Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124

The chaos in the Lingyun Sect lasted for a good ten minutes until the senior brother, with superior skills, finally won the portion of braised chicken rice, albeit with a few injuries inflicted by his junior brothers.

Seeing the triumphant expressions of Zhang Menglong and others, they finally realized they had been tricked! Such a low-level strategy would never have fooled them under normal circumstances. But in this tired and hungry state, who could keep their brain as calm as before?

"Senior brother, it’s my fault."

"Junior brother, it’s the senior brother’s fault!"

"Brother Zhang, I never thought in my life that a portion of rice could push people to such an extent."

For a portion of rice, the Lingyun Sect disciples ended up with three seriously injured and more than twenty lightly injured, almost matching the effect of a bomb.

"What’s this?" Zhang Menglong said disdainfully, "You have no idea. In our high school, when it’s lunchtime, the situation is at least hundreds of times more chaotic than this. At their level, they wouldn’t even get to the leftover soup in our school canteen!"

"Sounds terrifying," Qi Xiu clicked his tongue in wonder. It sounds place called high school and canteen must be a hellish land of training for martial artists, where you have to fight hard just to get a bite to eat. No wonder it could cultivate someone as formidable as Zhang Menglong.

With stomachs full, the martial artists started cleaning up their utensils and food, and this scene reignited the recently dissipated fear in the hearts of the Lingyun Sect members. With the meal over, it meant the battle was about to resume.

"Now listen to my command. Attention, everyone, start your siesta. In an hour and a half, we begin the attack!"

Following Zhang Menglong’s command, the martial artists from the Royal Family found a place and actually began to sleep after eating their fill!

The hearts of the Lingyun Sect members were pounding faster and faster. If this continued, they’d all probably end up with heart disease and high blood pressure. Who could endure such repeated scares? This is practically killing us!

Hearing snoring coming from the Royal camp, the Lingyun Sect members also felt sleepy, and soon they too collapsed and slept on the ground.

"Time’s up! Wake up!" With a whistling sound, the Lingyun Sect members were startled awake.

They barely had time to wipe their sleepy eyes when the orderly army was already arrayed in front of them, and the twelve powerful cannons were emitting purple glows.

Without any warning, the Royal army began bombarding their Sect Protection Array frantically.

The Sect Protection Array appeared shaky under such dense bombardment. This rapid firing mode, ten attacks per second, totaling twelve cannons, meant that the array had to withstand the equivalent of 120 ordinary attacks from Heaven-breaking Realm martial artists every second. Although only ordinary attacks, it still exceeded its maximum capacity.

It lasted less than three minutes before the array cracked open again!

"It’s about to open. Activate the stored energy mode!"

"What? There’s a stored energy mode?" Hearing this, the Lingyun Sect members instantly had a sinking feeling.

In rapid-fire mode, it can attack ten times per second. In stored energy mode, each charge takes five seconds but doubles the attack power!

As the bombardment paused, the densely cracked Sect Protection Array began to repair itself slowly. But before it could fully restore, the twelve Italian Cannon plus fired golden beams.

With this attack, a hole with a diameter of over ten meters appeared at the front of the Sect Protection Array. Although it was slowly recovering, it would take at least a minute or two to fully restore.

And during this time, it was more than enough for the Royal martial artists to break in!

Without the protection of the Sect Protection Array, their mountain gate was as fragile as tofu. All the Italian Cannon plus resumed rapid-fire mode, quickly toppling the mountain gate, shattering rocks, and turning the foot of Lingyun Sect’s mountain into a purgatory.

"Retreat! Quickly retreat! Let’s concentrate our defense, head to the forbidden zone!"

The disciples of the Lingyun Sect simply abandoned defending the mountain gate. This attack was akin to a blow from a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist; who could withstand it? Could they really use their flesh and blood to build a wall of defense?

Seriously, if a portion of rice could break their brotherhood, do you really expect them to sacrifice their lives for the Sect?

As the barrage ceased, the entrance of the Lingyun Sect was already deserted.

"Charge, let’s attack!" Qi Xiu’s martial artists had just warmed up. Lingyun Sect, is this all it is?

The Italian Cannon plus, despite being heavy, could still be easily lifted by ten martial artists working together, and they charged up to the peak of Lingyun Sect along the already damaged path.

The forbidden zone of Lingyun Sect was a place accessible only to the Sect Master and those he designated. It housed all the top cultivation techniques and martial skills collected by the Lingyun Sect since its founding and was also the safest place in the entire sect.

Deep within the forbidden zone stood a golden beast totem, something the first generation Sect Master acquired by chance during his travels across the continent. The Sect Protection Array was built around it, making this forbidden zone incredibly difficult even for Mystic-Breaking Realm martial artists to penetrate.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Lingyun Sect had gathered at the entrance to the forbidden zone. They were disheveled, their faces sallow, with dark circles even heavier than those of Trump and the Lonely Prince. This was their last straw.

They watched warily in one direction, as the neat footsteps and the rolling friction sound of the Italian Cannon plus approached them like the footsteps of a demon.

Finally, the Royal Family’s forces reached the entrance of the forbidden zone.

Qi Xiu stepped forward, "Lingyun Sect, you are surrounded. I demand that you cease resistance and surrender immediately. The Royal Family will not harm any prisoner, but if you continue to resist stubbornly, the entire Lingyun Sect will be razed to the ground!"

As Qi Xiu finished speaking, the cannon muzzles slowly aimed at their heads.

"Sect Master! Sect Master, please come out! If you don’t come out, our Lingyun Sect’s long-standing foundation will be completely destroyed!" Even the Fourth Elder among others cried out miserably at this moment.

"Why do I feel like we’re the villains here?" Zhang Menglong surprisingly felt a bit of pity for them.

"Crying and wailing, what’s that?"

At this moment, the door of the forbidden zone opened, and a god-like voice gave all the Lingyun Sect members a shot of reassurance.

"Ah-haha, the Sect Master is out!"

Several figures emerged from the forbidden zone, exuding a powerful aura, led by the current Sect Master, Ling Meng, accompanied by other elders of the Lingyun Sect.

Ling Meng glanced around at the surroundings. The former sect had become a ruins, turning his face grim instantly. He didn’t expect that even before he could challenge the Royal Family, they had already come up.

"You Royal Family people, how dare you!" Ling Meng’s eyes burned, making the Royal martial artists feel immense pressure.

A martial artist handling the cannon lost control for a moment, accidentally firing a shot.

"Trivial skill!" Ling Meng unleashed a Sword Qi from his hand, intercepting the blast in mid-air.

Witnessing this scene, the Lingyun Sect members’ spirits soared. Didn’t the Royal rely on these weapons to be so domineering? Now that their Sect Master was taking action, would these things still be effective?

"The old man’s got some moves, huh?" Zhang Menglong laughed while pulling a Xuan Coin out of his pocket and tossed it to the ground, "Come on! Bring another one!"
