435: Into the Mountains

In front of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, the flying boats brought forth surging power.

Inside a certain flying boat, Zhou Changle stood among the Disciples, his gaze deep, looking towards the mountains below the sea of clouds, his face showing no expression.

This was his first time coming to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

When he was in the Sect before, he knew about the dangers here from other Disciples. Now that he was coming for the first time, he didn't expect it to be under these circumstances.

In the vast mountains, peaks stood tall, mist permeated, making it hard to see clearly.

Occasionally, spiritual light soared into the sky, and huge sounds echoed between heaven and earth.

The battles between Cultivators affected the Momentum of heaven and earth, and the impact produced was immeasurable.

As the flying boats entered the mountains, large swathes of spiritual light enveloped the entire area, and the power of the Formation that came with the flying boats was also affecting the area below.

This side belonged to the Azure Origin Sect's camp, so they were not affected by any impact.

Only then did the Disciples of the Azure Origin Sect fully see this mountain range.

They saw the mountains, the giant valleys, the plains, and various mysterious and infinite Ruins.

This was once the site of an ancient Immortal Sect, and there was also a broken Spirit Vein. The vast region hid who knows how many ancient treasures.

But now, the place was full of apprehension, and everyone had no time to worry about the treasures buried in the years.

Entering the mountains, Zhou Changle smelled a pungent scent of blood.

Logically, this area was so vast that even if someone was bleeding, the smell wouldn't spread here, let alone with the flying boats covered by formations.

Unless someone self-destructed, their essence blood permeating the entire area!

With this thought, Zhou Changle frowned.

This great battle was even more tragic than he had imagined.

He looked at his brothers and sisters beside him and sent a voice transmission: "Later, be extremely careful. If you are no match, retreat decisively. Do not act impulsively."

His voice was extremely solemn and serious, causing the others to nod solemnly as well.

Before coming, Zhou Luo had privately instructed him to ensure the safety of his brothers and sisters.

Back then, it was because of his carelessness that his eldest brother Zhou Changan died at the hands of the Lu Family.

So many years had passed, but that incident was still deeply imprinted in his heart.

He silently swore in his heart that even if he gave his all, he would never let his brothers and sisters get into trouble, living up to his Father's expectations.

"Brother, don't worry, Father also gave us many trump cards," Zhou Changqing replied.

For this expedition, Zhou Luo basically prepared a bottle of Second Order Spirit Pills and ten Second Order Talismans for each of his children.

These things were enough to give them a great advantage when facing Foundation Establishment Realm Experts.

Unless a Golden Core True Person made a move, their Life safety would not be threatened at all.

"Don't be careless," Zhou Changle said coldly.

Boom—

Just then, a roar came from the front. The leading flying boat began to descend, and the other flying boats also landed one after another.

The Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was seized, and the Azure Origin Sect established a stronghold in a valley plain and set up several Third-Order Spell formations.

When the flying boats landed, the high-ranking officials of the Sect flew towards the spacious pavilion in the center, while the other Disciples were assigned according to the initial arrangements.

Zhou Changle and the others were Elders, and they also had to take care of the Disciple assignments.

According to the requirements from above, he was assigned to the backbone camp, specifically responsible for main output.

Although it seemed like main output, as long as the decisive battle didn't fully begin, most of the so-called backbone camp wouldn't act rashly. So this could also be considered the Sect's protection for these important Disciples.

Besides him and some important Disciples of the Heaven Alliance, what Zhou Changle didn't expect was that Zhou Changqing was actually assigned to the vanguard camp.

The vanguard camp was different from the backbone camp. Before the decisive battle arrived, the vanguard camp was a sharp knife meant to be plunged into the enemy's heart.

So here, you needed to fight every day, you needed to battle with the people of the Crimson Light Sect, constantly seizing your own territory and expanding the battlefield.

Previously, the vanguard camp was filled with some Outer Sect Disciples and ordinary Disciples, because the Sect could not afford the loss of important Disciples.

But now, the battle situation was intensifying, and even Disciples like Zhou Changqing had to join the vanguard camp and make a move.

Besides him, Zhou Changle also found that a large number of Heaven Alliance Disciples were assigned to the vanguard camp, while the Sect's direct Disciples were all in the backbone camp.

Clearly, the Azure Origin Sect indeed wanted to target the Heaven Alliance.

As the largest force among the Disciples, its existence now greatly restricted the performance of the direct Disciples.

As a larger Zhou Family, the people above naturally hoped that people from their own faction could have more say, especially the direct Disciples with blood ties.

In fact, to deal with the Heaven Alliance, these direct Disciples had also privately formed various large and small forces.

However, without exception, none of these forces could compare to the Heaven Alliance, and they couldn't even compete with them in terms of benefits and treatment.

In the end, it was because they belonged to different factions and couldn't unite. How could a scattered group compare to them?

Therefore, in this matter, the Azure Origin Sect's choice to weaken the Heaven Alliance's power was a correct one.

This could also serve as a warning, telling them not to go too far.

Facing this situation, Zhou Changle, the founder of the Heaven Alliance, was completely helpless. He could only proceed with the plan according to the arrangements of his Father, Zhou Luo.

"Be careful in everything."

Before the army, Zhou Changle called Zhou Changqing aside and said seriously.

"Don't worry, Brother, you still don't know me?" Zhou Changqing said with full confidence.

His personality was completely opposite to Zhou Luo's. Not only was his style of doing things ostentatious, but he also loved to fight.

Before coming, he had already applied to enter the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, but was refused by his Revered Master.

Now that he was finally here, he couldn't wait to get on the field and kill the enemy.

Battles within the Sect could not harm Life, and there were many scruples.

But here, he could act recklessly, completely without worrying about violating Sect rules.

"I know you too well, don't act impulsively," Zhou Changle rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, okay, I have something else to do, I'm leaving."

Zhou Changqing nodded vigorously and quickly turned to leave.

Compared to the enemies in battle, he felt that his overly cautious brother was even more terrifying.

Before long, small teams from the Azure Origin Sect left the stronghold and entered the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, beginning to search for enemies.

Zhou Changqing was a Foundation Establishment Expert, and he also needed to lead a small team.

And this small team was basically all Heaven Alliance Disciples.

When these people saw that they were following Zhou Changqing, their originally uneasy hearts immediately settled down.

Over the years, Zhou Changqing's reputation in the Azure Origin Sect was close to that of those long-established experts. Privately, everyone deeply admired and respected him.

Because his style of doing things was completely opposite to this backstabbing and deceptive Cultivation world, he thus became a light in the hearts of countless weak people and was sought after.

If it were him, even when encountering danger, he would definitely not abandon a companion, right?

Everyone's hearts were at ease because they had such thoughts.
