Chapter 707: The threat approaches
This time, the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan staked everything and launched a surprise attack on Dongyuan City. While they succeeded in the assault, the Human Clan cultivators put up a fierce resistance, causing significant losses to the Barbarian Clan and preventing them from further expanding their gains.
Upon receiving news of Dongyuan City's attack, reinforcements from the Human Clan arrived swiftly. Jin Li, the True Monarch in charge of logistics, was supposed to be stationed in the city, but at that time, she was transporting a batch of critical supplies to the frontline.
Jin Li is one of the first Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who rushed to support Dongyuan City. With the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan attacking and capturing Dongyuan City, Jin Li could be considered negligent in her duties.
The losses suffered by the Jiuqu League this time were exceedingly severe. Not to mention the casualties among ordinary cultivators, just the deaths and injuries of two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were unprecedented losses that hadn't been seen in many years.
Furious, Jin Li True Monarch displayed her might and directly killed several of the Barbarian Clan's generals on the spot, even injuring a Barbarian King.
After taking control of Dongyuan City, she showed special consideration for the Taiyi Sect cultivators due to their unique relationship. She actively searched for medical treatment for the severely injured Taiyi Sect cultivators and even expended her own vital energy to stabilize the injuries of several Gold Core Daoist Masters.
She arranged for this group of Taiyi Sect cultivators to handle logistics in Dongyuan City, originally intending to take care of them. But now, seeing the devastating losses suffered by the Taiyi Sect cultivators, she felt guilty and had a sense of shame.
Using her authority, she prioritized sending the Taiyi Sect cultivators back to their sect. A significant portion of the Taiyi Sect cultivators were conscripted to Dongyuan City, while some were directly participating in frontline battles.
Although the latter group of cultivators had also suffered losses in the frontline battles, they had not experienced such a calamity.
Niu Dawei, who was commanding Taiyi Sect disciples in the frontline battles, heard about the situation in the rear and left Wen Qiansun and Yang Xueyi in charge. He rushed back to Dongyuan City along with Extreme Sword Spirit General.Upon returning to Dongyuan City, they arrived just as Jin Li True Monarch was stabilizing the injuries of the severely injured Taiyi Sect cultivators, preparing to send them back to Taiyi Sect.
Niu Dawei and Extreme Sword Spirit General escorted the injured cultivators back to their sect.
Shocking Thunder Spirit General returned to the sect and first reported the details to Meng Zhang. Initially, Meng Zhang was planning to go to Dongyuan City to retrieve the injured Taiyi Sect cultivators. However, the flying vessel carrying the injured cultivators returned to Taiyi Sect before he could depart.
Upon seeing his master Meng Zhang, Niu Dawei felt deeply ashamed and knelt down to apologize, saying that he hadn't taken good care of his fellow sect members.
Although Meng Zhang was furious, he didn't lose his composure; he wasn't the type to shift blame onto others. He comforted Niu Dawei, telling him that the responsibility for this matter didn't solely rest on his shoulders and advised him not to burden himself with unnecessary guilt.
After Niu Dawei and Extreme Sword Spirit General brought back the injured cultivators, they hurriedly left Taiyi Sect again to rush to the frontline. The situation at the frontline was critical, and it was a crucial time for utilizing manpower. They still had combat tasks to carry out and couldn't stay away for too long.
Meng Zhang began a careful examination of the specific injuries of the injured cultivators and worked hard to treat them. The injuries of Zheng Chao and Hu Jing, who were the most severely wounded, had already been stabilized by Jin Li True Monarch. The subsequent healing process required continuous investment of resources and effort.
Zheng Chao, although his path is completely destroyed, still has hope to maintain his Gold Core level of Cultivation Base and combat power in the future.
Hu Jing excels in the art of beast taming, and most of her abilities rely on her natal spirit beasts. With all three of her natal spirit beasts killed, the spiritual connection between them caused her foundational essence to be severely damaged.
According to Meng Zhang's judgment, even if Hu Jing's injuries were to heal, it would be difficult for her to preserve her Cultivation Base. Even if she didn't become completely disabled, she would not be able to return to the battlefield in the future.
Delicate Water Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General are also seriously injured, but due to the special nature of their Guardian Spirit General status, their issues can be resolved relatively easily, and they won't have any lasting aftereffects.
The few surviving Foundation Building cultivators also received careful care from the sect.
An Xiaoran and An Moran, who were left behind to guard the sect, are actively seeking medical treatment for their fellow disciples. An Xiaoran, being a Third Rank Alchemist, quickly began alchemy and produced several batches of healing elixirs.
Meng Zhang's Cultivation Base has reached the Gold Core completion stage, and he has gained a deep understanding of the Grand Dao's rules. In terms of treating injuries, his abilities exceed those of most medical practitioners in the Cultivation World.
Although he hasn't deliberately studied medical techniques, pharmacology, alchemy, and other healing arts among the hundreds of cultivation arts, he still possesses several effective methods for treating injuries.
In the following period, Taiyi Sect fell into a state of chaos, with the entire sect working tirelessly to care for the injured cultivators.
Meng Zhang didn't even have time to focus on breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage. He prioritized helping his sect members heal their injuries.
Meanwhile, above Yuan Tu Great Prairie, the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, after launching their surprise attack on Dongyuan City, was forced to retreat further and further, unable to mount any counterattack.
Jade Sword Sect seized the opportunity to launch a massive attack, vowing to wipe out the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan entirely.
The invading extraterritorial Barbarian Clan suffered heavy losses, and their remaining forces were compressed into a small area.
It wouldn't take long for Jade Sword Sect to lead the Jiuqu League cultivators to break through their last defense line and eradicate them completely.
However, at this critical moment, the Jiuqu League had to temporarily halt its attack on the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan and shift the main force of cultivators to the west.
After years of resisting the Dali Dynasty, the Three Sects Alliance finally fell completely.
The mountain gates of the Three Sects Alliance were captured by the Dali Dynasty's large army of cultivators. The remaining cultivators broke out and fled the Crossing Severing Mountain Range, escaping northward into the territory of the Jiuqu League.
The pursuing troops from the Dali Dynasty relentlessly chased them and arrived not far from the Jiuqu League territory.
Despite some internal disputes, the Jiuqu League eventually took in the remnants of the Three Sects Alliance.
Faced with the powerful military force of the Dali Dynasty, the already weakened extraterritorial Barbarian Clan was now considered insignificant and was pushed into a very minor position.
The Dali Dynasty's army didn't care about the Jiuqu League's existence and arrogantly stationed themselves at the Jiuqu League's borders, ready to wage war at any moment.
Helpless, despite their unwillingness, the Jiuqu League could only leave a small detachment to monitor the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan's movements and mobilize the rest of their forces to defend against the Dali Dynasty's large army at their western borders.@@novelbin@@
Thus, the war with the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan suddenly came to an end, but a new and greater threat now loomed over the Jiuqu League.
The Dali Dynasty, which they once believed to be distant, had now arrived at their doorstep.
Faced with this imminent threat from the Dali Dynasty, the entire Jiuqu League fell into a state of panic and chaos.
The Dali Dynasty showed some diplomacy by sending envoys to the Jiuqu League's headquarters, Jiuqu City, trying to negotiate peace after showing military force.
