Chapter 245: The War is Over (Combined Chapter)
The Yuan Yang Sect and the Heavenly Harmony Sect have deep-seated grievances, and Liu Yu has dueled with their cultivators multiple times.
His position as a member of the sect naturally leads him to have a negative impression of the faction that dominates Jingzhou.
The actions of the four magical treasures confirmed that Liu Yu's suspicions were correct. The Silver-White Flying Sword Magical Treasure halted in front of the broken sword banner's camp, while the other three magical treasures landed in front of their respective sects' camps.
After the magical treasures arrived, the other four camps stirred significantly.
Although two of the camps were not directly visible due to the terrain and were out of spiritual consciousness range, many fluctuations in spiritual aura could still be felt.
Suddenly, a vast spiritual pressure emerged within the camp, appearing before Liu Yu and the others in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, another Golden Core cultivator had arrived. It was Elder Zhou, who was relatively slender with a long beard. He had come to preside over the Cold Mist Camp.
Elder Zhou walked near Elder Yan and set up a soundproof barrier with a wave of his hand; the two began discussing something.
Faced with two Golden Core Elders, the more than two hundred foundation establishment cultivators from Yuan Yang Sect remained relatively quiet, only whispering among themselves and occasionally glancing towards the other camps.
Meanwhile, qi refinement cultivators emerged one after another from the camp, positioning themselves behind the foundation establishment cultivators.
These qi refinement cultivators were clearly divided into two groups: one group consisted entirely of Yuan Yang Sect disciples, spaced relatively close to each other, while the other was composed of cultivators from affiliated forces, each family or sect forming small groups with considerable distance between them, clearly distrustful of one another.
Their roots were also in Qingzhou, and they likely harbored grudges against each other for survival. They were fighting together under the high-pressure situation imposed by the Yuan Yang Sect, but evidently, they were not willing to trust each other completely.
If the former were considered "regular troops," then the latter resembled "mixed soldiers."
Time gradually passed, and the great sun reached its zenith.
The cultivators from the other four camps also began to emerge. Elder Yan waved his hand to cancel the soundproof barrier, and his authoritative voice reached every cultivator's ear, ordering them to move a little distance toward the Crescent Moon Valley camp.
Upon the Elder's command, the foundation establishment stewards and qi refinement disciples immediately began to move left.
At the same time, the Crescent Moon Valley camp also stirred, moving towards the right where the Yuan Yang Sect was located.
Liu Yu understood; his spiritual consciousness could not probe ten miles, but for a Golden Core Elder, it was easy. Perhaps within that brief moment, the two sides had already reached an agreement.
As the distance closed, the Yuan Yang Sect side could clearly see the cultivators at the front of the Crescent Moon Valley.
Since half of their sect consisted of sword cultivators, many of them carried various swords on their backs or in their hands.
These swords came in different widths, lengths, and even colors; some were sheathed, while others were simply wrapped in unknown fabrics.
As their strength and cultivation relied on their swords, the cultivators from Crescent Moon Valley attached great importance to cultivating their relationship with their swords. Generally, they would not store their swords in storage bags but would hold them in their hands.
They were familiar with one another.
In comparison, the Yuan Yang Sect cultivators were "more normal."
With empty hands and storage bags at their waists, they could quickly summon magical artifacts to combat when needed, representing a more "traditional" law cultivation approach.
