Just as Yang Junshan's mind was still reeling from the fact that Yin Chen had used the power of a Martial Disciple to contend against a Real Realm cultivator, outside the stone cave, Zhang Yue Ming and the rest were already stopped on the slope by the cultivators from the Tan Xi Sect.

Zhang Yue Ming stood at the very front, leading the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect and the people of the Tan Xi Sect in a confrontation. At his feet were two young cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect, and there was also the corpse of a young cultivator of the Heaven Shaking Sect, while two others were injured. If Zhang Yue Ming had not saved them all by himself, the two of them might have been captured by the Tan Xi Sect.

"Is your Tan Xi Sect planning to start a war between the two sects?" Zhang Yueming turned to the group of young cultivators led by the Tan Xi faction and questioned them harshly.

Senior brother Zheng took the lead and laughed dryly towards the sky, "Haha, you seem to think too highly of yourself. Just for the sake of the lives of us, you managed to cause a great war between the two sects. Do you think you're the head of the Heaven Shaking Sect, or do you think I'm the head of the Tan Xi Sect?"

Although senior brother Zheng's sneer was a matter of fact, it made people unable to laugh in their ears.

Zhang Yue Ming snorted, "Even if the two sects won't cause a war for us, can your Tan Xi Sect withstand the anger of my Heaven Shaking Sect?"

"The Heaven Shaking Sect is indeed the number one sect in the cultivation world of the Jade Region." The square-faced young man walked out from the group of people from the Tan Xi Sect and said confidently, "However, what happened today is a contest between us juniors. We don't want to be placed in a deathtrap ?"

"Shixiong Fang, Shixiong Fang ?."

When the people of the Tan Xi Sect heard the square-faced youth say this, they all protested in great dissatisfaction. Although the Tan Xi Sect still had an overwhelming advantage in overall strength, they had not been able to gain any advantage in the previous three exchanges.

Shixiong Fang raised his hand, signalling for everyone to calm down, and continued, "Now that the Heaven Shaking Sect's Fellow Daoists think about it, although we have promised not to kill anyone, as long as all of you surrender to us and return to Tan Xi County with us, we will treat all of you well. When the Heaven Shaking Sect's senior arrives in the future, we will definitely send all of you back alive, how about that?"

Hearing this, the girl with big eyes behind Shixiong Fang burst out in laughter and said, "Senior Fang, you're right. As long as you surrender to us, we, with our sect's reputation, promise not to harm you. This way, we won't need any more dead people on both sides, we'll kill two birds with one stone!"

For a sect like the Heaven Shaking Sect, the reputation of the sect was as great as the sky. If these young cultivators were not captured by someone with a spell, even if they were all geniuses, in the Heaven Shaking Sect's eyes, they would be better off dead than accompanied with the sect's reputation. If they were not redeemed, then who knew how many people the sect would have to show in the future.

Senior brother Zheng and the youth surnamed Zhu quickly understood the reason behind this. They all agreed and shouted at the Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators to launch a sneak attack and to ensure that the crowd would not be harmed.

"We would rather all die here, those who haven't surrendered, the Heaven Shaking Sect's disciples!"

He didn't expect that the first one to stand out and berate Tan Xi's group would be a girl like Xu Jing.

Zhang Yueming also slowly said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you are speaking nonsense. Don't forget, in our three previous fights, none of you managed to take advantage of us. Even if you have twice the number of us, what's the use of having too many useless people?"

Zhang Yue Ming's words caused the Heaven Shaking Sect disciples to be shocked. Previously, Zhang Yue Ming had beaten back the cultivators of the Tan Xi Sect several times, but her strength was far beyond that of cultivators of the same cultivation level and she held absolute authority amongst the Heaven Shaking Sect disciples.

"Fellow Daoists of the Heaven Shaking Sect, you must think this through. The reason why you took advantage of us the last three times was because we had the intention to use sneak attacks to reduce our own casualties, but now we know that among you all, there is a talented cultivator with the Blue Ear Immortal Root who is unable to use sneak attacks. As such, we can only fight fair and square, may I ask Fellow Zhang Yue, how much do you think our side will win?"

Zhang Yue Ming slowly pulled out a bronze rune sword from her waist and pointed it at Tan Xi's men as a reply.

In the cave, Yang Junshan was still unwilling to let go of the stone platform, so he put all of his spiritual power into his palm.

The amount of spiritual energy in Yang Junshan's body was many times greater than cultivators of the same cultivation level, which was why he was unwilling to give it a try. If he could open up this shortcut, wouldn't all the treasures in Yin Ming's cave enter his hands?

In fact, this expectation was just a bit short of success. The surging spiritual energy was continuously poured into the palm print, and when Yang Junshan's internal spiritual energy was about to dry up, the palm print finally stopped absorbing the spiritual energy he poured in, indicating that the spiritual energy inside was already saturated.

