Invincible Little School Doctor-Chapter 1769: Only Dead Jackals Are Good Jackals
The place where Ye Haochuan is located is entirely composed of this kind of ore, soaring into the clouds. Flying over it is unrealistic; the only passage through this place is the Youlang Gorge painstakingly mined by the ancestors.
Youlang Gorge is over a hundred miles long, but only a few yards wide, extremely magnificent.
Currently, the gorge is filled with people, part of them are Evil Sect Cultivators guarding the place, the other part are cultivators from the Phantom Sound Pavilion.
The third section remains in front, the second section behind, Zhu Qingshuang and the Old Sect Master, following Ye Haochuan’s orders, hide in the rear array and do not appear.
The Evil Sect members saw the cultivators from the Phantom Sound Pavilion coming with great momentum, mixing surprise with vigilance, quickly mobilizing personnel to defend.
Intelligence indicates that the Evil Sect is divided into three parts, one stationed within the gorge, to prevent the Phantom Sound Pavilion from breaking through.
The second part, behind the valley, serves as the rear of Evil Sect’s defense, guarded by a few combat personnel, protecting the injured.
Additionally, because this place is very close to the entrance of the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm, they also conveniently defend the entrance of the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm.
Previously, due to failing to guard this entrance, Ye Haochuan and others managed to break through, causing substantial losses to Evil Sect’s main force. Therefore, they have no choice but to remain vigilant to prevent being ambushed again.
This time, Ye Haochuan’s squad aims at this particular group of Evil Sect Cultivators.
"Senior Sister Mu, haven’t we reached the secret passage yet?" Ye Haochuan asked, turning his head, after sneaking for hundreds of meters in the Youlang Gorge.
Senior Sister Mu refers to the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s Array Master who filled the position of Zi Mengqi; she is a middle-aged female cultivator in her forties, named Mu Liang, as cold as her name suggests.
"Almost!" Mu Liang answered minimally, not pausing her steps at all.
Ye Haochuan frowned slightly; advancing in the Youlang Gorge could easily lead to discovery by Evil Sect Cultivators. If the entrance is too far ahead and gets discovered, the plan would surely fail.
Fortunately, Mu Liang soon confirmed they were almost there. A dozen meters later, she finally stopped. She forcefully pushed a concealed stone wall beside the valley, causing a stone block to retreat, exposing a pitch-black tunnel before everyone.
Ye Haochuan’s face lit up with joy, leading the way into the secret passage.
Fighting on home ground always has many advantages, much like this secret passage.
This passage was built by the predecessors of the Phantom Sound Pavilion as a precaution; a tunnel from one side of the gorge to the other.
The tunnel is not wide, only enough for one person to pass through. Transporting a large troop through this passage is clearly impossible. Therefore, Ye Haochuan brought merely over three hundred people.
Three hundred people entered single file, disappearing silently into the Youlang Gorge.
Meanwhile, Li Mei heard that the Xuanmen Cultivators suddenly attacked, and a hint of smugness appeared on his face.
"Ye Haochuan, although you’re usually smart, you’re so foolish in the war formation. I’ve long been prepared. You really think you can break through?"
"Elder Li was indeed wise to choose such a necessary route for defense, making it hard for those Xuanmen guys to escape even with wings," complimented a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage red-haired cultivator beside Li Mei.
Li Mei was infuriated rather than pleased, snorting, "If it weren’t for the Saintess’s sudden interference, I would have wiped out Ye Haochuan and the Phantom Sound Pavilion crowd long ago, where would my time be wasted here?"
He vaguely guessed that the Saintess acted so to save Ye Haochuan. Yet, he couldn’t say it outright because he lacked evidence.
Given the Sect Master’s affection for the Saintess, if he spread unfounded claims without solid evidence, getting skinned would be inevitable.
"The Saintess has been sent to the Sect Master’s side by now; I reckon this time, nothing will stop Elder Li from assassinating Ye Haochuan. I’m here to preemptively congratulate Elder Li on returning with Ye Haochuan’s head, calming his heart," the red-haired cultivator grinned obsequiously.
Li Mei chuckled lightly, saying, "Fine, if we kill him that easily, it truly feels worthless. Let him first kindle a sliver of hope to escape, then mercilessly snuff out that hope, I want to see his expression."
"Presumably, his expression will be worse than having lost his father!" The red-haired cultivator sneered.
These words delighted Li Mei, who laughed heartily, "Let’s go, see that face worse than losing his father!"
After speaking, he led a large troop of cultivators walking toward Youlang Gorge.
Just minutes after he left the camp behind the gorge, Ye Haochuan’s figure suddenly appeared near this camp.
Ye Haochuan’s Perspective Eyes swept over, capturing the entire camp in view.
"Still quite careless, apart from the injured, only a few hundred cultivators are guarding," Ye Haochuan’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
He immediately waved his hand forward, and the over three hundred men quietly dispersed in small teams, sneaking into the camp.
The guards in the camp were gathered in twos and threes, bantering, boasting to each other. Even when sensing the presence of cultivators approaching, they assumed it was other guards passing by, without any alertness, oblivious to the looming danger.
Actually, their laxity wasn’t entirely to blame, this place was exceedingly safe; reaching here from two other locations, one being Youlang Gorge defended by the army, the other being the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm entrance where their men lurked.
Under such circumstances, there’s impossibly any danger here, which is why they did not fortify.
Unfortunately for them, they didn’t know there was another secret passage at this location by the Phantom Sound Pavilion, didn’t know Ye Haochuan would appear here like a divine weapon falling from the skies, hence they died silently in utter shock.
Having quietly dealt with the guards, Ye Haochuan showed no mercy to the injured. This isn’t secular warfare, there’s no dogmatic convention about not killing captives.
Everyone here is an enemy, and though they seem dying now, once recovered, each turns into a ravenous wolf. Only dead wolves are good wolves.
Healing minor injuries is effortless for cultivators; those lightly wounded here are already cured. The ones staying here are severely injured.
These injured possessed minimal resistance, swept through completely by Ye Haochuan’s people, with all their heads severed.
This battle, stealthily under the radar, killed over six hundred guards and over a thousand injured, truly a noteworthy achievement.
After disposing of these individuals, Ye Haochuan made no halt, heading straight towards the Sub-Xun Dimension Realm’s entrance.
Meanwhile, Li Mei, completely unaware his rear got sabotaged, excitedly arrived at the frontline of Youlang Gorge.
Phantom Sound Pavilion’s members hurried here at top speed, yet for some reason, didn’t launch an attack, but stood solemnly without moving.
On the Evil Sect’s side, lacking orders from Li Mei, they didn’t attack either. Thus, both parties faced each other in silent confrontation.
"Go call out Ye Haochuan, let him come and chat with me!" Li Mei commanded.
The red-haired cultivator obliged, and shouted provocatively in front of the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s great formation yet received no response whatsoever. Not from Ye Haochuan, nor Zhu Qingshuang or the Old Sect Master.
"What’s going on?" Li Mei’s previous smugness suddenly froze. His instincts warned that something was awry with the opposition.
