Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Are You Scared?

Gu Li and Swiftwind Valley’s Valley Master, Feng Lingtian, had been arch-rivals for many years, and Gu Li had an extensive understanding of him, never having heard about Feng Lingtian having a sister. Upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, he couldn’t help feeling greatly astounded.

"When did Feng Lingtian get such a powerful sister?"

Gu Li gazed intently at Feng Peilan and noticed that her appearance indeed resembled Feng Lingtian by six or seven points. Moreover, like Feng Lingtian, she was also a Wind System Martial Artist, and her Cultivation Level was even a notch above Feng Lingtian’s.

Gu Li took a sharp intake of breath, and as thoughts raced through his mind, he spoke out loud, "Elder Fang, this woman is a significant threat. It would be better for us to join forces and kill her first, then go and annihilate Swiftwind Valley..."

Before Fang Bai could speak, Feng Peilan shouted harshly, "I, Feng Peilan, am a Direct Disciple of the Tianji Sect from Shenwu Continent. Whoever dares to harm me, brace yourselves to be reduced to ashes!"

"Shenwu Continent... Tianji Sect..."

Upon hearing these words and taking a closer look at the clothing worn by Feng Peilan, which indeed carried the unique pattern of Tianji Sect disciples, Gu Li confirmed she was truly a disciple of the Tianji Sect. He took another sharp intake of breath, his face showing a trace of fear.

In his past travels, Gu Li had once visited the Shenwu Continent and knew of the sects and their power structures there. He knew that Tianji Sect was one of the few top-tier sects in the True Martial Realm, where even the personal disciples had reached the Cosmic Level Perfection Realm. Above these direct disciples were a dozen Universe Level Experts, regarded as the most powerful among the Martial Artists of the True Martial Realm.

Although Green Bamboo Stronghold was a second-tier sect, formidable enough to look down upon the entire Tiansheng Continent, it was still no match for a top-tier sect like the Tianji Sect.

If Gu Li and Fang Bai truly collaborated to kill Feng Peilan, and the news reached the Tianji Sect, there would be no need for their Universe Level Experts to come; just ten disciples at the Cosmic Level Perfection Realm could easily annihilate Green Bamboo Stronghold.

Thinking of the grave consequences that killing Feng Peilan might bring, Gu Li’s back ran cold, and he broke into a cold sweat.

Furthermore, since Feng Peilan was a Direct Disciple of the Tianji Sect and the sister of Feng Lingtian, this meant that Swiftwind Valley effectively had the powerful Tianji Sect as its support. If Green Bamboo Stronghold were to attack Swiftwind Valley, it would undoubtedly face retaliation from Tianji Sect, and the worst-case scenario could lead to the sect’s destruction.

This was a risk Gu Li didn’t dare to take.

"Stronghold Head Gu, are you afraid?"

Seeing the fear apparent on Gu Li’s face and sensing his intention to back down, Fang Bai, having dodged an attack from Feng Peilan, shouted, "Do you think that by retreating now, Swiftwind Valley will spare Green Bamboo Stronghold?"

Hearing this, Gu Li felt a jolt, awakening from his fear.

This time, when Green Bamboo Stronghold launched a surprise attack on Swiftwind Valley, they specifically chose the dead of night, hoping to do so without alerting anyone. However, to their surprise, they were discovered by Feng Peilan.

Gu Li understood that even if he immediately led the disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold away from this place, Feng Peilan would not ignore this incident and would definitely inform Feng Lingtian.

And with Feng Lingtian’s vengeful nature, he would surely seek fierce retaliation against Green Bamboo Stronghold.

Just dealing with Swiftwind Valley alone was enough to cause a headache for Green Bamboo Stronghold, let alone if Feng Peilan and the Tianji Sect were to come to its aid. Green Bamboo Stronghold might not be able to escape unscathed.

However, Gu Li was also a decisive person when it came to killing and fighting. He knew that no matter what, Green Bamboo Stronghold could no longer stay out of the conflict, and would sooner or later face the vengeance of Swiftwind Valley. Rather than waiting, it would be better to have a fierce battle tonight, to kill the woman before his eyes first, followed by destroying Swiftwind Valley.

