    Chapter 455

    At this moment, Yashan was only at the Qi Induction Realm.

    There was no need for someone at his level to risk his life on the front lines. His role was simply to follow the elders, assist where he could, and take care of miscellaneous tasks.

    However, the sheer number of enemies pouring into the formation far exceeded everyone's expectations.

    Originally, they believed the mountain-protecting formation would continuously separate the invaders, sending them in one after another so they could be eliminated individually.

    Reality proved otherwise.

    Before they could finish off one enemy, another would emerge from the mist.

    Sometimes, just after killing one opponent and before anyone could even catch their breath, another would arrive.

    Toward the end, two or even three enemies appeared simultaneously.

    If this continued, it would soon become impossible to eliminate each opponent the moment they entered.

    More and more enemies would accumulate until the defenders themselves became the ones surrounded.

    Killing invaders instantly was far easier said than done.

    If the one entering was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the team's Golden Core cultivator could deal with them quickly.

    But when a Golden Core cultivator appeared, they could only rely on the terrain and the formation to slowly wear the opponent down.

    They had expected to outnumber isolated enemies.

    Instead...

    They found themselves outnumbered from the very beginning.

    ...

    Yashan's squad, Moon Three-Nine, was currently locked in battle with a Golden Core cultivator.

    His master—the squad's only Golden Core cultivator—used the concealment of the mist formation to maneuver around the enemy, searching for an opportunity to finish him off.

    At that moment, the mist ahead surged violently.

    Another cultivator stepped out.

    He had a long, thin face.

    The entire squad tensed instantly.

    Fortunately...

    After taking a closer look, they realized he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

    Everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

    The team's two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately moved forward to intercept him.

    Magical artifacts flew through the air.

    Spiritual light flashed repeatedly.

    The surrounding mist churned violently.

    ...

    Yashan remained hidden nearby.

    He was wondering whether he should seize the opportunity for a sneak attack when the mist surged once again.

    Another cultivator stepped out.

    This one was tall and heavily built.

    Thick armor covered his entire body.

    His hands were already forming seals, prepared to cast a spell the instant he entered combat.

    The moment he saw his companion fighting, he immediately summoned his artifact and rushed forward.

    Yashan had been waiting precisely for this opportunity.

    His fingers formed a seal.

    A silver flying shuttle quietly floated beside him.

    Without hesitation...

    He flicked his fingers.

    Swish!

    Pop!

    The silver shuttle became a streak of light.

    The heavily armored cultivator's multiple defensive barriers shattered instantly.

    A fist-sized hole exploded through the center of his chest.

    His heart was pierced clean through.

    The heart was the core of a cultivator's spiritual power.

    Once destroyed, all spiritual power inside the body immediately descended into chaos.

    For roughly five seconds, the cultivator became completely unable to cast techniques.

    After that...

    Only death remained.

    The moment the enemy's shield collapsed, Yashan immediately followed up.

    "Silver Moon Spear!"

    A silver spear shot forward.

    Crack!

    The cultivator's neck exploded.

    His head flew through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

    ...

    Yashan's master...

    His martial uncle...

    Both stared blankly at him.

    Then at the tiny silver shuttle floating beside him.

    Their minds were completely blank.

    What kind of artifact is that?

    Such terrifying defensive barriers...

    Broken with a single strike?

    The thin-faced cultivator was even more horrified.

    He instinctively retreated several steps.

    He had finally realized...

    This seemingly insignificant Qi Induction disciple was the most dangerous person present.

    Just then...

    The mist rolled once more.

    Another cultivator entered.

    The powerful spiritual fluctuations radiating from him instantly made everyone's hearts sink.

    Golden Core Realm.

    The thin-faced cultivator's face immediately lit up with joy.

    Yashan's master and martial uncle instinctively looked toward their own Golden Core cultivator, who was still engaged elsewhere.

    Both thought exactly the same thing.

    "We're finished..."

    Seeing this, Yashan knew he could no longer rely on anyone else.

    He acted immediately.

    His fingers formed another seal.

    The silver shuttle shot forward once again.

    Swish!

    Bang!

    The newly arrived Golden Core cultivator had been full of confidence.

    That confidence froze instantly.

    His protective barriers exploded apart under the silver shuttle.

    Instinctively, he used a movement technique and narrowly dodged.

    Slash!

    His left arm flew into the air.

    Before he could recover...

    A second silver shuttle appeared behind him.

    The Golden Core cultivator's pupils shrank violently.

    He immediately activated another movement technique.

    His figure flashed sideways.

    Unfortunately...

    He had overlooked the first flying shuttle.

    It had already circled behind him.

    It was waiting exactly where he reappeared.

    Slash!

    His head flew into the air.

    His expression remained frozen in disbelief.

    His headless body staggered twice before collapsing heavily onto the ground.

    Bang!

    The dull sound echoed through everyone's hearts.

    Silence fell.

    Everyone looked toward the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Qi Induction disciple standing calmly nearby.

    His fingers remained joined together.

    His expression never changed.

    For a moment...

    Reality itself seemed absurd.

    Was that really a Golden Core cultivator?

    ...

    The thin-faced cultivator's expression became deathly pale.

    Unfortunately...

    There was no time to marvel.

    No time to wonder how a Qi Induction disciple could slaughter Golden Core cultivators.

    No time to question the terrifying power of that silver shuttle.

    The mist surged again.

    Two more enemies stepped out.

    One Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    One Golden Core cultivator.

    The thin-faced cultivator nearly burst into tears from excitement.

    Yashan's teammates nearly burst into tears from despair.

