Chapter 103: The Calamity of Flying Flowers

"It is just that the enemy's strength is formidable; we cannot fight them head-on and must try our best to delay. Senior Sister, how long until the True Spirit Array is fully activated?"

"About seven or eight hours."

Linglong Xianzi pondered for a moment and said.

"What? It actually takes that long?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the female cultivators changed drastically.

"That is correct."

Linglong Xianzi nodded with a cold expression. If there were no True Spirit Array, could other formations alone withstand the attacks of these Golden Core old monsters for seven or eight hours?

"Junior Sister Li, go find the Martial Aunt immediately and ask her to preside over the overall situation. Since the opponent intends to finish this quickly, besides the Golden Core stage cultivators, those few late-stage Golden Core old monsters might also make a move."

A sharp glint flashed in Ji Ruxue's eyes as she spoke with a cold expression.

"Yes!"

A woman in palace attire bowed respectfully to Ji Ruxue, then a stream of light flickered around her body, and she transformed into a streak of light and shot away.

"Fellow Junior Sisters, there is no time to lose. Let us strike quickly; otherwise, the Disciples below will definitely not be able to block the attacks of these old monsters. Remember, do not fight to the death with the enemy. As long as we can stall them, once the True Spirit Array is activated, it will be time for us to counterattack."

"Indeed, although the Protective Sect Array has not been activated, we still occupy the advantage of time and location; blocking the enemy's attack should be no problem."

Although facing the assault of the Yin Corpse Sect and the Lianhun Sect, the Hehuan Sect had operated in this territory for ten thousand years and had laid out countless powerful formations. Wanting to take down the Hehuan Sect by such means was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

……

In an instant, with the Hehuan Sect as the center, for ten thousand miles around, it became a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses; the entire ocean turned into a bloody color.

Upon learning that the opponents were all Golden Core stage old monsters, the Hehuan Sect had all low-level Disciples retreat, while over a hundred Golden Core elders led several thousand Foundation Establishment female cultivators to meet the enemy.

One must know that between cultivators, every realm is a world of difference. Under normal circumstances, ten Foundation Establishment cultivators are no match for one Golden Core old monster. However, the Hehuan Sect's formations are remarkable; ten people can form the "Ten Directions Sword Rain" formation.

When ten people form the sword array, they can exert Golden Core stage strength, and stalling a Golden Core cultivator is absolutely no problem.

Whoosh! Just at this moment, at a location hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, a streak of light appeared in the void.

Within the escape light, needless to say, it was Su Zhangqing. Ever since Su Zhangqing learned the news of the great battle, he had not stopped for a moment, transforming into a streak of light and returning at high speed. At this time, the Yin Corpse Sect had fully mobilized, and their interior was empty; Shenguang Xianzi could take advantage of the weakness to enter, and she would surely be able to catch the opponent off guard.

The key to this battle lay in whether the Hehuan Sect could withstand this wave of attacks. If they could not, even if Shenguang Xianzi broke into the Yin Corpse Sect's headquarters, it would be of no use.

Now, his own strength had reached the mid-stage of Golden Core, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough; he was only one opportunity away from breaking through to the late-stage of Golden Core.

With his current strength, among those of the same rank, those who could surpass him were few and far between.

Although it was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Hehuan Sect's main headquarters, with his current escape speed, he could arrive in one or two hours.

Of course, this was also because Su Zhangqing practiced the Heaven-Covering Scripture, and the spiritual power within his body was more than dozens of times that of cultivators of the same rank; it was precisely because of this that he could persist in traveling for such a long time.

Otherwise, he would never dare to travel at full speed without regard for spiritual energy. After all, upon arriving at the Hehuan Sect, he would immediately face a hard battle. If the spiritual energy in his body was insufficient and the enemy took advantage of the gap, that would be a huge joke.

Hum! Above the ocean, it was rare to encounter practitioners. Even if they were met, those people only saw a streak of light flash by and then disappear directly, not even seeing the shadow of the other party. Those cultivators were naturally extremely terrified, knowing they had encountered some senior expert, and one by one they did not even dare to breathe loudly, being very honest and not daring to block him in the slightest. Su Zhangqing did not encounter any trouble along the way, transforming into a streak of light and flying toward the Hehuan Sect.

After a while, he entered the sphere of influence of Feihua Island.

Speaking of Feihua Island, the Feihua Market on Feihua Island was very famous; it could be said to be the largest market within ten thousand miles.

As the saying goes, those who live on the mountain live off the mountain, and those who live by the sea live off the sea.

In the depths of the ocean, there are countless demonic beasts. For cultivators, although there is danger everywhere, it also provides them with endless resources for cultivation; the demonic cores, bodies, and bones of demonic beasts are all precious Spirit Materials.

Cultivators by the sea live off the sea; the cultivators here usually make a living by hunting sea beasts.

Every time they go out to sea to hunt demonic beasts and obtain some beast materials, nine times out of ten they will sell them in the market, and Feihua Market is one of the largest markets in the sea region.

The market here was established by various major sects overseas. As the dominant existence in the outer sea, the Hehuan Sect held a fifty percent share of this market, while the other shares were taken by other forces.

The daily transaction volume was massive. The market purchased various demonic beast materials from treasure-hunting cultivators, including demonic cores, beast fur, and beast skeletons, and then resold them to inland cultivators in exchange for various medicinal pills, massive amounts of Spirit Stones, and various spirit herbs.

Simply put, this Feihua Market was a very important industry for the Hehuan Sect.

The resources here made people green with envy. Now that the Yin Corpse Sect and the Lianhun Sect had joined forces to kill, there was naturally no reason to let go of such a big piece of fat.

"Grab it!"

"Whether we can get rich depends on today!"

"Get away, all get away, it's all mine."

……

At this time, Feihua Island was already in complete chaos. The formations were wide open, like a light curtain covering the sky, shrouding the entire market.

However, this time, the number of cultivators from these two sects was too large, numbering in the tens of thousands, and there was no lack of Golden Core stage cultivators among them. The momentum was immense, and dealing with the small Feihua Market was naturally a very easy matter.

In a short while, seven or eight formations were broken. Following a burst of shouting and killing, these people pounced like wolves and tigers.

In front of treasures, everyone wished they could grow wings or grow a few more legs.

……

Just at this moment, Su Zhangqing arrived at Feihua Island. The formations of Feihua Island had just been broken by the cultivators, and the people from the Yin Corpse Sect and the Lianhun Sect had already killed their way into the market.

In an instant, five-colored brilliance flickered, Dharma Treasures danced wildly, and the sound of explosions kept reaching his ears.

"Hmm?"

Su Zhangqing's expression moved slightly. He naturally discovered the change ahead. After his escape light slowed down slightly, he landed.

At this time, Su Zhangqing was only about a hundred miles away from Feihua Island. At such a close distance, everything on Feihua Island was naturally clear to him.
