C262 Reasons

Of course, Yang Junshan did not do it on purpose. Even though he was able to control the formation and trap forty Martial Disciples, he was still able to hold on for such a long time. Even he himself was starting to feel that it was inconceivable.

The collapse of the formation was due to him reaching his limits in controlling the formation. He did not want his dantian to be damaged because he could maintain the formation for as long as possible.

As for Xiong Xiliang being killed by Zheng Qingyuan's counterattack, that was an accident. Yang Junshan also noticed the presence of a heavily injured late stage martial artist the moment the array crumbled. At this time, he would not let go of such a chance to reap the credit!

To Yang Junshan, killing a late stage Martial Disciple was a challenge that would require him to be two levels higher. However, according to the Heaven Shaking Sect's rules of meritorious service, killing a late stage Martial Disciple was the same as killing another two steps higher. According to the rules of meritorious service of two people, the total number of meritorious service of one's human head was more than eight, which was not far from the twelve human heads needed to exchange for a mid-grade magical equipment.

There were also several cultivators from Heaven Shaking Sect who happened to be surrounded when the formation was collapsing. Even though they had chosen to escape at the first moment and the Heavenly Wolf Sect and Spirit Opening Sect cultivators who were trapped in the chaos did not kill them immediately, the Heaven Shaking Sect's side had still lost four cultivators. Adding the three who had fallen earlier and the heavily injured members, the Heaven Shaking Sect's side had basically crippled a small team.

Although Yang Junshan's formation had caused more cultivators to perish than before, when the Heaven Shaking Sect's side gathered in the direction of the three groups, they realized that the Heavenly Wolves and Spirit Opening Sect's cultivators did not pursue them.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief in surprise. When they turned around to look, they realized that the two factions behind them were also gathering together. And their numbers … seemed to not be that much more than their own forces!

At this moment, the crowd focused their shocked gazes on the panting youth standing next to Liu Zhifei. Although the formation he arranged was quickly broken, at least fifteen people had already been killed in such a short period of time.

If this was not enough to shock everyone, then looking at the four cultivators standing in front of the two sects, one of them even used his hand to cover his bloodied abdomen, it was obvious that he was heavily injured. One could tell how serious the current situation was.

Four Martial Cultivators? Not bad, of the original six, only four remained. The two who were missing had an obvious ending.

On the other hand, the Heaven Shaking Sect only had twenty people left out of the three groups. On the other hand, the Heaven Shaking Sect only had twenty people left out of the three groups.

They had roughly understood the situation within the formation previously. Under the combined assault of the three of them, they were only able to kill one cultivator of the same cultivation level and injure one of them seriously. However, the other party was missing one person, who killed the other Zheng Qingyuan?

Even though the formation crumbled so quickly, causing them to lose the opportunity to further expand their battle achievements, and even caused their own group to be surrounded and killed in the instant the formation crumbled, compared to the effects of the Primary Magnetic Spirit Formation, these were already insignificant.

Even though he had used up more than half of the spiritual power in his body, he was still full of energy. He laughed loudly and said, "Awesome! Awesome!" "Awesome!" "Awesome!" "Awesome!" "wuu …

The Heavenly Wolf and Opening Spirit Faction had invested six squads in a total of sixty Martial Disciples. However, they had lost half of their troops under the sniping attacks of the three squads, and their own side only had a third of the enemy's casualties. No matter what the circumstances, this could be considered a glorious victory.

Ji Chenglin heavily breathed and suppressed the anger in his eyes as he said, "Don't be happy too early. Although the other party has been heavily injured, their strength is still above ours. We don't have any formation to rely on anymore!"

Liu Zhifei spoke confidently, "It doesn't matter. At this point, they will definitely not attack again. With our momentum, even if they want to attack again, how many people will we have left after defeating us? How are we going to rescue the Spirit Opening Sect's strongholds?"

Liu Zhifei's voice was very loud. Not only did the surrounding Heaven Shaking Sect's cultivators hear him clearly, even the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Spirit Opening Sect's cultivators heard him clearly. The Heaven Shaking Sect's aura grew even stronger, while the other side's remaining thirty or so cultivators were in an uproar.

Even though Liu Zhifei spoke confidently, he secretly sent a sound transmission to the cultivators around him, warning them not to let their guard down. This naturally included Yang Junshan.

However, at this time, Yang Junshan made a sound of 'eh'. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Yang Junshan pointed helplessly at him and said, "My fellow brothers, the spiritual energy in the direction of the Faction of Opening Spirit Sect seems to have stopped …"

Previously, everyone was still immersed in the previous life and death battle, but they didn't notice that the previously multicolored sky ten miles away from the gap in the Sunset Ridge was now gradually becoming clear, and the deafening rumbling and intense spirit energy turmoil had already stopped.

