"Martial Uncle, why did you give up Wasteland Town?"
Tan Shusheng did not dare to resent Yellow Flower Town, but this did not stop him from feeling wronged. Back in the day, he had contributed the most to the Spirit Opening Sect taking down the Wasteland Town, and it was also because of that that he was able to become a true disciple of the Spirit Opening Sect.
He could understand the resentment of his sect's disciples, but he had to consider all aspects of the matter since he was a high-level cultivator of the Spirit Faction.
"Disciple Tan, the territory we're occupying is too big. It's so big that we don't have enough men to guard it."
Tan Shusheng was a Successor Disciple of the Opening Spirit Sect after all, so he naturally had a good eye. Hearing this, he said, "Is Martial Uncle talking about the pressure from the alien cultivators at the northern border of the sect, the two counties?"
"Not only that, after Senior Brother Cheng Shiting's death, we were previously invited by the Seven Spirits Sect to participate in the battle at the border between the two counties." Huang Hua said with a look of admiration, "Not only that, after Senior Brother Cheng Shiting's death, we were previously invited by the Seven Spirits Sect to participate in the war at the border of the two counties.
Tan Shusheng lowered his head and did not say anything. He seemed to have understood the sect's difficulties, but the next piece of news that came after Huang Hua, caused Tan Shusheng to sink into a state of shock, "The most important thing is the news that came from our sect's scouts Jinyu County. The Heaven Shaking Sect's Qing Tree has most likely advanced to Heavenly Dipper Realm!"
Tan Shusheng suddenly raised his head and said, "What?" This is impossible, Qing Mu was far inferior to Senior Master Yuan Fei in terms of cultivation time, so how did he advance to the Heavenly Dipper Realm a step earlier than Senior Master Yuan Fei? "
He said, "This matter is truly unbelievable, but our sect's spy has been able to deduce from the words of the high-level cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Sect that seventy to eighty-percent of the matter is true. Senior Sister Yuan Fei estimates that the green tree either found some great lucky chance in the Hidden Sky Ruins, or found some shortcut to complete its mission quickly. Of course, it could also be a secret technique passed down by the Heaven Shaking Sect itself.
"He must have used a secret technique to take a shortcut. Definitely!" Tan Shusheng muttered to himself, but he could not conceal the shock on his face.
Sighing, Huang Hua spoke again: "Regardless of the method used by that green tree, there shouldn't be any mistake in advancing to the Heavenly Dipper Realm. However, since even our sect doesn't have a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, the Heaven Shaking Sect will definitely retaliate.
Tan Shusheng only felt his mouth full of bitterness, but he still said, "I'm afraid … I'm afraid it won't be possible. Not only will it be impossible to guard the wasteland, but even Wilderness Town and the county town will find it extremely hard to defend it, unless …"
"Unless the sect sends out at least another Adept to work with me to guard the city," Huang Hua said with a wry smile. "But the sect really can't spare the manpower anymore!"
"What about Sandstorm Town?"
"The Desolate Sand Town cannot be lost," Huang Hua said resolutely. "The Sunset Mountains mine is very important to our sect, and the Desolate Sand Town must be controlled by our sect. Moreover, we already have access to the Desolate Sand Town, so when we leave Mengyu County, do you dare to say that we won't make a comeback?"
"But …"
"Martial Nephew Tan, do you still remember the spirit vein that is about to take shape in Wasteland Town?"
Tan Shusheng stared blankly for a moment, his face revealing a look of regret, he said: "How come I don't remember, that Yang family from Wasteland Town thought that only their own Spirit Master found this Spiritual Pulse. They didn't know that Wasteland Town was already their sect's territory, with a Spiritual Pulse being born, how could the Spirit Masters from our sect be blind?"
"Unfortunately, Martial Uncle originally wanted to borrow this spiritual vein to plot against Yang Junshan. Now that we have voluntarily left the Wasteland Town, this spiritual vein will be in the hands of the Yang Family or Heaven Shaking Sect!"
"Hehe, that might not be the case!"
Seeing the puzzled look on Tan Shusheng's face, Huang Hua smiled and said, "When we were leaving Wasteland Town and Wilderness Town, this Daoist Master purposely let a group of beasts enter Wasteland Town. By now, I'm afraid that group of beasts has already discovered that spirit vein!"
Tan Shusheng made a sound of "eh" and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Martial Uncle is wise, one spiritual vein is enough to attract that alien cultivator, and the Yang family will not be able to subdue that spiritual vein. There will definitely be a fierce battle between the two, and no matter who wins, they will lose seven or eight of their own strength, and they will be no match for us. At that time, we will not only get rid of the Yang family, but also weaken the Heaven Shaking Sect.
