Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 162: Slaying Enemies from a Thousand Miles Away (Seeking Subscriptions)

Four Seas Pavilion, a neutral force in the Hongxuan Continent, focuses on commercial trade and intelligence exploration.

When the exploration of the Xuan Yuan Realm had just begun, besides the Myriad Spirit Demon Sect and the Cloud Firmament Sect, only the shops of the Four Seas Pavilion settled in this place.

However, unlike the two major sects, the Four Seas Pavilion keeps a low profile, only engaging in business and not competing for territory. This makes it rare for the forces vying for dominance to antagonize them.

At this moment, Zhong Cang has gathered a large number of cultivators, slaughtered local dignitaries, and engaged in a decisive battle with the demonic sect. This information has also been discovered by the Four Seas Pavilion and transmitted back to the Hongxuan Continent.

Due to their involvement in intelligence trade, the news quickly reached the Outer Domain Sect, the Cloud Firmament Sect branch of the Four Seas Pavilion, and people like Yu Wenshu and Yue Xiuqi.

Upon learning the news, their first reaction was:

"Foolish."

"Hahaha, this is not foolishness, but our opportunity has come. Our sect is currently negotiating with the Cloud Firmament Sect. Let's send the news up and temporarily suspend the negotiations. When this battle is over, those who are eager to form an alliance won't be us, but the Cloud Firmament Sect."

By saying this, it is evident that Yu Wenshu and the others do not have high hopes for this battle.

No, it should be said that there are very few people who have high hopes for this battle.

The local dignitaries of the Xuan Yuan Realm, the demonic sect, the imperial dynasty, the Four Seas Pavilion, and even some Perfected Beings within the Cloud Firmament Sect, all do not believe that Zhong Cang can win.

Even Jing Ming, a Perfected Being, is only conducting an experiment with an attitude of "it won't get any worse anyway," allowing Zhong Cang to act recklessly.

This is not because they look down on Zhong Cang, but because the team led by Zhong Cang is too far behind the demonic sect in terms of strength on paper.

Originally, the Four Great Demon Sects were already difficult to deal with, and now the local dignitaries have joined in the chaos...

In such an extremely unfavorable situation, it is not surprising that Hua Lin, a Perfected Being, would say such words as "defeat is not a crime of war."

In this way, Zhong Cang's army, under the attention and extreme pessimism of the public, completed their preparations and set off.

"Boom..."

As the army advanced, the mere momentum caused the earth to tremble.

Led by Hou Hua, Zhong Cang and the others marched urgently towards Yangcheng, which was thirteen hundred miles away.

In the early stages, the operation went smoothly.

However, when they were halfway through the journey, trouble came for Zhong Cang and his army.

...

When attacking Linyuan City, Zhong Cang was still an insignificant figure that no one paid attention to. As a result, his army did not encounter any harassment, interception, or ambush and was able to travel smoothly to the vicinity of Linyuan City.

Moreover, he was able to camp near Linyuan City for more than ten days, leisurely waiting for the opportune moment.

Unfortunately, for the current Zhong Cang, such good fortune is already gone.

The massacre of a city has made him famous in the Xuan Yuan Realm, and every move he makes is being closely watched.

Now, leading a large army in action, he is being closely monitored by spies from the demonic sect.

Raids, harassment, and other tactics also emerged.

Initially, Zhong Cang was cultivating and did not take action. He only dispersed the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect and protected the army's movements.

He thought that the Demon Sect was afraid of death and would not attack the army. They would only send some ordinary people to harass, so the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect could handle it well.

But the result disappointed him.

On the first day of the raid, the Demon Sect caused great casualties to the advancing army, even delaying their progress.

In contrast, the Cloud Firmament Sect's gains were few.

...

"You can't handle the harassment from the Demon Sect?"

"Why?"

"I remember that the people of the Demon Sect are afraid of death. As long as they can't return, they wouldn't dare to harass excessively, right?"

Looking at Zhong Cang's puzzled expression, Yue Qianqian and Zhou Cang both looked embarrassed.

It was Zhong Cang's uncle, Zhong Kangping, who spoke for them.

"Cough, it's not the fault of the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect. The bastards of the Demon Sect are too despicable. They themselves didn't take action but instead let blood corpses, puppets, and demons harass."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and soon, a blood corpse bound by chains and sealed with talismans came into Zhong Cang's view.

At the first sight of it, Zhong Cang understood why the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect couldn't protect the entire army.

The Yunxiao Army had too many soldiers, and their range of movement was large. The disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect numbered only a few hundred and couldn't take care of everyone.

If that was all, it would be fine. The disciples of the Demon Sect were afraid of death, and to put it bluntly, their lives were more valuable than those of ordinary soldiers.

As long as the disciples of the Demon Sect couldn't return, and a few hundred or even thousands of them died, it would be a gain for the Cloud Firmament Sect.

And once they were gone, the remaining people would be afraid and wouldn't dare to harass anymore. After all, the disciples of the Demon Sect only cared about their own interests and had no spirit. They wouldn't risk their lives for the sect.

But the existence of blood corpses, puppets, and demons changed the situation.

Harassing with blood corpses could also cause significant casualties to ordinary soldiers.

More importantly, blood corpses were just "objects." Their deaths wouldn't be linked to the disciples of the Demon Sect. Therefore, the members of the Demon Sect with intact bodies could naturally continue to attack without fear.

