The Great Wild God - Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Heaven and Man Are Separated
When Chen Xun returned, Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and the others were so excited that they couldn’t help but feel excited.

At that time, when the nine races of the Northern Mountains were on the verge of death, where could an old friend appear to be more inspiring?

Zong Tu and Daoist Zuo Qingmu were so excited that their hands and feet trembled. They walked over and grabbed Chen Xun’s shoulder. The corners of their mouths trembled as they spoke. They held Chen Xun in their arms as they walked into the castle that was built in the stone depression halfway up Blackrock Peak. Their eyes couldn’t help but blur with tears, and they didn’t care about their appearances. They wiped their old faces in front of many disciples.

Seeing Chen Xun, Qing Xuan’s heart, which had been hanging in the air these past few days, finally relaxed a little.

“If I had known earlier, I would have returned to Canglan with Qing Xuan, Elder Su, and the others. I didn’t expect that I would have been delayed outside for a few months, but I couldn’t have helped them in time. I’m ashamed of everyone for destroying Beishan City in such a short amount of time!” Chen Xun looked at the mess in the stronghold and felt both pain and regret in his heart.

Countless Beishan tribesmen retreated to the stronghold and laid out straw mats in the alleyways. Hundreds of people were crowded in every narrow alleyway, and their eyes were filled with despair.

As for Zong Tu and the others, their expressions were haggard and their energies were withered, almost to the point where their spiritual energy was being squeezed dry. Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Tie Xintong, and the others also had injuries on their bodies. There were many familiar faces that hadn’t appeared, causing Chen Xun to dare not think too much. He regretted not returning to the black python first, and that he had stayed in the depths of Tu Mountain for such a long time.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, we withdrew from Northern Mountain City first. The Blood Sword Sect wanted to seize Northern Mountain, but they didn’t want to break their tendons and bones. The attack wasn’t too urgent. Zong Tu’s grief-stricken face wrinkled into a ball as he comforted Chen Xun, “It’s just that the Zuo Clan’s Clan Master couldn’t let go of his lifetime of effort. He was a step too slow to withdraw from Northern Mountain City.” “Sometimes, it’s not the will of heaven to do anything to others. It’s useless for you to return a few months earlier.”

Seeing that Qianlan, Zuoqiu, and the others were all wearing linen filial clothes outside the spirit armor, Chen Xun sighed in his heart. He thought that Zuochonggu had great ambitions to integrate the various races of the Northern Mountain. He had spent his entire life and effort to create the Northern Mountain City, so how could he be willing to give it up so easily?

“Where’s Uncle Zong Sang?” Chen Xun didn’t see Zong Sang in the crowd, and an ominous shadow appeared in his heart.

When Chen Xun asked this, Zong Ling burst into tears and said, “My father told Old Thief Yang Zhu to slash him to death with one palm. He didn’t even leave a single bone behind!”

Chen Xun seemed to have been stabbed dozens of times in the chest by someone else. He remembered Zong Sang’s black tower-like figure back then. He didn’t expect that when he returned this time, he would be separated from the heavens.

Chen Xun’s intestines were filled with regret. He looked up at the sky and didn’t let tears fall from his eyes. He thought to himself, no matter how small the chances of Zong Sang and Nan Liao breaking through the profound aperture were, they shouldn’t be reluctant to part with two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. What was the use of keeping ten Golden Pills in their hands now that the heavens and humans were separated?

Chen Xunqiang suppressed the grief in his heart. Other than Qianlan, Qingxuan, Ge Yi, and the others, he couldn’t see any other disciples of the Azure Water School. He asked Grandpa Zongtu, “Didn’t you ask for help from the Su Clan?”

He did not believe that the Su Clan hoped that the narrow path between Python Fang Ridge and Tu Shanxi Ridge would fall into the hands of the Blood Sword Sect.

“The Grand Elder of Mount Yi Sect, Daoist Yi Qingquan, entered Canglan by himself five years ago. He made an agreement with the Learning Academy and the Mysterious Frost Sect and reiterated that the three sects were not allowed to interfere in the tribal and sectarian disputes in Xi Ling, Mang Ya Ling, Guniu Ling, and Dongshan Ze …” Ge Yi said.

“Daoist Yi Qingquan?” Chen Xun asked, puzzled.

Daoist names weren’t casually addressed. When he left Canglan in a hurry, he was still an insignificant figure. He was only familiar with the situation of the Su Clan and Canglan College. He knew very little about the Yishan Sect in the west and the Xuanhan Sect in the north. However, he hadn’t heard of Daoist Yuan Dan in Yishan Sect in the past few years in Yunzhong Prefecture.

