Chapter 563: Chapter 467: Blitz on Minglong Mountain

Minglong Mountain!

Everyone stared intently at the bright spot on the map, suddenly feeling excited and invigorated.

It is not merely a third-level high-tier spiritual vein; it also represents partial control over Sanshan County.

Minglong Mountain is located in the southern region of Sanshan County, encompassing large areas of land and small spiritual veins. Capturing it would mean directly controlling a quarter of Sanshan County!

"After the two-county battle six years ago, although Sanshan County was victorious, it suffered heavy losses," Lu Qian continued. "Even after years of recuperation, before attacking my Lingsha City, there was only one Golden Core, fourteen Foundation Establishments, and more than a thousand Qi Cultivation elites."

"In this defense of Lingsha City, we slashed eight of the enemy’s Foundation Establishments and destroyed two floating battleships. This means that Sanshan County’s entire strength is reduced to just a severely weakened Master Yeguang, six Foundation Establishments, and over nine hundred Qi Cultivation elites."

"Sanshan County is unprecedentedly weak—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"There’s only one key to this counterattack: speed!"

"The Liyuan Sect still doesn’t know Elder Guh has achieved Golden Core, nor do they expect us to counterattack immediately. We must advance swiftly and capture Minglong Mountain before they can react!"

"As for the two Foundation Establishment Sects and seven or eight Qi Cultivation Minor Sects between Minglong Mountain and Lingsha City," Lu Qian swept his hand across the map, "we will deal with them after capturing Minglong Mountain first."

"But after all, Sanshan County is the enemy’s stronghold, and our presence will quickly be detected and reported, so we must act quickly. There is only one target: Quickly break through and assault Minglong Mountain!"

Yang Jiye was so excited that he slapped his thigh. He had just been struggling in Lingsha City, feeling utterly hopeless and on the brink of losing his life. Only a few hours have passed, and the situation has completely reversed, from defense to offense, to victory. How could he not be thrilled and overjoyed?

Zhuang Hui glared at the map with hatred, silently vowing to avenge Zhuang Qing with the blood of Liyuan Sect cultivators.

At this moment, Guh Nishang suddenly spoke, "Lu Qian, you mean the faster, the better?"

Lu Qian nodded with some surprise; the fiery and violent spiritual pressure on Guh Nishang shot up to the sky!

With a loud boom, the entire divine ship trembled, and Guh Nishang leaped up, hovering in the sky. Her body was enveloped in fierce cyan flames, and even from dozens of feet away, the originally white sails of the divine ship began to scorch yellow.

"Then let me go first; I want to test this Golden Core power!"

Lu Qian was slightly surprised, but then he saw Ye Xiao move in front of him.

"Sect Leader Lu, don’t you have confidence in Fellow Daoist Guh?" she asked with a light smile, "According to your analysis, there are only one or two Foundation Establishments on Minglong Mountain, and a few hundred Qi Cultivators. How could they possibly stop Fellow Daoist Guh? But if you’re still worried, how about letting me go with her?"

Lu Qian was moved at heart. Of course, he had confidence in Guh Nishang, but he had not yet reacted, not fully comprehended this prematurely acquired Golden Core power.

If that’s the case, let’s see what Guh Nishang’s power is now.

"Then Elder Guh will take me along for the first step," Lu Qian rose into the air. "Senior Brother Yang, continue leading the troops toward Minglong Mountain. Handle Yongcui Valley on the way by taking it down, eradicating its leaders, emptying its treasury, and scattering its cultivators! Fairy Ye, please stay on the divine ship to aid us."

Yang Jiye loudly agreed, and Ye Xiao raised her eyebrows, accepting.

Yongcui Valley is one of the two Foundation Establishment Sects between Minglong Mountain and Lingsha City, the other being Wenning Mountain. In fact, this time, Master Yeguang brought four Foundation Establishments from the Liyuan Sect and four from subordinate sects, all of whom perished in battle; Wenning Mountain’s Foundation Establishment was among them too. Now, Wenning Mountain has no Foundation Establishment power left.

However, Yongcui Valley still has one Foundation Establishment. Both Yongcui Valley and Wenning Mountain have second-level spiritual veins and are useful in Lu Qian’s plans; he intends to take them under his control.

Now that the assault plan has been adjusted, let’s eradicate this Foundation Establishment Sect, Yongcui Valley, first, lest they surrender after we occupy Minglong Mountain, making it inconvenient to take further action.

Guh Nishang wasted no time, grabbing Lu Qian’s arm, she broke through the clouds with a burning cyan light and sped towards Minglong Mountain. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The explosive flames shot behind her, propelling her like a shooting star. Although not as fast as Master Cangfeng, it surpassed a typical Golden Core.

The six-hundred-mile journey was traversed in an instant, and the vast, cloud-shrouded Minglong Mountain quickly appeared before the two.

The Mountain Protection Grand Array of Minglong Mountain has already been activated, and the defending troops were rushing to gather, with a mess of Qi Cultivators’ flying spiritual artifacts jumbled together.

It seemed the cultivators on Minglong Mountain had just received word of an enemy attack, but Lu Qian and Guh Nishang moved too quickly.

Perhaps Master Yeguang is also hurrying here!

Without time to think, Lu Qian was pushed away, struggling to stabilize himself, when he saw a blazing azure flame leap fiercely to Minglong Mountain’s third-level spiritual vein, above Dragon Head Peak!

The terrifying and awe-inspiring Golden Core spiritual pressure, the brilliant and bright Golden Core escape light, naturally caught the attention of Minglong Mountain’s defenders, where they had activated the Foundation Establishment-level Six Harmonies Grand Array.

A Golden Core Level Grand Array is truly rare; the Liyuan Sect has only one set at their own mountain gate Yanghua Mountain, usually maintained by Foundation Establishment Array Cultivators. Minglong Mountain’s defense was much weaker.

A Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar within the array urgently shouted, "This is Minglong Mountain, territory of the Liyuan Sect. Our sect’s Master Yeguang is about to arrive, swiftly retreat, and you shall remain unharmed!"
