Lu Xuan steered the Gale Wind Spirit Vessel towards the outside of the sealed grounds. Such a huge incident had occurred in the sealed grounds, and he had to notify the Jiuhua Alliance as soon as possible.
Though the Sikong family had provoked the battle, they didn't expect that the final victor would be the Jiuhua Alliance, not the Sikong family. Furthermore, all of the Sikong family's men had perished here. Their plan to unite with the Phantom God Sect and rule over the entire Celestial Sword Continent had to be put on hold.
The battle had lost its element of surprise, and the Sikong family's advantage wasn't as great. They could buy the Jiuhua Alliance some time to prepare, and in a direct confrontation, the Jiuhua Alliance wasn't afraid of the Sikong family. Though the Sikong family had the Phantom God Sect as an ally, the Jiuhua Alliance could also ally with Myriad Shark Island. Furthermore, the Nangong family had broken away from Octagonal Sacred Temple, so they were also a force to be reckoned with. The only uncertainty was how much damage the Nangong family had sustained from the Sikong family's thunderous attack.
As the Gale Wind Spirit Vessel sped forward, Lu Xuan quickly brought the group to the edge of the sealed grounds. Originally, there were some who didn't believe that the seal had been broken, but now they no longer had any doubts.
The great fifth-rank sects had agreed to open the spatial tunnel in three months, and take everyone out. It wasn't even three months yet, and the edge of the sealed grounds was empty. There wasn't a single person to be seen.
"Let's go to the Everlasting Sect first. Once we're there, we can teleport directly to the Jiuhua Alliance." Long Boming's aura was a little weak. The aftereffects of using the forbidden technique had taken effect, and now he was very weak.
"Elder Long, the Everlasting Sect has suffered heavy losses this time. I have to send word back about the sealed grounds," an elder of the Everlasting Sect said.
The Absolute Monarch Sect and Eroding Bone Cave made the same request. The great fourth-rank sects had originally come to the sealed grounds in search of treasure, but who would have thought that the Sikong family would cause such a ruckus? Not only did they not obtain many treasures, but they also lost a group of elite disciples.
"Go, go. When you return, tell your sect master that he must pay a visit to the Jiuhua Alliance." Long Boming waved his hand.
"Elder Zhao, what about us?" Chen Xiaohan asked.
Without waiting for Zhao Ying to speak, Long Boming said, "Madam, follow this old man back to the Jiuhua Alliance. Now that the Sikong Family has declared war, the Heavenly Sword Continent will no longer be peaceful. The Alliance Master needs you."
Zhao Ying hesitated. She hadn't been to the Alliance for many years. She'd sworn an oath that she would never set foot in the Alliance.
"I'm going to the Sikong Clan. I have to save Bing 'er." Lu Xuan, who had been silently hugging Zhao Binger, suddenly spoke. Ruo Xiangyi had already left him, so he couldn't just watch as Zhao Binger left him.
Although the Golden Crow Poison Pill had cleared the poison in Zhao Binger's body, the Yin Gu was still there. He could feel that Zhao Binger's aura was still weakening. Clearly, the Yin Gu was still devouring Zhao Binger's strength. Unless he could get the Yang Gu from the Yin Yang Soul Breaking Gu, Zhao Binger would die sooner or later.
"No!" Zhao Ying said without hesitation. Her two most beloved disciples were Zhao Binger and Lu Xuan. Now that Zhao Binger's fate was unknown, she didn't want anything to happen to Lu Xuan.
"Although your strength was impressive in the sealed area, I know that you relied on external forces. Once you left the sealed area, your strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, the Sikong Clan now controls the entire Octagonal Sacred Palace. The strength of a fifth-grade sect is far greater than you can imagine. Sikong Bei is only at the ninth-level Grand Void Realm, but after so many years of accumulation, the Sikong Clan must have quite a few pinnacle Grand Void Realm experts in their sect. You won't be able to resist them at all."
"Madam is right." Long Boming continued, "Although Sikong Bei was a figure from two or three hundred years ago, he wasn't the strongest in the Sikong Clan. Even if we don't talk about the distant past, Sikong Bei is the weakest among the four elders of the Sikong Clan. If you recklessly go to the Sikong Clan, you won't be able to accomplish anything. Instead, you'll put yourself in danger."
"Am I supposed to just watch Zhao Binger sleep until she dies?" Lu Xuan tugged at his hair in frustration. He had worked so hard to become stronger in order to protect his family, but now that one was dead and the other was injured, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said, "Come with me to the Jiuhua Alliance and see if there's a way to heal Binger. If there isn't, we'll trade something with the Sikong Clan. Bing 'er grew up with me, and I see her as my own. The pain in my heart is no less than yours. Trust me, I'll find a way to wake her up."
Seeing that Zhao Ying had finally agreed to go to the Jiuhua Alliance, Long Boming was overjoyed. "Yes, the Jiuhua Alliance is even more powerful than the Sikong Clan. I'm sure you'll find a way to save Miss Binger, Leader."
Lu Xuan took a deep breath. "Then I'll go to the Jiuhua Alliance first. Now that there's nothing we can do, I'll go to the Sikong Clan."
Looking at Lu Xuan's face, Zhao Ying sighed. Lu Xuan had always been stubborn, and she couldn't persuade him otherwise. She could only hope that Ye Wuhen could really save Zhao Binger, so that Lu Xuan wouldn't have to take such a risk.
Little Tanuki squatted on Lu Xuan's shoulder, licking Lu Xuan's face with its wet tongue. It comforted Lu Xuan. It had been with Lu Xuan for so long, but this was the first time it had seen Lu Xuan in such a bad mood.
Under the guidance of the Limitless Sect Elder, the Galewind Spirit Boat slowly arrived at the Limitless Sect. The Limitless Sect's scenery wasn't bad, and it had its own unique characteristics. In the past, Lu Xuan would have been in the mood to enjoy it, but now he wasn't in the mood.
The people from the fourth-rank sects parted ways. The Limitless Sect Elder led Lu Xuan and the others to the teleportation array, then hurried off to find the Sect Master of the Limitless Sect.
There was a flash of light, followed by a slight dizziness. In the next moment, the group appeared in the Jiuhua Alliance. The Jiuhua Alliance was located in a large city named Jiuhua City.
The Jiuhua Alliance was much larger than the Peony Palace's Hundred Flowers City. This was the foundation of the fifth-rank Jiuhua Alliance, and the security here was far greater than that of the Hundred Flowers City.
Looking at the enormous city, Zhao Ying was slightly dazed. She hadn't stepped into Jiuhua City for twenty years, and it had changed so much that she couldn't recognize it anymore. She could only vaguely make out some traces of the past.
As they walked, Long Boming introduced the situation of Jiuhua City to Lu Xuan. "Jiuhua City has a history of nearly ten thousand years. It was built after the great war ten thousand years ago. The entire city is located on top of a huge array. Once the array is activated, even a pinnacle Taixu Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. Lu Xuan, if you really want to go to the Sikong family, you mustn't let your guard down. You mustn't reveal your identity. The Sikong family's strength isn't much weaker than the Jiuhua Alliance. "
