Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 328's. Invasion (3)
The Nine Skulls Valley Great Elder nodded respectfully and flew over, then returned a moment later to report, "Leader, we have lost six Elders, more than five hundred disciples of the God Hermit Realm and one million hundred thousand disciples of the Sacred Hermit realm had died.”
Hearing the Great Elder's report, the muscles on Jiu Yang's face twitched.
For a battle that lasted no more than a few breaths of time, the Valley of the Nine Skulls had actually lost so many disciples.
Presumably, the expressions of Xie Dan from the Star God Sect and the others were worse than the Nine Skull Valley Leader. Compared to the Valley of the Nine Skulls, the casualties they could infinitely exceed the Valley of the Nine Skulls.
The nine great powers alliance lost close to a hundred God Hermit Realm experts, roughly ten thousand God Austerity disciples and the rest one million Saint realm disciples.
“Zhang En, I swear I will destroy the Dragon Gate Sect or my family name is not Xie anymore!” When Xie Dan was told that eleven Star God Sect Elders died in the ambush just now, uncontrollable anger erupted in his heart, his eyes turning crimson.
“Young Master, are we going to continue the journey or..?” An Elder of the Star God Sect asked carefully.
Previously, these nine great power Sects had agreed to ally together to annihilate the Dragon Gate Sect solely that they thought that Zhang En was still in the Wind Eye Continent.
But now, Zhang En had returned. Moreover, he came back by bringing all the cultivators from the Wind Eye Continent with him.
"Should we continue with our plan?"Ask the other elders.
Xie Dan's palm flew across the talking Elder's face after hearing his words, sending the Elder tumbling in the air as he shouted, "A few days ago, it was the same, aren't you the one who said that Zhang En is still in the Wind Eye Continent? Why, why did he even appear here now!”
The group of Elders of the Star God Sect were silent like crickets like they were in cold weather.
Half an hour later, several thousand meters away from the valley, above the low mountains, a spatial ripple circle spread throughout the mountain area followed by the appearance of Zhang En and the many Wind Eye Continent experts.
“Young Ruler, what's our next move?” Tiger Tribe Patriarch Hu Fan stepped forward and asked.
Zhang En scanned the mountains below and his mouth raised a cold grin, "We will rest here and wait for our prey to come back to us!"
Zhang En believed that the alliance of the nine powers would not be willing to retreat just like that, especially when his ambush killed so many people.
Thus, Zhang En and the experts of the Wind Eye Continent swallowed a healing pill and sat down to readjust their conditions while lying in wait for the great army of the nine great power alliance.
As he had expected, five hours later, the alliance troops re-entered the mountains where Zhang En was waiting. He and the Wind Eye Continent experts fused their breaths, preparing to launch another ambush.
Just like the ambush earlier, after a dozen breaths of attack, Zhang En once again called out the word retreat.
With the Gold God Mountain residing in his body, even a half-step God Emperor expert like Jiu Yang could not stop Zhang En from leaving.
In that one day, the alliance of the nine great powers suffered nine ambushes from Zhang En, and despite being on high alert and alert, the, they lost four hundred God Realm and Heavenly God Realm experts from Zhang En's ambush and the attack of the Wind Eye Continent.
They had also lost eighty thousand more high-level Holy Hermit disciples and ten million medium-sized Holy Hermit disciples.
In just a day, the initial spirit of this alliance army turned into fear, their morale also decreased.
"The Blue Cloud Sect withdrew from the alliance!" The Blue Cloud Sect's patriarch, Song Kun, part of the alliance of the nine powers that had already joined, was completely terrified by Zhang En's killing rate and had finally announced his intention to retreat and exit the alliance.
"What, back off the alliance?" Xie Dan's expression sank upon hearing Song Kun's words from the Blue Cloud Sect saying that he wanted to withdraw from the alliance.
"The Sect of the Burning Sword also wants to withdraw from the alliance!" Before Xie Dan could receive an answer, Fire Sword Sect Patriarch Yang Jing spoke.
Xie's facial expression worsened.
Whereas the Patriarchs of the other great powers also spoke of their intention to withdraw from the alliance. Now, they clearly understood that even though their alliance of nine great powers had joined forces, their strength was still far from defeating Zhang En.
Zhang En came and went like a ghost, he was undetectable, so they had no way of preventing him from sneaking around and continuously ambushing them.
If this continued, the people they brought would all die from Zhang En's ambush, even before they arrived at the Dragon Gate Sect.
With the Blue Cloud Sect, the Burning Sword Sect and the other Sect announcing their retirement from the alliance, only the Star God Sect, the Valley of the Nine Skulls, announced their retirement, The Mysterious Sect and the White Phoenix Sect that had remained persisted among the alliance.
Xie Dan attempted to suppress the anger in his heart, sneering coldly as he half glared at Song Kun and those who withdrew from the alliance, grinning coldly, “Do you think Zhang En will not kill you now just because we are withdrawing from the alliance?"
Song Kun was not affected by Xie Dabln's ridicule, "Young Master Xie doesn't have to worry about that matter!"
After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand towards the disciples of his sect ordering, "Let's go!" The disciples immediately broke away from the large army and left.
In fact, there was no deep blood grudge between the Blue Cloud Sect and Zhang En, there was a high chance that Zhang En would accept them if they were to submit to him. From Sing Kun's point of view, it would be a much better result than letting Zhang En destroy and kill his disciples.
Seeing this, the Sect Leader of the Sword Bringing Sect, Yang Jing, also quickly led the Sword Sect disciples away from the alliance army. Those who had announced their resignations also followed suit.
Xie Dan watched as the Blue Cloud Sect, the Burning Sword Sect and the others left with killing intent surging in his eyes, feeling the urge to execute these traitors on the spot, and the rest of them left with killing intent soaring in their eyes, but he still tried to hold back.
Because this will only add to his losses and he will not get anything either. It would even benefit Zhang En in the end.
"The Nine Skull Valley also wants to retreat from the alliance." After the five great powers left, Jiu Yang, the Nine Skull Valley Sect Leader spoke.
