Chapter 684: Extermination of the Sect
"Ancestor, we have already blockaded all sides of Qingding Mountain... but news leaked out earlier, and a few Qingding Sect cultivators still managed to break through."
A streak of light descended before the Coalition of cultivators; it was Li Jiantong, who now bowed to report.
"No matter... if the small fry have run, let them run. As long as those key targets haven't escaped, it is fine..."
Aaron waved his hand.
In such a massive battle of annihilation, it was impossible for a few fish to slip through the net.
And the key targets were naturally those Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, especially the younger ones, as well as those genius cultivators with Different Spirit Roots or Heavenly Spirit Roots...
In short, the standard was whether they had the potential to reach Golden Core!
He entered it and saw the entrance to a secret passage, as well as a girl with several Storage Bags hanging on her, holding a High-grade Magical Tool in her hand, her face full of fear.
"Everyone... the sect has raised us for hundreds of years; today is the day to die for righteousness!"
Boom—!
They were even secretly taken in as Personal Disciples by Qingyunzi, prepared to be carefully nurtured so they could inherit his mantle in the future!
Such precious gems should have been in the first batch of people to break through.
Aaron, however, strolled leisurely, transforming into a faint, elusive streak of light, wandering through the fray, hidden and traceless. Only when he encountered cultivators above Foundation Establishment would he carelessly flick out a strand of Invisible Sword Qi to send them on their way...
"Begin!"
"What are you still standing there for? Immediately prepare for battle with all your strength... open the entire sect Spirit Stone treasury. Anyway, if the Array Formation is broken, we are all finished!"
The old Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke with a stern, harsh voice, like a fierce ghost crawling out of hell.
Fire Hair then looked at Dong Wenxin and secretly transmitted his voice: "Stay near the secret chamber. Once the battle turns unfavorable, immediately escape through the secret passage... inside the secret passage, there are three more Storage Bags, all of which are the sect's accumulated foundation of many years!"
The entire Great Array trembled violently, and then all the Forbidden Techniques began to collapse... revealing the vital points of the Qingding Sect's mountain gate!
With one Golden Core Cultivator coordinating the Dharma Power of dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators, under the guidance of a Second-tier Array Master, they could violently attack for several days, competing with the Array Formation's Spirit Stone consumption, and likely break this array by brute force.
"Kill all the Qingding Sect cultivators, leave none alive!"
"Wenxin, remember this person for me, the Li Family Golden Core—Li Qingjing!"
"Hmm... do it, but change the method and position of the attack."
That family array cultivator's eyes nearly popped out: "The Ancestor is actually a Third-tier Array Master?!"
Especially after a red-haired Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator died at Aaron's hands, large-scale routs and surrenders appeared among the Qingding Sect cultivators.
"You... are you the Li Jia Lao Zu?!" Dong Wenxin's voice carried a sobbing tone, appearing quite pitiful.
Although this Cave Abode was protected by a Forbidden Technique, Aaron broke it with a casual sword strike.
But it did not matter; he could adjust accordingly on his side.
Fire Hair took the Array Disk and saw that a coalition of cultivation families and small sects had already surrounded Qingding Mountain on all sides.
With a Golden Core Cultivator suppressing the formation, and the defending side's Great Array already broken, it was simply like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
As for the rest of the small fry, in a tiny, broken place like the Far West with such barren resources, it was basically impossible for them to reach Golden Core, so there was no hope of revenge.
"Hmm, your name is 'Dong Wenxin'? Wood-type Heavenly Spirit Root?" Recalling the information obtained from soul-searching earlier, Aaron sighed: "Your ancestors came from Dongmen Valley and were a branch of the Dongmen family?"
"Ancestor... we received news that the Qingding Sect has already requested aid from the outside... the Wanhua Valley of the Ding Kingdom might intervene!"
Spare an enemy with infinite potential just because of a friendship from hundreds of years ago?
Although Aaron had some friendship with Donglong, how many generations ago was that?
Furthermore... ever since that generation moved here, the Dong family had been Qingding Sect disciples for generations and had long since become shaped by the Qingding Sect.
"Divide yourselves into five teams, take turns holding the Array Disks, and listen to my orders to inject Dharma Power!"
The young girl's voice carried a sob.
Under his urging, those Array Masters seemed as if they had been whipped, and they began to act as if waking from a dream.
"The Shen Family, the Three Beasts Sect... all a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"
The Forbidden Technique that originally shrouded the entire Qingding Mountain was beginning to fall apart at a rapid speed!
"Breaking an array with an array?"
Plus, the situation at the time was unclear, and rashly breaking through might have led to being ambushed by the Li Jia Lao Zu waiting outside the array.
Aaron directly threw out several Array Disks, divided the Foundation Establishment cultivators below into five teams, and then had each stand at a specific position.
"Don't cry, Martial Uncle is already over one hundred and eighty, and he is at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage; the target is too big... this battle is certain death... but you are a cultivator the Ancestor thinks highly of, you must survive, survive, and then take revenge for the sect!"
