Chapter 849: Attack!
Why did Kou Chongxue plot against the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World to get them to the Azure Flame World in the first place?
Even though Kou Chongxue and the 4 Elysiums didnt give everyone a proper explanation, many people could somewhat guess Kou Chongxues true intentions.
The Azure Ascension World failed when it was a step away from successfully becoming a Spirit World.
Under the threat of the Spirit Abundance World that was bearing down on them, the Azure Ascension World would be hard-pressed to produce another existence in the Sixth Order.
The only way to solve the problem was to increase the world origin they had, and force the world to ascend!
Only after becoming a Spirit World would they possess the ability to resist the invasion of the Spirit Abundance World. Only then would they be able to release the limitation on the ceiling of cultivation and allow everyone to take another step on the martial path.
Among them, those who assisted the Azure Ascension World from obtaining the most world origin would be greatly favored by the Worlds Will, and the main job they had after arriving on the Azure Flame World was clear. They had to assist their world with the world ascension!
That was the bigger picture Lu Wuzi was talking about!
That was also why everyone was willing to follow Kou Chongxue in his escapades.
After all, the moment they succeed, the Azure Ascension World wouldnt be the only one who benefits. Those who took part in the operation would also receive huge gains!
From the start, that was what Kou Chongxue had been banking on for everyone to listen to his commands!
Naturally, as the person who started it all, Kou Chongxue would definitely receive the largest share of the pie when they returned. Perhaps, he would be able to step through the gates of the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm directly!
In the eyes of many, that might be why Kou Chongxue started the whole motion. With his current strength, no one would be able to rival him the moment he stepped into the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm!
Lu Wuzi, Yifeng, Jiu Du, and Huang Jinghan could vaguely feel that when Kou Chongxue had the assistance of the Origin Holy Artifact, he possessed a might that only Sixth Order Ancestors could suppress, but they werent 100 percent sure of it.
The only thing they were sure of was the fact that as peak-tier existences of the Azure Ascension World themselves, they were no longer able to borrow the strength of their Elysiums to enter the Sixth Order. Helping Kou Chongxue with the ascension of the Azure Ascension World might be their only chance of advancing their cultivation path.
Since the 30 over experts of the Azure Ascension World decided to attack the Yanlin City which was the core of the Yanlin Clan, they wouldnt be stupid enough to charge over openly.
The conditions of the Southern Yanlin Continent were horrible to ordinary experts, but it was where many ferocious beasts and bugs chose as their territory. Several Martial Dipper Realm experts joined hands with the rank five Lightning Bird and easily created a Beast Tide by disturbing the peace within the mountain ranges. As more and more beasts rushed out, a beast tide like never seen before in the past 100s of years rushed at the city.
Seeing as their plan was complete and the Beast Tide had formed, the experts of the Azure Ascension World changed their direction and rushed towards the city from another angle.
The beast tide went up north and trampled everything in their path. Forests, fields, and even the commoners werent spared. Villages were razed to the ground and low-level cultivators couldnt do shit against it. Even smaller towns were destroyed easily. The mid-tier cultivators couldnt even run away in the face of such a terrifying Beast Tide. Even Martial Ancestors who were equal in strength to Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World couldnt resist the never-ending tide.
News of the terrifying beast tide quickly reached the higher-ups of the Yanlin Clan. Naturally, the person who received the news wasnt a fool. The upper echelons of the Yanlin Clan learned about the battle above the heavenly screen from the experts in their clan and also knew that the outsiders had entered the Southern Yanlin Continent.
When the news of the beast tide arrived, they understood that it had something to do with the outsiders.
With their foundations in the Southern Yanlin Continent, they knew that they had to help now that their clansmen were in trouble.
Hastily sending out 4 Martial Sages and slightly more than 10 Martial Ancestors, they headed south of the city in an attempt to stop the Beast Tide.
In order not to be picked off by the outsiders, the Martial Sages of the Yanlin City stuck together. Facing the massive Beast Tide, they couldnt do much with all of them gathered close together. They could only protect their clansmen as they retreated north.
They even made up their minds in the event they faced attacks from the outsiders to retreat to the city immediately. They wouldnt bother about anything else and give the outsiders an opportunity to take them down easily.
Sending their experts down south wasnt the only thing they did, the Yanlin Clan sent some people to the other continents to request help from the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent and Western Wenchen Continent.
The Yanlin Clan might have been in sole control of the Southern Yanlin Continent and even offended many other factions, they couldnt help but force themselves to lower their heads to ask for help.
That might be the case, but Kou Chongxues plan was complete.
