Chapter 832: Chapter 603: Besieging Qingcheng Mountain, Wang Yang Arrives on a Sword_2

A loud series of violent collisions came from the outside. The heavy cavalry of the Cold Wolf Army was crazily impacting the barrier of the Mountain Protection Array. The barrier had already begun to show signs of cracking.

Qing Yuanzi came to his senses and focused his gaze on the man who had just entered the formation to launch a sneak attack on him. He asked in a deep voice.

The man, having his internal organs shattered by a strike of Thunder Penalty, was severely injured. His breathing was extremely weak, and he could only struggle to get up with a trembling voice.

"It seems you are not entirely clueless! Tell me the whereabouts of Wang Yang, and I can leave you with a whole corpse!"

"Heh, just you, a dying man?"

Qing Yuanzi sneered repeatedly, his tone full of mockery, as if he did not even consider the man worth noticing.

This contempt shattered the man’s self-esteem. As a master of the Zhangsun Lineage, no one had dared to ridicule him so coldly!

"Courting death! This Mountain Protection Array will last at most another hour. By then, the Cold Wolf Army will break through the barrier’s defenses, raze your Qingcheng Mountain Sect to the ground, and you will die with no place for burial!"

"Heh, at least I’ll die after you!"

Qing Yuanzi confirmed the man’s identity as undoubtedly from the Zhangsun Lineage. That was enough, at least it gave him a reason to kill.

Qing Yuanzi was a disciple of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, having been personally trained and nurtured by him. His kindness was akin to that of a parent.

Back then, the Zhangsun Lineage had destroyed the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain’s Dantian Qi Sea, causing his cultivation realm to plummet and preventing any future breakthroughs. Although the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain could forgive this hatred, Qing Yuanzi never forgot!

"I wonder if you still remember that when you massacred the Zhao Family of the Southern Border, there was a woman who fled from the Southern Border to the Northern Territories with a seven-year-old boy!"

Qing Yuanzi spoke slowly, his tone extremely cold, walking towards the people of the Zhangsun Lineage.

Killing intent was sharp!

"Impossible! That boy is already dead. Many people saw it with their own eyes!"

The man shook his head frantically upon hearing this. After changing the Crown Prince, the Zhangsun Lineage had feared the Zhao Family of the Southern Border would seek revenge, so they sent assassins to slaughter over three hundred members of the Zhao Family in one night.

Only a woman from the Zhao Family, with the cultivation level of a celestial Immortal, escaped with a direct descendant, a seven-year-old boy, secretly hoping to preserve a sliver of their lineage.

The Zhao Family had deep ties with the Guardian Sun King Si Yun, so they fled a great distance from the Southern Region to the Northern Territories, but they were discovered by members of the Zhangsun Lineage just as they entered the Northern Border.

At that time, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was traveling and came across the woman being besieged and killed. He intervened to save her, but despite a fierce battle, they were outmatched.

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, with the cultivation level of a celestial Immortal, forcibly carried the woman and the boy away. Still, they could not escape the pursuit. In the end, the woman burned her celestial Immortal Spiritual Power to temporarily hold off the pursuers, giving the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain the time and opportunity to escape.

Finally, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain returned to the Qingcheng Mountain Sect and activated the Mountain Protection Array, keeping the experts of the Zhangsun Lineage outside the mountain gate.

But the direct descendants of the Zhao Family had to die. If weeds are not completely uprooted, they will become a future scourge.

Therefore, the Zhangsun Lineage privately mobilized the Sky Wolf Army of the Five Tigers and Seven Wolves Division, pressing the army to this point, very similar to today.

The Sky Wolf Army, the leading division of the Seven Wolves Army, was commanded by the Sky Wolf Marquis Wang Qing, who was at the mid celestial Immortal cultivation level. With his life-bound magic weapon, the Tyrant Dragon Spear, which had absorbed countless blood to form, his killing aura was overwhelming, and few could match him!

But the Zhangsun Lineage did not want the news of their massacre of the Zhao Family in the Southern Region to leak out. In the Southern Region, there were many aristocratic families, and once the news spread, it would certainly cause panic.

The Emperor, to calm people’s hearts, would likely severely punish the Zhangsun Lineage, considering that in the Southern Region, the Zhao Family was just an average aristocratic family, not worth mentioning compared to many major families.

Though the Zhao Family was massacred overnight, no one would suspect the Zhangsun Clan, as every family had its grudges, especially in the Southern Territories where spirits and ghosts prevailed.

Without solid evidence, who would dare to come forward and accuse the Zhangsun Lineage, risking their wrath?

As the army pressed on, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was naturally outmatched and finally had his cultivation shattered by a single spear thrust from Wang Qing, causing his realm to plummet to an Earth Immortal and making future breakthroughs impossible.

