Chapter 287: The Battle of the Sect
Jiang Cheng and Zhang Qi reached a tacit understanding, and soon spread the news that Jiang Cheng was standing in line and scattering people, which made there be a lot fewer visitors, but there were still people who continued.
After all, the same sect, the Sanren faction, the family faction, and the nobles are not enemies, but just competitors, and competitors often become allies.
It's like there will be marriages between families, and there are many people who marry the daughters of the family, there is no difference, this connection is inextricably linked, and it is not as simple as only friend and foe.
With the successive arrival of the people of the Tianlan Sect, the friction between the Tianlan Sect and the Tianxu Sect has also intensified, and the White Horse Mountain, three hundred miles away from Taoyuan City, is the target of the Tianlan Sect, and the Mithril Mine there makes the Tianlan Sect salivate.
The two sides did not immediately break out into a big war, but a small-scale fight, Tianlan Sect attempted to surround White Horse Mountain, cut off the foreign aid of White Horse Mountain, and grind the Tianxu Sect to death little by little.
And the Heavenly Void Sect also had to invest heavily in guarding it, the Mithril Mine in White Horse Mountain was too important to them, accounting for one percent of their entire sect's income, if White Horse Mountain fell again, the Heavenly Void Sect would continue to weaken.
·······
White Horse Mountain, the entire mountain is shrouded in formations, and the Tianxu Sect has set up a high-level mountain protection array here to cover the void and reality, and there is also a teleportation array inside, which leads directly to the mountain gate of the Tianxu Sect.
"Senior Brother Nanjian, you're here too"
At this time, a burst of light flashed in the teleportation array inside White Horse Mountain, and dozens of immortal cultivators appeared, the first of which was Nanjian Zhenjun.
"White Horse Mountain is in a hurry, the sect can't ignore it, go, go to the main hall"
Nan Jian nodded, and then the group came to the buildings inside the White Horse Mountain, the Tianxu Sect has been controlling this place for hundreds of years, all kinds of supporting facilities are complete, and there are even villages and towns.
Entering the Great Hall of the Heavenly Void Sect Cave Xuan, Nan Jian frowned and said, "What about Nan'an, why didn't he come?"
"Senior brother, something happened to Nan'an, he was arrested by Tianlan Sect"
"What, what's going on"
Nan Jian exclaimed, Nan An is his nephew, the backbone of the Nan family, what happened.
"More than half a month ago, Tianlan Sect sent people to Taoyuan City in a big way, I sent people to investigate, Nan'an also volunteered, but was discovered by the thieves of Tianlan Sect and was captured"
"Who caught him?"
"A Divine Soul Realm Immortal Cultivator named Jiang Cheng"
"What are you kidding, although Nan'an is in the early stage of Dong Xuan, his strength is no worse than that of the middle stage of Dong Xuan, how can he be caught by a Divine Soul Realm cultivator?"
Nan Jian felt incredible, Nan An was very valued, he had all the equipment on his body, and he couldn't take him in the middle of Dong Xuan, how could he be caught by the Divine Soul Realm, it was much more difficult to capture him alive than to kill him.
"Really, I can't figure it out either, but that's what it is"
"What is the name of his captor?"
"Jiang Cheng, I have never heard of this person before, it may be someone from the Dark Guard Hall of the Tianlan Sect"
"Jiang Cheng, how familiar is this name, I remember, he is from the Lost Land"
Nan Jian finally remembered, a few years ago, in order to go to the Forsaken Land to carry out a mission, he had read the information of the Forsaken Land, and had seen the name Jiang Cheng on it, and when he was in the Forsaken Land, Jiang Cheng had killed their disciples of the Heavenly Void Sect Divine Soul Realm.
"The Forsaken Land, isn't that the Land of the Barbarians?"
"There is also a possibility that there will be geniuses in the land of barbarians, find a few to kill this Jiang Cheng and let Zhenjun make a move"
Nan Jian thought of the abandoned place, his face darkened, what happened to the Immortal Palace, he finally knew now, Zijin Ling, the Dao weapon that the Heavenly Void Sect had cultivated for ten thousand years, and it was lost like this.
"Yes, brother"
The man also nodded, this kind of genius who can kill enemies across the border, as long as it is not his own person, then he must be destroyed as soon as possible, don't make another Liu Yijian.
"This time, I came on behalf of the sect to prepare to launch a counterattack against the Tianlan Sect, and annihilate this part of the Tianlan Sect in one fell swoop, so as to alleviate the crisis of the sect."
"Senior brother, does the sect have a plan?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, since last year, the Tianlan Sect has been constantly infiltrating in the direction of White Horse Mountain, and since the beginning of this year, it has been encircled and suppressed by a large army, and they are going to surround them, and the foreign aid of the sect has not come for a long time, and they are already very worried.
"Yes, from tomorrow, the Tianlan Sect will deal with you, so you will show weakness, bring the people and horses to the mountains, and give them all the outside, understand?"
"Yes, senior brother, it's just why, if you don't explain it clearly to the people below, I'm afraid that once the morale collapses, showing weakness will turn into a real defeat."
The man said that the morale of the Heavenly Void Sect was very weak now, and if they didn't make it clear, then it was very likely that they would turn from a feint to a real defeat.
"Tianlan Sect has dark guards, and our Tianxu Sect also has black guards, and the people of the black guards have been mixed into the Tianlan Sect, and there will inevitably be chaos in the rear of Tianlan Sect at that time, and you will know when the time comes, and it is inconvenient for me to say the specifics."
Nan Jian said that the Black Guard of the Tianxu Sect was established in imitation of the Dark Guard, a bit like the Tsing Yi Guard of the Great Wei, integrating various tasks such as intelligence gathering, assassination, and rebellion.