A sect Array Master held the Array Disk and said tremblingly.
'But it doesn't matter... even if someone with a heaven-defying opportunity appears, as long as they don't hide until Nascent Soul before coming for revenge... even if I, this Ancestor, cannot beat them, I can still run away using the Invisible Evasion Technique!'
Shouts of killing rose to the sky, and among them, there was no shortage of countless red-eyed cultivators looting wantonly...
At any time, there is no shortage of those who are loyal and unyielding, nor is there a shortage of turncoats!
"Heavenly Spirit Root?"
"Martial Uncle Fire Hair... the enemy is here!"
Fire Hair cursed: "If I had known today would come, I should have advised the Qingyun Old Monster to wipe out all these forces!"
Another Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small sect spoke up: "There is no time to lose, please, Ancestor, give the order to act immediately and exhaust the Great Array!"
This person was indeed a bungler; although he marked the weak point of the array, it was not hitting the snake's seven inches.
In the end, he still had to expose some of his own trump cards and take action personally.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, do not kill me... I have secret intelligence; there is still a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator hidden in the sect, the person is right in the secret passage, I know where the secret passage is!"
Seeing this, those family cultivators were greatly encouraged, and countless streaks of light flew and rushed into the Qingding Sect.
"This age doesn't look old... to actually be at Qi Refining Perfection already, truly a Heavenly Spirit Root."
Therefore... Dong Wenxin actually remained in the sect.
This Dong Wenxin came from near Qingding Mountain; her ancestors for generations were Qingding Sect cultivators, she was of pure lineage and also possessed exceptional talent...
And... the more flustered the opponent, the easier it is for them to make mistakes!
Whoosh!
After changing the Array three times, Aaron flew into the Array Formation, raised his hand to flick out a Sword Light dozens of feet long, and slashed fiercely at a certain mountain peak, destroying most of it.
Aaron grabbed the other party, cast the Soul Searching Technique, and then folded his figure to arrive outside an inconspicuous Cave Abode deep within the Qingding Sect.
Under his direction, a layer of hazy Light emerged upon those Array Disks, which then connected to form an illusory Array Formation.
"As long as we hold out for three days, the Wanhua Valley Ancestor will surely come to our aid!"
"Martial Uncle..."
"So what if I am?" The girl raised her neck defiantly.
Aaron looked at the other party, then looked at the secret passage, and couldn't help but smile: "It is fortunate... that the Immortal Cultivation World does not yet have teleportation arrays, otherwise you really would have run away!"
Aaron gazed at the thin mist beginning to diffuse within the Qingding Sect, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Aaron did not want to be sought out for revenge by someone one day!
'From a probabilistic standpoint... this possibility shouldn't be very high, right?'
This Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator shouted again, boosting morale.
Inside the Array Formation, Qingding Sect cultivators gathered on the plaza in front of the sect; among them, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator with fire-red hair and beard was clutching a girl's hand, his eyes blood-red as he exhorted: "If the Great Array is broken later, I will protect you and get you out even if it costs me my life... You must cultivate diligently in the outside world and avenge the sect!"
"I don't care whose descendant you are; danger must be nipped in the bud..."
Aaron glanced sideways at that family Array Master.
However, the news of Qingyunzi's fall was too shocking, and there were still some power struggles within the sect.
A Second-tier Array Master from a family background looked at the Great Array from afar, his expression very grave.
"Ancestor... this Five Elements Maze Array has a vast range and is divided into several sub-arrays: defense, confusion, entrapment, and killing... Even if we break the outer perimeter and enter, we will immediately be trapped by the confusion array... Meanwhile, Qingding Sect cultivators can move freely within it, which is extremely disadvantageous for us."
Clearly, that was the sect's Array Master, who was frantically making adjustments.
What awaited them, however, was a Sword Light!
Pfft!
No matter how superior one's Spirit Root aptitude is, once the head is separated from the body and one becomes a corpse, it is of no use.
Just a single attempt was comparable to the effect of numerous cultivators attacking fiercely for an hour; this is the power of an Array Master!
'Not only an Array Master, but I also have the memories of Qingdan... I can be said to know the flaws and weaknesses of this Five Elements Maze Array inside and out.'
Then, dozens of streaks of Light landed outside the Array Formation; they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators!
A Qingding Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted.
Outside the Array Formation.
The Five Elements Maze Array... was broken!
"Kill!"
A large amount of mist emerged, intertwining with the Forbidden Technique of the Five Elements Maze Array, and then a strange change occurred...
After all, this is the foundation of a Golden Core Sect built over thousands of years!
The reason those small Foundation Establishment forces agreed to form a Coalition, besides the general trend and beating a dog in the water, was that they were eyeing this!
Everything seemed no different from that night when the Sanshan Association was destroyed...
Aaron weighed the situation and felt that the hope of turning the other party into one of his own was not high, and the potential danger was also very high, with too many variables...
And since he had no need for possession or corpse refining, he could only invite her to die...
