Lu Mei Niang said softly, "What the lord thinks is not without reason, but at such times, it’s not our place to think about these things. We should seek help when needed, as True Master Zhang will naturally make the decision."
Elder Yan couldn’t help but tap his forehead and said, "Indeed, I’ve been overthinking as your husband."
Lu Mei Niang grinned and said, "Actually, if the lord wishes to know the purpose of this group, I have a strategy."
Elder Yan raised his hand and said, "Please, enlighten me, madam."
Lu Mei Niang pinched the cuff with one hand and pointed upwards with a slender finger, saying, "The lord should take a Flying Book, write nothing on it, don’t disguise it, just send it out like this. If these people are targeting our Beichen, they will surely try to intercept it to prevent the message from leaking. If it’s merely to lure True Master Zhang here, then they will ignore it."
Elder Yan thought that this method sounded very simple, but if he himself was from the Demon Sect, he might hastily fall for it. He immediately took out a letter, identified the direction, and with a flick of his hand, sent it out towards the mountains.
As soon as the letter left the heavenly vault, a flash of inky light appeared, flickered a few times, and intercepted it.
Elder Yan saw this, his heart sank slightly, and he turned to Lu Mei Niang and said, "It is indeed targeting us."
Above the demon cloud in the heavenly vault, Li Xiu glanced at the person who intercepted the Flying Book and laughed, "Junior Brother Liu, you’ve fallen into the trap."
That Elder Liu had acted out of instinct and hadn’t thought much about it. As soon as he took the Flying Book, he realized that if the enemy really wanted to send a book for help, why would they deliberately send it here? It was clearly a test, and he was quite annoyed, repeatedly saying, "Careless, careless."
Li Xiu inwardly scoffed, even if the opposition knew their purpose, what of it? As long as they had an hour, it would be enough to wipe this place out.
He took out a Green Glaze Treasure Pot from his sleeve, sacrificed it to the heavens, and with a point of his hand, poured a mass of sticky blood plasma from the pot’s mouth. After falling below the cloud head, it transformed into numerous one-horned giant salamanders, twisting their bodies and rushing quickly towards the Mountain Protection Array.
This item was condensed from Yin Ming’s Blood Evil Qi, and whenever obstructed by flows of Dharma Treasure prohibition, it would corrupt the spiritual mechanism until it was worn away.
However, this treasure was exceedingly powerful and beyond the control of a single person. After persisting for a while, he felt fatigued and called to those around him for assistance, "Please lend me a hand."
The other five elders immediately started using their mana to help him drive the treasure pot.
In an instant, the Blood Evil Qi became several times more dense than before. It seemed as if the world was dyed in blood, turning completely red, as the fierce giant salamanders charged forward incessantly, howling wildly, repeatedly smashing against the prohibition, making a booming sound, and causing the entire mountain to tremble non-stop.
Under the erosion of Evil Qi, the spiritual mechanism of the great array was being worn away layer by layer, especially at the point of impact, where it gradually collapsed. Even though the sect disciples were desperately repairing the array energy, the assault was too fierce to patch up.
But a moment later, there was a loud boom, and Li Xiu felt the pressure ease in front. Concentrating his attention, he saw that a corner of the great array had dimmed and he could vaguely see the scene within the mountain, making it clear that the defense had been breached. His spirits lifted, and he said, "Everyone, quickly follow me into the mountain!"
As he spoke, he surged forward in a flash of blood light, and the five Demon Sect elders behind him, seeing this, did not hesitate and rushed into the array with him.
This time, it was called breaking the array, but in reality, it was not; it was merely temporarily boring a path, and soon the array gate would close.
But as long as they reached inside the gate, destroying the array pivot would be easy, and with their strength of six, it would be enough to slaughter Beichen from top to bottom.
As Li Xiu entered the inner area, he pressed down the tunneling light, looked up, and saw Elder Yan and Lu Mei Niang standing side by side a hundred feet away. He sneered coldly, flung his sleeve, and mocked, "Like a mantis trying to block a chariot, overestimating one’s abilities."
Once the five fellow disciples entered, he was about to step forward to act when his eyelid suddenly twitched. He swiftly turned his head towards a pond nearby, where the water rippled, and then a Jade Spring burst forth ten feet high. From it emerged two tall old men in brocade robes, each holding a Divine Weapon.
Elder Mian took a glance at the scene and with a hand salute to Elder Yan said, "Elder Yan, have we arrived too late?"
Elder Yan chuckled and replied, "Not late, you came just in time!"
After the Yu Yuan Tribe was subdued, sixteen clan elders were summoned southward by Zhang Yan, scattered throughout various rivers, lakes, and seas. This move was partly to weaken the Yu Yuan Tribe’s strength, and partly to provide reinforcement if any sect faced an attack from the Demon Sect.
Thus, when Beichen Sect was attacked, they quickly arrived.
Li Xiu initially thought the newcomers were Mingcang cultivators and displayed a wary expression, but upon seeing they were merely two demon cultivators, he scoffed dismissively.
Two mere Carp Demons were insignificant to him, and not only did they lack the numbers, but even individually, they stood no chance of victory. It would only take a bit more effort, so he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"
The six Blood Essence Sect elders simultaneously activated their spells, and banners rose behind them. In an instant, countless blood essences flew from within, whistling as they came, enveloping the entire Dan Yang Mountain in a sea of blood!
At the same time, five hundred miles away from Dan Yang Mountain, Feng Qingping stood in white on a Fire Crane with dazzling plumage, his eyes fixed on the direction of Zhao You Heavenly Pond. As soon as Zhang Yan appeared, he would immediately intercept.
Regarding the attack on Beichen Sect, he was confident of victory, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, Zhang Yan is not under the Cave Heaven True Master, having cultivated for less than three hundred years, with shallow roots and few followers at his disposal, barely managing the situation alone. If it were Huo Xuan or Du De, with the support of four families, it would not be so easy to handle."
Just as he was turning his thoughts, he suddenly saw a sword light tearing through the clouds, radiating brilliantly, heading directly towards his location.
"Here it comes!"
Feng Qingping’s spirit lifted as he shouted, driving the Fire Crane beneath him, turning into a rainbow-red light, and actively heading forward to intercept!
