The Qinglan Sect moved very quickly. In half a day, 80% of the sect's strength was assembled, leaving 10% for defense, and the remaining 70% of the combat strength set off immediately.
They headed straight for the medium-sized red gold veins, and Elder Jinxian even set off early to reach the red gold veins first.
"No one?"
The sixteen Qinglan Sect Golden Immortal elders looked puzzled when they saw the empty area around the red gold veins.
"Sixth Elder, Ninth Elder, go in and take a look!"
The leader of the Qinglan Sect did not dare to enter the mine rashly. They were on guard outside and were on guard carefully.
Soon, the Sixth Elder and the Ninth Elder came out of the mine, their expressions extremely ugly.
"What's going on?"
"Sect Master, the mineral veins have been severely damaged. Many ores have been mined roughly, and the future output will be reduced by at least half!" said the Sixth Elder.
"This is unreasonable. The Giant Tiger Sect must pay the price! Inform the disciples to divert directly to the Giant Tiger Sect's fire gold veins!" the leader of the Qinglan Sect said angrily.
As a result, the Qinglan Sect's elite army attacked the Giant Tiger Sect's fire and gold veins.
Because this mine is the closest to their army, it is easiest to attack the fire gold vein, and this is only their first step. After taking the fire gold vein, they will continue to attack other mines to grab more resources.
At this time, a dozen Golden Immortal elders from the Giant Tiger Sect and Jin Yuan Sect were still here at the Fire Gold Mine, and they had not left.
They were very angry about the destruction of the mineral vein. The other party ran away after destroying it, which was really hateful.
"Great Elder, we have just received news that the Qinglan Sect has launched a large-scale dispatch and is approaching here. It will take up to two hours to arrive." A disciple of the Giant Tiger Sect reported in a panic.
"Hmph, it's indeed the Qinglan Sect's fault. They are really evil-minded."
"This time, we must give them a head-on blow and we must not let them off lightly."
"The Qinglan Sect has been prepared for a long time. We must immediately gather our troops and fight them to the end."
"In two hours, I'm afraid it will be too late. This fire gold mine may not be saved."
"No, we will deploy a large formation immediately. The thirteen of us, with the support of the formation, are enough to withstand the Qinglan Sect for a long time. A large number of disciples from our two sects will arrive in time to attack them from behind."
"That's right. We can use the power of the formation to support us until reinforcements arrive!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and deploy the formation immediately!"
Thirteen Giant Tiger Sect and Jin Yuan Sect Jinxian elders immediately began to deploy formations, and they completely enveloped the Fire Gold Mine.
In order to kill the enemy unexpectedly, the thirteen powerful Golden Immortal warriors disguised their formations, using the low-grade Heavenly Immortal formations to cover up the high-grade Golden Immortal formations.
Once the opponent underestimates the enemy, they can take the opportunity to use the Golden Immortal High Grade to attack and damage the enemy in a large formation. If they are lucky, they can also kill a strong enemy.
Ximen Changqing is hiding near the fire gold veins. He likes to watch plays the most. How can he not support the plays he directs?
Two hours later, the mighty Qinglan Sect’s army arrived at the Giant Tiger Sect’s fire-gold veins.
"I can break through a mere low-grade formation of a heavenly being!" The Sixth Elder took the lead and rushed over alone.
"Open it for me!"
The sixth elder of the Qinglan Sect took out his golden immortal giant sword and slammed it into the formation of low-level immortals in front of him.
In his opinion, such a large formation could not withstand his full blow.
"Crack!"
His judgment was very accurate, and with one strike from his sword, the formation was shattered.
However, before he had time to be happy, a sudden change occurred.
He saw a terrifying attack suddenly coming straight to his face, making it impossible for him to avoid it.
"puff……"
The sixth elder of the Qinglan Sect was severely injured by a single blow and completely lost his fighting power.
"Kill him!"
Thirteen Golden Immortal monks hiding in the formation followed closely and launched a sneak attack, completely cutting off the path of survival for the sixth elder of the Qinglan Sect.
"Sixth Elder!"
This incident shocked everyone in the Qinglan Sect. They had just arrived and lost a strong man, which was a huge blow to their morale.
"What a shame, they actually carried out a sneak attack."
"All disciples listen to the order, form an attack formation, and bombard me with all their strength!"
The leader of the Qinglan Sect issued an attack order, asking hundreds of thousands of elite disciples to work together to attack the Golden Immortal high-grade formation below.
Although the cultivation of many disciples is not very high, as long as there are a large number of them, the combined power of hundreds of thousands of Earth Immortal monks is quite terrifying.
"Rumble..."
The formation was shaken by the bombardment, but the people controlling the formation were thirteen powerful Golden Immortals, so there was no problem in sustaining it for several hours.
