Chapter 516: Chapter 448: Like Fire, the Invasion Advances

Why is it Hidden Dragon Stream?

Moreover, it’s a divided attack, one route towards Lingsha City, another towards Hidden Dragon Stream.

Xuanguang Sect only has one Golden Core cultivator, five Foundation Establishment cultivators, and about 470 Qi Cultivation elite. Additionally, the subordinate Kong Family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators and 50-60 family elites, plus recently recruited 200-300 Qi Cultivation loose cultivators.

In total, one Golden Core cultivator, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, and over 800 Qi Cultivation elite.

With such force, even if attacking Hidden Dragon Stream completely, it’s impossible to defeat Mingyu Sword Sect.

Besides, Master Fengfeng himself went to Hidden Dragon Stream, sending several Foundation Establishment cultivators to attack Lingsha City, how could they be their opponent!

Master Fengfeng, even in madness, wouldn’t seek his own demise!

Unless, he has the assurance to contend against Mingyu Sword Sect, and also prevail over Shuangye Alliance!

Relying only on current forces is impossible, so——

Various thoughts flashed like lightning, Lu Qian had already leaped up, shouting loudly.

"Order, Golden Dawn Peak and Liuhua Valley, immediately execute emergency plan, entire force retreat to Lingsha City!"

"Lingsha City enters highest alert state, all elites in battle sequence assemble, Divine Ship patrol the skies!"

"Activate all 300-mile alert points, concentrate all intelligence forces to the four sides of Lingsha City, report any forces approaching the territory immediately!"

"Shuangye Alliance high-level gather in the main hall."

"Immediately use Illusory Sound Treasure Conch to transmit to Master Cangfeng, convey the situation."

"Quickly request Shen Jialuo to convey the situation to Huanggen Sect."

...

In the continuous loud horn sounds, one communication disciple after another ran frantically, various escape lights brightening across Lingsha City.

Yushan Disciples and Shuangye Alliance cultivators dropped their tasks, faces full of tension, but fortunately Lu Qian had already devised a comprehensive emergency plan, various levels of emergency drills had been conducted several times, so everyone acted according to the plan despite the panic.

On the square’s pavement bricks in Lingsha City, numbers were already carved, each number demarcating an area.

Jia One, Jia Two, Jia Three...Jia Ten; Yi One, Yi Two.....Yi Ten; Bing One...

From Jia to Ji, from One to Ten, a total of sixty numbers, representing sixty teams, each team with ten cultivators.

The cultivators in the battle sequence assembled in the square, quickly forming into teams according to their numbers.

Though currently set with sixty teams, numbering 600 elites, Shuangye Alliance did not actually have this many.

Shuangye Alliance currently has 380 cultivators at mid-stage Qi Cultivation and above, but nearly fifty are technical talents specializing in Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, not to be wasted on the battlefield, so only 330 are in the battle sequence.

And these 330 must also exclude those dispersed in intelligence groups in counties, and those responsible for the 300-mile alert points at Golden Dawn Peak and Lingsha City, squad leaders and coordinators, only 280 serve as ready troops.

Namely, from Jia One to Bing Eight, twenty-eight full teams. Among them, from Jia One to Yi Three, thirteen teams, 130 Qi Cultivation elite, entirely composed of Yunshan Sect Inner Sect disciples, other teams are mixed with Yunshan Sect Outer Disciples and Shuangye Alliance cultivators.

Additionally, twelve teams are stationed at Golden Dawn Peak and Liuhua Valley, currently only sixteen teams are in Lingsha City.

So after hectic and hurried assembly, many spots in the square remained empty, only sixteen teams were in formation, names called loudly by the captains as they set out.

"Jia One, all members, Su Yan, Li Da, Wang Ruoyu..." Captain Zheng Duan called out names loudly, extremely serious but inwardly tense and uneasy.

As emphasized many times by the Sect Leader, this time is Xuanguang Sect’s full-scale attack.

Facing Golden Core might, facing chaotic bloody battlefields, who dares to boast self-preservation?

Hope Mingyu Sword Sect’s Master Cangfeng comes to aid quickly.

Let alone in my team, there are quite a few golden beads!

Thankfully, the Sect Leader had adjusted the battle teams earlier, removing Junior Martial Uncle Jiang Baitao from my team. Due to her special status, fearing capture on the battlefield, also fearing her presence may lead to team members vying to protect her, causing disruption.

Actually, Lu Qian had always trained Jiang Baitao on the frontline, never making special exceptions. Yet this battle is more perilous than past experiences, especially after team formation, Baitao would not fit in any team.

Lu Qian had to ignore her opposition and remove her from the team. Perhaps only when she advances to late-stage Qi Cultivation, suitable to serve as captain, more fitting for battle.

So now Zheng Duan truly breathed a sigh of relief, if Junior Martial Uncle were in the team, being captain would be much harder.

He quickly finished calling names, thought a moment, added: "Appoint Inner Sect Yi-Class Disciple Su Yan as vice-captain. If I die, Su Yan will take over command."

Upon hearing this, team members stood solemnly, a sense of dread enveloped them, heartbeats accelerated, breaths became rapid.

Life and death battle, right before us!

...

Captain Fanx Shang of Jia Two finished calling names, suddenly noticed Jia Four team was chaotic, members forming a mix, glancing at each other, clueless gestures, and shouted: "Where’s your captain?"

A cultivator said with a saddened face: "Senior Brother Fanx, our Captain Xiao hasn’t come yet!"