The battle at the foothold had ended!

Both sides were stunned. Victory or defeat?

This thought flashed across both sides' minds for a split-second before the Heaven Shaking Sect started to cheer in unison. As for the Heavenly Wolf and Spirit Opening Sect cultivators, they seemed to be disheartened.

No one doubted that the stronghold could still be maintained under the siege of the six squads from the Heaven Shaking Sect. Since the direction of the stronghold was now quiet, there was only one reason: when the three squads from the Heaven Shaking Sect attacked them, the stronghold of the Spirit Opening Sect in the border of the three counties had already been pulled out!

At the same time, in order to prevent one side of the Heaven Shaking Sect from being chased down by the Ouroboros Clan, they had left a group of cultivators with two late stage cultivators to lead the group to the back. Since the stronghold had already been uprooted, it was useless for them to send reinforcements.

"Do you still want to chase?" "What are you guys doing?" Ye Chong asked, as he saw Liu Zhifei leading the three of them.

"You still have the strength to chase?" Liu Zhifei asked in amusement.

"Actually, we are also at the end of our tether!" Ji Chenglin smacked his lips and said.

"Even if it's just falling behind his back, it's still fine!" he said, clearly unwilling to give up.

"Are you sure that no reinforcements are coming?" Liu Zhifei glanced at him and continued to ask, "Are you sure that the people who are besieging the Spirit Opening Sect's stronghold will come over to support us?"1

"They will come, but in any case, they will still come to see us. Even if it was just a joke, they still can't do it in time. Ji Chenglin has already taken care of the stronghold, so no matter how heavy the damage or spiritual power consumption is, he can just cover it up!"

At this time, a realization hit him, but he still said with a smile, "But we still let some people down. Not only did we make it through this battle, but it was done beautifully. I'm sure those with ulterior motives will not be able to question Brother Liu's qualification as the successor."

Liu Zhifei harrumphed. He had a contemptuous smile on his face, but he still turned around and said, "But this time it's all thanks to Little Yang. If it wasn't for his array, we wouldn't have lasted this long!"

Yang Junshan spoke humbly, but in his heart, he was smiling bitterly. He had obviously become involved in the quarrels between the inner sect disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and the conversation between the three did not avoid Yang Junshan, but it was clearly for him to hear. The reason was very simple, even in the Heaven Shaking Sect, the inheritance of an array master was very weak.

Ji Chenglin had already called some people to collect the spoils of war, while Chin Ben was leading a group of cultivators to search for spoils of war. Liu Zhifei and Yang Junshan were the only ones left in the area.

Yang Junshan knew what Liu Zhifei was going to say, it was nothing more than words to win over and explain. Instead, he asked, "There is one thing I don't understand, this battle is considered a big deal at the border right? Six small teams encircled the border, three small teams sniped, and the border was also in chaos, could it be that their goal is just to remove a stronghold in Hu Yao County with only two small teams guarding it? If we are to talk about the results of the battle, the number of people that our three squads have killed at the entrance of the Sunset Mountains is probably more than the two squads', right? "

Liu Zhifei was surprised at first. He didn't expect Yang Junshan to ask the first question, and didn't immediately ask them why they were plotting against him. Instead, he asked directly about the purpose of this operation, which actually made Liu Zhifei's prepared explanation useless.

"Little Yang, I believe you can understand that this was originally someone else's trap for the three of us. However, I never expected that it would be so easy for one of your array formations to break through it. Originally, we did not have the heart to pull everyone in, but since things have already come to this point, you will likely vent your anger on those people who did not want to deal with us, so …"

"So, I can only accept my mistake and stand on your side, right?" Yang Junshan mocked.

Liu Zhifei looked slightly embarrassed, but he still said seriously, "To put it bluntly, I also know a bit about your relationship with Martial Uncle Chen Ji, so you should know that Martial Uncle Chen is on my side. The reason why you were assigned to the third squad is also because of Senior Brother Song Wei.

Yang Junshan waved his hand and said helplessly, "Tell me about the stronghold!"

Liu Zhifei laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. This time, the reason why we attacked the Spirit Opening Sect's foothold in Hu Yao County was to expand our territory and extend the Heaven Shaking Sect's territory to the south. Because, in the area around the Mt. Qu Wu and the Sunset Ridge, there is a high possibility of hiding a mixed spirit vein.
