Chapter 237: Great Mountain Alliance

The Soul Formation cultivator of the Mu family did not hold back in the slightest as he grabbed at Jiang Li’s Qi Sea.

An irresistible force assaulted him. The sudden killing intent made his entire body tense and his mind tremble.

He could only use the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to tightly wrap his vital points and prevent himself from being killed in one strike.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a sword light instantly arrived. The entire stone platform was silently split into two as if it was made of tofu.

It was an ancient fire attribute Shu Mountain Flying Sword. Its name was Crimson Firmament, the life-bound flying sword of the current Sword Head of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak!

The sneak attack claw was forced back by the sword.

If he did not stop, his arm would have been cut off.

“Mu family, are you bullying us because you think there’s no one left in the Great Mountain Region?! You actually dare to commit murder on the spot!”

The actions of the Mu family’s elder angered the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

More than 20 Soul Formation cultivators present suddenly erupted with their auras. A pressure that covered the sky and earth surged behind Jiang Li, directly crushing half of the venue opposite him into powder.

“Wait! That disciple has already been possessed by the evil spirit! The Golden Core of your Shu Mountain’s elder was captured by that demonic creature! If we don’t kill him now, the Great Mountain Region will be destroyed sooner or later!”

The Mu Family’s Mu Chunyang could no longer stand up under the pressure of many top-notch cultivators. That Soul Formation cultivator even pointed at Jiang Li and cursed angrily, not hiding his killing intent at all.

“Nonsense! I think your Mu family is going too far!”

“Shu Mountain! Great Five Elements Sword Formation!”

Jiang Li’s vision blurred. He was already standing beside Daoist Wushe, and it was the Valley Master who brought him back to a safe place.

They did not believe the other party’s words at all. The current Jiang Li was very strong, and it did not conform to his cultivation realm.

However, when the two Golden Core cultivators from Shu Mountain met with an accident, Jiang Li was still a weak Qi Refinement realm cultivator and did not have the ability to attack.

Moreover, Jiang Li was the precious disciple of their sect who had grown slowly under their watch. If they could not even trust him, wouldn’t every genius from the Great Mountain have to die?

Shenshan Jianyi was also furious!

He had endured this because of his daughter-in-law’s relationship with the Mu family. However, did they really think that the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was weak?

Jiang Li was the savior of his granddaughter, Shenshan Qiuhua.

To dare touch an outstanding disciple of their Great Mountain Region at the foot of Shu Mountain, they really did not take him seriously.

With a raise of his sword finger, the towering Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak immediately began to emit a large amount of five-colored light.

Those beams of light condensed into five-colored light swords in the air. In just a moment, there were tens of thousands of them!

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five-colored light sword formed a sword light storm that enveloped the venue.

The faces of the powerful sects invited by the Mu family turned green.

The forces behind them were actually only similar to the forces at the Immortal Ascension Pavilion headquarters. Some were even inferior.

After all, even in the bustling Eastern Region Capital, it was impossible for every faction to be very powerful.

If they were really so powerful, they would have directly attacked the Great Mountain. Why would they need to wait until now?

When they were invited by the Mu family of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, they had said that he was only here to show their stand and share the benefits later on. They did not plan to attack at all.

However, it was obvious that the Mu family had gone overboard and angered the entire Great Mountain Region.

After all, this Great Mountain Region was not a small cultivation area. If they were really united, they would be hard to deal with.

“Wait! Stop! You’d rather protect him and become enemies with the Mu family?”

They still wanted to use their family name to intimidate the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region.

However, there were many old cultivators present who were hundreds of years old. They knew very well that the space for survival and the resources for cultivation had always been fought for and not given by others.

Facing the provocations of the other forces in the Eastern Region, it was fine to be careful, but they could not be weak and incompetent. That would only attract more malice.

Now that they were surrounded by wolves, all they could do was punch out fiercely to intimidate the rest!

The tens of thousands of sword lights of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation descended.

The Soul Formation cultivator from the Mu family could only grab Mu Chunyang like he was grabbing a chicken and return to the other five Nascent Souls.

The six of them joined forces. The Yang Wood spiritual qi surged astonishingly. A huge peach tree rose from the ground and protected the seven of them inside the tree trunk.

In the next moment, dense five-colored sword lights descended like raindrops, causing the peach blossom flower leaf to wither and branches to fly everywhere. In the blink of an eye, it was already riddled with holes.

