Chapter 347: Joining the Battle
Central Province, outside the Jiang family’s gate
The troops of the Spiritual Moon Sect have arrived, and Xu Mingyue has made up her mind. She is putting on a tough front, but secretly offering rewards to gain the support of the main faction and other allies. By using this strategy of offering both a stick and a sweet date, she temporarily unites the Spiritual Moon Sect to send troops to rescue the Jiang family.
The elite forces of the Spiritual Moon Sect are the first to arrive, and they are also calling upon their vassals and seeking help from their friends to join the battle. The forces are still gathering.
The Holy Heavenly Sect is not attacking immediately either. They are surrounding the Jiang family’s gate, but only a small number of troops are present. The majority of their forces are eliminating the Jiang family’s peripheral territories. At this time, as the Spiritual Moon Sect engages in battle, the Holy Heavenly Sect is also mobilizing their troops.
Both sides have a strong intention to win the decisive battle because this is Central Province, where many other powers exist. If they fight for too long and suffer great losses, they may not gain control over the enemy’s territory. There is a high probability that a third party will take advantage. It would be better to engage in a direct battle instead.
"Father, it seems that the Spiritual Moon Sect has the upper hand."
Small Shadiao said to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang didn’t directly join the Spiritual Moon Sect to fight against the Holy Heavenly Sect. However, he has already discussed with Xu Yunyue that he will try to assassinate Yang Luo. So he still wears the emblem of the Spiritual Moon Sect, to avoid being accidentally injured.
Now that the Spiritual Moon Sect is in battle, Lin Jiang has also come along. He stands on the side of the battlefield, watching the camps of both sides.
"You’re right, but I still think the Holy Heavenly Sect will win. It’s my intuition."
Lin Jiang nodded and said. Looking at the number of people, the lineup, and even the number of experts, the Spiritual Moon Sect has the advantage. But when Lin Jiang thinks of a monster like Yang Luo, he realizes that this problem can’t be viewed with common sense.
"Since you think the Holy Heavenly Sect will win, why are you still encouraging the Spiritual Moon Sect to fight, and why take this risk?"
"I’m not the one leading the battle for the Spiritual Moon Sect. It’s none of my business. As for coming here, it’s because I’m scared. I’m scared of Yang Luo. If this person becomes even more powerful, I won’t stand a chance. I’d rather take the opportunity while she’s not that strong and kill her."
"You should be careful too. We haven’t fought in years."
Small Shadiao said. They haven’t fought in hundreds of years. They might not be familiar with Nascent Soul’s way of fighting, especially in a battlefield like this.
"Fighting is not just about using fists."
"I know, it’s about using your brain, right? Watch how clever I am with my little brain."
"Rubbish, fighting is about money. Without money, what can you do as a mortal? How can you fight?"
Lin Jiang patted his storage bag around his waist. It contained exactly five hundred fourth-level spiritual talismans that he had drawn himself over the past few years. He hadn’t sold a single one.
Some of them were mid-level fourth-order spiritual talismans, which he had recently drawn. Over the years, Lin Jiang had been exchanging ideas with many great masters and prodigies in the field of talismans. His skills had improved at an unprecedented rate.
This is what they call "playing with excellent people makes you more excellent, playing with underachievers will only make you an underachiever."
"Dad, you’re so cunning."
"It’s not cunning, it’s being smart. You could have solved the battle with spiritual talismans, but instead, you insisted on using your fists. That’s just being silly. Do you understand?"
"You have a point. Let’s fight. You go, I’ll watch."
Small Shadiao was completely speechless. He had never seen anyone so timid, especially since it was his own dad. Since that’s how it was, he would just watch and let his dad spend his money.
·······
"They’re fighting!"
After three whole days, the war finally began. The first to attack was the Spiritual Moon Sect, but their main focus was on the Jiang family. They were breaking the spatial blockade left by the Holy Heavenly Sect in order to unleash the power of the Jiang family.
"Xu Mingyue, come out and fight. Let’s settle our past grievances today."
Upon seeing this, Yang Xi immediately ordered an attack to stop the actions of the Spiritual Moon Sect, and he personally invited Xu Mingyue to a battle.
