Chapter 255 – Hidden Worries
How did he obtain the Huyao County?
It was not only Yang Junshan that had doubts, but the other cultivators that followed along too. Weren’t they always fighting with the Sirius Gate’s cultivators, why did they suddenly co here, could it be that they wanted to fight with the Opening Spirit School as well?
But honestly speaking, it was still a good opportunity to sneak attack Opening Spirit School. No one would have thought that the Heaven-Shaken Sect, who was fighting to the death with him, would turn around and kill him.
The only thing they had to worry about was that this ti, they would face the combined might of the Ling Zhang County and Huyao County, but thinking about how the ngyu County had previously used his own strength to fight against the two counties alliance, they did not have to worry about him anymore, furthermore, was caught and continued to be beaten up by the ngyu County border guards at the border. The Huyao County would not leave them alone, joining hands with the Ling Zhang County was only a matter of ti.
However, was there enough manpower for the three teams in front of him?
Yang Junshan’s doubts were quickly dispelled. After turning around a col, an intense fluctuation of spirit energy accompanied by a distant rumbling noise ca towards him.
“He’s making his move!”
Just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, they heard the voice of Squad Five’s leader, Chestnut Ben, witint of excitent on his face.
Seeing everyone’s doubtful gaze, Liu Zhifei coughed, directing everyone’s attention towards him, and said in a deep voice, “I believe they all know, that five kiloters from here, Opening Spirit School is stationed at a stronghold at the border of the Huyao County, and there are at least two border patrol teams of the Opening Spirit School stationed there. At this ti, there are already second, sixth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and fifteenth squads working together to encircle and exterminate this stronghold, and this stronghold must be completely eradicated …”
If it was really successful, to the cultivators of Huyao County, it would be like a bolt out of the blue. Yang Junshan even suspected that if it was really successful, maybe even the Opening Spirit School who was in charge of the Huyao County would not be able to sit still.
There were two border patrol teams stationed near the border of the three counties. However, just like how Heaven-Shaken Sect had set up camp in the ngyu County, there was a guard array set up in every stronghold. The two guard teams could rely on the protection arrays of the strongholds to fend off attacks that were two tis stronger than their opponents.
Since the Heaven-Shaken Sect Frontier Cultivators had gathered six small squads to attack, there was no problem to break through the foothold. The only thing to worry about was how long the stronghold would take, and how fast the reinforcents would be.
If the six small border guards could not break through the Great Guardian Formation of the stronghold in a short period of ti, then the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for the small border guards of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
“If the six squads attack a foothold together, doesn’t that an that there will be loopholes in the border guards’ defenses?”
“Are you confused? A stronghold like this has two squads that are about to be completely wiped out. If they don’t provide reinforcents, are they thinking of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao? Which ‘Wei’ do they want to surround in order to achieve ‘Zhao’?”
“We don’t have much to do with the six squads attacking the foothold. What’s the point of our three squads joining in on the fun? But it’s so sort of collaboration, support, containnt or sothing, right?”
“It’s said that a few people on the rits list have already exchanged for low grade magical equipnt from the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Our three teams haven’t gotten any rits during this period of ti, right?”
“I think he’s studying with the crown prince again. All the credit belongs to his six teams!”
… ….
Liu Zhifei saw that everyone was whispering to each other, he did not say another word, but he heard everyone’s discussions, and his face beca extrely ugly.
However, he still waited until everyone quietened down, and when he saw that everyone’s gaze was once again focused on him, he forced a smile and said, “Our three teams’ mission is to block the Opening Spirit School or the Sirius Gate’s border guard squad that has co to our rescue …”
“What did I say? It really is them eating at for us to eat, right?”
If that foothold is under siege, the Opening Spirit School’s border guard team will still co to our rescue. Furthermore, when we rush to the Sirius Gate’s border guard team, which is at the verge of death, when that happens, the reinforcents from both sides will be many tis stronger than us! ‘
“Ha, this ti, let’s not talk about reaping military rits, otherwise, it would be the fortune of the heavens!”
“All of you shut up!”
In the blink of an eye, it was under his control once again. However, that oppression which ca from his mind previously, did not cause the close to thirty Martial Realm Cultivator present to not dare to say a word for a while.
