"You mean, a mysterious woman suddenly appeared and wiped out four major sects in an instant, causing the Myriad Tribulations Sect to flee in disarray."

"The Wan Jie Sect not only failed to escape, but was also caught up by that mysterious woman."

"In the end, the entire army was wiped out?!"

......

Inside the main hall of the Yunxiao Sect.

Upon hearing the report from Danfeng Peak Master Yun Lan, Yun Zhongzi, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up in surprise.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Yunlan nodded and then said, "His strength is at least at the Great Saint Realm."

"......."

Yun Zhongzi frowned and fell silent.

The other high-ranking members of the Cloud Soaring Sect looked at each other, each with a different expression.

They were all wondering who that mysterious woman was.

The support came from the main sect, or from a powerful figure who had been hiding within their sect all along.

The atmosphere inside the main hall.

It fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

A moment later.

Sword Peak Master Yun Yang broke the silence and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, according to what Yun Lan just said, that mysterious woman flew out of the sect. Could it be a contingency plan left by the founding patriarch?"

“I think it’s unlikely. If it was a contingency plan left by the founder of the sect, why wouldn’t he have explained it?” Yun Yao, the peak master of Misty Peak, denied.

Yun Zhongzi did not speak immediately.

Instead, they turned their gaze to the six patriarchs of the major lineages, who had their eyes closed.

"Elders, did our patriarch really not leave any backup plan?"

Elder Yun slowly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said, "Ancestor, he went to the battlefield outside the realm and never came back. There was no time to leave any backup plan."

Another white-robed patriarch opened his eyes and added, "Back then, I accompanied my patriarch to the outer battlefield, and I personally witnessed him penetrate deep into the heart of the outer battlefield."

Hearing what the two elders said...

This once again caused everyone present, including the high-ranking members of the Cloud Soaring Sect, to frown and fall silent.

Who exactly is this mysterious woman?

"Why are you all so hung up on this?"

Yun Lie, the hot-tempered peak master of Daofeng, shouted, "That mysterious expert saved my Yunxiao Sect, which means he is not an enemy but a friend."

Why bother worrying about it?

"Yun Lie, your words have awakened me from my dream."

Elder Yun stroked his white beard and nodded, saying, "Regardless of who that mysterious woman is, it is a fact that she saved the Yunxiao Sect."

"The fact that she didn't want to explain and left without saying a word shows that she didn't want us to disturb her cultivation."

“If we continue to investigate, we will only offend her.”

"For our Cloud Soaring Sect, that would be repaying kindness with enmity."

Speaking of which...

Elder Yun glanced at Yun Zhongzi, then made the final decision: "Let's leave it at that."

"I will obey the ancestor's command."

Yun Zhongzi and the others also thought it made sense, and they seemed to cup their hands in greeting as they said in unison.

The meeting soon ended...

The five elders returned to the forbidden area to continue healing their wounds.

They were seriously injured by two peak Saint Realm cultivators from the Myriad Tribulations Sect.

It won't get better in less than a year and a half.

Only Elder Yun, whose strength had been restored, remained outside to repair the protective array of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

The other peak masters cleaned up the mess and stabilized the disciples of the entire sect.

This battle also forced out many disciples who were not firm in their stance.

Expel him from the sect immediately and never employ him again!

Without these destabilizing factors, the Cloud Soaring Sect will become a unified entity.

Unite as one and face external threats together.

However, everyone was busy with their own affairs, except for Yun Lan, the peak master of Danfeng, who was left behind by Yun Zhongzi.

The main point is to ask him about a guess he made earlier.

Could all of this be a contingency plan left by Yun Hezi for the sect before his death?

After all, as a grandmaster of alchemy, he had made countless powerful acquaintances.

He even has quite a few followers.

This is the profound knowledge and expertise of a grandmaster of alchemy.

Who knows, that mysterious female powerhouse might be the same powerhouse that Yun Hezi saved back then.

Now, I come to repay this kindness.

Perhaps, I want to know if my guess is correct.

Go to Medicine King Valley and ask Gu Xuan, Yun Hezi's only closed-door disciple, and you'll know.

He dismissed Yunlan.

Yun Zhongzi was on his way to Medicine King Valley...

Suddenly, a strong voice came from outside the mountain gate.

"Fellow Daoists of the Cloud Soaring Sect, I am Yun Canghai. I have come to offer my assistance on the orders of the Grand Master!"

"Has the Souzo's reinforcements arrived?"

Yun Zhongzi paused, his face showing surprise.

To everyone's surprise, the person sent by the main sect to provide support was none other than Yun Canghai, a peak Great Saint Realm expert who had been famous in the Central Region Holy Land for a long time.

This man possessed unparalleled swordsmanship, having grasped the essence of the sword, earning him the nickname "Blind Swordsman."

He ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly Dao Ranking.

His identity is that of the Sixth Elder of the Inner Sect of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Although they arrived late, they were, after all, people sent by the upper sect, and must be treated with respect.

Then it changed direction and transformed into a divine rainbow, rushing towards the mountain gate.

On other peaks of the Cloud Soaring Sect, streaks of divine rainbows also shot into the sky, closely following behind.

Elder Yun is repairing the mountain-protecting array, which is closest to the mountain gate.

He immediately went to Yun Canghai's side.

This is an unkempt middle-aged man with long hair casually draped over his shoulders, resembling unrestrained and wild cursive script.

Beneath his coarse linen clothes, his unrestrained and unconventional nature was undeniable.

Like an untamed sword intent, it roams the mortal world.

The sense of relaxation emanates from within, revealing a composed demeanor.

His slender eyebrows carried a hint of arrogance.

Below are a pair of deep, dark eyes, as if they could see through everything in the world.

With a straight nose and slightly upturned lips, he exudes a calm and composed demeanor, like a wise man in the mortal world.
