At the beginning of the 660,626th year of the Xuanhuang Calendar, several sects and family forces, headed by Danxian Sect, Jialan Sect, Lingbao Sect, Yuling Sect, etc., officially announced the conclusion of an alliance with Bailian Sect and released

All prohibitions.

In August of the same year, after many months of preparations, Lingbao Sect transferred a large number of reinforcements to Renshan and prepared for a large-scale all-out counterattack.

Another war is approaching and the situation is becoming increasingly tense.

On this day, there was a continuous drizzle, and the cold wind filled the sky and earth with moist water droplets. Everything inside and outside the Xu Valley, hundreds of miles in radius, was shrouded in a mist.

In the open space outside the valley, groups of corpse soldiers and puppets lined up, rehearsing military formations, and slowly came.

The vast momentum and overwhelming pressure are like sharp blades, forcing people to feel chills.

"Many, at least 300,000 troops are attacking from the front!"

Seeing those ragged bodies crowding each other, like a rising tide, groups of monks above the foundation level flew above their heads to form escorts. There was a vague aura of pill forming surrounding the battlefield, and they attacked the formation. The monks from the Lingbao Sect watched the formation.

He couldn't help but trembled and shivered.

Unknowingly, the scale of the battle on Renshan's side became larger and larger. In the past, if there were tens of thousands, it could be called a big war, but now, even hundreds of thousands of troops can be mobilized.

"There are many newly-refined corpse soldiers here, and there are also those corpse puppets. They are obviously made from casual cultivators who died in battle. They are beating them here and there. Unless they are shattered to pieces, there will never be peace!"

"Isn't it the same here? This abominable Corpse Soul Sect pleases both sides and makes a lot of money."

During the discussion, the army marched in despite the rain, and finally approached the area covered by the mountain gate formation.

I saw a huge light curtain between the sky and the earth, and a huge formation enveloped the entire Xu Valley from all directions. No one in the sky or on the earth was left out.

However, the consumption of vitality in such a large formation is extremely terrifying. Injecting vitality into a radius of dozens of miles is not easy to form a tight enough protection. After all, this layer of light curtain is only used for warning and interference.

After the soldiers and puppets forcibly attacked for a while, there were ripples like water waves, and the vitality around them was extremely chaotic.

The attacker rushed in without hesitation, like a fish swimming in water, and began to move towards the center.

At this moment, the corpse soldiers of the Lingbao Sect on the defensive side also attacked. They were driven by others and poured out from the wasteland in the valley.

The two sides engaged in battle, their weapons clashed, and they fought close to each other.

From time to time, some nimble monks could be seen mixed in. They saw the opportunity to hunt down lone enemies, or cooperated with the group to directly take down the leader.

More often, they move in small groups, looking for opportunities to penetrate deep into the enemy's position and make achievements in small teams.

Wang Shi., the newly appointed expedition manager of the Qi Zong Dharma Protector Hall, also participated in this battle. The difference from the past is that now he is no longer an insignificant casual cultivator, but a serious member and grassroots leader of the Qi Zong.

There are already more than twenty direct subordinates under his command, all members of the Shadow Guard who have been transplanted with fake elixirs and wear divine armor.

Four of them, even top experts with half-step pill-forming abilities, can compete with ordinary early-stage pill-forming practitioners.

Wang Shi personally led the men and followed the brigade into a crack on the east side of the valley, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

He saw several young monks in luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament among the crowd, controlling flying swords to kill enemies.

He could tell at a glance that these people were disciples of wealthy families.

Judging from past experience, they have mysterious skills, well-equipped equipment, and possess all kinds of trump cards for self-defense and life-saving. They are the most troublesome existence in the same realm. Even if one's own side has the advantage in numbers, one should not easily provoke them.

However, Wang Shi had been in the Dharma Protector Hall for a while and had a certain understanding of his own progress and the strength of his subordinates. When he saw this, he decisively gave the order and took the initiative to kill them.

When Wang Shi and others approached, several disciples of the aristocratic family had already reacted, and immediately turned their swords around vigilantly and fired quickly.

But Wang Shi just had a thought, and he quickly dodged to avoid the attack, and stabbed back with his sword.

Between the lightning and flint, several swords were fired in unison, and the sword light enveloped the opponent from different directions.

After a flurry of parrying, a disciple from an aristocratic family was accidentally stabbed and his body froze.

Immediately, more sword light shrouded him, piercing terrifying bloody holes on his body.

Some disciples wanted to save him, but they were stopped by the flying divine light and sharp edges, and the flying torrent roared towards him.

Boom! Amidst the thundering sound, several people were swept out by the tyrannical magic power and flew out uncontrollably.

But it turned out that Wang Shi and the Shadow Guard masters had unleashed the power of fake elixirs.

Although the fake elixir in their bodies is far inferior to the real elixir, and the magic power contained in them is also turbid, it is still real magic power after all, and its intensity is far from comparable to the foundation-building magic weapon.

