Chapter 62 The Qingyun Sect Attacks
After Guo Xinghe and the other Qingyun Sect disciples returned, they explained what had happened in the secret realm to the sect's higher-ups, which immediately enraged the Qingyun Sect's leadership.
“Vice Sect Master Jiang, the disciples of the White Tiger Sect have been massacring our sect’s disciples in the secret realm. I suggest we destroy the White Tiger Sect!” Song Yu said, looking at a middle-aged man who sat at the head of the hall.
This person is Jiang Dongxu of the Qingyun Sect, who serves as the sect's vice sect leader.
"Hey, Junior Brother Song, don't be impulsive. Our Sect Master is currently in seclusion, trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, the White Tiger Sect has a long and rich history, so we must not act rashly!" Jiang Dongxu said calmly.
"Vice Sect Master, are we just going to let this loss go to waste? I can't swallow this!" Song Yu asked incredulously.
"Don't rush, we will definitely get our revenge, but not now. The White Tiger Sect's Grand Elder doesn't have much time left. Once he passes away, no one from the White Tiger Sect will escape!" Jiang Dongxu said slowly.
"What do our two Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Azure Cloud Sect have to fear from the White Tiger Sect? I could wipe them out in a heartbeat! Why be so timid?" Song Yu said loudly.
“Junior Brother Song, you don’t know that the White Tiger Sect has a thousand-year history. Their mountain-protecting formation is even more impregnable. If the other side has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, our sect’s two Nascent Soul cultivators will not gain much advantage!”
"Is your mountain-protecting formation really that powerful?" Song Yu asked incredulously.
"Last time, when the Nascent Soul stage elder of the White Tiger Sect was injured, he still managed to escape with the help of the mountain-protecting formation."
"I see."
“Vice Sect Master Jiang, since the White Tiger Sect’s protective formation is so powerful, I suggest we study how to break it in advance,” a handsome middle-aged man stepped forward and said slowly.
This person is named Liu Qingxuan, an inner sect elder of the Qingyun Sect. The cultivator Ye Xiaobai encountered when searching for treasures near Shizhong Mountain was his disciple.
"Junior Brother Liu, so you have some good ideas?" Jiang Dongxu asked with a hint of curiosity.
“Exactly. I have a disciple who is skilled in formations. If I let him study the White Tiger Sect’s protective formation, he might come up with a solution,” Liu Qingxuan quickly said.
"That's wonderful! Where is he? Why not bring him here so everyone can see him?" Jiang Dongxu said excitedly.
"He's right outside the hall. I'll send him a telepathic message and let him in!"
"Mo Haiyun, come in quickly!"
Soon a chubby young cultivator entered the main hall.
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master Jiang, Master, and all senior uncles and masters!" After entering the hall, the young man respectfully bowed to his elders.
"Xiao Mo, I heard you're skilled in formations, but do you have any thoughts on how to break the White Tiger Sect's protective formation?" Jiang Dongxu asked directly and kindly.
"Vice Sect Master, you flatter me. I do have some knowledge of formations, but since I have never seen the White Tiger Sect's protective formation, I naturally do not know how to break it," Mo Haiyun said calmly.
"Hey, so you mean if I show you that great formation, you can break it?" Jiang Dongxu said excitedly.
“Vice Sect Master, I cannot guarantee it, but if I spend some time studying it, I should be able to come up with some ideas on how to crack it.”
"Alright, alright! Junior Brother Liu, are you planning to let me take Xiao Mo to see the White Tiger Sect's protective formation?" Jiang Dongxu turned around and looked at Liu Qingxuan with a smile.
“That’s right!” Liu Qingxuan nodded in confirmation.
"Alright, let's go find the White Tiger Sect and get an explanation about the secret realm. We can also let Xiao Mo see the formation while we're at it!"
……
Three hours later, at the foot of the White Tiger Sect.
The deputy sect leader of Qingyun Sect arrived at the foot of the mountain with more than a dozen Core Formation stage cultivators and Mo Haiyun.
The disciples guarding the White Tiger Sect were immediately taken aback upon seeing this, thinking, "Is the Azure Cloud Sect here to destroy our White Tiger Sect? So many Core Formation stage cultivators have come!" They then sent a telepathic message to their sect leader.
