Chapter 1975 Counterattack
Lin Youwei followed up and said: "After the enemy attacked the mountain, many low-level clansmen were also injured. About one-fifth of the clansmen died in the battle!"
There is no death list for low-level monks, but the number of one-fifth is heartbreaking enough. The family has been developing in the spiritual world for hundreds of years, and the clan has only broken through the 20,000 mark. This time, more than 4,000 people were lost.
Wang Hao sighed and closed his eyes. As his consciousness spread out, he could hear the cries of pain all over the mountains.
Many clansmen hugged the bodies of their dead relatives, as if they had lost their souls.
"Blood debts must be paid with blood, children, rest in peace, the ancestors will avenge you!"
As if to comfort the dead souls, or perhaps to comfort himself, Wang Hao was speechless for a long time.
He expected the casualties, but when the bloody names appeared in front of him one by one, he still couldn't let it go. Among these dead and wounded, there were many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren he had held.
Perhaps if Wang Hao had come out of seclusion earlier, the casualties of the clan would not have been so serious!
But he also knew that this was impossible. If he did not break through to the late stage of refining emptiness first, the loss would be even greater, and even his children and Taoist companions might be killed or injured. It was unclear whether he could escape.
The time point of his appearance was not too late, because no matter when he appeared, he would be targeted by the refining emptiness cultivators in the three forces such as Yuansheng Sect.
His appearance was a decisive battle. At that time, the Wang family was not fully prepared, and the Qinghu Sword Sect had not left. The result would only be worse than now.
So he made up his mind from the beginning to kill as many threatening cultivators as possible, so as to revitalize the entire battlefield and lay the foundation for victory.
The situation was indeed as Wang Hao expected, and he did everything he should do.
Of course, he also thought of the possible casualties among the clansmen, and he was mentally prepared.
However, Wang Hao had previously instructed the low-level clansmen not to participate in the war and to protect them in Huayang Mountain, but such a large number of casualties occurred, which he could not accept.
Ji Xiaotang didn't say it, but he knew that a large part of these tribesmen were killed by him. Although he was knocked down by the old thief Fan Miao, it was his fault after all.
If he had fewer concerns before and transferred these low-level tribesmen to Qiankun Cave Heaven, there would not be such heavy casualties!
Ji Xiaotang sighed, "Husband, this is not the fault of war. The number of enemies is too large. Those casual cultivators are unwilling to fight hard battles, but are good at sneak attacks..."
"Husband..."
Wang Hao raised his hand. It was already like this. Whether he accepted it or not, the result would be the same.
"Order people to clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies of the tribesmen as much as possible, and build a tomb for those whose bodies cannot be found, so that future generations can remember the hard work of their ancestors."
"Save the injured tribesmen as soon as possible, and don't be stingy with elixirs. If there are not enough elixirs, go to Feixian City to buy them, and also ask some doctors from friendly forces to come and save them."
"Wu Qing, Wu Qing, you two siblings will do these things."
Soon, most of the people in the field followed the order and dispersed, leaving only a group of Lianxu cultivators.
"Xiaotang, there should be another mid-stage refining cultivator in the Pegasus Merchant Alliance, but the four of you plus my incarnation should be able to take him down. You can use persuasion as the main method and coercion as the auxiliary method. We need territory to recuperate and it is not appropriate to launch large-scale battles again!"
Ji Xiaotang was puzzled and asked, "My husband still has to deal with the Qinghu Sword Sect, and you go alone?"
Wang Hao shook his head and smiled, "It's not just me. Look, people are coming!"
Wang Hao pointed to the sky in the distance, and saw several rays of light passing by. They were four refining cultivators. One of them was very familiar to them, Chen Yaner from the Chen family. The others were also cultivators from surrounding forces. They came to congratulate him after seeing that the dust had settled.
Ji Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. She didn't say anything more. Wang Hao had thought too much and was too tired. What she had to do now was to stay behind him and deal with trivial matters, instead of bothering him with various problems!
…
“Fellow Daoist Wang, congratulations, I am late!”
Chen Yaner’s first words made Wang Hao feel particularly harsh. What is there to be happy about when so many clansmen are killed or injured? However, Wang Hao knew that the other party was congratulating him sincerely. The other party should also be paying attention to the situation on the Wang family’s side. Maybe when it comes to the desperate stage, the other party will help.
But the other party did nothing after all, which is undoubtedly a step further than Yuan Fang!
“Everyone, you are a guest from afar, but I feel sorry for letting you make a wasted trip. It just so happens that I plan to go to Qinghu. I wonder if you are interested?”
Wang Hao got straight to the point.
The Wang family suffered heavy losses this time. Some clansmen had to stay behind, and some had to follow Ji Xiaotang to fight the Pegasus Merchant Alliance. There were not many people that Wang Hao could use.
So he set his sights on Chen Yan'er and the others. In addition to the few Void Refining cultivators, there were also a large number of low-level cultivators entrenched here. Some of these people had made contributions and were waiting for the Wang family's reward, but there were more people who had gained nothing and were too cautious.
It just so happened that the Qinghu Sword Sect had a lot of wealth, enough for these people to work hard!
"Qinghu Sword Sect?" Chen Yan'er was stunned, and then realized something. Several Void Refining cultivators couldn't help but look at each other, and after a moment, they all nodded tacitly.
They had already seen the result of this battle. The Wang family won a great victory. Except for the Yuansheng Sect, the other two families were not enough to describe it as broken bones.
"Wang only wants the land in Qinghu, and as long as you don't damage it too much, some of the frivolous wealth, martial arts books, and even the population are free for you to take!"
Wang Hao offered a price. Qinghu Sword Sect still had two Void Refining cultivators, plus Zuo Jianshan who had fled back, there were three Void Refining cultivators in total. This was not difficult for Wang Hao.
I brought Chen Yan'er and others with me just to speed up the process and share the Fan family's anger.
"Since Fellow Daoist Wang has invited me, my little sister should go with me," Chen Yan'er agreed first. She knew that her late arrival had caused a rift in the friendship between the two. If she refused this time, the relationship between the two would probably never be the same again. Hope it’s like before!
"Haha, I heard that the spirit fish in Qinghu Lake are plump and fat. Yan has long wanted to try it!"
"They did evil first, and it is appropriate for Fellow Daoist Wang to punish them. Fellow Daoist Wang, whatever you say, we will follow!"
"The battle just now made people feel itchy. I also followed fellow Daoist Wang to stretch my hands and feet!"
How could these people miss out on such a bargain?
The power of the fairy city only rotates once in a thousand years. This kind of opportunity to make a fortune does not come often. If you seize it, you will become famous. If you don't seize it, you will only be greedy for others!
Wang Hao nodded slightly, looked at the low-level monks nearby, and gradually floated up into the sky, and shouted coldly: "I want to conquer Qinghu Lake, and I will let you plunder the wealth. Is there anyone who dares to go with me?"
