My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

277 The Battle Begins!

Thank you readers!

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, obscuring the sun and moon and making it impossible to discern whether it was day or night.

At the Nine Dragons sect, everyone frowned and hurriedly carried various items through the area.

“Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, go to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and put on your armor!” Li Buhu shouted from atop a tall building, addressing the Nine Dragons sect disciples below. “The mission I gave you a few days ago, it’s time to take action.”

He looked down at the disciples who called back to him, “Brother Hu, the county governor’s mansion’s troops in the city are just a feint! Their main forces are at the back of the mountain!”

In a short while, the Nine Dragons sect’s disciples felt a surge of energy within them.

“Even if it’s a feint, we must guard the main entrance. Brother-in-law and the others will be attacked from both sides.” Li Buhu gritted his teeth. He wanted to join the battle at the back mountain, but his mission was to prevent the Nine Dragons sect’s main entrance from being breached by the small team from the county governor’s mansion.

He knew his father and brother-in-law had their own selfish motives for making such arrangements: to preserve the fresh blood of the Li family and the Nine Dragons sect, ensuring their legacy and hope. After all, the Nine Dragons sect’s fate seemed sealed in this battle.

“Damn it. If only I were stronger, the Nine Dragons sect wouldn’t be in such a sorry state today,” Li Buhu muttered, clenching his teeth and trembling with anger. “If only I had my sister’s strength.”

On the other side, Zou Shuang and Ji Yuan donned blood-red robes, coldly staring at the mountain. The Sacred Heart sect disciples behind them eyed the Nine Dragons sect martial artists on the mountain like a pack of hungry wolves.

“Twenty thousand against four thousand, a five to one advantage… What a staggering edge,” Ji Yuan sneered. “It’s said that the Nine Dragons sect’s warriors have split into two groups, attempting to stop our alliance army with the county governor’s mansion. If I remember correctly, the strongest person in the Nine Dragons sect is the Li family’s patriarch, Li Zeren, who has reached the fourth-level bone pattern realm? I’ve never fought such a formidable battle.”

“Take your medicine!” both the Sacred Heart sect and the county governor’s mansion ordered simultaneously.

As if by unspoken agreement, both parties took their pills at the same time. And then, the combined army began its ascent up the mountain.

After that

The army cascaded down the mountain like a flood, and wails echoed through the mountains.

Zou Shuang and Feng Xigu’s expressions slowly turned to shock.

“What happened? How did Qin Huai manage to neutralize all the poisons in such a short period?”

“He didn’t even leave a trace of spider silk for transportation?”

Feng Xigu’s face revealed a complicated expression. He quickly guessed that the people from the Fengxing Auction House were involved. In the entire Lingjiang county, only the Fengxing Auction House could accomplish such a feat under his watch. Even the Twin Extreme sect couldn’t do it.

But he couldn’t understand when the people from the Fengxing Auction House had colluded with the Nine Dragons sect. What did they see in the Nine Dragons sect? Could it be that the Feng family, who had been deeply rooted here for nearly two hundred years, were inferior to the Nine Dragons sect led by the inexperienced Qin Huai?

After some time, Feng Xigu raised his head and seemed to see a beautiful figure in red on the mountain peak. She stood at the summit, looking down at them.

“Ants, do you feel my husband’s vast white dragon aura?!” Her voice, as loud as rolling thunder, reverberated down the mountain.

Feng Xigu couldn’t help but want to stomp his feet and curse. “You’re telling me this is the damned aura of a white dragon?” If it was the poison dragon force, he could still believe it.

The faces of the soldiers on the ground turned purple.

Feng Xigu looked at the countless dead and injured soldiers on the ground, his heart aching. Before they could reach the mountain, they had already lost one to two thousand soldiers.

Killing intent appeared in Song Ya’s eyes as well. The battle with the Balance Army lasted for more than two months, and only three to four thousand people died. Now, at the foot of Nine Dragons Mountain, half of them perished in the blink of an eye.

At the mountain peak, Li Shaoxiang looked down at the vast army before her and the disparity in strength between the two sides. There was no fear in her eyes. The fanaticism and confidence that emanated from the depths of her heart made the hearts of the many disciples behind her swell with courage.

“I knew it. Someone like the sect master must have a backup plan.”

“If there’s no backup plan, would the sect master’s wife be so confident?”

“That’s right. If the Nine Dragons sect is broken, the ones who will suffer the most will definitely be important figures like the sect master and his wife.”

A slightly mysterious, chubby disciple holding a horsetail whisk as a weapon looked serious. “It’s the confidence that comes from being sure of winning.”

“Look, there’s no sign of the sect master around. He must be holding back some powerful weapon.”

“You’re right. Perhaps the sect master is right behind those bastards from the county governor’s mansion!”

Li Zeren, who was behind them, looked at the high-spirited disciples and smiled bitterly in his heart. He hadn’t expected that his daughter would play such a crucial role in this life-and-death situation.

It had to be his son-in-law. His moves were truly unpredictable. He had thoroughly influenced Shaoxiang and used her to perfection, showcasing her talents vividly.
