Chapter 129 Are you so happy that your ally is dead?
"Kill!!!" Accompanied by deafening battle cries, disciples from the two sects surged towards each other like a tidal wave, instantly clashing in close combat. In a flash, the light of blades flashed and the stench of blood filled the air. Many cultivators screamed and fell to the ground in the fierce battle, their bodies lying there.
However, at this moment, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Qingyun Sect did not rush to attack. They calmly observed the battle, seemingly waiting for something. It turned out that these experts were well-versed in battle strategy; they needed to first assess their opponent's strength and tactical deployment.
They were especially wary of Bai Xiaotian, the Grand Elder of the White Tiger Sect, a legendary powerhouse.
The clashes between the other Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators present were relatively easy. The Qingyun Sect cultivators, with their numerical advantage, easily defeated their opponents.
This filled them with a sense of pride, but at the same time, it aroused their curiosity about the true strength of the White Tiger Sect.
"Brother Han, are the disciples of your White Tiger Sect really that weak?" Jiang Dongxu mocked as he watched the White Tiger Sect disciples being repeatedly defeated, while simultaneously engaging Han Chuanming in battle.
"Hmph, the real show is yet to come!" A sly glint flashed in Han Chuanming's eyes as he wielded his longsword with even greater ferocity, its blade clashing with Jiang Dongxu's sharp attacks, producing crisp, resonant sounds. He sneered inwardly, calculating what kind of surprise he would give his opponent next.
Jiang Dongxu smiled, seemingly having anticipated Han Chuanming's words. He easily dodged Han Chuanming's sword strikes while simultaneously launching an even more ferocious attack. "Indeed, there's more to come!" Jiang Dongxu murmured, a smug look creeping onto his face as he envisioned his meticulously planned follow-up.
The two were locked in fierce combat on the battlefield when a voice came from the direction of the White Tiger Sect not far away: "Sect Master Han, something terrible has happened! Zhao Dahai has destroyed the core of the sect's defensive array! I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer!"
"This traitor!" Han Chuanming shouted angrily.
The words had barely left his lips when the already dim and crumbling formation suddenly emitted a crisp cracking sound. This powerful defensive formation—the Nine Revolutions Star Formation—which the White Tiger Sect had always held in high regard and considered their last line of defense, had completely collapsed and disintegrated in an instant!
Jiang Dongxu watched this scene unfold with a smug smile. He sneered at Han Chuanming, "Brother Han, how does it feel to be stabbed in the back by your own people? How does it feel? Hahahaha..."
Han Chuanming trembled with rage. He glared at Jiang Dongxu and roared angrily, "So that bastard Zhao Dahai had been secretly colluding with your Qingyun Sect all along! He betrayed our Baihu Sect; he's a complete shameless scoundrel!"
Jiang Dongxu replied without any attempt to hide his feelings, "Hmph, if I hadn't sacrificed my precious daughter's lifelong happiness to win over the Zhao family, how could I have broken your Nine Revolutions Star Formation so easily? But now it seems it was all worth it!" After saying that, he laughed loudly again.
Han Chuanming felt even more resentful after hearing Jiang Dongxu's words. The Zhao family, despite being part of the White Tiger Sect and possessing considerable cultivation resources, still couldn't satisfy their insatiable desires.
Although the formation had been completely destroyed by the Qingyun Sect, Han Chuanming immediately issued an order to all the disciples of the White Tiger Sect: fight and retreat to White Tiger Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the fierce battle between the two sides moved to the White Tiger Mountain—this place was now the territory of the White Tiger Sect.
"Brother Han, what's the point of fleeing like this? Your sect's protective formation has already collapsed. Even if you escape back to the sect, it will be of no use!" Jiang Dongxu said sarcastically.
His smug and disdainful attitude was palpable, as if victory was assured.
"If you're so capable, then don't chase after me!" Han Chuanming retorted sarcastically.
"Hahaha, your provocation is useless now! Today, the White Tiger Sect is doomed to destruction by our Azure Cloud Sect. Even the gods can't save you!" Jiang Dongxu laughed loudly, though a slight unease crept into his heart, which he quickly dismissed.
The White Tiger Sect's greatest asset, the mountain-protecting formation, has been broken. The only remaining threat is the sect's Grand Elder. However, the Azure Cloud Sect has already prepared to return the favor with its Nascent Soul stage cultivators and has even invited reinforcements.
Now everything should be foolproof; the White Tiger Sect will definitely be removed from the Great Jin cultivation world today.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dongxu intensified his attack, wanting to finish off Han Chuanming as soon as possible.
"Why hasn't your Grand Elder come out yet? Is he already dead?" Jiang Dongxu continued to mock.
"Brother Jiang? You really want to see our Grand Elder? Then I'll grant your wish!" Han Chuanming said with a smile.
"Where is the Grand Elder?" Han Chuanming's voice boomed like a bell, echoing through the sky as he shouted into the distant void. His voice reverberated through the mountains, lingering for a long time.
In an instant, a deep and powerful voice responded, "I am here!" Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the void.
The man was dressed in a long white robe, his hair as white as snow, his face kind yet exuding an air of majesty. He was none other than Bai Xiaotian, the only Nascent Soul cultivator of the White Tiger Sect!
When Bai Xiaotian appeared before everyone, the entire scene became solemn. Lu Qingteng and Shi Dingtian, Nascent Soul cultivators from the Qingyun Sect, were slightly startled by his sudden appearance, but then their expressions of joy quickly returned.
They knew that now that the only Nascent Soul cultivator of the White Tiger Sect had arrived, the key figure in today's fierce battle was in place, and the dawn of victory was not far away.
"Elder, you're a little late!" Han Chuanming said with a hint of complaint as he looked at the smiling elder.
"We just dealt with the traitor Zhao Dahai and his family! It took a little time," Bai Xiaotian said casually.
"It's good that we've dealt with those traitors from the Zhao family!" Han Chuanming said calmly.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Dongxu and the others' faces instantly turned extremely grim, and a wave of shock washed over them. They never imagined that Zhao Dahai and the rest of the Zhao clan would all meet with such misfortune.
However, after some thought, Jiang Dongxu and the others realized that these members of the Zhao family might have already completed the task they were entrusted with, and even if they died, it would be a kind of relief.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Dongxu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He said sarcastically, "Hmph, a traitor like Zhao Dahai, who betrays his sect and is disloyal, deserves to die!"
"Brother Jiang, what's going on? You're so happy that your ally is dead?" Han Chuanming mocked.
"He was just a pawn of our Qingyun Sect. It's better that he died now that the mission is complete. Otherwise, if he had joined our Qingyun Sect, he might have betrayed us later!" Jiang Dongxu said nonchalantly.
"A chess piece?" Han Chuanming muttered helplessly.
