Chapter 2356
"All disciples listen to my orders!"
Tu Hong shouted, "There must be sword cultivator disciples outside the array. If we want to escape, there will be a fierce battle. Only by killing all the sword cultivators outside the array can we be considered to have escaped!"
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" All the disciples responded and prepared their magic tools and treasures!
When the dozens of bubbles from Tu Hong's group came into contact with the restriction of the grand array, which was the edge of the tyrannical formation that Xiao Hua had encountered previously, a small passageway immediately appeared at the edge of the bubbles. Tu Hong and the others flew out one after another!
On the ground of Goldspring Mountain, the dozens of sword cultivators and the bird cultivators in the air were also panicking. After all, the activation of the array an hour ago had caused a huge change in the world's spiritual energy, and there were strong fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the bottom of Goldspring Mountain.
However, in this hour, there were only fluctuations of spiritual energy. Moreover, the surrounding world's spiritual energy was sucked in like a hurricane, and there was no other movement. Thus, they were at a loss and could only wait quietly.
Seeing thousands of Golden Spring Mountain disciples coming out from the ground, they first rushed down and prepared for battle. However, when Tu Hong and the rest flew up into the air and there were no sword cultivators or beast cultivators chasing after them, they felt that something was amiss!
Thus, without thinking, they turned around and fled!
Lan Xin sent out enough people to chase after them, and she accompanied Tu Hong. Beside her, there were dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators quietly standing in the air, looking down at the messy Goldspring Mountain.
"Look, this is the place where we Goldspring Mountain disciples live and die!
On the ground are the corpses and blood of your brothers. It's not that this old man doesn't want you to snatch their corpses, but it's just that the time hasn't come yet. If it weren't for us sacrificing too much, these sword cultivators and bird cultivators wouldn't have been fooled!
In order to kill them all, this old man endured the pain in my heart!
This old man's heart is silently bleeding like all of you! "
"However, at this time, you have all seen that this old man's plan has finally succeeded. Although I have lost thousands of Goldspring Mountain disciples' lives, and thousands of Dao Sect disciples' lives, in the end, thousands of sword cultivators and bird cultivators were killed!
Among them, there were even 61, no, 75 Illusory Sword Swordsmen!
These are swordsmen that are comparable to late Golden Core cultivators, and even close to Nascent Soul cultivators!
Their sacrifice was worth it, and their sacrifice had a price!!! "
"Yes, your subordinates understand!" The disciples of Jin Shan Quan replied mournfully.
"We … are here to send off … our brothers who died here and the Dao Sect disciples who came to reinforce us!" As he spoke, Tu Hong took the lead and bowed!
The numerous disciples and Lan Xin all had tears in their eyes as they bowed in respect.
"Even if we leave today, we are still disciples of Golden Spring Mountain. We will definitely return in the future!" Tu Hong waved his hand, "This Golden Spring Mountain will forever belong to my Golden Spring Mountain!!!"
"Yes, we will follow the orders of the general!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Tu Hong flew to mid-air and scanned the battlefield with his divine sense. He raised his eyebrows and instructed: "Disciples, search the battlefield carefully. If you see any intact corpses, regardless of whether they are disciples of Jin Quan Mountain or Dao Sect, bury them properly.
Hmm, if there are any disciples who haven't fallen yet … try your best to save them! "
"Yes!"
As they spoke, the dozens of disciples flew off in different directions, releasing their divine senses and searching inch by inch!
After the time it took to eat a meal, the hundreds of disciples that had chased after the swordsmen and bird cultivators had all returned. Like this, there were even more disciples searching for corpses and survivors.
Another half an hour passed before a disciple came to report to him.
"Reporting to the general, the corpses … those that are intact, or those that we were able to piece together, there are a total of 978 corpses.
We were able to identify 756 corpses of Jin Quan Mountain disciples, 46 corpses of Dao Sect disciples, and 686 corpses that we were unable to identify!
As for those that have not fallen yet, there are a total of 97 people!
There are 86 disciples of Jin Quan Mountain and 66 disciples of Dao Sect! "
"Oh?"
Tu Hong's eyebrows relaxed and he excitedly said, "That's great. Take care of these surviving disciples and bring them back to Sky Patrol City.
They are all meritorious service in this battle! "
"Yes, this disciple understands!" The disciple left.
Tu Hong's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Lan Xin and said, "This old man never thought that there would be 66 Dao Sect disciples that survived!
This is truly this old man's good fortune! "
Lan Xin shook her head, "General, this old man is not good at war, but when it comes to guessing people's hearts, this old man is much better than you. In this old man's opinion …"
"No!"
Tu Hong waved his hand and smiled, "These surviving disciples are all meritorious service in this battle. Since they are still alive, that is the will of the heavens. This old man cannot kill them!
Moreover, truth and falsehood, falsehood and falsehood. If no one attacked this old man in the Discussion Hall, then those old fogies in the Discussion Hall might think of ways to deal with this old man!
Also, if this old man killed these disciples, it was inevitable that news would leak out. At that time, wouldn't this old man be asking for trouble? "
"Yes, the general's thoughts are meticulous. This old man cannot compare!" Lan Xin thought for a moment and understood.
Then she pointed to the ground and whispered, "This old man used his divine sense to sweep the area. This … this great array formation's heaven and earth spiritual energy is like a tide. My divine sense cannot penetrate it. I wonder how far the general can see?"
"Hehe, as far as you can see, this old man can see!"
