Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 303: Defeat

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, several spirit ships suddenly appeared in the distance, with the Murong family flag standing proudly on them.

Before the spirit ship approached the mountain gate, a group of escaping lights were seen rushing towards where Xu Qingyuan and others were fighting. The person leading them was Murong Yun, the elder of the Murong family.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

When Xu Qingyuan saw the Murong family arriving with such fanfare, his heart sank. Before he could speak, he heard a deep and rich voice.

"The Beast Taming Sect bullies the weak and acts unscrupulously, violating the laws of the Qianqing Sect and besieging the protected Yunxuan Sect's mountain gate. The Murong family, following the Qianqing Sect's orders, has come to aid Yunxuan Sect."

"Listen up, fellow Daoists! The Qianqing Sect will soon send forces to wipe out the Beastmaster Sect. You are not disciples of the Beastmaster Sect, so there is no need to be buried with them. Now is the time to stop and return to your respective sects. The siege of the Yunxuan Sect will be forgiven."

"If you remain stubborn, the Qianqing Sect will issue an order to wipe you out along with your sect."

Murong Yun's words rolled out through spiritual power and were so clear that they fell into everyone's ears. In an instant, all the teams of the Beast Taming Sect became panicked, especially the summoned monks. When they heard that the Murong family came under the order of the Qianqing Sect, they were all shocked.

Many people immediately stopped attacking Monk Yun Xuanzong and looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

They were recruited and only obeyed orders under the pressure of the Beast Taming Sect.

Now the Murong family came to support Yun Xuanzong and even brought out the name of Qianqingzong.

These people were reluctant to begin with, and now they were afraid of being liquidated, so they all stopped.

"Murong Yun, how dare you do this." Xu Qingyuan gritted his teeth, shocked and angry. He never expected that the Murong family would turn against him and help Yun Xuanzong at this time.

"Listen, disciples, don't be misled by Murong Yun's words." The most urgent task is to stabilize the morale of the army, Xu Qingyuan shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I'm here to help you." Murong Yun shot out quickly, leading a large group of Murong family cultivators to attack Xu Qingyuan and others.

"Following the order of Emperor Qianqing, we are assisting Emperor Yunxuan. Those who are about to stop will be immediately expelled and their past will be forgiven. Those who are stubborn and unyielding will be killed without mercy."

Many cultivators jumped off the Murong family's spirit ship, shouting in unison as they headed towards the battlefields in the southeast and northwest of Yunxuan Mountain.

"I, Qi Yunxuan, personally guarantee that if you are not a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect and you leave this sect now and stop aiding and abetting the evil, the Yunxuan Sect will not hold anyone accountable. If you persist in your wrongdoing, not only will the individuals involved in this battle, but also their sects will be retaliated against." Seeing that the reinforcements from the Murong family had arrived, Qi Yunxuan also shouted loudly, and his voice echoed far away.

The recruited monks who were besieging Yun Xuanzong's disciples became even more panicked upon hearing this.

The leaders of each sect were also at a loss as to what to do. They all stopped attacking and started talking among themselves. For a while, the whole place was filled with noise.

Although some of the Beast Taming Sect's supervising disciples tried their best to stop it, they were unable to command them at all.

"Elder Chen, what should we do now?"

"The Murong family said they were following the orders of Emperor Qianqing. Do we still have to continue besieging Emperor Yunxuan?"

"The cultivators of the Murong family have already rushed over."

"If the Emperor Qianqing settles the score later, it will be over."

"Let the Beastmaster Sect and Yunxuan Sect resolve their own affairs. Let's go."

.........

The chattering and discussion between the teams was like the buzzing of flies, making a humming sound.

As the cultivators of the Murong family got closer and closer, it was unknown which team was the first to leave the main force, and the other teams followed suit. Like a landslide, a large number of recruited teams broke away from the ranks of disciples besieging Yun Xuanzong.

The originally orderly formation suddenly became chaotic. The various recruited sect forces, divided into teams of dozens of people, scattered like birds. No matter how loudly the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect shouted, it was of no use.

It was not until a large number of Murong family cultivators arrived that the Beast Taming Sect team, which was originally fighting against the Yun Xuan Sect disciples, lost their helpers and was attacked from both sides, and fell into chaos.

…………

In the Bamu Mountain, inside the formation, yellow smoke filled the entire sky and earth. After waiting for a while, Lin Zixiang and others saw Luo Jin, a foundation-building cultivator from the Luoyun Sect, leading two teams here.

Everyone rushed over, and Luo Jin briefly explained what had happened. Not only their three teams, but also the three teams that entered the formation from the south of Yamu Mountain had suffered many casualties and were unable to move forward. They also sent people to ask Huang Feng for permission to withdraw from the formation.

Hornet then led two teams to support the south of Yagi Mountain and ordered Luo Jin to lead the remaining two teams to support them.

Luo Jin ordered to continue moving forward, and everyone had to follow. Not long after, a burst of fire rose above the yellow fog, and countless flames hit everyone like meteors.

