Chapter 443 The news had already been spread.
Upon hearing this, Master Lingyun frowned and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
“I’ve thought it through,” Yu Zhiyi said. “However, I don’t want to kill myself. I hope that I will die gloriously in the battle against the demons, at the hands of the enemy, rather than ending my own life. That would be irresponsible to me and my fate.”
Lingyun Zhenren's expression faltered for a moment, and his eyes flickered violently.
"The longer this drags on, the greater the damage to the Heavenly Mystery Sect will be, the less restraint it will have on the Demon Race, and the greater the probability of widespread bloodshed. As the Supreme Elder of the Taixu Sect, even if you don't care about the lives of ordinary people, shouldn't you care about the reputation of the Taixu Sect?"
Master Lingyun regained his senses and resumed his icy demeanor: "You don't need to use reverse psychology. Since you have already agreed, I will naturally keep my promise."
Almost immediately after he finished speaking, a column of soldiers flew out into the sky above the Taixu Sect.
The weakest member of the team was at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and there were also several experts at the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Let's go."
Yu Zhiyi was taken aback, only then realizing that Master Lingyun had summoned a flying sword at some point.
The flying sword came to a steady stop in front of her, its meaning self-evident.
Yu Zhiyi scoffed, "There's no need for you to be like this, Master. The people of Tianji Sect are most averse to owing karma. Since I have already promised you, I will absolutely not go back on my word."
She wanted to jump onto her flying sword, but Master Lingyun repeated, "Get on."
Yu Zhiyi hesitated for only a moment before jumping onto Lingyun Zhenren's flying sword.
Then, the flying sword transformed into a streak of light, leaving the Demon-Slaying Squad behind in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, they weren't too far behind.
Before long, the two teams stopped in front of a teleportation array.
The other end of the teleportation array leads directly to the Heavenly Mystery Gate, eliminating the need for further detours.
Standing outside the teleportation array, Yu Zhiyi looked at the Tianji Sect's mountain peak not far away, her eyes filled with shock: "You actually set up a fixed teleportation array outside the Tianji Sect?"
This kind of thing is not allowed.
Once discovered, the teleportation array being destroyed would be the least of their worries; a battle between the two major sects would be inevitable.
However, this secret was so blatantly exposed right before her eyes.
The Taixu Sect members ignored her shock, and True Person Lingyun showed no intention of explaining.
Yu Zhiyi understood.
She was a dying woman, and all the members of the Heavenly Mystery Sect were trapped in the Demon-Slaying Formation, so even if she wanted to inform on them, she would have no way to do so.
The distance from the teleportation array to the Heavenly Mystery Gate was not long; the group passed through the gate of the Heavenly Mystery Gate in just a moment.
What one sees is so appalling it makes one's eyes widen in horror.
The mountains and fields were littered with the dead and wounded disciples of the Tianji Sect, and even many elders were among them.
Yu Zhiyi clearly remembers that these few disciples and elders showed her considerable kindness. Everyone did their best to teach her their best skills, and some would chat with her when they had nothing to do, talking about all sorts of things.
Now, half of the once vibrant lives have perished, leaving only corpses and mutilation scattered across the ground.
Those who are still alive are incomplete, lacking even the strength to stand up.
"Senior brother! Senior sister!"
Yu Zhiyi wanted to step forward, but an invisible barrier blocked her way: "Don't forget your promise."
Yu Zhiyi suddenly looked at the speaker: "Master Lingyun, these are all my disciples. They are still alive and can be saved! If we delay any longer, many of them will die on the spot!"
Master Lingyun remained silent, but did not release the restraints.
Yu Zhiyi laughed angrily: "I will naturally keep my promise, but your Taixu Sect has miscalculated if you think you can save face. Now, the entire Hidden Realm should know your true colors. Even if I die, the world will know how arrogant, selfish, and utterly inconsiderate you are!"
"The so-called leader of the four major sects is actually a den of iniquity, a place where a group of petty people who cannot distinguish right from wrong, distort the truth, and disregard the well-being of the world for their own selfish gain are gathered. You have failed..."
Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't continue. It was as if her mouth was being controlled by something, and she could no longer open or close it.
She was stunned for only a moment, then gave a silent, cold laugh, her contempt evident.
Master Lingyun's face was ashen: "Those yellow paper cranes are just a decoy. The paper cranes you actually used to cover and transmit messages have already been sent out by you using invisibility talismans. The yellow talismans are just tools to cover up the invisibility paper cranes."
“That’s right.” As soon as she said it, Yu Zhiyi realized that she could actually speak.
She only paused for a moment before realizing that the man in front of her must have placed some kind of restriction on her to prevent her words from being spread through any medium.
But since things had come to this point, she didn't care anymore.
Her goal was never to oppose the Taixu Sect, but to save the Tianji Sect.
No matter how unwilling the Taixu Sect was, they had no choice but to immediately join the attack on the demons, and they even had to spare some people to treat the injured disciples of the Tianji Sect.
The middle-aged man who had previously stopped the first batch of yellow paper cranes finally couldn't help but sneer: "What's the use of all the trouble you've caused? In the end, you're still going to die."
Yu Zhiyi looked at him indifferently: "If one can die a worthy death, what is there to fear?"
Although her strength was clearly the lowest among the three, her aloof and arrogant aura was even more eye-catching than that of Master Lingyun.
With a flick of her wrist, she drew Qingfeng Zhenren's Qingfeng Sword and charged into the distant battle zone.
The middle-aged man's face twitched, and he pointed in the direction Yu Zhiyi had left, fuming with anger: "Elder, this woman is too shameless! She actually dared to take out the Qingfeng Sword in front of us, she's gone too far! She's gone too far!"
Master Lingyun stared intently at the resolute departing figure. After a moment, he drew his sword and followed. "The other major powers will surely use today's events as a reason to attack my Taixu Sect. If you want to salvage your reputation, you must seal all these demons back as soon as possible."
The Demon-Slaying Formation has been broken, and the demons have broken out of the formation, scattering the power of the Heavenly Mystery Sect and causing almost all of the disciples to die or be injured.
Now only the Dongwei Sect Leader, Hongchan Zhenren, and a few other elders are left to struggle on.
The addition of the Taixu Sect gave the Tianji Sect a chance to breathe.
However, before they could completely accept their fate, they saw Yu Zhiyi rush into the demon horde like a shooting star.
Hongchan Zhenren's expression changed drastically: "Yi'er!"
She wanted to go and help, but her foundation was damaged and her strength was not as good as before. The reason she was able to hold on until now was only because she had accumulated a lot of experience when she was at her peak. Moreover, Master Dongwei and others took good care of her and only let her deal with those demons whose realm was not as high as hers.
Even so, she still exhausted her energy and spiritual power.
