Chapter 14: Attacking the Mountain

"Humph, this old man is Punanzi. Juniors of the Hengyue Sect, the several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of your Hengyue Sect who went to the Outer Realm Battlefield have all perished in battle.

You cannot hold onto this Hengyue Peak. Rather than letting others profit from it, it would be better to hand it over to this old man.

Now, everyone, leave this place quickly. For the sake of the past relationship between our two Sects, this old man will not do anything as ruthless as driving you to extinction."

Master Huanglong and the other Elders instantly had drastic changes in their expressions, and then quickly led a crowd of Inner Sect Disciples towards the direction of the Sect's main hall.

The instant Master Huanglong just arrived at the Sect's main hall, more than a dozen figures also rushed out from the distant inner mountain of the Hengyue Sect, quickly appearing by Master Huanglong's side.

Sun Xuan silently sized up these dozen or so figures, discovering that most of them were Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Among them, the cultivation of two elderly men had reached the Core Formation Stage.

Under Sun Xuan's perception, an old man with crane-like hair and a youthful complexion had a cultivation that should be in the Core Formation Middle Stage.

As for the other old woman, her cultivation was just like Sun Xuan's, merely in the Core Formation Early Stage.

As soon as these two appeared, their gazes first concentrated on Sun Xuan, as if they wanted to say something.

Yet Sun Xuan stood aside with a calm and collected expression, as if he hadn't noticed the two people's gaze.

Seeing this, these two Core Formation Stage Cultivators of the Hengyue Sect could only silently let out a sigh.

Then they cast their gazes toward Punanzi in mid-air outside the mountain gate.

When Sun Xuan previously attacked and severely injured Ouyang Qing, these two Core Formation Cultivators had witnessed it with their own eyes.

In their view, Sun Xuan being able to instantly heavily injure a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator showed that his cultivation was at least in the Core Formation Stage, just like them.

Now that disaster was imminent for the Hengyue Sect, the two of them hoped that Sun Xuan could step in and help out.

Unfortunately, this Cultivator who disguised his cultivation as the Qi Condensation Stage clearly had no intention of stepping in to help them.

There was no other choice; right now, they could only get through this great tribulation first, and then slowly talk with Sun Xuan afterwards.

Seeing this, the old man with crane-like hair and a youthful complexion looked at Punanzi and said loudly:

"Senior Punanzi, what do you mean by those words? The Nascent Soul Stage ancestors of our Hengyue Sect are merely trapped in the Outer Realm Battlefield, and no one has seen them perish with their own eyes.

Senior, you have come to forcibly occupy the mountain gate of our Hengyue Sect based on some groundless rumors.

Aren't you afraid that after the several Nascent Soul Stage ancestors of our Hengyue Sect return, they will make things difficult for you?!"

After hearing what the old man said, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Punanzi's mouth as he spoke:

"Liu Wenju, stop putting on a pretentious act in front of this old man.

The several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of your Hengyue Sect died right as I watched; waiting for them to return from the Outer Realm Battlefield is simply impossible!"

As soon as Punanzi's voice fell, the expressions of all the Hengyue Sect Cultivators drastically changed.

The expressions of Liu Wenju and that Core Formation Stage old woman also turned uncertain.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that Liu Wenju stopped speaking, an expression of impatience immediately appeared on Punanzi's Face.

"Since you people refuse to see reason, then let this old man break your Hengyue Sect's mountain-guarding Formation and make you completely recognize reality!"

As soon as his voice fell, Punanzi waved his hand, and a pitch-black small mountain instantly appeared.

This small mountain grew against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a towering giant peak.

Immediately following that, Punanzi formed hand seals with both hands, uttering a few complex and obscure syllables from his mouth.

That huge peak immediately smashed down. With a loud crash, a light barrier appeared above Cangsong Peak and Hengyue Peak.

This light barrier was like an inverted giant bowl, blocking the smashed giant peak. Although it constantly fluctuated under the pressure of the giant peak, it still temporarily protected the Hengyue Sect.

Standing under the protection of the Hengyue Sect's Formation, Sun Xuan revealed a trace of shock in his eyes.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator, truly terrifying to this extent!

"As expected of a great Sect from five hundred years ago, this Formless Void Transformation Formation truly has some tricks to it.

It can actually disperse all attacks.

But this old man wants to see, without any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators holding down the fort, how many strikes from this old man can this Formation block!"

Seeing this, Liu Wenju and that Core Formation Stage old woman instantly changed their expressions drastically.

Then they immediately brought several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, came to the stone platform of Cangsong Peak, and sat down cross-legged.

With Cultivators holding down the fort, this mountain-guarding Formation immediately became even more stable.

Unfortunately, what they were facing was Punanzi, the number one expert of the State of Zhao. A Formation of this level still could not stop him.

"Boom!"

The giant peak slammed onto the mountain-guarding Formation once again, although it didn't shatter the Formation.

However, the several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators presiding over the Formation instantly blushed under the immense pressure.

In the blink of an eye, Punanzi's third strike followed closely behind.

This time, Punanzi was clearly playing for real.

Under Punanzi's urging, the already unimaginably huge peak expanded by more than ten times in the blink of an eye.

After hearing a loud crash, one of the eight white jade Formation bases instantly burst apart.

A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator sitting on top of it was instantly severely injured under the backlash of the Formation, falling to the ground with blood bleeding from all seven orifices.

Just like that, Punanzi urged the giant peak with a ferocious expression, smashing it onto the Hengyue Sect's mountain-guarding Formation time and time again.

Every time it bombarded, one or two Formation bases would crack, severely injuring the Foundation Establishment Cultivators sitting atop them.

After a few strikes, only Liu Wenju, that Core Formation Stage old woman, and two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were still bitterly holding on.

Seeing this, Punanzi raised his hand and threw a purplish-red gourd.

He saw the mouth of the gourd tilt slightly, and a dark red liquid immediately poured out, then flashing with scorching flames, completely enveloping the giant peak.

"Break!"

Accompanied by a low shout from Punanzi, the flaming giant peak instantly smashed down.

With a loud crash, web-like cracks instantly appeared on the Formation's light barrier.

After several rounds of bombardment, the several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators presiding over the Formation all fell to the ground severely injured.

Although the power of this mountain-guarding Formation somewhat exceeded Punanzi's expectations, at this moment, being broken was just a matter of moments right before his eyes.

"Senior Punanzi, the Xuandao Sect and our Hengyue Sect have always been on good terms. Do you really intend to drive us to extinction?!"

Seeing this, the Hengyue Sect Core Formation Cultivator Liu Wenju immediately shouted and questioned Punanzi with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Liu Wenju, being willing to let all of you of the Hengyue Sect leave is already out of consideration for the many years of good relations between the two Sects!

The power of this mountain-guarding Formation is quite good, and it would be a pity to destroy it. If you are willing to open it yourselves, considering the Face of the many years of good relations between the two Sects, I can still protect you a little or two.

Otherwise, humph!"

Hearing this, an expression of hesitation instantly appeared on Liu Wenju's Face.

Liu Wenju had traveled outside for many years in his early years, and had a very profound understanding of the cruelty of the Immortal Realm.

This mountain-guarding Formation obviously could not stop Punanzi. If he and the others delayed in opening the Formation and angered Punanzi,

By then, once the Formation was broken, in case Punanzi ruthlessly killed all the Disciples of their Hengyue Sect,

Then his Hengyue Sect would truly be completely annihilated.

Liu Wenju had his misgivings, but the Core Formation Stage old woman at the side completely disregarded those things.

She saw her shout loudly with an expression of anger,

"Senior Punanzi, please forgive us, but we cannot comply!"
