91: Guarding Hanling Mountain

Extraterritorial Battlefield.

Heavenly Dao Sect stronghold, Nascent Soul Mountain.

In a pavilion, a yellow-clothed woman with a worried expression walked into the room.

"Greetings, Revered Master, Xu Qi'an is still not dead..."

Chen Xiaotian slightly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of unusual calmness.

"Wenxiu Cliff has already told me that Xu Qi'an escaped, escaped back to Northern Spirit Pass."

Yuan Yi nodded. The news she received was also the same: "Revered Master, this Xu Qi'an is definitely not simple. Even the Extinguishing Spirit Pearl failed to kill him!"

Chen Xiaotian slightly shook his head: "What's strange about that? This person must have obtained a Nascent Soul inheritance and has some Fourth-Grade Talismans in his hand, which is how he preserved himself."

"Nascent Soul inheritance?" Yuan Yi's face immediately showed some surprise.

How did he get this Nascent Soul inheritance!

Chen Xiaotian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the Cultivators at Northern Spirit Pass have been treated as abandoned pieces."

"In this battle, the Cultivators of Yue Country are doomed to die."

"You can also rest assured."

Yuan Yi immediately showed a look of confusion: "Revered Master, what does this mean..."

"Hehe, does Yuan Yi know about the great victory at Tuotian Pass."

......

Northern Spirit Pass.

Xu Qi'an and the other Cultivators stationed at this pass all rushed to Hanling Mountain by spirit ship.

On the spirit ship.

Xu Qi'an asked Jiang Qiuhe and others what had happened recently.

Jiang Qiuhe opened her mouth and said: "Sect Leader, you may not know, but just a few days after you left, a great battle occurred at the Heavenly Dao Sect's Tuotian Pass."

"It was a raid by the Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country, Ghost Spirit Country, leading Cultivators."

"This battle was extremely fierce, but it was a great victory for the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

"The Ghost Spirit Sect led thousands of Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage and nearly a hundred Jie Dan Cultivators to launch a surprise attack, but they didn't expect that the Heavenly Dao Sect already knew."

"In this battle, the Heavenly Dao Sect achieved victory with very small losses, only losing dozens of Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage and a few Jie Dan Cultivators."

"And the Ghost Spirit Sect was almost completely wiped out!"

"This battle even involved several Nascent Soul Stage from the two Sects, and even a Nascent Soul Late Stage took action."

"Oh? So that's how it is." Xu Qi'an stroked his chin and fell into contemplation.

Xu Qi'an didn't expect such a major event to have occurred in just over a month since he left.

However, is this Extraterritorial Battlefield a war triggered by the two Sects, Heavenly Dao Sect and Ghost Spirit Sect, competing for territory in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, or perhaps some relic fragments?

Through Jiang Qiuhe's words, Xu Qi'an had some thoughts.

But he didn't fully understand.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time for now!"

Hanling Mountain is located on the front line of the Heavenly Dao Sect, some distance from Northern Spirit Pass.

Two days later, Xu Qi'an and the Northern Spirit Pass Cultivators arrived at Hanling Mountain.

This mountain is a huge body floating above the starry sky, hundreds of zhang high and extending for dozens of kilometers. Looking from afar, it is extremely spectacular.

"This is Hanling Mountain!"

Xu Qi'an was quite surprised to see the giant mountain before him.

Hanling Mountain is surrounded by a huge Formation. Xu Qi'an investigated this Formation and found that it was at least at the Nascent Soul level.

At this moment, various colors of spiritual light were constantly flying over the mountain, with various sizes and energies.

Xu Qi'an saw dozens of Jie Dan Cultivators just at the various checkpoints.

Xu Qi'an estimated that the power guarding this Hanling Mountain was probably much stronger than the force guarding Tuotian Pass.

However, in this way, Xu Qi'an felt a little relaxed.

With such a large number of Cultivators guarding the pass and such strong strength, even if the Ghost Spirit Sect attacked, it would be impossible to take it down in a short time.

