Chapter 681 – Siege
No one would have thought that a small pond far away from the Yu Cheng and the source of Tai Xuan Swamp that was formed thousands of miles away would both be at the same water vein, and the source of spirit water that was formed by this water vein was the greatest reliance of the Demon King Tai Ze.
This was a middle grade Source Water Pulse, and it was possible to condense one drop of Source Water every two months or so. And a drop of Source Water like this, to a cultivator, was equivalent treasured pellet specially used to assist in their cultivation. Back when Yang Junshan had advanced his Profound Constellation Realm, the forty-nine drops of Source Water he had found in the Tai Xuan Swamp had become a great boost.
The main reason why the Demon King Taize escaped to this place after being surrounded and annihilated by the Tai Xuan Swamp was not only because he deliberately moved the source of the water along the stream into this small pond, but also because he wanted to monopolize the source of the water and keep it hidden from outsiders.
If it was a low rank origin water vein, then it would normally be able to condense a drop of origin water in three months, or a mid rank origin water vein, and a single drop in two months. The upper rank origin water would be able to shorten the time it took to condense source water to a month, and the reason why Demon King Taize was able to step into the Heavenly Dipper Realm in a short few decades, other than the bloodline of the Cyan Flood Dragon, the most important reason was the support of this origin water vein.
The only pity was that the cultivators who trained in fire attribute techniques had complete control over it. The fire valley’s foundation was built on an underground magma river, so no matter how precious this water vein was, it was impossible to move it into the fire valley.
Following the ground’s vibrations, this slender yet extremely long stream of water was attracted by the combined might of Yang Junshan and the Yang Tiangang who was already prepared on the western mountain. Watching this stream of water gradually sink into the ground and begin to swim toward the direction of the Western Mountain of Mengyu County along with the power of the formation, a hint of joy emerged on Yang Junshan’s and Yang Junshan’s face.
As the largest city in the Yuzhou, the area under the jurisdiction of the Yu Cheng and its surroundings was approximately the size of two ordinary counties. The commotion caused by the great battle between Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns was known to all the forces in the area within a short period of time, and the news of the Tai Ze Demon King being killed by the fire valley and the Western Mountain Madame Yang was spread throughout the entire cultivation world of the Yuzhou within a few days.
Furthermore, the death of the Demonic Lord Taize seemed to have become the bane of the various sects working together to annihilate and expel the surrounding Alien Cultivator. After Yang Junshan and Adept Qiyang took the lead, the various factions sent their cultivators into the surrounding areas of the Yu Cheng, to clear out the foreign forces in the middle of the region.
Before the operation had begun, a portion of the Alien Cultivator s with keen sense of smell had already evacuated before the event had begun. After that, the death of Demon King Taize had caused many of the higher level Alien Cultivatoo feel a sense of crisis, and by the time the various sects had launched their large-scale operation, the resistance they had encountered had lessened greatly, which was basically in accordance with the expectations of the various sects. In short, it was enough to control the central region of the Yuzhou in the hands of the human race.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrom the death of Demon King Taize to the annihilation of the external forces surrounding the Yu Cheng, the amount of time spent doing so had not even exceeded two months. However, the various sects did not immediately withdraw from the Yu Cheng’s surroundings.
At the same time, the array masters under the command of various sects started heading towards Heaven-Shaking Peak. Amongst these array masters, there were even many who came from outside the Yuzhou, wanting to break through the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s forbidden array to train their array skills.
However, because more than half of the Yu Cheng and the secret passage to and from the peak of the Heaven-Shaking Peak were controlled by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, the formation masters that came from all over the place could only gather under the Heaven-Shaking Peak to study the complete forbidden array, they were unable to enter the formation to see where the flaw was.
Although the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign leading it and had even caused the famous Zhuge Family of the Yuzhou to lose face, but under the pressure of the various factions of the Yu Cheng, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance Master, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai, was still unmoved. He did not agree for the various sects’ array masters to use the secret tunnel to head to the top of the mountain.
As time passed, the number of formation masters that arrived at the vicinity of Yu Cheng increased, including many formation masters that had been famous in the cultivation world of Yuzhou for a long time, and even some people that had seen Zhuge Wuqing and Zhuge Wuyu, the two formation masters that only existed in the Zhuge family, as well as the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Adept Zhu’s several Successor Disciples that had arrived near the Yu Cheng in the past few days. However, their whereabouts have long been noticed by others, and I also heard that the newly promoted formation master of Yuxiao Sect, Grandmaster Chi Xiao, had also arrived.
The accepted four of the five formation masters in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world had already gathered, and the only one who had yet to arrive was Spiritual Master Yang Junshan, of the Western Mountain’s Madame Yang. It seemed that he had truly disappeared withourace during this period of time.
