Chapter 74: The Strength of the Loose Cultivators' Union! (Please read! Please save! Please recommend!)

Li Mufeng had already anticipated that the seven sects would recruit him.

Fortunately, the favors he had done for Hong Fu and Li Huayuan before came into play. The conscription order did not require him to go to the front line alone immediately, but gave Li Mufeng some time to gather the scattered cultivators.

Looking at the seven sects recruitment order in front of him, Li Mufeng fell into a doze.

He had already anticipated the invasion of the Demonic Path, and the Sharks under his command had already sent back the information when the Demonic Path invaded the Jiang and Cheqi countries.

The news from Yue State spread so quickly, and it was all thanks to him.

Several years ago, he had already found a new place to settle down in Changzhou, Dongyu Kingdom.

This was also the reason why Jiang Kui and the people from Xuanjian Village were sent to Dongyu Kingdom.

The bases of the Black Evil Guards and the Evil Demon Guards began to be relocated as early as two and a half years ago, and have now been almost completed.

The last batch of people will be led by Emperor Yue to retreat to Dongyu Kingdom, but not now. What he is going to do next will require a lot of manpower.

The only one left is this last group of independent cultivators.

In recent years, the development of the Casual Practitioners' Union has been very rapid because of the support of Li Mufeng.

After the influence of the Loose Cultivators' Union expanded to several other surrounding countries, Li Mufeng gradually became bolder.

It is no longer limited to three or two Foundation Establishment Pills, but often ten Foundation Establishment Pills will appear.

It is a fact that the price of Foundation Establishment Pills from the Loose Cultivators' Association is very expensive, and its premium is almost double.

However, the Independent Cultivators Association also provides methods for earning points. It may take twenty years to earn these points by one person, but many times an Independent Cultivator is not necessarily alone.

For example, two Taoist partners, brothers, family members, and some newly emerging small Qi-refining families.

These strategies were not taken by one person alone, but were all about concentrating points on one person. They had the task points of several people, plus the points exchanged for their essence and blood, plus some of their own adventures, and Foundation Establishment Pills had already begun to be exchanged by independent cultivators.

There are now more than fifty foundation-building independent cultivators registered in the Independent Cultivators' Union, but more than ten of them were arranged by Li Mufeng himself.

Excluding those foundation-building cultivators from neighboring countries, there are already more than twenty registered cultivators in the Cultivator's Union, including the new foundation-building cultivators who were added this year.

These are definitely not all of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in Yue Country, but they are definitely the majority of them.

With the growth of the power of the Loose Cultivators' Union and the joining of cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the loose cultivators of Yue State also gave the Loose Cultivators' Union face and acknowledged its leadership over the loose cultivators. They came to the Loose Cultivators' Union and registered their names there. Occasionally, they would come to complete a few tasks in exchange for some elixirs they needed.

However, it is difficult to mobilize this group of people. Firstly, they are all used to being idle and it is impossible for them to obey orders from others. Secondly, they are dispersed too widely.

But things are different now, because of the invasion of the demonic sects and the strength of the seven sects' recruitment order, except for those Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who had already received the news and fled, and those idiots who tried to go against the authority of the seven sects and seek death, basically everyone has gathered in the Jingzhou Cultivator Union.

Currently, the high-level combat forces of the Loose Cultivators' Union, apart from Li Mufeng, who is obviously a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, are Jiang Chuan and Jiang Jing, who are both in the middle Foundation Establishment stage.

Then six more.

Soul-shaking Bell·Gongyang Jingshan·Early Stage of Foundation Building

Soft Silver Sword·Gong Yulun·Early Stage of Foundation Building
Wu Wang Sword·Fan Pei, Early Stage of Foundation Building

Hunyuan Gourd·Tao Chang·Early Stage of Foundation Building

These six people, together with Qin Gang, An Puyu, Zhu Yan, Qiong Long, Qiu Tong, and Gong Jianqu who had already gone to the Chaos Star Sea to obey Su Feiyan's orders, are the twelve people that Li Mufeng selected from among the casual cultivators after layers of screening and the baptism of battle.

