Chapter 311.1
“Brothers” Go Separate Ways (1)
The news that Feng Shao and the others fought and massacred people in Ziqing Mountain spread like wildfire. Even though the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect had tried their best to cover up the news, the major sects and forces in Beizhou knew about it within a short period of time.
That night, the disciples of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect attacked Feng Shao and the others, but they failed to cause any damage to the opponents and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they were forced to retreat.
What’s more, during their retreat, they were pursued back by Feng Shao and the others.
Their group was defeated like striking a mountain with a bare fist, and the powerful firepower from Feng Shao and the others made them have no desire to resist. All kinds of dead bodies were left lying along the mountain road.
After chasing all the way to the foot of Ziqing Mountain, Feng Shao called for a retreat, and he led the crowd back slowly.
After that night, Yang Hao, Gong Shenglong, and Chu Qing counted the casualties separately, and the numbers were shocking.
The number of deaths totaled more than four hundred and fifty people (although the Tiangang Sword Sect has guessed the number of casualties as much as possible, it is still far from the real number).
Among the dead was Old Xie in the Taiqing realm, the one with the highest realm and the one who was Chu Qing’s greatest reliance when it comes to force.
There are three people in the Indistinguishable Dao realm who died, nineteen in the Divine Transformation Realm, and seventy-seven in the Gold Core realm. The rest of the dead are in the Innate realm and below.Nearly two thousand people were injured, and more than one-third of them lost combat effectiveness for at least three years.
Of the remaining two-thirds, more than half had already lost their courage, and their dao hearts were completely destroyed.
Don’t even talk about going to war, there’s a great chance that their path to cultivation will come to an end here.
Among the three groups of Ziqing Sacred Land, Chongyang Sword Sect, and Xuanlei Sect, it was Ziqing Sacred Land’s group of rebellious disciples who suffered the most serious casualties.
The Ziqing Sacred Land’s misfortune was not only because of the traitor Chu Qing, but also because of nearly a thousand disciples who chose to rebel.
These rebel disciples were all loyalists of the former Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder.
After the three elders fell one after another, in order to stabilize the situation in the Sacred Land, Tang Fei did not liquidate these people but drove them away from the center of power.
These people were gradually attracted by the Fifth Elder, and later, they became Chu Qing’s subordinates. Chu Qing’s capability to control the Ziqing Sacred Land was thanks to the support of these people.
But now, more than half of these people were killed or injured, and those who were not wounded were trembling like frightened quails. Chu Qing’s direct subordinates were almost wiped out, which made Chu Qing angry, but also secretly frightened.
As for the forces of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect, although they also lost a lot, due to their family’s great fortune, this loss of manpower is not even a serious injury to them. But Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong were still furious… because they had never suffered such a big loss!
Their enemies are only a little more than twenty people! More than twenty people! With just such a few people, they actually killed so many cultivators they worked so hard to cultivate!
For three days, the Ziqing Sacred Land was filled with the sound of wailing and groaning continuously.
The terrified cultivators didn’t even dare to sleep, for fear that Feng Shao and the others would suddenly come in in the middle of the night and take their lives.
Although they have long been aware of the possibility of death due to their choices and actions, they really don’t want to die in such a vague way!
Disciples from the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect applied to Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong respectively to return to their own mountain but were decisively rejected by them.
Although Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong have told everyone that the weapons Feng Shao and the others are using are just a kind of hidden weapon that can be fired in rapid succession, the others still have a look of disbelief, insisting that the other party is using some kind of sorcery that kills people without even leaving a shadow.
Over the past few days, Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong discovered that repairing the wounds and healing the injured may be easy, but the real difficulty is how to restore the confidence of these disciples.
On this day, Yang Hao, Gong Shenglong, and Chu Qing all had gloomy faces. They were in the Great Hall, sitting on chairs for a meeting, yet not saying a word.
After some time, Gong Shenglong took the lead and opened his mouth, “No matter where the enemy came from, judging from the current situation, the people on our side have lost their fighting spirit. Even if they continue to stay on Ziqing Mountain, they can’t fight. It doesn’t make sense.”
Yang Hao also said bitterly, “It’s the same on my side. Everyone is scared out of their wits, it’s embarrassing for our Chongyang Sword Sect!”
