Chapter 135: Qingluan Treasure Ship
"Yes, if we lose people, how will we defend Black Wind City?" Ding Liyuan also spoke up. He looked at Yan Wuchang, feeling resentful. If the Yan brothers hadn't been so determined to deal with the Li family of Yunmeng Lake, they wouldn't have been implicated.
In Black Wind City, they only need to collect spirit stones from passing cultivators entering the mountain to live a comfortable life!
Moreover, there's the trade in elixirs.
And some lone sheep who have found an opportunity.
Slaughtering one or two each year is enough to feed them a whole pot of wine!
If we lose this foundation, we won't be able to live such a comfortable life anymore.
"What's the rush! I've already contacted a powerful figure in the immortal sect, and news will arrive soon," Yan Wuchang said coldly.
As he spoke, a black mist enveloped his body, captivating all who heard him.
Inside the hall, Dong Yutian timidly retreated to his seat.
Although both were Foundation Establishment cultivators, there was an insurmountable gap between him and Yan Wuchang, and he dared not be arrogant at all.
Ding Liyuan was also terrified and quickly retreated.
"With the protection of the near-third-tier 'Black Wind Wolf Formation' and several Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Black Wind City, what do we have to fear from others?" Yan Wuchang continued, "Although my elder brother has perished this time, Li Ruoyu is also seriously injured. I doubt they can cause any trouble."
Yan Jiuming died, and his life tablet shattered, so Yan Wuchang and others had already received the news.
He originally intended to keep it a secret to reassure people.
Only Fang Daxian and He Zizai knew about this, but it was still leaked out.
Upon hearing this, Dong Yutian and Ding Liyuan nodded slightly.
However, with people's morale low and their hearts filled with anxiety, they are now also feeling discontent.
"Second Master... will the noble person from the immortal sect that the former First Master mentioned make an appearance?" Zhang Maoheng couldn't help but ask.
He was thin, dressed in a blue robe, and had a somewhat refined air.
He was once a member of a prestigious immortal family, but due to being ostracized within his clan, he joined Black Wind City.
"Of course!" Yan Wuchang said. "Our Black Wind Thirty-Six Caves have nearly a thousand Qi Refining cultivators... and more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. In any cultivation country, that would be a powerful force! The immortal sects cannot interfere in worldly affairs, and they are in dire need of talents like us!"
A slight smile curved his lips.
As the second-in-command of Black Wind Mountain, he naturally knew the ways of the cultivation world.
Many immortal masters from various sects would support a few swordsmen to do the dirty work that the immortal sects themselves couldn't do.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Maoheng nodded slightly.
But he also felt uneasy.
They believed that their small Foundation Establishment faction should not get involved in the struggles between the immortal sects.
However, being caught up in the situation, he couldn't easily extricate himself.
There are countless enemies waiting for him outside Black Wind Mountain!
"Second Master, something terrible has happened!" Just then, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator dressed in black rushed in from outside the hall to report.
Inside the hall, all six Foundation Establishment cultivators looked toward the newcomer.
"He Zhuo... what kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful!" He Zizai said with a rather authoritative tone.
He Zhuo was his nephew.
"I hereby inform all leaders... Outside Black Wind City, outside the city, a flying ship from the Immortal Sect is approaching!" He Zhuo said urgently.
He looked at He Zizai, Yan Wuchang, and the others, his eyes filled with fear.
"What! A Celestial Gate spaceship!" Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
He Zizai abruptly stood up and asked, "Did you get a good look at which company's spaceship it was?"
"It's the Azure Flame Immortal Sect!" He Zhuo said.
"Azure Flame Immortal Sect?" Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall exchanged glances, their faces filled with solemnity.
Yan Wuchang, sitting in the main seat, was also horrified and completely stunned.
"Fourth brother, quick, activate the Black Wind Wolf Formation!" After a slight pause, Yan Jiuming immediately focused his gaze on He Zizai.
"Yes!" He Zizai nodded and said, "The three of you, come with me to the array chamber!"
He looked at Dong Yutian, Ding Liyuan, and Zhang Maoheng.
"Yes!" Dong Yutian and the other two hesitated slightly at first, then looked at each other and immediately stood up, cupped their hands and said yes.
Afterwards, He Zizai led the three of them to a formation room in Black Wind City.
"Let's go!" Yan Wuchang looked at Fang Daxian, and with a swift movement, flew out of the hall.
Fang Da nodded and followed Yu Feng away.
……
In Blackwind City, on its weathered walls stands a tower.
At this moment, two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were gazing into the distance.
Both of them were filled with fear.
Because a spaceship was hurtling towards them at high speed in the distant sky.
In just a few breaths, they appeared a thousand meters away from Blackwind City.
From afar, one could see that the bow of the spaceship was carved with the head of a blue phoenix, its beak flashing with talismanic light and spewing out blue flames, which dyed the clouds and mist in the nearby sky with bursts of blue glow. To the left and right of the spaceship, blue wings fluttered, stirring up bursts of blue air currents, accompanied by the flowing light and color, making the people on the ship seem like celestial messengers descended from heaven.
It floats gracefully, untouched by dust.
At this moment, on the deck of the spaceship, Li Hongtai's descendant, Li Zhanfei, was prominently featured.
Beside Li Zhanfei was a tall man with a square face and a black beard.
This man was named Li Wenchang and was wearing a light blue robe.
With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was over 168 years old and practiced water-attribute techniques. Standing in the middle, he looked down at Black Wind City, his gaze cold and sharp, like an eagle eyeing its prey, an invisible aura of killing intent emanating from him.
