Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16278
Chapter 16276: The Second Offensive
Wood Escape Technique is one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, considered one of the simplest. Although simple, it doesn’t mean it lacks power. In fact, the Five Elements Escape Technique is a very practical and useful technique.
Cultivators are practical people; if a technique is inconvenient or difficult to use, it will only become an unpopular technique, never a basic one. What are the characteristics of basic techniques? First, they are convenient to use; second, they are simple to cultivate. The Five Elements Escape Technique belongs to this category.
Wood Escape Technique is one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques. This technique has two characteristics: first, it can use the power of plants to escape; second, it allows one to hide within plants. If you want to use the power of plants to escape, you can escape a distance of up to a hundred miles at a time. If you want to hide within plants, as long as you don’t move, it’s generally impossible for others to detect you.
This is why the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples didn’t initially detect the Azure Wood Sect members. The Azure Wood Sect members were highly skilled in wood-escape techniques, which the Blood Slaughter Sect members couldn’t detect.
Meanwhile, Azure Wood Sect cultivators began to emerge from the burned Azure Sun Trees. They couldn’t just wait to die; they had to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect members. Of course, they were no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect and were killed instantly.
However, Xu Ying soon noticed a large number of Kingdom-level experts flying towards the Azure Wood Sect. Xu Ying immediately shouted, “A large number of enemies are coming! Retreat! Retreat quickly!”
Everyone from the Blood Slaughter Sect flew to the Creation Golden Wheel, entered it, and then the Creation Golden Wheel plunged into the ground and disappeared.
By the time the other kingdom-level experts arrived, Xu Ying and his group had already fled. The good news was that the Azure Wood Sect’s losses weren’t significant. They hadn’t engaged Xu Ying and his group in a direct confrontation. Although they suffered some losses, it was negligible for a sect, especially since their kingdom-level experts were still alive.
In fact, those kingdom-level experts had used wood-escape techniques to escape the moment the protective formation broke. Don’t think it’s shameful; they are cultivators, and preserving their lives is paramount. Their escape was perfectly normal. As for those hiding in the Azure Sun Tree, they were all Azure Wood Sect disciples who hadn’t had time to escape and weren’t particularly strong. Even if they died, the loss to the Azure Wood Sect wouldn’t be substantial.
Although the defensive array of the Azure Wood Sect was breached, the sect suffered minimal losses, which was undoubtedly good news for other sects. Consequently, the kingdom-level experts who came to support the Azure Wood Sect were overjoyed. This news quickly reached Qingxuan and his group, who were also delighted, as the iron rod surveillance tactic proved effective, putting their minds at ease. Xu Ying and the others,
having confirmed their safety, breathed a sigh of relief. They had been putting on a show all day, and it had been a very arduous performance. The reason they broke the wooden rod used for monitoring the ground was entirely intentional; Liu Yi had directed the Creation Golden Wheel to deliberately crash into it, as he worried that the Azure Wood Sect wouldn’t be able to detect them.
Xu Ying and his group were also putting on an act when they attacked the Qingmu Sect. How could Xu Ying and his group not discover the Qingmu Sect members hiding inside the Qingyang Trees? But they had to pretend they couldn’t, then they set the trees on fire, and finally used divine fire. It was all an act. They were the Wanfa Divine Sect; if they couldn’t even break a Wood Escape Technique, wouldn’t that be too fake? So, of course, they had to break the Wood Escape Technique. And it seemed to be working well; at least they convinced the other sects of their current strength.
After this battle, the people from those sects all gained confidence. Qingxuan specially invited all the other sects to the Tianxuan Sect. After the sect leaders of the other sects arrived, Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, “The Qingmu Sect did a good job this time. This proves that the idea proposed by Sect Leader Wen is feasible. We no longer need to worry about the Wanfa Divine Sect attacking us from underground. What we need to do next is find the Wanfa Divine Sect members and give them a good beating.”
