Chapter 694: The Ruined Mountain Gate

The disciples of the Shangling Sect began a great breakout.

The Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect naturally did not want the high-level members of the Shangling Sect to break out and run away; if it were only the Qi Refining stage, or even the Foundation Establishment stage, they would not care at all.

After all, relying solely on these Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, there was no threat to the two major forces.

But Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivators were different; if they really carried out destruction, the two major forces would not want to have peace in the future.

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

Zhang Laozu looked at the figures chasing quickly toward the Shangling Sect and asked doubtfully.

"We will stay here for the time being and see if there are any good things left in the Shangling Sect's mountain gate."

Lu Qingshan would not choose to pursue those remnants of the Shangling Sect who were fleeing; the relationship between the two sides was not that of life-and-death enemies. Of course, after this battle, their Zixiao Sect would inevitably be regarded as enemies by those remnants of the Shangling Sect.

But they were not afraid.

After all, if these people wanted revenge, they would first go toward the Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect; even if someone wanted to take revenge on the Zixiao Sect, they would have to go to Zheng State.

In Zheng State, wanting to take revenge on the Zixiao Sect—the difficulty of that can be imagined.

The current Zheng State, under the management of the Zixiao Sect, can be said to be as solid as a golden soup.

The Zixiao Sect itself, which merged the Su Family, the Taihe lineage, and the Yunyang Sect, occupied more than 70% of Zheng State's power.

The rest were some Foundation Establishment families and those loose cultivators, because the Zixiao Sect insisted on following the original philosophy of the Su Family, and there was even less oppression for loose cultivators.

So the cultivation environment in Zheng State was very good, and naturally, those Zheng State cultivators were more convinced by the Zixiao Sect, and their reputation was getting better and better.

If you, an outsider cultivator, want to stir up trouble in Zheng State, I am afraid that before you can stir anything up, you will be exposed first.

"This Shangling Sect's mountain gate, I am afraid there is nothing left, right?"

Zhang Laozu shook his head; the Shangling Sect was not a fool and would certainly consider this point, inevitably collecting all the good things in the sect in advance. I am afraid that those high-level inheritances were already in the storage rings of those Golden Core cultivators.

Lu Qingshan naturally knew this very well.

But fortunately, he had already discussed it with the Huangfu Family and the others before; their Zixiao Sect sent troops, and in the future, when they obtained the Shangling Sect's inheritance, especially various cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and the inheritance of the hundred arts of cultivation, their Zixiao Sect would have to copy a set.

So Lu Qingshan did not care; even if they really did not get the Shangling Sect's inheritance, so what?

The current Zixiao Sect's inheritance, although not comparable to major sects like the Yuanding Sect, was not lacking in cultivation techniques to reach the Nascent Soul stage; five-element attributes, wind, thunder, ice, etc., were all very complete.

As for the hundred arts of cultivation, they all had fourth-grade ones, which were very complete.

It was enough for the Zixiao Sect's development.

Wanting the Shangling Sect was just to increase the Zixiao Sect's foundation; in reality, in their eyes, the Danhe Sect's inheritance might be even more precious.

Because the Danhe Sect was an alchemy sect, there were many alchemy techniques in the sect, especially pill formulas; it is said that they even had fifth-grade pill formulas.

On this point, the Zixiao Sect was a bit worse; although the Zixiao Sect also had several types of fourth-grade pill formulas, it was certainly worse than the Danhe Sect.

There was no way around this; the Zixiao Sect had been established for too short a time.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan and the others did not care, because they had a Nascent Soul cultivator behind them, and he was a great cultivator who would reach the late Nascent Soul stage in the future.

When the time comes, the Zixiao Sect can slowly collect them.

Time is the Zixiao Sect's greatest weapon; they have sufficient time and do not fear any interference or threats from the outside world.

Even the Yuanding Sect, they do not need to fear.

And the Yuanding Sect would not easily take action against the Zixiao Sect, unless the Zixiao Sect had the strength to threaten the Yuanding Sect; however, by that time, even if the two sides did not take action, it would not work.

Lu Qingshan and Zhang Laozu stayed behind, and of course, there were also the accompanying Purple Mansion cultivators; they entered the Shangling Sect's sect.

The Shangling Sect's mountain gate was much larger than their original Yunyang Sect; the main peak of the Shangling Sect even possessed a fifth-grade spiritual vein, which was also the largest spiritual vein land in Chen State.

Hundreds of acres of spirit fields were opened on it, but at this moment, the spirit fields were already pitted and bumpy, and the spirit rice and the like that were originally planted had all been destroyed.

Even the spirit fields had been polluted; obviously, it was done by the Shangling Sect disciples—if I don't have it, I won't leave it for the enemy.

As for the spiritual vein, it was not destroyed; after all, spiritual veins are not so easy to destroy.

The buildings of the mountain gate were still there; Lu Qingshan and the others naturally went to the Shangling Sect's Scripture Pavilion first; every sect had a Scripture Pavilion that stored the sect's inheritance.

This was precisely the goal of Lu Qingshan and the others.

Even if the Shangling Sect wanted to take these inheritances away, I am afraid their storage space was simply not enough.

After all, even the Yunyang Sect's Scripture Pavilion of that year had a collection of a million volumes, some of which were stored with jade slips, but it also required a thousand acres of land.

Not only did Lu Qingshan and the others come, in reality, Golden Core cultivators from the Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect also arrived.

The two sides nodded to each other and quickly walked into the Shangling Sect's Scripture Pavilion; the Shangling Sect's Scripture Pavilion was a tower-shaped building, a full six stories high, nearly forty zhang tall, layer by layer, with the first floor being the largest, occupying nearly three hundred acres of land.

After walking in, there were wooden shelves for placing books everywhere; these wooden shelves were first-grade high-tier spirit wood, which could be fireproof.

However, at this moment, the wooden shelves on the first floor were all tilted, and many books on them were also torn apart.

Obviously, they had been destroyed, but it seemed that because there was no time, more than half were still lying intact on the wooden shelves.

As for the books on the first floor, everyone present did not care, because they all knew that there were many books on this floor, but they were also the least valuable.

They were all things needed by Qi Refining cultivators, or travelogues from various places.

Everyone headed toward the higher floors.

The higher they went, the smaller the floor area, but the content of the books was certainly more precious.

As for the array of this Scripture Pavilion, there was no one presiding over it at the moment, and it had already been destroyed.

"Sure enough, many of the ones above have already been taken away."

The area of the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors was much smaller, and the wooden shelves above were all made of second-grade or even third-grade spirit wood.

And some were made of jade.

And they were all composed of individual rooms.

Everyone searched for a while, and almost nothing was left; even if there were some leather, wooden plates, or paper books, they had all been destroyed.

If they wanted to restore them, it would also take a certain amount of time and cost.

As for those jade slips, not a single one was left; obviously, they had all been taken away.

On this point, everyone had long been mentally prepared and was not too disappointed.

Turning around, Lu Qingshan and the others headed toward another place, the Shangling Sect's treasury; he hoped that there would be quite a few good things left inside. ===== CHAPTER 695 =====