"You guys from the Giant Tiger Sect, you can only hide in the formation, but you dare to come out and fight!"
"Giant Tiger Sect Rats, come out and fight!"
"As timid as a rat, let's change our name to the Giant Rat Sect from now on!"
While attacking the formation, everyone in the Qinglan Sect began to curse. It would be to their advantage if the other party could come out to fight.
The thirteen Golden Immortal monks in the formation were naturally very angry when they heard this, but they would not be fooled. They could wait to defend the formation, but if they went out to fight, they would definitely lose.
Even if they killed a powerful Golden Immortal on the other side, there were still fifteen people on the other side, two more than them. Their cultivation strength was not weak, and there were hundreds of thousands of low-level disciples to help them. They could only wait for change.
"You must not go out. We just need to hold them back until the elite disciples of the sect arrive, and then we can sneak attack from behind and severely damage the Qinglan Sect!"
"You're right, we will never go out and consume them to death!"
"Haha! This time we were able to kill the sixth elder of the Qinglan Sect with a sneak attack. We have already won a small victory."
"That old boy is too careless. I didn't expect to kill a Golden Immortal monk. This is an unexpected surprise!"
"Use both immortal stones and elixirs to restore your immortal power. Don't let your immortal power be lost when you fight back."
Thirteen Golden Immortal monks were hiding in the formation to defend, mobilizing the energy of the formation from time to time to make sneak attacks on the opponent's Golden Immortal monks.
This is a war of attrition, and it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
Ximen Changqing, who was hiding in the distance, looked a little bored. He was about to leave when he saw reinforcements from two sects arriving in the distance.
Each of the two supporting troops has nearly 100,000 troops, each led by a Golden Immortal elder, and the rest are disciples of Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortals.
"Haha! Now we are evenly matched, and there will be a good show."
Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Jin Yuan Sect and the Giant Tiger Sect, Ximen Changqing smiled. His goal was achieved.
"Jin Yuanzong disciples, kill!"
"Disciples of the Giant Tiger Sect, attack!"
The two elders led a large number of disciples to kill the Qinglan Sect disciples.
"Sect Master, reinforcements from their two sects have arrived."
"It came very quickly. It was obviously well prepared! This is a tough battle!"
"I'm going to kill a lot today!"
"All disciples are preparing to face the enemy. The elders will follow me to fight. Kill two of their elders first!"
The leader of the Qinglan Sect is preparing to concentrate his superior strength to kill the two Golden Immortal elders who are being reinforced by the opponent.
"It's time to counterattack, go out and fight!"
"kill!"
The thirteen Golden Immortal monks who were hiding in the formation immediately rushed out and held back most of the elders of the Qinglan Sect to prevent the reinforcements of their own elders from being besieged.
For a time, a fierce battle broke out. Both sides were composed of fifteen Golden Immortal elders. The Qinglan Sect, the disciples of the Celestial Immortals, had the upper hand, but in terms of the disciples of the Earthly Immortals, the Qinglan Sect was at a disadvantage.
Overall, the combat power of both sides is balanced, and no one has an overwhelming advantage.
In this kind of evenly matched battle, the casualties must be very terrifying. Unless one party voluntarily gives in and chooses to evacuate the battlefield, the number of casualties will continue to increase.
"Fight! Fight! Fight them all to death!"
Ximen Changqing admired this beautiful scene from a distance.
The three major sects may not be able to see through his little scheme. If you think carefully, you can find many problems.
However, the hatred between the two sides is so deep that even if there is a problem, they are unwilling to think about other aspects to avoid being labeled as collaborators.
As long as the attacker is suspected of being a hostile sect, it must have been done by the hostile sect. If he is unwilling to admit this, then he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
In addition, both parties are unconvinced and want revenge, so even if someone realizes that they are being used by someone with ulterior motives, they will jump in regardless.
The battle lasted for five days and five nights. The remaining forces of the three major sects also sent reinforcements many times, resulting in immeasurable casualties.
As for the Jinxian elders, three from the Qinglan Sect, two from the Giant Tiger Sect, and one from the Jinyuan Sect were killed. The overall losses were not very large, but there were many serious injuries.
There were many casualties among the Celestial Immortal disciples. Qinglan Sect lost more than 80 Celestial Immortal disciples. Jin Yuan Sect and Juhu Sect both lost about 50 people. Earth Immortal disciples suffered even more losses. Earth Immortals from the three parties lost.
The number of disciples is no less than 50,000.
During these five days, the ant colony under Ximen Changqing has been hiding deep underground, escaping from the ground from time to time, snatching the storage ring of the fallen monk, and harvesting a lot of resources.
"Master, we are rich! Tens of thousands of storage rings!" Xiao Jin looked at the tens of thousands of storage rings in front of him and said excitedly.