The power of this restriction was obviously greater than the last time, but with the addition of Luo Jin's 200-man reinforcement team and the unified command of Luo Jin, a foundation-building cultivator, although the entire team suffered some casualties, they were not as great as the second restriction attack.

Just when everyone had just survived this forbidden attack, the yellow smoke that filled the sky and earth suddenly dissipated, and in the distance, a burst of shouting and killing sounds were heard.

However, the main force of the Beast Taming Sect that entered the west and north of Mount Yagi had already broken through the formation and entered the headquarters of the Yunxuan Sect.

"Senior Luo, our sect has broken through the formation. Please immediately lead all the fellow Taoists to support our sect and take over this mountain." A disciple of the Beast Taming Sect who followed Luo Jin into the formation showed joy on his face.

"Follow me." Luo Jin gave an order, and everyone went towards the place where the two sides were fighting. At the same time, the team that entered the formation from the south of Yagi Mountain also went there to provide support.

331 Defeat

Yun Xuanzong's garrison troops were quickly defeated and fled in all directions.

At this time, a spirit ship came speeding from the left side of Yagi Mountain, with the flag of the Murong family flying on it.

The spirit ship soon approached, and several rays of light were seen falling from it. Some of the people were wearing the clothes of the Murong family, and some were wearing the clothes of Yun Xuanzong.

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, dressed in Murong Clan attire, declared loudly, "Listen up, fellow Daoists! I am Murong Yi. The Beastmaster Clan's siege of Yun Xuanzong violates the rules of the Qianqing Clan. This prefecture is following the Qianqing Clan's orders to come and aid Yun Xuanzong."

"The Beastmaster Sect disciples who besieged Yunxuan Sect's mountain gate have been wiped out. The remaining recruited monks from various cities have also repented and left the Beastmaster Sect coalition to return to their respective sects." "Those who are not Beastmaster Sect disciples, leave now and I will forgive you. If you persist in your mistakes, you and your sect will be exterminated later."

As soon as he said this, the people behind him also shouted loudly, and the sound shook the earth and reached the sky.

All the monks from the Bianxi City Independent Brigade were stunned. They looked at each other, at a loss, and stopped attacking Yun Xuanzong's disciples.

"Senior Brother Lin, what should we do?" Zhang Yi looked at George Lam.

George Lam looked a little confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, the Luoyun Sect's troops suddenly became agitated and retreated to the left rear.

Seeing that Luo Yun Sect intended to withdraw from the battlefield, Lin Zixiang immediately asked everyone to follow Luo Yun Sect and retreat.

"Listen to me, fellow Taoists. The Murong family is falsifying the orders of the Qianqing Sect. Don't be deceived." A foundation-building cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are not allowed to retreat without the order of Uncle Huang." The Beast Taming Sect disciple who was supervising the battle in the Hunyuan Sect team shouted and stopped in front of Lin Zixiang.

"No retreat, no retreat. Violators will be severely punished." Wasp also shouted loudly. After finding that no one obeyed him, he even killed a fleeing monk with his own hands in anger, hoping to intimidate everyone.

But this did not stop the team from fleeing, instead everyone fled in even greater haste.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have anything to say, go talk to the Luoyun Sect." Lin Zixiang ignored the Beastmaster Sect's supervising disciple and led everyone away from the battle group quickly.

Soon, a large number of monks from the Murong family and the Yunxuan Sect arrived at the battlefield to provide support. Due to the evacuation of the monks from Bianxi City, the people of the Beastmaster Sect were also in panic and had no intention of fighting. After a battle, they fled in all directions.

As for the people of Hunyuan Sect, they were worried that they would be too conspicuous and be chased by the enemy, so Lin Zixiang did not choose to flee in the same direction as Luoyun Sect, but went their separate ways.

Not until they were dozens of miles away from the Yagiyama battle group did everyone stop.

Lin Zixiang looked towards the direction of Yagi Mountain with flickering eyes. He was confused and didn't know whether he should stay or go back to Bianxi City directly.

Just now, they disobeyed the order and left the battlefield. If they continued to stay, they might be punished by the Beast Taming Sect later. However, if they returned to the mountain gate without permission, if the Beast Taming Sect finally won, they would definitely come to the sect to demand an explanation.

"Brother Lin, since you have violated the coalition's order, staying here will definitely not end well. I think you should just go back to the sect." Zhang Yi saw his hesitation and spoke.

"To be honest, I also suspect that the Murong family is using the name of the Qianqing Sect. If the Beastmaster Sect wins in the end and we escape back to the sect secretly, they will definitely not let us go." Lin Zixiang expressed his concerns.

"How about this? Let's contact the other sects. If they want to go back, we can go together, or we can stay together. The law doesn't punish everyone. Let's return to Bianxi City together. Even if the Beastmaster Sect wants to settle the score later, they may not find us."

"Okay, let's do it."

