A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 428: Chapter 386: Call for Help

As soon as he moved, the severe poison in him, with the suppression of spiritual power reduced, spread rapidly. Within these few breaths, Zhuo Wuying already felt dizzy, his body heavy.

At this moment, the intense pain from his broken right arm, instead, kept him clear-headed. He used spiritual power to seal several acupoints and meridians, striving to slow the spread of poison.

Zhuo Wuying knew the only way to survive was to take out the Thousand-Mile Mirror from his bosom and call for help from the Wang Family. But in this situation, was there still a chance?

Now, three Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars were surrounding him. One had a body covered in dark purple, with a pair of pitch-black short swords hovering around; another was tall, holding a long halberd upside down. Both had pitch-black eyes, devoid of any whites, making their gaze chilling to the heart.

Another person had just retracted his pair of hammers and swords. Seizing this opportunity, Zhuo Wuying finally saw his face clearly—

"Yang Jiye! A remnant of Yun Mountain!" Zhuo Wuying was both shocked and angry, his body cold. Of course, he recognized Yang Jiye, once a Yunshan disciple, and later the Yunshan Sect Leader, who led the remnants of the Yunshan Sect, repeatedly ambushing the scattered cultivators of the Wang Family and Ziluo Mountain.

So that’s it, so that’s it!

These past few years, the remnant Yunshan Sect had vanished in Quyang County. He thought they had escaped outside the county, not expecting them to have regained power and plotted these attacks somehow.

"Our Yun Mountain has risen again. And you Ziluo Mountain, after today, will only have Ziluo Mountain remnants." Wang Yu said coldly.

Zhuo Wuying gritted his teeth, still wanting to curse, when Yang Jiye suddenly roared: "Shut up! Shameless scum! Traitors! What face do you have to live between heaven and earth!"

"The two-hundred-year alliance treaty was torn apart overnight, colluding inside and outside, destroying our mountain gate! This enmity is irreconcilable, and today I will settle it all with interest!"

The past events surfaced in his mind, the screams of his brothers seemed to echo in his ears. Yang Jiye’s eyes were bloodshot, his twin swords and hammers flashed with spiritual light, about to strike.

"Senior Brother Yang." Wang Yu suddenly said, "We still have questions to ask."

Yang Jiye remembered Lu Qian’s instructions, taking a heavy breath, barely restraining his impulse.

Wang Yu continued staring at Zhuo Wuying: "I want to know the real reason you abandoned the alliance. Speak quickly, and I’ll give you a swift end."

Zhuo Wuying looked fixedly at the few, suddenly smiling: "You’ve burned my Ziluo Mountain, emptied my sect’s treasury, and surely entered my study, so you must have found some clues. Indeed, the reason I betrayed the alliance is—"

As he uttered this "is," while Wang Yu and Yang Jiye were entirely focused, suddenly Zhuo Wuying’s spiritual power surged, spiritual pressure soared, and a burst of purple light exploded around him!

Dao Pattern: Hundred Stars!

A burst of purple light turned into a hundred light bands, each band connected at the end to a point of starlight.

The starlight quickly transformed into the shape of weapons: knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, lances, hammers, hooks, rings, spikes, claws, nails, darts...

The next moment, these hundred star weapon streaks split into three groups, like a violent storm, with an astonishing momentum, attacking Wang Yu, Yang Jiye, and Sun Hong!

This was a Dao Pattern Zhuo Wuying comprehended from the path of controlling artifacts. Each starlight transformed into a weapon, its mighty power comparable to a Qi Cultivation Stage magical artifact.

This Dao Pattern was enormously consuming, but when fully activated, the Hundred Stars Chaotic Dance was equivalent to seventy or eighty Qi Cultivators striking together; Foundation Establishment level cultivators found it tough to face this head-on.

Now, even divided into three, it still possessed substantial power, launching a sudden assault. In this instant, Wang Yu and the others could only try to resist, being engulfed in the clanging, continuously exploding starlight.

