#600 - Robbery
The Gongsun family clearly had long-term plans when they chose to establish a large city here. The location is ideal for both offense and defense, a strategic position beyond compare.
Even more noteworthy is the formidable natural barrier – the Evil Dragon Clan, entrenched in front, simultaneously controlling the extreme north and the extreme east.
Compared to the harshness of the extreme north, the environment of the extreme east is relatively mild, with the air filled with the fragrance of warmth and sulfur, a unique gift from the volcanoes.
The Evil Dragon Clan's main base echoes the extreme east from afar. Although separated by a hundred thousand miles, this area serves as a war zone with constant battles.
The Gongsun family has invested a great deal of resources, and the experts from the Evil Dragon Clan who have crossed over from another realm are not to be outdone. The two sides are engaged in fierce fighting, with victories and defeats alternating, heavy casualties, and the battle has reached a stalemate.
To cope with this protracted war, the Gongsun family is actively recruiting rogue cultivators as cannon fodder, hoping they can withstand some of the disaster for the family.
The entire Profound Pass Continent is ablaze with war, with only the extreme west able to maintain calm.
Li Chengfeng had just stabilized the situation when the Evil Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan suffered a crushing defeat and heavy losses. At the mere mention of the name "Li Chengfeng", they felt a headache coming on, so they temporarily retreated.
They concentrated their main forces on the Gongsun family in the extreme east, the Murong family in the extreme south, and the Xuan Guang Clan in the central part of the Profound Light Continent.
After arriving here, Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry to seek revenge, but calmly observed the situation.
He knew that it would be difficult to shake a behemoth like the Gongsun family with his own strength alone, and he had to find assistance.
At the same time, he also needed to ensure the stability of the Jidong human territory after destroying the Gongsun family, which was undoubtedly a difficult task.
He stood on the towering mountain peak, his figure almost blending into the void, examining the Gongsun family's base and the Evil Dragon Clan's base in front with a calm gaze.
The Evil Dragon Clan is powerful, with its main force gathered in the extreme east. The warriors go in and out like locusts, but they have not been able to gain any advantage from the Gongsun family, which shows how solid their defenses are.
Li Chengfeng looked at this scene and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that the Evil Dragon Clan was at the end of its rope. His deep gaze penetrated the many obstacles and fell on the Evil Dragon Clan's altar.
The altar was constantly transmitting experts to replenish the losses.
However, as an external force, the Evil Dragon Clan's resources were ultimately limited. Even if they could plunder locally, it would be difficult to compete with the Gongsun family, which had thousands of years of foundation.
At this time, the altar shone brightly, and another batch of cultivators was teleported over, including cannon fodder and various races from the Evil Dragon Realm, such as ghost-faced cultivators.
After Li Chengfeng's initial calculations, he found that the Evil Dragon Clan's strength was slightly better than the Gongsun family's, but the Gongsun family was secretly hiding a mysterious force from the North Sea.
He secretly decided to let the two sides fight to the death, while he would reap the benefits.
Currently, although the two sides have become enemies, the war is relatively restrained and has not caused large-scale conflicts, so the Gongsun family's main force has been preserved.
Li Chengfeng did not rush to intervene, but instead wandered between the Gongsun family and the Evil Dragon Clan's camps for several months, cleverly hiding his tracks using the Dust of History.
Even if he openly appeared in front of the other party, they would hardly notice.
Especially after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the concealment effect of the Dust of History has been significantly improved, and even a half-step God Transformation powerhouse would find it difficult to detect his traces.
Li Chengfeng believed that simply defeating the Gongsun family would be too easy for them. He vowed to make the Gongsun family pay a heavy price, and at the same time let the North Sea understand that there would be no good end for offending him.
He was determined to follow the clues and find out the real power behind the North Sea, and completely eradicate it.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation resources he needed were even more enormous. Only through war and plunder could he quickly improve his cultivation.
Although Li Chengfeng was not a bloodthirsty person, if anyone dared to attack him, he would not sit idly by and would repay them a hundredfold.
This action against the Gongsun family was not only his personal revenge, but also a declaration to the great forces of the world: Li Chengfeng was no longer the one who could be bullied and live in anonymity. Now he had both the qualifications and the ability to seek justice for himself.
Li Chengfeng tapped lightly on his face, and a mask carved with strange totems quietly covered his face, not only to hide his identity, but also to add a bit of mysterious and unpredictable aura.
The black robe, like wings of the night, rustled as his figure moved slightly, as if dancing with the wind, foreshadowing an unknown stealth operation was about to begin.
Without relying on the legendary Wings of Space, with just a single Step of Life and Death, he had already stepped into the ultimate realm of speed. Between his footsteps, the space seemed to be folded by an invisible hand, shrinking the distance to inches, covering thousands of miles in an instant.
The battlefield between the Evil Dragon Clan and the Gongsun family spanned the boundless ancient land, hundreds of thousands of miles away, covered with strange landforms eroded by the years.
Here, is the point of contention between the two clans' forces. The wisdom of the array masters and the compassion of the healers are intertwined on this scorched earth, forming a tragic picture.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were like torches, piercing through the heavy fog, locking onto the huge team led by the core disciples of the Gongsun family in front.
They were slowly moving towards Yin Yang City. Leading the way was a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, followed by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, looking hurried, as if carrying an unspeakable important task.
Gongsun Haining, the Grand Elder of the Gongsun family, whose strength was unfathomable. Li Chengfeng had already discerned his identity from the subtle details of his aura and clothing.
The solemn atmosphere revealed by the team indicated that the treasure being escorted this time was extraordinary and invaluable.
Seeing this scene, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengfeng's mouth, and an undercurrent seemed to surge within his body. An indescribable evil aura suddenly erupted, staining the surrounding air with a bit of gloom.
The black robe and cloak danced wildly in the wind. He stretched out his figure and disappeared from the spot like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was standing above the Gongsun family's team.
With a soft whistle, nineteen long swords shot out from his sleeves, piercing the sky. The sword cries were sharp, intertwined with each other, weaving into a strange and huge sword array.
The sword light flickered, the sword threads were like weaving, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and like the darkest traps in the depths of the netherworld, making people feel awe.
When the Gongsun family members saw this, their expressions changed. The pressure brought by this sudden sword array almost suffocated them.
The fact that the other party could lay down such an exquisite sword array with a wave of his hand showed his strength and his deep understanding of the art of array.
What shocked them even more was, when did such a swordsman with superb swordsmanship appear in the Evil Dragon Clan?
You must know that the Evil Dragon Clan is known for its strength, and is good at attacking with great power, either showing its body or using heavy hammers and long spears, while swordsmen are almost unheard of in the Evil Dragon Clan.
This scene undoubtedly cast a shocking stone on the calm battlefield, stirring up layers of ripples, and also making everyone begin to re-examine this mysterious visitor wearing a mask and a black robe.
