CHAPTER 411: Sunset on the West Mountain
Of course, forming various formations and squads does not mean that during the war, they must crowd together tightly.
In that case, they would merely become a target.
A casual strike from a golden core master’s magical artifact is enough to severely injure such a formation, causing massive casualties.
During combat, a formation is often spread out over a certain area, waiting for orders to simultaneously launch attacks with magical artifacts and spells.
As Liu Yu's gaze swept across the formations on the training ground, he couldn't help but marvel at the unfathomable strength of the sect.
Just one sect possesses such power, not to mention the Heavenly Harmony Sect and Crescent Moon Valley.
Today, with the White Cloud Temple facing its sunset, it is utterly unable to resist; its defeat is merely a matter of time.
What he must do is to remain low-key until the war concludes.
Turning his head towards the camps of the Heavenly Harmony Sect and Crescent Moon Valley, although he couldn't see clearly from such a distance, he could still sense the noticeable activity in the two camps.
"It seems the attack on Cloud High Mountain is set for today," he thought.
After observing for a long while, Liu Yu finally withdrew his gaze, quietly waiting for the elders' arrival.
During his waiting time, more and more cultivators surged into the training ground from various directions, increasing the total number of cultivators.
This situation continued for about half an hour.
As time passed, the number of cultivators arriving from the camps gradually decreased, and aside from high-level cultivators, most of the others gathered in the training ground.
The surrounding tents stretched for miles, and the formations on the training ground were bustling with activity, looking quite magnificent.
Liu Yu had been at the training ground for about an hour when he finally sensed the aura of the golden core elder and focused his gaze.
He saw more than thirty golden core cultivators arriving together, passing through the open area in front of the training ground, and successively ascending a podium about ten meters high.
Standing on the platform, they looked down at the crowd of cultivators.
The cultivation level of the golden core cultivators was unfathomable, and at this moment, they did not deliberately conceal their spiritual pressure.
The spiritual pressure at the golden core level enveloped the entire training ground, immediately silencing many chattering cultivators as the crowd visibly quieted down.
In front of high-level cultivators, no one dared to be reckless.
At this critical moment, if one offended a golden core elder, it would be very easy for them to casually arrange a charge and execute the offender.
"Master Changfeng, Affordable Master, Elder Qi Yuntian."
Liu Yu's gaze swept over the thirty-three golden core cultivators, and he quickly averted his eyes, not daring to look more.
These golden core cultivators were both familiar and unfamiliar to him; there were even more compared to the time in Ancient Rampart City, with the leader being Master Changfeng.
Of course, he knew that not all of them were golden core elders from the sect.
The sect only had thirty to forty golden core cultivators on the surface, and they needed to leave enough strength to defend Qingzhou, so they couldn't all be dispatched here.
Among these thirty-three golden core cultivators, some should be golden core forces allied with the Yan State, while others came to assist the three sects in "restoring order" by following the orders of the Alliance of the Nine States.
Just as Liu Yu was pondering, Master Changfeng began to speak from the podium.
"The Yan State and Nanyu State have secretly conspired with both Orthodox and Demonic paths. We have come here to eradicate the traitors by order of the alliance."
"Siege and field battles, without exceeding the year."
"In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and the alliance's mission is nearing completion."
