Chapter 256: Qixin Sect Attacks Zhengqi Sect

Obtaining the qixin grass meant becoming the next Sect Master, and the Sect would put all its resources into training that person to become a Martial King. What a wonderful opportunity! The entire Sect could rely on this qixin grass to create glory once more!

Everyone became excited, hoping that someone would stand up the next second.

For a long time, the deathly silent atmosphere made people feel heavy.

"Kill! Whoever finds the qixin grass will be the next Sect Master and become a Martial King!"

"Quick, there are Zhengqi Sect Disciples here, kill them for me!"

At this moment, overwhelming shouts of killing came from outside, startling everyone present.

"Whoever among you has the qixin grass, stand up now, and we will do our best to cover your escape!" Elder Gao said anxiously, knowing the situation was critical.

How he wished a Disciple would stand up now; even if he had to risk his old life, he would protect that person.

Unfortunately, after a long while, no Disciple stood up.

"Elder Gao, why don't we fend off the attack first? If the qixin grass is truly within the Sect, I believe it will eventually surface one day!"

A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Elder Gao is needed outside to organize our forces; if we don't go out now, our Zhengqi Sect is finished!"

Another Disciple said.

"Alright, we will go out and drive back the Qixin Sect first!"

Elder Gao took a deep breath and said loudly.

Qin Ming felt a surge of joy upon hearing the shouts of killing from afar.

He had been waiting impatiently; the Qixin Sect had finally arrived.

Qin Ming changed into a Zhengqi Sect Disciple's attire, took a divine form pill to alter his appearance, and headed towards the source of the shouting.

Hiding behind a rock, Qin Ming observed the Qixin Sect's forces.

"One, two… ten, ten Elders have come, and the rest are just cannon fodder."

He searched carefully again, and indeed there was no Martial King. Qin Ming was overjoyed.

If there were a Martial King expert here, he would turn around and leave without a second word.

"It seems the Martial King is severely injured and dare not come out now, only sending some Martial Spirit Elders over."

He had heard that the Qixin Sect's Martial King was injured, but that Martial King shrouded in black mist had chased him around quite energetically, making him think at one point that it was just a rumor.

Now that no Martial King had come to attack the Zhengqi Sect, Qin Ming was finally certain that the Qixin Sect's Martial King was indeed injured, and severely at that!

Being chased by the Martial King that time, the expert must have been forcing themselves through the injury.

It made sense; he had stolen the most precious treasure from the Secret Realm, so that Martial King naturally wanted to tear him to pieces.

Qin Ming felt relieved and continued to observe the battle between the two sides, preparing to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.

"Elder Gao, I didn't expect you to still be alive. What, now that your Sect Master is dead, have you become the person in charge of the Zhengqi Sect?"

A Qixin Sect Elder holding a steel blade sneered as he looked at Elder Gao, who was standing at the front commanding the Zhengqi Sect Disciples to fend off their attack.

"Zhang Huai, you are bullying us too much! Our Zhengqi Sect has already lost; must you drive us to extinction?"

Elder Gao said in a deep voice.

"Haha… It's not impossible for us to retreat, as long as your Zhengqi Sect hands over the qixin grass, I will leave with my men immediately without another word."

"Furthermore, our Qixin Sect will become an ally of your Zhengqi Sect, protecting the Zhengqi Sect, which has no Martial King, for a hundred years. How about that?"

Zhang Huai, holding the steel blade, laughed loudly.

"We didn't take the qixin grass! You should go look elsewhere!" Elder Gao said in a deep voice, "If our Zhengqi Sect had the qixin grass, would we stay here and bicker with you? We would have hidden away long ago."

"We would wait until we had cultivated a few Martial Kings before coming out to reclaim our great lands!"
