Chapter 227: Nine Nether Tree Realm (1/2)

The situation now was similar to the situation of the Benevolent Travel Temple. However, the roles were completely opposite.

Under the surprise attack of Jiang Li and the other elite cultivators, the lives of a large number of low-level disciples of the Hundred Tempering Mountain were harvested like grass.

Some Core Formation cultivators could still resist stubbornly, but the situation was not optimistic. Only by relying on poisonous pills, medicine men, and explosive medicinal pills could they occasionally turn the tables.

However, as the warships in the sky arrived one after another, the Spirit Cannons continuously bombarded the ground, destroying the threatening buildings and restraining the Golden Core cultivators.

A large number of main cultivators jumped down from the flying ship and joined the battle. They began to continuously advance.

Under the circumstances of the three sects joining forces, the number of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators was greater than the other party's. Their strength was completely enough to crush the other party.

Under such circumstances, even if everyone took pills, it would be useless! In a short period of time, there were a lot of casualties.

However, during this period of defeat, despite the Hundred Tempering Mountain cultivators bitterly enduring the attacks, they did not receive the powerful support of the sect. Instead, another wave of even more enemies showed up.

As the volcano erupted, the hundreds of artifacts flickering with dazzling spiritual light spewed out as if they were free and randomly landed in various places of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

Every bit of spiritual light was worth at least hundreds or thousands of spirit stones.

As the saying went, artifacts without an owner were meant for those who found them.

The rogue cultivators and cultivators from the small sects who were originally watching could not hold back anymore and rushed forward crazily!

They shouted that they would eliminate the demons and defend righteousness. Under the banner of the justice of the Heavenly Dao, they began to attack the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

After all, to a large number of rogue cultivators, they had never touched a real artifact in their lives.

The scene of artifacts flying everywhere was something they could not resist at all. It was possible that if they casually picked one up, their fate would directly change.

In this kind of sect war, it was also a good time to make a killing. Any legacy of a Hundred Tempering Mountain disciple could make them rich in one go.

In the beginning, some rational or timid cultivators maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

However, when they saw with their own eyes that a cultivator had already picked up an artifact and successfully left the battlefield, greed completely suppressed rationality and fear.

A large number of rogue cultivators and disciples of low-level sects surged into the battlefield, causing the entire battlefield to begin to become chaotic.

From the looks of it, they seemed to have boosted the momentum of the three sects' alliance army and caused considerable casualties to the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

However, the cultivators of the Hundred Tempering Mountain did not want to see them, and the cultivators of the three major sects did not want to see them interrupting either.

There were good and bad mixed together rogue cultivators with extremely low quality and without any cooperation, and they similarly caused quite a bit of trouble for Jiang Li and the others.

It was as if a large number of ragtag soldiers had suddenly been mixed into a well-trained regular army.

They did not run around in an orderly manner and would interfere with the cooperation of the regular army, causing their combat strength to decrease.

At this moment, the volcano erupted again, causing a large number of rogue cultivators to be even more agitated. There were even rogue cultivators who did not care that this was a battlefield and directly started to attack and seize artifacts.

Jiang Li looked at the battlefield that quickly became chaotic, and then he looked at the volcano that had spat out a large amount of artifacts twice.

He did not believe at all that this was a natural phenomenon of the Hundred Tempering Mountain. Someone must have deliberately done this, and their goal was very obvious. It was to attract this group of short-sighted rogue cultivators to enter.

However, why did the Hundred Tempering Mountain specially use so many artifacts to attract more cultivators to attack their sect?

Something was amiss. There must be something he did not know yet.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the battlefield, a few medicine men suddenly self-destructed. Terrifying poisonous qi spread out wantonly, instantly poisoning a large number of rogue cultivators.

These medicine men hidden among the ordinary disciples were indeed very vicious and dangerous. They were all emotionless humanoid bombs. As long as they could cause enough damage, they would not even mind self-destructing among their own people.

The three great sects had long known about the information about the medicine man and were prepared in advance. Although it was still very easy to cause casualties, they still had methods to deal with it.

However, low-level rogue cultivators who generally did not even have protective artifacts could die when they encountered such a poison.

After they joined the battlefield, the number of deaths began to rise exponentially. Countless deaths and injuries formed rivers of blood…

Wait, was there too little blood flowing out?

Only then did Jiang Li suddenly notice that after these cultivators died, their blood flowed out and practically seeped down the moment it touched the ground. The speed was extremely swift with almost no pause.

How was this soil? Even blood in the desert could not penetrate the sand so quickly.

He poured the Nine Nether spiritual qi into his eyes again. When he looked again, he discovered that most of the dead cultivators no longer had souls.

Another rogue cultivator fell to the ground. Jiang Li stared fixedly at him and noticed that as soon as that person breathed his last, his soul had just left his body when it was captured by some force from the ground and was pulled into the ground without any ability to resist.

...

”Big Brother Qiao, why are we here instead of snatching artifacts?”

In the chaotic Hundred Tempering Mountain, a few rogue cultivators cleverly left the bloody battlefield and were carefully fleeing in one direction.

”What do you know? How many lives do you have to snatch hundreds of artifacts in a chaotic battle between tens of thousands of cultivators?”

”Use your brain. It's definitely right to follow your Big Brother Qiao.”

They passed through many dilapidated buildings and were a little disappointed when they saw the two empty treasure vaults.

However, they quickly discovered a large rolling green plant in front of them. On that plant stood hundreds of sect cultivators with powerful auras. It was the assault team from the Scripture Storage Valley.

They did not dare to approach too close. They found a corner not far away and stopped to wait quietly. Near them, there were also some rogue cultivators who had come here before them. It seemed that they had the same idea.

”Look, those sect cultivators are not stupid. If we follow them, we will definitely be able to find the true benefits. This is the Hundred Tempering Mountain's Spiritual Medicine Garden and raw materials warehouse. There are many good things inside.”

”Remember, when they open the door of the warehouse, we'll rush in. Don't stop for a moment and fill the bags before leaving!”

That rogue cultivator surnamed Qiao had once worked in the Hundred Tempering Mountain's mine and was fortunate enough to come to the Hundred Tempering Mountain to deliver ores. Therefore, he still remembered where their warehouse was.

He did not expect that today, he would have the chance to snatch it from the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

”Big Brother Qiao, those are the disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley. Are we really going? They won't attack us, right?”

The rogue cultivator following him was still a little worried, but this ”Brother Qiao” did not mind at all.

”What's there to be afraid of? They're a righteous sect. We're not their enemies, and we're also here to help them. We have a share of the credit for breaking through the Hundred Tempering Mountain, so we can naturally have a share.”

”The door is open. Let's go!”

As soon as the door opened, the rogue cultivators rushed out as quickly as they could.

They were afraid that if they were late, all the good things would be snatched away.

However, at the next moment, a dark green light enveloped them.

Calling rogue cultivators a ragtag army was already praising them. They were more like a group of bandits who only wanted to rob and run. They only cared about the benefits in front of them and did not have any morals.

After Jiang Li and the other disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley discovered that the medicinal pill treasure vault and artifact treasure vault had been emptied in advance, they did not give up.

Instead, he decisively took a step back and stood in the Hundred Tempering Mountain's herb garden, spiritual material storehouse, and spirit mine storehouse.
