-frequency hum.
“Not good! Someone is attacking our mountain-protecting Formation!” Elder Jin Jue’s expression changed drastically.
“Move! To the perimeter!”
In the next moment, the group rushed out of the chamber, appearing in the sky above the Qingyun Sect at astonishing speed.
Looking toward the eastern border, a sight met their eyes. A massive golden Talisman had been slapped directly onto the Sect’s protective array. From the Talisman, glowing golden patterns spread, aggressively eroding the light shield that protected their home.
“A Rank 4 Formation-Breaking Talisman!” Elder Qin Chu’s face turned ashen.
Sun Yi immediately pulled out his Spirit Plate, activating it. The display lit up with over 500 white hostile markers, along with one massive signature indicating a flying boat.
“It’s either the Evil Spirit Valley or the Black Wind Stockade,” Sun Yi said, his voice cold. “Over 500 hostiles detected. Elder Qin Chu, open the treasure vault immediately. Withdraw every single Talisman. No reserves.”
“At once!” Elder Qin Chu transformed into a streak of light, rocketing toward the treasury.
Sun Yi circulated his True Qi to amplify his voice, broadcasting his command to the entire Sect. “All Sect members and disciples, heed my command! Prepare for immediate combat! All Qi Refining disciples, fall back to the rear mountain. All Foundation Establishment disciples, pair up—one high-level with one low-level.”
His voice boomed. “Listen to me! The Qingyun Sect is under invasion! We have no way back! We must fight our way out!”
Driven by the broadcast, streaks of light shot into the sky from every corner of the Sect. Within seconds, over 4000 cultivators were mobilized, hovering in the air.
“Headmaster, we want to fight too!” A disciple at the Grand Perfection of Qi Refining shouted, his eyes burning with fierce determination.
“Yes! I want to fight!” another Grand Perfection disciple roared. “No matter who they are, anyone who dares invade the Qingyun Sect will pay in blood!”
Seeing the determination of his disciples, Sun Yi made a decision.
“All Qi Refining disciples, form ten-man squads immediately! Each squad will be assigned two Foundation Establishment disciples! Remember, do not fight alone!”
“Yes, Headmaster!”
The Qingyun Sect moved with precision. Ten familiar Qi Refining Grand Perfection disciples instantly clumped together. Simultaneously, the Foundation Establishment disciples paired off.
Elder Jin Jue swooped in, assigning the Foundation Establishment duos to the Qi Refining squads, forming twelve-man combat units.
“War Hall, front and center!” Sun Yi roared.
Instantly, the 300-plus members of the newly formed War Hall materialized before him, radiating a suffocating aura of killing intent.
Sun Yi scanned their ranks. Although most were still at the Qi Refining stage, every single one of them had successfully opened the Five Gates. They were the ultimate beneficiaries of the Sect’s resources. They were formidable.
“War Hall, form three-man squads! Do your utmost to support the main squads! Spread the Foundation Establishment War Hall members out as squad leaders!”
“Yes, Sir!”
In the blink of an eye, the War Hall broke into 100 three-man squads, infiltrating the main battle lines. Though their team sizes were small, Sun Yi knew their strength was considerable.
Sun Yi looked over his forces. “Today is an existential threat to our Sect. I expect your full effort from every one of you. No mercy. Eliminate the enemy by any means necessary.”
“All squads! High-level disciples, match your targets! You handle the Foundation Establishment hostiles. Leave the Golden Core enemies to us!”
In the time it took an incense stick to burn, the entire Qingyun Sect was organized, standing in a massive formation behind Sun Yi and the Elders.
Sun Yi stared at the violently shaking golden Talisman, his face grim.
Plans can never keep up with changes, he thought. He had planned to wait for Patriarch Qingxuan to return and lead an offensive strike. He never expected the enemy would launch a preemptive raid.
The Rank 4 Talisman continued its aggressive erosion. The grand light shield covering the Sect was thinning, fracturing under the strain.
A streak of light arrived. Elder Qin Chu reappeared.
“Distribute the Talismans!” Elder Qin Chu roared. “Hold nothing back! The moment the barrier drops, unleash everything!”
Using his True Qi, Elder Qin Chu telekinetically distributed the contents of his Storage Ring, dropping stacks of Talismans into the hands of every squad.
The disciples eagerly armed themselves. Although most were Rank 1 and Rank 2 Talismans—which only acted as distractions against Foundation Establishment enemies—in large-scale battle, the cumulative effect would be significant.
Sun Yi turned to the Elders. “Elder Jin Jue, Elder Ye Luo. I don’t know the exact number of their Golden Core elites, but you two are our main defense. You must hold the frontline.”
Elder Jin Jue locked his eyes on the eroding barrier. A golden spirit sword materialized above his head, vibrating with a terrifying, homicidal aura. “No matter who it is, to destroy my Qingyun Sect, they must step over my corpse!”
“Do not hoard the high-grade Talismans we bought from the Seven Star Tower,” Sun Yi ordered, his voice tight. “Maximize your impact. Wipe them out fast… and pray their Nascent Soul Patriarch didn’t come today.”
Sun Yi inhaled sharply. With Patriarch Qingxuan away, the Sect was completely exposed. If a Nascent Soul monster appeared on the battlefield, it would be a total catastrophe.
KRA-KOOM!
High above, the golden Talisman flared with blinding light. A deafening crack echoed across the mountains, and the Sect’s protective shield shattered into a million fragments of light.
Through the breach, a massive flying boat eclipsed the sun. The emblem of the Black Wind Stockade was emblazoned on its hull.
The next moment, Wen Sha led the charge, leaping from the deck. Seven Golden Core powerhouses and over 500 Foundation Establishment elites descended from the sky, their combined auras crashing down like a tsunami.
