"You are the hope of the sect, and possibly the hope of humanity." Jian Wushuang's gaze swept over the cultivators present one by one, his face serious and his eyes determined. His voice was heard by all the cultivators present: "As the leader of the Yanjian Sect, I now order you: From this moment on, you are not allowed to leave the main peak even a single step!"
All the disciples present knew that the "you" the Sect Master was referring to were referring to them. They were confused, unwilling, moved, and uncomfortable, but in the end, all of this turned into one sentence: "I will follow your instructions!"
The main peak of the Yanjian Sect lies at the heart of the territory and is the safest location for the sect. If attacked, the main peak would undoubtedly be the last to be destroyed. The area above the main peak is the strongest region of the sect's protective barrier, which in turn connects to the protective barriers between the various other peaks. Only when all the barriers on the other peaks are broken can the main peak's protective barrier disintegrate. Furthermore, the main peak's meeting hall is one of the Yanjian Sect's best protective devices...
Now, all the direct disciples of Yanjian Sect are not allowed to leave the main peak. The Sect Master and the elders made this decision, obviously considering them as the last spark of hope for inheritance. It also proves that the predecessors are ready to make sacrifices!
They knew this, but at this time, there was nothing they could do but cooperate and not cause trouble.
"Okay, let's act!" Jian Wushuang waved his hand, and his figure instantly disappeared in front of everyone.
Afterward, the stewards who had been standing erect in front of the main hall also flew off the main peak on their swords. They split up into separate groups, each with its own clear direction, having clearly received instructions from the sect beforehand. The elders from each of the various peaks left behind, their eyes silently gazing at their disciples. They seemed to have much to say, but in the end, no one spoke aloud as they rushed off to their respective battlefields!
Wave after wave of heat came down from the sky, as if trying to steam all living things on the ground and deprive them of all life.
The next moment, the Yanjian Sect's protective formation was activated, the heat wave disappeared, and along with it, the loud noises coming from the sky.
They looked up and saw huge fireballs growing from small to large, rushing towards the ground with enthusiasm that could not be ignored, but were shattered by sword energy in mid-air. The broken fireball fragments scattered and fell, most of them disappeared in the air, and only a small part fell on the protective barrier like raindrops, burned for a while, and then slowly dissipated.
"Great!" Yang Kuan exclaimed upon seeing this.
"No, it's terrible!" Yang Kuan looked over and saw that it was Tang Bi, the genius senior sister of Si Zhen Peak. His face fell and he asked hurriedly, "Sister Tang, isn't this okay?"
"The sect's protective formation was strengthened and modified by us a year ago. We conducted tests and found that a fireball that big would either be deflected or extinguished immediately if it hit the barrier. But now..." Tang Bi frowned deeply. "The energy source for the sect's protective barrier comes from the various spiritual materials we've stored at the center of the formation and the sect's earthly spiritual energy. If those fireball fragments fall on the barrier, it will cause a lot of damage, and we can't afford it."
"Is there any way to improve it?" asked Nianshu.
Tang Bi opened her mouth, was silent for a moment, and shook her head.
"The stewards have taken the mortals from the Yanjian Sect's territory into the sect!" A cultivator suddenly exclaimed.
"Junior Brother Zhang, how did you know that?" Shi Lidan excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the disciple's arm and asked.
"You, wait a minute." Although Zhang Qiugong was also wearing the clothes of a direct disciple, he had various props hanging on his body. At this moment, he was holding something like a mirror in his hand. He originally wanted to show it to Shi Lidan, but when he saw that everyone around him was staring at him covetously, he had to change his mind.
He took out a pure white rectangular cloth from his storage bag and threw it into the air in front of everyone's puzzled gazes. The cloth unfolded and hovered in the air. He then pointed the mirror-like prop in his hand at the cloth and quickly cast a spell. Several images soon appeared on the cloth.
In the scene, mortals in middle-aged clothes with disheveled hair gathered in a huge square. Five or six stewards surrounded the square. When the number of people reached a certain number of trees, the stewards activated the teleportation array together, teleporting all the mortals in the square into the Yanjian Sect's barrier...
"This is the inspiration I got from the photo-recording jade and the real-time monitoring of the sect competition. I have been experimenting recently and failed many times. I didn't expect to succeed this time." Zhang Qiugong explained to everyone.
"Mortals don't have spiritual energy. It's definitely not a simple problem to teleport them from the teleportation array over such a long distance to the sect protection barrier. Even if we want to do it by force, it will be very difficult. How did the managers do it?" Tang Bi, who was proficient in formations, was very curious about this.
Her voice was quite loud, and everyone around her heard it, but no one could give her an answer. Tang Bi didn't care. The picture on the cloth changed to another scene. Everyone was attracted and no one noticed her soft muttering: "Could it be Junior Sister Bai Bai? Did she succeed in her research? No, she is no longer here..."
On the white cloth was a small town nestled against the mountains and beside the water. One could see mortals running around in confusion on the streets. Although they could not hear any sounds, they could still imagine how noisy it was there based on their previous experiences.
"That place is too remote. There should be no immortal cultivators who have time to tell them to find a cave to hide in." After watching for a while, a cultivator said reluctantly. In this situation, this is the only way for mortals to survive, but it is only for a short time.
"Oh no, something's happening in the sky!" A monk suddenly exclaimed.
Small fireballs the size of beans began to form from the upper edge of the white cloth. They landed on the Green Mountain in the distance from the town, blasting the top of the Green Mountain apart. A moment later, the fire on the mountain instantly ignited, spreading faster and faster...
