Chapter 123: Not Worth a Fight

"Boom boom boom..."

As the black spaceship flew across the sky, the wind sail unfurled, causing a thunderous roar that shook the mountains.

Under such a grand spectacle, the blazing Flying Horse Sect seemed insignificant.

As she watched the spaceship pass overhead, Zhu Qiniang felt as if it had rolled over her, crushing her will and body into pieces.

She couldn't help but tightly grip Gao Xian's hand. At this moment, only Gao Xian could make her feel safe and reliable.

Gao Xian felt his fingers being crushed by Zhu Qiniang. He was far superior to her in terms of spiritual consciousness and speed, but much weaker in terms of strength.

He endured the pain and comforted her in a soft voice, "We can always start over in Lianyun City if things go south."

Zhu Qiniang finally noticed that Gao Xian's expression was a bit unnatural, so she quickly let go of his hand. "Sorry, I got a little too excited."

"Fortunately, I'm almost at the sixth level of Qi Refining. If you had held on like this two months ago, my fingers would have definitely been broken," Gao Xian said, his mood slightly suppressed but not as heavy as Zhu Qiniang's. He still had the presence of mind to joke.

Zhu Qiniang didn't find it funny. She sighed softly.

Only in front of Gao Xian could she reveal her vulnerable side without any reservations.

Seeing that the Flying Horse Sect was about to be occupied by the Seven Kill Sect, she felt helpless and frustrated.

As long as she could hold on for another year or two, with Gao Xian by her side, she would be able to completely resolve her body's abnormality and accumulate enough resources for Foundation Building.

If she could achieve Foundation Building, the situation would immediately change. Even the Foundation Building ancestor of the Zhu family would not be able to do anything to her.

Without the Flying Horse Sect, without the Changsheng Hall, none of this would be possible.

The Changsheng Hall was not only her foundation, but also Gao Xian's. It also involved the supply relationship between the Changsheng Hall and Lianyun City, which was quite complicated.

With the Changsheng Hall, she could obtain a large amount of resources from the Tengshe Mountain and use these resources to open up channels and exchange for other resources.

This included the Tian Gui Pill and the Deer Horn Powder, which were also part of the resources.

Mutual exchange was the basis of cooperation.

That's why she could easily help Gao Xian buy so many spiritual objects for cultivation.

Without the Changsheng Hall, she and Gao Xian would return to Lianyun City, but they would not have the qualifications to sell pills.

The pills in Lianyun City had long been controlled by a few families. Once popular pills like the Tian Gui Pill and the Deer Horn Powder appeared, they would be suppressed by the joint efforts of the other families.

Gao Xian's teacher, Xu Mingyuan, was notorious for his greed. If he knew that Gao Xian could earn so much money, he would definitely pay special attention to him.

Regardless of the outcome, Gao Xian would no longer have the freedom he had now, nor would he be able to obtain enough resources for cultivation. He would become someone's cash cow, working hard every day to refine pills...

The crucial point in all of this was something Gao Xian didn't quite understand, so he couldn't comprehend her distress at the moment.

"A Xian, the ancestor of the Zhu family is a big trouble. I can't go to Lianyun City," Zhu Qiniang said as she watched the spaceship fly towards the Flying Horse Sect. She couldn't help but ask Gao Xian, "A Xian, are you willing to go with me?"

Gao Xian continued to adjust the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, his gaze fixed on the black spaceship.

Upon hearing Qiniang's question, he didn't hesitate to say, "Of course, I'll follow you wherever you go. We are sworn brothers who trust each other with our lives!"

Qiniang was very happy with Gao Xian's response and didn't pay attention to his peculiar choice of words.

As long as Gao Xian was willing to follow her, it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of wherever they went!

"If things don't work out, we can go to Qingyun Road. It is said that there is a Nascent Soul True Immortal presiding over Qingyun Road, and it is very prosperous.

"I have established a connection with a steward of the Yunshui Tower when I purchased the Fuyun Flag this time. The Yunshui Tower is a subsidiary chamber of commerce under the Qingyun Sect. With this steward's recommendation, we can save a lot of trouble.

"With your talent, you will surely achieve something in a holy place like Qingyun Road..."

Qiniang had been preparing for a way out all along. In this situation at Feima Gathering, she and Gao Xian could only leave.

Suddenly, Gao Xian became excited and pointed ahead, interrupting Qiniang, "Qiniang, look, a master is coming!"

Qiniang didn't understand, so she followed Gao Xian's direction, but she couldn't see anything.

She was about to ask Gao Xian when a man's gloomy voice sounded in the starry sky.