Inside the Yu Cheng, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai frowned and asked: “What, that Xiao Yang man refused our promise to explore the Heaven-Shaking Peak together?”
Adept Qing Feng shook his head, and said: “Alliance Master please calm your anger, this subordinate was just unable to find him. I believe that afteeriod of time, he will definitely come to help us once he sees the contents of this subordinate’s letter.”
Spiritual Master Lin Canghai frowned and nodded, “Alright, then, this old man will wait for him here for a day. I’m afraid even this Adept won’t be able to control the situation. ”
However, the Adept Qing Feng said: “In fact, Alliance Master, you actually managed to resist all the attempts to reach the top of Heaven-Shaking Peak through the secret passage by yourself. This is already enough to shock this subordinate.”
Lin Canghai laughed but did not say anything, everyone knew that the secret room at the top of the mountain was the only flaw to the’s forbidden array, he had to bear the pressure of the various sects and did not let them go, he merely wanted to wait for Yang Junshan to take the initiative, but unknowingly, his reputation had increased because of the various sects’ pressure.
Of course, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai was not the kind of person who only relied on his rashness. The only reason he dared to endure all of the criticism and pressure from everyone was because he still had a great existence backing him, and he was not worried that all the sects would criticize him in the future.
And at this time, Yang Junshan, who was being called out by others, had already been standing at the outskirts of the Tuo Wu Shan, meeting up with Yang Junxiu and Bao Yuer.
Receiving an invitation from Yang Junxiu’s hands, Yang Junshan asked with a smile: “Where did you get the unnecessary invitation?”
Yang Junxiu laughed: “Brother, that piece of paper is old bear, now that the three of us have joined together and with Little Black joining us, it has already occupied half of the entire Huyao County. Little Black has only joined and did not receive the invitation, while Old Bear still needs to take charge of his own newly established powers, so in the end, it can only be the two of us.”
Bao Yuer continued: “The invitation card is nothing, but what I find strange is, how do you plan to head to Tuo Wu Shan next? You can’t possibly reveal your identity auman cultivator, right? What does that have to do with courting death? ”
Yang Junshan laughed, only to see that he had suddenly draped a piece of clothes over his body. The clothes looked a little strange, as though it was a lot thicker, more likerson who had lived in the extreme north ice plains for a long time, and there were too many accessories on the clothes. When Yang Junshan was walking normally, the accessories would collide with each other, creating a series of “ding ding-ding-dong” sounds.
As the True Essence circulated in Yang Junshan’s body, a strange undulation suddenly appeared from the surface of his clothes, causing the Qi around Yang Junshan’s body to become a mess. If the two did not know that the person in front of them was Yang Junshan, they would not have thought that the person in front of them was him.
Bao Yuer was slightly disappointed, she said: “From your Qi, I am unable to determine that you aruman cultivator, but it seems that I am still unable to determine which race in the Foreign Lands you are from.”
Yang Junshan laughed: “As long as everyone who sees me cannot see clearly enough, when the time comes, do you think there will be less people hiding in the shadows? Why pretend to be cultivators from other alien races?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBao Yuer thought for a moment, then said: “That’s true!”
When Bao Yuer asked him about it, Yang Junxiu had already walked around him twice, and had been looking at that strange set of clothes that was draped on Yang Junshan’s body the entire time.
“How did you do it? Could it be that a cloak was made for you by Sang Shener?”
Yang Junshan reached out to take off the thick and heavy clothes on his body, then said: “This is not a Dharma Cloak, but a Diagram Array!”
“Diagram Array?” Yang Junxiu and Bao Yuer’s faces were filled with surprise and bewilderment.
Yang Junshan nodded his head and confirmed: “Of course it’s a Diagram Array, otherwise, why do you think there are so many things embedded in the clothes? These jades, crystals, sculpted smiley faces and so on, are all embedded into the clothes, but in reality, it’s just to maintain the operation of the Diagram Array.
After speaking, Yang Junshan seemed to have thought of something, and threw a horn to Yang Junxiu: “Although you have a Heavy Profound Blade, your life demon spirit artifact still hasn’t been refined even now. Why don’t you try adding this horn?
Yang Junxiu’s eyes lit up, and said: “This is the Demon King Taize’s single horn, right?”
Yang Junshan laughed: “Looks like the news of us joining hands to kill Demon King Taize has already spread across the entire cultivation world of Yuzhou.”
That’s true, before the battle of Tai Xuan Swamp, Demon King Tai Ze was an influential figure among the foreign forces. Although Demon King Tai Ze had recovered from his injuries and became silent on his own, everyone thought that once he recovered, he would becomop-notch expert.
Yang Junxiu said witint of worry: “Also, this Demon King Taize doesn’t seem to have a simple identity among demons. If you kill him this time, you must be careful of cultivators similar to the Demon King Taize who might rush over to take revenge.”