Tu Hong's eyes shined with pride. "Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator or swordsman were to come, they still wouldn't be able to see as far as you and I can see!"
"Hiss ~ ~" Lan Xin sucked in a breath of cold air. She asked, "Then this great array formation … how do we deal with it?"
"Deal with it?" Tu Hong glanced at Lan Xin, "If you were to deal with it, what would you do?"
Lan Xin thought for a moment and then shook her head, "This old man has no method. If I were to forcefully use a magic tool to break through the edges of the great array formation, then the heaven and earth spiritual energy within the great array formation would violently explode outwards. This old man would not be able to protect himself!"
"Hehe ~" Tu Hong said with a sound transmission, "I won't hide it from Old Brother Lan, but I don't dare to casually deal with this array formation!
Mm, even the Lord City Lord … may not dare to touch it! "
Lan Xin didn't seem surprised as she heard this. She nodded and said, "How many top grade spirit stone pillars, how many jade quintessences, all of it has turned into pure heaven and earth spiritual energy that has gathered in this several miles of space? Who would dare to touch it?
The slightest bit of carelessness could lead to death!
Moreover, the edges of this great array formation are abnormally stable. Even if a sword cultivator or a bird cultivator were to try and break through it, they wouldn't be able to do anything without the strength of a Nascent Soul.
This place … I'm afraid that before the heaven and earth spiritual energy slowly dissipates, no one will touch it! "
"That's right. Even if one covets the magic tools and magic tools inside, they still have to be famous!" Tu Hong sighed.
"Ah, that's right!"
Lan Xin suddenly realized. "The storage bags and magic tools of tens of thousands of cultivators and sword cultivators … who wouldn't covet them?"
"Haha, I'm afraid that the storage bags won't be preserved!
Those low level magic tools won't be able to do anything either! "Tu Hong laughed," Perhaps only high level magic tools and magic tools will be preserved! "
"Mm, we still have to hurry and report this to the Lord City Lord. This is also a great merit!" Lan Xin nodded vigorously.
However, Lan Xin hesitated again. She asked, "Do we have to stay here … on guard?"
"Guard my ass!"
Tu Hong sneered, "My Golden Spring Mountain's matters have already been completed. The rest will naturally be taken care of by the other disciples. Besides, there are still disciples of the Dao Sect in Sky Patrol City!
It's impossible for them to let us continue to guard these treasures! "
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
Lan Xin looked up at the Golden Spring Mountain disciples who had already packed up. She waved her hand and said, "Disciples, let us return to Sky Patrol City!"
"Yes!" The Golden Spring Mountain disciples replied in unison. Everyone flew up into the air and flew towards Sky Patrol City.
Inside the formation that Tu Hong had described as a lifeless place, right below the formation, where the waves of spirit howls had swept across, twelve dazzling flying swords had formed into seven balls of light. These seven balls of light were emitting a murderous sword intent, and a powerful force was strangely intertwined with each other, firmly confining a space of several hundred feet around them!
The spirit howl swept through this space of several dozen feet, but it didn't dare to fly. It was blocked by the sword intent and force, so it easily penetrated!
And the imprisoning force didn't weaken in the slightest because of the spirit howl's attack!
Needless to say, this was the Seven Star Great Array laid down by the 67 Illusory Sword Swordsmen of the High Wind Sword Sect!
However, the spirit howl from several hours ago had been too violent. Even the Illusory Sword Swordsmen were unable to resist it. They had no choice but to listen to Ling Yunwu's advice and temporarily use their secret technique to become one with the sword, entering the Sword Transformation Realm in order to escape the spirit howl's destruction!
However, the spirit howl seemed to be endless. After they entered the Sword Transformation Realm, they couldn't escape from it. So, in order to have a chance of survival in the future, they had no choice but to fuse their primordial spirits with the flying swords and use their bodies to feed the swords, becoming sword spirits!
Of course, they hated Xiao Hua to the bone. Even when they died, they still kept the Seven Star Great Array intact. They wanted to firmly imprison Xiao Hua in this great array formation and allow the spirit howl to kill him!
However, even when their consciousness was completely controlled by the flying swords and turned into flying swords, they still didn't see Xiao Hua's meridians burst open or his mortal body burst apart!
This was something that they couldn't understand even when they died!
Yes, they didn't know that when Xiao Hua was attacked by the spirit howl for the second time, his meridians were already unable to withstand such a huge amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. He was completely disheartened and almost gave up!
However, at this critical moment, Xiao Hua's gaze fell on the Phoenix Celestial Body that had just been released from its shackles!
His thoughts turned rapidly, and he thought of the cultivation method of the Phoenix Celestial Body that he had obtained in the Inkcloud Black Forest!
Immediately, Xiao Hua let the Phoenix Celestial Body descend and protect his body!
Fortunately, the Phoenix Celestial Body actually formed a barrier to resist the spirit howl, slightly blocking the wave-like Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that rushed into Xiao Hua's body decreased slightly!
However, this still wasn't enough. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that rushed in still exceeded the limit that Xiao Hua's meridians could withstand. Xiao Hua had no choice but to harden his heart. While desperately urging the Dragon Transformation Art and the Celestial Body Enhancement Technique, he endured the pain of splitting a trace of his primordial spirit and sending it into the Phoenix Celestial Body. According to the cultivation method of the Phoenix Celestial Body that he had previously comprehended, he began to cultivate the Celestial Body.