The rain-like five-colored sword light only lasted for three breaths of time before stopping.

The branches and leaves of the peach tree had already fallen, and it was extremely bare and ugly. The tree trunk had also been torn open from the center, and a sword light shot straight into the core.

The huge peach tree slowly split in the middle and fell to the sides, revealing the few members of the Mu family.

Apart from Mu Chunyang, who was frightened stiff on the ground, the other six cultivators had flushed faces with blood in their mouths.

Clearly, the six of them were far from being able to resist the Shu Mountain Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

If not for the fact that the Shenshan Jianyi had shown mercy, their outcome would not have been as simple as being injured…

At this moment, the tip of the ancient Crimson Firmament Flying Sword was pointed at the top of the Mu family’s Soul Formation cultivator’s head. As long as he made any abnormal movements, it would directly stab into his skull.

“I’m afraid the Great Mountain Region cannot accept the good intentions of the Mu family. Please return.”

If Shenshan Jianyi was alone, these few people would probably be beheaded today.

However, as the leader of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he still had to consider the revenge of the Mu family. From the looks of it, this was the only way.

After he asked them to leave, the other sects of the Eastern Region drove their flying ships and left.

The Mu family members glanced fiercely at them and Jiang Li before leaving.

Jiang Li looked at the departing flying ship and raised his hand to retrieve a fragment of the peach tree from before.

He placed it in front of his nose and smelled it. A strong Yang qi entered his nose. The smell made him very disgusted.

This was not an ordinary peach tree. The quality of the spiritual qi wrapped around it was very good, and it seemed to be very hostile to his Nine Nether spiritual qi.

This was not only the relationship between the Yin Wood and Yang Wood, but it was more like something that was innately hostile to the Nine Nether Dao Scripture. They disliked each other.

After temporarily putting away this piece of wood, he also developed some thoughts about the Mu family.

…

Inside a flying ship entirely made of huge peach trees.

“Elder, are we going back like this? There’s definitely something wrong with that kid!”

“Those fools from the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. We clearly wanted to eliminate the demon, but not only did they not appreciate our kindness, they actually dared to offend us, their superiors! They attacked us!”

“When I return this time, I must tell Father to bring people to destroy the Great Mountain Region!”

At this moment, Mu Chunyang’s body was still trembling slightly. Clearly, he had been greatly frightened just now. He kept shouting that he wanted to eliminate the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

It was obvious that he was an ignorant young master who was overly confident in his family.

However, ever since that Soul Formation Elder of the Mu family boarded the ship, he had not said a word. It was not until the flying ship left the Shu Mountain’s territory that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The last strike of Shenshan Jianyi just now seemed to have ended on the spot and spared his life.

However, a strand of sword qi from the flying sword still entered his body at that point. The fierce and extremely scorching sword qi stirred up his Qi Sea to the point it was extremely uncomfortable.

This was a lesson from Shenshan Jianyi. It would probably make him suffer for a few days.

“I didn’t expect such a person to exist in a place like this Great Mountain Region.”

“The old patriarch can’t move out of our territory so easily. Now that the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region has become united, it’s not easy for us to make them lower their heads.”

Compared to the bustling central region of the Eastern Region, the Great Mountain Region was naturally far inferior. However, it was impossible for the Mu family to easily defeat them, who had already joined forces, without the strongest person present.

“But that kid was clearly possessed by the evil tree. He’s even more deeply possessed than that Golden Core cultivator from Shu Mountain. Are we just going to let him be?”

Mu Chunyang was still brooding over the result of losing to Jiang Li, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He wanted to quickly kill Jiang Li to cover up his dark history.

“Chunyang, you should know that those people are actually just puppets of the evil tree. They are all walking corpses without any thoughts of the future. You don’t have to take them to heart.”

“We’ve already confirmed that there’s an evil tree hidden in the Great Mountain Region. As long as we find the place and destroy the main body, these puppets will all disappear. There’s no need for you to care too much about them.”

…

After they parted on bad terms with the Mu family and the other forces of the Eastern Region, the forces of the Great Mountain Region present started to clamor.

“What should we do next? The matter of the Myriad Slaughter Sect has yet to be resolved, and now, we’ve provoked the Peach Forest’s Mu family as well. I think that the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm is a disaster.”

“Those factions are all here for the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm. Why don’t we just mine it all? Without benefits left, we’ll be safe.”

