Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#495 - Chapter 494: Change of Tactics
A month later, five million miles southwest of Tianque Mountain, at the foot of Jishi Mountain.
Tong Tianfu hurried to the location. He had been worried that the Hou Tu Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator would decisively retreat, so he had traveled here non-stop, only resting for a day in the middle.
However, to his surprise, the Jishi Mountain's grand formation was still intact, and the mountain was peaceful, with no signs of a hasty retreat.
Since Zhang Yuanjing returned to the sect more than ten years ago and mentioned Hou Tu Sect's ulterior motives, Liu Yuanqing had been sending disciples to monitor Jishi Mountain. Later, he even increased the number of Core Formation cultivators, but after the Heavenly Demon Abyss's Nascent Soul cultivator launched a strong attack on the mountain gate, the forces stationed here were greatly reduced.
Tong Tianfu knew that most of these low-level disciples would hardly notice anything, so he did not seek them out for inquiries. He only surveyed the periphery of Jishi Mountain, assessing the possibility of breaking the formation.
Unlike ordinary medium-sized sects, Hou Tu Sect, after all, used to have Nascent Soul cultivators, and its heritage was quite profound, so the mountain protection formation was very powerful. Tong Tianfu watched for two days and had some calculations in his mind.
He was quite accomplished in the art of formations. After only two days of observation, he had already found some exploitable flaws in the mountains and geography. Just as he was about to spend more time looking closely, he suddenly felt something unusual in a mountain forest a hundred miles behind him.
He became vigilant, communicated with the Heavenly Thunder Halberd in his Sumeru Ring, and quickly rushed towards that place.
As soon as he moved, he saw a cultivator soar into the sky from the forest, transmitting his voice to him: "Greetings, True Man Tong! I am Lu Dingyi from the Heavenly Demon Abyss!"
Tong Tianfu turned a deaf ear and reached out, already holding the Heavenly Thunder Halberd in his hand.
Lu Dingyi, who was far away in the sky, spoke again: "True Man Tong, please allow Lu to say a few words. If you get any closer, Lu can only flee far away to avoid you!"
Tong Tianfu sighed softly, stopped his flight, and asked via voice transmission, "True Man Lu has been here for some time, hasn't he? Did you come with that True Man from the Hou Tu Sect?"
Lu Dingyi stepped on a cyan flying sword, his aura condensed at the bottom of his feet, ready to escape at any time.
He replied, "True Man Tong is right. After failing to capture Elder Zhang Yuanjing of your sect with True Man Wen Zaidao of the Hou Tu Sect, Lu came to this place. Hehe, it can be considered timely. I persuaded True Man Wen not to retreat, and I also waited for True Man Tong to investigate. It was not a waste of these days."
A look of disappointment flashed in Tong Tianfu's eyes. He already understood the Heavenly Demon Abyss's plan, but he still asked, "Why did True Man Lu persuade Wen Zaidao to stay? This place is right under the eyes of my Xuantian Sect. Does your sect want to protect the Hou Tu Sect?"
Lu Dingyi chuckled, "Under the eyes? It may have been so before, but now it is not necessarily the case! Speaking of distance, Huan Yue Mountain is closer to this place than Tianque Mountain! Moreover, Lu plans to stay here permanently to assist True Man Wen in guarding the sect. I wonder if True Man Tong still wants to attack Jishi Mountain?"
Tong Tianfu had surveyed the geography of Jishi Mountain and already had some confidence in breaking the formation, but if the Heavenly Demon Abyss intervened, it would be impossible unless a large number of high-level thunder talismans were used for a concentrated attack. But how many thunder talismans could the Xuantian Sect still afford to consume at this time?
His expression remained unchanged, and he said via voice transmission: "If we can restrain True Man Lu here, it would be a great gain even if we don't break the formation!"
Lu Dingyi sneered and said, "True Man Tong, why speak in riddles! I suppose the news from Hengduan Mountain has already arrived, right? That's right, that was indeed our doing in the dark. Your sect may have won a battle in Cu Mountain, but the situation has not eased, and it will become even more dangerous. This is not something that can be changed by the death or injury of one or two True Men. You must know that the Heavenly Demon Abyss's determination to achieve its goals is unchangeable, and the power invested to achieve its goals is far beyond your imagination!"