A moment later, Han Chuanming, the sect leader of the White Tiger Sect, arrived at the mountain gate with a group of inner sect elders and disciples. They were greatly shocked by the scene before them.
After calming down a bit, Han Chuanming said composedly, "Vice Sect Master Jiang, what are you doing bringing so many Core Formation cultivators from the Qingyun Sect to our White Tiger Sect? You don't intend to destroy our White Tiger Sect with this, do you?"
"Sect Master Han, how dare you ask me that? Your White Tiger Sect harmed many disciples of my Azure Cloud Sect in this secret realm. Shouldn't you give our Azure Cloud Sect an explanation?"
Jiang Dongxu said angrily.
"Vice Sect Leader Jiang, what you're saying sounds rather ridiculous. When you're out and about, you're bound to encounter some misfortune. Many of our White Tiger Sect cultivators have died, and we haven't even settled accounts with your Azure Cloud Sect yet, but you've come looking for us first!"
Han Chuanming said with a light laugh.
"Very well, Sect Leader Han is quite good at making excuses. If a disciple dies, that's fine."
"Our inner sect elder was plotted against and killed by your sect's disciples, Ye Xiaobai, Tang Chao, and others. We must give an explanation for this, otherwise we will have no way to explain it to the other inner sect elders of our Qingyun Sect!"
Jiang Dongxu said angrily.
"This..." Han Chuanming was still thinking about how to deal with it when he heard Liu Changqing, the peak master of Lingjian Peak, say with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, if your sect's inner sect elder dies, you come to us. But if our sect's elder dies, who do we come to?"
"When did your White Tiger Sect elder die in the secret realm?" Jiang Dongxu roared.
"Then when did your Qingyun Sect elder die in the secret realm?" Liu Changqing asked with a smile.
"Very well, I didn't expect the White Tiger Sect to be a bunch of empty talkers. Do you dare to have a friendly spar with us Qingyun Sect cultivators?" Jiang Dongxu mocked.
Upon hearing the mockery from the Qingyun Sect, Liu Changqing immediately prepared to go out and fight them. Han Chuanming, fearing a trap, quickly stopped Liu Changqing.
Facing the dozen or so Core Formation stage cultivators from the Qingyun Sect, Han Chuanming dared not let the White Tiger Sect cultivators easily defeat him. He could only apologize and say, "Vice Sect Master Jiang, most of our sect's Golden Core stage elders are currently in seclusion and it is inconvenient for us to spar. We will definitely fulfill Vice Sect Master Jiang's request when there is an opportunity in the future."
"Alright, Sect Master Han, if you don't even meet this request, don't blame my Golden Core cultivators for going berserk!" Jiang Dongxu turned around and gave the group of Core Formation cultivators a look.
"Sect Leader Jiang, what do you intend to do?" Han Chuanming asked with slight concern.
Jiang Dongxu didn't answer, he just laughed. The remaining dozen or so Golden Core cultivators immediately lined up, took out all sorts of magical treasures, swords, spears, halberds, and so on, and after circulating their spiritual power, they began to desperately attack the White Tiger Sect's mountain gate.
Seeing the situation, Han Chuanming immediately activated the mountain-protecting formation to its fullest extent; otherwise, many White Tiger Sect cultivators present would have been in grave danger. At the same time, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat, and then the sound of magic weapons colliding with the mountain-protecting formation could be heard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Fortunately, the formation's defensive capabilities were astonishing, and the Qingyun Sect cultivators were unable to break through it despite their best efforts.
Jiang Dongxu was naturally aware of the ingenuity of this formation; he was simply taking the opportunity to attack it so that Mo Haiyun could study it thoroughly.
An hour later, when everyone's spiritual energy was almost depleted, they put away their magical treasures and stopped attacking.
"Sect Master Han, your sect's protective formation is indeed formidable. However, disciples of the White Tiger Sect should be extra careful when venturing out in the future! If anything unexpected happens..."
"Hahahaha!"
Jiang Dongxu smiled and led the Qingyun Sect cultivators away before Han Chuanming could reply.
It took Han Chuanming a while to catch his breath. Fearing that the Qingyun Sect might actually break through the mountain-protecting formation, he then told everyone not to leave the sect for the time being and to focus on their secluded cultivation.
