Guang HuiDaoist received the news from Azure Bamboo too late, leaving him with hardly any time for adequate preparation. The preparations were severely insufficient, and Forest Spring Watch was not ready for a major battle at all. Now, the difference between being prepared for war and unprepared is becoming evident. After hesitating for many days, and seeing the rapid depletion of spiritual stones in the mountain protection great formation, Guang HuiDaoist finally made the ultimate decision.

He decided to adopt Lin Bailin’s suggestion and leave the mountain protection great formation voluntarily before the spiritual stones were completely depleted. He would engage the enemy in a life-and-death battle. In his view, the strength gap between the two sides was not significant, and they had the power to fight.
The disciples of Forest Spring Watch secretly mobilized and began assembling. When Meng Zhang and others completed an attack and returned to recover their true qi, the mountain protection great formation suddenly closed. Seven Foundation Building stage cultivators from Forest Spring Watch actively flew out, followed by seven hundred Refining Qi stage disciples who formed a simple formation and rushed down from the mountain.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zhang and others stopped their actions and turned to face the disciples of Forest Spring Watch. During the attack on the mountain protection great formation, both sides had held back their strength, consuming only a small portion of their true qi, preserving most of their combat power.
Realizing the enemy’s move, they immediately knew that Forest Spring Watch was risking everything and launching a counterattack. Everyone quickly swallowed pills to recover their true qi and mobilized their true qi while making use of the medicinal power.
Wen Qiansun left the group of eight people and flew towards the group of Refining Qi stage cultivators from the other two sects. After completing their excavation tasks, the Refining Qi stage cultivators from the two sects had not been idle and were continuously practicing how to coordinate in battle. When Meng Zhang and the Foundation Building stage cultivators attacked the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch, the Refining Qi stage cultivators from the two sects were already prepared for battle.
Wen Qiansun returned to the group of Taiyi Sect disciples and personally commanded them, setting up a Qiankun Revolving Formation. Among the crowd of Qiaoshou Sect disciples, under the command of a few Refining Qi late-stage disciples, they set up the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Formation. The two formations were not far apart and were positioned to support and complement each other.
In the sky, the Foundation Building stage cultivators from both sides flew towards each other, beginning their individual duels. On the ground, all the Refining Qi stage disciples of Forest Spring Watch formed a simple formation and charged relentlessly towards the enemy.
Just before they were about to engage with the enemy, Forest Spring Watch made its move. By gathering the power of many cultivators into the formation, they released twelve powerful talismans simultaneously.
Twelve huge figures descended from the sky, landing in the middle of both formations. These were combat puppets summoned through Second Rank talismans, possessing formidable strength.
The First Rank puppet summoning talismans could only produce low combat strength puppets with brute force and agility, suitable for basic tasks. However, the Second Rank combat puppet summoning talismans produced giants around ten zhang tall, possessing immense strength and being highly resistant to low-level spells. In a large-scale battle involving Refining Qi stage cultivators, these combat puppets served as a sturdy backbone, charging recklessly and dealing powerful blows that were difficult to withstand.
A total of twelve Second Rank combat puppets were summoned, in addition to seven Second Rank combat puppets that rushed out from among the disciples of Forest Spring Watch, swiftly pouncing on the opposing enemy.

As a sect with a heritage of several hundred years, Forest Spring Watch had accumulated a considerable amount of resources, especially after becoming the dominant force in this region. Despite not being fully prepared for war, they still managed to bring out some powerful trump cards from their treasury.
Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect had made thorough war preparations in advance and had full support from Flying Swan Sect, enabling them to also bring out many powerful trump cards. Similar Second Rank combat puppet summoning talismans were released, and ten combat puppets appeared in front of the disciples of the two sects, rushing toward the disciples of Forest Spring Watch.
Five Second Rank puppets emerged and stood in front of the disciples of the two sects, blocking the charge of the seven Second Rank puppets from Forest Spring Watch. Forest Spring Watch, as a Gold Core sect, had indeed gathered quite a few powerful resources. In contrast, Taiyi Sect’s Refining Qi stage disciples were outnumbered and were considered the weaker link by Forest Spring Watch.
However, it should not be forgotten that among Taiyi Sect’s Refining Qi stage disciples, there was Wen Qiansun, a Foundation Building stage cultivator, commanding them. The Qiankun Revolving Formation began to operate, and its power infused into Wen Qiansun.
Wen Qiansun wielded his armor-piercing blade and lightly slashed at one of the Second Rank puppets resembling a tiger. Though the Second Rank puppet had the killing power of a Foundation Building stage cultivator, it was no match for a cultivator with intelligence in actual combat. Especially when Wen Qiansun had the support of the formation’s power.
With a single flash of the blade, the tiger-like Second Rank puppet was cut into two and fell motionless on the ground. Another bear-like Second Rank puppet charged toward the formation of Taiyi Sect’s disciples.
A purple-gold shield descended from the sky, precisely blocking the path of the puppet’s charge. The bear puppet crashed into the shield and sent it flying, halting its advance.
At this moment, Wen Qiansun had restored his qi and continued to wield the armor-piercing blade, slashing towards the bear puppet.
On the side of Qiaoshou Sect cultivators, although there was no Foundation Building stage cultivator leading them, they had plenty of good resources. Several Refining Qi late-stage disciples worked together to unleash a scroll, from which a golden needle shadow flew out. Wherever the golden needle shadow passed, both Second Rank puppets and Second Rank combat puppets were easily pierced, causing the puppets to break down and the combat puppets to disappear.
Both Forest Spring Watch and the allied forces of the two sects were using all means at their disposal, bringing out many powerful trump cards. Some of these methods even posed a threat to Foundation Building stage cultivators. If a few Foundation Building stage cultivators were surrounded by this group of Refining Qi stage cultivators and were not careful, they could truly face deadly danger.
In the sky, both sides had seven Foundation Building stage cultivators each, seemingly fair, but the difference in strength was too significant. Forest Spring Watch only had Guang HuiDaoist and Guang RuiDaoist, both at the middle stage of Foundation Building, while Meng Zhang’s side had a total of four middle-stage Foundation Building cultivators. A middle-stage Foundation Building cultivator held overwhelming advantages against an early-stage Foundation Building cultivator.
Moreover, Meng Zhang himself was a renowned genius cultivator, having inherited the legacy of Taiyi Sect during its prime. Deep Earth Spirit General and Shocking Thunder Spirit General had previously possessed the power of Gold Core stage.
