Fang Ruotang watched as the disciples in front of her were fighting fiercely. Some of them, whose cultivation levels were not high, were coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground in just one exchange.

Fortunately, although the sects like Qingyun Sect used the pretext of seeking revenge to destroy his sect, they still had some sense of shame.

Only disciples with too low a cultivation level fainted because they couldn't withstand the pressure from the two powerful figures. There were no high-level cultivators specifically targeting low-level cultivators.

The opponents chosen by both sides were almost all cultivators of similar skill level.

They fought to the death for a time.

In Fang Ruotang's eyes, it was a chaotic jumble of skills, after all, there were so many people present, covering almost every spiritual root attribute.

Mutated spiritual roots such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice have all emerged.

There are only spiritual roots that Fang Ruotang doesn't yet understand; there are none that she knows but cannot find here.

"Will this fight last a long time?" Fang Ruotang watched silently, feeling that the battle would end soon.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw two powerful figures descend from above them like bolts of lightning into the distance.

"Did a powerful figure from the Heavenly Gang Sect lure away an equally powerful one?"

"Yes, sir, that was their Grand Elder, the one with the highest cultivation level besides the Supreme Elder."

【Huh, what about him?】

[It will fall.]

【Oh, how about I save him when he's about to die, and then bring him to our Tianyi Sect as an elder?】

[The one who just chased after him was an elder from the Qingyun Sect. Although both were at the Tribulation Transcending stage, the Lesser Mirror Realm is different. In a prolonged battle, the elder from the Tiangang Sect would definitely be no match for him.]

[Nonsense, you don't need to tell me. You already said he would perish; he must have been killed because he couldn't win! Just tell me what his character was like besides his high cultivation level.]

He is a legitimate successor, cultivating righteous energy, completely different from the Supreme Elder.

Fang Ruotang clapped her hands and said, "Alright, I'll save him! By the way, how is their sect leader? Where is he?"

Not only was it a complete mess, but there were also all sorts of dazzling skills. Given the distance Fang Ruotang was from, she naturally couldn't see the real thing clearly.

The sect leader is definitely guarding the main gate!

As soon as Xiao Jingzi finished speaking, Fang Ruotang saw several more figures fly over her head. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are these again?"

[He was an elder of Burning Heaven Valley. Their sect was entirely based on fire, cultivating a supreme body and achieving physical sainthood. Disciples had to jump into lava to temper their bodies. He had taken in a talented disciple who could inherit his mantle, but he was killed by True Person Renwei.]

[So it was Li Sheng's master! I remember him, he looked like a little stick figure, quite funny! It seems that guided by the talisman, he also returned to the sect and found his master.]

After Fang Ruotang received Xinghe, she saw that she still had more than a dozen pieces of jade in her hand. That night, she asked Xiao Jingzi for a solution and rescued them. She then tore up the paper figures, stuffed their souls into each paper figure, and let them leave.

Although she personally sent each disciple to each sect and would receive a generous reward if nothing unexpected happened, Fang Ruotang was not that greedy.

The main reason was that she had finally arrived in the Cloud Deep Continent, and she didn't want to be like an old woman, running errands for these people.

Anyway, these people are kind-hearted, and if she encounters them again in the future, she will definitely be rewarded. If they don't give her anything, she won't have any complaints, since it was just something she did on a whim.

Fang Ruotang watched as the elders of the Tiangang Sect flew away, each followed by several others, and she fell silent for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Cui Shixu noticed that Fang Ruotang suddenly seemed downcast.

Fang Ruotang shook her head. "It's nothing, I just don't know which path to follow, or who to save."

"You don't need to think about these things. We've already investigated beforehand. Didn't you notice that Wuxia and Rongxing aren't here?"

"Elder, we have finally decided to save three people. I am staying here because I have calculated that the sect leader will probably not leave the sect and will stick to it. Rong Xing will try to win over the Grand Elder, and Wu Xia will try to win over the Seventh Elder of their Tian Gang Sect."

Why the three of them?

Fang Ruotang was puzzled. She hadn't really looked into the Tiangang Sect in detail; she had only said she wanted to recruit their members, and hadn't cared about anything else.

"Needless to say, the sect leader has influence as long as he's around. He joined our Tianyi Sect, and for the sake of his disciples, he would actively encourage them to join our sect. The Grand Elder has the highest cultivation level, and the Seventh Elder is the only female elder in the Tiangang Sect. She has a kind personality and is deeply loved by the disciples in the sect. She is the most popular elder."

"So that's how it is!" Fang Ruotang said, both amused and exasperated.

"As for the other elders, according to Xiao Jingzi's information, there are indeed fewer corrupt officials within the Tiangang Sect than in other sects. Moreover, they are straightforward and honest, somewhat similar to sword cultivators, but not quite the same. They are a group of people who are very stubborn. So if you want to recruit new members, you have to win them over. Otherwise, these people may be willing to live and die with the sect."

While Cui Shixu was talking to Fang Ruotang, his attention was always on the front. He couldn't see the specific situation inside the Tiangang Sect clearly, but he could roughly guess from the movements.

With so many major sects simultaneously besieging the Tiangang Sect, it's already quite remarkable that they were able to resist for several days.

Therefore, once the sect's protective formation fails, they will be like lambs to the slaughter.

"Little Six, that's enough. I have to go to the front lines. You go back to the county and wait for me. I'll come back to find you after I've finished my business here."

"I'll go with you!"

Cui Shixu smiled gently and coaxed, "Be good, go back! I'll come as soon as I'm done."

"You're so strange. I'm already here, of course I have to go and see!" Fang Ruotang gave Cui Shixu a strange look.

Once she put her little brain to work, she realized that he was just using the excuse of doing what was best for her to treat her like a porcelain doll, and that it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

"The battlefield will be somewhat... bloody."

Cui Shixu spoke.

Fang Ruotang had an "I knew it" look on her face.

Without even replying, he summoned his sword and went straight there.

Cui Shixu immediately followed after him with a worried expression.

Everyone else followed behind except him.

Cui Shixu was not alone; he also had fellow disciples.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Tiangang Sect, this group of people was also their enemy who came to destroy their sect.

One of the disciples was knocked back several steps by the opponent and reached Fang Ruotang. Fang Ruotang used her spiritual power to help him up so that he wouldn't fall.

But as soon as the man turned his head, his eyes turned bloodshot and he thrust his sword at Fang Ruotang.

Cui Shixu blocked with his sword, sending the already exhausted male cultivator flying and causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

He glared at Fang Ruotang with hatred, then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
