Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 728 – Gu Clan

The five counties of Lin County were named after the five great sects of Lin County. This method was similar to the Xi’an County s before.

However, after the first appearance of the Alien Cultivator and the annihilation of the Five Origin Sects, Lin Prefecture only had four counties remaining. Zhen Wu County, Tao Liu County, and Zi Yang County lined up from the south to the north, becoming the frontlines of the Alien Cultivator. As for Liuhuo County, it was located at the east side of Lin County, which happened to be hidden behind the three counties.

As the frontmost point of the border between Zhen Wu County and Alien Cultivator, Wu Yang Town walace where both sides fought back and forth between each other over and over again. In order to protect the inner regions of Zhen Wu County from threats, each of the three most western towns in Zhen Wu County had a Spiritual Master cultivator stationed there. It was because these three towns were at the opposite corners of each other, coupled with the fact that the three Spiritual Masters stationed there were always there to support each other and also the fact that the Liu Sect and the Purple Sun Sect were under threat at the same time. In the end, they were able to resist the external forces outside Zhen Wu County.

Of course, in the midst of the repeated fights between the three sects and the foreign forces, the fire valley s who were also from the Lin County sects were not exactly a bystander. Every time a sect fell under the wind while fighting against the Alien Cultivator, they would also send their disciples to help the sect.

This way, it would avoid the consumption of time between the two sides. Secondly, it would become the key to breaking through the barrier, and thirdly, to obtain the biggest victory, which would allow the disciples under the sect to have the best training when there were least casualties.

Although the three sects were furious, if they were to angrily reject fire valley’s assistance, they would not be willing to help either of them, and even had to curry favor with him because the other three sects were the ones under constant threat from Alien Cultivator. If they truly angered fire valley, then even if they were only late by an hour, they might just be able to pigeon a cultivator’s life and death.

For the past few years, because the three sects had always been at the forefront of the battle with Alien Cultivator, their disciples fought more and more, but the number of fights became fewer and stronger, and the number of fights increased as time went on. From the moment the Alien Cultivator descended to this point, the three sects had gained two to three new cultivators, but the influence of the fire valley s had almost doubled, and the Sect Leader Adept Qiyang had already become one of the strongest cultivators in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou.

The Genuine Martial School Cultivator standing guard at the front of the town was a cultivator from the Gangli Accumulation Realm. He had killed a True Demon on the first visit of the Alien Cultivator and had gotten stained with the blood of a True Devil on the second visit of the foreign forces. He was considered quite famous at the front lines of the town.

In the past few decades that he had been guarding Wu Yang Town, he had fought against the foreign forces dozens of times, and with the protection array he had set up, as well as the Dao-soldiers formation under his command, the foreign forces had never taken advantage of him, but had instead suffered heavy losses. This had caused the front lines of Wu Yang Town to have very few conflicts with the foreign forces in the past two years, and it was rare for the disciples of the sects to have time to rest.

On this day, Daoist Master Bluebird, as per usual, went out on a patrol and saw a Successor Disciple from afar heading towards the gatehouse.

“Greetings, Martial Uncle!”

The Bluebird nodded. “It’s Zheng Yang. Why are you here? Is there anything you want to report?”

Zheng Yang hurriedly bowed and said, “Reporting to Martial Uncle, it is time to change the crystal on the second plate of the formation. I am in charge of this matter.”

Spiritual Master Greenbird nodded her head, in order to protect Wu Yang Town, although Genuine Martial School had used a spirit vein to support the operation of the protective array, during times of emergency, using a spirit vein to support the operation of the array was not enough, so she set up a crystal array disc to assist.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents from happening, there were three crystal array discs. Under the normal support of a spirit vein, just opening one would allow one to assist, while the other two could be used as an alternative at any time. At the same time, even if the spirit vein suddenly encountered an accident and the array formation was unable to operate, the three crystal array discs could also replace a spirit vein to support the operation of the array.

Just as Zheng Yang was about to head to the guardhouse, Daoist Master Bluebird suddenly thought of something and asked, “Eh, Zheng Yang, aren’t you the vice leader of the Dao-Soldier Formation? Isn’t Cui Jinquan in charge of the exchange of crystal array discs?”

Zheng Yang laughed and replied, “Reporting to Martial Uncle, Senior Brother Cui went to Heaven-Shaking Peak with Sect Leader Ling Zhen, and although he was severely injured, he is extremely spirited, as if he had gained some big insights in the area of formations. Who knows, in the future, our Genuine Martial School might have another Formation Master, haha, Senior Brother Cui is recuperating from his injuries while studying formations, so this matter of exchanging crystals will be handled by disciple.”

However, he still said, “No matter what, you are still the vice leader of the Dao-Soldier Formation. If you don’t want to do it now, then forget about it this time. Next time, tell Cui Jinquan that as long as he is not disabled and unable to walk, he will personally do the matter of the formation chamber.”

Zheng Yang hurriedly added in carefully, “Yes, disciple understands!”

The Bluebird nodded and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the prison.