Almost all of these people were equipped with two top-grade magical weapons, but most of them were flying swords. Before, there were not enough top-grade magical weapons. Later, after Jiang Kui led Xuanjian Village to rely on him, he bought some from Xuanjian Village and replaced them with them.

The fighting power of these twelve people is not inferior to those elite disciples of the sects. Compared with those truly top-notch people, they only lack talismans and intermediate talismans!
In addition to Li Mufeng's own people, there are actually quite a few powerful people among the independent cultivators.

The silver soft whip of the middle stage of foundation building - Ma Jing, the sky-splitting spear of the middle stage of foundation building - Wei Shi, the yellow earth miasma of the middle stage of foundation building - Quan Mingjie, the wind and fire stick of the early stage of foundation building - Yue Gu.
These guys who are at the top of the list of independent cultivators are not much better than the sect disciples in terms of intelligence and strength, and the techniques they practice are also the first type of techniques that pursue supernatural powers.

The rest are relatively ordinary people. Some of them do not have top-level magic weapons, some have practiced the second type of exercises that pursue speed of practice, and some have insufficient cultivation.

As for the Qi-refining monks, needless to say, they are nothing more than cannon fodder in such a battle.

After sorting out the current strength of the Casual Cultivators' Union, Li Mufeng opened his eyes and said to Gong Yang Jingshan on the side.

"Jingshan, go call everyone outside in."

Xuelan still stood behind him with an indifferent expression.

Not long after Gongyang Jingshan went out, more than twenty independent cultivators rushed in at once. Li Mufeng counted them with his spiritual sense and found that there were twenty-six people in total.

As everyone came in, they all started shouting something in a noisy manner, but the general meaning was the same.

"Master President, now the demons are invading Yue Country, and the seven sects want us to die. What should we do?"

In fact, these independent cultivators are completely different from the cultivators of the Seven Sects. They could have run to the surrounding countries, but now the Seven Sects have issued a conscription order, and Huang Mingjie, the Ruyi Gun who had escaped before, has been killed by the Seven Sects!
The purpose of the demonstration is self-evident. Anyone who dares to run will suffer this fate. Of course, the territory of Yue State is so large that anyone who wants to run can definitely run away.

In addition to the unlucky Huang Mingjie, more than a dozen independent cultivators ran away. Of course, the seven sects naturally issued a hunt for them.

The people who came to the guild at this time were either those who had some property in Yue State and were reluctant to give it up, or those who had families and it was inconvenient for them to escape, or those who did not want to contribute to the seven sects but also did not want to be on the seven sects' hunting orders.

"Alright, everyone!"

Li Mufeng raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and began to persuade them.

"Everyone, I'm afraid we still have to help the seven sects resist the invasion of the demons. After all, Yue Kingdom is also our homeland."

"Why?!"

When someone heard what Li Mufeng said, they immediately became unhappy and shouted in dissatisfaction.

It is normal that the independent cultivators are unwilling to help the Seven Sects. The Seven Sects have monopolized the resources. If it weren't for the emergence of the Independent Cultivators' Union, it would be impossible for Yue State to have so many independent cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

Normally you didn't call me when you were distributing resources, but now that there's danger, you want us to go with you?

Why?
This did not even include the usual bullying of independent cultivators by disciples of the seven sects. Many people present had their spiritual medicines robbed.

Ma Jing's original surname was not Ma but Ma. It was because she offended a disciple from Lingshou Mountain and was bitten by the other party's poisonous insect. Her face was ruined and she had pockmarks on her face. She was ridiculed by the world, and so she changed her surname to Ma.

"Why?"

"Why do you ask?"

Li Mufeng's tone suddenly turned cold, and everyone shuddered and instantly became quiet.

"Everyone, do you really think you have the power to choose?"

As he spoke, Li Mufeng took out the recruitment order for the seven sects.

"Others have knives at our necks, where can we run?"

Although Li Mufeng was very majestic, since it involved his own life, he still spoke with a stiff neck.

"We can run!"

Li Mufeng turned his head and looked at the guy who said he was going to run away.

"Run? Where to run?"