Beside Li Wenchang was a man dressed in a fiery red robe, named Li Huacheng, who was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Besides, there were two other groups of cultivators on either side of Li's foundation-building site.
On the left, in the middle, is a middle-aged man, Mu Shoushan, and beside him is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Mu clan.
His name was Mu Xun. He was twelve feet tall, as burly as a mountain, with skin like bronze and iron, and exuded a scorching aura of fire.
This person has the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage and is practicing a third-tier mid-grade cultivation technique: "Blazing Gold Body Refining Technique," which is clearly a combination of cultivation of both body and technique.
To Li's right was a graceful and elegant woman named Yun Xiaoyue, who had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Beside Yun Xiaoyue was a young man named Yun Zichong, who was only in his early forties but had already achieved the Great Perfection of the early Foundation Establishment stage.
It was clearly one of the Yun clan's Core Formation seeds.
The fact that the Azure Flame Immortal Sect sent several late-stage Foundation Establishment experts and Core Formation seedlings to Black Wind City this time is clearly to show their stance.
This is a declaration to the Golden Cloud Sect: the people of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect are not to be touched!
As for the Yun family also sending people, they had no choice but to compromise with the Mu family.
After all, they did something dirty, and if they didn't even show any remorse, the Mu family certainly wouldn't let it go.
Behind the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were three teams of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, all at level nine.
Each team consists of eight people, for a total of twenty-four. They are all dressed in uniform, wearing cloud-colored robes with a blue flame embroidered on the lapel.
The spaceship moved forward.
An overwhelming and powerful pressure pressed down.
The impact caused the second-tier restriction formation "Black Wind Formation" above Black Wind City to manifest a light shield on its own.
The protective shield materialized, but it was dented by the oppressive force emanating from the spaceship in front of it, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"What happened?"
"Such terrifying pressure! Could it be that a Core Formation cultivator has arrived!"
Inside Black Wind City, some cultivators were filled with fear and immediately looked up.
"Could it be someone from the Azure Flame Immortal Sect?" The cultivators left behind in the Thirty-Six Caves of Black Wind were even more uneasy.
Many people also know about the Boss's surprise attack on the Li family at Yunmeng Lake.
call!
At the same time, two streaks of light flashed across the city.
Yan Jiuming and Fang Da landed on the city wall first.
They both looked ahead at the same time, and their pupils contracted at the mere glance.
"It's the Azure Phoenix Blazing Flame Ship from the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, a third-tier treasure ship." Fang Daxian looked terrified.
Immediately, he looked at Yan Wuchang beside him.
"A third-tier treasure ship..." Yan Wuchang's face was also extremely gloomy, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
If a third-tier treasure ship were to unleash its full power, it could deliver a strike comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator.
Of course, the spirit stones consumed in propelling such treasure ships into battle are in the tens of thousands, which is beyond the capacity of ordinary cultivators.
If it's just flying, the amount of spirit stones required is much less.
"What should we do?" Fang Da looked at Yan Wuchang, his heart filled with fear, and asked, "Should we surrender, or flee?"
At this moment, with a formidable enemy at hand, they were powerless to fight. If they did not make a decision as soon as possible, they would surely perish without a burial place.
"We launched a surprise attack on the Li family, damaging their foundation. What's the use of surrendering now?" Yan Wuchang said with a gloomy face.
Fang Da frowned and asked, "The benefactor you mentioned, brother?"
"I have already sent word that the esteemed guest has arrived..." Yan Wuchang said.
But when he looked at the spaceship ahead, he felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat poured down his back.
"They've arrived!" Fang Daxian's gaze darkened as he looked at the spaceship ahead and let out a long sigh.
It seems they already know their fate.
They should be considered expendable.
At this moment, light patterns bloomed and black mist rose within Blackwind City.
The vast black mist writhed in the sky, evolving into a huge light shield that extended outwards, covering the city and the area within ten miles behind it. As a result, the oppressive force from the third-tier treasure ship in front of them was somewhat reduced, and the cultivators in the city breathed a slight sigh of relief.
hum!
Just as the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, the treasure ship, radiating azure flames, stopped above Black Wind City.
On the treasure ship, Li Wenchang strode out, stepping through the air.
With each step he took, ripples spread beneath his feet, eventually forming a water lily that supported his feet in mid-air.
In addition, water rippled in his dantian, celestial radiance bloomed, and three Dao flowers of 'Heaven', 'Earth', and 'Man' manifested.
Each Dao flower was shrouded in mist, as if a miniature Jianghu (martial arts world) was being nurtured within, with the sound of rolling river water emanating from within.
The Dao Flower floated in the air, gathering above his head. Accompanied by bursts of water mist, it caused a misty aura to permeate his body, with water ripples surrounding him. A vast aura swept forward, causing the array light barrier above Black Wind City to tremble and ripple.
From the city, Li Wenchang looked like an immortal floating in the air.
In the later stages of Foundation Establishment, the Three Flowers are condensed, and the surging magical power is endless.
If one were to further utilize the third-tier low-grade martial art "Lotus Steps," it would be possible to walk in the air for a short period of time.
"The Three Flowers Gather at the Top indicates the late stage of Foundation Establishment..." Fang Da looked at Li Wenchang, who was walking in the air ahead, and felt a chill in his heart.
Yan Wuchang also had a solemn expression.
He was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but even with the 'Poison Cauldron' in hand, he was comparable to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Li Wenchang is currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Sect, and the level of his cultivation technique is far beyond what a second-tier Immortal Family Foundation Establishment cultivator can match.
Faced with this kind of foundation building, Yan Wuchang's advantages will become meaningless.
