C255 Worry

How did he get Hu Yao County?

It was not only Yang Junshan who had doubts, but the other cultivators that had doubts. Weren't they always fighting with the Heavenly Wolf Sect cultivators of Ling Zhang County, how did they suddenly come here, could it be that they wanted to fight alongside the Spirit Sect?

But to be honest, this was a good opportunity to attack the Spirit Opening Sect. No one would have thought that the border guards of the Heaven Shaking Sect, who were fighting with the Heavenly Wolf Sect to the death, would turn around and attack the Spirit Opening Sect.

The only thing to worry about was that this time, they would have to face the combined efforts of the two factions, Ling Zhang County and Hu Yao County. However, thinking back to how Mengyu County had previously used his power alone to fight against the combined efforts of the two counties, everyone did not have to worry about it anymore, not to mention that the Heavenly Wolf Sect bandits had been caught and brutally beaten up by the border guards of Mengyu County.

However, was there enough manpower for the three teams in front of him?

Yang Junshan's doubts were quickly dispelled. When they turned a corner, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy accompanied by a rumbling sound came from afar.

"He's making his move!"

Just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, they heard the voice of Squad Five's leader, Chestnut Ben, with a hint of excitement on his face.

Seeing everyone's puzzled gaze, Liu Zhifei coughed, directing everyone's attention towards him. Then he said in a deep voice, "I guess they all know that ten miles away from here is where the Opening Spirit Sect is stationed at the border of Huyao County. There are at least two Border Patrol Teams stationed there. At this time, there are already second, sixth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and fifteenth squads working together to encircle and annihilate this stronghold."

Killing three small border guards in one go was truly a huge feat. If it was really successful, then for Hu Yao County's Opening Spirit Sect cultivators, it would be like a bolt out of the blue. Yang Junshan even suspected that if it really was successful, then Hu Yao County's opening Spirit Faction Daoist Cultivator might not even be able to sit still.

The Spirit Opening Sect had two Border Patrol teams stationed near the border of the three counties. However, just like the Heaven Shaking Sect in Mengyu County, each stronghold had a defensive array that could defend them from two times the enemy's attack.

Since the border guards of the Heaven Shaking Sect had gathered six small teams to attack, breaking through the stronghold wasn't a problem. The only thing to worry about was how long the stronghold would take and how fast the reinforcements would be.

If the six border guards couldn't break through the defensive formation in a short period of time, then the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for the border guards of the Heaven Shaking Sect.

"If the six squads attack a foothold together, doesn't that mean that there will be loopholes in the border guards' defenses?"

"Are you confused? A stronghold like this has two squads that are about to be completely wiped out. If they don't provide reinforcements, are they thinking of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao? Which 'Wei' do they want to surround in order to achieve 'Zhao'?"

"We don't have much to do with the six squads attacking the foothold. What's the point of our three squads joining in on the fun? But it's some sort of collaboration, support, containment or something, right?"

"I've heard that a few people on the merit list have already exchanged for low-grade magic tools from the Heaven Shaking Sect. Our three teams haven't gotten any merit points in this period of time, right?"

"I think he's studying with the crown prince again. All the credit belongs to his six teams!"

When Liu Zhifei heard the people whispering, he stopped talking. However, he heard the discussions of the people around him and his expression became extremely ugly.

However, he still waited until everyone had quieted down, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were once again focused on him, he forced a smile and said, "Our three teams' mission is to block the Spiritfount Sect or Sirius Sect's border guard squads that have come to our rescue …"

"What did I say? It really is them eating meat for us to eat, right?"

"Wrong, we're not eating soup, but chewing on bones. Once that foothold is surrounded, the Spirit Opening Sect's border guard team will still not risk their lives to save us. In addition, when we reach the border guard team, the ones we can block will be reinforcements from both sides!"

"Ha, this time, let's not talk about reaping military merits, otherwise, it would be the fortune of the heavens!"

"All of you shut up!"

In the blink of an eye, he was back under his control. However, the suppression from his mind made the nearly thirty Martial Disciples present speechless for a moment.

