Chapter 184 Lu Qinghan's Resolute Determination! A Bloody Battle Is About to Begin!
Zhu Jingyi broke the silence first, asking, "Are you sure that's Helian Shiyue?"
Lu Qinghan nodded, her tone extremely certain, and said, "I'm sure."
She founded the Soul Devouring Cult with the aim of seeking revenge against me and then destroying the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
In her eyes, the reason for the Helian family's downfall was the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
Upon hearing this, a thousand-foot-long fiery wind immediately appeared in the sky behind Zhu Jingyi!
His entire aura was enveloped in raging flames, as if a fire god had descended, and he said in a cold voice:
"What a joke! If the Helian family hadn't wanted to seize the Nascent Soul Pill and poison our grandmaster, how could this have happened!"
Now that we know that crazy woman is breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, what are we waiting for!
"Go straight to the Soul Devouring Cult's lair and wipe her out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to rush out of the sky and attack the Soul Devouring Cult.
However, it was completely suppressed by an even more terrifying aura.
"Lu Qinghan, what are you doing! Once she really breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us!"
However, facing Zhu Jingyi's questioning, Lu Qinghan did not back down at all this time, coldly replying:
"Even if it's more disadvantageous, it's better than losing your life!"
Since she dared to say it so openly, she must have made thorough preparations!
Do you think our trump card will be enough to kill her if we rashly go to the Soul Devouring Cult?
The only chance of survival now is to defend the Jiuhua Sword Sect to the death!
Only with the blessing of a mid-grade fourth-tier sect-protecting formation did we have a chance to defeat the Soul Devouring Sect!
If all else fails...
I will perish together with Helian Shiyue. In the end, I am the one she hates the most.
"At that time, I only ask that the two of you preserve the eternal foundation of my Nine Hua Sword Sect, and then spare Xia Xiangtian's life."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi calmed down, turned to look at Lu Qinghan, stared intently into his eyes, and asked:
Are you willing to accept this?
"Hahaha, Jingyi, you underestimate me, Lu Qinghan. Although I am greedy for power, I have never done anything to betray the sect!"
My master entrusted the sect to me before his death, so naturally I cannot stand by and watch it perish.
Moreover, having lived for nearly nine hundred years, that's long enough, and I'm tired of it all. Without children, I have nothing to miss.
The only person I can't let go of is Xia Xiangtian.
Would my two junior disciples be willing to agree?
Lu Qinghan looked at Hua Shisan and Zhu Jingyi.
His eyes were full of sincerity.
This was done after careful consideration.
His potential has been exhausted, and it is impossible for him to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Since he is going to die sooner or later, why can't he die to protect the sect?
In this way, even after his death, he can be remembered in history and be worthy of his ancestors and his master.
Zhu Jingyi didn't see anything unusual in his eyes, which proved that he wasn't lying.
They wouldn't dare lie about this.
She wanted to agree, but Hua Shisan stopped her.
He looked at Lu Qinghan and said, "Uncle-Master, we can agree to your request."
However, the only Nascent Soul Pill left in the sect is to be given to us.
Jian Yuntian's Golden Core has reached perfection.
With the Nascent Soul Pill, I can now begin my breakthrough.
Even if you die, my sect will still have three Nascent Soul cultivators to oversee things.
It can still stand at the top of the Eastern Tianlong Sea!
What do you think?
Lu Qinghan looked at Hua Shisan and said with a smile, "As expected of you, Shisan."
However, I cannot give you the Nascent Soul Pill; it is my safeguard for Xia Xiangtian.
Anyway, he's a member of the Sword Sect, not an outsider.
This statement may contain both truth and falsehood.
This truly provided Xia Xiangtian with a safeguard.
The fake one is the Nascent Soul Pill, which he has already promised to the patriarch of the Ancient Blade Sect.
He made him swear a blood oath that if Xia Xiangtian were ever in trouble, he would do everything in his power to save him.
Upon hearing Lu Qinghan's words, Hua Shisan pursed his lips and said, "If that's the case, then we'll have to see how things go."
If Xia Xiangtian doesn't behave, then don't blame your junior disciple for showing no mercy.
"That's natural." Lu Qinghan said calmly.
He was actually sighing to himself.
As expected, Hua Shisan is still the most troublesome one.
Forget it, he can't control what happens in the future.
He had a premonition that he would perish in this great calamity.
Even Zhu Jingyi and Hua Shisan would do it.
After all, the Soul Devouring Cult has more than just Helian Shiyue as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Looking at Hua Shisan, he tested him, asking, "If a bloody battle ensues, what will happen to the other forces that come to our aid?"
"It's alright. The highest cultivation level is only half a step into the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they are inside the great formation, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
"What if they don't choose to fight alongside us, but instead choose to withdraw?"
"Ignore them, lest we force them into the Soul Devouring Cult's camp. Once everything has settled down, we'll wipe out those forces one by one!"
"Not bad, Hua Shisan, you're very good. I feel very reassured with you in charge of the sect."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi subconsciously looked at Hua Shisan, secretly making up her mind.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the three parted ways, never once mentioning seeking help from other sea areas.
Because this will only hasten the destruction of the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
No matter how much they fight, they are still from the same sect, so they will naturally work together when facing external enemies.
However, if it's a Nascent Soul expert from another sea area or a rogue cultivator, then it's not necessarily the case.
There is a high probability that a backstab will occur.
Therefore, no one dared to gamble.
……
The years turn gently, summer goes and autumn comes.
More than four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In just four short months, the Eastern Tianlong Sea Area has undergone tremendous changes!
The Jiuhua Sword Sect was repeatedly defeated by the alliance of various forces. Despite their desperate resistance, they were still surrounded by the evil cultivators of the Soul Devouring Cult.
The members of the Soul Devouring Cult all believed that the Nine Hua Sword Sect was afraid of them.
That's why they didn't dare to confront them head-on, and only dared to carry out some small actions in the dark to launch surprise attacks on them.
Little did they know, this was Lu Qinghan's scheme, aimed at lulling the Soul Devouring Sect into complacency and fostering arrogance within them.
This way, the chances of winning will be greater.
Those who launched the surprise attack on the Soul Devouring Cult were not part of the plan.
This was Zhang Xuanchen's work.
Together with Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Guangyao and others, they adopted the strategy of retreating when the enemy advances and attacking when the enemy is exhausted, and launched an attack on the Soul Devouring Cult.
Each operation resulted in the deaths of several evil cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
The purpose was naturally to exchange for a second Golden Core Pill, since no one would complain about having too few of these things.
With the spirit peaches given by Zhang Xuanchen, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guanghan, Zhang Zongqian, and Zhang Zongyao all broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment in the past four months.
Apart from the patriarch Zhang Chongxian and his elder brother Zhang Xuanbing, everyone else also broke through a minor realm, after all, they had been stuck for several years or even decades.
Breakthroughs are quite normal.
The improvement in strength also made the task of killing a Foundation Establishment Peak evil cultivator much easier.
However, he did not let his guard down because of this. Before each mission, Zhang Xuanchen would make thorough preparations, especially regarding the retreat route!
