Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 343 Bloody Battle at Cangmang Peak
"Master Xu Mei, do you have a way to break this formation?"

On top of an unknown barren mountain, He Tai pointed at the three beams of light rising into the sky outside the Cangmang Peak and asked an old woman in flowery clothes beside him.

Three hours had passed since he officially gave the order to charge. The disciples of Lieyang Sect launched several waves of attacks, but they were repelled by Liu Hongye and others using the formation before they could even reach the edge of Cangmang Peak.

In desperation, He Tai had to turn to Xu Mei beside him for help. Xu Mei was his greatest reliance in this attack on the Song family.

Xu Mei was originally a disciple of a small sect. Due to her outstanding talent, she was trained as the successor to the sect master since she was young.

But she herself was vicious and arrogant. During a sect trial, she killed five of her fellow disciples just because of a quarrel due to a difference of opinion.

After the matter was exposed, she designed to kill the sect elders who came to question her, and then fled and became a casual cultivator.

Because of his extraordinary talent and the good fortune of inheriting the legacy of an important figure, Xu Mei soared to become one of the few third-level formation masters in Da Qi.

Therefore, many forces even ignored her past and extended olive branches to try to win her over, but she rejected them one by one.

Others just thought that she was idle and withdrawn, but they didn't know that she joined the Haoran Alliance when it was just emerging and became a veteran figure in the alliance.

This time, she was sent by the Haoran Alliance to help He Tai and others break the formation. In addition to her, the Haoran Alliance also sent a Purple Mansion cultivator to hide in the Lieyang Sect's team.

Hearing He Tai's words, Xu Mei took a few steps forward with his dragon-headed cane, looked around carefully, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Fellow Daoist He. The person who set up this formation has a good attainment in formation formation, and I can't see what it means for a while.

Let your disciples charge a few more times, and I will observe for a while, maybe I can find a way to break it."

He Tai himself knew nothing about formations, so he nodded and said, "Then I will notify Rong Mingtao and have the disciples of the two families make a joint charge to try to figure out the true and false formations. Master Xu will be responsible for breaking the formation."

"Of course." Xu Mei nodded slightly.

After He Tai left, an old man with purple hair suddenly appeared beside Xu Mei, looked in the direction He Tai left and asked, "He believes it now?"

"Hmph, so what if he doesn't believe me? In this battle, the only person he can rely on is me." Xu Mei sneered.

The [Three Mountains Chain Formation] is not a very advanced formation, and the method to break it is not difficult. With Xu Mei's attainments in formations, she can see it at a glance. There is no need for the disciples of Lieyang Sect and Rong family to continue making these meaningless sacrifices.

But she didn't tell He Tai the truth.

It was true that she came here to help He Tai defeat the Song family, but she had another more important mission, which was to prolong the war as much as possible, make the noise bigger, and preferably attract the attention of everyone in the Da Qi cultivation world.

Only in this way can the Haoran Alliance benefit from it.

"What a pity. I don't know what means that guy used to invite the Jinwu Sect. Otherwise, it would be more lively if Luoxia City got involved." The purple-haired old man smacked his lips, his tone full of regret.

"Hmph, Zhang Yu, you should be thankful that Luoxia City did not participate in the war, otherwise this battle would not be as easy as it is now." Xu Mei retorted bluntly. For her, protecting herself is the most important thing. As for the mission and the like, to hell with it.

Zhang Yu was not annoyed when he heard this, because in this respect, he and Xu Mei were the same kind of people.

He joined the Haoran Alliance just to make things easier. Do you want him to work for you? No way.

"Let's go back. Let them fight for a few days first." Xu Mei leaned on the dragon-headed cane and went down the mountain in just a few breaths.

On the other side, the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family have launched an attack again. This time, they have assembled nearly a thousand Qi-cultivating monks and fifteen foundation-building monks to attack together.

Looking at the overwhelming enemies coming at him, Liu Hongye felt his scalp tingling. He immediately contacted the other two peaks and activated the formation together.

A khaki light curtain descended from the sky, blocking the invading enemies.

The soldiers of Lieyang Sect and Rong Family were divided into four groups and launched frantic attacks on the formation from different directions. Various spells emerged one after another, and brilliant colors even changed the color of the sky.

