“What?”
The sight before them sent shockwaves through Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea.
Who could be lurking in the shadows, launching such stealth attacks on their people?
For a moment, the faces of all present from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and Eternal Sword Sect turned exceedingly grim, with a hint of indescribable fear in some eyes.
“Let’s go!”
Finally, without any hesitation, Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea gave the command, then swiftly retreated into the distance.
Observing this, Xie Xiangyao, Elder Yuan Feng, Elder Chi Yan, and others did not rush to pursue.
Their mission was not to slay enemies but to defend and set up the array.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan, hidden in the shadows, took advantage of the chaos to eliminate a few more cultivators.
Only after the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and Eternal Sword Sect had completely withdrawn did he cease his attacks and used a strand of merit qi to conceal his presence again.
“Damn it!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!”
Back at their camp, Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea were angry.
They had not anticipated such a setback upon their arrival, a failure that would surely be mocked by many within their sect if word got out.
“Senior brother, have you noticed that the greatest impact on us was caused by that person hidden in the shadows?”
At that moment, Divine Lord Furious Sea looked at Feng Tianyun and said.
Feng Tianyun nodded, his eyes flashing with deep thought.
“Indeed, without that person, our side would not have collapsed so quickly.
But what’s most crucial is what exactly happened with Martial Uncle Wanyang?
Why did such a mistake occur?
We must clarify this matter. Otherwise, if a similar incident happens again, neither you nor I can guarantee that we won’t suffer the same fate as Bei Shan.” “Right, I’ll send a message to the sect and inquire about the specifics,” agreed Divine Lord Furious Sea.
He then took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message to their sect master.
Soon, they received a reply from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
Both Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea hurriedly checked the message, their expressions changing upon reading it.
“So, it was for that reason. Someone had disrupted the heavenly secrets, causing Martial Uncle Wanyang to misjudge his target and, moreover, redirected his original attack onto someone else.
But who could have done this?”
At that moment, be it Feng Tianyun or Divine Lord Furious Sea, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.
This was because they had thought of a problem. If not for Fiery Sword Emperor and Bei Shan, could one of them have been attacked by their Martial Uncle Wanyang?
If that was the case, they would truly have died an unjust death.
Moreover, what shocked them the most was that the person who could cause all of this to happen was probably stronger than their Martial Uncle Wanyang.
In other words, the Haoran Sect’s Dao Integration Saint had also made amove in the previous battle.
“Why did this happen? Weren’t we agreed that Dao Integration Saint wouldn’t directly engage in this conflict?”
Little did they know that everything that had happened earlier was only because of merit.
However, be it Feng Tianyun, Divine Lord Furious Sea, or Saint Wanyang from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, none of them knew.
This was because merit had the ability to block the heavenly secrets.
Unless Saint Wanyang came personally, it was impossible to unravel the mystery.
As Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea speculated about these events, Fiery Sword Emperor had already informed the Eternal Sword Sect of what transpired, including the demise of Bei Shan.
Within the grand halls of the Eternal Sword Sect, figures as imposing as mountains convened, pondering over the recent developments.
“How do you view this matter?” one asked.
A slightly hoarse voice said, “This matter shouldn’t have been done on purpose by Fellow Daoist Wanyang. Something unexpected must have happened. Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t be reasonable.”
“I agree with Senior Brother Cang Jian. However, this matter concerns the death of our sect’s members. I still need to ask the Five Elements Heavenly Sect about the details.”
“I second that!”
“I second that!”
“I second that!”
A few days later.
Jiang Chengxuan received a message from his Shifu, instructing him to discreetly eliminate the cultivators from the Eternal Sword Sect and Five Elements Heavenly Sect located in several key areas.
This task was critical for their strategic advantage in the ongoing conflict, and Jiang Chengxuan accepted without hesitation.
Especially when he looked at those areas, he sincerely felt that his Shifu’s arrangement was indeed very wise.
Successfully targeting these areas would significantly impact the enemy’s capabilities on the frontline.