Although Liu Zhifei’s aura was fleeting, the two of them could clearly feel that his cultivation had already reached the critical point of the fourth stage and that he could condense profound energy to advance to the fifth stage at any ti.
“Is your personal rit more important, or is it more important to completely remove a foothold? Once the mission starts, I don’t want to hear any more complaints. Since everyone knows that we might face a difficult situation, then we should all be more clear about the need to work together, otherwise, if we really beco the cause of soone else’s war effort, then it would be asking for it! ”
He had originally wanted to join the six squads that were going to surround and attack the stronghold. If it was like before, as the most popular candidate for this year’s Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, his chances of winning would be 90% to 90%, and the battle to remove the stronghold would also beco his experience.
However, the ambush of, who had infiltrated the borders of the ngyu County not long ago, had caused his status in the sect to plumt greatly. More than half of the eight mbers of the squad died in an instant, and only he and Luo Bingkun managed to escape in the end.
Although he brought back evidence of Fei Xiu’s infiltration into the territory of the Sky Wolf Country to rob the rchant caravan, it was at most equivalent in terms of rit. However, in terms of fighting over the qualifications to beco a Successor Disciple, other than such a big mistake, Liu Zhifei had caused him, who was originally highly regarded, to lose many points.
What’s more, he did not know which of his fellow disciples had landed a blow on his back. Even though he did not have the qualifications to fight for the main stronghold, he was sent here to block the reinforcents of the Sky Wolf Sect and Spirit Opening Sect.
This was simply a difficult task. If they succeeded this ti, the biggest credit would definitely not be theirs. However, if they failed, it was most likely that their attempt to block the boss would fail.
However, when the order was given, Liu Zhifei could not delay any further. At that ti, facing so many reinforcents that might appear, let alone salvage the place, he would be lucky if he did not die here.
After hearing the crowd’s cold words, Liu Zhifei, who was already filled with anger, imdiately erupted out all of the anger in his heart. Unexpectedly, this had instead intimidated all of the cultivators in the three squads, and in the next mont, his efficiency increased by a lot.
Although Martial Realm Cultivator is able to control his Qi and fly in the air when he reaches the fourth stage, if he is able to escape without fear, then he will at least need the fifth stage to condense his Qi. This kind of cultivator is extrely limited in the border guards teams of Ling Zhang and Hu Yao counties, and they also cannot separate from their respective teams to rescue them.
Liu Zhifei raised his eyes and looked at the few people beside him, and said loudly: “So those who ca to rescue us, be it Ling Zhang County or Huyao County, all of them must be coming from Lu Xing. Then, the dangerous pass that our three small teams are currently occupying, is the only passage through which they must pass!”
The seventh squad, Ji Chenglin, worriedly said, “Even though the terrain here is dangerous, the battle between cultivators is not a close combat. There aren’t many advantages that we can take advantage of!”
Squad Five’s leader, Zhang Ben, suddenly thought of sothing and said: “Senior brother Liu, didn’t your squad have an array master? Didn’t you die in Sirius Gate Fei Xiu’s siege last ti?”
If soone else were to ask this, Liu Zhifei would most likely fall out, but now was not the ti to talk about face. Although Liu Zhifei’s face was filled with unhappiness, his mouth was unhappily as he replied: “Thanks to you, that brat went back ho once, and was lucky enough to not die, he is now in third team!”
Ji Chenglin’s eyes lit up when he heard that and said, “That’s great. If there’s a formation master who can set up a defensive formation, then this battle would be a bit easier. But in such a short period of ti, would that kid be able to set up a spirit rank array?”
“Call him over to ask!” “What’s going on?”
However, because of the lack of ti, he was unable to set up a defensive array before the six squads that were surrounding the foothold in order not to leak any information. Therefore, Yang Junshan himself did not have the confidence to set up a defensive array formation in a short amount of ti, and so, he did not have the confidence to hold all thirty of the Martial Realm Cultivator s within it. If he were to set up a formation, it would be enough ti for the array to expand, but the power of the formation would be an appalling sight.
He called Yang Junshan over, causing Chestnut Heart to ask him a question. Yang Junshan muttered to himself for a bit, then said: “Since we don’t have enough ti, then why not delay it for a bit, since the reinforcents that have co from Ling Zhang County or the border guards from Huyao County won’t be able to co in groups all at once. We can take this opportunity to do so research, and maybe even take this opportunity to get so achievents back.”