"Youngsters from the Qisha Sect, dare you come to our sect and act recklessly? Is it because Muzhengfeng has given you the courage?!"

Qiniang didn't know who was speaking, but she knew that Muzhengfeng was the sect master of the Qisha Sect, a Gold Core cultivator.

This person boldly called out Muzhengfeng's name, a privilege that only the sect master Yun Taihao of the Lianyun Sect had.

Moreover, although the man's voice was not loud, it suppressed all other sounds and became the only echoing voice in the starry sky.

Such prestige could only be achieved by a Gold Core cultivator.

Qiniang was first shocked and then delighted. Since Yun Taihao had taken action, the invading Qisha Sect would surely be completely annihilated!

Feima Gathering would definitely be safe, and she and Gao Xian didn't need to take the risk of going to Qingyun City...

Gao Xian also guessed the man's identity, but what was different was that he could clearly see the man's appearance and attire.

The man had a white beard, a gloomy expression, and a pair of narrow and long eyes that flickered with unpredictable green light.

He wore a snow-white robe that shone like silver, soft and delicate like silk. A long sword with a green scabbard hung from his waist, with a simple and upright shape.

There was a faint layer of precious light enveloping him, highlighting his ethereal and extraordinary demeanor.

He stood in the air, controlling the wind naturally, exuding an aura of dominating everything.

"This is Yun Taihao? This is the majesty of a Gold Core cultivator?!"

Gao Xian could clearly see Yun Taihao through the Flower Mirror. In the mode of illuminating the darkness, he could see the immense and majestic magical power radiating from Yun Taihao.

The magical power emitted by Yun Taihao was silver with a hint of green, exceptionally bright and dazzling, like a blazing sun emitting endless flames of power, even illuminating the deep starry sky.

Compared to Yun Taihao, the magical light emitted by Qi Refining cultivators was as weak as fireflies.

The powerful magical light emitted by several Foundation Building cultivators was completely overshadowed by Yun Taihao.

Without even making a move, Yun Taihao had already completely suppressed the Qisha Sect with his formidable magical power.

Even the Qisha Sect's grand and mighty airship appeared tiny and insignificant in front of Yun Taihao, like an ant.

Such divine ability and power made Gao Xian feel envious.

Zhu Qiniang does not possess the Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, and her divine consciousness is far inferior to Gao Xian. She cannot even see where Yun Taihao is.

Not only Zhu Qiniang, but the Qi Refining cultivators of the Feima Sect cannot see Yun Taihao either.

Only a few Foundation Building cultivators can sense the majestic and powerful aura emanating from Yun Taihao.

Among them, the most desperate is Guan Wen'an, who is at the ninth level of Foundation Building and is only one step away from the Gold Core stage.

In terms of status within the Qisha Sect, he can easily rank in the top ten.

In order to invade the Feima Sect, the Qisha Sect made preparations months in advance, arranging for members of the Chishe Gang to enter the Feima Sect ahead of time, and even sending several outstanding disciples from their own sect.

As the person in charge of this operation, Guan Wen'an deliberately stayed a hundred miles away to wait for news, fearing that there might be an ambush by the Yun Sect.

Mu Yunxiu, Bai Mingfeng, Zheng Yong, and Yuan Peng, the four Foundation Building cultivators, joined forces to enter the Feima Sect and sweep through it.

As a result, they encountered no significant resistance.

The manpower of the Yun Sect in the Feima Sect was destroyed in a very short period of time. Even the central area's shops were completely looted.

At this point, the Feima Sect has been completely occupied by the Qisha Sect.

Upon receiving the news, Guan Wen'an finally appeared with the airship. With this Qisha Sect's ironwood flying ship, the restless rogue cultivators would calm down.

Then, the Qisha Sect would easily control the rogue cultivators and take over the Feima Sect.

When the Yun Sect reacts, the Qisha Sect's strong cultivators will naturally go over to negotiate terms.

Guan Wen'an thought that the situation was already settled, but he did not expect that as soon as he arrived at the Feima Sect, Yun Taihao would appear in front of the airship, clearly waiting for him.

Because of this, Yun Taihao watched without any reaction as all the members of the Yun Sect were killed.

Such a ruthless and cruel temperament!

What surprised Guan Wen'an even more was that Yun Taihao, as the head of the Yun Sect and a Gold Core cultivator, personally took action for such a small matter as the Feima Sect.

Among the dozens of districts and gatherings managed by the Yun Sect, the Feima Sect is considered the most peripheral and the smallest.

For the entire Yun Sect, the Feima Sect, which has only been established for a little over ten years, is truly insignificant.

It was only the discovery of an ancient sect's ruins on the Bixia Peak that made the Feima Sect lively in the past two years.