“Yi Qingquan has been traveling in the clouds for a long time, and his fame in Canglan is not obvious. His cultivation of the Origin Pill twenty years ago was only gradually known after the battle at Jade Pillar Peak. The Blood Sword Sect issued a letter of challenge to the nine races of the Northern Mountain. The Su Clan was forced to stand by and watch this time, but they agreed to let our disciples leave the Azure Water School and join the Northern Mountain. Su Tang was locked up in the Mausoleum Mountain by the Patriarch … “Ge Yi said.

Chen Xun’s heart was bitter. Perhaps the Su Clan did not expect that Mount Yi Sect would actually have an Origin Core Adept!

With the Su Clan’s consistent virtue, it was already the greatest effort they could make to allow Qianlan, Qingxuan, and the others to leave the Azure Water College and return to the Northern Mountain. This was most likely the result of Qianlan and Qing Xuan fighting to the death, and Su Fanglong, Su Lingyin, Su Tang, and the others strongly supported it.

Even though Ge Yi and the other disciples of the Martial Commandant’s Mansion had some friendship with Chen Xun, they didn’t need to die with their own bodies.

They left the Azure Water School and joined the Northern Mountain. In the end, they were the corpses sent by the Azure Water School to support the Northern Mountain.

The Su Clan would never hope that the passageway between Python Fang Ridge and Tu Shanxi Ridge would fall into the hands of the Blood Sword Sect supported by Yishan Sect and Xuanhan Sect.

However, Ge Yi and the others were at most at the peak of the True Yang Realm. It could be seen that even if the Su Clan wanted to defend the Northern Mountain, they did not want to pay too much for it.

Chen Xun was quite familiar with the Spiritual Light leaking out from the stone hall. He knew that there was a four-pillar Mountain and River Formation hidden inside. It should be the Su Clan’s additional support for the Northern Mountain. It must be the result of Su Fanglong, Su Lingyin, and Su Tang’s efforts to fight for the Northern Mountain.

Without the four-pillar Mountain River Formation to defend Blackrock Peak, it would be very difficult for everyone in the Northern Mountain to hold on until now.

Chen Xun could no longer place any higher demands on the Su Clan.

*******************

At this moment, the mountain bell rang loudly, and the sound of the bell dripped into the boiling oil. The people in the stronghold immediately ran in panic, searching for hiding places everywhere.

Chen Xun turned around and saw several flowing shadows flying out of the Heavenly Horse Lake, killing intent surging towards the Black Rock Peak.

“The Blood Sword Sect has come up the mountain again.” Zong Tu’s old face wrinkled even deeper, and he immediately entered the stone room with Zuo Qingmu, Tie Xintong, and Qing Xuan, leaving Chen Xun outside to watch the battle.

A moment later, four pillars of spiritual light shot out from the stone room, like a spirit dragon circling along the wall of the stronghold.

Black Rock Peak did not have spirit veins or spirit acupoints. Although there was a Spirit Gathering Formation made of Zuoqingmu that gathered spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the four-pillar Mountain River Formation in the stone room was still unable to obtain sufficient spiritual energy to support it.

With Zong Tu, Zuo Qingmu, Tie Xintong, and Qing Xuan presiding over the formation with their own Spiritual Energy, they were simply unable to completely defend the entire stronghold.

Right now, the only priority was to rely on the four-pillar Mountain and River Formation to ensure that the stronghold wall would not be broken by the Blood Sword Sect.

Even if the Blood Sword Sect did not charge into the stronghold and only attacked with magical techniques and artifacts outside the stronghold, there would still be casualties in the stronghold due to the limited protection of the Four Pillars Mountain and River Formation and the limited cultivation of Qianlan, Zongya, Gu Jianfeng, and the others.

Chen Xun, Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Qian Lan, and the others climbed onto the village wall. The Blood Sword Sect disciples stopped in the clouds and threw a dozen heads over. The leader shouted loudly, “I, the disciple of the Good Will Sect, will inform you to stay alive for a few more days. You rodents don’t have the guts to leave the village and fight to the death. You will kill my messenger disciple by any means. Just wait for the head to land in ten days.”

The faces of the dozen or so heads still carried the twisted fear of being killed.

Chen Xun had just killed several disciples of the Blood Sword Sect before he went up the mountain. He thought to himself that the Blood Sword Sect had most likely found a dozen Northern Mountain clansmen from the mountains and killed them in revenge.

Halfway up Blackrock Peak, this stronghold was not big. It only covered a radius of a hundred houses. Everyone in the Northern Mountain could only move their relatives in to avoid disaster, and there were more than a hundred thousand ordinary clansmen who were simply unable to take care of it.

Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and the others had cold expressions on their faces as they stood on the wall like a rock.

Qianlan pointed at the middle-aged man wearing a golden silk robe in the middle of the clouds and said to Chen Xun, “He is the Blood Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Yang Zhu …”

When he was in Mengshan, Chen Xun and Su Fanglong had learned about the situation of the Blood Sword Sect.

