Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 332 It’s Inevitable
Meanwhile, while the people of the Beast Taming Sect and the Hunyuan Sect were desperately attacking the formation, several teams of the Luoyun Sect had already set out to various places to seize the Kong family's resource territories.

In the northwest of Bianxi City, in a second-grade medium-quality spiritual field under the jurisdiction of the Kong family, in a spacious and bright room, a man was sitting inside practicing martial arts. Waves of heat rose from his body, like steam, and the whole room was filled with visible heat.

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door. The man suddenly opened his eyes and took a few deep breaths, but the knock on the door never stopped.

Anger flashed across his face. When practicing Kung Fu, the most taboo thing was to be disturbed. Once a mistake was made in practicing Kung Fu, it would likely bring serious consequences to oneself.

He stood up and opened the stone door, and was about to yell angrily, but he saw the solemn and stern face of the visitor, which was a sign.

Before he could speak, the visitor said hurriedly: "Gather all of you immediately and follow me to support the mountain gate."

"What happened?" The man realized the seriousness of the problem and his anger was gone.

"The Beast Taming Sect is attacking the mountain gate."

"what?"

"There's no time to explain. Gather everyone here immediately and we'll talk later." Just as the man finished speaking, a clear sound of bells and drums was heard.

The man's expression changed slightly, and he walked out of the room quickly. He met a man walking hurriedly with a panicked look on his face: "Brother Tian, ​​a spirit ship from the Luoyun Sect broke in. It seems that they are here with bad intentions."

"Activate the formation immediately." The man gave the order and turned back to look at the newcomer: "What's going on? Could it be that the Luoyun Sect and the Beast Taming Sect have joined forces?"

"I don't know either. The ones who attacked the mountain gate were only cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect and the Hunyuan Sect, and no one from the Luoyun Sect." The visitor was also panicked, with a look of fear on his face. If the Beast Taming Sect and the Luoyun Sect joined forces, their fate would be predictable.

……

The spirit ship with the Luoyun Sect flag flying was parked outside the valley, and a Luoyun Sect cultivator jumped off it.

Auspicious clouds have risen above the spiritual land. Because it is an important resource area, a formation guarding it has been set up.

Soon, a Kong family cultivator emerged from the room, riding a flying magical instrument. From a distance of over a hundred feet, he warily gazed at the thin, middle-aged man from the Luoyun Sect who was leading the group. "Senior Yuan, what do you mean? Our clan and I have always been on good terms. Why have you brought so many people here today? I wonder what your purpose is?"

"Don't you know that the Beast Taming Sect is attacking your mountain gate? Soon, their people will come to seize this resource-rich area. Our sect leader sent us to help you defend it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Yuan, but we don't need your help defending this place. Please return!"

"The four of you Foundation Establishment cultivators have been ambushed and killed by the Beast Taming Sect, and the mountain gate is about to be breached by them. Their next move is to seize your resource territory outside. With your strength, you absolutely cannot defend this place. If you can join our sect, this resource territory will still be managed by you, and you will only give the profits to us. We will guarantee your safety. How about it?"

"Senior, please go back and let us discuss this matter."

"In that case, I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. If you're willing to join our sect, close the formation and let us in. We can discuss everything. If you're stubborn and want to fight like a trapped beast, don't blame us for being rude. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."

The Kong family cultivator turned around and went back into the formation, came to a spacious hall, and relayed these words to the person in charge of the spiritual field.

In an instant, everyone inside became a mess.

"The mountain gate is in danger, and the Luoyun Sect is taking advantage of the situation to rob us. What should we do now?"

"The mountain gate is critical. We should just abandon this place and go back to support the mountain gate. As long as we hold the mountain gate, we can make a comeback."

"With so few of us, we won't be able to defend the mountain gate if we go back."

"Why not just agree to Luoyun Sect's conditions? First, conserve your strength and wait for an opportunity to act later."

"Giving this second-grade, mid-grade spiritual field to the Luoyun Sect for nothing?"

Several people were arguing with each other.

Outside the formation, the man named Yuan, who was the leader of the Luoyun Sect, watched for an incense stick of time without any response. He snorted coldly, then gave an order and led everyone into the formation.

The same scene was being played out all over Bianxi City.

……

On Luojia Mountain, outside the formation, in an empty place, a figure slowly emerged. This person was Kong Xiangyuan. Looking at the flashes of lightning shooting through the swirling golden clouds, his brows furrowed tightly.

After escaping from Jiang Xuan's pursuit, he first found a safe place to recover his depleted spiritual power, and then headed all the way to Luojia Mountain.

