Chapter 333



333 Chapter 332-old bootlicker

Apart from Yan city, Lu Qing was also very concerned about the situation at the front line in Pingzhou.

No matter what happened in Yan city, the frontline of Pingzhou was the root of everything.

Although the front line in Pingzhou had not started fighting when Lu Qing took action to deal with li Shiwen, the possibility of a full-scale war breaking out could not be completely ruled out.

Once the flames of war were ignited and Yunxiao sect or the Yan Kingdom lost, the Yan Kingdom would suffer a serious injury at the very least, the kind where their backbones were broken. If the Wei Kingdom was a little more wild and did not care about their appetites, they might even become Wei citizens.

If that was the case, then all the trouble that the Lu family had caused in Yan city would be a joke.

Lu Qing did not wish for such a thing to happen. If there was a need to, he would even consider taking out another revival exchange option and teleporting to the front lines to personally participate in the battle.

Although there were Dharma adepts on the battlefield, and nascent soul cultivators couldn’t play a decisive role, they could still make a big impact on the battle.

Fortunately, the worst case scenario did not happen.

On the second day after li Shiwen’s death, the news should have been known by the Wei people. They didn’t retreat just like that. Instead, they launched an attack with a bit of unwillingness.

Moreover, the great general Xia Cang had personally taken action.

Now that Xia Cang had made his move, Weiyun Grandmaster would definitely show himself. She also stood up and let the entire Yan country, even the lower-level cultivators, see that the Yan country also had Dharma laws!

The two Dharma adepts had really started a fight.

This was also Lu Qing’s first time seeing a battle between two Dharma stage cultivators. Two indomitable Giants were fighting in front of a spiritual peak guarded by Yunxiao sect cultivators.

The rather tall spiritual peak did not even reach their knees in front of them.

At this point, Lu Qing finally understood why the Dharma stage was called ‘Dharma’.

When the nascent soul grew to its limit and broke through the limit, it would form the Dharma. When the Dharma form was summoned, it would no longer be protected by the physical body. Instead, it would turn into a giant and protect the cultivator.

The appearance of this Dharma idol was similar to that of the cultivators, but there were many differences. The size was one thing, but the appearance and clothing of the character would also be very different.

The image of the Dharma was closer to the state of mind of the cultivator and the characteristics of the technique.

For example, after Wei Yun revealed her Dharma form, she turned into an immortal wearing light blue and white ethereal clothing. In her hand, there was a long green-blue blade, which was constructed by the purest true essence. Xia Cang, on the other hand, had transformed into an awe-inspiring, heavily-armored general with a murderous aura. He held a crescent-shaped saber in his hand, and flames were spreading out from it.

At this stage, other than very special equipment, other ordinary magic tools could not be used in the Dharma form. This kind of special magic tool was the so-called sixth-ranked magic tool. Compared to fifth-ranked or lower-ranked magic tools, this kind of magic tool had a qualitative change. It could really be called a ‘magic weapon’.

If one wanted to become a sixth tier armament master and forge a weapon for a Dharma stage cultivator, one had to be a Dharma stage cultivator. This made sixth ranked armament Masters and above extremely rare, and the number of sixth ranked magical treasures was also extremely small.

In this aspect, Xia Cang had an advantage over Wei Yun. The sword in Wei Yun’s hand was formed purely from true essence. It was a part of the Dharma and not an external force. As for the crescent Blade in Xia Cang’s hand, it was a true sixth-tier magic treasure.

Even though the two of them were of similar cultivation levels and appeared to be at the mid Dharma stage, Xia Cang had the upper hand in the battle between the two giants with their magic treasures.

However, Wei Yun had been Yunxiao sect’s pillar of support for many years. He was a figure on the level of Yunxiao sect’s ancestral master. With his cultivation level, he focused on defense and held Xia Cang back tightly, preventing the other party from achieving any results in the battle.

Besides the two of them, the ordinary cultivators on both sides also broke out in a full-scale battle.

It had to be mentioned that the Yunxiao sect had deployed the Imperial Guards to the front line to participate in the battle.

The Imperial Guards were originally stationed at the back of the defense line and didn’t listen to orders. Previously, the Yunxiao sect did not know what the outcome of the incident in Yan city would be and was also worried that the Imperial Guards would betray them. Thus, they did not dare to mobilize this troop to prevent the defense line from being in chaos, allowing the Wei Army to seize the opportunity and launch an attack.

However, after knowing that zou ziwu was not even in the Imperial Guards and that li Shiwen’s breakthrough had failed, there was nothing to worry about.