Lingzhi Mountain guarded by Liuyun Sect was the first to bear the brunt of the attack and was subjected to the heaviest pressure. Fortunately, the formation was strong enough. Facing this tidal-like attack, it stood still like a mountain and was able to control the formation to counterattack.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. The disciples of both families were exhausted both physically and mentally, so they had to retreat, leaving behind dozens of corpses.

Seeing this, He Tai felt a little embarrassed. The two families came to attack the Song family with great momentum, but after fighting for a whole day, there were over a hundred casualties, and they couldn't even break through the other party's outer defense line. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it!
He looked at Xu Mei with a sullen face and asked, "Master Xu, have you figured out anything?"

Xu Mei sat upright on the couch, drooping her eyelids, and said calmly, "I have already made some progress. Please prepare all the materials on this list for me. I will set up a formation to fight with Song Xianming.

It takes time to set up a formation, and it cannot be destroyed. During this time, please continue to attack and paralyze the Song family. Once I have completed the formation, I can break the formation in front of me."

Hearing that she already had a way to deal with it, He Tai was overjoyed. The slight dissatisfaction that had just emerged in his heart disappeared immediately. He said with satisfaction: "Master, please rest assured that the materials will be ready soon. Tomorrow's offensive will be the same as before, and the Song family will definitely not notice it."

At this time, an old man suddenly stood up and said, "Master Xu, since we need to set up the formation, could you please tell us an approximate time limit so that we can formulate a plan? If it takes too long, I think we should take a long-term approach.

Otherwise, my people might not be able to handle it."

Even though the two families came out in full force this time, there are actually less than two thousand people.

Today is only the first day and the casualties have already exceeded a hundred. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid that the Song family will fall apart before they are destroyed.

Hearing this, Xu Mei's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, Brother Rong, the formation will be completed within five days. You just need to make sure I am not disturbed."

"Five days..." Rong Mingtao calculated in his mind for a while and found that it was still within the acceptable range, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to Master Xu."

…………

"The offensive seems to have weakened in the past few days. It can't be sustained now. It doesn't look very good." On the top of Cangmang Peak, Song Changjun looked at the motionless formation barrier, curled his lips, and spoke with some disdain.

Song Changan held the sword in his arms and warned in a deep voice: "It is a taboo to underestimate the enemy. Never underestimate any enemy. There is no chance to start over again in the world. You will suffer a great loss if you think like this!"

"My brother is right. I appreciate your teaching." Song Changjun bowed quickly. He seemed respectful on the surface, but he was quite disapproving in his heart.

In his opinion, the family's defenses were impregnable, and the enemies outside had no chance of breaking in. They would retreat in disgrace in no time. Song Changan and the others were making a fuss out of nothing.

Song Changan knew the character of his cousin, and he knew his true thoughts. It was not just Song Changjun, many people had similar mentality. It was just that the war went too smoothly in the past few days, so that everyone had no sense of crisis and urgency at the beginning, and instead had the illusion that Lieyang Sect and Rong Clan would retreat at any time.

Song Changan thought this was an extremely dangerous idea.

He didn't believe that the two old-line Zifu forces only had these few tricks.

As I was thinking about it, I heard a loud roar in my ears, followed by screams from the surrounding tribesmen.

He looked closely and saw a huge column of light rising into the sky. After reaching a certain height, it suddenly turned in the air and formed a huge azure blue sphere above the Cangmang Peak.

Dozens of white light beams as thick as water tanks shot out from the sphere and blasted towards the khaki light curtain formed by the Three Mountains Chain Array from different angles.

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by an earth-shaking sound, the khaki light curtain began to tremble violently under the bombardment of the light beam, and the light flickered unpredictably, as if it would go out at any time.

Song Xianming, who was originally sitting in the hall, suddenly stood up and blurted out: "Third-level formation!"

Yuan Tianshu and Song Luzhou, who were sitting opposite him, were stunned when they heard this.

"Uncle, neither the Rong family nor the Lieyang Sect is good at formations, so how could there be a third-level formation master?" Song Luzhou said in disbelief.

"Being in the Lieyang Sect's team doesn't mean he must be a member of the Lieyang Sect. I underestimated him after all." Song Xianming's face darkened. With the presence of a third-level formation master, the effectiveness of the clan protection formation would be greatly reduced.

