Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1273 - 662 Proactively Accepting the Challenge_2

Such a result meant that the Liang Family was now without its protective barrier. Either they would face a hasty battle on the day the formation was breached, or, like the previous great war, they would step out from the protection of the formation beforehand and engage in combat with the four major factions.

Between these two possibilities, Hua Zhenxing naturally favored the latter.

After all, there was already a precedent for this, and from the perspective of the Liang Family, they would surely choose the option most beneficial to them.

Since the formation was already at risk of being breached, the Liang Family would inevitably act soon.

Understanding this, Hua Zhenxing had already prepared for the Liang Family to come out and engage in battle at any time.

Thus, during this temporary lull in the attack, Hua Zhenxing began notifying the cultivators from the four major factions one by one.

Not long after, the assaults of the four factions resumed, and their intensity grew wave after wave.

It was evident that, with the weakness of the Liang Family’s Mountain Protection Array discovered by Gao Zhi, their attacks had become increasingly effective.

At this rate, the Liang Family would surely feel as though they were sitting on a bed of needles.

With such results, their strikes became swifter and more forceful, clearly aiming to force the Liang Family members out to engage in battle as soon as possible.

For this goal, they had persevered for nearly a month.

During this time, they had hardly ceased their assaults, ensuring the Liang Family had no chance to catch their breath.

Now that they were finally seeing clear progress, impatience naturally surged within them.

With this purpose in mind, the cultivators of the four major factions launched their attacks with even greater ferocity, showing no intention of stopping until their objective was achieved.

Meanwhile, within the Liang Family’s territory—

When Liang Shaorong observed the changes on the formation’s light screen, his expression turned grim.

After the conclusion of the previous great war, the Liang Family’s Array Masters had already been working to further repair and refine the critical nodes of the Defensive Great Formation, sparing no expense to enhance its defensive power.

At the same time, the weakness previously pinpointed by Gao Zhi had been addressed by Liang Qinghong, with the addition of numerous medium-grade Spirit Stones to bolster the energy conversion capabilities of the formation.

The Liang Family had paid a hefty price to delay the inevitable as much as possible.

But the opposing four factions were not fools, and they too had several skilled Third Order Array Masters in their ranks.

Particularly Gao Zhi of the Yuanchen Sect, whose expertise in the Way of Formation Setting was not insignificant. By combining his abilities with those of the Array Masters from the other three factions, they quickly identified the weaknesses of the Liang Family’s Defensive Great Formation.

Now, the opposing side had achieved their goal.

At this rate, the formation would be breached within days.

To avoid fighting hastily when the formation failed, the Liang Family had to follow their plan and strike preemptively, catching the Yuanchen Sect and the other factions off guard.

Moreover, doing so was crucial to prevent the total destruction of the Liang Family’s Defensive Great Formation.

One must understand that a formation like this, perfected and refined over tens of thousands of years, had consumed countless resources and manpower to achieve its current level of incredible defensive power.

Consider that the forty-plus Golden Core Cultivators from the Yuanchen Sect and the other three factions had attacked relentlessly for nearly a month just to genuinely threaten the Liang Family’s Mountain Protection Array.

This alone demonstrated the true value of the Liang Family’s formation.

Under such circumstances, the preservation of this formation was absolutely imperative.

Fully aware of this, Liang Shaorong, despite his inner reluctance, had no choice but to consider when to launch a preemptive strike.

Having decided, Liang Shaorong let out a quiet sigh.

Then, he began to speak: "Fellow Daoists, our Liang Family’s formation cannot hold out much longer."

"Since it will inevitably be breached, instead of passively awaiting the attack, it is better to take the initiative."

"Thus, I have decided to launch an offensive tomorrow, seizing an opportunity to catch Old Ghost Hua and the others off guard."

"For now, everyone, please rest and recover. Prepare yourselves to engage in battle at a moment’s notice."

"As for tomorrow, I shall rely on your support!"

Having said this, Liang Shaorong clasped his hands and bowed to the assembled cultivators, his tone and demeanor sincere.

As Liang Shaorong finished speaking, Liang Shaoguang spoke next.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoists. Once our Liang Family overcomes this crisis, we will forever remember your efforts."

"Moreover, should any of you require assistance, do not hesitate to ask. Our Liang Family will compensate with appropriate treasures."

"In short, rest assured; our Liang Family will not let any of you suffer losses."

As the Liang Family Clan Leader, Liang Shaoguang’s tone was earnest, employing promises of benefit to put the external reinforcements at ease.

Lin Tianming and the others nodded slightly upon hearing this, tacitly showing their agreement with Liang Shaorong and Liang Shaoguang’s words.

The other Loose Cultivators and the Golden Core Experts from the Yang Clan also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Liang Shaorong and Liang Shaoguang both nodded in satisfaction, their anxiety easing significantly.

Following this, everyone resumed meditating to recover their strength and prepare for battle.

At dawn the next morning, the first rays of light began to pierce through the darkness.

At this moment, the group attacking the Liang Family’s formation overnight had just completed a round of assaults.

According to Hua Zhenxing and the other Late Stage Golden Core experts, this was a brief period for rest and recovery to allow the cultivators to catch their breath and unleash stronger attacks in the next round.

But just as these cultivators were preparing to withdraw, the formation’s light screen behind them suddenly flared with radiance.

Simultaneously, the ground trembled slightly, and a crack appeared on the light screen.

Moments later, the crack expanded into a ten-foot-wide passage from which numerous figures emerged.

Soon, these figures stepped beyond the formation’s protective range.

At the forefront, two shadowy figures moved at astonishing speed and abruptly launched their attacks the moment they appeared.

In an instant, a golden dragon of Sword Qi roared out from one figure, targeting a retreating Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

Simultaneously, the other shadowy figure unleashed a Spiritual Light that tore through the void, locking onto another Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator withdrawing from the battlefield.

As the radiance illuminated their forms, the identities of the two attackers became clear—it was none other than Lin Tianming and Liang Shaorong.

The two had the fastest speed and were at the forefront of the Liang Family forces.

Taking advantage of their initial emergence and their swiftness, they struck first, launching a sudden, calculated assault.

At this moment, most of the cultivators withdrawing from the four major factions had yet to react.

By the time Lin Tianming and his allies appeared, the distance between the two forces was less than a few miles.

For ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators, this might still be considered a considerable distance, but for Golden Core Cultivators, it was no more than a flick of the finger.

Especially the cultivators at the rear, most of whom were merely at the Early Stage Golden Core, their perception far inferior to that of Hua Zhenxing and the other Late Stage experts.

By the time those in the rear reacted, Lin Tianming and Liang Shaorong’s attacks were already upon them.

The cultivators at the back were locked onto by Lin Tianming and Liang Shaorong.

This preemptive assault aimed to catch the foe off guard.

The two targeted these Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators as the focus of their initial strikes.

Given their considerable cultivation levels and the element of surprise, their sudden attacks had a high chance of killing an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator outright.

Though in the grand scheme of the battlefield, the loss of an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator might not decisively alter the outcome, gaining an advantage and easing the pressure on their allies was well worth the effort.

What’s more, this was merely a casual attempt at an opening attack.

If they succeeded, all the better. If not, there would be no real loss for the Liang Family’s side.

Motivated by this objective, Lin Tianming and Liang Shaorong moved with incredible speed, their angles of attack unpredictably precise.
