Xianyin City was not affected, but City Lord Xu Feng still personally led the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to guard the city wall in case of any accidents.
Ye Sisi and the other three greeted Xu Feng, then left the city and flew towards the gate of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion.
The Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion is located in a relatively remote area, in the northwest of the Holy Spirit Domain. The spiritual energy here is not very abundant, so no major sects would establish a sect here.
The reason why the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion can maintain its position as a second-rate sect is because it has two Void Refinement cultivators in charge. One of them, a Void Refinement stage elder, forcibly used a secret technique to enhance his cultivation during the demon-slaying war ten years ago, which caused fundamental damage to his body. His cultivation has stopped at the early stage of Void Refinement and it is difficult for him to make any further progress.
Another one is Chen Ling, the current sect leader of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion. When Ye Sisi and the others visited her before, this approachable female sect leader clearly had the extraordinary phenomenon of being in harmony with heaven and man. She should have become the first sect leader of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion in a thousand years to achieve the state of being in harmony with heaven and man. However, her cultivation level dropped again in the battle against demons.
This gave the Tianli Sect, which already had a grudge against the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They had been worried that Chen Ling's breakthrough to the Integration stage would cause trouble, but now that Chen Ling's cultivation had fallen to the Nascent Soul stage and the other Grand Elder was sickly, it was the perfect time to make a move.
As for the specific grudges between the two sects, it seems to be a debt of affection between their founders. There are many different opinions, and Ye Sisi is not sure. However, she knows that the two sects have always been at odds. In every sect competition, the rankings of the two sects are very close, and they have also had many frictions due to their adjacent territories.
As long as these factions with sectarian feuds don't escalate too much, the alliance and major sects won't intervene to stop them.
The current situation at the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion is that two Void Refinement Elders from the Heavenly Departure Sect are blocking the entrance to the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion with a group of Nascent Soul and Departure Spirit cultivators.
Then, they forced the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion to agree to five arena battles, with each sect sending two Nascent Soul cultivators, two Divine Soul cultivators, and one Void Refinement cultivator to determine the winner. This would also determine the ownership of the two sects. To be precise, if the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion lost, it would become an affiliated sect of the Heavenly Departure Sect, and half of all its profits would have to be handed over to the Heavenly Departure Sect, or it would have to cede half of its territory to the Heavenly Departure Sect, and vice versa.
The Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion suffered considerable losses this time. Not only was the sect leader seriously injured and will need a long time to recover his cultivation, but many other disciples who participated in the battle also died or were injured.
Even the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, a direct disciple of Sect Master Chen Ling, died on the battlefield. Tian Li Sect's proposal of a duel at this time was simply bullying the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion's top combat power, which was already dead or wounded.
Nevertheless, some disciples volunteered to challenge her, but Chen Ling refused.
She knew the character of the cultivators from the Tianli Sect well. Even if they wouldn't kill their opponents out of respect for the rules, they would still cut off their cultivation path.
If her cultivation level hadn't dropped so much, she wouldn't mind having a life-or-death battle with her opponent. But now she's only a Nascent Soul cultivator, while her martial uncle is only at the early stage of Void Refinement and his old injuries haven't healed. So her martial uncle might very well have his cultivation crippled.
She would never agree to risk her martial uncle's life for a mere argument, even if her martial uncle himself was willing. Besides, they might not be able to win the other battles either.
Moreover, she truly despised the cowardly and timid nature of the Tianli Sect. If it weren't for her strength, she would have followed the example of the Golden Wind Sect Master of the Divine Path Sect and directly dragged these guys to the battlefield to see if they would still be so arrogant and disgusting when facing those demons.
Therefore, she would rather use up the favors she had with Ouyang Yanyu to delay the battle, otherwise it would be too frustrating for the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Departure Sect.
Ye Sisi actually didn't mind fighting directly for the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion. As long as they won three out of the five arena battles, the Li Sect could just wait to cede half of its territory to the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion.
However, Sect Leader Chen Ling disagreed and only asked them to help buy time and get rid of those annoying flies.
Ye Sisi didn't quite understand at first, but then she thought that if the Heavenly Spirit Sect were in this situation, she probably wouldn't want others to interfere too much either.
The four arrived at the gate of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion and could hear a group of guys from the Heavenly Departure Sect cursing and swearing from afar, each one more offensive than the last.
Ye Sisi hesitated for a moment, then said, "What should I do? I want to hit someone."
Lin Shuanglu nodded in deep agreement: "I also want to hit someone."
Ye Shubai smiled and said, "What a coincidence, me too."
Ouyang Yanyu smiled brightly: "Then let's fight!"
The four transformed into four streaks of light, landing directly in front of the Tianli Sect group.
The insults stopped abruptly, and a group of seemingly respectable but actually ethereal individuals were taken down before they could even react.
Lin Shuangluo and Ye Shubai each pulled a Void Refinement cultivator into the void. Ye Sisi and Ouyang Yanyu, two incredibly beautiful and seemingly delicate girls, managed to beat the remaining group of Tianli Sect cultivators until they were black and blue.
The disciples of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, watching from afar, stared wide-eyed. They had long wanted to do this, but the sect leader wouldn't let them go out, otherwise they would be expelled from the sect. Moreover, if they went out, they would only get beaten up, since there were two Void Refinement cultivators among them, and they couldn't defeat them with courage alone.
Liu Mengqing's bright eyes widened, and then she started shouting, "Yanyu, Yanyu, you did a great job! Sisi, you're so cool!"
For some reason, the disciples behind him also started shouting. Lin Qingzhu smiled and narrowed his eyes, but he still had some sense and didn't shout along. After all, he was already in his mid-twenties. However, seeing the girl next to him so happy, he couldn't help but feel happy too. The atmosphere before had been too oppressive.
Ye Sisi rubbed her wrists and then breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmm, that feels much better. People like this only deserve to be reasoned with by her fists."
A male cultivator who had initially appeared quite handsome stood up shakily and angrily demanded, "Who are you? What right do you have to hit me?"
His face was covered in bruises, his eyes were swollen shut, several of his teeth were knocked out, and he spoke with a lisp, making him look quite comical.
Ouyang Yanyu said calmly, "What? I come home to find a bunch of mad dogs barking wildly at my door, and I can't even take action?"
The young man choked, only then recognizing that one of the female cultivators who had attacked them was Ouyang Yanyu. They knew that Ouyang Yanyu was a guest elder of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, but a guest elder was just a guest elder and did not have the qualifications to challenge in the arena. They did not pay much attention to her, and it was said that she had disappeared for several years. Where did she come from?
Seeing the young man looking at her, Ye Sisi grinned.
Sorry, in the previous chapter I said that the sect leader of Xianyin Sword Pavilion's cultivation level dropped from Nascent Soul to Out-of-Body, but I remembered it wrong. She was already at the Refinement of Emptiness stage, so she dropped from the Refinement of Emptiness stage to the Nascent Soul stage. It has been corrected. Sorry, sorry. By the way, could you give me some more five stars?