And by the time a request for reinforcement was sent to the Heavenly Dao Sect, this pass could be well defended.

Xu Qi'an and others entered Hanling Mountain, presented their Sect transfer orders, and successfully entered this pass.

The person handling the transfer orders was a green-robed old man at the Peak of the Dan Formation stage. This person looked gentle, but in fact, he harbored a hidden gloom.

"You were previously Cultivators guarding Northern Spirit Pass, but now that you have come to Hanling Mountain, you must follow the rules of our Hanling Mountain."

"The requirements for guarding Hanling Mountain are that personnel from each country are dispersed and guard separately, each utilizing their strengths."

These words fell into the ears of the Cultivators, making it difficult for the Cultivators from the various Cultivation Country to accept.

"Fellow Daoist, we Cultivators from the Cultivation Country have long cooperated seamlessly, how can we be separated?"

"Wouldn't separating greatly reduce our combat effectiveness?"

A Jie Dan Cultivator from the Misty Country in the Middle Stage of Dan Formation stood out and asked, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Xu Qi'an heard this and agreed quite a bit.

If they were separated and guarded in different positions, it would be difficult for them to look after each other.

He looked at Jiang Qiuhe, Water Lingmiao, and others, and found that their expressions were also the same.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"The rules of Hanling Mountain are like this. I can understand that you want to huddle together for warmth, but the distribution of Hanling Mountain has always been this way."

"The checkpoints being guarded are all by Cultivators from various countries, and then led by several Jie Dan Cultivators from each country."

"Do we have to change it for the sake of your few Cultivation Country? This is the requirement of a Heavenly Dao Sect Nascent Soul Stage!"

"This..."

The Jie Dan Cultivator from the Misty Sect immediately sighed, retreated, and then sent a worried message to his Disciples.

Xu Qi'an understood a little upon hearing the words of the green-robed old man.

Soon, dozens of Jie Dan Cultivators came to pick people.

Xu Qi'an's current cultivation level is in the Middle Stage of Dan Formation, and he was taken by a burly, stern-faced middle-aged male Cultivator.

This person has a cultivation base at the ninth level of Dan Formation and his strength is quite impressive.

Water Lingmiao, Jiang Qiuhe, Ying Kaihe, Shen Liang, and others were also taken by other Jie Dan Cultivators in the late stage of Dan Formation.

However, what pleased Xu Qi'an was that Water Lingmiao and Jiang Qiuhe were taken by the same Jie Dan Cultivator.

And the same was true for Ying Kaihe and Shen Liang.

Most of the other Cultivation Country also had this situation, so overall there was still someone to look after.

Moreover, Xu Qi'an had previously given them many life-saving items, so he was not worried now.

As for the Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage from various countries, the green-robed old man seemed to have his own arrangements.

Xu Qi'an then followed the burly middle-aged male Cultivator to a checkpoint on Hanling Mountain.

This pass was slightly forward and was also a crucial location for the defense of Hanling Mountain.

After arriving here, Xu Qi'an found that there were several Cultivators in the Middle Stage of Dan Formation here, as well as two in the late stage of Dan Formation.

As for the Disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there were also over a hundred of them, and their clothing was varied, clearly from different Cultivation Country.

"Everyone, this is the new Fellow Daoist Chu."

The Jie Dan Cultivators who were meditating and adjusting their breath, upon seeing Xu Qi'an arrive, all opened their eyes.

They casually greeted him.

Xu Qi'an responded and then followed the guidance of the burly man to a platform.

There was also a small wooden house on the platform, which looked a bit simple.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, this is your position. Remember that every three hours, you must check if the Formation on the platform is damaged."

"In addition, you must constantly fill the platform with ling stones."

"Do you understand?"

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, and the burly man left without looking back.

Xu Qi'an looked at his task requirements and found them quite simple.

As long as no major battles occur, he can Cultivate in the White Space during other times, striving to reach the Peak of the Dan Formation stage as soon as possible.
