After hearing Li Sisui's words, the disciples of Zhenwu Hall were completely stunned. Was this person an idiot? Not only did he not run away, but he actually wanted to deliver himself to their doorstep?
If it weren't for that strange technique, they wouldn't even give a second glance to the mere third level of the Divine Illumination Sect. Even with the useless members of the Hidden Moon Sect, they wouldn't be enough for the True Martial Hall to easily defeat!
"A bunch of ignorant rats, do they really think that the title of the First Sect Master of Sage Hill is just a boast?"
They've been trapped in this desolate mountain for a century, so it's understandable that they're ignorant and unsophisticated. But why are you joining in, Wind Vine Daoist? Are you really planning to fight to the death this time? Don't blame me for not warning you, the fish will definitely die, but whether the net breaks or not is uncertain. You'd better think this through, hmph!
The leading disciple of the Zhenwu Hall gazed meaningfully at the tearful Feng Teng Daoist, his words carrying a strong warning. The latter smiled sadly and said:
"Who is truly ignorant is hard to say. Heh, since you've already tipped me off, I won't say any more. As for the True Martial Hall sect, even if you don't lead the way, this old man knows it..."
"Hmph, all talk and no action. We'll lead the way if you dare to go. Do you dare? How arrogant!"
The disciple in charge of the Zhenwu Hall seemed to have thought of something. A look of wild joy flashed across his face, which was filled with surprise and uncertainty, but he quickly suppressed it. Then he began to press the matter aggressively, using strong words. He wanted to use provocation to lure the other party into a trap.
Such clumsy acting was crystal clear to not only Feng Teng Daoren, but even the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect. However, since they weren't the ones making the decisions, they all remained silent, unconsciously glancing at Li Sisui, who grinned and said:
"Then stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
Seeing Li Sisui's nonchalant expression, the people of Zhenwu Hall were completely stunned. Was he really going to lead the way? But before they could say anything, Feng Teng Daoren took the lead and agreed:
"Junior brother, I know the way to the Zhenwu Hall. Leave the travel to us. You should go back to the Flower Pavilion and rest for a while!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!"
Li Si followed Feng Teng Daoist with a fist and palm salute, then turned and disappeared into the Flower Pavilion's magical artifact. Feng Teng Daoist glanced into the distance; the original site of the Hidden Moon Sect was now unrecognizable. He sighed deeply, then turned and shouted to the people of the True Martial Hall:
"Why aren't you getting out of the way?"
Seeing this, the people of Zhenwu Hall were caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat. However, in the end, they were intimidated by Li Sisui's tyranny and made way for him. Led by Feng Teng Daoren, the people of Yanyue Sect filed out of the passage, completely breaking free from the Zhenwu Hall's great formation and escaping to safety!
The members of the True Martial Hall watched the Moon Concealing Sect members disappear into the distance, their eyes filled with confusion. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. At this moment, the voice of Daoist Fengteng drifted slowly from not far away:
"Finally, let me say that the departure of the Hidden Moon Sect this time is not due to the sect's annihilation or the dispersal of its members, but rather to find another treasure land to reopen. It's a pity that such a large formation as the True Martial Hall will only be able to guard a barren hill from now on. Hehe, let's go!"
At Feng Teng Daoren's command, bursts of light erupted beneath the feet of the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, like spilled dye bottles, creating a dazzling array of colors. In the blink of an eye, the large group disappeared into the clouds.
The Zhenwu Hall members watched the disappearing members of the Yanyue Sect and felt a sense of loss. The leading disciple, however, was quick-witted and soon realized what was wrong. His fingers moved rapidly, forming a magic seal. The thick clouds that had been covering the Yanyue Sect mountain range gradually dispersed, revealing the true face of the mountain range.
No wonder the Hidden Moon Sect hasn't had any new disciples for a hundred years. It turns out that the sect was hidden by the True Martial Hall's grand formation, and with disciples guarding it, it was truly isolated and helpless, completely severing its connection with Sage Hill. Apart from relying on the inherent resources of the sect's mountain range to prolong its existence, it could only wait to die on the spot...
If you're willing to expend a powerful array and disciples to guard and isolate them, why not just destroy the entire sect once and for all? Is this what you call the "face" of the Flying Flower Sect?
"Senior brother, why did you dismantle the great formation?"
“The Hidden Moon Sect has broken through the formation and left. We must return to the sect immediately to report. You two go and destroy the formation base. Go quickly and return as soon as possible, preferably before the Hidden Moon Sect!”
These people were somewhat bewildered by the sudden action, but after a moment's thought, they finally understood the implications. They were ordered to guard the Hidden Moon Sect. If the formation was intact, but the Hidden Moon Sect members appeared in front of the True Martial Hall, they would be held responsible. What they were doing now was simply to distance themselves from the situation and create the illusion that the Hidden Moon Sect had broken through the formation...
"Understood, we'll go right away!"
"When we left the sect, we only took one talisman with us, and the situation was urgent just now, so we didn't have time to report the details. If we had another message talisman now, it would have been perfect. Fortunately, that person didn't kill us, which is a stroke of luck. Now, as long as we get back to the sect injured and report, we'll basically have accomplished our mission..."
As he spoke, the leading disciple of the True Martial Hall raised his hand and threw out several hand seals. The violent spiritual energy raged, and the booming explosions were deafening. Before long, the scene in front of everyone was a mess, as if a great battle had taken place. At this time, the two disciples who were sent to destroy the array base also returned. Seeing what had happened, they understood what was going on.
As for the members of the Hidden Moon Sect heading to the True Martial Hall, they were not worried at all. Although the senior brother who suddenly appeared was a bit strange, as the number one sect in Saint Hill, how could they not even be able to handle a mere person? Even if this person's cultivation was truly heaven-defying and exceeded the level of Saint Hill, the protective formation of the True Martial Hall was not to be underestimated. Otherwise, what capital would the True Martial Hall have to stand at the top of Saint Hill and remain prosperous for so long?
Under the instruction of their senior brother from the True Martial Hall, the group exchanged glances, let out a muffled groan, and blood slowly seeped from the corners of their mouths, looking as if they were seriously injured after a great battle. After doing all this, they were finally satisfied, raised their hands to summon their flying artifacts, and flew towards the direction Li Si had left in...
Three months later, the members of the Hidden Moon Sect, weary from their journey, finally arrived at their destination: the True Martial Hall, the number one sect in Sage Hill, which had stood for over a thousand years and possessed a formidable reputation!
Even from a distance, everyone could see the magnificent gate that soared into the clouds, filled with the fragrance of flowers and surrounded by auspicious clouds. The closer they got to the Zhenwu Hall, the denser the spiritual energy became. Even Leng Rushuang, who had been unconscious in the Flower Pavilion's magical artifact, seemed to have undergone a slight change under the nourishment of this rich spiritual energy.
Li Sisui, who was meditating with his eyes closed, immediately sensed Leng Rushuang's change with his vast divine sense. He opened his eyes to take a closer look and found that Leng Rushuang's brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare, and her long eyelashes were fluttering as if she would wake up at any moment!
It seems that this accidental trip to the Zhenwu Hall was actually the right decision!