“But… this is too much of a pity. The production of the mystic realm is even more shocking than what we calculated at the beginning. It’s the greatest support for our Great Mountain Region to catch up to the other places in the Eastern Region. If we give up just like this…”

“You’re wrong. We can’t protect this benefit now. The best solution is to strengthen ourselves as soon as possible.”

“That’s right. If we delay any longer, it might all be for nothing.”

Many sect representatives began to discuss this matter one after another. Their thoughts were quite clear, and their focus was basically on the excavation of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm.

Jiang Li should be glad that he had transmigrated to this cultivation world and entered a large sect like the Scripture Storage Valley.

If it was the Hidden Leaf Village in another world, they would be discussing how to offer him as a sacrifice to calm their anger.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Listen to me.”

The Scripture Storage Valley’s Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, stood up and spoke, temporarily suppressing the noise.

“I think the current situation is not as bad as you all think.”

“The Myriad Slaughter Sect is indeed powerful, but they have committed many sins and made countless enemies. The situation in the Eastern Region might not be simple.”

“My disciple, Chu Yunxuan, has once been training in the Eastern Region Capital. He learned that the Myriad Slaughter Sect is currently at war with several sects and won’t be able to deal with us for a short period of time.”

After Daoist Wushe finished speaking, Shenshan Jianyi continued.

“That’s right, the Mu family of the Peach Forest is the same. The Mu family’s patriarch’s cultivation is indeed monstrous, far above ours.”

“But in the past eight hundred years, I have never heard of him appearing in the outside world. Only when powerful enemies invaded did he make a move.”

“I don’t think he can come out so easily.”

Shenshan Qiuhua’s mother, Elder Mu, was originally from the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest. Although she had left home in her early years, she still knew a lot about the situation in the family.

“The current Great Mountain is far from being in danger. As long as we stick together, no one can easily snatch our things.”

The three great sects took turns to speak and throw out news from the outside world to stabilize the hearts of the people. At the same time, they emphasized that the enemies of the outside world were to unite the internal forces of the Great Mountain Region.

However, what to do next was still uncertain.

“Why don’t you hand over the production of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm to my Immortal Ascension Pavilion?”

“Everyone should know that my Immortal Ascension Pavilion has been conscientious and honest for many years.”

“The Great Mountain Branch has relied on you for many years. Now is the time for us to do our part.”

“Now that the Hundred Tempering Mountain is dead, the Great Mountain Region’s ability to digest spiritual materials and convert them into medicinal pills will definitely be greatly reduced. I think it’s useless to mine the medicinal garden in a short period of time.”

“Why don’t you hand over the spiritual materials to my Immortal Ascension Pavilion? This time, we won’t charge any spirit stones. After transporting the spiritual materials to the Eastern Region, we’ll sell them and exchange them for artifacts, spirit stones, and medicinal pills before transporting them back to the Great Mountain Region.”

“These high-quality spiritual materials can be bought outside, so the forces of the Eastern Region naturally won’t waste time and come to the Great Mountain Region to cause trouble.”

“The spirit stones and artifacts exchanged can also strengthen the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region faster. It’s the best of both worlds. Why not?”

The new Pavilion Master of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, Wen Huizhou, suddenly jumped out to make an offer. He even claimed that he would not charge any fees and would work for the Great Mountain Region for free.

However…

“Pavilion Master Wen must be busy every day. How can we trouble you to go through so much trouble? Today, our Great Mountain Region is discussing some small matters. We don’t need to trouble you to participate. Please leave.”

Many sect representatives nodded in agreement when they heard Wen Huizhou’s words. They felt that what he said made sense. However, how could anyone believe the words of businessmen who had prospered for hundreds of years?

During the exchange of goods, who knew how much profits they could secretly take for themselves.

The three great sects still remembered this fellow’s despicable actions earlier, and they immediately chased him out.

This was nothing personal, they simply did not believe in him.

In the end, Pavilion Master Wen left the venue with a dark expression.

“In my opinion, we can’t let them participate in the future Immortal Ascension Assemblies anymore.”

“The Immortal Ascension Pavilion is an outsider after all. We can’t trust them completely.”

Many sects chimed in and kicked the Immortal Ascension Pavilion out of the discussion.

However, his words opened up some thoughts for the others.

What Wen Huizhou said was actually very reasonable. Although they could not let the Immortal Ascension Pavilion take charge of the transactions, they could do it themselves.

After a round of discussion, the new organization, the “Great Mountain Alliance”, that represented the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region to exercise external affairs, was established!
