NOVPUBChapter 881: Chapter 472: Lu Xingfeng Arrives Chapter 881: Chapter 472: Lu Xingfeng Arrives However, according to Han Hu’s account, the Golden Sword Sect only had the assistance of two Third Order Spiritual Beasts, and one of them was injured, which greatly reduced its strength.
With the cultivation realm of the three of them and the help of the two Third Order Spiritual Beasts, they might be able to hold on for a while during the current crisis.
However, it wasn’t only these people attacking the Golden Sword Mountain Gate from Zhou Yunxiao’s side.
After all, Lu Xingfeng of the Zhenyang Sect had a cultivation at the Late Stage Golden Core, just like them.
Once Lu Xingfeng made a move, with two Late Stage Golden Core experts present, and with the help of capable fighters like Chen Jingtian and Lin Tianming, they likely wouldn’t stand a chance to turn the tables.
Previously, in order to guard against Song Hanchun, Lu Xingfeng had stayed within the Zhenyang Sect.
Now, with the Golden Sword Sect severely damaged and its strength greatly weakened, not to mention all their Golden Core Stage combat power gathered here and caught in Zhou Yunxiao’s encirclement, they had no chance of threatening their main camp.
...
Thus, with no concerns left, it was very likely that Lu Xingfeng would make a move.
If that really happened, the Golden Sword Sect and Zhao Hongsheng’s hopes of repelling the enemy were extremely low; preserving the Golden Sword Sect’s foundation was almost impossible.
At this moment, upon hearing Han Hu’s explanation, Zhao Hongsheng knew that Han Hu’s analysis was quite accurate.
Knowing this, Zhao Hongsheng was also feeling immensely anxious at this time but had no strategy to repel the enemy in such a situation.
At this moment, seeing Zhao Hongsheng helplessly, Han Hu also continuously sighed with regret in his heart.
Originally, he too had been blinded by benefits, thinking that with the help of the Blood Red Alliance, they could fulfill their longstanding wish to unify the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
At the very least, they could have toppled Myriad Medicine Valley from the strongest sect position in the Wei Kingdom and replaced it with the Golden Sword Sect as the foremost sect. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
However, the Blood Red Alliance underestimated the strength of Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect.
Especially Zhao Hongsheng, who had been extremely arrogant before, believing that since they were from the Nascent Soul Forces of the Blood Red Alliance and had seen various powerful sect families, he never took these obscure forces of the Wei Kingdom seriously.
And the result was that both the Blood Red Alliance and the Golden Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, as did the three sects from Huangyang Kingdom that later entered into the battle, all paying a heavy price.
Such an outcome was probably unexpected by all forces involved in the battle, even the Loose Cultivators.
Of course, the involvement and joining of the Lin Family also played a crucial role in the failure of their plans.
However, in his eyes, these were all objective factors.
After all, considering their peak overall strength, even with the three Golden Cores from the Lin Family present, his side still had the advantage.
Under such conditions, they did not seize opportunities time after time, letting Myriad Medicine Valley take advantage repeatedly and finally putting both sides on the same starting line.
In the end, most of their elite force was annihilated in a single stroke, creating such a critical situation.
Thinking of this, Han Hu was immensely frustrated.
However, as the Golden Sword Sect was currently facing an existential crisis, no matter how angry he felt inside, he could only rely on Zhao Hongsheng’s strength.
Otherwise, if Zhao Hongsheng were to leave the Golden Sword Sect on its own, the sect would be completely obliterated and erased from the grand layout of the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World over thousands of years.
Knowing the importance of this, Han Hu forcibly suppressed his anger and then discussed countermeasures with Zhao Hongsheng.
Some time passed.
After much discussion among the three of them and considering various strategies, they still could not come up with a full-proof plan.
Nevertheless, given the current circumstances, they could only rely on the Defensive Great Formation to buy time and try to recover some injuries and mana.
They knew that if the few could maintain eighty to ninety percent of their peak strength, there was still some chance for turning things around.
If all else failed, they could only take a desperate last stand to carve out a sliver of hope for survival.
Thinking of these circumstances, Zhao Hongsheng and Song Hanchun felt extremely helpless and eventually could only leave Han Hu’s cave dwelling resentfully.
Meanwhile, while Zhao Hongsheng and the others were discussing strategies, the scene outside the Golden Sword Mountain Gate was anything but calm.
At that moment, Lin Tianming and his group inspected the Formation for a moment, then still sent a few Second Order Array Masters from Myriad Medicine Valley to study and evaluate the defensive array before them.
Such actions are typically arranged by any force when attacking the mountain gate of another force.
Unless the attacking side had no Array Masters at all.
Otherwise, they generally sent people to explore the Formation, searching for the quickest and most effective way to break it.
After all, breaking a defensive array through brute force required a lot of manpower and resources, and time was difficult to control.
Therefore, relying on brute force to attack a Golden Elixir Forces’ defensive array was the last resort.
If they could utilize the power of Array Masters, they might be able to significantly accelerate the breaking of the array while saving most cultivators’ mana to cope with the grand battle that would follow.
However, advancing as an Array Master was much more difficult compared to other cultivation methods, so it had been a long time since a Third Order Array Master had appeared in the entire Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
If one were to trace back to the last Third Order Array Master from the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, that was over a thousand years ago.
In fact, that Array Master was exceptionally talented, having broken through the Golden Core stage as a Loose Cultivator and achieved Third Order status, becoming a coveted ally among all the major forces in the Wei Kingdom.
