Chapter 448: Chapter 7 Break Through the Mountain Stronghold! _2

"Brothers and sisters, form the formation!"

A series of martial artists, all similarly dressed, rushed out in unison. Their breaths converged, both men and women: the men in white, the women in black. Their cultivation technique breaths encircled each other in a Ying Yang Reincarnation-like manner, forming an existence akin to a military formation.

The leader, a middle-aged man, roared:

"This is the Zhenbei branch altar of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect. Who are you, and why have you come to pay respects to our mountain!"

"Which sect or school are you from!"

Li Guanyi did not bother to answer him by name.

He drew his bow and shot consecutively.

It seemed the middle-aged man had not expected the visitor to disregard such martial world customs and was enraged. He drew his blade and cleaved the incoming arrows, his Jin Qi erupting, his power already that of the Second Layer Heaven. But in the next moment, an object tore through the air towards him.

He instinctively reached for his sword to block.

He pushed his cultivation to the limit.

With a crisp sound, the sword shattered, and a battle halberd pierced directly through his chest.

He had actually thrown a dark golden battle halberd!

The halberd tip emerged from the back of the martial artist.

What tremendous force.

A Second Layer Heaven martial artist was directly thrown several zhang away by the force of the throw, landing heavily on the ground, spouting blood. The warhorse carrying the young Taoist sprinted madly; as Li Guanyi ran, he grabbed the halberd and thrust it forward violently.

The middle-aged official was flung out like a giant pendulum, heavily crashing down.

The young man, holding the battle halberd, rode a steed personally trained by Mr. Lei of Divine Beast Manor with a trace of Exotic Beast bloodline. Exhilarated by the sight of blood, the horse neighed loudly, charging and fighting back and forth on the martial arts stage. Li Guanyi, with both hands on the halberd, brandished it in battle, his Inner Qi surging.

At close range, there was the battle halberd; at a distance, divine shooting.

Further, his Inner Qi left his body, forming tear-like Qi Radiance.

Finally, someone recognized him, screaming, "Riding a warhorse, his aura like a general..."

"It’s, it’s the Spear Madman!"

"It’s Li Guanyi!"

With a flick of Li Guanyi’s wrist, his Jin Qi tore through the air, forming a crescent moon and instantly slaying the man. Numerous disciples screamed to flee, but as they charged out, they noticed smoke and dust everywhere, the commotion thunderous. In all four cardinal directions, there seemed to be hundreds of people present.

If they chose to charge in that direction, death was certain.

Yet there was only Li Guanyi in front.

Escaping in this direction offered a slight chance of survival.

They all yelled and charged forward, unleashing their Martial Arts. Li Guanyi grasped the halberd, spurred the warhorse on, his Inner Qi exploding with the speed of the horse, back and forth in combat, the halberd sweeping wildly, with hardly an enemy to match a single exchange.

Within the quiet room of this branch altar.

Three people were having a secret conversation about a significant matter that involved the Qilin Hunting Conference. Therefore, the doors were sealed with Heavy Green Stone, rendering any sounds inside inaudible to someone standing outside, and vice versa.

A beautiful woman said, "The Blood Elixir prepared for Lady Hua Rui should be ready."

"It was made by using one hundred and sixty-six pure Yin girls born under Yin hour, Yin month, Yin day, decapitated at the moment of breaking their maidenhood, their fresh blood finally simmered to completion, able to preserve one’s appearance, not decaying for a year."

The middle-aged man beside her smiled and said, "Seeing how good your complexion is, it seems you must have benefited quite a bit yourself, huh?"

The beautiful woman chuckled seductively, "I only ingested some leftover residues."

"I certainly didn’t shortchange Lady Hua Rui."

The middle-aged man said, "That’s good. Send it to Zhenbei City before the Qilin Hunting Conference."

"Then prepare the Blood Elixir for the next year."

The woman asked, "Is this Qilin Hunting Conference really that important?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Of course, haha, you must think everyone is just going after the Qilin, but that’s not the case. Even those individuals have reached the Grandmaster level, their Martial Arts and Inner Qi have already established schools, just, they prefer to avoid the strife, that’s why they are not listed on the Grandmasters List."

"But that is a Qilin, an Exotic Beast of the Heavens. Since ancient times, it’s among the top ten on the Divine Beast List."

"The previous Qilin was in the Academy, under the protection of Gongyang Su, who is invincible under heaven in the Vast Ancient Path of Confucianism. This Fire Qilin, before, was in the Imperial Palace of Chen Country; even earlier, under the protection of the fifth-ranked Divine General, Taiping Duke."

"Though Grandmasters are strong, they can’t control such a creature, and even if they could, there would be endless troubles. This Qilin Hunting Conference is merely to draw a large gathering of martial world figures from Chen Country’s Northern Border and Ying Country’s Southern Border."

"Afterward, to fight over the leader of this area."

"Not to hide it from you, even individuals from the Yuwen Family are involved this time."

The beautiful woman’s expression dramatically changed: "The Yuwen Family that holds up the sky with one hand in Ying Country?"

Seeing the shocked expression of the beautiful woman, the middle-aged man continued calmly:

"Yes."

The elder sitting at the head looked down, and the middle-aged man stopped the topic, smiling:

"Next, let the altar master speak for himself."

The old man spoke slowly: "I was about to tell you, just waiting for the right moment."

"Now that the world is changing, Chen Country is weakened, and the Regent King shows his face among men, the times are turbulent and an opportunity for us to rise. The Yuwen Family wishes to support the Emperor of Ying in unifying the world."

"If we can become ministers following the dragon, in the future, who’s to say I couldn’t be a Lord, and you, an Imperial Decree."

"Thousands upon thousands providing for us, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"As for that Spear Madman, he’s just a wet-behind-the-ears child."

"A mere addition."

The woman said, "But I’ve heard that the Spear Madman has done many things, even breaking through a city’s defenses..."

The elder said indifferently, "Hmm, such news, I fear, is merely something fabricated by the nobility of Chen Country to save face. It’s probably deliberately released."

"I have cultivated for 60 years and wouldn’t dare to claim I could accomplish such a feat."
