In the fifth year of Qianyou's reign, on the twenty-eighth day of the seventh month, the demon sect launched an attack and Qishan was robbed.

On July 30, Duan Chong arrived.

On the third day of August, Cao Xin and his master Ning Shuhua rushed to Qishan.

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, the god fled, and Cao Xin began to explore the cliff.

On the ninth day of August, in the evening, Cao Xinfei wrote to Hezu Cave.

In the early morning of the tenth day of August, Cao Xin obtained five volumes of secret books and slandered the Fushan Sect.

On the same day, in the evening, Cao Xin climbed to Siguo Cliff again and gave the antidote, and the battle at Si Guo Cliff broke out.

From the evening of that day to the whole day of the next day, Qishan continued to fight.

Another day.

August 12.

A disaster, turned over and over again, finally came to an end.

That morning, Cao Xiner climbed Qishan Mountain and met up with Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua.

From them, Cao Xin obtained detailed battle reports of the Battle of Qishan.

…

This battle.

Neither Qishan nor the Demon Sect is a winner, both can be said to have suffered a devastating disaster.

On the Demon Cult side——

Two envoys, four protectors, ten elders, and sixteen scattered people gathered in Qishan, a total of twenty-six people. Only fourteen of them escaped down the mountain alive, and twelve people, nearly half, were killed.

Most of the remaining ones are also being tracked and hunted down by the Righteous Path.

Down there, ordinary disciples, masters, and leaders from all walks of life suffered more than 300 casualties.

Everyone in the Demon Sect fled in all directions, panicking and losing their way, and many of them got lost in the jungles of Qishan Mountain.

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

The real number of casualties may exceed 400, and the number of vassals from all walks of life is difficult to count.

As for the side of Qishan——

The most representative senior leaders and masters of the East and West sects can be summarized as follows: the five elders of the East sect, the ten heroes of the West sect, the ten elders of the Sword Qi Hall, the Seventeen Flying Immortals, and the Thirty-three Swordsmen.

After this battle——

Three of the five elders of Dongzong died in the battle.

Only four of the ten outstanding figures of Xizong remain.

Out of the ten elders of Jianqi Hall, three out of ten.

There are ten remaining among the seventeen flying immortals.

There are still eighteen people left among the thirty-three swordsmen.

The Demon Cult made a surprise attack and Qishan was humiliated.

Therefore, in this battle, the Qishan disciples all fought for their lives and charged forward, resulting in the heaviest casualties, which was shocking.

Not just experts.

The casualties among ordinary disciples and handymen were also considerable.

The demon sect was so frantic that they buried gunpowder all over Qishan, lit fuses before leaving, and bombed indiscriminately, blowing up many buildings and burying too many Qishan disciples, including some Qishan masters, and many of them were killed unexpectedly. of.

After this battle, Qishan's muscles and bones were bruised and all his heritage was lost.

It may be difficult to recover in the next few decades.

What makes matters worse is——

"Everyone in the Xizong, led by Xue Ren, was so ashamed in this battle that they descended the mountain one after another and vowed not to return to the mountain until they killed all the remaining members of the Demon Sect."

"As soon as they leave, half of the remaining Qishan troops will be gone."

Ning Shuhua introduced the current situation in Qishan to Cao Xin, with sadness on her face.

No one would have thought that more than ten days ago, the Qishan sect was still at its peak, even if the Eastern and Western sects were fighting internally. The Qishan sect, which can be said to be full of talents, would die and leave in just half a month. Now count them in detail. , there are less than twenty first-class masters in such a large Qishan sect!

And of these twenty people, only half are actually permanently stationed in Qishan.

The other half were scattered around, getting married and starting businesses. They returned to Qishan because of the great competition in Qishan and the conflict between the two sects. They participated in the battle, watched the ceremony, and had to go back afterwards.

For example, Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua.

Of course, it is impossible for all Qishan masters to sit on the mountain and live in vain. Most of the masters in Qishan sect came down early after becoming famous.

There are those who cannot bear the poverty in the mountains and are greedy for the prosperity of the world.

There are also those who just want to return to their hometown in glory and protect their hometown, such as Wei Feifei and Wei Baoju. If they go all the way to join the Qishan sect, they will definitely return to Weijiapu after they have accomplished their studies.

There are also some people who are in charge of operating various industries in Qishan.

Or it may be those disciples supported by Qishan who are determined to make contributions.

In short.

Qishan masters were originally scattered in all aspects, and on weekdays, at most one-fifth stayed in Qishan. If you add in those who like to travel around the world, the number is even smaller.

But this time, the Qishan Grand Competition, the competition between the East and West sects, related to the ownership of the orthodox orthodoxy, coupled with the rumors of the 'Nine Death Magic' and the 'Ancestor of the Three Generations', caused the masters who were away to rush back as soon as they received the news.

For example, Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua were expelled from Qishan, but after learning that Qishan was in trouble and Qishan was in trouble, they still made the decisive decision and rushed to Qishan.

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you!

This is the embodiment of Qishan’s strength, heritage and comprehensive influence.

Masters gather together, stars shine brightly.

Even if the two sects are in internal strife and fighting, this is a great opportunity to show Qishan's muscles.

result.

When they gathered together, they were almost beaten by the Demon Cult.

Hundreds of years of foundation will be lost in one day!

Looking at the dilapidated and desolate appearance of Qishan Mountain, not to mention our own disciples, but also the other six sects of the Seven Mountains Sword Sect, including the various sects we have good relations with, who would not feel sad after seeing this?

…

"well!"

When Cao Xin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Now he finally knew how big a blow Qishan had suffered this time.

Without enough experts in charge, the various industries outside the Qishan Sect will have to shrink and shrink again, and then their income will inevitably drop sharply and drop sharply again.

The annual income of money is low, and the cultivation of masters, the cultivation of disciples, and the discovery of talents are all subject to restrictions.

One link after another.

This is a vicious cycle!

It is foreseeable that the Qishan Sect will decline year by year in the future until it hits rock bottom.

After silence and precipitation.

Perhaps it will take more than ten years, or even decades, before there is an opportunity to bottom out and rise again.

Even more.

If things don't go well, there's no telling what mishaps may have happened in the middle and whether they'll be able to recover from the fall.

Time is the most ruthless.

Things are the most unpredictable in the world.

There are many such examples throughout the ages.

No one knows what will happen to Qishan in the future.

…

"There are many masters from various sects who failed in Qishan this time, and they have some complaints in their hearts. Fortunately, I, Qishan, took out three secrets on the cliff and gave everyone a chance of survival. In addition, we later fought against the Demon Sect.

It’s me, Qishan, who is at the front of the battle, and all the sects and sects are watching, so we won’t have any grudges, but we are still owed favors, and it’s hard to say how we will get along with each other in the future.”

Ning Shuhua continued.

When Cao Xin heard this, he asked out of curiosity: "I was lost in the lake. Masters from various sects were imprisoned at Siguo Cliff. The Demon Sect guarded Siguo Cliff. How did they escape?"

"It is said that a mysterious master who calls himself 'Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand' and is named 'Cheng Kun' sneaked into Siguo Cliff somehow. This man asked Qishan Fushan for his secret knowledge, and I, Qishan, gave it to me. The Fushan sect acted dishonestly.
