"Young Master! Something terrible has happened!" A servant from the Chen family rushed in, panting heavily with sweat on his face when he saw Chen Zifeng.
"What's going on?" Chen Zifeng frowned. Several of the family's business lines had been sabotaged. Could something else have gone wrong now?
"Young Master, the Immortal Sect..."
"What happened to the Immortal Sect?" His heart skipped a beat.
"The Immortal Sect has been breached! The Sword Pavilion... has been completely annihilated!"
Chen Zifeng jumped to his feet, gripping his servant's shoulders tightly, his eyes blazing with fury. "The entire Jian Ge army has been wiped out?!"
How could that be!
Sword Pavilion is one of the most powerful and prestigious pavilions in the immortal sects!
If that's the case... if that's the case...
The servant wiped his face. "The news that came was... that in order to resist the demonic cultivators, the entire Sword Pavilion sacrificed themselves to the sword..."
Chen Zifeng released the person in front of him, staggered back a few steps, and slumped into a chair.
He propped his head up with his hand, his voice unusually low, "I understand, you can leave now..."
"yes……"
After closing the door, Chen Zifeng remained motionless in the same position.
After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few hoarse laughs, then swayed as he got up and took a brocade box from the shelf.
Inside lay an exquisite sword tassel.
...
Li Mingke and He Xun stood on the mountaintop, watching the battle in the distance, the smell of blood wafting around them.
"The more chaotic the world becomes, the faster my cultivation improves," He Xun sighed.
“Yes, the more desperate a person is, the stronger the power of faith becomes.” Li Mingke’s voice was flat as he calmly watched the battle in the distance.
He Xun pursed her lips. "The cultivation technique I practice is indeed a third-rate one. No wonder no one else cultivates it except me. If I wanted to, I could make this muddy water even muddier, and I'm afraid ascension would be just around the corner." She chuckled. "If one can ascend like this, then I can only say that I'm truly fortunate to have found a loophole in the Heavenly Dao."
Li Mingke smiled faintly, "That's just how the world is. Diligent cultivation doesn't necessarily bring results; sometimes unorthodox methods are more useful." She curled the corners of her mouth, "Sometimes, the way of Heaven is blind."
The two stood there for a while longer. The fight below had almost ended, and groans and curses reached their ears.
Li Mingke turned around and walked down the mountain. "Let's go, it's time for us to make our appearance again."
The wind on the mountaintop billowed their cloaks.
"They're here."
...
The destruction of Sword Pavilion shocked the Three Realms, and the remaining immortal sects desperately headed towards the coast.
As the grandson of the sect leader, Bai Tianshui led a group of immortals in a flight, while Xiao Cai transformed into a giant form and carried them towards the sea.
As early as when she learned of the demonic cultivators' attack, she requested permission to send all combat-ready personnel and divine beasts from Beast Taming Peak to join the Sword Pavilion in resisting the demonic cultivators, but her master, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, stopped her.
"Some people have already gone to resist. What we, the Beast Taming Peak, need to do is retreat with the remaining people and cherish the precious time that the Sword Pavilion has bought for us."
With an unprecedented weight on its back and a long journey ahead, Xiao Cai quickly became unable to hold on, its wing flapping frequency decreased, and its speed slowed down.
"Daytime water, tell your birds to fly faster!" someone complained.
“That’s right, flying so slowly, the demonic cultivators will catch up quickly!” someone echoed.
Bai Tianshui: "Xiao Cai is very tired after flying for too long. It didn't fly so slowly on purpose."
No one spoke.
After a while, someone muttered, "Who knows if it was intentional?"
"The fact that it flies so slowly is to make us grateful to it."
"Shh, keep your voice down! She's the sect leader's granddaughter, the next peak master of Beast Taming Peak! Don't you want to stay in the immortal sect anymore!"
The person who had just spoken immediately jumped up, "What's wrong with the sect leader's granddaughter? Can't we talk about her? And she's the next Beast Taming Peak Master? I've never heard of her!"
"That's what everyone's saying. I heard it was decided inside the door a long time ago..." But the speaker's voice clearly lacked confidence.
"As expected, they're just relying on their status!" the man shouted. "Those inner court people are all arrogant and look down on us outer court people from the bottom of their hearts! They really had ulterior motives for bringing us out this time! Look, we're all on her bird now, isn't she just trying to be our saviors!"
By day, Shui was trembling with anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting! If I hadn't brought you out, you would have been dead long ago, victims of the demonic cultivators!"
The man raised his chin and said, "What are you shouting for? Who's afraid of who! Everyone knows that you, Bai Tianshui, rely on being the sect leader's granddaughter to act arrogantly and domineeringly. Your fellow disciples are all dissatisfied with you!"
"That's right, that's right. We didn't ask you to save us. Dying in the immortal sect will at least leave us with a good reputation for fighting valiantly!"
I almost fainted from the water vapor during the day.
So when she desperately tried to maintain order in the immortal sect and let Xiao Cai carry them to escape, it became her fault!
"Fine! Fine! You want a good reputation? So be it!" she shouted. "Xiao Cai!"
The man who had just been so arrogant was now terrified. "Bai Tianshui, what are you doing!"
"Xiao Cai, throw everyone down here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several people rushed to her feet. "Senior Bai, we didn't say anything! You can't just abandon us!"
Several people grabbed her trouser legs, making her unable to move.
Bai Tianshui looked at the person who had just been silent and indifferent, now clamoring for her to show mercy, and felt disgusted.
As the group struggled, a woman's voice came from beside them.
The woman is suspended above a jade flute.
"Sister Tianshui. That's how people from the Immortal Sect are. They all put on airs, acting as if it doesn't concern them, but when it does, they fight over it!"
Bai Tianshui frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. "You are..."
The woman smiled, her eyes narrowing. "I am Xiao Yimo, the daughter of Immortal Venerable Lizhan."
She extended her hand to her. "Such a sect is not worth protecting." She glanced contemptuously at the trembling crowd. "Join our ranks and wipe away all the falsehood and filth in the world!"