The respectful expression suddenly turned into ridicule, but soon after, a struggling expression appeared on his face, but in the end, it was replaced by a ferocious look. However, he quickly looked around, and after discovering that none of the surrounding cultivators noticed his strange behavior, he lowered his head and quickly entered the guard post.

Ever since Chen Ji had been killed by a Illusory Clan disciple who had disguised himself as a disciple of the Illusory Clan, as well as the Intoxicated Seal Sect and Qi Xi Sect who had their sect protection formation broken down by the Ghost Cultivators and the Charm Clan cultivators, the Yuzhou’s cultivation world had figured out all kinds of methods to guard against the three strange and secretive races. Hanging on the protective formation wareasure that could see through the treasure trove, could break through illusions, and under the operation of the array, it was a relatively popular method of using its power to the greatest extent.

As Daoist Master Bluebird thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy. However, this Treasure Mirror was truly useful. At the very least, he wouldn’t need to consider the fact that an alien force was sneaking in.

This kind of patrol was carried out once every three days, or once every five days. There was no pattern in between, but in general, it required at least one patrol every ten days, which was entirely dependent on the mood of the Spirit Master Cyan Sparrow. As for the Spirit Master Cyan Sparrow, he was not afraid of being struck by a pattern, this was the Martial Sun Town, which was the Genuine Martial School’s own territory.

This time, Daoist Master Bluebird only patrolled half of the Martial Sun Town before stopping in front of a white cloud. He sneered, “Black Cloud, are you coming out by yourself or do you want this old man to beat you out?”

“Tsk tsk tsk.” A strange laughter accompanied the wind. Not far away, a black cloud that was hidden in the clouds suddenly rose up and gradually took the shape of a human. A hoarse voice was transmitted over, “Old Cyan Sparrow fellow with ears, how could you be able to discover it?”

“There’s still one more. Your Old Devil Black Cloud is a defeated opponent of this old man. This old man does not believe that he alone would dare to barge into Wuyang Town!”

The demonic cloud behind Old Devil Black Cloud immediately surged and bellowed, “Old trash Cyan Sparrow, you dare look down on the Old Demon?”

Cough cough *, it was obvious that the person who had come did not plan on giving Old Devil Black Cloud any face, and an ordinary-looking green-gowned cultivator came out from the demonic cloud behind Old Devil Black Cloud. He smiled faintly: “In my area, I am here to help old friend Hei Yun break through this Wu Yang Town!”

The two of you have such big words. If you want to break this old man’s Martial Sun Town, you have to first ask me about the True Martial Ring! ”

The mouth of the cultivator in the surrounding area twitched as an evil smile appeared on his face. He said, “Truth be told, this Martial Sun Town of yours has already been destroyed!”

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise from the east. A ray of realms of life’s Qi was released and a huge mushroom like dust flew up into the sky. That was the direction of where the guard was located.

“Ghost Clan!” Impossible, how did he break through the protective array? ”

Adept Bluebird’s face changed dramatically.

That person in the vicinity suddenly shouted: “If we don’t act now, then when?”

The Old Devil Black Cloud roared and the billowing demonic clouds behind him immediately surged towards the Bluebird Daoist Master like waves.

The True Martial Ring was flung out by Daoist Master Bluebird. With a “weng weng weng” sound, it began to rapidly spin. No matter how thick the devil clouds were, they were unable to break through the barrier of the True Martial Ring.

Just as he was about to escape, he was met with a sudden attack from the side. As he punched out, it was as if there were several huge oxen galloping towards him. He believed that if he did not fight back, his internal organs would be pulverized to smithereens.

With a muffled boom, Daoist Master Bluebird was sent flying backwards in midair by this fist. However, the area around him didn’t seem to be all that great. The true essence within his body began to fluctuate after being struck by Daoist Master Bluebird’s Divine Guardian Technique.

When the Old Devil Black Cloud saw the opportunity to circle around the Zhen Wu Ring and pounce towards the Cyan Bird Founder, he hurriedly rushed forward. Under the joint attack of the two of them, he was actually unable to escape from the Cyan Bird Founder’s encirclement.

The protective array formation of the gatehouse was broken, so it could not be guarded in the entire Wu Yang Town, but the protective array was meticulously laid out by the Genuine Martial School, and inside, it was protected by the elite cultivators of the sect, it could even be blocked by the surprise attack of the Adept Realm Cultivator, not to mention there was a group of Dao soldiers with realms of lifs their enemy, how could it be broken so easily, unless …

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind. “Zheng Yang, it’s that evil creature Zheng Yang. He actually dared to betray the sect!”

That ‘haha’ sound of laughter resounded from within the arena. His face was filled with insanity as he said: “After receiving my Rank four Heart Devouring Gu, even if he had to kill his father and mother, he would still have to obediently do it!”

“Shameless!”

The Bluebird Daoist Master’s eyes were bloodshot. “Who the hell are you?”

“Haha, just a small area, a Rank four Gu Clan cultivator, greetings!”
