The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao looked around; by this point, the fight was basically coming to an end, with casualties on both sides.

Of course, the Kao Shan Sect had suffered far more losses than Lingxiao Mountain.

Out of the eight hundred cultivators who had come, about only two hundred remained. In other words, around six hundred had died, giving a death toll as high as three-quarters...

While on Lingxiao Mountain's side, the number of losses was just over two hundred, one third of the Kao Shan Sect's.

This was the disparity between the two powers, a gap in their core strength.

Keep in mind that before this, Lingxiao Mountain had already had a blast fighting the Yijian Sect, and still had this level of strength left, which clearly showed that Kao Shan Sect was far inferior to Lingxiao Mountain.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this fight, so bracing indeed," Tang Rao muttered to himself.

"Hey, Elder Niu Ben is quite powerful in combat," Tang Rao noticed Niu Ben, and since Niu Ben was an elder, he couldn't just hide with the rest of them— he had participated in the previous battle.

Moreover, Tang Rao could not sway Niu Ben's temperament. Although usually amiable, Niu Ben had his own convictions and persistence. On this, Tang Rao would not express any opinions, as each person has their own way of life and principles of conduct.

Niu Ben was a first-level Heavenly Immortal, and he was up against two opponents of the same level. Fighting two at once, Niu Ben didn't fall behind in the slightest.

As for Sun Kuangjiang, that guy was also fierce, completely dominating a fifth-level Heavenly Immortal from Lingxiao Mountain, leaving his opponent gasping for breath.

Like Sun Kuangjiang and Niu Ben, if the combat involved cultivators of the same level, the Kao Shan Sect cultivators were generally much studier than those from Lingxiao Mountain.

After all, Kao Shan Sect was once a top force, having produced cultivators at the Immortal Emperor level. Passed down from generation to generation, the Kao Shan Heart Method, even though not fully comprehended by current Kao Shan Sect disciples, was still from an Immortal Emperor-level cultivator.

Whether Lingxiao Mountain or Yijian Sect, when it came to the level of the Immortal Techniques, they couldn't compare to the Kao Shan Heart Method of the Kao Shan Sect.

"What the hell is this fighting..." But soon, Tang Rao started to look at it with disdain.

This was a battle involving thousands of people, this was war!

Since it was war, it needed strategies.

Look at how you're fighting, everyone for themselves, I can hardly watch...

If this continues, I'm afraid people like Sun Kuangjiang and Elder Niu Ben are going to bite the dust, after all, Lingxiao Mountain has overwhelming numbers. And those scum from Yijian Sect are very sly, just shamelessly watching without rushing to help.

Probably they have received instructions from Jin Muyang, to strike only after Kao Shan Sect disciples are completely worn out.

This way, the threat of Kao Shan Sect after the battle could be minimized to the least.

Truly quite cunning.

Tang Rao looked up at the sky, He Kaoshan, Jin Muyang, and Cheng Cangqiong were still locked in fierce battle.

However, it was evident that Jin Muyang was merely dragging his feet, spectating.

It seemed He Kaoshan didn't care about the life and death of the Kao Shan Sect disciples either, just fighting Cheng Cangqiong in a neither too hot nor too cold manner.

Frankly, Tang Rao couldn't stand it anymore.

He Kaoshan, this is too much from you. It's okay to have big plans, but to be so uncaring about your own sect members is too shameless.

At the end of the day, you are the head of Kao Shan Sect. If the core strength of Kao Shan Sect is wiped out, what is Kao Shan Sect then.

After that, it'll be even easier for Yijian Sect to take over.

Don't tell me you've already calculated that you can kill Jin Muyang. In this world, you are not the only one who can scheme, neither Jin Muyang nor Cheng Cangqiong are simple characters; it's impossible for them to foolishly wait for you to trap them.

"Forget it, I'll have to step in regardless." Tang Rao shook his head and with a flamboyant gesture, threw his hands back.

"Elder Sun, come over here!" Tang Rao shouted.

Upon hearing Tang Rao's voice, Sun Kuangjiang was initially stunned, then he slapped his hand out, directly withdrew from the fight, and retreated to Tang Rao's side.

"How did you manage to come out?" Sun Kuangjiang asked in a low voice. Since the battle began, he hadn't seen Tang Rao and the few others; they must have been hiding. So why had they run out now? It was so dangerous.

"If I didn't come out, you all would have been wiped out," Tang Rao said.

Sun Kuangjiang fell silent.

The losses of the Kao Shan Sect were greater than he had imagined, and He Kaoshan was even more indifferent than he had thought.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before they were all killed, just like the total wipeout Tang Rao had mentioned.

"What should we do now? Escape?" Sun Kuangjiang asked.

"Escape my ass. How embarrassing would that be? Come on, gather the remaining people from our Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao said.

Sun Kuangjiang was somewhat puzzled by Tang Rao's intentions. Gather the remaining people? For what? To launch a final all-out attack? But that would still lead to certain death.

"Hurry up, we don't have much time," Tang Rao shouted.

"Alright!" Sun Kuangjiang gritted his teeth, now he could only choose to trust Tang Rao.

"Everyone, disengage from the fight and rally!" Sun Kuangjiang yelled out.

Apart from He Kaoshan, Sun Kuangjiang essentially had the highest authority in the Kao Shan Sect.

Hearing Sun Kuangjiang's shout, the remaining cultivators obeyed, quickly disengaging from combat and retreating to the vicinity of Sun Kuangjiang and Tang Rao.

Soon, the remaining two hundred or so people from the Kao Shan Sect had gathered.

About ten elders were of the Heavenly Immortal Level, and the rest were at the Earth Immortal level.

Seeing the people from the Kao Shan Sect retreating and assembling, the cultivators of Lingxiao Mountain did not immediately pursue and attack. Since they were unsure of their intent, they dared not act recklessly.

"Tang Rao, everyone's gathered. What now?" Sun Kuangjiang asked.

Without wasting words, Tang Rao immediately handed out small number tags to everyone, numbered from 1 to 210. Numbers 1 to 10 were for the Heavenly Immortal Level elders, and the rest were Earth Immortal level ordinary sect members.

"Do you want to die?" Tang Rao looked at these Kao Shan Sect cultivators, confused, many of whom were wounded.

"Want to die? Are you kidding? Of course, we don't!" came a reply.

"Who would want to die? But with the situation at hand..."

"By the way, who are you?"

Everyone was looking at Tang Rao, some wary, some sorrowful, some in despair...

"If you don't want to die, cast aside all other thoughts and follow my command," Tang Rao continued to speak.

Many people were stunned. What, follow your command? Are you joking?

But those high-ranking elders who were aware of Tang Rao's methods began to show some hope and brightness in their eyes. It was entirely due to Tang Rao's instigation that Yijian Sect and Lingxiao Mountain started fighting. If not for Tang Rao, the first target of Lingxiao Mountain would have been the Kao Shan Sect.

"You don't need to worry about who I am. In any case, you don't have a choice right now. Either rush back to your deaths or listen to me, and there might be a chance to survive," Tang Rao said, unconcerned by the doubtful gazes and speaking for himself.

"I agree," Sun Kuangjiang was the first to raise his hand in support.

"I also agree."

"And me!"

"Old man trusts you too!" Following Sun Kuangjiang raising his hand, several other elders also raised their hands, indicating their willingness to follow Tang Rao's orders.

Because they knew Tang Rao's capabilities.

The ordinary members of the Kao Shan Sect were baffled. What was going on? Why had these elders all agreed?