Yang Junshan let out a sigh of regret. Although he was not a Martial Disciple, he had accumulated enough spiritual energy, which was a little bit different in terms of quality. The difference between spiritual energy and spiritual energy was whether or not the Dantian was opened, and this was the only difference between the mortal and Martial Disciples.

However, this was also because the cave protection array was completely undamaged. If someone were to forcefully break through the cave's array outside, then the power of the array would definitely defend the cave entrance with all its might, causing the resistance to be greatly reduced. Yang Junshan might have the chance to open up the shortcut to the cave.

Understanding this, Yang Junshan naturally set his sights on Zhang Yueming and the others. However, it seemed that they weren't in a very good situation, and he wasn't sure if he should help them out when the time came.

Yang Junshan came to the edge of the mud swamp he fell on earlier and suddenly jumped two steps forward. Just as he was about to collide with the wall, he saw Yang Junshan stick his fingers into the wall and stick his whole body against it. Using both his hands and feet, Yang Junshan climbed to the exit like a giant gecko.

Yang Junshan had just jumped out from behind the huge rock. Suddenly, he heard a terrible battle cry coming from the hill in front of the rock.

Yang Junshan was startled, he had already pulled out the sword from his waist, but found that there was no enemy around. He was relieved and slowly turned the boulder around to look, only to see that the two groups of people had already entered into a heated fight. There were eight or nine young cultivators lying on the ground, unsure of whether they were dead or alive.

"These people are really quick, but it seems like Zhang Yueming and the others are in a very bad situation!"

The number of casualties in the Tan Xi Sect was actually more than the number of Heaven Shaking Sect disciples. Originally, there were thirty of them, but now there were only nineteen left.

However, Yang Junshan could tell that the real problem right now was the Heaven Shaking Sect. A large part of the reason the Tan Xi Sect had been unable to attack for a long time was because of Zhang Yueming's bravery, who had killed six or seven of the eleven people in the Tan Xi Sect.

However, it was difficult for two fists to contend with four hands. Even if Zhang Yue Ming's strength was even higher, the previous battle had saved the other disciples as if it was fire, causing a lot of spirit energy to be consumed. Now, he was also surrounded by Shixiong Fang, Shixiong Zhu, and Shixiong Zheng, and without his help, the rest of the Heaven Shaking Sect disciples would soon be suppressed.

He had been using his full strength, trying to get rid of the three strongest people in the group from the Tan Xi Sect. The remaining few Heaven Shaking Sect disciples, led by Xu Jing, also wanted to take care of Zhang Yueming, but they were stopped by the large-eyed woman and the rest of the cultivators from the Tan Xi Sect.

His left hand formed a finger seal and shot out a spell to block Senior Martial Brother Fang on the left. He pushed out his right hand, and a talisman appeared in his palm, a golden light shot out from it, and then split into two, shooting towards Zhu and Zheng respectively.

"To use two techniques at the same time, isn't that something only a Martial Disciple could do?"

Senior Zhu let out a strange cry as he retreated. It was obvious that he had previously suffered from Zhang Yue Ming's Fate Spell, so he did not dare to take it head-on. The other two people were also temporarily stopped by his spell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yue Ming's feet moved like the wind and suddenly dashed forward, slapping a cultivator who was blocking his path, causing him to spit out blood. Her chest sunk three inches deep, and she was about to reunite with Xu Jing and his group who were rushing over to support him.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm here to help you!"

A Heaven Shaking Sect disciple suddenly dashed in front of Xu Jing to assist Zhang Yueming. However, when she neared, she suddenly took out a Hundred Smelting Dagger and stabbed it towards Zhang Yueming's chest.

"No! Li Chengfeng, what are you doing!" Everything happened so suddenly that Xu Jing only had enough time to let out a scream.

Although Zhang Yue Ming had fought off three experts of the same cultivation level and killed another cultivator from the Tan Xi Sect, she seemed brave and brave, but she was already at the end of her tether. She had used up most of her spiritual energy, so she could not handle the situation.

Just as the Heaven Shaking Sect's genius cultivator, the future "Heaven Shaking Three Heroes", was about to die in their own hands, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the distance, followed by a cold flash of the bowstring. "Ah ?" The dagger in the Heaven Shaking Sect disciple's hand had already been thrown to the ground, and she fell with her arms crossed.

"Daring to plot against Senior-apprentice Brother Zhang, you're courting death!"

With a loud shout, Xue Ziqi suddenly jumped out and kicked the back of the attacker's head.

"No!" Xu Jing's shout was a step too late. "Pa!" The head of the attacker was kicked into a pulp by Xue Ziqi.