With this power, everyone rushed forward one after another, raising their swords and constantly harvesting the enemy's lives.

Similar things happened one after another in different corners of the battlefield. The two sides relied on the skills, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, and magic formations at hand to come and go. They kept fighting, and the casualties continued to increase.

The people of Lingbao Sect were puzzled and even slightly horrified to find that most of the ordinary and unremarkable casual cultivators and low-level disciples of Bailian Sect were actually enough to compete with their own elite disciples. Some individuals,

Even comparable to a genius disciple or a late-stage master.

Thanks to the help of the Qi Sect's magic weapon, their strength has increased to a level that is usually unimaginable. It seems that each of them has improved by more than one or two levels.

Regardless of whether they are newly promoted in the early stage or old and frail, each has strength comparable to that of a mid- to late-stage monk.

The monks recruited by both sides, the battle formations, the cost of distribution, and various conditions are all roughly the same. If there is anything that is truly different, it is undoubtedly the magic weapon used. There is no doubt about this.

It is naturally impossible for Bailian Sect members to purchase Lingbao Sect magic weapons on a large scale, and for use in this war, Lingbao Sect members will also distribute their own magic weapons and will not use items from the Weapon Sect.

But on this occasion, Qi Zong's performance was almost complete.

The result is that even the elites of aristocratic families are comparable in strength to the main force of the Bailian Sect, and only the geniuses can compete with the elites.

If Lingbao Sect had many talented masters, things would be much simpler, but geniuses are not so easy to come out. Picking one out of ten or one out of a hundred is already good, and there are times when geniuses stumble. Once damaged, the family behind them will also suffer.

The price of shock is not small.

There are a lot of ordinary disciples and casual cultivators, and the sect can easily bear the price of death. However, the cultivation and skills of these people are far inferior to their opponents. If we really rely on them, we will only suffer a complete defeat.

Moreover, the magic weapons of the Lingbao Sect are mostly sophisticated and expensive, and they cannot be as popular as the magic weapons of the Qi Sect.

After all, Qi Zong used high-quality and low-priced ordinary magic weapons to arm ordinary monks in large numbers. High-end magic weapons were also introduced and further improved, so that the overall strength of the monks in battle was greatly improved.

"What's going on? The strength of our monks is actually inferior to others? This is impossible, their cultivation levels are obviously similar..."

"Could it be that the magic weapons of the Lingbao Sect are really not as good as those of the Qi Sect?"

Many people are shocked by this obvious fact.

…

"Fellow Taoists, look, this is the magic weapon of the Qi Sect that we captured."

After the fierce battle, the two sides took a break. Except for some patrol guards and spy teams who were still active, most of Renshanyuan returned to peace.

But in Xu Valley, the masters of Lingbao Sect and the elders who guarded the mansion were all gathered together.

In front of them, there were a sword, an armor, and a pill respectively. Although each was slightly damaged and stained with blood, they all exuded precious energy and obviously still had intact structures.

The people of Lingbao Sect are not deaf or blind. Over the past few years, the situation in Renshan has deteriorated, and they also know how to reflect on their failures and find the root cause.

These things are the clues they use to find the root cause of failure.

"You must have heard their name for a long time, and some of you have learned about them in depth, but as far as we know, they have been improved and upgraded many times and have become completely different from the past!"

"This sword is a new pseudo-spiritual treasure introduced by the Qi Sect in the past hundred years. We know very little about it. Apart from the Tianyan prohibition, legal rules, etc., we don't know much about anything else."

"But many examples on the battlefield have shown that they really have the virtual intelligence claimed by Qi Zong and can obey their will and operate automatically. This makes all Qi Zong magic products have certain spiritual treasure characteristics. However, the refining cost

The improvement is not big, but it has great advantages in the field of mid-to-low-end magic weapons!"

"Look at this again. It is the divine armor that has been touted as magical. It was created by Grandmaster Li Wan, the founder of the Qi Sect. It is not an ordinary treasure armor, but an enhanced divine armor that has the dual functions of armor and auxiliary treasure.

It is similar to the art of armor fusion in our sect."

"When a person with early cultivation level wears this armor, it is comparable to the middle level cultivation level. When a middle level cultivation person wears this armor, it is comparable to the later level cultivation level. The improvement is not small. I even heard that there are even more magical high-level gods.

A, can enable monks to break through the realm."

"Then there is this fake elixir, which has been released to the fourth generation. After identification, what we see now is a low-grade turbid elixir used to be implanted into the bodies of dead soldiers in the middle stage of foundation establishment. This type of turbid elixir,

It can provide about half the mana power of low-grade low-grade true elixirs. Although it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of elixir-forming masters, to foundation-building monks, it is no different from divine power!"

"Therefore, we believe that this fake spirit treasure, imperial armor, and fake elixir, like the previous war beasts, firearms, sword of the sky, etc., have become a huge threat that our sect has to face. Due to other

There are ways to deal with it for the time being, but we need to pay more attention to these things now."