A Yuanying stage cultivator directly descended into the Imperial Guards of Yulin royal guards and slapped the Jindan stage cultivator who was pretending to be zou ziwu to reveal his true form. Then, he revealed the truth of the Yan city and clearly told these cultivators who served the Imperial court that if they did not listen to the transfer orders, they would die.

Some people were not afraid of death, especially many officers in the Imperial Army, including the guard Captain of Great Yan, who was also the nominal commander of the Imperial Guards.

However, this Yunxiao sect nascent soul realm cultivator would not be soft-hearted at a time like this. He directly killed all those who dared to resist in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even the guard Captain himself was only an early jiedan stage cultivator. In the hands of a late Yuanying stage cultivator, he could be killed without much effort.

Yunxiao sect was initially worried about this and that because zou ziwu was here. However, they did not have to worry so much now.

Under the bloody suppression, the remaining people still managed to escape.

Thus, under Yunxiao sect’s half-order and half-coercion, the Imperial Guards of Yulin royal guards arrived at the front line and were watched over as a Mobile Force.

After the war officially started, the Imperial Guards of Yulin royal guards were immediately put into the core of the battlefield, which was also the most tragic position, including the remaining four Jindan stage cultivators of the four great families. They launched a fierce battle with the elite troops of Wei State.

The Imperial Guards weren’t weak in battle. The average quality of the people who formed this cultivator Army was very high. Not to mention that they had been training for a long time and were good at joint attack formations. They also cooperated very well with each other. In a battle with a large number of cultivators, they could display very strong combat power.

Although the other side was also an elite force of the Wei Kingdom, the ‘unparalleled elite warriors’ of the Wei Kingdom’s legendary Legion had not appeared. Even if the enemy had more numbers than the Imperial Guards, they should still have the upper hand.

But the Xuanji can’t hold up against the current morale of the Imperial Guards. It’s too low.

In the Army, the Golden core cultivators, who were the backbone and also the commanders, were not thinking about the battle or killing the enemy. They were only thinking about how to survive on the battlefield and how to escape Yunxiao sect’s wrath after the battle.

And even if this news fell upon the ordinary Qi condensation Imperial Army soldiers, they would still be able to sense what had happened in the rear, even if they knew very little due to their status and position. On the way here, the Yunxiao sect cultivators ‘malice toward them was also very clear. They were clearly elites, but they were like cannon fodder, instantly thrown into the harshest battlefield environment.

More importantly, it was normal for a force that was supposed to be the trump card to use the best steel for the blade. However, when they were fighting this kind of difficult battle, whether it was the pills and talismans that were prepared in advance, or the support after the battle began, none of them were good enough.

This was the treatment of cannon fodder!

Since that was the case, it was only natural for him to have some ideas.

The low-morale Imperial Guards weren’t completely defeated, but after the battle ended, they suffered heavy casualties. More than 80% of the soldiers were killed, and nearly 26000 cultivators died in this battle.

According to this situation, this Army could be broken up, disbanded, and reorganized.

In fact, Yunxiao sect had such an idea.

In addition to the ordinary cultivators, among the four Jindan stage cultivators of the four families, only the Zhang family survived after the war.

Zhao Guang Xin, Guan leping, and Mo ruhai, the three patriarchs of their families, had all died in battle.

The mo family was still fine. There was still a Jindan in the family who was not too old. If they were well maintained in the future, the mo family might be able to maintain their status.

The Zhao clan and the Guan clan were really miserable.

After Guan leping’s death, there were no more golden core cultivators in the Guan family. The Zhao clan still had some, but their lifespan was reaching its end. They would probably die in the next three to five years.

Moreover, they had a conflict with the Lu family, so their future days would not be good.

By the time the Imperial Guards were almost completely wiped out, the battle between the two sides had ended.

Of course, in essence, it was the end of the battle between Weiyun and Xia Cang.

Weiyun suffered some losses, and Xia Cang didn’t gain much advantage, but neither of them really fought with their lives on the line. Otherwise, Xia Cang would have a 65% chance of winning. However, if he were to encounter the other 35%, he might even lose his life.

There was no need for that.

Xia Cang was the pillar of the Wei State. If he died here, the Wei State would be in big trouble.

Furthermore, Wei Yun had a reason to fight to the death. If she lost, the country of Yan and the Yunxiao sect would be finished.

However, Xia Cang didn’t have such a reason. He was just trying.

They had truly made a move. After weighing the pros and cons, they realized that the other party wasn’t an easy character to deal with. If they wanted to take him down, they wouldn’t be able to guarantee their safety. Even if they really did take him down, they would have to pay a huge price. If they didn’t cease fire, would they really go all out?

