Chapter 153 War Escalation (1/2)
"Not good, Junior Sister Lan's aura has disappeared." Tai Shi Mingzhen, who had been paying attention to his junior sister, said anxiously.
"Feng Tianzong wanted to kill her? What hatred, what resentment? There is no hatred between our Five Elements Sect and their Puppet Sect, right? Besides, when we were fighting for the dragon, you went to fight him in person.
What we did was nothing too excessive, right? Why did he act so cruelly?" A foundation-building disciple said with tears in his eyes.
The deceased junior sister had a good relationship with him, but she didn't expect that she died in Liaoyuan City just to test what formation Feng Tianzong had set up.
"Ah? There is no hatred, why would he want to kill people? We are just fighting for the dragon. If we fail, we will leave. Why kill people?
Feng Tianzong is really as cruel as the disciples of Qianshan Sect said, and he kills people if he disagrees with them.
Senior sister, let's go and help Junior Sister Lan to get revenge!" Wu Junhong said angrily.
Tai Shi Mingzhen waved his hand and said, "It's my fault. The Puppet Sect hasn't participated in the dragon fight for thousands of years, and they are not familiar with the current rules of the dragon fight.
The last time I went to see him, I said one more thing, that we must do everything possible, and we will use some excessive means.
My original intention was that it was normal for the two armies to use some unethical means in a war. It was also a notice to him in advance to avoid a deadly feud between the two sides.
I didn't expect that Feng Tianzong would misunderstand and let him kill us directly."
"It's not your fault, Senior Sister. I heard from the junior brothers of Qianshan Sect that the last time they faced Feng Tianzong, it was the same. They challenged openly in front of the battle, but they didn't expect Feng Tianzong to kill people. It was too cruel.
Even if you didn't say that you must do everything possible, he would still kill Junior Sister Lan." Wu Junhong said angrily.
"Every time the parties compete for the dragon, there will indeed be many casualties, but if it is not a mortal feud, most of the defeated parties will directly admit defeat and return to the mountain.
This Feng Tianzong is not familiar with the rules, and he will kill people when he attacks, and his strength is not weak. Obviously, the cruelty of this dragon competition has increased.
In the future, when the cultivators of other sects meet their opponents, they will follow suit and take lives, which will deepen the hatred of all parties. In the end, this dragon competition will become a cruel meat grinder." Tai Shi Mingzhen said worriedly.
Tai Shi Mingzhen's worries are not unreasonable. Many sects in the world of cultivating immortals have hatred for each other, or some conflicts of open and secret struggles.
It's just that over the years, due to the unspoken rules that have been agreed upon, most people will not fight directly with their lives when fighting each other, except for mortal enemies. Leave a way out for others so that they can meet again in the future.
Now Feng Tianzong has broken this unspoken rule. When many hostile sects or sects that already have conflicts fight each other, they will directly use ruthless means. Anyway, they are not the ones who took the lead in breaking the rules.
"Big sister, no matter what the reason, whether Feng Tianzong knows the unspoken rules or not, he has been the mortal enemy of my Five Elements Sect disciples since he killed Junior Sister Lan. We must kill him and avenge Junior Sister Lan." Wu Junhong said angrily.
"Yes, Big sister, this matter cannot be let go. Now Junior Sister Lan is dead. We can't say that he didn't know the rules and we won't hold him accountable, right?" Other disciples also said indignantly.
"My fellow disciples, please be patient. I am not saying that I will not avenge Junior Sister Lan, but I have some things to tell you in advance.
Compared with the previous battles, this battle will be much more dangerous, and Feng Tianzong is not an easy man. You have no experience fighting against the disciples of the Puppet Sect, so it is easy to suffer a big loss.
These puppet masters hide their bodies and command the puppets to fight with others. Once they cannot win, they will command the puppets to self-destruct. They are very rogue.
Now Feng Tianzong is proficient in formations and has set up a large formation in Liaoyuan City. With the protection of the large formation, if we want to kill his body, we must break the formation first.
When breaking the formation, we will be harassed by the puppets he commands. In addition, this person is brutal and merciless.
In this battle, even if our Five Elements Sect can win, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses." Tai Shi Mingzhen persuaded.
