Once Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, became serious, he immediately utilized the methods of the Gold Core Daoist Master, displaying a formidable battle prowess.
After attacking for a while, weaknesses in the sect-protecting great formation became evident. Many disciples in the Refining Qi period, who had weaker cultivation bases, were injured and fell to the ground.
Although Fei Jiang Daoist Master couldn't break the great formation in a short time, if they continued , the formation would likely not hold up for much longer.
Managing the great formation, Xiao Haisheng sighed in the center. He realized that the power gap between a Gold Core period cultivator and a Foundation Building period cultivator was significant, and it couldn't be compensated just by relying on sheer numbers.
Xiao Haisheng had been exerting full control over the great formation, and the Foundation Building elders and Refining Qi period disciples were giving it their all to assist. However, it seemed like the great formation wouldn't last as long as they had hoped.
Without waiting for Xiao Haisheng to speak, Xiao Fengyan, who had been observing the entire battle, stepped forward voluntarily.
"Let me go out, even if it costs me my life, I hope I can delay them a bit longer," Xiao Fengyan said.
Xiao Haisheng knew that both he and Xiao Fengyan had underestimated the battle prowess of a Gold Core period Daoist Master. Many of their planned strategies were now useless.
Feeling bitter, Xiao Fengyan thought that as a cultivator who had achieved the fake pill stage, the difference between himself and a true Gold Core cultivator wouldn't be significant. However, witnessing Fei Jiang Daoist Master's strength, he realized that the gap between the two was vast.
Quickly flying above the sect-protecting great formation, Xiao Fengyan faced Fei Jiang Daoist Master from a distance.
"A mere fake pill cultivator, and you dare to show yourself. You're just a card in the hand of Twin Success Valley," Fei Jiang Daoist Master sneered.
In the eyes of a genuine Gold Core Daoist Master, a fake pill cultivator was nothing more than a slightly stronger Foundation Building cultivator and didn't deserve to be compared to a Gold Core cultivator.
Xiao Fengyan didn't say a word but immediately controlled a Third Rank flying sword and charged towards Fei Jiang Daoist Master.
While a fake pill cultivator couldn't fully unleash the power of a Third Rank magic tool, Xiao Fengyan, at the cost of his own life, could skillfully control the flying sword.
"Today, this Daoist Master will show you that a fake pill is always a fake pill and can never become the real thing!" Fei Jiang Daoist Master grinned wickedly and attacked Xiao Fengyan with his sword.
Xiao Fengyan was determined, and with the assistance of the sect-protecting great formation, every time he acted, it was as if he was working in tandem with the formation. Whenever he couldn't withstand an attack, he would retreat into the formation to use its strength to resist.
The battle became intense, with blades clashing and Qi surging, making the situation extremely dangerous.
After a while, Fei Jiang Daoist Master couldn't defeat Xiao Fengyan and was forced into a prolonged battle.
Suddenly, Fei Jiang Daoist Master looked puzzled at the sky. In the distant upper air, innumerable silver rays appeared and fell like drizzling rain from the heavens.
"This Heavenly Rainfall came so early this time, many days ahead of schedule. Luckily, our sect was prepared and constructed the reception tower in advance, preventing any mishaps. My nephew, Mingwei, has also made preparations to break through to the Gold Core stage and seize this opportunity," Fei Jiang Daoist Master murmured to himself.
The silver drizzle falling from the sky was not evenly distributed but seemed to be drawn towards a specific location on the ground, precisely where Flying Swan Sect had recently constructed a tall tower.
However, not all of the silver drizzle fell in that direction; a large part of it unexpectedly descended on the position where Fei Jiang Daoist Master was.
"Strange, why is the Heavenly Rainfall falling here?" Fei Jiang Daoist Master's face showed a puzzled expression, but suddenly he seemed to realize something, and his expression turned to unprecedented rage.
"Damn you, you bunch of petty people from Twin Success Valley! How did you know the secret of the Heavenly Rainfall?"
"You...how dare you..."
Fei Jiang Daoist Master was so furious that he couldn't even speak properly.
The long-hidden huge secret was exposed, and instead of feeling anxious, Xiao Fengyan became calm, letting go of all his fears, worries, and panic.
It had come to the point where it was a life-or-death struggle, and everything would be decided in this battle.
If they succeeded, Shan Feiyu would become the core of Twin Success Valley, and the sect would soar to new heights, with the ability to contend with Flying Swan Sect.
If they failed, they would be left with no place to bury their dead, and the entire Twin Success Valley would be wiped out.
With this realization, Xiao Fengyan fought with newfound confidence, firmly holding back Fei Jiang Daoist Master.
At this crucial moment, Fei Jiang Daoist Master couldn't care less about his Gold Core Daoist Master status.
He took out a pass on message flying sword and input the information he had just learned.
The pass on message flying sword turned into a streak of light and flew towards the direction of Fei Yu Daoist Master, carrying the secret of Twin Success Valley and the message asking for Fei Jiang Daoist Master's assistance.
After sending the pass on message flying sword, Fei Jiang Daoist Master no longer held back. He used all his abilities, vowing to break the sect-protecting great formation below in the shortest time possible.
The battle became even more intense, and the Twin Success Valley cultivators knew there was no turning back, giving it their all.
Meanwhile, Fei Jiang Daoist Master's pass on message flying sword had an exceptionally fast flying speed, even faster than an ordinary Gold Core Daoist Master's. It reached Fei Yu Daoist Master in a remote location.
After reading the information from the pass on message flying sword, Fei Yu Daoist Master's face showed an expression of disbelief followed by extreme anger.
"Twin Success Valley, Twin Success Valley, you're asking for death!"
At this moment, Fei Yu Daoist Master deeply regretted not acting decisively earlier and destroying Twin Success Valley when there were rumors about it. He had let today's disaster happen.
In his heart, he lamented being bound by the identity of a so-called righteous expert for so long, causing him to act timidly and indecisively, losing his proper vigilance.
He realized that it was better to kill 3000 wrongfully than to let one escape, which was the way of life in the cultivation world.
Fei Yu Daoist Master quickly shook off his regrets and reacted promptly to the situation.
As he gave orders, the elite cultivators guarding Flying Swan Sect in the surroundings quickly boarded flying boats and rushed towards Twin Success Valley.
Their orders were to assist Fei Jiang Daoist Master and break Twin Success Valley's sect-protecting great formation as quickly as possible. They were to annihilate the entire Twin Success Valley, leaving no one alive and thoroughly destroying the sect.
