As another Golden Core level power in Yanxing County, some people wanted to speak up for Huaxiang Valley, but they opened their mouths and didn't say a word.
After all, everyone knows exactly what this faction is like.
Despite the fact that this sect is mostly composed of female cultivators and appears to be in the business of selling spiritual herbs and pills, they are actually engaged in the business of selling cauldrons.
To put it bluntly, it's no different from the demonic path.
Zhang Lingyu glanced at the crowd indifferently, inwardly scoffing.
Perhaps quite a few people here have secretly bought from Huaxiang Valley.
"Lingyu is right. Since there is the precedent of Blood Dragon Stronghold, we must be wary of Flower Fragrance Valley, and the same goes for Iron Sword Sect." True Monarch Kuilin tapped the table with his fingertips and said in a deep voice.
The State of Chu had been plotting for a long time, and it was impossible for them to only have Blood Dragon Village as a hidden pawn. The two families of Flower Fragrance Valley, as the gateway between Yanxing County and the heartland of the State of Zhao, were indeed the best pawns.
Perhaps the great formation has been deactivated at this moment, just waiting for people to pass through quickly.
However, without substantial evidence, it's not appropriate to condemn someone outright.
However, we must be wary.
He immediately consulted with True Monarch Bai Yan through telepathy, then took out something from his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "If the two families of Huaxiang Valley have indeed submitted to the Chu Kingdom, you will inevitably face obstacles when you try to take over the great formation. This is a sixth-order formation-breaking bead, enough to break the great formation!"
"Once the great formation is broken, not a single cultivator who has defected will be spared!"
The great formation is a barrier against the beast tide. Without it, the casualties on the Zhao side would be much greater than expected.
But this was a last resort. Whether they could make Chu unable to make any progress depended on Huaxiang Valley, and they could not give it up.
If he could, True Lord Kuilin truly hoped that Zhang Lingyu was wrong.
Judging from Huaxiang Valley's past practices, the possibility of betrayal is very high.
Hopefully, they can recognize their stance when faced with matters of principle...
He sighed inwardly, slowly rose, bowed to the assembled cultivators, and solemnly said:
"Gentlemen, if we fail to hold the two passes this time, the southern defense line will inevitably collapse. At that time, a large number of sects and families in the entire Zhao Kingdom will be wiped out, and ordinary people will only become food for the enemy."
"Gentlemen, please!"
"Your Majesty, you must not perform such a grand ceremony! The State of Zhao is our foundation. Even if Your Majesty did not say so, we would fight to the death to resist!" the cultivators hurriedly said.
"Alright, let's not delay any longer. Let's proceed according to the plan we just discussed."
......
Two hours later, when everyone saw the gradually clear outline of the valley and the great array with its twisting spiritual light in the distance, their expressions became solemn.
Because it was an extremely urgent matter, True Lord Kuilin specially bestowed a magical artifact for the journey, and along the way, he poured magical power into the artifact at any cost, and finally caught up.
Besides leaving three Golden Core cultivators to guard Tianliu City, the Iron Sword Sect and Flower Fragrance Valley each sent five Golden Core cultivators to guard the city first. The remaining Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul cultivators went to Thousand Blade Valley to intercept them.
Zhang Lingyu was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, so he was not sent to intercept them. Instead, he went ahead with True Person Xuanshui and Song Siyu to explore Flower Fragrance Valley.
As for the remaining two Golden Core cultivators, they escorted a large number of low-level cultivators behind them, and it would take them at least another two hours to arrive.
Seeing no signs of trampling from the beast tide below, Zhang Lingyu, whose face was pale from excessive consumption of magic power, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the Chu Kingdom and the demon race have not yet arrived here."
Just as they flew a distance further, a jade pendant in each of their sleeves shattered simultaneously.
This was distributed to each Golden Core cultivator by True Monarch Kuilin before he left. If any jade pendant is broken, it proves that they have arrived at Thousand Blade Valley!
A few breaths later, the other jade pendant also shattered.
Upon seeing this, True Man Xuan Shui immediately transmitted his voice to the two of them: "Ling Yu, Si Yu, it seems we timed it perfectly. Right now, the Chu Kingdom and the Demon Clan are in Thousand Blade Valley, and they have been intercepted by True Monarch and the others."
The fact that this jade pendant is broken signifies that the conflict has already begun with the demon race and the Chu Kingdom.
The two jade pendants broke within five breaths of each other; if it had been even a little later, they would have truly passed through smoothly.
"Senior Xuan Shui, Fellow Daoist Song...we need to speed things up," Zhang Lingyu said in a deep voice.
The two sides are currently engaged in a fierce battle in Thousand Blade Valley, which provides them with ample time. However, due to the rapid march of the Zhao Kingdom, their mana consumption is considerable, and the low-level cultivators cannot keep up. This will put a lot of pressure on the Golden Core cultivators.
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, we must quickly take over Flower Valley.
"Lingyu is absolutely right. Let's move even faster." Xuan Shui Zhenren gripped the array-breaking bead in his sleeve and said in a deep voice.
After about fifteen minutes, the three of them finally stopped in front of the gate of Flower Fragrance Valley. They quickly took pills to restore their mana, knowing that if they couldn't reach an agreement, a big battle would be inevitable.
Zhang Lingyu looked down at the valley brimming with spiritual energy and the rows of palaces nestled within it, marveling at the sight.
"What a treasure trove!"
"Isn't that right?"
Master Xuan Shui nodded and explained, "Beneath Flower Fragrance Valley lies a mid-grade third-tier wood-attribute spiritual vein, which is why the herb business in Flower Fragrance Valley is booming. It's a pity..."
He didn't continue, but both of them understood what he meant.
If Huaxiang Valley doesn't activate the grand formation, they will inevitably launch a strong attack on it. In that case, the grand formation will be destroyed, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many cultivators, and the spiritual fields below will also be lost.
Even if the other side changes their mind and hands over the great formation to them, this place still won't be able to be protected when the beast tide arrives.
The three shook their heads and flew a short distance. Before they had taken more than a few steps, a cold female voice came from the valley.
"Which fellow Daoist has come to visit? Do you know that this is the gate of my Fragrant Flower Valley? It is currently wartime, and our valley does not receive any outsiders. I hope you will leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhang Lingyu remained silent. Xuan Shui Zhenren beside him frowned slightly, took a step forward, and bowed, saying, "I am Xuan Shui from Yu Guang Pavilion. I hope Fairy Lin will come out for a chat."
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui?"
The voice was silent for a few moments, then finally rang out again, tinged with surprise.
Before long, a streak of light came from the mountains. Because of its vigilance, it did not go out of the formation, but stood at the edge of the formation. When it saw that Zhang Lingyu and Song Siyu were with Xuan Shui Zhenren, the melancholy between its brows deepened.
She was observing the three of them, and Zhang Lingyu was also watching them.
"The Valley Master of Fragrant Flowers, a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage... Lin Miaoxiang."
He secretly observed the beautiful woman, while Xuan Shui Zhenren beside him seemed to have sunk to the bottom of a valley. This scene undoubtedly confirmed Zhang Lingyu's guess, but he didn't want to turn hostile so quickly, and only said:
"Fairy Lin, I am indeed guarding Tianliu Town, but the True Lord has ordered the three of us to come and assist you in guarding the great formation. The situation is urgent, so I hope you will let the three of us in first."