"Senior Sister, Feng Tianzong killed Junior Sister Lan, and this hatred is irreconcilable. Are we afraid of losses and will we not avenge Junior Sister Lan?" A male disciple said with red eyes. Obviously, the junior sister Lan was different in his heart.
"It's not that I won't take revenge, but in this battle, our brothers and sisters, including me, may be killed, so I hope that some of the brothers and sisters with weaker strength can withdraw from this dragon fight.
The revenge will be done by me, the senior sister. I brought you down the mountain, and I am responsible for your safety." Tai Shi Mingzhen explained.
"Senior sister, there is no need to say. We brothers and sisters went down the mountain to participate in the dragon fight not only to help you, but also for the opportunity to participate in the dragon fight.
Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should share life and death together. How can we escape from the battle? If we escape from this battle, we will look down on ourselves in the future, so how can we talk about the great way?" Wu Junhong said this with great righteousness, but he cut off everyone's retreat.
Tai Shi Mingzhen saw clearly that after she finished speaking, several disciples who had just been promoted to the foundation-building stage actually wanted to withdraw, but they were embarrassed to say it because of the friendship between fellow disciples.
Now that Wu Junhong said this, how can those junior brothers leave? If they really leave, wouldn’t it be considered desertion? How can they live as human beings when they return to the sect in the future?
Tai Shi Mingzhen didn’t know whether Wu Junhong was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, or just simply evil? Want to kill these junior brothers and sisters with low cultivation?
Tai Shi Mingzhen quickly shook his head. After all, they were all fellow brothers and sisters for decades, and there was no deep hatred. Wu Junhong really didn’t need to cheat people. From this point of view, he was just stupid.
Wu Junhong seemed to be quite smart at ordinary times, but he didn’t expect that he would do something stupid when his head got hot.
"Junior Brother Wu, you've gone too far. It's inevitable that there will be casualties when we go down the mountain to fight for the dragon. All of us should be prepared when we go down the mountain to participate in the dragon fight.
Junior Sister Lan's death was indeed due to the cruelty of Feng Tianzong of the Puppet Sect. As senior brothers and sisters, we also have the responsibility to avenge Junior Sister Lan.
But it's not a life-and-death enemy. This battle is dangerous. It's really too dangerous for junior brothers and sisters with insufficient cultivation to participate.
Why not stay in the rear and command the mortal army to intensify the siege." Tai Shi Mingzhen really didn't want several junior brothers and sisters who had just established their foundation to participate.
"Big Sister, you don't have to say more. I know you're doing this for our own good, but Junior Sister Lan is also our master. She was killed by Feng Tianzong like this. If we don't participate in revenge, we will feel uneasy.
Although our cultivation is not as good as that of Senior Brother Wu and Big Sister, we can help a little. Helping is also a token of our love for Junior Sister Lan." The junior brother who established his foundation with red eyes said earnestly.
Tai Shi Mingzhen looked at this junior brother angrily. What she just said had obviously moved some people, but now it was all ruined by this junior brother. How can she, as the eldest sister, persuade him? Forget it... I can't lead him.
"Elder sister, let's go to Liaoyuan City now, kill Feng Tianzong, and avenge Junior Sister Lan!" Wu Junhong petitioned.
It was as if Feng Tianzong was someone he wanted to kill and could kill at will.
Tai Shi Mingzhen looked at the excited junior brothers and sisters and felt tired, but she couldn't ignore it. Who made her the eldest sister of the Five Elements Sect?
"Don't worry, Feng Tianzong wants to fight for the dragon. If we go and kill him directly, wouldn't it be a bargain for him? We will use the mortal army to crush his foundation for fighting for the dragon. Push all the way to Liaoyuan City and let him experience the feeling of despair."
Tai Shi Mingzhen found a seemingly reasonable excuse, but in fact she was ready to join forces with the cultivators of other sects to act together.
None of them knew the formation. Feng Tianzong had already set up a formation in Liaoyuan City. If they rushed into it now, wouldn't they be courting death?
But she couldn't tell these things to the group of junior brothers and sisters who were already angry. Otherwise, under the leadership of Wu Junhong, these guys might rush up directly.
They could only use the secular army to talk about it, so that they could use this time to contact people from other sects to act together.
There were many forces that wanted to fight for the dragon, and Feng Tianzong was obviously a strong opponent. If such an opponent was eliminated in advance, many sects would still be willing to cooperate.
