Chapter 1351: Attack on the Scattered Cultivators Alliance

The Rogue Cultivator Alliance has been established for over a hundred years and has three Nascent Soul cultivators. Initially, these three cultivators banded together for mutual support, forming an alliance. At first, facing a harsh external environment, the alliance was relatively united and fair.

As time passed and the external environment remained peaceful, internal conflicts within the Rogue Cultivator Alliance gradually escalated. The three Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't constantly supervise their disciples; they were either in secluded cultivation or traveling, leading to continuous disputes among their subordinates.

Lady Azureflame's disciples excelled in alchemy and believed they deserved more cultivation resources. However, the disciples and grand-disciples of the other two Nascent Soul cultivators disagreed, asserting that their patriarchs possessed stronger divine abilities. These three factions became resentful towards each other, resulting in conflicting directives and numerous embarrassing incidents.

The Rogue Cultivator Alliance controlled a total of 325 islands, including one with a Fourth-Tier spirit vein. Of these, 115 islands were overseen by Lady Azureflame's disciples.

Cultivator Azuremoon, a favored disciple of Lady Azureflame, had cultivated to the seventh level of Core Formation. He was responsible for overseeing Azuremoon Island.

Azuremoon Island resembled a blue full moon suspended above the sea. Two Core Formation cultivators were stationed there. Eighteen smaller islands encircled Azuremoon Island like stars around the moon, with Blackraccoon Island being one of them.

Blackraccoon Island was 95 li long and 72 li wide. Its terrain sloped from south to north, with a continuous mountain range in the south and an open plain in the north. It contained 500 mu of spirit fields, where a large quantity of Black Bud Spirit Rice was cultivated.

Ma Yuan, a seventh-level Foundation Establishment disciple of Cultivator Azuremoon, was responsible for managing Blackraccoon Island. Besides Ma Yuan, ten other cultivators were at his disposal. This was considered a good arrangement, as the Rogue Cultivator Alliance only had just over 1,300 cultivators in total. The main island had a permanent garrison of 300 cultivators, while islands with Core Formation cultivators usually had forty to fifty. For a small island like Blackraccoon, having eleven cultivators stationed there was quite good.

The Rogue Cultivator Alliance had been established for too short a time. To defend its 325 islands, it had to extensively recruit cultivators, which indirectly intensified the conflicts between the three factions.

One day, Ma Yuan was refining pills in his secret chamber, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Just then, the secret chamber shook violently, and a sound transmission talisman flew in.

He frowned, crushed the talisman, and a panicked man's voice suddenly rang out: "Something terrible has happened, Senior Uncle Ma! Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Ma Yuan's expression changed. This was the first time such an incident had occurred since the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was established.

He quickly extinguished the flame and hurried out.

The island's protective formation had already been breached. Five pale blue lotus flowers fluttered in the sky, led by Wang Yingjie. Besides Wang Yingjie, the other four were Qi Condensation cultivators. He had originally planned to travel, but unexpectedly found himself caught in this great battle. Recognizing a prime opportunity to achieve merit, he volunteered to participate.

"Azure Lotus, you are from the Azure Lotus Wang family. What's going on? Why are you attacking our Rogue Cultivator Alliance?" Ma Yuan said, frowning, as he quickly took out a shimmering golden long whip.

"Go ask the King of Hell!" Wang Yingjie sneered, forming a hand seal. Two golden giant eagle puppet beasts circled once before pouncing on Ma Yuan.

The four Qi Condensation cultivators each took out a blue crossbow and fired four misty blue arrows, which instantly arrived before Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan reacted quickly. With a flick of his golden whip, a whistling sound filled the air as five golden whip shadows swept out, striking the four blue arrows. The blue arrows exploded, releasing a large burst of blue flames, but as they approached within five zhang of Ma Yuan, they were shattered by the golden whip shadows.

Lightning Five-Lash! The whistling intensified as a large swath of slender golden light descended from the sky. Ma Yuan swiftly swung his golden whip, conjuring numerous whip shadows that blocked most of the golden light. Some of the golden light struck his protective spiritual barrier and was fended off.

Two golden giant eagles descended from above, their sharp talons striking towards his head. As Ma Yuan tried to dodge, two large yellow hands suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing his feet.

With two dull thuds, Ma Yuan's protective spiritual barrier instantly shattered, his head was crushed by the eagle talons, and he fell to the ground.

The other Qi Condensation cultivators quickly fled, but before they could get far, blue arrows pierced through their bodies.

"Go down and harvest the spirit grain, and make it quick! There are other islands to attend to!" Wang Yingjie commanded. This time, the Lu, Wang, and Ye families had allied and launched a sudden assault; the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was naturally no match.

"Yes, Uncle-Grandmaster Yingjie." The Wang family's generational names followed the sequence of Meng, Ji, Jun, Rong, Xian; Ying, Hua, Yun, Sheng, Rong; Hong, Cai, Sheng, Bo, Yan; Mao, Tu, Li, Quan, Gong. Currently, the youngest generation of clan members belonged to the 'Gong' character generation. With forty generations, it would take less than a hundred years to complete the cycle.

Azuremoon Island was in ruins, with flames soaring into the sky. Dozens of cultivators clashed on the ground, while four Core Formation cultivators fought in the air, creating continuous roars.

Cultivator Azuremoon was weak, with brown blood stains at the corner of his mouth. His gaze was fixed on Wang Qiuming, and his expression was exceedingly grim.

Wang Qiuming sat cross-legged on a golden lotus seat, with a golden flood dragon circling around him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, how have we, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, offended you? Your Wang family's actions are a provocation. If you leave now, I can still pretend nothing happened." Cultivator Azuremoon said, frowning, his voice somewhat weak.

Wang Qiuming remained silent. Forming a hand seal, three shimmering golden wheels glowed intensely and shot towards Cultivator Azuremoon with whistling sounds.

Cultivator Azuremoon was terrified. With a flick of his blue whisk, countless fine blue threads shot out, entangling the three golden wheels. A thick golden beam of light struck directly towards him. Behind the golden beam, there was also a massive golden wheel, spinning rapidly and emitting an ear-piercing whistling sound.

Cultivator Azuremoon quickly conjured a blue shield, which instantly expanded and blocked in front of him.

With two dull thuds, the blue shield blocked both the golden beam and the golden circular wheel.

Just then, a thick, long golden dragon tail swept over, striking Cultivator Azuremoon. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face turning extremely pale. Before he could regain his balance, a golden light suddenly flared above his head, revealing a giant golden bell.

Clang, clang, clang! The giant golden bell emitted a golden sound wave. Cultivator Azuremoon's eyes widened, then dulled, and his entire body rapidly plummeted towards the ground, smashing into a pulp.

Cultivator Azuremoon's companion tried to flee, but a huge golden flood dragon descended from the sky. Its massive claw struck his body, directly piercing through it and shattering his heart.

Lu Hengbin put away his magic treasure, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Wang's divine abilities are extraordinary; I, Lu, am truly impressed."

The Wang family already possessed five Third-Tier flood dragons. Fortunately, the Lu family had not made an enemy of the Wang family.

"Just luck," Wang Qiuming said calmly, his eyes filled with joy. "Let's finish this quickly! There are many other things to attend to!" With a Third-Tier flood dragon, few in the same cultivation realm could be his match.
