A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 327 - 287: Going Home!

Lu Qian and others were originally leading the Shahe Gang disciples. Now it’s chaotic here, and fewer and fewer Zhongming County cultivators are following them, while more and more enemies are surrounding them.

Master Fengfeng shouted, "Disciples of the Shahe Gang, listen! Han Wen’s rebellion has nothing to do with you; do not follow the traitor! Stand firm and kill the enemy. After this battle, I promise you will become disciples of the Xuanguang Sect!"

Unfortunately, his call was ultimately a bit late. Some Shahe Gang disciples, surrounded by the enemy or due to the hostility of the Zhongming County cultivators around them, have already turned their guns around. In mutual attacks, the situation has become completely chaotic.

Sanshan County took the opportunity to attack, continuously applying pressure on the chaotic flank to try to achieve a breakthrough here.

Master Fengfeng, while mobilizing support, also wanted to find an opportunity to use the Blood Sea Devouring Spirit Array. But the same tactic, how could Master Yeguang not guard against it? Originally, Master Fengfeng could only exert seventy percent of his power. With Master Yeguang attacking fiercely, he couldn’t spare a hand for the moment.

At this time, both sides kept pouring resources into the Shahe Gang’s battle array, and the four from the Yunshan Sect were almost about to be submerged in the sea of people.

The spiritual powers of Yang Jiye and Duu Yeming had already been significantly consumed after 700 miles of travel, and now, after the fierce battle, they had been exhausted by more than half.

Lu Qian’s situation was slightly better because he had been burning Spirit Crystals in his arms for power supply, not using much of his own spiritual power. But the consumption was astonishing. Since the start of the battle, he had used up all twenty Spirit Crystals.

Now, Lingsha City is under attack, what should be done?

Lu Qian, out of reflex, took a step. Beside him, Duu Yeming hesitated, "Sect Leader Lu, even if we break through to rescue now, it would be too late..."

Of course, Lu Qian knew it was too late.

The distance from here to Lingsha City was an hour’s journey away.

With two small armies clashing, after an hour, victory or defeat would have been long decided, and everything would be over.

Furthermore, the one leading the surprise attack was Han Wen. He must be very confident to choose such a battle plan.

Moreover, even if he set out immediately, in a hurry, flying couldn’t rely on Spirit Crystals, and after another 700 miles, his spiritual power would likely be all but exhausted.

What good would it do to arrive in such a state?

Most crucially, now is a fierce battle where both sides are evenly matched! The three of us in the Foundation Establishment are carrying heavy responsibilities, and if we disobey orders, leave our positions without permission, and retreat on our own, that would be an act of rebellion!

It would undoubtedly result in Master Fengfeng’s condemnation, leaving no room for retreat!

Better not go? After all, it’s too late for rescue.

Better not go? Wang Yu, with a meticulous mind and calm temperament, also understands the principle of preserving the people even if losing the land. If defense proves impossible, he would certainly choose to retreat, at worst sacrificing some disciples, but the main force should remain intact.

Better not go? It’s been hard to finally gain Master Fengfeng’s forgiveness, can’t let this effort go to waste now.

...

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Qian’s mind. He made up his mind.

Suddenly, he turned!

The black and white Spirit Flower trembled, and the Five Elements Dao Pattern shone brightly in white, green, black, red, and yellow!

The Gui Water Divine Thunder buzzed loudly, black lightning raged like a tide, shattering the surrounding enemy forces into pieces.

"Let’s go, we’re going home!"

Jiang Qingfeng, Master Xuan Ji, Guh Niqiang, Tan Hong, Wang Yu, Zheng Duan...

The faces of many people flashed through Lu Qian’s mind.

To hell with reason! To hell with calm! To hell with the bigger picture!

I just want to find my family!

In any situation, maintaining reasoning is what’s required of a Sect Leader.

But without them, what’s the point of being a Sect Leader?

The four enemy cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage entangled with him again. Lu Qian neither dodged nor avoided, surrounded by the Weak Water Erosion Flow, he charged forward fiercely, shouting.

