Journey to the head

The moonlight poured down through the branches and leaves in the forest, illuminating the three foundation-building feathered masters in spots.

The moonlight leaked under the forest, and the sparseness was like snow.

But one of the fairies among the three just stood there quietly, and she was already brighter than the moonlight.

Her skin was fair and translucent, her lips were as red as if painted, her facial features were extremely beautiful, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her long, shiny black hair was tied into a double-ring flying fairy bun.

She was wearing a sky-blue horse-faced skirt with narrow sleeves and a wide silver crane-patterned belt around her waist, which made her look even more slender and graceful. Her figure was well-proportioned, with shoulders as sharp as a knife and a waist as thin as a slender waist.

And beside her legs, there was a huge leopard-like white cat nestling, its satin-like fur was like snow and gauze, condensing the bright starlight, and its two round blue pupils were like the blue sea and clear sky, containing a strange power.

A fairy as pure and moving as apricot blossoms in the rain, accompanied by a civet cat with azure pupils, the two complement each other, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.

Everyone present was extremely amazed, but no one dared to have any unrealistic thoughts. At the same time, the two hundred disciples bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Grandmaster Jiang."

Great-uncle-master Jiang Baitao is in the middle stage of foundation building.

Jiang Baitao, the youngest sister among the fourth generation disciples of Yunshan Sect, has now become an uncle that these sixth generation disciples can only look up to.

Facing the disciples' greetings, Jiang Baitao waved her hand and said, "No need for courtesy on the battlefield. All disciples, assemble, and all team leaders, assemble your troops immediately and march forward according to your orders!"

She swept her eyes across the entire place. "The time for rest has passed. You must concentrate on fighting the enemy. This place is not like Cangzhou. This mission is not a competition between fellow disciples. This is a war! On the battlefield, the slightest mistake will lead to death. If you don't want to turn into ashes and be taken back by your fellow disciples, there is only one way, obey orders and fight bravely!"

All the disciples were awed and responded loudly. The team leaders immediately gave orders, and the twenty combat teams quickly formed up as they had practiced on a daily basis.

Anfang Crane had jumped down from the tree branch and quickly joined his team.

He took a leisurely look in the direction of Grandmaster Jiang, and saw that to her right was a person in the late stage of foundation building, with a light mist surrounding him and two azure flying swords crossed on his back.

That was Ding Shu, the only remaining guest foundation-building official in Yunshan Sect who was in charge of combat.

It is said that this guest official Ding joined the Yunshan School when he was still practicing Qigong. That was during the first "Six-Six Carnival" of Shuangyefang. It has been more than seventy years now.

He has grown to his current state under the training of the Yunshan Sect. He is loyal to the sect, has participated in many major battles, and is a time-tested companion.

On her left was a cultivator with a stern face and a thin figure. His spiritual power was restrained and inconspicuous.

But An Fanghe felt at ease, thinking that with this great deity around, as long as he stayed in the team obediently, his safety would be guaranteed.

That was Xiao Tianci, the number one swordsman in Yunshan, who taught sword skills with the foundation-building cultivation level and had trained dozens of swordsmen to the late foundation-building stage.

According to what An Fanghe knew, apart from a few elders, he should be the most powerful person among all the foundation-building practitioners in Yunshan Sect.

An Fanghe glanced at the three foundation-building cultivators, and Bei Luo Shimen's eyes flashed, and he also caught his gaze and meowed at Jiang Baitao.

Jiang Baitao snorted softly. She was naturally familiar with this notoriously lazy disciple.

Originally, with An Fanghe's cultivation qualifications and his position as a staff officer, he was qualified to be a team leader. However, he did not know how to make progress and stayed in the team for a long time. This behavior was a waste of talent and made people dissatisfied.

But now is not the time to scold. Besides, those who should be scolded have been scolded before, and it is of no use.

Jiang Baitao stretched out her hand and Beiluo Shimen stretched his body further, lifted her up and flew straight into the sky. Ding Shu and Xiao Tianci followed closely beside her.

"My disciples, follow me!"

Twenty combat teams, each with ten people, boarded two Yunshan Sect's standard flying boats, for a total of forty flying boats. Following closely behind the three foundation-building feathered masters, they flew out of the dense jungle and lit up neatly in the night sky.

An Fanghe looked up and saw that the same light was rising in two other directions of the sky. There, there were also two combat teams of the Yunshan Sect!
Oh, no, now I should say that there are also two Danxia teams.

There are three battalions in total, each with twenty combat teams, each led by three foundation-building warriors, flying out from three directions and heading straight for the center.

A mountain gate spiritual place with dazzling light, shrouded by a golden elixir-level mountain protection formation!

The target was right in front of him. Even though he had rehearsed it many times in his mind, An Fanghe still became nervous. He sighed repeatedly in his heart. If he could escape, he would definitely not come here. Wouldn't the warm and comfortable bed on Mianlong Mountain be nice?
It’s a pity that I can’t disobey God’s orders, and I have to suffer this.

