"I have decided to join the Tianyi Sect. Is there anyone who objects?" The Sect Master spoke with his spiritual power, and everyone present heard him clearly.
Some time has passed since the departure of the formation, and almost everyone who was not originally going to come has arrived, except for the disciples who went out to do missions.
All the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion are here.
For a moment, there was complete silence; no one spoke.
Compared to the newly recruited young disciples of the Sword Pavilion, the sect leader and elders are the ones who are suffering the most.
"Will the Supreme Elder be dissatisfied after returning to the Pavilion?" someone asked in a low voice.
The Supreme Elder chased after Old Ancestor Qin and wouldn't be back to the Myriad Swords Pavilion for a while. But if he did return one day and found that the Myriad Swords Pavilion had changed hands, even if all of them were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to vent the Supreme Elder's anger.
Within the formation, communication with the outside world is impossible.
But the Pavilion Master was also uneasy.
For the past few hundred years, the Supreme Elder has been searching for a way to safely break through to higher realms.
It has already appeared.
The person with this ability is the woman from earlier.
If the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion were to be entirely incorporated into the Heavenly One Sect, wouldn't that mean Fang Ruotang would also help their Supreme Elder, and in that case, the Supreme Elder wouldn't say anything?
Fang Ruotang had the little mirror keep an eye on the situation outside. Seeing that they had made a decision, she immediately came out of the cover. Gu Yanjin and the other six followed her out of concern.
Others wanted to join in, but Fang Ruotang didn't allow it.
After all, the formation absorbs people's cultivation, and since their cultivation was already low, it would become even more unbearable after being absorbed.
"You've agreed?"
"Yes! Please, Sect Leader Fang, take action."
Fang Ruotang nodded and readily said, "Okay! But there's one thing I need to make clear beforehand. Although your Wanjian Pavilion has agreed to merge into Tianyi Sect, I don't accept just anyone. I won't take everyone."
"What do you mean? Not saving everyone?" The sect leader's face was grim.
Fang Ruotang shook her head and said, "That's not it. I can solve the formation and save people, but not everyone is qualified to join my Tianyi Sect, understand? Those I choose, you will submit to my Tianyi Sect. Those I don't want, you will leave this place, whether you join another sect or rebuild the Wanjian Pavilion, it's all fine."
They started whispering among themselves.
Even the Pavilion Master's expression changed, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
Fang Ruotang chuckled and said, "Don't even think about it. I will definitely keep you. Besides, if I don't want someone, it means that he holds a grudge against me and blames me for taking advantage of his misfortune. If even you think that way, I will never accept Wanjian Pavilion."
The pavilion master had a thoughtful expression.
Fang Ruotang didn't hesitate. With the help of the small mirror, she saw the complete picture of the ancient magic array, which was fortunately an incomplete one.
Even so, no one can solve it.
However, it seems that anything associated with the word "ancient" is particularly powerful, since what has survived to this day is not just scrap metal.
Take this pestle, aim it at this key point of the formation, and forcefully insert it, pouring spiritual energy into it.
Oh, that's pretty simple.
【What's so simple about it! It'll just drain your energy again.】
The little mirror is annoying and worrying.
The adults don't listen to me at all.
Fang Ruotang ignored him, and he yelled and ordered Gu Yanjin and six others to protect Fang Ruotang, while pointing out several other people.
[Keep a close eye on them. They harbor a high level of malice towards you, and they might try to ambush you after you dispel the formation.]
The six of them glanced at it discreetly.
Of the five people identified by the small mirror, two were elders and three were disciples.
The lowest level is the Nascent Soul stage.
"Rong Xing, keep a close eye on Xiao Liu and make sure no one else gets hurt in the chaos. The five of us will handle them," Gu Yanjin said.
None of the other five objected.
Although the six of them were roughly equal in strength, there was still a gap between them. The most powerful among them was Huo Zhige, after all, he was originally a military general, which was much stronger than a civil official. He had never relaxed his training.
Then there are Rong Xing and Gu Yanjin. Rong Xing is meticulous, and Gu Yanjin asked him to guard Fang Ruotang, which he feels more at ease with. He and Huo Zhige will deal with the two elders on the other side.
The other three faced off against the three personal disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
"You guys finish this quickly, and then come help me and Huo Zhige." Gu Yanjin didn't overestimate himself, knowing that he currently had no chance of winning against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator alone.
Huo Zhige glanced at Gu Yanjin but did not object.
Their strengths were roughly equal; if Gu Yanjin couldn't kill a Nascent Soul stage expert in one fell swoop, neither could he.
Fang Ruotang could talk to the little mirror without anyone knowing. She was used to communicating with the little mirror and drawing board when no one was around. Now, it was just a matter of a thought for her.
However, the others were unable to do this, so Fang Ruotang heard the six of them discussing it clearly.
Her brows furrowed deeply, and she suddenly spoke from her heart.
[Let me make this clear upfront: if anyone dares to use underhanded tactics while I'm dispelling the formation, don't blame me for taking your lives.]
Fang Ruotang dared not risk the safety of Gu Yanjin and the other six.
She asked the little mirror.
[I channeled my spiritual power into the array's core; is there any energy left?]
【some. 】
Fang Ruotang stopped hesitating and directly poured her spiritual power into the array's core.
The entire formation instantly erupted with dense black mist, which then dissipated inch by inch. Immediately afterward, a cracking sound seemed to reach everyone's ears.
"It's broken! It's broken!"
Someone noticed that their cultivation level had stopped decreasing and immediately cried out in joy, but his cry was like a secret signal.
The five people who had been monitored by the small mirror attacked Fang Ruotang at the same time, and Gu Yanjin and his group of six immediately went to meet them.
The other disciples of the Myriad Swords Pavilion were all stunned.
I don't know which side to help.
"Third Senior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother, what are you doing? Stop it!" The only female elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, True Person Yuan Zhao, suddenly realized what was happening and tried to separate the two sides.
The Third Elder shouted, "Fourth Junior Sister, step back! Killing them is all we need to save our Myriad Swords Pavilion. Do you want to see it destroyed in our hands?"
Master Yuanzhao paused in his attack, but quickly resumed his attack.
"Third senior brother, we cannot do things that betray our promises and forget our duty."
If the other party had simply resorted to various excuses and disputes after saving their Myriad Swords Pavilion, Master Yuanzhao wouldn't have said anything.
But this was repaying kindness with enmity, which was inconsistent with her purpose of cultivation, and she simply could not accept it.
"Stop it, all of you!" The sect leader joined in.
[My lord, seize this opportunity to kill them quickly. Otherwise, once we stop, they will surely beg you to spare these five men. These five men were extremely hostile towards you just now; such people cannot be allowed to live.]
The little mirror urged anxiously.
This is something that even without him saying it, all five men understand.
Just as the Pavilion Master and True Person Yuan Zhao were entangled with the two elders, Gu Yanjin and Huo Zhige used their magical artifacts to break through their defenses from a tricky angle, piercing through their dantian with a single sword strike.
