    Chapter 454

    Outside Moonwatch Valley, disciples from the eighteen allied immortal sects had already formed countless four-man squads.

    They were scattered across the surrounding mountains, completely encircling the valley.

    Like a tightening noose.

    Everyone waited quietly for the order to charge into Moonwatch Valley and seize the immense wealth hidden within.

    Meanwhile, representatives of the eighteen sects gathered inside a temporary hall several dozen kilometers away.

    Rather than discussing how to attack...

    They were discussing how to divide the spoils afterward.

    Each person wore an expression of calm detachment, looking every bit like an enlightened immortal untouched by worldly desires.

    To an outsider, they appeared dignified beyond compare.

    In reality...

    Every one of them was calculating profits.

    The division of benefits should have been settled long ago.

    Yet the closer the battle approached, the more suspicious everyone became.

    Had someone manipulated them?

    Was there another hidden agenda?

    Were they merely being used as expendable pawns?

    The closer victory seemed...

    The more uneasy they became.

    The lives of ordinary disciples meant little.

    But if they themselves fell into a trap...

    Nothing else mattered.

    Ling Xuan, Sect Master of the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peak and the primary organizer of this alliance, immediately sensed the growing unease.

    Ever since Shan Huan of the Liuxing Huajin Gate had subtly raised doubts earlier, suspicion had quietly spread throughout the coalition.

    Ling Xuan sighed inwardly.

    "Every one of these people believes they're clever.

    Yet they're nothing but a pile of loose sand.

    If this continues, we'll collapse before the battle even begins.

    The eighteen-sect alliance will become the greatest joke in the cultivation world."

    Determined to stabilize everyone's resolve, he convened another meeting.

    Looking around at the dozen or so influential figures seated before him, Ling Xuan smiled calmly.

    "I've gathered everyone for one simple reason."

    "I wish to repeat my position."

    "My Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peak wants only one hundred thousand spirit stones from Moonwatch Valley."

    "Nothing more."

    "If the sect doesn't possess that many..."

    "We'll simply accept the loss."

    He slowly swept his gaze across the room.

    "As for everything else..."

    "We'll divide it according to our previous agreement."

    "Each sect takes only what belongs to them."

    "No one is to covet another's share."

    "If anyone violates this agreement..."

    "The other seventeen sects will judge them together."

    "The fate awaiting Moonwatch Valley today..."

    "...will become their own tomorrow."

    He paused briefly before continuing.

    "Any remaining spoils shall be divided afterward."

    "The sect that first breaks through the mountain gate and reaches the central peak will receive thirty percent."

    "The remaining seventy percent..."

    "I, Ling Xuan, will personally oversee its distribution."

    Silence filled the hall.

    Ling Xuan looked at every face before him.

    All of them wore the appearance of lofty immortals.

    Yet beneath those expressions...

    Every one of them harbored countless selfish calculations.

    He found them utterly contemptible.

    Ling Xuan continued,

    "I hope everyone understands something."

    "The arrow has already been placed upon the bowstring."

    "It must be released."

    "If we retreat now..."

    "The entire cultivation world will laugh at us."

    "My Sanhe Peak cannot afford such humiliation."

    The moment those words left his mouth, nearly everyone's expression stiffened.

    Inside, they cursed him furiously.

    "Shameless.

    Utterly shameless.

    How can someone be this shameless?"

    Ling Xuan remained perfectly composed.

    He genuinely looked down upon everyone present.

    Compared with the grand ambitions in his own heart...

    These people wasted every day calculating tiny personal gains.

    How pitiful.

    When he spoke of preserving face...

    He meant preserving the dignity and resolve of a great sect.

    Whether others considered his own methods shameless meant absolutely nothing to him.

    At that moment, someone chuckled softly.

    It was Shi Jian of the Triple Phoenix Pavilion.

    "I trust Sect Master Ling."

    He smiled strangely.

    "What I don't trust..."

    "...are certain rather filthy individuals under Sanhe Peak."

    Immediately someone stood up angrily.

    "What exactly are you implying?"

    "Are you saying everyone from Triple Phoenix Pavilion is spotless?"

    "If so, perhaps all seventeen sects should inspect your sect personally."

    Someone else laughed.

    "Excellent suggestion."

    Shi Jian merely snorted coldly and said nothing further.

    The hall instantly erupted into noisy arguments.

    Ling Xuan rubbed his forehead.

    "Hopeless.

    Absolutely hopeless.

    Not one of them is capable of accomplishing anything."

    Fortunately...

    His true objective had already been achieved.

    At the very least, no one was talking about withdrawing anymore.

    As long as Moonwatch Valley fell...

    As long as Sanhe Peak recovered its spirit stones...

    Everything else was secondary.

    Just as the argument showed signs of escalating further, a calm voice interrupted everyone.

    "Have you all decided how we're attacking the mountain?"

    The hall immediately fell silent.