"No wonder their offensive has seemed a little weak these past few days. It turns out they were trying to confuse the enemy."

At this moment, the questions in the minds of the three people were answered at the same time.

Song Xianming turned his head and looked at Song Luzhou and said, "Immediately deploy the clan protection formation and inform the clan members that the real fierce battle is coming."

Hearing this, Song Luzhou's heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and said, "Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a "crack" sound like broken glass, the khaki barrier suddenly shattered into pieces, and the three beams of light released by Lingzhi Mountain, Lingxiu Mountain and Yuzhu Mountain went out at the same time.

Seeing this, the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family were overjoyed and burst into thunderous cheers. Their morale, which had been somewhat low, became extremely high.

He Tai was even more aggressive and said, "Master Xu's moves are truly extraordinary. I wonder if you can also break the [Thousand Illusions Mystery Formation]?"

Hearing such an amateurish speech, Xu Mei almost laughed out of anger. She glared at him and said, "How can the formation be broken in one fell swoop? This formation can break through the [Three Mountains Linked Formation] in one fell swoop, entirely because I used the theory of the five elements to form a restraining relationship with it.

If you want to break the [Thousand Illusions Maze], you need to plan ahead.

In addition, the connection of the [Three Mountains Chain Formation] has only been severed, but it has not been completely broken. There is still a center of the formation on each of the three sacred mountains.

Fellow Daoist, you should immediately dispatch enough people, divide the troops into three groups, and seize the three sacred mountains at the same time. Only by removing the eye of the formation can this formation be completely broken. Otherwise, there is a danger of reconnection. "

"I see. I will send people to seize those three mountains right away!"

Upon hearing this, He Tai did not dare to delay, and immediately selected fifteen foundation-building monks and nine hundred Qi-cultivating monks, and divided them into three groups to attack the sacred mountain outside Cangmang Peak.

Although the formation has been broken, the position still needs to be held.

Faced with the aggressive enemy, Liu Hongye and his men led their disciples in a desperate fight with them. For a while, there were shouts, screams, and the roar of spells everywhere. The battle was in a stalemate from the very beginning.

At the same time, He Tai was not idle either. Together with Rong Mingtao, Zhang Yu and the black-robed man brought by Xueyan, he led the remaining cultivators to attack Cangmang Peak, leaving Xu Mei behind to think about how to break the formation.

At this moment, the [Thousand Illusions Maze] was operating at full capacity, and thick white fog was rising from the ground into the air, soon covering the entire mountain.

The disciples of Lieyang Sect and Rong Family lost their direction as soon as they entered, and felt that their cultivation and spiritual awareness were suppressed.

This strange situation made many people nervous, but the order was as heavy as a mountain, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to charge forward based on their intuition.

But gradually, they discovered to their horror that they could no longer sense the breath and presence of their fellow disciples. For a moment, the feeling of fear spread.

If the white mist brought fear to Lie and his companions, then what it brought to the Song clan cultivators was a feast of killing.

Song Changan, Song Lutong, Song Luyun and others took action upon hearing the news. The monks under their command split into small groups, merged into the white mist, and launched a counter-encirclement of the enemy from four directions!

A disciple of Lieyang Sect was walking when he was suddenly pierced through the chest by a red flying sword. The sharp sword energy shattered his heart in an instant.

Song Qingxia, dressed in red, walked out of the thick fog like a ghost, stretched out her hand and drew out a red sword, and whispered, "The first one."

Then it merged back into the thick fog and began to look for its next prey.

The same scene was being played out in various places on Cangmang Peak, but their methods of killing the enemies were different.

Song Qinghong chose to set up the formation in advance, and then deliberately exposed his whereabouts to lure the enemy into a trap.

However, Song Qingshi chose a simpler and more brutal approach, using his fists to kill every opponent he met.

The killing took place in the thick fog. In order to defend their homeland, the Song family members fought a bloody battle with the invading enemy.

Here, everyone may die, and no one knows if the next body falling to the ground will be themselves, but they have no choice but to charge forward with swords in hand and blood!

The battle in the Qi training battlefield was fierce, and the battle in the foundation building battlefield was even more intense.

Although the Lieyang Sect had a slight advantage in terms of numbers, the Song Clan had a large formation as a support, which made them slightly more powerful...
