Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 304: Chapter 71: Come!_1

Zhongyuan City.

Originally, it was a city of mortals, but ever since the Tianmen Cult and the Incense Fire Dao clashed, it has been overhauled by the Tianmen cultivators, replacing the entire wall with precious Mysterious Iron and forging it anew.

On the wall, there were many ‘Armor Talismans’ affixed. Every day, after resisting the bombardment of the Incense Fire Dao cultivators, the talisman makers would personally replace them.

Outside the city wall, there was even more protection in the form of large formations.

It could be said that it is as firm as a rock.

Outside Zhongyuan City, there was no lack of defense either.

In a short time, the cultivators of the Incense-burning Dao had built a small city from scratch. Its size was not large, but its defenses were hardly inferior.

Rarely do cultivators’ battles resort to such heavy and unyielding means.

Either they strike at the heart, desolating homes and exterminating sects;

or they obliterate the enemy from a thousand miles away, moving flexibly.

However, now both sides have flared up in anger, showing a fight-to-the-death attitude.

Especially when Master Pang of the Mountain Sea Sect was promoted to the Nascent Soul but was decapitated by the Sect Hierarch of the Tianmen Cult, it added fuel to the fire, directly leading to the four sects of Chen coming into the battle themselves.

The war situation escalated instantly.

However, both sides have been fighting for nearly half a year, and due to their similar strengths, apart from mutual damage, there has been no significant progress.

Unable to win the long battle, Ci Ren Pengcuo, the overall commander of the Incense Fire Dao and the four Great Sects of Chen from the Dari School, has subtly begun having second thoughts.

After all, if we continue like this, no one will be able to bear it.

The threat of the Tianmen Cult is indeed not negligible in the long run, but right now, not only has everyone’s cultivation time been delayed, but many resources have also been given priority to the cultivators in battle, and there are also many cultivators who have not participated in the battle but have made significant contributions, but have not received the corresponding resources.

Let alone other cultivators.

Most people are selfish, and it’s not a problem for everyone to join together to destroy the menace of the Tianmen Cult for safety reasons.

But the problem is that everyone belongs to different sects, and it is difficult to unify interests and voices.

If everything went smoothly, it would be fine. But now that we are stuck in a deadlock here, many people have raised other ideas.

Ci Ren Pengcuo keenly perceived this point, decided to go with the flow, and prepared to start organizing the withdrawal.

However, it was beyond expectation.

The overall commander of the Tianmen Cult, Lu Yuansheng, a real person of the Golden Core, was severely injured in a brief battle due to the late rescue from the Golden Core real person in the rear, and insufficient mana. An opportune moment was seized by a Golden Core real person of the Mountain Sea Sect!

The situation reversed from there.

Ci Ren Pengcuo knows when to be decisive, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in the position of master of a sect. He immediately ordered a counterattack to capitalize on the victory.

This battle killed three Golden Core real people of the Tianmen Cult, dozens of Foundation Establishment Competitors, countless Qi Refiners.

As for the four sects of Chen, not counting the people of the Incense Fire Dao, the losses were practically zero.

This could be said to be a rare victory since both sides fell out.

After all, the simultaneous loss of three Golden Core real people, even for the Tianmen Cult, can be considered a significant blow.

When Pang Xiao of the Mountain Sea Sect was killed earlier, the Tianmen Cult had already lost three Golden Core real people. Now it has lost three again, there are only fifteen Golden Cores that the Tianmen Cult can dispatch, counting the seriously wounded Lu Yuansheng.

“However… considering Lu Yuansheng’s injuries, even if he recovers, it would take at least half a year, possibly even longer. Meanwhile, on our side, even without those rats from the East Saint Sect and plus the four people from the Incense Fire Dao, we still have twenty-three!”

“Without Lu Yuansheng, someone who is comparable to an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul…”

“The advantage is ours!”

Ci Ren Pengcuo stood atop the city wall, looking far into the distance.

He felt a surge of emotion.

If this battle can successfully destroy the Tianmen Cult, the reputation of the Dari School in Chen will also rise to the highest point.

By then, he can start dealing with the people of the Incense Fire Dao, take over the old territories of the East Saint Sect, recruit a large number of disciples, collect resources from both places, and he might even be able to step into the Nascent Soul Realm because of this.

This is what he values the most.

However, he soon furrowed his brows:

“However…why hasn’t the Sect Hierarch of the Tianmen Cult shown up yet?”

“Could it be as everyone guessed, that he was seriously injured when he killed Master Pang of the Mountain Sea Sect?”

This is a consensus among everyone.

After all, if he wasn’t injured, with his strength as the only Nascent Soul Master in Chen, even if he stays inside Zhongyuan City and doesn’t do anything, he can still bring great deterrence to the people of the four sects of Chen.

However, ever since the start of the battle, they have never seen Ning Daohuan.

This is really odd.

However, even if Ning Daohuan were to come now, they wouldn’t be too afraid.

Together with the foundation of the four sects, they could still bring out the treasure to deal with the early-stage cultivators of the Nascent Soul.

If he doesn’t come, that’s fine, but once he makes a move, even if we can’t kill him, he won’t be having a good time.

Soon, a Golden Core real person came over from below to inquire.

Upon hearing this, Ci Ren Pengcuo nodded slightly:

“Since we are ready, let’s go ahead and act!”

“This battle, even if we cannot annihilate them, we must hurt and scare them!”

After all, they are cultivators, even if they fight, they don’t need to supply and prepare siege equipment like mortals do.

As long as they have enough mana, elixir, talismans, etc., they can go into battle lightly.

As they were speaking, several Golden Core cultivators already flew high into the sky, aimed at Zhongyuan City below, and jointly released a powerful Class III spell.

Above Zhongyuan City, stars suddenly lit up, and then quickly grew larger. In the blink of an eye, they formed rocks as big as houses, falling hard towards Zhongyuan City below!