Tong Tianfu said coldly, "The Xuantian Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has never been intimidated by anyone. Use whatever means you have!"
Lu Dingyi cupped his hands and said, "True Man Tong, your sect has maintained its position as one of the top ten sects in the Southern Region for the past one or two thousand years with difficulty. Why bother to hold on so stubbornly! Three years ago, True Man Chu of my sect mentioned in his letter that True Man Tong might as well consider it carefully! Farewell!"
A clear light flashed in the sky, and Lu Dingyi quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.
Tong Tianfu did not chase after him, knowing that this person would not go far and must be watching somewhere nearby. As long as the Xuantian Sect showed any signs of attacking Jishi Mountain, this person would definitely emerge to restrain them from the side.
He stood still for a long time, knowing that things could not be done, and sighed before turning around and returning to Tianque Mountain.
Upon arriving at the right hall of the Jieyuan Hall, before even taking a seat, he took out a sound transmission jade slip, played with it in his hand for a few breaths, and finally made up his mind, transmitting a sentence into it.
Half a day later, a middle-aged woman descended in front of the hall on a sword, it was the Tian-generation cultivator, Shu Tianqi.
She walked into the hall and saw Tong Yuanfu sitting on a recliner on the side, lost in thought with his eyes closed, so she gently opened her red lips and said softly, "Senior Brother Tong, I'm here."
Tong Tianfu opened his eyes, nodded with a smile, "Please sit down, Junior Sister. How have you been recently?"
Shu Tianqi sat opposite him and said in a light tone, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I have been doing well. Especially in the Tomb of the King Xue, I obtained some opportunities. I think that in a few years, I will be able to break through to the late stage."
She paused slightly and continued, "I see that Senior Brother looks tired. It must be due to overwork recently. You should pay attention to this."
Tong Tianfu smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Sister is right, but the sect is precarious, and the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. I am also helpless."
Shu Tianqi raised her eyebrows, and said with a slightly excited tone, "It's not that there is no way to break the situation, why doesn't Senior Brother use it?"
Tong Tianfu sighed and said, "How can it be so simple! Do we hand over Yuanjing, and the Heavenly Demon Abyss will really give up and leave? So many Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators below Lingxiao have fallen, so we don't care? Impossible! No matter who is in charge of the sect behind the Heavenly Demon Abyss, it is impossible to ignore this matter."
Shu Tianqi did not agree with this statement and immediately retorted, "Those people in Lingxiao did not die at the hands of my Xuantian Sect, but were caused by entering the Void Demon World. What does it have to do with my Xuantian Sect! If they want to know the situation in the mustard seed space, attacking my sect is just a guise, just to catch Zhang Yuanjing!"
Tong Tianfu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. The reason I invited you here today is, is to ask you and Yuanxiao to go to the Eastern Region!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Tianqi's face turned pale, and after a long time, she asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"
A look of guilt flashed in Tong Tianfu's eyes, but the words in his mouth were firm and unquestionable: "During these days, I have repeatedly thought that if we continue to be trapped in the current situation, the Xuantian Sect will hardly escape this calamity! Therefore, we can only seek help from Junior Sister, from the super sect behind Junior Sister that shakes the world!"
Seeing Shu Tianqi's distraught appearance, he felt a little unbearable, but he knew that if this matter was not firm, it might be a failure.
So he continued: "Since True Man Pan Xuanli has sheltered Junior Sister's family, it has been more than three hundred years. Although it has not caused any disaster, in the beginning, True Man Pan took you in at great risk. Now, times have changed, and the original matter has been settled. If Junior Sister is willing to go back, they will definitely be eager to do so.
"I know that Junior Sister still has some knots in her heart and is unwilling to set foot in that place of contention. However, the Xuantian Sect is in trouble and cannot save itself. We have no choice but to ask Junior Sister to return to the sect for help. Please also help the Xuantian Sect for the sake of True Man Pan!"