    Everyone turned toward the speaker.

    It was Shan Huan of the Liuxing Huajin Gate.

    His long face remained expressionless beneath his neatly tied high ponytail.

    Ling Xuan nodded inwardly.

    "Shan Huan understands priorities.

    This is how a Unity cultivator should behave."

    Shan Huan slowly looked down at his own hand.

    He extended it before everyone.

    "The mountain should first be attacked psychologically."

    "If the disciples of Moonwatch Valley lose the will to resist..."

    "Taking the sect afterward will be easy."

    Someone immediately asked,

    "What exactly do you have in mind?"

    Shan Huan raised his palm.

    "My hand represents Moonwatch Valley."

    "My five fingers represent the five major sections of their mountain formation."

    He curled four fingers inward, leaving only his thumb extended.

    "If we attack only this thumb..."

    "What do you think the thumb will feel?"

    Ling Xuan answered immediately.

    "It'll feel abandoned."

    "It'll begin considering retreat."

    Shan Huan nodded.

    "Exactly."

    "If the remaining fingers ignore it..."

    "We continue concentrating our attacks there until we discover a weakness."

    "Then we break through."

    He paused.

    "Of course..."

    "That outcome is unlikely."

    Someone asked,

    "What if the other sections send reinforcements?"

    A faint smile appeared on Shan Huan's lips.

    "Then their defenses elsewhere naturally weaken."

    "At that moment..."

    "The remaining seventeen sects launch a full assault."

    "The battle will end very quickly."

    Another elder asked,

    "Who leads the initial assault?"

    "And how do we know when to begin the full attack?"

    Shan Huan replied calmly,

    "Besides our eighteen sects..."

    "There are more than ten affiliated sects accompanying us."

    "Promise each of them a separate reward."

    "Let them charge first."

    "My Liuxing Huajin Gate will also participate in the vanguard."

    "Otherwise Moonwatch Valley may notice our intentions."

    "As compensation..."

    "My sect voluntarily relinquishes over thirty percent of our own rewards."

    The room immediately grew much friendlier.

    No one objected.

    Why would they?

    Let someone else absorb the initial casualties.

    They would reap the benefits afterward.

    As for the signal...

    Shan Huan looked toward the sky.

    "I possess a technique."

    "When activated..."

    "It will resemble the rising sun."

    "It can be seen from a hundred miles away."

    "When you see that sun..."

    "Launch the full assault."

    No further objections were raised.

    Shan Huan calmly explained the remaining details until every aspect of the offensive had been finalized.

    Ling Xuan laughed loudly.

    "Excellent!"

    "An outstanding plan!"

    "We'll proceed exactly as you've proposed."

    ...

    Three days passed.

    Southwest of Moonwatch Valley...

    More than two thousand cultivators gathered atop a mountain peak.

    They hovered densely in the sky like an enormous swarm of hornets.

    Restless.

    Ready to strike at any moment.

    This force consisted of disciples from Liuxing Huajin Gate together with more than ten affiliated sects.

    There were over a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators.

    Nearly a thousand Golden Core cultivators.

    Almost a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators.

    Together they formed over five hundred four-man squads.

    They would become the spearhead of the invasion.

    Shan Huan stood quietly atop the highest peak, looking toward the endless sea of mist surrounding Moonwatch Valley.

    "Is everything prepared?"

    A grey-robed Nascent Soul elder behind him bowed respectfully.

    "Everything has been arranged, Sect Master."

    Shan Huan nodded.

    "Very well."

    "Begin the attack."

    The elder bowed once more before departing.

    Moments later...

    A deep horn echoed through the mountains.

    "Wooooo—"

    "Wooooo—"

    "Wooooo—"

    The countless cultivators immediately surged into motion.

    Like a tidal wave.

    Like a great swarm of locusts.

    They charged toward the endless mist of Moonwatch Valley with overwhelming momentum.

    The wind roared around them.

    The sight alone was enough to shake one's heart.

    Yet among the advancing army...

    Only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators entered the mist.

    The Nascent Soul cultivators remained behind, quietly observing from afar.

    None of them intended to expose themselves so early.

    One after another...

    More than two thousand cultivators disappeared into the dense white mist.

    Like countless raindrops falling into the sea.

    Not even the slightest ripple appeared.

    The truly brutal battle...

    Had already begun inside the formation.

    ...

    "They're here."

    Su Hao's expression became serious.

    His Spiritual Consciousness sensed a massive number of cultivators entering the Eight-Ring Mountain Mist Formation.

    Fortunately...

    They weren't approaching his sector.

    He quickly identified the direction.

    "That's... Yashan's position."

    Only a short while later, a message arrived.

    Yashan's voice sounded unusually anxious.

    "Boss Wei!"

    "This is bad!"

    "They just keep coming!"

    "Wave after wave!"

    "We can't hold them off anymore!"

    Su Hao: "..."