"It's a fortune, but it's a pity that the three major sects only fought for five days. Although the losses were huge, the main force is still there!"
Ximen Changqing smiled. In fact, he was already very satisfied. This battle had at least left Qinglan Sect injured.
In this way, they should not be in the mood to care about the small things in Qingfeng Valley. After all, sending a force to Qingfeng Valley will weaken their defensive strength. Once the Giant Tiger Sect and Jin Yuan Sect launch an attack, they will be under greater pressure.
However, Ximen Changqing only guessed that the Qinglan Sect was not in the mood to control Qingfeng Valley, but ignored the determination of the ninth elder of the Qinglan Sect.
In a cave in the Qinglan Sect's main altar, a Qingfeng Valley Immortal monk told the sect's experiences with a worried expression.
"That's enough. When did I say I won't help Qingfeng Valley? But you have also seen the current situation. The Jin Yuan Sect and the Giant Tiger Sect have launched a joint attack on us.
The sect master has given an order for us to prepare for the war with all our strength, but I really can’t get away! If the Qinglan Sect is destroyed, there will be no hope for Qingfeng Valley!" The ninth elder of the Qinglan Sect yelled angrily.
"Senior, this is not what I mean. If senior is temporarily unable to leave, you can send a few confidants to warn the Xuanyue Sect monks and ask them to voluntarily withdraw from Qingfeng Valley, cultivate the losses of our sect, and punish the murderers of our elders!"
The Earth Immortal monk continued to persuade.
"Your request is too high. If I go there in person, it is still possible to achieve it. If I only send my confidants, the most I can do is make them withdraw from Qingfeng Valley. For the remaining conditions, I will wait for you to get away.
Fight for it!" the ninth elder of Qinglan Sect said.
"Yes, senior, thank you very much, senior." After the Earthly Immortal monk finished speaking, he handed a storage ring to the ninth elder of the Qinglan Sect.
This is this year's offering, and it is specially reserved for the Ninth Elder. This is also the main reason why the Ninth Elder helps them, and it is driven by profit.
Soon, the ninth elder of the Qinglan Sect found his disciple, a late-stage Celestial Immortal monk.
"Liu Fei, take my token and go to Qingfeng Valley to ask the Xuanyue Sect who captured Qingfeng Valley to withdraw from Qingfeng Valley immediately."
He issued the order very confidently. In his opinion, a mere Celestial Sect would never dare to disobey his decision.
"Yes, I will definitely get it done!" Liu Fei, who is in the late stage of Tianxian, immediately rushed to Qingfeng Valley with the Qingfeng Valley Earth Immortal monks after accepting the mission.
After a tragic battle between the three major sects, all three parties are making every effort to make repairs, but this does not mean that the war is over. They will continue to fight and are planning bigger actions.
Years of hatred are not easy to resolve, not to mention that they have added new hatred now.
The combination of old and new grudges makes it even more difficult to resolve.
In the main hall of Qingfeng Valley, more than a dozen core members of the Ximen family, as well as Xuan Shang and other Xuanyue Sect elders, gathered together to discuss how to digest the Qingfeng Valley industry.
Xuanyue Sect has sent disciples to seize many of the mineral veins that originally belonged to Qingfeng Valley, and Xiancao Garden is also nervously accepting them. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The only thing that made everyone uneasy was the threat from the Qinglan Sect.
Qinglan Sect is a powerful sect with more than 20 golden immortals. Once it intervenes, it will be difficult for Xuanyue Sect to resist. All the properties gained this time will be lost. Even the properties that originally belonged to Xuanyue Sect will be lost.
Also lost along with it.
In this regard, Xuan Shang and others had no choice but to count on the Ximen family. After all, they could clearly see Ximen Changqing's golden immortal cultivation.
Those who can fight against the Jinxian Sect can only be forces with the same strength. They believe that the Ximen family, at least the Jinxian family, can definitely solve this threat.
In fact, everyone in the Ximen family is also very nervous. They can only rely on Ximen Changqing. If Ximen Changqing cannot handle it, the rest of the clan will be helpless.
Of course, they would not tell the Xuanyue Sect the true story of the family, they would just comfort them and let them rest assured.
Soon, news about Ximen Changqing came back.
After seeing the news, Ximen Rende showed a relaxed smile.
"This Chang Qing is really ruthless. He actually caused Qinglan Sect to fight with the other two Golden Immortal sects. Three Golden Immortal monks died. These should have no time to care about the trivial matters of Qingfeng Valley." Ximen Rende laughed.
Then, he told the news to all the tribesmen.
"Haha! This is a great thing! Now we can relax." Ximen Yunlong said happily.
"Clan leader, a monk who claims to be a direct disciple of the Qinglan Sect has broken in! He has also injured several of our Earth Immortal clan members."
A member of the Earth Immortal Tribe hurriedly reported the matter.
