Serpent Ancestor

The massive formation took shape, forming a shell that enveloped the Mountain Movers Sect.

All the black-clothed individuals removed their masks, revealing their true faces, and swiftly moved to the entrance of the Mountain Movers Sect.

At this moment, the disciple guarding the mountain was muttering to himself.

"Strange! I've already reported to the sect leader, so why hasn't Xiao Chou been expelled?"

"Something's not right!"

The disciple was pondering.

Suddenly, countless dark shadows flew across the sky like meteors, unstoppable.

The disciple's face changed drastically. He quickly took out a jade slip, but before he could crush it, a silver-haired girl raised her hand and grasped.

The disciple was flung away, caught by an immense force.

The disciple's eyes were blank as he stammered, "Fang Yu."

"Boom!"

As soon as he spoke his name, his body exploded into a mist of blood.

A burly man with a bushy beard nearby laughed, "Little Silver, asking for names before killing, that's a bad habit."

This burly man was the one from the tavern.

"He guarded the mountain for twenty years; he deserves a name."

As the silver-haired girl spoke, a giant like an iron tower stomped the ground and charged like a meteor, crashing into the light barrier.

His entire body was covered in runes that spread out and merged into the barrier. The Mountain Protection Array instantly became as fragile as paper, with a large gap smashed open.

"Boom!!"

The entire Mountain Movers Sect shook.

All the sect's disciples were alarmed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The elders of the Mountain Movers Sect all emerged from their secluded cultivation, riding flying swords, and hovered in mid-air, their expressions changing drastically as they looked at the crowd of black-clothed individuals ahead. RАɴΟꞖÊṩ

"That man is... Shen Daozi, Xu Qingfeng, a wanted criminal with a bounty of 150,000 spirit stones!"

Everyone stared at the burly man with expressions as if they'd seen a ghost.

"That's the Silver-haired Witch, with a bounty of 80,000!"

"And there's the Demon Monk Ku Xuan, the Demon Man Zhang Tie, the Little Overlord Xiang Fei, all notorious rebels!"

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in turmoil.

After the Chu Kingdom's defeat and the Astrology Bureau's destruction, some Chu Kingdom cultivators couldn't withstand the Qin army, so they formed bandit groups, causing chaos everywhere.

They specifically targeted the Qin army and its allies, robbing and killing to seize treasures, earning themselves a fearsome reputation, each with a bounty of over ten thousand spirit stones.

These rebels and bandits were either survivors of the Astrology Bureau, elites among the Chu army, or like-minded individuals.

With the Chu Kingdom fallen, some harbored hopes of restoring the kingdom.

Some were simply bandits by nature.

In any case, for various reasons, they came together, forming a sizable group and becoming nationally wanted criminals.

Yet today, these rats who had been hiding everywhere dared to invade the Mountain Movers Sect, attacking a major sect for the first time in history!

The burly man Xu Qingfeng stepped forward and shouted, "Mountain Movers Sect, colluding with foreign enemies, plotting rebellion, unforgivable crimes! Today, I, Xu Qingfeng of the Astrology Bureau, will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate these lackeys!"

Xu Qingfeng's voice, filled with boundless righteousness, echoed throughout the mountain gate.

In an instant, the word "guilty" appeared above everyone's heads in the Mountain Movers Sect!

This was the mark of a criminal. Xu Qingfeng, as the Astrology Bureau's law enforcement elder, was skilled in the art of words, capable of killing with words alone!

At this moment, many disciples felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and self-reproach, even harboring suicidal thoughts.

"Hmph! A bunch of bandit scoundrels, claiming to act on behalf of heaven? Ridiculous!"

An elderly man with white hair stepped out from the deep mountains, covering a thousand feet in a single step, surrounded by surging heat waves, his entire being like a furnace.

The Mountain Movers Sect's ancestor, the fifth-generation sect leader, Shi Xuan.

He was also the only Core Formation cultivator in the sect.

With a wave of Shi Xuan's hand, the "guilty" words immediately dissipated.