On the way back, he also thought about whether the mountain gate was safe now. Since Jiang Feng sent people to ambush them, he must have made a lot of preparations.

Maybe while they were ambushing them, another group was already attacking the mountain gate.

But if he didn't return to the mountain gate, he had nowhere to go. Besides, the life and death of Kong Zhenqing, Kong Zhenxuan and Jiang Yuhuan were unknown. He didn't know whether they had escaped the pursuit and returned to the mountain gate, so he went back to check.

As he expected, a large number of monks were attacking the mountain gate. Since he didn't know how many people were on the other side, who they were, and what the current situation at the mountain gate was, he did not go back rashly, but watched the situation from outside.

If the invaders were repelled, it would not be too late for him to go back.

If the mountain gate formation is breached, then if he goes back, he will be walking into a trap.

Just as he was watching, two beams of light came rushing towards him from a distance, and Kong Xiangyuan immediately hid himself.

Soon, the two beams of light reached the outside of the formation. Although he could not see the faces of the two people clearly from a distance, he could conclude from the faintly visible color of their clothes that they were from the Beast Taming Sect.

In order to avoid being discovered by the two men, he quietly left the place until he was out of their sight. Then he rose up and headed northwest. After walking for a long time, he came to another second-level spiritual vein owned by the Kong family.

Originally, he wanted to come here to inquire about the situation before making a decision, but when he arrived, he saw golden auspicious clouds rising from the mountain where the spiritual vein was located, and golden light shot out from there. The sounds of shouting and fighting inside could be faintly heard, and outside the formation, there was a spiritual ship with the flag of Luoyun Sect parked, and many Luoyun Sect disciples were standing outside the formation.

Seeing this scene, Kong Xiangyuan naturally thought that the Beast Taming Sect had joined forces with the Luoyun Sect.

With the two sides joining forces, the destruction of the Kong family is inevitable. Moreover, the lives of Kong Zhenqing, Kong Zhenxuan and Jiang Yuhuan are uncertain, and he alone cannot turn the tide.

After thinking for a while, he decided to leave Bianxi City and join a large sect.

As for the destruction of the Kong family's foundation, although he felt sorry for it, he was not heartbroken.

He often felt that given his spiritual roots and talents, it was a bit of a waste to be born into the Kong family.

With the resources of the Kong family, it is at most enough for him to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building. If he wants to form a pill, he must have a great opportunity.

If he were in a large sect, with his talent and ability, he would have a good chance of achieving Dan. He had never paid much attention to the inheritance of the family business. Compared to his personal cultivation, the Kong family business was not worth mentioning.

In his heart, personal cultivation is above all else.

When one day his cultivation breaks through to the Jindan stage or even the Yuanying stage, won’t it be easy for him to establish a Kong family?

Kong Xiangyuan took one last look towards Luojia Mountain, then without hesitation, he soared into the sky and headed eastward.

…………

From midday to sunset, and then to the rising of the moon and the moon reaching its zenith.

On Luojia Mountain, within the great formation, the rumbling sound from the golden clouds was endless.

It took them several hours to walk a distance of just over ten miles, enduring all kinds of lightning, fire, and gold attacks, and they finally arrived in front of the defensive light curtain.

"Listen up, cultivators of the Kong family. Kong Zhenqing, Kong Zhenxuan, Jiang Yuhuan, and Kong Xiangyuan have already been executed. If anyone tries to stop and surrender now, I guarantee with my personal reputation and the reputation of our sect that I will not make things difficult for them." Jiang Feng ordered his men to hang the heads of Kong Zhenqing and Jiang Yuhuan high up, and shouted loudly while attacking the defensive light curtain.

The other Beast Taming Sect cultivators and the Hunyuan Sect cultivators also shouted loudly, asking the Kong family cultivators to surrender, and their voices resounded through the sky.

Inside the formation, nearly a hundred Kong family cultivators sat cross-legged around the formation altar, with spiritual energy continuously flowing into them. Most of them had pale faces, and some even had dense beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Although the third-level formation is powerful, it requires a huge amount of spiritual power input to activate its forbidden attack. It is not enough to rely solely on spirit stones to maintain its operation, and it also needs to be infused with spiritual power from cultivators.

From here, one could directly see the scene outside the defensive light curtain. Everyone saw Kong Zhenqing and Jiang Yuhuan's heads hanging, heard their loud shouts, and immediately became panicked.

For fear of disrupting the morale of the army, the leaders of the Kong family blocked the news and did not tell anyone else about it. So when they suddenly saw the heads of Kong Zhenqing and Jiang Yuhuan hanging, everyone who was controlling the formation was horrified.

"Ah! The head of the patriarch."