The two sects infiltrate each other, the Tianxu Sect has spies from the Tianlan Sect, and the Tianlan Sect also has spies from the Tianxu Sect, in order to keep the Mithril Mine in the White Horse Mountain, the Tianxu Sect is ready to use a spy who has been lurking for more than a hundred years, intending to reverse the decline of the Tianxu Sect.
······
Under the weakness of the Tianxu Sect, the men and horses of the Tianlan Sect attacked quickly, and in half a month, they had already made a strategic encirclement of the White Horse Mountain, about 50,000 horses, divided into three pieces, and half surrounded the White Horse Mountain.
Jiang Cheng also received a new task, that is, to escort supplies to the front line, and then help transport the wounded back to Taoyuan City, this process is very dangerous, because outside the White Horse Mountain, there are still people and horses left in the Tianxu Sect, specifically to attack and harass the Tianlan Sect.
"Be careful, go early and come back early"
Zhang Qi personally sent Jiang Cheng out of Taoyuan City, during this time, the relationship between the two grew by leaps and bounds, Zhang Qi already regarded Jiang Cheng as his own junior, and his investment in Jiang Cheng was very decisive.
"Understood, city lord, try to come back tonight"
Jiang Cheng said that Taoyuan City is only three hundred miles away from White Horse Mountain, and it takes less than two hours to go back and forth, in Jiang Cheng's opinion, it is not a difficult thing.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Cheng flew on a flying boat, the war in the immortal cultivation realm, logistics is actually not that important, and the supply line is no longer so dangerous, because there are things like flying boats and storage bags.
Just like this time, Jiang Cheng and the others escorted 500,000 catties of spiritual rice, 200,000 pieces of spiritual jade, and all kinds of materials, and only used 120 storage bags, which were piled on the flying boat, that is, a small corner, and the larger wooden boxes could fit it, and the escorted people and horses were fifty people.
The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and after flying to a high altitude, it flew towards White Horse Mountain, and in about an hour, Jiang Cheng landed on the outer position of the Tianlan Sect on White Horse Mountain.
"Inner disciple Jiang Cheng, I was ordered to escort the supplies, please receive them"
Jiang Cheng took out the task list, handed it to the person who received it, and then poured out the contents of the storage bag one by one, and then sent someone to count the correspondence, which took time.
Jiang Cheng personally stared at it, if he was missing, he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he asked Sima Xuan to receive the wounded, arrange for the wounded to return to the flying boat as soon as possible, and strive to leave in the afternoon.
It was very time-consuming to count the materials, and by the time the materials were counted, it was already afternoon, and after the handover, Jiang Cheng got the receipt and began to set off for home.
"Why are there so many wounded?"
"Senior brother, there are daily battles here in White Horse Mountain, the task is the day before yesterday, there are more wounded yesterday and today, so I can only squeeze it"
"Be careful"
Jiang Cheng said, originally said that he would bring back fifty wounded people, but now there are more than a hundred people, and the entire flying boat is crowded, and even Jiang Cheng has no place to sit.
"Pick up the speed and go back as fast as you can"
Jiang Cheng knew that the flying boat was a little overweight, so he ordered it to be forcibly accelerated, which would reduce the service life of the flying boat, but Jiang Cheng still did it.
"Boom"
Just as they reached the middle of Taoyuan City and White Horse Mountain, a sword light appeared.
"Be careful"
"A Sword of the True Monarch"
"Run"
The sword light appeared very suddenly, Jiang Cheng didn't think about it so much, and broke out directly, the golden body was running to the extreme, and he himself flew out of the flying boat at the fastest speed.
"Bang"
The flying boat was directly chopped into pieces, and it is estimated that none of the people on the flying boat survived, and even the hill on the ground was flattened.
"It's not dead, it's really a little capable"
A voice came, and then another sword light slashed towards Jiang Cheng.
"Roar"
Jiang Cheng burst into a shout, not to mention that the golden body was running to the extreme, and a big knife appeared in his hand, the true spiritual power exploded, the golden blood boiled, and he also slashed over.
The best defense is to attack, and if Jiang Cheng only defends now, it will be a dead end.
"Boom"
The sword light and the sword light collided, the sword light was quickly annihilated, and the residual sword light swept towards Jiang Cheng's body, Jiang Cheng's whole person flew out, and the qi on his body was directly shattered, and his skin was cut one by one, looking extremely miserable.
"Not dead yet?"
The True Monarch of the Heavenly Void Sect was shocked when he saw that Jiang Cheng was not dead, he was shocked, killing a Divine Soul Realm, but he didn't kill it in one move, which was too embarrassing.
"I don't believe it, you can't be killed"
The true monarch of the Heavenly Void Sect was a little angry, and he was about to make another move, but he didn't believe that Jiang Cheng couldn't kill him.
Jiang Cheng jumped up from the ground, didn't run, the skin and flesh on his body were constantly squirming, the wound was healing rapidly, the Red Refining Knife was already in his hand, desperately instilling true spiritual power into it.
"Innate purple qi, it's up to you"
Jiang Cheng roared angrily in his heart, he had already made all the means, only one of the innate purple qi that had been absorbed for many years and accumulated countless innate purple qi could still be dispatched, this was Jiang Cheng's nirvana.
"Yuan Lie, a true monarch, dealing with a Divine Soul Realm, do you have a face?"
In the distance, an angry roar came, followed by a sword light, and the true monarch of the Tianlan Sect also arrived.
"Hmph"
Yuan Lie snorted coldly, but he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and then, he casually slashed out a sword, and he himself quickly escaped, if he was entangled, he would be finished today.
"Boom"
Jiang Cheng also slashed out with all his strength, the sword light turned purple, and rushed towards the sword light, the two collided, and the huge impact force once again lifted Jiang Cheng out.