This was Zhuo Wuying’s all-out strike after giving up suppressing the poison. As soon as he executed this move, he spat out a stream of black blood. He barely held his body, already having taken out the Thousand-Mile Mirror, wiping it vigorously to connect with the Wang Family’s communications!

Over there, Wang Family Patriarch Wang Talai was in the main hall, chatting with a few sect leaders who came for birthday celebrations. Suddenly his bosom vibrated, leaving him to apologize and hastily take out the mirror. There, a clear beam flashed, revealing Zhuo Wuying’s face shrouded in black mist.

As soon as he saw Wang Talai, Zhuo Wuying shouted:

"Patriarch Wang, I’m at—"

Zhuo Wuying’s voice was suddenly drowned out by shrill howls and roars!

His figure was also obscured by the heavy, luminous cloud mist!

It was Qian Ji who had already dealt with ten disciples, under Wang Yu’s control, turning and striking with a Dao Pattern: Mirage Qi, hitting Zhuo Wuying directly.

Eagle screeches and tiger roars, wolf howls and bear growls, various illusions emitted piercing noises, covering Zhuo Wuying’s voice. The thick cloud mist shimmered with colorful light, reaching out a hand, unable to see five fingers, erasing Zhuo Wuying’s figure.

Zhuo Wuying’s cry for help was instantly interrupted!

"Sect Leader Zhuo! Sect Leader Zhuo!" Wang Talai’s face changed dramatically, shouting loudly, but in the mirror, there was only immense noise and rolling cloud mist, with nothing audible or visible.

Zhuo Wuying screamed loudly. Wherever the Mirage Qi covered, the spiritual power around him, already thin, instantly disintegrated, skin ulcerated, flesh corroded.

He was still struggling desperately, trying to bring the Thousand-Mile Mirror close to his cheek. At that moment, a bright halberd blade flashed by, smashing the Thousand-Mile Mirror with a crack.

It was Wang Yu who had already withstood a round of attacks!

Under the Hundred Stars Chaotic Dance, the three of them had some injuries. Lacking defensive methods, Sun Hong had a flying sword pierce his leg, and a flying ring cut his chest. But he was a Corpse Puppet; as long as he wasn’t losing limbs or hit at vital points, Wang Yu’s control wasn’t affected. These injuries could be quickly repaired after the battle.

At the moment, he controlled Qian Ji, driving away and sweeping clear the Mirage Qi, while Sun Hong charged directly, locking down the severely poisoned and critically wounded Zhuo Wuying.

"The Wang Family will soon search here; we must go!"

Wang Yu called out, and with a flash, the few figures disappeared towards the vast mountains.

A moment later, indeed, Yang Jiye’s Thousand-Mile Mirror in his bosom trembled, and Bai Ling’s communication came through.

"Upper Envoy, the Wang Family has mobilized." Bai Ling’s voice was soft, seemingly hiding in a corner, "A large number of Wang Family disciples are searching in the direction of Ziluo Mountain. Be careful."

Wang Yu took the Thousand-Mile Mirror: "Besides the Wang Family, who else joined the search?"

Bai Ling looked frightened: "Also disciples of the Qingling Sect. Originally, a True Disciple of Qingling Sect led a team to celebrate, and upon hearing Sect Leader Zhuo was attacked, they joined in too. The other guests haven’t moved yet."

Wang Yu cursed silently, instructed Bai Ling to be careful, and cut off communications.

He didn’t expect that even with three combatants encircling, Zhuo Wuying still managed to send out a distress signal. He could serve as a Sect Leader, leading Ziluo Mountain to establish itself in Quyang County, indeed having some means.

Qingling Sect was a Golden Core Major Sect. If the sect leader of one of its affiliated sects was attacked, they wouldn’t ignore it; these disciples would certainly report this news to the sect.

Soon, Qingling Sect would unleash experts, even mobilizing the entire Quyang County’s strength. Thus, staying in Quyang County would become dangerous.