"The head of the family is dead."

"It's over, it's all over now."

"What should we do? The Patriarch and the three Hall Masters have all been killed. Who else can resist the Beast Taming Sect..."

The chaotic and noisy sound instantly resounded throughout the entire altar.

"Quiet, quiet, no noise." The Kong family cultivator in charge of controlling the formation shouted loudly, "That's a trick of the Beastmaster Sect. Don't be fooled. The second team will replace the first team. The first team will withdraw and rest nearby to recover their spiritual power."

Although everyone was frightened, their long-term training allowed them to remain calm. Upon hearing the order from the person in charge, they immediately replaced a group of monks. The monks who were originally in charge of the altar withdrew to the side, some took the time to swallow pills to restore their spiritual power, and some were still whispering.

The hundreds of Kong family cultivators who were controlling the formation were in great confusion. Inside the hall, several members of the Kong family cabinet were also discussing fiercely and restlessly.

"The Luoyun Sect is taking advantage of our misfortune and looting our external resources and territories. Now no one in Bianxi City can save us. We can only save ourselves."

"I think the Luoyun Sect is in cahoots with the Beast Taming Sect. As long as we stay here, we'll be safe. Let's go! The Beast Taming Sect and Hunyuan Sect cultivators have already reached the defensive light curtain. Once the defensive light curtain falls, it will be too late for us to leave."

"Over half of the cultivators from the Beastmaster Sect and the Hunyuan Sect have been killed or wounded. We still have over 300 cultivators capable of fighting. If we fight to the death, who will win is still unknown. Why should we hand over our legacy of several generations to them?"

"Even if we can repel them, what good will it do? Don't forget, the Luoyun Sect is already seizing our resources and territory. If they retreat, the Luoyun Sect will pounce on us. Why send ourselves to die in vain?"

"With the Beast Taming Sect and the Falling Cloud Sect joining forces, we no longer have a foothold in Bianxi City. Our only option now is to seek refuge with the Murong family or the Yunxuan Sect. We can only conserve our strength and return to Bianxi City when the time is right."

Several people argued with each other. Except for one or two people who wanted to defend the mountain gate to the death, everyone else wanted to retreat first.

"That's enough! Stop arguing." The middle-aged man in the lead slammed the table, stopping the quarrel. He looked up at the old man with white hair and beard and said, "Uncle San, what do you think?"

Ever since receiving reports from his disciples that Yanluoyun Sect was plundering resources and territories outside, the old man who had been so heroic and calm had become silent, as if he had lost his energy. His energy and spirit were gone in an instant, and he seemed extremely exhausted.

"Let's go!" After a moment of silence, the old man lay back, as if he had lost all his strength, and said weakly.

"Do we really want to give up Luojia Mountain?" The middle-aged man in the lead was still a little unwilling.

"We're not giving up Luojia Mountain; we're giving up the entire Bianxi City. Whether the Luoyun Sect is taking advantage of our situation or has been colluding with the Beastmaster Sect, they're on the same side. There's no place for us in Bianxi City. Since the Luoyun Sect has chosen to seize our external resource territories, they won't let us go. Even if we repel the Beastmaster Sect this time, they'll pounce on us and take our share."

"If we give up Bianxi City, where should we go? Should we seek refuge with the Murong family or Emperor Yun Xuanzong?"

"You make your own decision! You take the property loaded on the spirit ship and go, and I will stay." The old man slowly stood up, straightened his body, and a determination burst out from his lifeless eyes.

"Third Uncle..." Everyone present was moved when they heard this.

"I'm old, and I don't have many years left to live. I don't want to live in poverty and live under someone else's roof in my later years. The Kong family's five generations of foundation have always had someone to die with. I die here today, and it's a worthy death. You are all talented people, and you all have the hope of achieving foundation building in the future. You don't have to stay here and die like an old man like me. The burden of restoring our family lies on you."

After hearing this, several people fell silent, and some even had tears in their eyes.

"Don't be so fussy. Go pick out those talented youngsters and elite disciples and take them away on the spirit ship. As for the rest of you, those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can also go together."

"Listen to Third Uncle, go!" the middle-aged man in the lead gave the order.

Soon, hundreds of monks from the Kong family gathered outside the hall.

Several cabinet members had already called out some talented and highly skilled people in advance and brought them onto the spirit ship.

Soon, the spirit ship rose up, carrying the treasures in the treasury and those people towards the north.

The hundreds of monks who stayed behind were immediately furious when they saw this scene, and there was a lot of noise.

"What are they doing?"

"Are they gone?"

"Damn it, they escaped and left us here."

"No, they can't leave..."
