In today's battle, the coalition forces of the four sects had a slight upper hand, but their own losses were not small.
Not to mention the Taiyi Sect, the other three sects suffered heavy casualties as well as the Liu family.
After the war, the four sects collected the bodies, treated the wounded, and organized the teams. It wasn't until nightfall that I reluctantly settled down.
The four sects have established four temporary camps for temporary rest.
The five foundation-building monks did not stay in the camp. Instead, they followed Xu Yishan of the Linshan Sect to a nearby sand dune and waited quietly.
The Liu family and Qingzhu Mountain also began to rest and recuperate after retreating to Mingshafang City.
Although the two coalition forces temporarily retreated today, their casualties were slightly less than their opponents.
The most important thing is that the two coalition forces rely on the protective formation in Mingshafang City. Even if the battle situation is unfavorable for a while, they will not be defeated.
As long as we retreat to the city and rely on the protective array to defend, it will be impossible to break through the array and enter the city based on the enemy's strength.
In the evening, the elder Zhuqiang who received the message from Qingzhuzi also rushed to Mingshafang City from other places.
Elder Zhuqiang had been monitoring the movements of Lin Quanguan under the orders of Feihong Sect.
Lin Quanguan's side was unmoved, but Mingshafang City's side suffered an unexpected defeat.
Elder Bamboo Spear arrived, and they had one more monk in the foundation-building stage.
Don't underestimate the difference between this person, maybe this is the difference between the winner and the loser of the battle.
The monks from both families began to recharge their batteries and prepare to fight again tomorrow.
The two families had not lost their vitality, but now they have the reinforcements of the bamboo spear elders. Everyone believes that tomorrow's battle will definitely reverse the defeat and win a complete victory.
On the other side of the four coalition forces, five foundation-building monks waited on the sand dunes until midnight while blowing the cold wind.
However, none of the five people showed any impatience, but waited quietly without saying a word.
Finally, a figure descended from the dark sky and came to the five people.
The descending figure turned out to be Gu Tanghai, whom Meng Zhang had not seen for a long time.
Gu Tanghai's eyes glanced at Meng Zhang casually, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.
"Have you got the stuff?" Xu Yishan asked a little anxiously.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Gu Tanghai took out a disc slightly larger than a palm.
This seemingly inconspicuous disc is the central array that controls the protective array of Mingshafang City.
When the monks stationed in Shuangfeng Valley withdrew that day, they took away this array plate. Later, Qingzhushan had to summon the formation masters and refine a copycat product instead.
With the genuine array disk in hand, not only can it disable Qingzhushan's control of the array, but it can also control the array in turn and directly attack the Liu family and the monks of Qingzhushan.
When the five foundation-building monks were discussing secretly in the Linshan Sect that day, Xu Yishan said that Gu Tanghai could be invited to help and put forward conditions for Gu Tanghai.
After defeating their opponents and taking back Mingshafang City, the four sects and Gu Tanghai equally shared the interests of Mingshafang City. Gu Tanghai is responsible for the daily management of Mingshafang City.
Originally, none of the four sects could trust another sect to control Mingshafang City. Now, if Mingshafang City is handed over to Gu Tanghai, a casual cultivator, everyone can accept it as long as their own interests are not lost.
Xu Yishan didn't lie. Gu Tanghai did appear in time and brought the key to victory or defeat.
Gu Tanghai did not explain how he obtained this array plate, so no one asked any more questions.
Seeing that it was almost dawn and time was running out, Gu Tanghai didn't bother to chat with everyone and was about to lead them into action.
This operation focused on concealment. Except for these six foundation-building monks, everyone only brought a few elites from the sect.
Meng Zhang only brought two disciples, Yang Xueyi and Wen Qianshuan, to act with him.
Under the cover of darkness, everyone quietly approached Mingshafang City.
With the central array that controlled the array in hand, everyone effortlessly passed through the protective array and rushed towards the center of Mingshafang.
At this time, in Mingshafang City, most of them, ranging from the strong ones in the foundation building stage to the young monks in the Qi refining stage, were meditating and adjusting their breath to recharge their energy for tomorrow's battle.
Only a small number of monks are responsible for vigilance in the city. Anyway, with Fangshi's protective array, he is not afraid of a sneak attack.
The people who sneaked into Fang City successfully avoided the few guards and several groups of patrolling monks, and entered the center of Mingshafang City.
There is a high attic built here, which is a key location for controlling the protective array of Mingshafang City.
The time that Qingzhushan and the Liu family occupied Mingshafang City was too short, and they have not yet figured out many key points in the city.
The most important thing is that they underestimated the protective circle originally set up by Shuangfeng Valley. He thought that the copycat formation disk refined by several formation masters could replace Shuangfenggu's original formation disk.
Shuangfeng Valley has dominated this area for many years. It is a well-deserved reputation. Mingshafang City is the most important stronghold outside the mountain gate of Shuangfeng Valley. The secrets of its protective array are definitely not something that ordinary array mages can master in a short time. clearly.
Gu Tanghai didn't know where he got this information, but he suddenly grasped the key point of the magic circle.
The guards were subdued silently and everyone entered the attic.
Gu Tanghai took out the array disk and inserted it into a restriction on the ground.
After a lot of work, the control of Mingshafang City's protective array fell into Gu Tanghai's hands.
Gu Tanghai divided part of the authority of the protective circle and let everyone who followed take control of it.
Everyone controlled the magic circle together and launched a fatal surprise attack on the two monks in the formation.
No one thought that the magic circle that originally protected their family would become the murderer who took their own lives.
Mingshafang City soon fell into chaos.
The magic circle was at full power, attacking the two monks desperately.
Qingzhushan and the Liu family had the reinforcement of Elder Bamboo Spear, who was in the early stage of foundation building, but the four sects had the reinforcement of Gu Tanghai, who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
One of the four sects silently controlled the protective array in Mingshafang City, completely occupying the convenient location.
Qingzhuzi and Liu Dahai, who realized something was wrong, also tried to lead experts to regain control of the magic circle.
A war broke out in Mingshafang City between monks in the foundation building period.
With the blessing of the power of the magic circle, the strength of the four monks increased greatly, and each one was extremely brave, beating the enemy back steadily.
After a hard night's fighting, the battle has not stopped at daybreak and is still going on.
Although the four sects have a small number of people, they have achieved very fruitful results with the help of the magic circle.
Almost all the Qi Refining Stage monks from the Liu family and Qingzhu Mountain died in Mingshafang City. Only a very few lucky people can escape.
The elders of the Liu family, Liu Dajiang and Liu Dahai, died on the spot. Only the head of the family, Liu Dahai, broke through and escaped in time.
Elder Zhuqiang died in the battle, Qingzhuzi was seriously injured, and was rescued by Zhujian.
This battle allowed Meng Zhang to truly see how terrifying a second-level magic circle with full firepower could be.