In the forest, the tiger-girl was standing on top of a huge rock. All around the forest, the shadows of the demonic beasts could be seen, but none of them dared to step up. However, these beasts were also surrounded by her, and none of them dared to retreat.
"We can't go on like this. Let's rush out. These demon beasts might not be able to stop us." Compared to Baobao Yu'er and Lin Chengzhi, Yang Junxin was a lot more aggressive.
"Xin Er, don't be rash. At this time, Xishan Village has definitely received the news that we have been surrounded. Your big brother and second brother will definitely come back to save us." Lin Chengzi had not made any progress in his cultivation for many years, he did not believe that he would be able to kill a demonic beast. Moreover, even if he could break through, he would be a burden to the others and affect them.
At this time, Bao Yu'er also said, "We should still be more careful. With Tigress here, those demon beasts wouldn't dare to advance. If we try to break out, we won't be able to say for sure!"
As a Ghost Clan cultivator, he was not in charge of random battles, so naturally, Bao Yu'er was also not in favor of forcefully breaking out of the encirclement.
Yang Junxin turned to him and asked, "Tigress, why do you think the beasts didn't attack us?"
"I also approve of breaking through the encirclement. Although these monsters fear me, if the person behind them were to forcefully control them, they would still come forward to besiege me. Now that they are surrounded and not attacking, there must be some other scheme."
After saying this, Tigress's voice suddenly became angry, "Damn, if we were in Barren Town, even if we were at the border of Barren Town, I would still be able to attract beasts. At that time, everyone's beast taming skills will be higher and lower!"
"Then we'll break through!"2
Yang Junxin spoke decisively, "This trip to Wasteland Town is only a few dozen kilometers. We can't wait here for our deaths. Besides, my brother will definitely send people to support us."
Lin Chengzi and Bao Yu'er had no choice but to follow her and break out of the encirclement.
Yang Junxin slapped her waist, and a small flying sword flew out of her storage bag and started circling above her head. She then summoned a puppet to protect the weakest Lin Chengzi. She pointed her flying sword forward and shouted, "Charge!"
Saying that, he rushed up to her. Seeing that, the tiger-girl and Bao Yu'er followed right behind Yang Junxin, while Lin Chengxi followed closely behind.
Seeing that Yang Junxin and the rest had decided to break out of the encirclement, the surrounding beasts were in an uproar. However, a strange roar came from the depths of the forest, and the agitated horde immediately calmed down. When they saw Yang Junxin and the others rushing towards them, a fierce look appeared on their faces, and they actually ran into Yang Junxin and the others who were charging towards them.
After Yang Junxin had mastered the Sword Spirit Art and advanced to the second level of the Martial Disciple realm, her strength greatly increased. On top of that, she also had the magic robe that her second brother had lent her.
The horde of beasts saw that the situation had gone awry, so they pounced towards Yang Junxin from both sides. However, the beast on the left spouted out a mouthful of blood as soon as it leapt into the air. Its huge body fell from the sky, dead in an inexplicable manner.
As for the right wing, any demonic beast that dared to challenge the tigress would die under her claws. Even if a Spirit Demon cultivator were to suddenly rush out from among the demonic beasts, it would be hard for the tiger girl to stop him.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them had already gone miles away with a puppet. However, the surrounding demonic beasts were still on their way, continuously rushing towards them. There were even several Spirit Demon cultivators among the beasts, launching surprise attacks on them, but because Yang Junxin's Sword Spirit Art was very sharp, and the tiger demon and Undead Ghost combination of the tiger girl and Bao Yu'er was far stronger than the cultivators of the same cultivation level.
"Something's not right. Along the way, we've killed almost a hundred demon beasts, and we've even killed four or five of them. How come the number of beasts hasn't decreased?"
On the other hand, the fish wrapped in the fish were already drenched in sweat, the number of demon beasts killed by the fish wrapped in the bag was about the same as other people combined, but as a member of the Ghost Clan, this kind of direct confrontation was not something he was used to. At this moment, she could already feel the spirit energy in his body fluctuating, and his strength was almost depleted.
"Cough cough, since I've already chosen to break through, I can't change my mind in the middle of life and death situation. It's best not to have any distractions during a life or death situation!" Lin Chengji's panting voice sounded from behind him.
At this moment, a loud roar shook the entire mountain. Yang Junxin could feel her eardrums hurting, but fear could be seen in the eyes of the tiger-girl. She pulled on Yang Junxin, who was beside her, and shouted, "Hurry, it's a True Demonic cultivator!"
As soon as he finished his words, a hairy palm appeared in the sky above the forest, striking down towards the top of everyone's heads as if it could cover the sky and cover the sun.
"Ahh!" Yang Junxin screamed as she threw a golden purple talisman into the air. There was a loud sound of thunder, and the sky above everyone's heads turned clear. From the forest far away, another angry howl could be heard.
