Chapter 115: The Battle Begins

Jin Qigu's biased support for the Zhao Family, without distinguishing right from wrong, ignited Meng Zhang's anger. He found it frustrating how fickle Jin Qigu could be. Last time they met at Forest Mountain School, Jin Qigu was not like this at all.

Suppressing his anger, Meng Zhang coldly said, "This is a feud between the younger generation and Zhao Family. Senior, you need not concern yourself with it."

"Stay on the sidelines and watch the battle, there's no need to ask about anything else."

"Those who don't know any better won't even appreciate a senior's kindness. Nowadays, young people are simply ignorant of the world. They'll only understand the need to beg for mercy after they've tasted hardship."

Sect Master Ruan Yuan of the Golden Blade Sect spoke harshly.

Meng Zhang didn't bother arguing with them. Their stance was clear; impartiality was out of the question.

"Now that both sides' witnesses are here, you can begin your battle," Ruan Yuan announced.

"Please wait a moment, Senior. One of my witnesses has yet to arrive," Meng Zhang requested.

"Why play tricks? We don't care who you're bringing in. Making us wait for one person," Jin Qigu asked.

"Once this person arrives, Senior will naturally recognize him," Meng Zhang replied casually.

"Don't be so mysterious, it's meaningless," Ruan Yuan said with some disdain.

After a while, when Ruan Yuan was starting to get impatient, a crane's cry came from the sky, and a blue crane flew in from a distance.

The blue crane's speed was extremely fast, and it quickly landed on the hillside. A person stepped down from the crane.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

As soon as this person appeared, Zhao Jiudou's expression changed drastically, even showing some panic.

Jin Qigu and Ruan Yuan also had unpleasant expressions.

"Junior Sect Master Meng, I'm sorry for being a step late," the person said.

"No problem, Brother Zhou, your arrival is perfect," Meng Zhang hurriedly greeted Zhou Shengkao.

"Everyone, I apologize for the delay. I was about to leave, but Brother Shan insisted on stopping me, saying there was something he needed to discuss. I chatted with him for a while before coming here," Zhou Shengkao said, nodding to those around him.

Both Meng Zhang and Zhao Jiudou were not true Sword Cultivators; apart from their flying swords, they didn't hesitate to use other magic tools.

Meng Zhang raised his Fire Seal, and several fire snakes formed by Solar True Flame rushed towards Zhao Jiudou.

Zhao Jiudou wielded a stone stick, and the ground condensed into two earthen dragons that directly confronted the fire snakes, engaging in a fierce battle.

Meng Zhang lightly shook the Soul Shocking Bell, but the jade pendant Zhao Jiudou wore spontaneously emitted a warm flow, keeping him alert and unaffected by the bell's sound.

While Meng Zhang and Zhao Jiudou fought fiercely, the others were not idle.

Apart from Zhao Jiudou, the Zhao Family had sent fifteen cultivators to this battle. It wasn't that Zhao Family could only spare this many, but according to Zhao Jiudou's plan, they wanted to defeat Taiyi Sect head-on with an equal number of people to demonstrate Zhao Family's might.

Leading the Zhao Family cultivators was Zhao Dong, who was at the Refining Qi Seventh Level. There were also two Refining Qi late-stage cultivators and the rest were all at the Refining Qi middle-stage.

On Taiyi Sect's side, apart from Tian Zhen and Daoist Clear Spirit at the Refining Qi Sixth Level, Li Xuan, Zhang Zhanlin, and the father-son pair from the Wang family were at the Refining Qi middle-stage. The rest of the disciples were all rookie cultivators at the Refining Qi initial stage.

In the Cultivation World, major forces tried to avoid sending Refining Qi rookies into battle.

Although the numbers were equal between Taiyi Sect and Zhao Family, the difference in cultivation base was vast. The only thing Taiyi Sect could rely on was the First Rank Formation, the Chaotic Sand and Stone Formation.

Although this was their first actual battle, Wen Qiansun was not flustered. He calmly directed the disciples into position and started to control the formation.

Zhao Dong and the others charged towards the formation, and without needing any orders, they unleashed various techniques to attack the formation in front of them.

It was only a First Rank Formation, how much defensive power could it have to withstand their attacks?

After a series of bright talisman lights and a barrage of spells such as Fireball Art, Earth Dragon Art, and Golden Blade Art, the formation was almost completely enveloped.

The flying sand and chaotic stones outside the formation proactively countered these spells.

After a series of loud explosions, the sand dissipated, revealing the situation inside the formation.

The attack didn't stop; even more talismans were released, and an increasing number of spells rained down on the formation from all directions.