Although Liu Zhifei's breath was fleeting, the two of them could clearly feel that his cultivation had already reached the critical point of the fourth level, and that he could condense and advance to the fifth level at any time.

"Is your personal merit more important, or is it more important to completely remove a foothold? Once the mission starts, I don't want to hear any more complaints. Since everyone knows that we might face a difficult situation, then we should all be more clear about the need to work together, otherwise, if we really become the cause of someone else's war effort, then it would be asking for it! "

He had originally wanted to join the six squads that were besieging the stronghold. According to the past, as the most popular candidate for this year's Successor Disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect, his chances of winning would be 80 to 90%, and the battle to uproot the stronghold would also become his experience.

However, the ambush from the Heavenly Wolf Sect bandits that had infiltrated Mengyu County had caused his position in the sect to plummet. More than half of the eight team members had died, and only he and Luo Bingkun had managed to escape.

Although he had brought back the evidence of the Heavenly Wolf Bandits' invasion into the country to rob the merchant caravan, it was only to make up for their contributions. However, in the aspect of competing for the true disciple qualification, besides such a big mistake, Liu Zhifei had actually caused him to lose a lot of points.

What's more, he did not know which of his fellow disciples had landed a blow on his back. Even though he did not have the qualifications to fight for the main stronghold, he was sent here to block the reinforcements of the Sky Wolf Sect and Spirit Opening Sect.2

This was simply a difficult task. If they succeeded this time, the biggest credit would definitely not be theirs. However, if they failed, it was most likely that their attempt to block the boss would fail.

However, Liu Zhifei could not delay any further because of the order. When faced with many reinforcements that might appear, he would be lucky not to die here, let alone reap the military merits.

Liu Zhifei, who was originally full of anger, suddenly erupted with anger when he heard everyone's cold words. Unexpectedly, this immediately intimidated all the cultivators in the three squads, and in the next moment, his efficiency increased by quite a bit.

Although a Martial Disciple can control the Qi and fly in the air when they reach the fourth stage, if they can truly escape without fear, then they must at least condense the essence energy after the fifth stage. Although a Martial Disciple can control the Qi and fly in the sky when they reach the fourth stage, if they can truly escape without fear, then they must at least condense the essence energy after the fifth stage.

Liu Zhifei raised his eyes and glanced at the people beside him, then he shouted, "Therefore, the ones who came to rescue us, be it Ling Zhang County or Hu Yao County, must have come from Lu Xing. Then, the dangerous pass at Sunset Ridge, which is currently occupied by our three teams, is their only path!"

The seventh squad, Ji Chenglin, worriedly said, "Even though the terrain here is dangerous, the battle between cultivators is not a close combat. There aren't many advantages that we can take advantage of!"

Squad Five suddenly thought of something and said, "Senior brother Liu, didn't your squad have a formation master? Did he die in the siege of the Sirius Sect's bandits last time?"

If someone else asked this, Liu Zhifei would most likely fall out with them, but now was not the time to ask about face. Liu Zhifei's face was full of unhappiness, but he still replied snappily, "Thanks to you, that kid went back home, and luckily he didn't die. He's currently in the third squad!"

Ji Chenglin's eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "That's great. If there's a formation master who can set up a defensive formation, then this battle would be a bit easier. But in such a short period of time, would that kid be able to set up a spirit rank array?"

"Call him over to ask!" "What's going on?"

Liu Zhifei had already hinted at him preparing to set up the array when he was preparing to set off at the entrance of the Sunset Mountains. It was just that due to the lack of time, he couldn't set up the defensive array before the six squads besieged the foothold, so Yang Junshan himself didn't have the confidence to set up a defensive array in a short period of time to accommodate all thirty Martial Cultivators. If he could set up a formation, then it would be enough time for the array to expand in size.

After asking Yang Junshan about this, Yang Junshan pondered for a moment and said: "Since we don't have enough time, then why not delay for a while, since the reinforcements from Ling Zhang County or Hu Yao County won't be able to come all at once. We can take this opportunity to do some research, maybe we can take this opportunity to get some military gains and come back."
