Chapter 366: Surprise attack
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey
The Fire Cloud Sect's top brass abandoned all their original plans and decided to take advantage of the Flying Swan Sect being engaged in a large-scale battle with the demonic beasts and wipe them out.
The Flying Swan Sect's mountain gate, Feihong Mountain, was weakly defended and became the Fire Cloud Sect's top target.
Therefore, the Fire Cloud Sect's three Gold Core Daoist Masters did not take any of their disciples with them. Instead, they set out alone and traveled a thousand miles to attack.
As for the plan to instigate the Earthfire Sect to attack the Flying Swan Sect, that was entirely Liu Family's brothers' own doing.
They had been operating in the Earthfire Sect for so long that they were unwilling to give up their efforts so easily.
The Liu Family brothers had a certain amount of status in the Fire Cloud Sect, so they directly contacted the Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect to launch their plan.
Originally, the Fire Cloud Sect had intended to abandon the Earthfire Sect and no longer bother with these useless people.
However, Daoist Master Scarlet Flame has always been fond of the Liu Family brothers. After hearing their plan, he decided to give them a chance.
After all, it was just a waste of resources. There was no harm in using them.
If they succeeded, it would be a pleasant surprise. If they failed, it would not matter because the Fire Cloud Sect never expected the Earthfire Sect to play a significant role anyway.
Unexpectedly, the Liu Family brothers did give Daoist Master Scarlet Flame a big surprise.
The Earthfire Sect's all-out attack on the Flying Swan Sect actually attracted the Flying Swan Sect's attention and lured away most of the cultivators guarding the mountain gate.
With so many fewer cultivators guarding the mountain gate, even though Feihong Mountain had a third-rank mountain protection formation, it lacked enough cultivators to operate it and could not exert much power.
Even if Zhao Liefeng and the others had stayed on Feihong Mountain to operate the mountain protection formation, they might not have been able to withstand the surprise attack by the three Gold Core Daoist Masters. However, it would have been less trouble and they would have expended less energy.
After Zhao Liefeng and the others left Feihong Mountain, Daoist Master Scarlet Flame, Daoist Master Dark Flame, and Daoist Master Angry Flame, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters, descended from the sky and flew straight to Feihong Mountain.
The three Gold Core Daoist Masters flew at high speeds, and the air was filled with sharp whistling sounds.
They did not conceal their auras, and their powerful pressure spread out in all directions.
The three Gold Core Daoist Masters arrived too quickly, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators operating the mountain protection formation did not have time to react before the enemies had already charged into the formation's range.
The third-rank mountain protection formation had a certain degree of intelligence, and even though the main cultivators did not react in time, the formation activated on its own to resist the external attack.
"Boom boom boom..." A series of loud noises rang out.
The three Gold Core Daoist Masters did not hold back at all and attacked the mountain protection formation with all their might.
The main cultivator, who had only just reacted, was operating the formation to fight the enemy while also sending out a high-level alarm signal.
From the sound of the approaching enemies, it was clear that they were Gold Core Daoist Masters. The main cultivator knew that things were bad and could only grit his teeth and fight on.
Right now, Feihong Mountain was at its weakest. Almost all of the sect's elite cultivators were away, and the remaining cultivators were too weak.
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators were the only ones operating the mountain protection formation. Fortunately, they acted decisively and did not hesitate to send out a high-level alarm signal immediately.Flying Swan Sect has been in control of Feihong Mountain for several hundred years, and this is the first time that such a level of alarm has been issued.
Once this level of alert is issued, it means that Flying Swan Sect is in the most critical situation. Even Feihong Mountain may be breached.
At this point, Flying Swan Sect is facing a life-and-death crisis, and all of its forces must be mobilized to resist the enemy's attack.
All of the active disciples in the sect, including those who were seriously injured, and almost all of the Qi Refining disciples, rushed to the various corners of the mountain protection formation according to the drills they had experienced, and began to strengthen the formation's defense.
Fortunately, the Third Rank Mountain Protection Formation's self-defense gave the Flying Swan Sect's remaining cultivators a little time to react,
so that they could take their positions in time. In addition, Flying Swan Sect, like the former Green Bamboo Mountain, has many Foundation Establishment cultivators whose lifespans are coming to an end, and they have been in a hibernation state to prolong their lives.
In fact, Green Bamboo Mountain learned this trick from Flying Swan Sect.
After receiving the alarm signal, these sleeping cultivators were awakened and quickly joined the defense.
After all, Flying Swan Sect is a Gold Core Sect with a deep foundation, and there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators. There are also a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in hibernation, and nearly ten of them have awakened, including three Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators.
Although these cultivators cannot last long, and even if the enemy does not kill them, their remaining lifespan will soon be exhausted.
However, their remaining lives still have value, and they can cause the enemy great trouble.
With the addition of so many cultivators, the mountain protection formation began to operate at high speed and gradually began to exert its power.
If there were enough cultivators to preside over the formation, allowing this Third Rank Mountain Protection Formation to exert its full power, even if three Gold Core stage Daoist Masters attacked together, it would be impossible to break through the formation in a short period of time.
In fact, if any of Flying Swan Sect's Gold Core Daoist Masters were to remain in the formation, they could rely on the power of the formation to fight on equal terms with the three Gold Core Daoist Masters.
Even though its power was far from its peak, this mountain protection formation was able to temporarily hold off the three Gold Core Daoist Masters.
Knowing that time was of the essence and that enemy reinforcements could arrive at any time, Daoist Master Scarlet Flame did not want to delay too long. He took out a Third Rank Formation Breaking Talisman that he had prepared beforehand.
Seeing Daoist Master Scarlet Flame's actions, Daoist Master Dark Flame also took out a Third Rank Formation Breaking Talisman.
In the barren Endless Sea of Sand, even a Second Rank Formation Breaking Talisman is very rare.
However, the Jiuqu League is much richer than the Endless Sea of Sand, and the Fire Cloud Sect is a much older and more powerful sect than the Flying Swan Sect.
After years of collection and accumulation, the Fire Cloud Sect was still able to produce two Third Rank Formation Breaking Talismans.
The two Third Rank Formation Breaking Talismans were almost simultaneously activated, and two powerful forces descended upon the mountain protection formation, causing it to stop operating and become momentarily stagnant.
Daoist Master Angry Flame roared in anger, and a column of scorching fire directly pierced through the protection of the mountain protection formation and fell into the formation.
The cultivators inside the formation fought desperately, using talismans and magic tools to meet the fire column, and even a few fake Third Rank talismans were used.
However, everything was reduced to ashes in front of the fire column, and all resistance was useless.
One after another, fire columns penetrated the mountain protection formation, burning countless Flying Swan Sect disciples to ashes.
The power of the Formation Breaking Talismans quickly disappeared, and the formation began to operate normally again.
However, the cultivators guarding the formation had already lost half of their numbers in such a short period of time.
