The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 520: The Siege

Shen Yifeng said this calmly but with firm conviction.

Su Jingzhen was once again taken aback.

He knew that before his appearance, Shen Yifeng had also been quite optimistic about Luo Yuebai and Zou Zeyu.

After all, Zou Zeyu had already reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, which truly made him a genius.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been a good match for Luo Yuebai.

It was only his appearance and his sudden rise that Shen Yifeng and others were so surprised by.

Because of him, Shen Yifeng’s previous ideas had changed.

As for Shen Yifeng himself, he was able to give up his original intention of making Zou Zeyu the sect master.

However, he would never abandon the entire Evil Moon Sect.

At this moment, he had to admit that Shen Yifeng’s image seemed to have changed in Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

He seemed more glorious and majestic.

Su Jingzhen was even more curious about what had happened in the Luo River Valley back then.

He knew that Shen Yifeng would never tell him those things.

He would have to go to the Luo River Valley and investigate for himself.

However, Su Jingzhen felt completely relaxed at this moment.

After getting a general understanding of Shen Yifeng’s strength,

He suddenly felt that the top forces from Qingzhou, Cangzhou, and Huangzhou coming to lay siege to the Linjiang branch was just a joke.

His only concern now was what Luo Yuebai had worried about earlier, that this incident would attract the attention of forces from beyond Qingzhou, the Luo River Valley, and even stronger regions.

After all, the news about the spirit vein was still spreading.

As the master and disciple talked, time slowly passed.

Su Jingzhen didn’t know what the situation in Linjiang City was like now.

They didn’t bother to find out.

They were just sitting in the central square, and anyone who dared to enter the Evil Moon Sect would be considered an enemy.

Under this state, several hours passed quickly.

Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng sat in the central square from morning until the sun went down.

They didn’t see a single person coming.

“Master, something seems wrong.

In the morning, there were so many top forces surrounding Linjiang City.

But so much time has passed, and by now, all the top forces from the Qingzhou region should have arrived.

Are they still afraid to attack? Aren’t they afraid that we’ll just slip away?”

In response to Su Jingzhen’s question, Shen Yifeng laughed again, “Do you think those who can be called the top forces in the Qingzhou region are fools?

Some of them are well aware of my martial prowess.

They are waiting for forces from Huangzhou, Cangzhou, and even the Luo River basin or Zhongzhou to arrive.

Perhaps the forces around Linjiang City are already sufficient, with at least ten Soul Formation level cultivators.

Even though they think their strength is sufficient, they still lack one crucial thing: momentum. “

“They want the fortune you received at Dantai Ruins.

But the treasures in the ruins are for those with the right karma.

You got them, so they should be yours, but they are unwilling and unjust.

So they have to use their momentum to oppress you.”

As he spoke, Shen Yifeng’s mouth curled up in contempt, “That’s how the so-called righteous sects are. They want to use force, but they have to find a noble reason.

If it were our demonic path, they wouldn’t hesitate so much. If you have the power, take it; if you don’t, stay out of it.

After a pause, he continued, “But for now, let’s just wait here.

They will come eventually.”

Su Jingzhen nodded and said nothing more.

He sat on the ground with Shen Yifeng and quietly adjusted his breathing to prepare his state to its peak.

Until nightfall, there was still no movement.

Twenty miles outside of Linjiang City, Nascent Soul and Soul Formation level cultivators from various top forces were stationed in all directions.

As Shen Yifeng had predicted, these people were looking toward Linjiang City, but none of them dared to attack directly.

The forces that arrived later, such as the Heavenly Blade Sect and the Peerless Sect, went to investigate the spirit vein first.

The result was as expected.

Most people cursed the person who spread the news about the spirit vein.

About ten miles outside of Linjiang City, on a hill, was the Linjiang branch of the Alchemist Association.

Previously, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai had visited the branch sects of the top powers, such as Spirit Sound Valley and Flowing Wind Sword Sect.

However, they did not visit the Alchemist Association.

Ye Zhiqiu had already returned here.

And with the spread of the Spirit Vein incident, high-level cultivators from the Alchemist Association headquarters, such as Ouyang Mingyue, had also stationed themselves here.

“It seems like we are a step behind.

