A rare opportunity

After everyone left, Xi Wuyou and Han Xiuzhi immediately set off for Ziyang Mountain.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles! Before the team arrived, they needed to understand the remaining forces of the Xianxia Sect. At the very least, they needed to know the number of those remaining and their strength, so they could prepare for the arrival of the main force.

Ziyang Mountain is one of the five mountains with the richest spiritual energy on Xuanyuan Star. These five mountains are Tianzhu Mountain, Ziyang Mountain, Yunlong Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Tie Mountain. These five mountains are also the locations of the five major sects. Tianzhu Mountain is home to the Aotian Sect, Ziyang Mountain is home to the Xianxia Sect, and Yunlong Mountain is home to the Piaomiao Sect. Emei Mountain and Tie Mountain are home to the Lingxiao Sect and Qingyun Sect, respectively.

Xi Wuyou and Han Xiuzhi arrived at the foot of Ziyang Mountain and felt its rich spiritual energy, which made them marvel! It was no coincidence that the Xianxia Sect was able to become one of the five major sects.

His divine sense probed and discovered that the Xianxia Sect indeed possessed a profound foundation. Although the majority of its forces were concentrated in the Yunfu Mountains, nearly ten Saint-level cultivators remained. The highest among them had reached the seventh level of the Saint Realm!

What Xi and Han didn't know was that the cultivator at the seventh level of the Holy Realm was none other than Hong Shouen who was exiled back by Gu Changfeng!

Hong Shouen had been unhappy since being sent back to the sect. He spent his days drinking to drown his sorrows. He knew that from now on, his position in the sect would plummet, and he would never again have a chance of becoming the leader of the Xianxia Sect!

You know, as an ordinary elder, he had virtually no power and had no right to interfere in the sect's affairs. Disheartened, he gave up on himself. Even when he sensed the sect was being watched by divine thoughts, he ignored it! Instead, he secretly hoped that something would happen to the sect so he could turn the tide and let the sect master know his abilities!

Of course, when Xi and Han sensed his presence, they quickly withdrew their spiritual thoughts. They couldn't help but feel a little uneasy!

After all, as a seventh-level Saint cultivator, he was considered a top-tier existence on Xuanyuan Star. They had no idea how to deal with such a person!

Of course, the arrows were already on the string. Even though they knew the enemy had a seventh-level Saint Realm, they had no choice but to implement their plan. After all, changing orders from day to day could easily shake the morale of the army.

Fortunately, the cultivators remaining in the Xianxia Sect, with the exception of Hong Shouen, were all Saint-level cultivators of the first or second level. As long as they had enough Saint-level cultivators to contain the seventh-level cultivator, destroying the Xianxia Sect would not be impossible!

As time went on, disciples arrived one after another, bringing with them the various forces they had contacted. What surprised Xi Wuyou even more was that Wu Changlin had not only come alone, but also brought along six sects and three aristocratic families. Including Wu Changlin, there were a staggering seven Saint-level cultivators! While most had only reached the initial Saint stage, they were still a formidable force!

By the end of the ten days, a force of no less than 500,000 had gathered at the foot of Ziyang Mountain. These individuals held a deep hatred for the Xianxia Sect! Upon learning that the White Dragon Sect intended to attack the Xianxia Sect, all the sects eagerly joined. Among them, there were nearly 50 cultivators above the Bible level!

Xi Wuyou, who had been a little worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this! With such strength, even if they couldn't destroy the Xianxia Sect, they would at least cause it to suffer heavy losses! The reason he decided to attack the Xianxia Sect's headquarters was ultimately to lift the siege of Yunfu! As long as the Xianxia Sect's base was attacked, he believed that Gu Changfeng would definitely withdraw his troops to rescue them!

The scene at the foot of Ziyang Mountain finally caught the attention of those who stayed behind. But they didn't take it seriously! After all, in their opinion, no one on Xuanyuan Star would dare to attack the Xianxia Sect! They even thought that these people had gathered simply to flatter the Xianxia Sect and to protect it!

Therefore, when they saw the monks gathered at the foot of the mountain attacking the Xianxia Sect, they were all dumbfounded and in disbelief!

