In the blink of an eye, the gigantic flying vessel had turned into a speck and finally vanished into the horizon.
…
Myriad Medicine Valley.
In a gorge of the Yuxu Mountain Range lay the sect gate of Myriad Medicine Valley.
At this time, within one of the pavilions in the gorge, two figures from the Zhenyang Sect appeared.
One of them, clothed in a golden Daoist robe with an embroidered pattern of a blazing sun on the chest, was undoubtedly Long Qingshui himself.
Sitting in a higher position across from him was a blue-robed cultivator, none other than Zhou Yunxiao, the Sect Leader of Myriad Medicine Valley.
...
At that moment, as Zhou Yunxiao observed Long Qingshui’s pale complexion, his heart stirred, especially when he recalled a meeting between him and Zhu Yun that had occurred more than a month ago.
It was through Zhu Yun’s personal account that they had learned of the Golden Sword Sect’s sudden action, swiftly seizing the territories of several mountain ranges.
At that time, Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect had also reached an agreement: should either party be attacked by the Golden Sword Sect, the other would dispatch part of its forces to help resist the assault.
And while their combined forces had yet to be deployed, not much time had passed, and the Zhenyang Sect had already sent another person, this time a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.
All signs indicated that the Golden Sword Sect’s offensive was fierce and that Zhenyang Sect was facing immense pressure.
Just thinking about this, Zhou Yunxiao’s expression quickly darkened.
Nevertheless, he was a Golden Core cultivator and had the backing of Myriad Medicine Valley, a sect with a legacy of ten thousand years.
Having taken on the role of Sect Leader, he had long since developed an unflappable demeanor and soon regained his composure.
Soon after, Zhou Yunxiao gestured with his hand and then asked, “Young friend Long, since the war broke out, what is the current situation of your Zhenyang Sect?”
Hearing this, Long Qingshui also became serious and respectfully responded.
“Answering Senior Zhou, since one month ago, the Golden Sword Sect has intensified their offensive. More than ten mountain ranges under our sect have fallen, and over a hundred large and small clans have been wiped out, resulting in a heavy loss!”
“And now, the Sect Leader has summoned a large number of cultivators, along with fellow disciples, to head to Qingshui Mountain Range to resist the main force of the Golden Sword Sect’s attack. Under their desperate resistance, we have temporarily held back the offensive.”
“Hm…”
Zhou Yunxiao nodded and continued to inquire, “Who is leading your sect’s defense against the Golden Sword Sect, and how strong is their main force? How many Golden Core cultivators are there?”
As soon as the words fell, Long Qingshui did not dare delay and quickly reported the accurate intelligence he had gathered.
“Responding to Senior Zhou, Uncle Chen is leading our sect’s efforts to resist the Golden Sword Sect, accompanied by Luo and Uncle Lan. ”
“Regarding the Golden Sword Sect, we have confirmed that there are at least four Golden Core cultivators on their side. Besides Song Hanchun from the Golden Sword Sect, there is also an unidentified Late Stage Golden Core cultivator, as well as a Medium Stage and an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator working together.”
“And those two unidentified Medium Stage cultivators were the ones who ambushed Luo and Zhu Yun after Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm had closed!”
Even someone of Zhou Yunxiao’s status couldn’t help being somewhat shocked upon hearing this.
He was very aware that the Golden Sword Sect deploying four Golden Core cultivators, including one Late Stage, two Medium Stage, and one Early Stage cultivator, was an immense force, almost equal to the entirety of the Golden Sword Sect’s strength.
And those three unidentified cultivators could almost certainly be identified as cultivators under the command of the Blood Red Alliance.
Now, the Blood Red Alliance was no longer hiding in the shadows but instead blatantly appearing in public view and participating in the power struggles within the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
Such a high-profile move showed a great deal of confidence and also revealed their determination: they were set on obtaining something at all costs.
The more this was the case, the more difficult the situation would likely become for both Myriad Medicine Valley and the Zhenyang Sect.
Considering this, even someone as strong and well-connected as Zhou Yunxiao couldn’t help feeling a flutter of trepidation.
As he sighed deeply, his complexion then gradually recovered somewhat.