Yun Taihao's actions for the Feima Sect were very, very unreasonable.

It's like when a beacon tower on the border of a country is occupied, the emperor personally leads the troops to recapture the beacon tower.

Guan Wen'an couldn't understand Yun Taihao's actions, but Yun Taihao was right in front of him, and whether he understood or not was no longer important.

Guan Wen'an became anxious and shouted, "Quickly activate the Qisha Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag!"

The ironwood airship was built with thousand-year ironwood, and its sails were made from the skin of the flying leonine beast, adorned with millions of runes, capable of harnessing the power of gathering spirits.

The airship was also equipped with the powerful Qisha Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag and the Heaven Annihilating Cannon, two formidable treasures.

In terms of grade, this ironwood airship can be considered a high-grade third-grade treasure, extremely precious.

The Qisha Sect only has three ironwood airships.

If they were to activate the two powerful treasures on the airship, with their two hundred Qi Refining cultivators, they would be able to contend with a Gold Core cultivator.

Both powerful artifacts are extremely mana-consuming and require a large number of people to maintain their operation.

When Guan Wen'an entered, he thought the situation was already settled. Although the Seven Killings and Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag had been activated, it was only maintaining the basic operation of mana and had not truly been unleashed.

In a critical moment, it was not easy to fully activate the Seven Killings and Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag.

On the sail of the ship swaying in the gusty wind, there were flickering sparks of light, which scattered in all directions and turned into illusory black shadows like smoke.

In the blink of an eye, the ironwood flying ship was filled with eerie winds and a chilling ghostly aura.

Countless scattered black shadows connected in the air, forming a huge black net that completely covered the ironwood flying ship.

Yun Taihao coldly sneered without making a sound. He had already revealed himself and would not give the other party a chance to calmly set up and activate the artifacts.

He drew out the Qingyun Thunderbolt Sword and activated his mana, immediately merging with the sword to become a green thunderbolt that pierced directly into the ironwood flying ship.

The black figures that formed the large net were silently shattered as soon as they came into contact with the thunderbolt.

Guan Wen'an, who was in the lead, raised his sword in astonishment and slashed with all his might. The green thunderbolt suddenly surged, and the intense green light instantly engulfed Guan Wen'an and the ironwood flying ship.

The fierce and violent green thunderbolt seemed to tear the starry sky in half.

The tremendous roar emitted by the thunderbolt forcefully penetrated into everyone's ears, as if it was going to explode their heads.

Many Qi Refining cultivators with shallow cultivation levels were shaking and falling to the ground, unable to even crawl back up.

Such awe-inspiring power shocked everyone who saw it, leaving them stunned and unable to react.

Even the Foundation Building cultivators of the Seven Killings Sect couldn't help but be intimidated by the power of this strike, and they scattered and fled in panic.

Only Gao Xian remained calm and used the Flower Mirror to clearly see the terrifying destruction caused by this strike, which made him realize how terrible it was.

Hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators from the Seven Killings Sect, including a Foundation Building cultivator in the later stage, were instantly shattered by the fierce and sharp thunderbolt, and then carbonized into ashes in the terrifying high temperature of the thunderbolt.

The ironwood flying ship suffered heavy damage in the thunderbolt, with its sails destroyed, deck shattered, and cabin on fire.

Gao Xian felt his scalp tingling as he watched. The power of a Gold Core cultivator far exceeded his imagination.

What Foundation Building cultivator? They were truly no match for a Gold Core cultivator.

However, with Yun Taihao's bravery and strength, it seemed that the crisis was over for the Feima Sect.

Gao Xian, excited once again, said to Zhu Qiuniang, "We don't need to evacuate anymore!"

There was still a hint of green light lingering in Zhu Qiuniang's eyes, and her expression was somewhat dazed. Yun Taihao's unparalleled strike had truly frightened her soul.

Upon hearing Gao Xian's words, Zhu Qiuniang slowly turned her head to look at him, her face filled with confusion.

This was the first time Gao Xian had seen Zhu Qiuniang in such a state, and he lightly patted her face with a smile. "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now!"

Only now did Zhu Qiuniang regain her senses. She felt ashamed of her cowardly and timid behavior just now, and she felt a little embarrassed to look at Gao Xian.

But she keenly noticed that Gao Xian's hand, which she was holding, was damp. She didn't say anything, but used her sleeve to wipe the sweat off Gao Xian's hand.

Gao Xian forced a dry laugh. "Why does it feel so hot on such a late night..."

I won't divide this chapter into three parts anymore, but I still ask for monthly votes and support~ I will try to update more tomorrow.