Alas, the leader is a genius with unparalleled strategies, and the elders also have their own strengths and plans. Don’t you understand that everyone has different ambitions and pursuits, so why force it?

Take Uncle Xiao who is leading the team at the front, for example. He has always been obsessed with swordsmanship and seldom shows up, but in recent years he has appeared frequently and very actively led the team to complete various tasks. He was also the first to respond to the battle in Ningzhou this time.

for what?
Perhaps other disciples thought that Master Xiao was too quiet and wanted to move, or that he liked to hone his sword skills through combat missions, but An Fanghe, who was in the General Staff, knew that this was all for the competition for that "Pure Glass Body"!
Cultivate a pure glass body, remove all impurities from the body, and restore the innate purity of a baby. Spiritual energy flows freely through the acupuncture points throughout the body, and spiritual power is transported to the meridians without any delay. The spellcasting speed is greatly improved, and the cultivation speed can be increased by 50% from the original level!

Faced with such a rare body vein, which disciple would not be tempted?
But it is extremely difficult to obtain such a precious divine object. It is said that this kind of body meridian requires the collection of 77 rare immortal herbs, spiritual essence and spiritual fluid in the world. Even with the financial resources, connections and influence of the Yunshan Sect, it still took more than 60 years to successfully collect a copy!
Who will eventually get this pure glass body has become a major event in the sect.

The master was the most fair and just. He gave two places in the Tianxin Lotus Pond opened by Qinglian Zhenzong. One was given to Elder Lin Le, who was highly regarded by the public, and the other was given to Director Li Da after discussion in the Elders' Council.

If this happened in other sects, this precious opportunity that could speed up cultivation would basically be given to disciples with excellent qualifications and strong combat capabilities, allowing the strong to become stronger and lead the sect.

But the master said that Yunshan is everyone’s Yunshan, not the genius’ Yunshan!
When considering such opportunities, combat power only accounts for a part, or even a small part. We should focus on the disciples' loyalty, their achievements and contributions to the sect, and let those heroes who have silently contributed to the development of the sect have the opportunity to stand out!
In the past, Elder Lin Le and Director Li Da were in charge of the Business Department, Intelligence Department and General Staff Department. These were the Yunshan Sect's economic lifeline, network of ears and eyes, and brain center. Their status was extremely important and their tasks were extremely heavy, so much so that they could not even guarantee time for their own practice.

Although Director Li Da has the qualifications of three spiritual roots, his subsequent cultivation progress has been left behind by his uncle Wang Ruoyu who started practicing at the same time, and the gap is getting wider and wider.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the head of the sect gave this precious spot to the hard-working Director Li Da, allowing him to make up for the lack of time for practice. While he was filled with gratitude, all the disciples were convinced.

And now, the pure glass body is complete, and another precious opportunity has arrived.

The headmaster said that this is a serious matter and we cannot be partial. The backbone members of Yunshan Sect are all eligible to compete for this Pure Glass Body. We will use several years to carefully observe and see who is the most suitable user.

Therefore, in the past few years, the backbone members of Yunshan who had the hope of obtaining this body meridian, including Xiao Tianci, Zheng Duan, Tao Zhongxian, Su Yan, Wang Ruoyu, Cui Linglong, etc., have tried their best to accumulate merits for the sect, hoping to stand out in the end and obtain this pure glass body.

In particular, Master Xiao, who used to be less involved in the affairs of the sect, is now more active and has made many contributions in the past few years. Oh, and Master Jiang Baitao generously said that he would give the opportunity to outstanding disciples and would not participate in the competition.

Besides, it's a pity for Great-grandmaster Wang Yu. It is said that the technique he practiced was different, so neither the Heavenly Heart Lotus Pond nor the Pure Glass Body could be used.

Otherwise, whether in terms of merit, combat capability or seniority, he is the undisputed first choice.

As my thoughts were becoming increasingly scattered, the spiritual place at the mountain gate in front of me suddenly shone brightly!

The Jindan-level mountain protection formation was activated instantly, and fierce bells and horns were heard from the mountain gate.

An Fanghe's attention was instantly focused. He knew that the enemy had discovered the "Danxia Sect" team that was rushing towards the mountain gate, and a big battle was about to begin!

He glanced around and saw that the four teammates who were in the same boat with him all had tense expressions and tense bodies.

Looking around, most of my fellow students behave like this.

This is not surprising, because Cangzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and the three battalions here have a total of 600 disciples, and most of them have never experienced a real battlefield.

Even though the head of the sect attached great importance to the military training of his disciples, he regularly held large-scale military drills and offensive and defensive exercises in the nine northwestern counties of Cangzhou. The sect's martial arts performances were so crazy that they were held once every five years. He also sent disciples to the surrounding prefectures to take on tasks in the markets, to kill evil cultivators, exterminate monsters, encircle and suppress rebels, etc.

In addition, large competition platforms have been set up in Mianlong Mountain and Hanjiangzhu, where regular competitions with prizes are offered.

Therefore, even in peacetime, in An Fanghe's opinion, the martial virtues of the Yunshan disciples are still relatively abundant.

