444: desperate situation

Swish, swish, swish!

The sound of breaking through the air continued to ring out. Magic Treasures and even Cultivators flew towards the main peak of the Qingling Sect one after another.

After the Grand Array was broken, all the players were so excited their eyes turned red; there was no organization left to speak of.

Everyone knew that even if the final Legacy was to be made public, the players who arrived first would inevitably obtain unique benefits.

Boom!

The first loud bang rang out.

It was a Yao Race player who had released their Demon Body, crashing directly into the mountain with an unstoppable momentum.

The mountains of the Qingling Sect were not ordinary mountains, but Spirit Peaks that had been continuously nourished by Spiritual Veins and tempered by Formations for thousands of years; they could almost be called immortal mountains.

Therefore, when the Yao Race player crashed into it, it only produced a roaring sound without suffering any damage.

Instead, the Yao Race player cried out in pain.

"Good stuff!"

The other players saw this scene, and their eyes lit up.

No wonder the Qingling Sect wanted to relocate the entire Sect and take all the peaks with them; these peaks, nurtured for thousands of years, were the best treasures!

"This thing is mine! Don't fight me for it!"

"Get lost! Just because you say it's yours, it's yours?"

"Let's see who has the ability!"

The players all used their methods, attacking each other.

The first to bear the brunt was the Yao Race player who had charged into the mountain first. Before they could even recover, they were hit by dozens of Daoist Magic spells, letting out a wail.

Other players flew to the foot of the mountain, forming hand seals and casting spells, attempting to lift the entire mountain peak directly.

"Eh? That's not right, it won't move."

"Are you too weak? You don't even know how to move a mountain?"

Even if a Golden Core Cultivator didn't specialize in mountain-moving and didn't know how to collect Spiritual Veins, relying on their Golden Core cultivation, they should still be able to easily move the entire mountain away.

Thus, after the first player failed, other players immediately rushed over to cast spells, wanting to dig the mountain out.

But soon, all the players failed.

"This whole mountain range is connected; it seems to be fixed by something."

"Does it have to do with the Spiritual Veins? That seems hard to move, doesn't it?"

"Has anyone learned mountain-moving? Time to work!"

Listening to the players' discussions.

Li Changfeng's eyelids twitched.

He helplessly transmitted his voice:

"Everyone, stop for a moment! Don't act recklessly!"

"These peaks of the Qingling Sect must have been specially arranged and nurtured; it would be too much of a pity to just move them away directly."

"Once we completely take over the Qingling Sect, this place will be our new base for players. Wouldn't it be better if we all use it together then?"

"As for now... everyone don't forget, the Cultivators of the Qingling Sect haven't all died yet!"

Li Changfeng looked towards the main peak.

On the peak, clouds and mist swirled, Spiritual Qi gathered, and captive red-crowned cranes flew by in panic.

The Elders of the Qingling Sect gathered together, looking at Li Changfeng and the others with unkind expressions.

Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo's expression was twisted; he was clearly angry to the extreme.

He stepped forward, hovering in mid-air, widening his eyes, glaring viciously at the players, and said loudly:

"Have you all forgotten that my Qingling Sect has a True Lord sitting in command? Provoking us like this, are you truly not afraid?"

Before Li Changfeng could answer, a player nearby suddenly launched a Flying Sword, which slammed into Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo with a boom.

Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo reacted quickly, summoning a gust of wind to block it. He became even more furious and was just about to roar and say a few more harsh words.

He then saw a dozen Golden Core Players coming together, their Daoist Magic spells shining so brightly it seemed to blot out the sky. Among them, someone had silently unleashed an Innate Divine Power, and flames instantly surged.

Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo didn't even have time to think; he could only dodge in a sorry state, but he was still hit by a few moves, and half of his body was forcibly shattered.

"Grand Elder!"

The other Elders of the Qingling Sect exclaimed in shock, not expecting the players to be so decisive in their attacks.

No, shouldn't they be trash-talking for a while according to logic?

Shouldn't they clarify the current situation of the True Lord before fighting?

Why did they start fighting so inexplicably?

Not only them, but Li Changfeng was also somewhat helpless and quickly spoke up:

"Don't kill them all, leave some alive, otherwise it won't be easy to find the Legacy."

This was the first time the players had attacked a quasi-fourth-grade Sect; they were so excited that they couldn't be managed or organized, and everything they saw was fair game to kill.

Li Changfeng could only try his best to awaken their reason, letting them know that if they really killed everyone, the quest chain would be broken!

After his reminder, the players became much more sober, and their attacks couldn't help but be much more restrained.

This immediately made Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo and the others feel even more stifled.

Seeing that the players had already slaughtered their way to the peak and had even overturned the main assembly hall, Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo's eyes turned completely red.

"Hold them off!"

He gave an order to the Elders, then immediately turned and left.

With only half his body left, he had almost lost his combat power. The players couldn't be bothered to care about him, only focusing on fighting the other Golden Core Elders and targeting the Immortal Foundation Disciples of the Qingling Sect who dared to step forward.

As one Immortal Foundation Disciple after another was blasted into slag, the Elders of the Qingling Sect were absolutely furious.

Finally, some used secret techniques for temporary enhancement, or Medicinal Pills and Talismans that greatly boosted combat power; in short, all were methods that damaged their Foundation and Lifespan.

But this was still to no avail; the number of Golden Core Players was simply too high. If they hadn't intentionally held back, they would have been able to completely wipe out the Qingling Sect's Golden Cores in the first wave of attacks.

"..."

Li Changfeng watched this scene, his brows furrowing.

He always felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't say what was wrong.

He released his Spiritual Sense and carefully detected.

The Elders of the Qingling Sect were fighting desperately, most of the Disciples were hiding in the shelter, and the heavily wounded Grand Elder Disciple-Grandson Xiao Jingbo was also rushing towards the shelter.

It looked very normal, indeed the final resistance, with no abnormalities.

But Li Changfeng still felt something was wrong.

He thought for a moment and looked at a Bird Demon beside him: "Do you feel like something is wrong?"

This Bird Demon was a powerful Demon Body expert from the Demon Race Outside the Wall, skilled in hiding its aura. This time, it had followed Li Changfeng and the others across the Yuyao Kingdom to the North Mountain to investigate the situation of the Qingling Sect in advance.

When asked by Li Changfeng, the Bird Demon opened its mouth and said: "They might be waiting for True Lord Feng Chuan, but it's also possible they have another trump card."

Li Changfeng frowned: "What do you mean?"

The Bird Demon explained patiently:

"For a Sect like the Qingling Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, the obsession with the Dao Tradition Inheritance is deeper with each generation."

"When the Grand Array is broken and they are at their wit's end, the Elders will definitely fight to the death, letting the Disciples scatter and flee, just to ensure the Dao Tradition can be passed down."

"But now the entire Qingling Sect is surrounded, yet the Disciples have not fled; instead, they are hiding in the shelter."

The Bird Demon paused and said: "They should have a way to contact True Lord Feng Chuan; it took you several days to break the Grand Array, which was enough time for them to confirm the situation."

"Logically speaking, they should know that True Lord Feng Chuan has likely met with an accident, and the Qingling Sect will most likely be destroyed."

"The most important thing to do is to organize an escape..."

Li Changfeng frowned: "But they didn't..."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the message sent by Xiao Buyu, saying that Xiao Lingfeng had mentioned their hidden background.
