Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 121: Death Battlefield (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"However, the use of Great River Sword Qi consumes too much of one’s spirit."

Li Qian rubbed his temples; even with the continuous ringing in his mind, he could only slightly alleviate the strain.

He had only used the Great River Sword Qi twice in succession.

A third time would definitely be impossible.

This was his limit.

Regrettably, he had not yet grasped the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Sword Intent.

Otherwise, such a Heavenly Phenomenon Level attack could only be considered a standard attack.

"This Martial Arts Army, although commanded by a Heavenly Person, is definitely not too strong. Judging from the aura of battle intention taking form earlier, it is somewhat weaker than the main Martial Arts Army of the rebel forces from Luo King Mansion that attacked Divine Sword Sect last time."

Li Qian began to assess his own strength.

Of course, it also had something to do with this Martial Arts Army not being fully prepared.

However, this also showed that his use of the Great River Sword Qi, against this level of Martial Arts Army, was absolutely a dimensional strike.

"I wonder how I would fare now against the top-tier Martial Arts Army of Ning Prince Mansion, and the ace Martial Arts Army of the Imperial Family..."

He pondered secretly.

Right away, Li Qian found some Divine Refinement Weapons scattered around the brutal scene.

With or without Divine Refinement Weapons, there is a significant difference in the strength displayed by a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster.

"I didn’t expect Divine Refinement Weapons to be destroyed too..."

Li Qian observed the collected pile of Divine Refinement Weapons, some of which were severely damaged.

Thus, he only took the intact ones and stored them into the Black Iron Ring.

Swoosh!

Li Qian soared into the air and flew towards the distance.

It seemed this place would soon turn into a gathering spot for beasts.

As for whether it would be discovered, that was hard to say.

Returning to Divine Sword Sect.

It was already dawn.

Li Qian quietly flew overhead, and with a wave of his hand, a crumpled paper ball was thrown at the entrance of Divine Sword Hall.

The disciple guarding the hall noticed it immediately but did not see anyone.

He hurriedly picked up the paper ball and ran into Divine Sword Hall.

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu had just finished his cultivation and started his administrative work.

"Master, someone suddenly threw something over here, but the disciple didn’t see anyone..."

The disciple hurriedly reported.

He was an innate-level martial artist but did not even see a shadow of the person throwing the object, which puzzled him greatly.

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu took the paper ball and carefully unfurled it, revealing the text on it.

His expression turned serious.

"Quick, call all the Peak Masters and elders here."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu promptly instructed.

"Yes."

The disciple hurried out.

Half an hour later, all the Peak Masters and influential elders within the mountain gate had arrived.

After seeing the content of the paper ball, they all showed shocked expressions.

"Sect Leader, is the content on this paper true?"

Guiyi Peak Master Hou Shuwen asked.

"I don’t know, but if it’s as the paper says, we should have news in a few days. However, we must prepare in advance and send this intelligence to Qi King Mansion, Night King Mansion, and He Family."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu shook his head as he spoke.

This news was extremely significant.

Chen King Mansion had joined the forces of Ning Prince Mansion.

The three ace Martial Arts Armies of the Imperial Family had suffered heavy losses, meaning that Ning Prince Mansion had truly gained momentum. Once they marched westward to attack the counties of Kunwu Road and Taixing Road, these counties wouldn’t be able to withstand the assault.

Especially since they had previously decimated Luo King Mansion’s rebellion, the strength of these two counties had been severely diminished and had far from recovered their primordial qi.

"Ah, it truly is an era fraught with troubles."

Dishui Peak Master Yun Lei sighed.

Subsequently, the crowd began their arrangements.

Since Divine Sword Sect’s territory bordered Chen King Mansion’s Lingyuan Road county, once the Ning Prince Mansion’s troops marched westward, Divine Sword Sect would surely bear the brunt of the attack.

Taiping County was of particular importance.

The segments of Min River and Tianzhi Mountain Range were the best natural barriers against Ning Prince Mansion’s troops.

Of course, it was also possible that Ning Prince Mansion would send troops through Yuzhi Mountain Range to circumvent Taiping County and directly target Divine Sword Sect.

After all, Luo King Mansion had also once sought to breach Divine Sword Sect, aiming to control Taicang Pass to sever the link between Kunwu Road county and Taixing Road county.

Hence, Divine Sword Sect’s Hidden Sword Hall began deploying a large number of disciples to monitor Yuzhi Mountain Range to prevent any rebel forces from passing through.

Additionally, they organized martial forces to urgently fortify the defenses in Taiping County.

With the current strength of Divine Sword Sect, even if the troops of Ning Prince Mansion really swept through, there was simply no way to hold them off.

But it could at least buy a bit of time.

...

After Li Qian returned to Chen Bell Platform, he prepared to properly rest.

Even after striking the Chen Bell, he did not cultivate but chose to nourish his spirit with the bell’s sound.

He had not anticipated that the side effects of deploying the Great River Sword Qi twice would be so severe.