The Blood Sword Sect was originally a sword cultivation sect that was located between the Profound Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect and attached to the Profound Frost Sect. The sect head, Yang Zhu, claimed to be the Sword Ancestor and came from the Baixi Clan. He entered the Heavenly Yuan Clan twenty years ago, and only gradually became known to outsiders after the Battle of Jade Pillumination Peak.

After the battle at Jade Pillar Peak, the Blood Sword Sect received the full support of Mystical Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect. They moved south to the Guniu Ridge in the wasteland of the lake. At the same time, they merged more than ten small and medium-sized sects and clans at the western foot of Xi Ridge and the eastern foot of Yi into the Blood Sword Sect without any bloodshed.

Over the years, Qing Yangzi had taken Lou Shiyi to an unknown location and had not shown himself from the beginning to the end; Many experts from the Ghost Xi Tribe, Thousand Illusion Sect, and other sects that had withdrawn from the Azure Water Sect had joined the Blood Sword Sect.

Even though Su Junyuan had bloodbathed the clansmen of the Ghost Tribe, Thousand Illusion Sect, and other clans who had stayed in Cang Lan and were unable to escape, it was still difficult to change the general trend.

The Blood Sword Sect had gathered more than 40 Reincarnation Realm experts from below Yang Zhu in just a few years. They had already become the third largest force in the north of the Azure Water Wilderness, apart from Mystical Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect. Yang Zhu was also one of the heroes of this wilderness.

Chen Xun’s eyes were cold as he stared at Yang Zhu, who was standing over a thousand feet away from the clouds. Behind him was a giant blood-colored sword that was exceptionally eye-catching. It was as if the blood of countless people and animals had condensed, and a scarlet light floated about. The fierce aura of blood devouring was actually somewhat similar to that of a demon fiend.

However, Chen Xun was puzzled when he saw Yang Zhu’s sinister gaze and whether his intelligence had been corroded by the demon fiend. He thought that Yang Zhu might be cultivating another kind of demon art.

“Sect Leader, those old bastards are all hiding and don’t dare to see anyone. Why are we talking so much nonsense with these ignorant little bastards? First, cut off a few of his heads as interest.” The two Blood Sword Sect cultivators transformed into flowing shadows and rushed over. Before their bodies could reach them, they saw two spirit flags waving in their hands. They rolled their withered branches and leaves like two long dragons crashing into a wall. Their auras were extremely shocking.

The Four-Pillar Mountain and River Array was the greatest reliance for the people of the Northern Mountains to defend Blackrock Peak. Good steel had to be used on the blade. At this moment, Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu could only use the Four-Pillar Mountain and River Array to guard against it, but they would not easily activate the Four-Pillar Mountain and River Array to consume spiritual energy.

Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya brandished their sabers and spears from the wall one on the left and the other on the right, hacking out several layers of saber-qi spear shadows, splitting the two into withered leaves that could no longer be shattered to pieces on the ground.

The man on the left activated his spell and saw the spirit flag in his hand shine brightly. In the blink of an eye, countless mysterious talisman silhouettes emerged from the spirit flag and shot towards Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya with dozens of fireballs in the wind. They were about to swallow Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya into the sea of fire.

Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya wore Spirit Armor, but they didn’t dare to be careless. They chopped out numerous saber lights and spear lights, dispersing the fireball.

Fireworks shot out in all directions. Many of them fell onto the walls of the stronghold. Chen Xun also felt that the fireworks were burning hot. He was secretly shocked. A random Reincarnation Realm cultivator actually had a high-grade Flame Spirit Flag. It seemed that the Mount Yi Sect had spent an enormous amount of money to support the Blood Sword Sect in taking down the Northern Mountain!

Chen Xun forcefully suppressed his impulse to release the six demonic fox puppets. He only used the Thunder Meteorite Sword behind him to transform into a hundred zhang sword light and slash towards the two people in front of the stronghold wall.

The right-headed Blood Sword Sect cultivator silently looked at the incoming sword light, not panicking. He only waved the spirit flag in his hand and dozens of giant stones gathered in front of him in an instant, forming a floating giant stone formation to block the incoming sword light.

Chen Xun’s sword beam could only split open a dozen or so boulders, but he was unable to break the stone formation for a time.

Ge Yi, Tie Xinmei, Zuoqiu, and the others weren’t strong enough to fight against Reincarnation Realm cultivators, but their hands and feet weren’t slow either. At this moment, they all pulled out giant bows and used boundless divine power to pull the bows to kill them.

Relying on everyone’s strength, they forcefully blocked the two Blood Sword Sect disciples who wanted to use high-grade magic tools to attack the fortress wall from a hundred feet away.