Seeing the enemy's overwhelming strength, everyone was trembling with fear! Only Hong Shouen was extremely excited! He believed that this was the time to prove his strength and show his skills!

Therefore, he immediately jumped up and said loudly:

"You rats! Who gave you the guts? How dare you invade my Xianxia Sect! I'll make sure you never return!"

Xi Wuyou had already made arrangements. Wu Changlin and Han Xiuzhi immediately led two other Saint-level monks out of the crowd and headed straight for Hong Shouen! Wu Changlin even shouted loudly:

"Don't be so arrogant, old man! Today I will let you know the consequences of your arrogance!"

"Humph! Aren't you afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind? What can a bunch of you rotten fish and shrimp do to me?"

"How shameless! Enough of the nonsense, let's see who's the winner today!"

"Humph! You really don't know how to live or die!"

Hong Shouen snorted coldly, then raised his sword and slashed towards Wu Changlin and others!

Wu Changlin and the others had been instructed by Xi Wuyou that their mission was to contain Hong Shouen. Therefore, they didn't engage Hong Shouen head-on, but instead surrounded him, leaving him no time to focus on other matters.

At this time, Xi Wuyou led the rest of the cultivators to launch a fierce attack on the Xianxia Sect!

The Xianxia Sect had already transferred most of its cultivators to the Yunfu Mountains. The remaining ones were mostly old, weak, and sick. Their strongest fighter was Hong Shouen.

At this moment, Hong Shouen was tripped by Wu Changlin and the others. How could the remaining cultivators withstand the attack of Xi Wuyou and the others? After a brief resistance, they quickly collapsed!

Even Xi Wuyou hadn't expected such a situation to happen! In his opinion, even if most of the Xianxia Sect's strength was gone, it would be no easy task to break through the Xianxia World's defenses!

However, he never expected that the cultivators left behind by the Xianxia Sect would be such cowards! With just one charge, they were completely routed!

It's no wonder! While most of the troops were said to be concentrated in the Yunfu Mountains, in reality, to restore the Xianxia Sect's reputation, Gu Changfeng practically mobilized the entire sect to suppress Li Yu. In reality, the cultivators remaining within the Xianxia Sect were all unremarkable individuals! And Hong Shouen, too, was abandoned!

The rapid collapse of the Xianxia Sect's cultivators was beyond Hong Shouen's expectations! Watching his disciples flee in all directions, Hong Shouen couldn't help but feel a chill in his spine! As the saying goes, a hero cannot stand up to four strong men, and a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves! After all, the enemy had so many Saint-level cultivators. If they laid siege to him, even if he had the cultivation of the seventh Saint level, he would probably not be able to withstand so many people! As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood! Escape first!

He roared and swung his longsword with such force that it was impenetrable to the wind and rain! Using his internal energy, he forced Wu Changlin and the others to retreat! Seizing the opportunity, he quickly broke free from Wu Changlin's grasp and fled!

Wu Changlin and the others were about to chase after him when they heard Xi Wuyou shouting:

"Brother! Don't chase after a desperate enemy! Let's destroy the Xianxia Sect first!"

Although Wu Changlin was unwilling to give up, he could only let him escape. He knew that it was unrealistic for them to capture Hong Shouen with just a few of them! Even if they chased him, it would be useless. In this case, they should destroy the Xianxia Sect's lair first!

The remaining Xianxia Sect cultivators were not only weak, but also few in number! There were only less than 200,000! Facing nearly 500,000 cultivators filled with hatred, they were slaughtered! In less than an hour, Ziyang Mountain was littered with the bodies of Xianxia Sect disciples! Even the remaining Saint-level cultivators were not spared!

Seeing the disciples of the Xianxia Sect die one by one under the butcher's knife, Xi Wuyou still felt unsatisfied! He immediately ordered his men to set fire! In an instant, the entire Xianxia Sect was engulfed in flames!

Hong Shouen was as busy as a fish that had escaped the net, as panicked as a dog that had lost its home! As he flew, he looked back and saw a huge fire rising from the sect. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear! Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire!

The destruction of the old nest was a serious matter. After all, I was the strongest fighter left in the sect! If the sect master knew about this, I would have an unshirkable responsibility! I couldn't let the sect master know, no matter what! The only solution now was to hide!