Just when the Five Elements Sect was excited, Feng Tianzong was still excitedly adjusting the formation. As for killing a female cultivator, he didn't care at all.
In his mind, the so-called dragon fight, isn't that fighting for the world? When fighting for the world with others, you still have to hold back, how stupid is that?
"Anyone who wants to compete with me for the world is trying to cut off my path, and is my mortal enemy. No problem."
For those sect cultivators, they come to compete for the dragon, the opportunity, and the luck. In order to quickly improve their cultivation.
Even if they lose in the end, they can still get opportunities and luck in the process of competing for the dragon, but the winner will have more in the end.
If it is good for everyone, there is no need to fight to the death, it is not worth it.
Because everyone has different goals, their attitudes towards the enemy are completely different.
Through actual combat, Feng Tianzong did find several places where the formation was not running smoothly. After all, it was a formation that he had synthesized himself, and there were some flaws in many places that could not be avoided.
Feng Tianzong also changed several nodes of the formation to make it run faster.
This time, a foundation-building cultivator was killed so easily, which was enough to show the excellence of the Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha formation that he had developed himself.
Moreover, the result of not fully launching the formation, only the earth veins and part of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars were called. The power of his twelve bone spirit puppets has not been called yet.
Feng Tianzong estimated that if the female cultivator's cultivation level was taken into consideration, he could swallow twenty or thirty cultivators of the same level in one bite without any effort.
If the formation was fully operated, the twelve bone spirit puppets were used, and the heavenly light and earthly evil were used to bless them, it would be no problem to defeat a golden elixir. However, if two golden elixir came at once, they could only be trapped. It was not as expected.
However, the problem was not big. There was a gap between the actual and the expected, which he could accept. Fortunately, the gap was not much. If the two stone spirit puppets Jinshi and Huishi in his hands with the strength of the golden elixir stage were involved, the combat power would be even stronger.
After dealing with the formation, Feng Tianzong had nothing to do. It happened that Liantian Yishu had made some progress. He was going to calculate what happened to Jin Hongzhi and why he suddenly disappeared.
"Jin Hongzhi is dead? But I can't figure out what happened at the beginning." Feng Tianzong frowned and said.
Jin Hongzhi, a mere person, is no longer useful to him today. He doesn't care if he dies.
But he can't figure out how he died. This means that there are cultivators involved in Jin Hongzhi's death.
"Was it Tai Shi Mingzhen and others from the Five Elements Sect who did it? Or is it the black hand hiding behind the scenes to plot against me?" Feng Tianzong thought doubtfully.
"Sir, Wang Mingyuan reported that the cities in the northern border have united and gathered a 100,000-strong army. Now they have officially launched a counterattack. The front line is tight, and there are many gang members with strong martial arts who sneaked into the city in advance to cause damage.
The situation is very unfavorable, but Zhang Weiyu, with the advantage of defending the city, is as solid as a rock. It should be impossible to tell the winner in a short time." Aunt Lan read the information in her hand to Feng Tianzong.
At this time, the battlefield was far away from Liaoyuan City, just in Wufeng City, the city that Zhang Weiyu had just conquered. Feng Tianzong's exploration eyes could not detect that place for the time being.
"Tell Wang Mingyuan to prepare for a long-term war, prepare food and grass, build weapons, and train new soldiers. Prepare to support Zhang Weiyu in the future." Feng Tianzong said calmly.
"Yes, young master, I will go to pass the order to Wang Mingyuan now." Aunt Lan said.
"I see that young master has been a little irritable recently, but is there anything bothering you?
I don't have the ability to help young master, I can only try my best to train beautiful girls to make young master happy.
Does young master need to appreciate singing and dancing?" Aunt Lan asked in a low voice.
Feng Tianzong shook his head and said, "No, Lan'er, come and press my head for me."
Aunt Lan first asked someone to pass Feng Tianzong's order to Wang Mingyuan. After finishing her business, she walked behind Feng Tianzong, stretched out her tender little hand, and gently pressed Feng Tianzong. After taking the Dingyan Pill, Auntie Lan has returned to her 30-year-old appearance.
Speaking of serving people, Auntie Lan is the one.
Since he built the Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha, Feng Tianzong really has no worries. He is already invincible, so what else can he worry about.
He is just upset that he can't find the black hand that plotted against him and can't take revenge for the time being.
