Xiao Fei revealed the news that the evil cultivators were about to attack the Danxin Sect, and everyone in the main hall fell silent.
"Master, how many people does the Danxin Sect currently have?"
"Alas! All the sect's combat-ready disciples have gone to the front lines. Most of those left behind are cultivators like us who are not good at fighting."
Guangling Zhenren sighed.
"Including myself, the sect has two Golden Core cultivators left. The other Golden Core elder is an artifact refiner, also not good at fighting.
There are also 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators, most of whom have little combat power."
The Danxin Sect had only two Golden Core cultivators and 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators with weak combat power.
On the side of the evil cultivators, Xiao Fei knew that at least the previous sect leader would come, and Xie Gu Zhenren would also come. Additionally, there should be other Golden Core evil cultivators, plus 150 Foundation Establishment evil cultivators. The difference in strength between the two sides was vast.
It was too late to seek help from other sects now, and each sect had very few people left behind. In their own precarious situation, they might not extend a helping hand.
"Master, won't the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor make a move?"
Xiao Fei asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.
"Alas! It's not that the Nascent Soul ancestor is unwilling to act, but they are willing but unable..."
It turned out that the Nascent Soul powerhouses of both sides had fought several battles before, but the Eagle Mountain Kingdom had more Nascent Soul cultivators, higher overall realms, and stronger overall strength.
Currently, the Four Great Sects each had two Nascent Soul ancestors, all at the early Nascent Soul stage.
The Lu Kingdom had a total of eight early Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, the three great sects of the Lu Kingdom each had three Nascent Soul cultivators, plus one rogue Nascent Soul cultivator, making a total of ten.
The Eagle Mountain Kingdom had two more, and what was more infuriating was that among these ten people, two were at the middle Nascent Soul stage, far stronger than early stage cultivators.
After several confrontations, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu Kingdom had not gained any advantage, and one Nascent Soul ancestor had been severely injured by the opponent.
Now, the ancestors of each sect could only keep their heads down. As long as the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivators did not make a move, they would not actively attack.
If the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivators made a move, they could only fight desperately.
Due to their inferior strength, the initiative was entirely in the hands of the evil cultivators.
Although the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu Kingdom were resentful and depressed, they were powerless.
In the cultivation world, backwardness leads to being beaten, and being beaten leads to further backwardness, and then being beaten again...
Therefore, as long as the sect's foundation was not completely destroyed by the evil cultivators, the Nascent Soul ancestors would not show themselves.
At least, as long as the Nascent Soul ancestors were alive, the sect could still be rebuilt.
Guangling Zhenren sent a communication talisman, transmitting the message to another Golden Core elder.
Soon, the sect's remaining combat strength gathered at the peak of Ningcui Peak.
The two Golden Core cultivators looked at the 50 panicked Foundation Establishment cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators who were still in the dark.
At this moment, the sect's protective mountain formation had already been activated.
The sect had a protective mountain formation, and each activation consumed a massive amount of spirit stone resources. It would not be activated unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, this formation could only protect the several peaks surrounding Ningcui Peak.
Outside the formation were numerous peaks, with many cultivators' cave dwellings and spirit fields, growing various spiritual plants and resources. These outer assets could not be protected.
Now, they could only concentrate their efforts to protect the sect's core assets.
"Everyone, in at most one day, the evil cultivators will come to attack the Danxin Sect..."
Guangling Zhenren stood above the square, informing all the disciples of the severity of the situation and arranging for them to hold their ground behind the Great Chen formation.
The protective mountain formation had a total of 108 formation eyes. Each formation eye was connected to the main formation but was also self-contained.
The enemy had to break all 108 formation eyes one by one to completely break the formation.
After Guangling Zhenren made these arrangements, he pulled Xiao Fei aside while the evil cultivators had not yet arrived.
"Come with me to see the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor. Perhaps we can gain a great opportunity."
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up. A Nascent Soul ancestor! He had never seen such a being before, and he felt a little excited.
However, he immediately thought that Nascent Soul powerhouses had vast divine abilities. Would they be able to see through his secret and discover the existence of the spatial realm? This made him a little nervous.
However, at this moment, Guangling Zhenren had already pulled him along and flew towards a towering peak next to Ningcui Peak.
Amidst a sea of clouds, the two arrived before the gate of a palace.
Guangling Zhenren spoke a few words to the gatekeeper and then waited respectfully outside the door.
After a moment, the gatekeeper came out again and allowed them to enter.
Xiao Fei followed Guangling Zhenren and cautiously entered the palace.
The spiritual energy in the palace was extremely dense. This feeling was like sitting on a pile of spirit stones.
Guangling Zhenren quietly said to Xiao Fei, "If one could cultivate in such a place with extremely dense spiritual energy, the cultivation speed could be increased by more than 10%."
Xiao Fei carefully sensed the spiritual energy in the palace. It was indeed very dense, rarely seen in the world.
However, this concentration was still slightly inferior to that in his spatial realm.
The iron fire ants and flying fish that Xiao Fei was currently raising enjoyed spiritual energy that was even denser than this.
Guided by the gatekeeper, the two walked into a grand hall.
At the head of the hall, a woman of elegant and noble bearing sat in the upper seat.
Xiao Fei dared not look too much, only glancing quickly before lowering his head.
However, in that hurried glance, he seemed to see an acquaintance.
This person had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and red lips and white teeth, and was standing beside the elegant woman.
If it wasn't Zhu Yu, who else could it be!
After not seeing him for decades, Zhu Yu had actually managed to latch onto a Nascent Soul ancestor.
This leg was fragrant, white, and tender, and it was strong and thick enough for Zhu Yu to live a life of luxury for the rest of his days.
Xiao Fei felt so sour in his heart. He had been refined into a zombie, escaped to the Eagle Mountain Kingdom, associated with a bunch of scum all day, and was trapped in a canyon for ten years.
The other person had latched onto a fragrant leg and didn't need to do anything, just lick it at the appropriate time, and it was enough for him to work for decades.
Xiao Fei could only sigh in his heart that even Nascent Soul powerhouses had poor eyesight.
Just as Xiao Fei was lowering his head and lost in thought, Guangling Zhenren had finished reporting the matter to the Nascent Soul ancestor and attributed all the credit to Xiao Fei.
He did this naturally hoping that the ancestor would look favorably upon Xiao Fei, and perhaps, like Zhu Yu, he could also latch onto a Nascent Soul ancestor's leg from then on.