"Do you really think those guys from Yuanwu and Zijin are fools who would watch Yue being conquered?"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the surrounding countries have united to resist the devil. Isn't it the same wherever you run to?"

"How much better will your fate be if you flee to other countries? To put it bluntly, even dogs have their own territory. Do you really think you can live there in a swagger?"

"The guys who ran away first will have results soon."

"this."

Li Mufeng's questioning made the man feel extremely embarrassed, and as for hiding it, that was out of the question.

The Seven Sects would definitely not spend a lot of effort looking for them, but what then?

No matter whether the Demonic Path conquered the Kingdom of Yue or the seven sects defended against the Demonic Path's attack, would those of them who were hiding have any good results?

If the demons win, they will become the opponent's cultivation resources.

If the seven factions win, they will settle old scores.

Li Mufeng's words were very clear, and everyone understood them. Everyone felt a little depressed.

"Everyone, in fact, helping the seven sects to resist the demons is not a bad thing. Yue Country is our home after all. You didn't leave Yue Country right away because you have something you can't bear to leave behind. Going to another country means that you must give up the people or things you can't bear to leave behind."

"And whether it's to get their disciples or us to work together to fight against the devil, the seven sects will definitely provide a lot of training resources that they would never have provided before."

"For everyone present here, this is a great opportunity. Maybe the Seven Sects will give you what you need?"

"Besides, it is safer for us scattered cultivators to unite and deal with the situation carefully than for everyone to fly around alone."

Li Mufeng's words became more relaxed.

"Everyone, please think about it carefully. The Seven Sects have given me some time."

After hearing Li Mufeng's words, everyone present left in silence.

Looking at these people leaving, Li Mufeng shook his head.

He also knew that it was unfair to these people!

But sometimes the world is unfair.

We do not have the power to choose heaven or hell, we only have the destiny to be chosen.

The strength of the seven sects is simply not something that a casual cultivator can contend with!

Of course, the seven sects didn't actually expect Li Mufeng and other independent cultivators to contribute anything, they just didn't want them to disrupt the morale of the army.

Once the first person runs, there will be a second, a third, and countless more!

The seven factions must put an end to this momentum!
Of course, the seven sects naturally also had a thought in their minds: why should I fight desperately against the evil in the front while you are escaping leisurely in the back.

I've suffered a lot, so don't even think about running away!
This great war in the world of immortal cultivation that has stirred up several countries has just begun!
The seven sects used Spirit Beast Mountain to gain the trust of the Yuling Sect, and ambushed a team of thousands of cultivators from the Demonic Path. They even killed two Jindan-stage cultivators, dealing a heavy blow to the Demonic Path and causing it to suffer a considerable loss.

This dealt a heavy blow to the six sects of the evil way, causing the people in the seven sects to celebrate and boosting their morale!

The six evil sects became enraged and launched a massive attack.

The seven factions were not to be outdone and deployed their forces to meet the

The two sides fought more than a dozen battles at Jinguyuan, the border between Yue, Cheqi and Jiang. The number of casualties among the cultivators reached tens of thousands, and even seven or eight Jindan stage cultivators were killed. It was extremely tragic!
The strength of the Tianluo Kingdom's demonic sect was simply not something the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom could contend with. After seven or eight battles, the Seven Sects were clearly unable to hold out under the opponent's fierce attacks.

If the seven sects had not set up several large forbidden formations in advance and could rely on them to put up a last-ditch effort, they would have probably been defeated long ago.

Fortunately, at this time, two neighboring medium-sized countries, Zijin Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom, simultaneously extended a helping hand to Yue Kingdom and came to support it overnight.

At this time, Li Mufeng also brought thirty-four foundation-building cultivators and more than a thousand Qi-refining cultivators to Jinguyuan.

The seven sects have issued a final ultimatum to the Free Cultivator Union and the free cultivators themselves.

Almost all the independent cultivators from Yue State who had fled to Yuanwu State and Zijin State were captured.

Seeing that they had no way to escape, the wandering cultivators had no choice but to follow Li Mufeng to Jinguyuan.

However, when Li Mufeng led a group of independent cultivators to Jinguyuan, the cultivators from the sects here did not seem to welcome them.