However, Qin Shenwu also cautioned him. While the first strike might proceed smoothly, subsequent actions could lead to traps specifically designed to capture him.
At that time, he had to be very careful.
If it really didn’t work out, he could just retreat.
In short, his own safety was the most important.
Jiang Chengxuan took his Shifu’s instructions to heart.
At that time, he did not waste too much time and immediately followed the map given by his Shifu to a place called Dihen Valley.
It was a vital location for the Eternal Sword Sect and a central hub in their longdistance battle array.
By sabotaging this site, he could create a significant disruption in their logistical and strategic capabilities, potentially lowering their overall mobility on the battlefield.
At this moment, In Dihen Valley.
Many cultivators of the Eternal Sword Sect were reinforcing an array.
One of the Celestial Radiance stage cultivators said, “Everyone, this is an important strategic place for our sect. Therefore, we have to do our best to strengthen the defense here.”
Buzz!
However, just as he finished speaking, the array they were reinforcing suddenly began to shake violently.
Streaks of runes began to appear and disappear, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
“Oh no!”
The expression of the leading Celestial Radiance stage cultivator changed drastically.
However, before he and the others could do anything, a loud bang resounded in their ears.
Immediately after, an extremely terrifying might descended on their place.
Everyone could sense that at that moment, their reactions and the circulation speed of the Dharmic powers in their bodies began to slow down.
This immediately shocked them.
This… this is a domain!
Whoosh—
At this moment, a diagram suddenly unfolded in front of them.
In an instant, green, red, yellow, white, and blue light instantly swept past their bodies.
When everything dispersed, there was no one left standing.
After Jiang Chengxuan left Dihen Valley, he went to the second key area of the Eternal Sword Sect.
This time, his operation went smoothly.
However, just as he was about to head to the third area of the Eternal Sword
Sect, an extremely strong warning suddenly came from somewhere.
That feeling told him that this trip would be very dangerous.
If he insisted on going, his life would probably be at risk.
After all, he was still in the Celestial Radiance stage, not the Seethrough stage.
If the other party only had one Seethrough stage cultivator, he could still escape unscathed.
However, if the other party had two or even three of them, it would be another story.
“Could it be that the Eternal Sword Sect sent out three Seethrough cultivators to deal with me?
If that’s the case, won’t their other places be relatively weaker?”
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately informed his Shifu of his guess through a message.
After a while.
Qin Shenwu sent him a message saying that he had completed this mission perfectly.
There was no need for him to do anything else. He just needed to wait for the results.
The rest of the work would naturally be done by others.
Regarding this, Jiang Chengxuan did not insist.
Instead, he returned to the frontline battlefield and waited for news.
Indeed.
About ten days later.
Numerous pieces of news came.
It was said that several important mines of the Eternal Sword Sect had been severely attacked.
During this period, there were several battles at the level of Seethrough stage.
As a result, the Eternal Sword Sect’s mines suffered considerable losses.
This also indirectly affected the situation at the frontline.
Due to the defeat at the rear, the morale of the people here had declined to a certain extent.
Despite the Five Elements Heavenly Sect cultivators’ attempts at bolstering spirits, it didn’t work.
On the contrary, the fallen cultivators of the Eternal Sword Sect only compounded their grievances towards their allies.
A few months later.
The Eternal Sword Sect was the first to announce their withdrawal.
Their departure dealt a substantial blow to the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, now left to confront the Haoran Sect’s attacks alone.
Most importantly, their Five Elements Heavenly Sect was extremely far away from here.
Without the help of the Eternal Sword Sect, they would have to spend a lot of time traveling.
By the time their reinforcements could arrive, the tide of battle might have already turned.
Crucially, shortly after the Eternal Sword Sect’s withdrawal, Xie Xiangyao and other Seethrough stage cultivators finalized the grand array.
This setup meant that unless a Dao Integration Saint personally intervened, breaching the array, guarded by Seethrough stage powerhouses, was nearly an impossibility.