As for the retaliation from Tianji Sect, that would be a problem for the future; Gu Li decided not to think about it now.

Besides, Tianji Sect was located in Shenwu Continent, separated from Tiansheng Continent by tens of thousands of miles of treacherous seas, where travel was especially difficult. From the time the news of Feng Peilan’s death reached Tianji Sect, until the Sect’s disciples arrived at Green Bamboo Stronghold for retribution, at least a year would be needed—a totally impossible timeline.

And with this year’s time, Green Bamboo Stronghold would have adequate opportunity to devise various countermeasures.

Gu Li was even already thinking that after slaying Feng Peilan and wiping out Swiftwind Valley, he would take all the cultivation resources plundered from Swiftwind Valley back to Green Bamboo Stronghold. He would then disperse those disciples with potential, having them hide temporarily, to preserve some seeds for Green Bamboo Stronghold’s potential revival one day.

As for Gu Li himself, as the Stronghold Chief, he would definitely stay behind to guard Green Bamboo Stronghold and share its fate.

"Elder Fang is right; if Swiftwind Valley isn’t destroyed, Green Bamboo Stronghold will soon suffer a backlash! By destroying Swiftwind Valley, Green Bamboo Stronghold might then have a slim chance of survival!"

Once Gu Li had made his decision, he no longer hesitated and spoke out loudly.

Seeing that Gu Li had made up his mind, Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Stronghold Head Gu, rest assured in annihilating Swiftwind Valley! As for this woman, leave her to me to handle!"

He then addressed Su Linglong and the other three ladies, "You also go and assist Stronghold Head Gu with all your might! If confronted by a powerful enemy, employ the formation to meet them in battle!"

Before entering the True Martial Realm, Fang Bai had specifically gathered his confidantes and martial artist friends and family, teaching them combined assault formations to ensure they would have some means to defend themselves after entering the True Martial Realm.

The combined assault formation taught by Fang Bai, formed by two or more people, was extremely powerful and could withstand enemies several times stronger than themselves.

Especially Su Linglong and her confidantes, who possessed Innate Spiritual Roots and exceptional Wuxing, Fang Bai taught them even higher rank combined assault formations. Previously in Green Bamboo Stronghold, Fang Bai had them pass on the formation to Zhuge Lian.

Su Linglong, Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, Linghu Baimei, these four ladies had all entered the Vast Level Realm in terms of their cultivation level. If they arranged themselves in a formation, even against the elders of Swiftwind Valley, they would be invincible.

That is to say, Su Linglong and her three companions, who had just entered the initial phase of the Vast Level Realm, when united, could contend against an expert at the high rank of the Cosmic Level. The strength of the formation passed on by Fang Bai is evident from this.

During the surprise attack on Swiftwind Valley by Green Bamboo Stronghold, as soon as the battle started, Gu Li and the upper echelons of Green Bamboo Stronghold could completely hold off the higher-ups of Swiftwind Valley. As for the other disciples of Swiftwind Valley, Su Linglong and the four ladies would not fear single combat, so Fang Bai was not worried about their personal safety. He only admonished them not to separate, and to form the formation when faced with a powerful enemy, to avoid injuries.

"If you dare to attack Swiftwind Valley, my Tianji Sect will make all the disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold wish they were neither alive nor dead!"

Seeing Gu Li turning to leave, Feng Peilan brandished her Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon in his hand, stirring up a fierce wind that pushed Fang Bai back several dozens of feet away, then threatened out loud.

Gu Li paid her no attention, gestured a fist salute towards Fang Bai, energized his Essence Energy, employed his movement technique, and raced into the ancient forest.

Su Linglong and the three other ladies knew that Fang Bai’s words were final, and seeing him becoming even more adept under the assault of Feng Peilan, they were relieved of their worries. After giving Fang Bai a deep look and silently mouthing "Take care" in their hearts, they too followed Gu Li into the ancient forest.
