291: Chapter 291 Qishan Sect
Three days later, more than five thousand Cultivators gathered outside the Immortal Cave.
Among them were nearly forty Purple Palace Cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
This combat power was enough to wipe out many Golden Core factions.
" Everyone, it seems no one else is coming. Shall we first consider breaking the Formation and then seize the treasures separately? " A Late Stage Purple Palace Cultivator from the Rogue Cultivators Alliance stepped forward and said to the crowd.
People like the Pill Hall, Nightfall, and the Five Sects agreed with the other party's proposal.
Even the Purple Palace Cultivators from the Tianli Sect had no objections.
After all, this was not Tianli City, and the Tianli Sect's influence here was greatly reduced.
However, they had also gathered eight Purple Palace Cultivators—three from the Tianli Sect, and the other five from Purple Mansion factions under Tianli City's jurisdiction.
As for the Rogue Cultivators Alliance, only seven people came this time; the Five Sects sent six, the Pill Hall sent three, and Nightfall sent four.
The remaining nearly ten Purple Palace Cultivators came from various other sides; some were Loose Cultivators, and some were from a certain Purple Mansion faction in Heiyuan Valley.
" Since everyone thinks what I said makes sense, my Rogue Cultivators Alliance is willing to step forward first to break this Formation together. Of course, if anyone among you is unwilling to contribute effort, please leave quickly.
Otherwise, if you still want to follow us to search for treasures, you had better first see if you have the strength to bear our wrath. " The White-haired Elder continued.
Hearing this, the crowd felt displeased.
Most of them were Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators; how could they contribute any effort against such a Tier 4 Formation?
As a result, this old man actually refused to let them explore the Immortal Cave together; this was simply too overbearing.
" Hmph! " The White-haired Elder gave a cold snort, then turned around to discuss countermeasures with those Purple Palace Cultivators to assist in breaking the Formation.
Hiding behind the numerous Cultivators, Chen Changqing and his companion waited quietly. In this situation, the more anxious one was, the more things would be ruined; they could only wait until the timing was ripe before making a move.
About an hour later, those Purple Palace Cultivators stopped talking, presumably having discussed and reached a result.
" This Formation has reached Tier 4 Low Grade. If we Purple Palace Cultivators make a forced move, it is not impossible to break the Formation. It's just that there are too many low-level Cultivators gathered below; who knows if they will join hands to ruin things. " One of the Purple Palace Cultivators said.
" Since that is the case, my Sect happens to have a Tier 4 Formation. This Tier 4 Formation can mobilize the mana of all Cultivators; why don't we let these Cultivators at the bottom make a move? " An Elder of the Tianli Sect said.
" The Litian Combined Attack Formation of your Tianli Sect? This method is indeed feasible. " Quite a few people chimed in.
" However, we must be quick. If Chu Country and Zhao Country get the news and also send people over, it will be troublesome. "
" Mmm. "
A few more days passed, and the Tianli Sect's Tier 4 Formation was brought over.
During this period, over a thousand more Cultivators and several Purple Palace Cultivators were added.
A few Foundation Establishment Cultivators stepped forward to investigate, only to be instantly obliterated by the Tier 4 Formation.
Those Purple Palace Cultivators watched indifferently. To them, those few people were merely ants, and dying was just dying.
When the Tianli Sect completely finished setting up the Formation, breaking the Formation finally began.
Quite a few Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators felt somewhat indignant that these Purple Palace Cultivators treated them as free labor, but they dared not say anything.
Fortunately, inside the Immortal Cave, there were not only rare treasures, but also other treasures.
As for how they knew, it was naturally told by those Purple Palace Cultivators.
After all, if there were only such a single rare treasure, these Purple Palace Cultivators would have long since started slaughtering each other and would not be waiting quietly like this.
As for what was inside the Immortal Cave, it seemed to be a destroyed Sect hidden here. This Sect was named the Qishan Sect. According to those Purple Palace Cultivators, during its Peak, this Sect was a faction that possessed three Golden Core Masters.
This Sect was also one of the factions that once dominated the entire Heiyuan Valley back then, existing several thousand years earlier than the Four Major Factions such as the Rogue Cultivators Alliance. It was just that in the end, it was unknown who they offended, and people slaughtered their way up the mountain, ultimately causing the entire mountain to completely disappear from Heiyuan Valley.
Yet no one expected that this Qishan Sect actually hid its mountain gate here.
Although when this Sect was destroyed, the entire Sect only had one Golden Core Master, under their accumulation of several thousand years, the resources inside were definitely not few.
Perhaps the vast majority of these thousands of Cultivators would not obtain any resources, but who would think that they themselves would be the ones not to get any?
" It can begin. Fellow young friends, just relax; the Formation will naturally extract your mana. "
As a voice fell, before all the low-level Cultivators could react, their mana was extracted.
Boom!
Bang!
Once the Formation extracted enough mana, it would automatically launch an attack.
Thousands of low-level Cultivators had now become the tools for these Purple Palace Cultivators to break the Formation.
These Cultivators all harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts, yet they dared not do anything.
Boom!
As the Formation extracted mana once again, the attack began anew.
Boom, boom, boom!
After dozens of consecutive bombardments, the light of that Formation had begun to dim, and these low-level Cultivators had also consumed quite a bit of mana.
The lesser consumed one or two percent, while the greater had already consumed thirty to forty percent.
Many Cultivators hurriedly took out Medicinal Pills to recover their mana. After the Formation was broken later, there would still be hard battles to fight, and they had to ensure that they were in Peak condition at all times.
" A few more times, and the Formation should be broken. " Chen Changqing said to Li Qingling beside him.
The two of them were impressively also in the ranks of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but by comparison, the two of them did not have much mana absorbed.
Or rather, this bit of mana was negligible to them.
Following the last extraction of mana to bombard the Formation, the Formation was also completely shattered at this moment.
Seeing this, those Purple Palace Cultivators did not dare to step forward directly, instead releasing Spirit Beasts or Puppets to scout the path.
After confirming that everything was safe, they ignored the low-level Cultivators behind them and entered the Immortal Cave directly.
Until these high-level Cultivators left, and the Disciples and clansmen of these factions also entered, these low-level Cultivators dared to follow behind.
Chen Changqing and Li Qingling also followed behind the large army and entered together.
The two quickly crossed the cave entrance and arrived at the opposite side.
The opposite side of the cave entrance was like another world; the entire underground had been completely hollowed out, and only the mountain gate of that Qishan Sect existed here.
The Cultivators who entered together each went their own way; the Foundation Establishment Cultivators targeted those continuous mountain ranges, while some locked their eyes on the medicine garden.
As for the Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, they looked toward the places at the foot of the mountain where Spirit Medicine might exist.
Chen Changqing and Li Qingling exchanged glances, and the two headed toward the direction of one of the mountain ranges.
Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine like those at the foot of the mountain mostly had low ages and were relatively scattered, making collection quite difficult.
It was better to head directly to those Peaks; perhaps the Sect treasury of the Qishan Sect was over there.
The two of them chose the nearest mountain range, and quite a few Cultivators made the same choice as them.
As for those Purple Palace Cultivators, they had long since headed toward the largest mountain range.
There, if the two of them guessed correctly, it was highly likely to be the ancestral mountain of the Qishan Sect.