Such continuous harassment might not affect the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, but it would cause casualties to the army and make the soldiers fearful.

Realizing that the situation was not right and unable to handle it themselves, it was no wonder that Yue Qianqian and the others came to find him...

"Hmm?"

Just as Zhong Cang was contemplating, a voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Hehe, you must be Zhong Cang, right? Daring to launch an attack on our Four Great Demon Sects and slaughter the nobles of a city. I have to say, you are brave and cruel enough. Many of us in the Demon Sect don't have your ruthless methods."

"But you are also truly foolish. Can you tell me who gave you the courage to dare to attack us?"

"Hey hey, let me say something. I have a question for this idiot... Zhong Cang, could it be that you are a spy for our Demon Sect?"

"Hehe, even if it wasn't before, it is now. Sending so much blood food over and giving us an opportunity to defeat the Cloud Firmament Sect, many of our elders want to thank you."

"You bastard!"

The voice came from the sealed blood corpse's mouth. Upon hearing such mockery, especially the accusation that Zhong Cang was a traitor, Zhong Kang's face immediately changed. He reached out his palm, wanting to crush the blood corpse's head and interrupt the ridicule and slander from the other side.

However, his attack was blocked by Zhong Cang.

"Cang'er?"

"It's fine, Uncle. I have a question I want to ask them."

Compared to the anxious Zhong Kang, the angry Yue Qianqian and Zhou Cang, Zhong Cang's expression remained calm.

After stopping his uncle's attack, he calmly asked, "Since you have such means of harassment, why didn't you use them on the previous journey?"

"Hahaha, if you want to know, this lord... won't tell you."

"Hehe, call this lord 'father' and let me hear it. If you call it nicely, this lord doesn't mind telling you the answer, hahaha..."

Dozens of miles away from the military camp, in a fresh underground cave, several disciples of the demonic sect were using a blood-colored crystal to communicate with the blood corpse. They were laughing wildly because they could mock and taunt Zhong Cang.

Moreover, the opportunity to mock Zhong Cang, a peerless genius, was rare. In order to satisfy their own desires, they even fought over it in the cave. Furthermore, their taunting words became more and more malicious.

Upon hearing these unbearable words, Yue Qianqian had already drawn her sword, wanting to cut off the blood corpse's head and sever the connection.

On the other hand, Zhong Cang's expression remained calm.

Through the blood crystal and the eyes of the blood corpse, the demonic sect disciples on the other side could see Zhong Cang's expression.

And his calm and indifferent expression made them angry.

"Hmph, you're pretending quite well. You, a bastard, must really want to kill us."

To this, Zhong Cang nodded:

"I do have that intention and I am prepared to take action soon."

This statement made the disciples of the demonic sect laugh even more recklessly.

"Hahaha, you can only think about it. At this moment, I am thousands of miles away. No matter how angry you are, you can only watch helplessly as we harass and attack you."

"Wait and see, we will tear apart and crush your army bit by bit, leaving all of you behind. And you, don't even think about catching us. You can only watch us harass you in agony."

"Hehe, I heard you are a peerless genius. I'm so scared. Come and fight us!"

"Hey, should we beg us? If you kneel down and beg for mercy, we might spare your lives."

"Are you planning to let him go?"

"Of course, I'm just tricking him... hahaha..."

Feeling safe, those disciples of the demonic sect burst into laughter and mockery once again.

This finally became unbearable for Yue Qianqian.

However, before she could make a move, Zhong Cang acted first.

Without severing the blood corpse's head, he silenced the ears.

Zhong Cang simply bent his fingers and lightly flicked the air.

"Clang!"

At the moment of his flick, an illusory sword shadow appeared in front of his fingers.

After being flicked, this sword shadow produced a crisp sound that spread throughout the room and transmitted through the blood corpse to the other side.

However, only the people in the room found the sound crisp and pleasant.

On the other side, the disciples of the demonic sect, who were laughing wildly, were instantly silenced as if their necks were being choked.

Moreover, not only did their laughter disappear, an extreme chill and fear also appeared in their hearts.

"Danger..."

"It's impossible. We hid well, and we are far away from him. Besides, he hasn't made a move..."

"Why is there a sword in my soul..."

"No!"

"Spare me!"

"Please spare me..."

They felt that something was wrong. One clever disciple of the demonic sect even thought of something and immediately reached out his hand towards the crystal, wanting to sever the connection between the crystal and the blood corpse.

Unfortunately, it was too late for everything.

When the sword sound rang out, the Sword Intent of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art was transmitted to their minds and souls through the sound.

With the connection established, the Sword Intent in Zhong Cang's soul directly attacked.

"Sizzle..."

As expected, the strength of Zhong Cang's soul was at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, and the quality of his Sword Intent was extremely high.

On the other hand, their souls were not only weak, but they also couldn't comprehend it, unable to unify their soul power.

As a result, Zhong Cang's Sword Intent easily shattered their souls.

After several strikes, Zhong Cang's Sword Intent fell silent, and there was no sound from the other side.

Silence once again enveloped his cultivation hut.

This scene also stunned the furious Zhou Cang and Yue Qianqian.

After a long while, they finally reacted and asked incredulously,

"You can attack enemies from thousands of miles away?!!"