It did not exist.

The two big shots had stopped, so the people below naturally did not need to fight anymore.

Lu Qing had a good eye.

Not everyone had the chance to watch a battle between Dharma stage cultivators. At least, Lu Qing had not seen it with his own eyes in the past 300 years of his life.

Moreover, in his higher consciousness form, he could still see the 365-degree panoramic view. He could look at the panoramic view from a distance or stick it to his face. In any case, the terrifying true essence that was being blasted out didn’t affect him. In fact, he could even sneak under Weiyun’s skirt and tease her. ‘Forget it then. Am I, Lu Qing, that kind of perverted dog?’

Other than gaining more knowledge, Lu Qing also became clear of his position through this battle.

After breaking through to the nascent soul realm, Lu Qing had repeatedly warned himself not to get too cocky. There was always someone better. However, he could not help but get a little cocky in secret. After all, the power of the Yuanying stage was completely different from that of the Jindan stage. There was another self in the dantian, continuously providing higher quality, higher realm, and stronger true essence, which was intoxicating.

This was especially so after he had been blessed many times. With all kinds of talents and top-notch cultivation techniques, his combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. This kind of arrogance was even more natural.

He had thought that after the trip to Yan city, he would change his mind by fighting against a true nascent soul cultivator.

In the end, Tao Wu became even more arrogant.

He was only at nascent soul state level one, but he could beat the nascent soul state level three zou Zi Wu; When he was fighting alongside the genius cultivator, Bai Nantian, his cultivation level was one level lower but he was the main force. Bai Nantian was like a younger brother to him. Against a living corpse transformed from the body of a Dharma adept, he could still fight evenly and force the other party to self-destruct; He didn’t run even when the other party self-destructed and even took the blow.

After this, Lu Qing felt that he was invincible.

However, after watching the two dharmic forms today, he was stunned.

Well, sorry to disturb you.

His self-positioning was immediately accurate.

Wei Yun and Xia Cang were both activating their Dharma forms with all their might. With their indomitable strength, he would probably be dead if he were to take a direct hit from them. It would be useless to activate any defensive spell techniques.

Lu Qing was much more clear-headed now.

He had never looked down on Yunxiao sect. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he could not do so. In the future, the Lu family had to be more careful when communicating with Yunxiao sect.

The swastika word guaranteed safety.

However, in the long run, the Yunxiao sect would be a threat to the Lu family.

It all depended on li Shiwen’s breakthrough this time. This Emperor had done so many things and paid such a huge price to achieve a secret breakthrough. Wasn’t it to hide it from Yunxiao sect?

Did li Shiwen not test Yunxiao sect’s attitude towards his breakthrough before this?

Lu Qing did not believe it.

According to Lu Qing’s thinking, if he was in that position, he would not choose to avoid Yunxiao sect and sneak in if he had the slightest chance. The risk was too great.

He believed that li Shiwen wasn’t such a stubborn person. He wanted to hide it from Yunxiao sect because Yunxiao sect would definitely not agree to his request.

Then, the question was, what would Yunxiao sect do if the Lu family produced a new Dharma power in the future?

Looking at it this way, Yunxiao sect’s tolerance was just like that. They would not allow a second Dharma form to appear in the country of Xu Yan to compete with them for status and benefits.

Lu Qing did not think that his relationship with the Yunxiao sect was so good that they would allow him to break through.

Even though he was still far from the Dharma stage, he was still very far away. However, with his cultivation speed, he had to make plans for this.

Of course, Lu Qing had his own advantages over the unlucky li Shiwen.

Due to the restriction of spiritual energy, li Shiwen could only choose to break through at a level 6 spiritual heritage. Therefore, he could only stay in Yan city and not go anywhere. However, Lu Qing had the system. The system had always provided him with free, unlimited, high-quality spirit Qi. When he was about to break through, he could have sneaked away and found a corner that no one knew about to break through first.

He couldn’t save too many of the materials he needed to break through.

However, no matter what, the Lu family and Yunxiao sect should be on the same side now. It could be predicted that in the future, as long as the Lu family did not seek death and cooperated with Yunxiao sect, both parties would enter a honeymoon period. In the order that Yunxiao sect was rebuilding after the war, the Lu family and the Qingfeng sect would probably have a more important position.

Lu Qing was already prepared. Next, before the Lu clan grasped the strength to fall out with Yunxiao sect, they would definitely correct their status and be a good Lackey.

He would find a perfect position for Wei Yun old ancestor to lick him!