We didn’t have a chance to communicate with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, and Linjiang City was surrounded by those impatient people.”

Standing at the mountain gate, Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

There was a hint of regret in his expression.

Next to him, Ye Zhiqiu’s eyes showed a hint of concern.

“I heard that all the members of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect have retreated to Clear Wind Mountain.

They seem to have a mysterious fortress there. I wonder if we can help them?”

Upon hearing Ye Zhiqiu’s words, Ouyang Mingyue sighed softly.

“We should have let you return sooner. It’s really unexpected that these guys are so impatient. Now… unfortunately…”

Before he finished, Ouyang Mingyue waved his hand and walked towards the gate.

During the Dantai Ruins, Ouyang Mingyue had already noticed that Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have a special interest in Su Jingzhen.

After witnessing Su Jingzhen’s potential in the ruins, he didn’t object to it, and even supported it.

He had already said that the Linjiang branch of the Alchemist Association could be independent from the headquarters.

All matters were decided by Ye Zhiqiu alone.

If Ye Zhiqiu had stood by the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect from the beginning, the core members of the Linjiang branch of the Alchemist Association might have completely followed the main force of the Evil Moon Sect.

At the very least, Ye Zhiqiu would have gained a lot of favor with Su Jingzhen.

However, it seemed like everything was a step too late.

“I hope you can get through this safely.”

Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze still looked in the direction of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

She silently prayed.

Even though she wanted the Linjiang branch to stand by Su Jingzhen’s side, it was already a bit late.

Her Golden Core level cultivation couldn’t help at all.

Ye Zhiqiu’s face showed a hint of bitterness.

There were some things she wanted to pursue and tried her best to achieve, but the reality was sometimes quite helpless.

………

The atmosphere around Linjiang City and its vast surroundings seemed to grow heavier with time.

But the master and disciple sitting in the central square remained as calm as before.

As the eastern horizon revealed a hint of dawn, a familiar line of golden characters appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled into a smile.

?Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 9, Luo Yuebai: 15, Tantaidam Xuening: 12?

?Remaining Available Points: 414?

While he was happily collecting the fixed points, Shen Yifeng beside him suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze shifted to the entrance of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

His aura sharpened as well.

Su Jingzhen felt a chill as he sensed that murderous aura.

Even though he was a Spiritual Cultivator at the Condensing Divine Consciousness level, his divine consciousness might not yet be equal to Shen Yifeng’s.

What Shen Yifeng could see, he might not be able to see.

“Master, have they finally arrived?”

Seeing Shen Yifeng’s aura, Su Jingzhen asked.

Shen Yifeng nodded, “Those guys finally couldn’t hold back.

I wonder what power they’ve brought with them.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of excitement in Shen Yifeng’s tone.

Su Jingzhen was also excited.

As soon as Shen Yifeng finished speaking, Su Jingzhen also felt over a hundred powerful auras approaching from the entrance.

Then he saw beams of light appear above the central square.

The lights stopped, revealing nearly thirty people walking in the air.

All of them were Soul Formation level cultivators, and the three leading figures had even stronger auras, clearly reaching the Divine Intent Realm.

Behind them, there were over a hundred people flying on their weapons.

All of these people had auras of Nascent Soul mid-stage and above.

Such an array was extremely luxurious in the Qingzhou region.

No single top force could gather them.

Even the whole of Qingzhou couldn’t do it, this was the combined strength of several regions.

Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness spread out, and he found that in addition to the over a hundred martial artists in front of him, countless Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators had surrounded the entire Linjiang branch.

Many of them were heading toward Clear Wind Mountain.

“I never thought that such a small Linjiang branch would become the focal point of so many top forces.

And all of this was initiated by me, Su Jingzhen. What an honor.”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his face showing no panic, only excitement.

Earlier, Su Jingzhen had planned to ask Bai Suzhen for help if things went wrong.

With Bai Suzhen’s strength, she could probably sweep those people away with a few blows.

However, after getting a rough idea of Shen Yifeng’s combat power, he knew that just the two of them could perform a miracle today.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the three leading Divine Intent Realm cultivators.

“Dongxuan Academy…

I didn’t expect this overarching holy land of Huangzhou to take the lead this time.”