But it turns out that no matter how well it’s done, it can’t compare to a real battlefield!
The battle horn has only just sounded, and the solemn atmosphere makes people feel cold in their hearts. Only now do they realize that it is difficult to train elite soldiers without going through blood and fire.

This must be the purpose of the sect selecting elite troops, changing their appearance and entering Ningzhou to fight.

The battlefield opened up by the Yunshan Sect was only a small part of the entire battle. This battle was a battle of expansion and revenge led by the Danxia Sect.

Thirty years ago, the leader of Danxia Sect, Wu Shenzi, successfully overcame the great calamity of his inner demons and achieved the Nascent Soul Spirit Lord. From then on, Danxia Sect was promoted to the ranks of Nascent Soul sects and gained a new status in Ningzhou.

The Danxia Sect did not break its promise and formed a secret alliance with the Yunshan Sect. They shared trade routes and intelligence, exchanged various cultivation resources, and had a very close relationship.

In other words, after learning about the feat that Lu Qian had accomplished, the great reputation he had gained, and understanding the current status, strength, and potential of the Yunshan Sect, the Danxia Sect formed an alliance with the Yunshan Sect on a completely equal footing. In the past, they thought that the alliance was an act of repaying a favor, but now that is no longer the case.

The Danxia sect was once besieged. Although it finally survived with the help of the Yunshan sect, it also ceded half of the county's territory and lost many interests.

Now that the Danxia Sect has successfully advanced, and after another thirty years of planning, it finally launched a war of expansion this year, which is also a war of revenge, pointing the spearhead at the Yuanying Sect that once planned to block its infant formation.

The war between two Yuanying sects was not like the war between Jindan sects, where the winner would be decided after one or two big battles. They had many connections and subordinates, so in addition to calling friends and allies, mobilizing their own allies, and dispatching their own subordinates, they also had to divide, alienate, and attack each other's subordinates and allies, deploying their troops and battle lines, and intersecting each other.

Moreover, because the Nascent Soul Spirit Lord may also die under the siege of the Golden Core, the Nascent Souls of both sides will not be dispatched easily. Before the real critical moment appears, there are only chess pieces of both sides moving back and forth on the battlefield. It is normal for the battle to be stalemate with repeated tug-of-war.

Unless both sides act recklessly, it is normal for this battle to last for several years or even more than ten years.

It was under such circumstances that the Danxia Sect asked the Yunshan Sect for support. The Yunshan Sect also had a strong desire to train its disciples, so they hit it off and the Yunshan Sect sent a combat brigade, all of whom pretended to be Danxia disciples and detoured into Ningzhou to participate in the Danxia Sect's war of expansion.

Ordinary disciples use the identity of Danxia disciples, which is basically invisible to outsiders. As for foundation building and golden elixir, they can be said to be temporary guests hired by Danxia Sect.

In short, as long as the Danxia Sect holds on to its guns and the Yunshan Sect handles the situation cleanly, they will naturally not be caught by the enemy, nor will they be reported to the Xuanwei Sect for accusing them of undermining the positioning of the "Unconquered State".

The current battle is the first combat mission carried out by the Yunshan Sect after entering the battlefield.

Because the two sides were confronting each other on the front line, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was completely unaware of the appearance of Yunshan Sect, the divine soldiers descended from the sky and attacked from behind, intending to destroy the mountain gate of the enemy's Jindan sect, causing chaos and panic to the enemy, and creating opportunities for the front line.

According to the information provided by Danxia Sect, the large force of this Jindan Sect has already arrived at the front line, and there is only one Jindan left at the mountain gate, which makes him a very suitable target for Yunshan Sect.

The enemy's mountain gate was getting closer and closer, and An Fanghe sighed in his heart.

Well, it is true that fire can refine true gold, but once a war breaks out, I wonder how many of my fellow disciples will be buried in a foreign land.
does it worth?
At this moment, beams of light rose up from the opponent's mountain gate, and the enemy began to take off to defend.

An Fanghe frowned, and saw that the enemy had already deployed a large mountain protection formation, and it was obvious that they did not intend to rely on the formation to hold their ground.

Didn't they say that their main force was at the front? Why were they so confident?

An Fanghe's pupils dilated.

The enemy formation was seen dispersing, and two beams of light came forward, leading the way!

They are two Jindan!
The enemy has two Jindan here, the information is wrong!

We only have one Jindan, now——

Our own golden elixir rushed forward, flashing with five-colored light, and blocked the two enemy golden elixirs.

Elder of the Yunshan Sect, Director of the Transmission Department and Minister of the Intelligence Department, Lin Le!

The two enemy Jindans were both in the middle Jindan stage. At this moment, they sensed Lin Le's spiritual pressure with their spiritual sense, and their laughter resounded through the night sky.

"You have just reached the Golden Core stage, so you are in such a hurry to come here and seek death?"

Lin Le stood in the air, smiled slightly, and bowed to the two of them.

"I am Wanfa, and I have been ordered to kill you two. Please be on your way without further delay." (End of this chapter)