"I see the Luoyun Sect seems to be heading southeast. They have hundreds of people, so they're definitely not going fast. Junior Brother Zhang Yi, pick a few people and ride on flying instruments to chase them. Find Luo Jin and ask him what to do next. If they stay, we'll stay too. If they return to Bianxi City, we'll return to Bianxi City too. As long as the Luoyun Sect is there, the Beastmaster Sect will go after them first. It's not safe here yet, we can't stay for long, we'll eventually meet up in Nanfeng Valley."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person riding a flying magic weapon rushing towards him from a distance. Soon he was close to him. It turned out to be a cultivator from the Luoyun Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder what your sect will do next?" The Luoyun Sect disciple put away his magic weapon and quickly came to Alan Lam. Before Alan Lam could say anything, he spoke.

Obviously, he came here on Luo Jin's orders. It seemed that Luo Jin was also undecided and wanted to get everyone to make a decision together. This was understandable.

As the main force of the Bianxi City Independent Brigade, the Luoyun Sect was the first to leave the battlefield. If the Beast Taming Sect wanted to cause trouble, they would be the first to go after. Luo Jin was also worried that if they returned to Bianxi City alone, or returned to the Beast Taming Sect to report, they would be liquidated by the Beast Taming Sect.

"We don't know either. We were planning to send someone to discuss this with Senior Luo of your clan. What does Senior Luo mean?"

"Uncle Luo means that we, the cultivators of Bianxi City, should unite as one. If we want to stay, we stay together. If we want to leave, we leave together. Uncle Luo hopes that your sect can maintain consistency with ours."

"We think so too. Whether advancing or retreating, our sect will firmly follow your sect's footsteps."

"That's great. Fellow Daoist Lin, please bring your sect's cultivators to reunite with ours! Uncle Luo is waiting for you."

George Lam then ordered everyone to follow the Luoyun Sect disciple.

After walking for a while, everyone arrived at the Luoyun Sect's gathering place. In addition to the Luoyun Sect disciples, the Kong family cultivators and several other sects were already there.

"Senior Luo, whether to go or stay, our sect will obey your orders." Lin Zixiang was led to Luo Jin. After meeting him, he bowed and made his attitude clear.

"Alright." Luo Jin nodded in satisfaction. "I've already discussed this with several other sects. Let's not rush off yet. Let's first find out about the other recruiting teams. Since the Murong family has joined forces with Yun Xuanzong and is supporting Yamu Mountain, that means the teams besieging Yun Xuanzong's mountain gate have all retreated."

"The other recruited teams either retreated back to the camp with the Beastmaster Sect, or, like us, temporarily left the Beastmaster Sect's control."

"If we return to Bianxi City alone, the Beastmaster Sect will definitely cause trouble for us. However, if all the recruited teams choose to return to the sect, the Beastmaster Sect will be unable to do anything."

"I've already sent people to inquire about the movements of the other teams, especially the three conscripted teams that followed the Beastmaster Sect's headquarters to surround the Yunxuan Sect's mountain gate. If they all retreat to the main camp with the Beastmaster Sect's headquarters, we'll have no choice but to return. On the other hand, if they intend to return to their respective sects, we won't have to work for the Beastmaster Sect anymore."

Lin Zixiang knew that Luo Jin was afraid of taking responsibility. As the only foundation-building cultivator in the conscription team of Bianxi City, and the leader of the leading sect in Bianxi City, if he brought the team back to Bianxi City, the Beastmaster Sect might not cause trouble for others, but they would definitely not let him go.

If he wants to protect himself, he must keep in line with the rest of the drafted team.

"Senior Luo is quite right. I have a question. In your opinion, did the Murong family really follow the Qianqing Sect's orders to help Yunxuan Sect?"

Luo Jin pondered for a moment: "To be honest, I don't know either. Logically, the Qianqing Sect shouldn't interfere in the fighting between sects in Xijiang County. Even if the Beastmaster Sect really violated the Qianqing Sect's orders and attacked the Yunxuan Sect's mountain gate, the Qianqing Sect wouldn't have learned of it so quickly. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the Murong family, so it's not their turn to take action."

"However, Yunxuanzong does have a close relationship with Qianqingzong. Qi Yunxuan, the head of Yunxuanzong, was originally a disciple of Qianqingzong and has many connections within the Qianqingzong. In particular, Qi Xiaofeng, the former head of Qianqingzong stationed in Xishu County, is said to be Qi Yunxuan's uncle."

"The Murong family dared to support Yun Xuanzong under the name of the Qianqing Sect. I believe that even if it was not an order from the Qianqing Sect, it must have been a request from a senior figure in the Qianqing Sect."

"Otherwise, there is no way the Murong family would turn against us at this critical moment and help Yun Xuanzong deal with the Beastmaster Sect for no reason."

"Now that the Yunxuan Sect and the Murong family have joined forces, and with the Qianqing Sect's support behind them, the Beastmaster Sect is probably in trouble. This is why I am leading my disciples to evacuate first. Let's wait and see."