At this moment, the current sect leader Shi Lin, core elders Shi Longzi, Shi Fengzi, and others appeared one after another, staring at the intruders with extremely grave expressions.

"The sect is sealed; we can't call for help or retreat. We can only fight," Shi Lin said solemnly.

Everyone's expressions changed.

The enemy had set up such a grand scheme; today, it was destined to be a battle to the death!

"Then let's fight! Just these bandits think they can destroy our Mountain Movers Sect? What a joke!"

Shi Xuan took the initiative to move forward, his withered body rapidly expanding, flesh growing, bones crackling, his hunched body straightening and rising, white hair turning black, his emaciated form regaining its luster.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from an old man into a robust middle-aged man.

Xu Qingfeng scanned the crowd and coldly shouted, "Thinking of escaping before the battle, seeking help? Truly a bunch of cowards. You knelt before the Qin army back then, and today, you can kneel before us!"

As he finished speaking, the word "kneel" appeared above everyone's heads.

At this moment, everyone in the Mountain Movers Sect felt their bones soften, involuntarily wanting to surrender, to kneel and beg for mercy.

"Silence!!"

Shi Xuan went completely berserk, roaring in anger, his voice spreading out, shattering all the "kneel" words.

He clearly understood Xu Qingfeng's verbal attacks, extremely insidious, capable of damaging one's Dao heart. The best way to counter it was to silence him through force.

Shi Xuan's body expanded, rapidly growing into a stone giant, charging at Xu Qingfeng with earth-shaking momentum, waves of energy surging.

"Everyone, attack!"

Zhang Tie, who had broken through the formation, shouted, his arm swelling, sweeping out like a giant, the fierce energy instantly hitting two elders, their bodies exploding into pulp.

The others also charged into the sect, unleashing their magical treasures and skills, attacking the Mountain Movers Sect members.

"Fight! Defend the sect!"

"Kill these rebels!"

The elders and disciples of the Mountain Movers Sect also rushed out, clashing with the invaders.

Sect leader Shi Lin sat in the square, activating the sect's protective array.

A phantom stone figure emerged from the ground, the third-tier array spirit, the Stone Daoist, guarding the sect for generations.

Without a word, Zhang Tie's body swelled to match the Stone Daoist's size, punching out like a warrior, causing a massive wave of energy. The Stone Daoist also punched, the two engaging in pure physical combat, creating earth-shattering booms!

"Sin, sin! Namo Amitabha..."

The demon monk Ku Xuan closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged, holding a string of Buddhist beads, chanting the Rebirth Mantra, transcending the souls of the dead, and also the living.

"What's your name? Yan Lei? Die!"

The silver-haired girl, calm as water, asked each person's name before instantly erasing them.

"All troops, form up, charge!"

Xiang Fei led a five-man team, charging into the enemy ranks. This team, all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, wielded shields and spears, forming a battle formation, flawless in both offense and defense.

There was also a young man with purple hair, not fighting but specializing in stealing storage bags and magical treasures. Many elders' treasures were snatched away before they could even use them.

This group, composed of the Astrology Bureau, orthodox army, evil cultivators, witches, and bandits, stormed a major sect, like a spark igniting the first flame!

…………

Inside the Mountain Movers Sect, in the artifact refining room.

Outside, the battle raged, but inside the refining room, it was quiet. The formation here isolated all disturbances.

Xu Hei looked at the jade disk, seeing four large red dots, his heart heavy.

"Four Core Formation Stage..."

Xu Hei had severely underestimated the danger of this mission.

However, he had plenty of Small Teleportation Talismans. If push came to shove, he could ensure his survival.

Moreover, these four Core Formation Stage individuals weren't all from the same faction.

Xu Hei noticed that three of the red dots came from outside, meaning among the attackers, there were three Core Formation Stage cultivators, quite a grand scheme!

The Mountain Movers Sect had only one Nascent Soul ancestor, plus the Mountain Protection Array, making two at most. Who knew how long they could hold out?