"Alright, Yang Xi. Either you die today or I live."
Xu Mingyue nodded and gave a few commands before flying up into the sky.
Tao Achieving didn’t dare to fight in the midst of the crowd, otherwise the shockwaves from their battle would kill everyone.
"You stinky ladies from the Spiritual Moon Sect, your grandpa Yang Xiong is here. Who dares to fight?"
Tao Achieving left, and Void Achieving also entered the scene. They too didn’t dare to fight in the midst of the crowd. Yang Xiong purposely provoked the others, and both sides left the area to fight elsewhere.
Soul Changing was the same, once they activated their Soul Changing Dharma Appearance, the impact was too great, so they left one by one.
"Attack"
In the Holy Heavenly Sect, Yang Luo, as a commander, began to give orders to fight, and tens of thousands of Holy Heavenly Sect disciples started to attack.
Before the disciples of the Holy Heavenly Sect could charge forward, the God Slaying Crossbows on their side opened fire, and dozens of God Slaying Crossbows began to shoot arrows. The Spiritual Moon Sect also fought back.
"Coordinate infantry and artillery"
Lin Jiang looked at the Holy Heavenly Sect’s tactics and exclaimed. With the bombardment of the God Slaying Crossbows, the cultivators followed the crossbow arrows and launched an attack. Isn’t this the coordinated infantry and artillery?
On the other hand, the Spiritual Moon Sect appeared much more chaotic. Although they also had God Slaying Crossbows, they didn’t use them as effectively as the Holy Heavenly Sect and couldn’t achieve coordinated tactics.
The two sides were entangled in a chaotic battle. It was difficult to determine a winner for now, but countless individuals from the cultivation world fell in the blink of an eye.
"Yang Luo, in this battle, we must kill Yang Luo. Martial Uncle, there is only one Soul Changing protector left by Yang Luo’s side. When the Jiang family forces break through, you and the Jiang family must kill Yang Luo together. It is essential to eliminate them."
On the side of the Spiritual Moon Sect, as the current Saintess in command, she saw that Yang Luo was leading the Holy Heavenly Sect and immediately targeted him as the primary objective.
"Princess, if I leave, there will be no one by your side. The Jiang family has several Soul Changing cultivators, enough to kill her."
"No, we can’t rely on the Jiang family’s Soul Changing cultivators. Plus, Yang Luo is very dangerous. We must give it our all."
The Spiritual Moon Sect’s princess said. There is only one chance. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill Yang Luo.
"But I’m afraid something might happen to you. The Sect Master specifically instructed that you must stay safe."
The Spiritual Moon Sect’s Soul Changing cultivator felt a little hesitant. The Sect’s princess was extremely noble and couldn’t afford to have anything happen to her.
"I’ll be fine here. Don’t worry. I won’t leave. I’m within the protection range of the formation."
The Spiritual Moon Sect’s princess shook her head. They had set up a large camp before, and their location was still within the camp’s protection range. There was no need to worry about her safety.
In the midst of their conversation, the Jiang family had already broken through the spatial restrictions, and Jiang family members emerged, ready to attack.
"Jiang family descendants, follow me to fight the enemy."
The leader of the Jiang family’s magic practitioners looked at the battlefield and quickly led their children to join. At this time, the high-level magic practitioners on the battlefield, the Spiritual Moon Sect, were already at a disadvantage.
"Honorable Martial Uncle, control the Jiang family’s Soul Changing and kill Yang Luo."
The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Moon Sect quickly spoke to the Soul Changing by her side whom she was protecting.
The Soul Changing nodded and stopped talking. They quickly rushed out and made contact with the Soul Changing from the Jiang family. They quickly reached an agreement, and the two Soul Changing, along with hundreds of elite members of the Jiang family, headed towards the banner of the Holy Heavenly Sect.
"Protect Yang Luo."
Yang Xiong saw the actions of the Spiritual Moon Sect from high in the sky and immediately shouted loudly.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them, the Holy Heavenly Sect had already noticed. Yang Luo commanded the disciples of the Holy Heavenly Sect to counterattack the Jiang family, but the result was not very good, after all, they were against three Soul Changing.