    "Why are there so many of them?!"

    ...

    Swish!

    Slash!

    Bang!

    Ahhh!

    After experiencing confusion...

    Relief...

    Hope...

    Despair...

    Hope again...

    And finally utter hopelessness...

    The thin-faced cultivator completely lost his composure.

    He immediately sent a transmission.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Damn it..."

    "Help!!"

    ...

    After hearing Yashan explain the situation, Su Hao immediately understood what the enemy was trying to do.

    "They're concentrating all their forces at one point."

    "Not a bad strategy."

    "Break through a single section of the formation first."

    "If Moonwatch Valley fails to reinforce that position quickly, the mountain-protecting formation will soon collapse."

    He couldn't help shaking his head.

    "Yashan's luck really is terrible."

    "The formation covers such a vast area..."

    "Yet he just happened to be stationed at the enemy's main assault point."

    After thinking briefly, Su Hao replied,

    "Your first priority is staying alive."

    "If reinforcements don't arrive within one minute..."

    "Retreat immediately."

    ...

    Fortunately...

    The elders of Moonwatch Valley were not incompetent.

    After discovering the enemy's intentions, they immediately altered the mountain-protecting formation.

    The stream of invaders entering from the southwest was diverted toward both sides, easing the pressure somewhat.

    Reserve squads were rushed over.

    Defenders from neighboring sectors were also transferred to reinforce the southwest.

    Even so...

    Moonwatch Valley had only a little over a thousand disciples altogether.

    Even counting Qi Induction cultivators.

    There was simply no way to make up such an overwhelming numerical disadvantage.

    The reinforcements were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

    Just as the southwestern defense was nearing collapse...

    The Nascent Soul elders finally made their move.

    More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators began rapidly moving throughout the battlefield.

    Everywhere they passed...

    Enemy cultivators fell in large numbers.

    Only then did the defenders finally catch their breath.

    ...

    Within less than half an hour...

    The battlefield had become a sea of corpses.

    Moonwatch Valley had suffered casualties.

    But the invaders had lost far more.

    Most of the enemy dead had not fallen to the four-man squads guarding the formation nodes.

    Instead...

    They had been harvested almost single-handedly by Moonwatch Valley's Nascent Soul cultivators.

    ...

    Soon afterward...

    Someone searched the corpse of an enemy cultivator and found a mission scroll.

    After opening it, only one sentence was written inside.

    Kill every cultivator of Moonwatch Valley. Leave no survivors.

    The disciple who found it immediately reported the matter.

    The elders quickly ordered every battlefield to collect similar scrolls.

    Very soon...

    More and more identical mission scrolls were discovered.

    The news spread throughout Moonwatch Valley.

    Every disciple finally understood one undeniable truth.

    If the mountain gate fell...

    No one would survive.

    There would be no surrender.

    No prisoners.

    No mercy.

    Only death.

    The final trace of hope inside everyone's hearts disappeared.

    There was only one choice left.

    Fight to the death.

    ...

    Su Hao looked quietly at the scroll in his hand.

    He fell into thought.

    "What purpose does revealing this serve?"

    A moment later, he sighed softly.

    "Seeing the Sect Master's confidence before, I thought Moonwatch Valley truly possessed the strength to repel the invasion."

    "Looks like I underestimated the enemy."

    "This isn't merely an attack."

    "They're trying to erase Moonwatch Valley from the cultivation world altogether."

    He silently calculated the strength currently at his disposal.

    Then compared it against that of Unity Realm cultivators.

    "Against ordinary Unity cultivators..."

    "There shouldn't be much danger anymore."

    "If necessary, I'll simply identify every Unity cultivator on the enemy side and drive them away."

    "Of course..."

    "Doing so will expose my identity completely."

    "Moonwatch Valley won't be able to shelter me afterward."

    He wasn't particularly concerned.

    He had already obtained nearly everything he wanted from the sect.

    Leaving now would not be much of a loss.

    Since they insisted the Crystal Thief was hiding inside Moonwatch Valley...

    Then let them believe it.

    Because this time...

    They had guessed correctly.

    "The Crystal Thief really is inside Moonwatch Valley."

    "So what?"

    ...

    Far away...

    A Nascent Soul cultivator landed silently behind Shan Huan.

    "The items have all been delivered."

    "The disciples of Moonwatch Valley have received them."

    Shan Huan nodded slowly.

    "Very good."

    "Give them a quarter of an hour."

    "After that..."

    "Send the signal."

    "The final assault begins."

    "Understood."

    The Nascent Soul cultivator bowed and departed.

    Shan Huan stood alone atop the mountain, allowing the fierce wind to whip against his robes.

    He smiled faintly.

    "This is only the first move."

    "I hope Moonwatch Valley gives me a pleasant surprise."

    If this failed to force Moonwatch Valley into a desperate last stand—thereby consuming most of the eighteen sects' strength—

    He still had a second move waiting.

    One prepared especially for the moment the mountain gate finally fell.

    Shan Huan chuckled quietly.

    "Bandits risk their lives capturing a fortress..."

    "Only to discover the spoils aren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."

    "And then..."

    "They suddenly discover an incomparable treasure."

    "For that treasure..."

    "They turn on one another."

    "Isn't that the oldest story in the world?"

    "Heh..."

    Such stories endured for one simple reason.

    Because they always worked.

    Nothing tempted the human heart more effectively...

    Than greed.

    After experiencing confusion, extreme joy, despair, resurgence of hope, and feeling as if all hope was lost, the thin-faced cultivator couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately turned to Su Hao for help: “Damn! Boss Wei…”