After all, their true goal isn't to actually kill every last member of the Yanlin Clan. All they wanted was to occupy the Holy Land.
When Shang Xia finished his conversation with Chu Jia and the others earlier, he brought them over to meet up with Kou Chongxue.
Seeing the comatose Liu Qinglan, Kou Chongxue started to ask about her injuries.
Shang Xia gave a brief summary of what Chu Jia and the others told him, and Kou Chongxue fell silent for some time after hearing it. Place her in the Stellar Cauldron to recover for the time being. World origin is abundant there and it might help her injuries.
Shang Xia nodded. That was exactly why he brought her over.
What about the rest? Kou Chongxue asked.
Theyre doing alright. The Lightning Bird returned after causing the Beast Tide. I told it to follow Senior Sister Sun and the others. They shouldnt run into much danger. Shang Xia replied.
Nodding slightly, Kou Chongxue turned to Chu Jia and muttered, The task of every Martial Extermination Realm cultivator who came with us is to head out there to intercept the envoys the Yanlin Clan sent out. At the same time, coordinate with us to seal off the Yanlin City. However, youre a Formation Grandmaster and have great synergy with Little Xia. Now that the little kid went out there and told everyone he would be able to shatter their grand formation with so much confidence, you should back him up and prevent any accidents from happening. After all, we cant trust anyone else for this.
Chu Jia nodded in acknowledgment.
Alright, Ill be off then! Shang Xia addressed Kou Chongxue before turning to Chu Jia. I am confident I will be able to pass through their grand formation easily, but its not quite possible for me to shatter the entire thing at once. The best method will be to create a few regions of weakness. If you work from the outside, you need to locate the weaknesses I create and deal with the rest.
Chu Jia giggled softly in response. I got it, I got it. After all, I wont be the only Formation Grandmaster when that happens. Nothing will go wrong!
Shang Xia turned around and unleashed his Water Movement Art. He quickly rushed in the direction of the city according to the directions Kou Chongxue pointed out.
Looking in the direction where Shang Xia disappeared, a strange look appeared in Kou Chongxues eyes. He turned to ask Chu Jia who was beside him, Did the brat really not break the formation we laid down in order to enter my cultivation grounds?
Chu Jia seemed pretty close to Kou Chongxue as well and she understood his temper and personality really well. She sighed helplessly, Didnt you leave a clone in there? How would you not know what happened? You even hid it from all of us
Hahaha! Using a short laugh, Kou Chongxue tried to hide the awkward look on his face. I had no choice! After all, if I don't handle it well, the entire institution will be buried with me! The fewer people who know about this the better!
As one of the 3 strongest factions in the Azure Flame World, the Yanlin Clan took the entire Southern Yanlin Continent as their own backyard. They had their own Holy Land, and they actually had 7 Martial Sages who were known to the world!
During the battle above the heavenly screen, they lost 1 forever and 2 of them lost a clone each.
In other words, even though they sent out 4 Martial Sages to deal with the Beast Tide, the 2 Martial Sages in the city still had the ability to activate their grand formation. They could assist those who left earlier and wait for reinforcements from other factions.
Moreover, no one knew if there were other Martial Sages hiding in the Yanlin Holy Land.
When Shang Xia concealed his aura and arrived at the city, he noticed that they had already activated their grand formation in order to prevent any accidents from happening.
As he closed in, he noticed that their style of formations seemed different from that used in the Azure Ascension World.
Rather than creating a full protection barrier around the city, they fused it with the city walls. They also arranged a void prohibition formation in the air above the city walls to prevent anyone from flying over the walls.
In other words, if the experts of the Azure Ascension World wanted to occupy the Yanlin Holy Land, they would have to destroy the city gates or city walls before they could do anything!
Interesting. Shang Xia could clearly see the void behind the protection formation and he rubbed his chin with interest. However Its just a little more interesting than usual! Its nothing amazing!
With the dipper qi around him turning into the color of the ground, he seemed to fuse with his surroundings. He arrived beneath the city walls without being detected. He directly pressed his hand against the barrier that had formed.
Oh? Looks like I have to hurry up! Shang Xia frowned. The Five Element Dipper Qi on his palm started to transform rapidly and a ray of light soon flashed brightly. He disappeared from his spot and the entire wall seemed to emit light ripples before returning to normal.
Not too long after Shang Xia passed through the walls, a ray of light landed on the city walls and revealed an old man who was pretty short and tan.
His gaze flickered across where Shang Xia passed through, but he failed to notice anything. He could only leave empty-handed.