"Yang Luo, it’s almost time."
"Alright, let’s do it."
Yang Luo nodded, then she waved her hand and dozens of cultivators appeared behind her. These cultivators, who originally had the strength of Building foundation and golden core, immediately gained immense power and transformed into Nascent Soul and Soul Changing cultivators.
"Three Soul Changing, nine Nascent Soul."
The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Moon Sect saw this and was suddenly shocked. Yang Luo had recruited many people from Tianxian City, and they were aware of it. However, the three Soul Changing cultivators and nine Nascent Soul cultivators were unknown to them, even the spy from the Spiritual Moon Sect in the Holy Heavenly Sect didn’t know about them.
The sudden appearance of this group of people immediately caused a drastic change in the battle situation. The forces under the Spiritual Moon Sect were terrified, and some became fearful when facing just two or three enemies.
"Attack, attack!"
The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Moon Sect hurriedly gave the order for the final batch of their forces to attack. This batch consisted of a mix of disciples from the Spiritual Moon Sect, cultivators recruited by the sect, and also individuals who were part of alliances with the Spiritual Moon Sect.
"It seems like the Spiritual Moon Sect is out of cards."
Yang Luo looked at this group of people entering the battlefield and smiled, saying.
"Yang Luo, besides me, you don’t have any cards left."
"No, there’s more."
"Does Yang Luo have hidden power?"
"Yes."
"Why didn’t I know?"
"Because this power is within me."
Yang Luo pointed to herself and said. I am a genius, you know. The world only knows about my talents in Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation, but they forget about my cultivation and combat talents, don’t they?
"Yang Luo, don’t be impulsive. We already have the upper hand. In just two hours, Spiritual Moon Sect will be defeated."
"Let’s finish the battle quickly. You follow me and charge. Right now, Spiritual Moon Sect’s Soul Changing technique cannot be distracted. You go kill the Spiritual Moon Sect Saintess, and I will deal with the other Nascent Soul cultivators."
Yang Luo said. Using Soul Changing against Nascent Soul cultivators is like a downgrade. Even if there are many people with the Spiritual Moon Sect Saintess, they can only provide minimal protection.
"But…"
"No buts, listen to me and take action."
Yang Luo didn’t care anymore, she handed over the command to a Holy Heavenly Sect Nascent Soul and took the lead in killing her way out.
Soul Changing, who was protecting her, could only charge forward despite knowing that he should protect Yang Luo. Instead, he went to kill the Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Moon Sect. He knew that only by killing the Holy Maiden and breaking the enemy’s command center could they quickly end the battle.
Upon entering the battle level of the Nascent Soul stage, Yang Luo immediately displayed a terrifying fighting power. When a mid-stage Nascent Soul attacked her, she casually made a sword strike and the Nascent Soul exploded.
"Surround and kill her!"
The Spiritual Moon Sect’s Soul Changing cultivator, who was fighting in the sky, immediately roared and commanded the Nascent Souls of the Spiritual Moon Sect to surround and kill Yang Luo.
Four or five Nascent Soul cultivators attacked, but Yang Luo wasn’t afraid. Although she wasn’t as fast as before, she still managed to repel the enemies within a few moves, including a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak stage.
The four Zhou Yuan Infant cultivators were all shocked. Yang Luo’s strength was too strong. Her moves seemed simple, but they carried immense pressure.
"A group of useless people."
Yang Luo saw everyone’s terrified expression towards her and felt very disdainful. Many cultivators tried their best to break through to Nascent Soul, but it was just like this. Not only did they lose the ability to make further progress, but they also didn’t have much combat power.
Yang Luo was prepared to unleash a killing spree today, to let the world know that she, Yang Luo, not only had unbeatable talent but also unbeatable combat power. But just as Yang Luo was about to chase after one of them, her face suddenly changed slightly, and a shield appeared beside her.
"Boom!"
The top-tier treasure-level shield shattered, a figure flashed, and then disappeared.
"Li Changsheng."
Yang Luo exclaimed, even though she didn’t see anyone, this aura was too familiar.
