Chapter 1242 - 1242: Battle (Part 1)
The Great Elder's words directly revealed his stance.
Then, the Great Elder issued an order that if anyone dared to leave the Dan God Sect at this crucial moment, they would be killed without mercy.
The elders who were originally wavering immediately tensed up, not daring to utter a single word of nonsense.
Soon, the whole Dan God Sect was mobilized.
Ren Wobai quickly stationed the Law Enforcement Hall members around the various mountain roads of the Dan God Sect, while the Great Elder contributed all the poison pills he crafted over the years.
Originally, Ye Guichen thought that even if the Great Elder had poison pills, there wouldn't be too many, but when they were taken out, he found that these poison pills could possibly wipe out tens of thousands of people.
Involuntarily, Ye Guichen's spirit was greatly stirred, thinking whether he should take the opportunity to seize Three Harmonies Valley.
However, after this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Guichen quickly shook his head, secretly scolding himself for being too greedy.
Just relying on the cultivation of the people from Dan God Sect, even if they could occupy Three Harmonies Valley, they wouldn't be able to hold it.
The ones who can truly fight are still from the Silver Spear Sect.
However, the Silver Spear Sect is far away, and even if their disciples were summoned, it would take at least three to four days, or even longer.
Nevertheless, Ye Guichen had made up his mind.
He decided to settle things here first, then immediately return to the mundane world to place the spirit stones and Carefree Sword Immortal's sword into the storage ring and carry them with him.
As the saying goes, before moving troops, supply comes first.
With those spirit stones, it would be much easier to expand his strength using the territory of Dan God Sect, targeting the Seven Kings.
Moreover, when the news of him being the Son of the Nether Emperor spreads, there might be many who would come to join him.
All these require a large amount of spirit stones.
If that's really the case, it seems that only his spirit stones would not be enough.
Ye Guichen furrowed his brows, pondering what to do next.
The entire Dan God Sect was already busy in action.
The Great Elder personally commanded the disciples to set up the poison pills.
These poison pills, like landmines, once triggered, would have absolute destructive power.
Just over two hours later, news came from Ren Wobai that Hu Lu was leading a charge straight towards Dan God Sect.
The opponent had no intention of hiding at all, seemingly planning to launch a frontal assault.
Poison pills were distributed around Dan God Sect, and there were many at the front as well.
Ye Guichen's heart tightened instantly, and he immediately brought people to the front gate.
However, he did not recklessly go out but stood at the rear gate, watching quietly.
Outside the front gate of Dan God Sect was a vast empty area, where over a thousand poison pills were deployed.
The Great Elder stood beside Ye Guichen, worry on his face mingled with a touch of pride as he said, "Ye Sheng, these pills are the fruits of my lifetime's work. If one day you truly ascend to the Nether Emperor's throne, you must compensate me."
Ye Guichen glanced at the Great Elder, respectfully saying, "Great Elder, rest assured. Today is our first battle against King Qin; we can only win, not lose! Moreover, we must win boldly, letting everyone know of my existence. By that time, I will repay your pills twice over."
"Then I will thank the Young Master in advance!" The Great Elder grinned, but with his face full of swollen blisters, it looked extremely bizarre and terrifying.
"Turtle of the Dan God Sect! This general has arrived, if you have guts, come down and face death!" Hu Lu's voice sounded.
Arrogant as ever.
Ye Guichen stepped out, standing at a high vantage point, gazing at Hu Lu, then extended his middle finger towards him.
Hu Lu was enraged, provoked, waved his hand: "Kill them for me!"
The Qin soldiers behind him roared, like raging wolves, charging towards Dan God Sect.
The Great Elder simultaneously waved his hand: "Release the poison pills!"
Following the Great Elder's voice, the poison pills exploded around the Qin soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with multicolored toxic mist.
"Ah! What is happening?"
"It's poison!"
"Despicable! Dan God Sect is so shameless to use poison!"
The Qin soldiers quickly experienced fatalities.
Hu Lu's face turned somber, with a roar, a black flag appeared in his hand.
He waved the black flag, stirring up a gust of wind that swiftly blew away the poison pills.
Although the process was quick, the effects of the poison pills were evident.
At least one-third of the Qin soldiers were affected by the poison pills, one-fifth died on the spot, and barely two-thirds were able to continue fighting.
"Indeed shameless!" Hu Lu put away the black flag: "Kill them for me!"
Ye Guichen was also surprised that Hu Lu had such abilities, curiously asking, "What is this black flag in Hu Lu's hand?"
Mu Yang's eyes sparkled, "If I'm correct, this flag is likely a spiritual artifact, and its grade is not low. No, it's not a spiritual artifact, it's a Daoist magic artifact."
Mu Yang slapped his forehead, seeming to recall something, "I remember now, I've seen this flag before, it seems to be called the Hei Feng Flag, able to create gusts of wind, even suppress certain specters. Unexpectedly, Hu Lu has some abilities!"
"Haha, I love battling such people, Sect Leader, I'll go slaughter him now!"
Mu Yang spoke as he grabbed his silver spear and charged down.
Ye Guichen saw the poison pills swiftly being neutralized by Hu Lu, if the remaining over six hundred attackers charged up, many disciples of Dan God Sect would be killed or injured.
At times like this, he'd have to step in.
"Back off everyone!"
Ye Guichen's cultivation had greatly increased, even executing the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique and the Yi Mu Evergreen Doctrine was no longer as strenuous as before.
The aftereffects were also not as severe as before.
Ye Guichen ignored Mu Yang.
Though Hu Lu was formidable, Mu Yang was no easy opponent either.
Even if Mu Yang's cultivation level was lower than Hu Lu's, in a real fight, Mu Yang should manage to distract Hu Lu to some extent.
Ye Guichen stood at the gate of the Dan God Sect, coldly observing the Qin soldiers, with an aura of a lone hero blocking a thousand.
"What's he doing? Does he want to fight all these Qin soldiers alone?"
"Are you kidding? He's only been at Dan God Sect for a few days, although his cultivation isn't weak, he's not capable of confronting so many people, right?"
"Yeah, even a fierce tiger can't fight a pack of wolves, is he seeking death?"
"No, look quickly, what's Ye Sheng doing?"
Someone exclaimed as they noticed Ye Guichen's hands moving, and countless vines grew in front of him.
These vines seemed alive, each one as thick as a thumb, with sharp ends, numbering dozens, blocking the entire entrance of Dan God Sect firmly.
Some quick Qin soldiers rushed forward, those vines seeming to grow eyes, directly piercing through their hearts, exterminating them.
In just a few minutes, over a hundred Qin soldiers had died upon those vines.