"Get out of my way!"

Such a forward rush is naturally full of flaws. A Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator grabbed the opportunity, initiated a Dao Pattern, and the Flying Sword in his hand shone brightly, becoming incomparably sharp, even more penetrating than the Geng Metal Divine Sword.

One sword thrust forward, pierced through the Weak Water Erosion Flow, and stabbed through Lu Qian’s chest!

But as a smile of delight appeared on his face, the impaled Lu Qian suddenly shattered, turning into a wisp of cloud vapor.

Incarnation!

In an instant, the Weak Water Erosion Flow transformed into several long whips, firmly binding the unsuspecting Foundation Establishment cultivator. The light of his Defensive Spiritual Artifact rapidly dimmed under the amazing erosion of Weak Water.

His three companions rushed to aid, two were blocked by Yang Jiye and Duu Yeming, and there was one more. Above Lu Qian’s head, a golden Treasure Mirror depicting a three-eyed Golden Lion emerged, its light dazzling, a golden beam swept across, instantly holding the man in mid-air!

This was the Golden Lion Treasure Mirror obtained from Yuchi Hui, nourished in the Spirit Vein for a night, its Spiritual Light restored.

The Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted fiercely, unable to break free from the Weak Water Erosion Flow, he directly slashed his sharp Flying Sword towards Lu Qian, seeking to exchange injury for injury.

A clanging sound was heard, and the Xin Metal Divine Lock rolled out, transforming into a heavy giant net to block the Flying Sword. Under the Five Elements Dao Pattern, although eleven chains were severed by one sword stroke, it ultimately stopped it.

With a crack, the Weak Water corroded a small hole in the enemy Foundation Establishment’s Defensive Light Shield. Just at this moment, a vine sprouted from the Weak Water surrounding him; its leaves five-petaled, deep purple like a wisp of smoke, penetrated through the hole in a flash, deeply embedding into his body, instantly draining what little spiritual power remained in him.

This was the Five Elements Dao Pattern, Water Generates Wood, the Purple Smoke Vine that grew in the Weak Water Erosion Flow!

Before he could react, a Flounder Sword swiftly flashed past, and his head flew high!

At the same time, the Flounder Sword Tide roared, forcing Yang Jiye’s opponent back several feet, allowing Yang Jiye to free his hands.

The Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, fixed by the Golden Light used all their strength, just broke free, when Yang Jiye’s Cold Star Sword and Black Gold Hammer instantly teleported, bypassing his Defensive Spiritual Artifact, directly piercing into his body, a hammer striking his Celestial Spirit!

The Foundation Establishment cultivator spewed blood from his mouth and nose, falling from the clouds, and crashed into pieces.

With two Foundation Establishment cultivators dead, the other two were horrified, not daring to confront directly, retreating several steps. For a moment, a gap appeared in front of Lu Qian and the other three.

Master Yeguang’s face turned ashen. He naturally recognized the Golden Lion Treasure Mirror used by Lu Qian, which was clearly the top-grade spiritual artifact he had bestowed on Yuchi Hui!

"You little bastard, you’re courting death!"

Master Fengfeng laughed heartily, tightly entangled Master Yeguang, preventing him from attacking Lu Qian.

"Lu Qian, well done!"

But before the sound of "well" still echoed in the air, Lu Qian and the three others surged forward, breaking through the gap and flying away without looking back, heading in the direction of Lingsha City!

At this moment, Master Fengfeng’s eyes widened abruptly, and Lu Qian shouted, "Zhenren, we three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yunshan Sect have come here, killing two enemy Foundation Establishment cultivators, severely injuring one. We are now returning to defend Lingsha City. A three for three, it is enough!"

"You brat, how dare you!" Boundless rage consumed Master Fengfeng, his eyes instantly bloodshot, "Defying military orders, fleeing before battle, it is rebellion! Do you really want to die!"

But neither Lu Qian nor his companions looked back, fleeing into the distance, and only Lu Qian’s roar was heard echoing in the sky.

"Scram! I’m done serving you bastards!"
