However, at that moment...
A loud voice suddenly came from the direction of the city center.
Upon hearing this voice, a glint of light flashed in everyone's eyes.
Because they are very familiar with each other.
The owner of this voice was none other than Chen Tianwen, the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect whom they had been longing for, and the savior of the Chifeng Mercenary Group!
Hearing that it was Chen Tianwen's voice, everyone finally felt relieved.
Immediately, someone suggested, "Since it's Mr. Chen's order, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion together!"
"Alright, Mr. Chen has asked us to come, so he must have discussed a solution with the three sect leaders. If we go together, it will also give the sect leaders some face!"
“That makes sense. Let’s go together and show the sect leader some authority, so that the three major sects know who’s in charge in Four Directions City.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, their voices filled with excitement.
After deciding on their next move, the members of the Divine Sword Sect and the Crimson Peak Mercenary Group took to the air and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Nearly thirty streaks of light streaked across the sky, naturally attracting attention from all sides.
South of Sifang City, the residence of the Xuantian Sect.
"The Divine Sword Sect has made a move. What should we do?"
Upon seeing the magnificent rainbow rising from the north, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of several elders of the Xuantian Sect.
They were stationed in the south of the city, which was the safest direction in the entire city.
Therefore, the most cultivators fled in their direction, and they were the first to receive news of the conflict within the city lord's mansion.
Inside the Xuantian Sect's headquarters, a group of elders who remained were discussing how to lead more disciples away.
Then they heard that unfamiliar voice coming from the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
Before anyone could react, the Divine Sword Sect, located in the north of the city, took the lead and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
These messages caught many of the Xuan Tian Sect elders off guard.
"Elder Xiahou, what's going on? Didn't we hear that the sect leaders of our three major sects and the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect are fighting? Why are we being asked to go over there without any further news?"
An elder looked with a puzzled expression at a figure suspended high in the sky, dressed in a white robe with white hair and beard.
This figure is Xiahou Yuankai, one of the three elders of the Xuantian Sect, whose status within the sect is second only to the sect leader and You Buyu!
With both Sect Master Song Yeyun and Grand Elder You Buyu absent, the decision naturally fell to Xiahou Yuankai.
"That's right, we didn't even see any Nascent Soul cultivators use their primordial spirits. Is this battle really over like this?"
"Elder Xiahou, should we continue forward now, or hurry up and continue our retreat?"
Along with these questions, the other elders all turned their questioning gazes toward Xiahou Yuankai.
Xiahou Yuankai looked at the City Lord's Mansion, which was now eerily silent in the distance, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Then he said, "Let's go too!"
Upon hearing his voice, the other elders showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
"Are we just going to go like this? What if the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect suddenly goes berserk and his primordial spirit self-destructs? We'll be in trouble..."
An elder said with concern.
What they were actually afraid of was not the Divine Sword Sect, but the self-destruction of the Divine Sword Sect Master's primordial spirit.
After all, they had just truly felt the power of the self-destruction of the primordial spirit.
Although I don't know why it was interrupted.
But if they get too close now, there's a chance it might explode again, and then it will be too late for them to escape.
Hearing his doubts, Xiahou Yuankai slowly shook his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "You're overthinking it. This time, it's not just our sect leader who's taking action, but also the sect leaders of Wuchan and Zuimeng sects. With three Nascent Soul cultivators combined, no matter how powerful the Divine Sword Sect leader is, he can't escape being killed by these three!"
Xiahou Yunkai's voice was firm as he continued, "Just now, when the aura of the primordial spirit self-destruction came, the sect master of the Divine Sword Sect had already been subdued. He wanted to self-destruct his primordial spirit, but the sect master and the others quickly killed and stopped him."
"If that weren't the case, given the typical speed at which a primordial spirit self-destructs, the entire Four Directions City would have ceased to exist long ago!"
As Xiahou Yunkai finished speaking, the worry in the eyes of the Xuantian Sect elders who were still concerned slowly faded away.
Xiahou Yunkai continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the fact that they're sending a telepathic message to summon all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the city means the sect leader wants to announce the destruction of the Divine Sword Sect to the entire Qingzhou!"
The Divine Sword Sect has been able to hold on until now after its great battle with the Blood Fiend Sect, entirely because the sect leader's reputation for single-handedly defeating the Blood Fiend Sect and slaying the Demon Ancestor has intimidated all forces.
Now that the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect has been suppressed and subdued, the Divine Sword Sect will surely cease to exist.
Such important news must be disseminated to all major powers in order to demonstrate the prestige of the three major sects.
Hearing this, the elders of the Xuantian Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief, and joy appeared in their eyes.
"The sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect is truly pathetic; he was suppressed before he could even release his primordial spirit."
"We were wary of him for a whole year, but it turns out he's just a pretty face with no substance!"
"You don't even know who made the move together. The three sect leaders joined forces. They could subdue even a demon king, let alone a weak Nascent Soul cultivator."
"In the end, it's still because the Divine Sword Sect has declined!"
The elders of the Xuantian Sect began to sigh and express their feelings one after another.
Just then, an untimely voice rang out.
"Even if the Divine Sword Sect is destroyed, we should only inform other forces in Qingzhou after annexing the Divine Sword Sect. Why are we in such a hurry?"
The speaker was dressed in a long gray-black robe, with thick blood mist at his feet and a chilling aura emanating from him.
If any elders of the Divine Sword Sect were here, they would immediately recognize that this person was wearing the original clothing of the Blood Fiend Sect, and that he was exuding the aura of someone who had practiced the Blood Fiend Sect's techniques.
After the Blood Fiend Sect was destroyed, many of the original elders of the Blood Fiend Sect did not choose to stay in the Black Cloud Sect, which was left behind by the Blood Fiend Sect, nor did they choose to join the Divine Sword Sect.
These people are usually those who have a deep-seated hatred for the Divine Sword Sect. Most of them joined the Xuantian Sect together as worshippers.
The Xuantian Sect's hostility and contempt for the Divine Sword Sect was largely due to their provocation.
But provocation is provocation.
They were fully aware of Chen Tianwen's strength.
Back then, the Demon Ancestor was incredibly powerful, even approaching the Integration Realm, yet he was still killed by Chen Tianwen.
Even though he believed that Chen Tianwen was no match for the combined attack of the three sect leaders, he would never be so easily suppressed!
Moreover, after suppressing the Divine Sword Sect, the first thing to do should be to summon the cultivators of the three major sects to discuss how to divide the vast wealth left behind by the Divine Sword Sect after it annexed the Blood Fiend Sect.
Once the agreement is reached, we will notify the other forces in Qingzhou.
This is the normal procedure.
If the division is not made in advance, the message will be communicated to other forces.
There's no guarantee that some forces won't take advantage of the chaos.