Everyone nodded, their faces filled with excitement. Qingxuan looked at them and said, “I called you all here today to talk about this matter. Our method did indeed prevent the Myriad Laws Divine Sect from attacking us from underground, but they will soon discover those iron rods. They might then make changes. To be honest, their Earth Magnetic Sword Formation, even without an underground attack, is quite powerful in a direct attack. We must be careful.” Qingxuan’s
words dampened the excitement on everyone’s faces. They considered his words and realized he was right. The Earth Magnetic Sword Formation was indeed extremely powerful, capable of breaking through a mountain-protecting formation in one strike. Although it wasn’t the mountain-protecting formation of their major sects, the power of that sword strike was definitely much stronger than a strike from a kingdom-level expert. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect stopped attacking from underground and attacked directly from the surface, the power would be considerable, and they certainly needed to be cautious.
A sect leader spoke up, “Although the Qingmu Sect didn’t suffer many casualties, their material losses were considerable. There’s another point everyone should be aware of: their protective mountain formation is essentially destroyed. While it’s been erected, it was forcibly broken through. Many of the array symbols within the formation couldn’t withstand the impact and were destroyed, rendering it unusable. They’ll have to spend a huge amount of resources to rebuild it. Furthermore, their sect has been severely damaged. So, while their personnel losses weren’t significant, their material losses were substantial. If the Wanfa Divine Sect uses this method against other sects, I fear they won’t be able to withstand it.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned grave. Indeed, for the Wanfa Divine Sect, it was merely a matter of attacking with the Creation Golden Wheel a few times, but the losses for these sects were enormous. Not to mention personnel, the material losses alone were already unbearable, causing them considerable headaches.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect quickly walked to Qingxuan’s side, whispering a few words in his ear. Qingxuan’s face darkened, and he waved his hand, dismissing the disciple. After the disciple left, Qingxuan glanced at everyone and said, “I just received news that the Wanfa Divine Sect has launched a counterattack. After the reinforcements from various sects withdrew, they directly attacked again. This time, they first destroyed the Qingmu Sect’s teleportation array outside, and then attacked the Qingmu Sect again. Fortunately, the Qingmu Sect wasn’t too careless; they noticed when their teleportation array outside was attacked, so they…” When they discovered the Myriad Laws Sect was attacking again, all their people fled. However, the Myriad Laws Sect showed no mercy, completely destroying the Qingmu Sect’s main hall before leaving. The Qingmu Sect suffered heavy losses this time; much of their sect’s resources were looted, and all the trees on Qingyang Mountain were destroyed. It can be said that the Qingmu Sect is now severely weakened, and it will be very difficult for them to recover to their original state.
Upon hearing Qingxuan’s words, everyone’s expression changed. They hadn’t expected the Myriad Laws Sect to launch a counterattack. Although not all of the Qingmu Sect members were killed, the entire sect was destroyed, and it would be very difficult for them to recover.
Most importantly, if the Myriad Laws Sect continued to do this, it would be even more of a headache for them. It can be said that the Myriad Laws Sect played this move too well. Next time they attack someone, that person will not dare to be careless. Even if they retreat, they will be on tenterhooks. This is the most terrifying thing.
Moreover, this incident made them realize a fact: the Myriad Laws Divine Sect can attack whomever it wants. It’s not that once they’ve attacked someone, they won’t attack again. That’s not true. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect can attack whomever they want. In other words, the sects that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect attacked before might be attacked again. Although those sects were all destroyed, don’t forget that their territories were occupied by other sects and turned into branch halls. And the sects that occupied those places were all large sects. They didn’t have many people stationed in those branch halls. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect attacks those places again, then the losses of those large sects will not be small.
It was precisely because of this thought that the sect leaders looked so grim. Qingxuan spoke up, “Regardless, the Qingmu Sect has set a good example for us. As for how to arrange things for your own sects after you return, I won’t say more. In short, let’s be careful in everything.”
Everyone was indeed in no mood for another meeting. They all stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and then turned to leave. Qingxuan returned the bow and saw them to the door. Only then did he say to a disciple, “Summon all the elders and the hall masters of each branch to a meeting.” The disciple responded, bowed to him, and then turned to go and inform them, while Qingxuan returned to the council hall.
Soon, all the elders and branch hall masters of the Tianxuan Sect arrived. Once everyone was there, Qingxuan looked at them and said, “I think everyone knows about the Qingmu Sect. The Wanfa Divine Sect attacked them for the second time, completely destroying the Qingmu Sect’s main hall. Although the Qingmu Sect’s experts and most of its disciples are still alive, they will likely be unable to cultivate powerful disciples for a long time to come. What are your thoughts on this matter?”