“`
Following that, he began, “Young Dragon, have you come to Myriad Medicine Valley today because Daoist Lu has entrusted you with some matter?”
Hearing Zhou Yunxiao proactively mention his purpose, Long Qingshui reflected on the instructions given to him by the Sect Leader Lu Xingfeng as he left the gates of Zhenyang Sect, who had repeatedly urged him to ensure that Myriad Medicine Valley sent reinforcements to the Zhenyang Sect’s battlefront as swiftly as possible.
With this in mind, he dared not delay or hide anything.
“Senior Zhou, our two sects had an agreement to advance and retreat together. At present, our sect is under immense pressure and simply cannot match the Golden Sword Sect disciples with the strength of our sect alone!”
“If this situation continues to develop, Zhenyang Sect will likely suffer heavy casualties.”
“If our Zhenyang Sect cannot withstand the attack and our sect’s strength significantly weakens, or we suffer heavy losses, or even if we are directly annihilated, it will not be an easy task for Myriad Medicine Valley, with its strength, to block the attacks of the Golden Sword Sect by itself.”
“The principle of a linked fence falling with the loss of a single post is all too clear to someone with the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, like Senior Zhou!”
“Therefore, we cannot afford any delay. If we want to withstand or even destroy the Golden Sword Sect, our two sects must accelerate our progress and further increase the strength of our counterattacks.”
“Otherwise, by the time they defeat us one by one, it will all be too late!”
Hearing Long Qingshui’s words, Zhou Yunxiao, who had originally intended to delay and let the Zhenyang Sect and the Golden Sword Sect wear each other down,
planned to have Myriad Medicine Valley reap the benefits from the sidelines and thus once again dominate the entire Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
But now, having heard what Long Qingshui said and considering the predicament of the Zhenyang Sect, he had no choice but to accelerate the support as Zhenyang Sect had stated and also increase their resistance.
With these thoughts, Zhou Yunxiao set aside his own schemes, planning to fully support the Zhenyang Sect as Long Qingshui had suggested.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Yunxiao nodded and then voiced his stance.
“Rest assured, Young Dragon, our sect will surely gather forces immediately and reach the Qingshui Mountain Range within a month to support your Sect’s Daoist Chen and the others.”
Relieved by this statement, Long Qingshui heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but feel fortunate that his luck was not bad after all, meeting Zhou Yunxiao, a righteous man who understood the seriousness of the situation and agreed to the Sect Leader’s request at once.
Now, he only needed to wait for Myriad Medicine Valley to gather their forces and set out with them to reinforce his fellow sect disciples.
As long as he completed this task according to the Sect Leader’s instructions, he would earn enough merit points to obtain a Jiuli Star Fruit.
For this item, he had completed many sect missions over the years and had faced numerous crises.
Among them, he had already earned sufficient merit during the great battle at Yuyao City and had performed exceptionally well in the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.
Now, conveying the Sect Leader’s request was yet another dangerous and challenging mission.
Fortunately, so far everything had gone quite smoothly, a silver lining in unfortunate circumstances.
Regaining his composure, Long Qingshui looked at Zhou Yunxiao, whose serious expression showed he was not joking.
Having received an affirmative answer, Long Qingshui then spoke with admiration, “Senior Zhou truly understands the greater good, I have the utmost respect for you!”
“Now that this matter is settled, my colleague and I will rest at your sect for a while. Once the forces are assembled, we will depart with the many cultivators of Myriad Medicine Valley!”
Hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao knew that Long Qingshui wanted to ensure that Myriad Medicine Valley would not intentionally delay.
But that didn’t matter; he had no intentions of delaying, so he didn’t care whether Long Qingshui stayed or not.
With that in mind, Zhou Yunxiao nodded and said, “Hmm… let’s do as you say, Young Dragon!”
“Thank you, Senior Zhou!”
Long Qingshui bowed in thanks and chatted briefly with Zhou Yunxiao to confirm the arrangements.
Afterward, he and his fellow sect member bid Zhou Yunxiao farewell and, under the guidance of Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, took up temporary residence at the Myriad Medicine Valley Sect Gate to cultivate.