And that seven-year-old boy was pierced through the chest by Wang Qing’s spear and nailed to the Qilin statue at the mountain gate in front of the crowd!

Many people witnessed this scene!

Qing Yuanzi touched the unhealed gunshot wound on his chest, his expression icy. Wang Qing had been too arrogant back then, and that spear had not pierced his heart but the Qingcheng Eight Trigrams Mirror, the sect’s treasure.

In other words, the Qingcheng Eight Trigrams Mirror had taken the spear for Qing Yuanzi!

Because of the public execution, and not wanting to create too much commotion, Wang Qing did not completely destroy the Qingcheng Mountain Sect and left after a brief attack.

After all, the traces of the Zhao Family massacre could be disguised as the work of spirits, but to flatten a sect and break through its Mountain Protection Array would inevitably come at a cost.

The traces left by the army would be hard to completely erase.

Flattening a cultivator sect without cause would be equivalent to breaking the truce agreement between the Royal Family and the cultivation sects, and they might face retaliation from the cultivation sects.

Although the Royal Family of the Wangs ruled the world and controlled its fate, the Tian Shan cultivation lineage had a history dating back to ancient times, deep and unfathomable.

Otherwise, the Royal Family would not have agreed to a truce with them, agreeing not to infringe upon each other!

The crime of destroying a sect was something Wang Qing could not bear!

After a brief attack, he withdrew his army quickly. Perhaps Wang Qing did not expect that his spear had failed to kill a seven-year-old boy!

"Time to go!"

Qing Yuanzi pointed to the void with a finger, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertips, instantly blasting the man’s body into dust!

Beside the Marquis of Mountain Suppression Li Bu, an expert of the Zhangsun Clan’s face suddenly changed dramatically. This bolt of lightning was no ordinary Thunder and Lightning Laws!

Normal Thunder and Lightning Laws required communication with The Great Dao to condense, but what Qing Yuanzi had just used, was done casually!

The Bloodline Power of the Zhao Family, Thunder Penalty of Five Strikes!

"What’s the matter?"

Feeling the change in Zhangsun Yi’s expression beside him, Li Bu could not help but ask. To cause such a dignified celestial Immortal to lose composure, it was undoubtedly a significant matter!

"The remnants of the Zhao Family! Marquis, please issue the order to accelerate the pace of breaking the formation!"

Zhangsun Yi squinted his eyes and said coldly.

Apparently, Qing Yuanzi was planning to fight desperately today. Otherwise, he would not have chosen this moment to reveal himself after hiding for so many years!

"Alright! Charge the formation, all troops!"

Li Bu, somewhat knowledgeable about the events of that year, hurriedly gave the order upon hearing the words ’remnants of the Zhao Family.’

"Boom!!!"

The full force of the Cold Wolf Army charged the formation, causing the Mountain Protection Array to instantly tremble violently, with cracks spreading like a spider web.

"Where are the disciples of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect?"

The Mountain Protection Array was about to shatter, but logically, the disciples of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect should appear at this time to reinforce the formation, as many Elders had been bribed by the Zhangsun Clan. But not a single expert disciple of the sect was in sight.

From the siege to now, not a single disciple of the sect had appeared, which was quite unreasonable.

With the sect facing imminent destruction, disciples might not choose to live or die with it, but they should at least be impassioned to fight one last time.

"He is stalling for time! Does the Qingcheng Mountain Sect have a rear mountain?"

Realizing suddenly, Li Bu asked the think tank in a deep voice. The think tank took out a map, his face changing, and respectfully pointed at a location on the map.

"The Qingcheng Mountain Sect is connected by six mountains, rugged and continuous, but there is indeed a rear mountain hidden within."

"Take people there, seal off the rear mountain. If there is resistance, kill them on the spot. After, I will arrange for relevant documents from the Ministry of War. The Qingcheng Mountain Sect ignores the sacred edict of the Emperor, obstructing our army’s search of the mountain gate. I would like to see who dares to stop our iron cavalry today!"

"Yes, Marquis!"

The think tank took the order and was about to leave when suddenly, a bone-chilling voice of a teenager echoed throughout the Qingcheng Mountain Sect.

"How will the Marquis explain to the Emperor about slaughtering ordinary villagers who could not cultivate?"

"Who?"

Li Bu’s face changed dramatically. Zhangsun Yi beside him snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a blast of spiritual power roared towards the void above!

Bang!

A loud explosion was heard, and the spiritual power was torn apart by a streak of Sword Qi as Wang Yang’s figure slowly condensed, floating in the void, with a Dragon Scale Sword standing still at his feet.

Next to Wang Yang, Su Yue formed a hand gesture with both hands, standing on the Dragon Scale Sword. Seven other swords surrounded her, their tips pointing straight at Li Bu!
