Just as Wuheng Zi and the others returned to the base, the other Profound Sword Chariots also returned to the base. However, the other Profound Sword Chariots were even more miserable than the two Profound Sword Chariots that returned first. There was even a big hole in one of the Profound Sword Chariots, and this big hole went through the entire Profound Sword Chariot from the side. It was already not easy for this Profound Sword Chariot to return.
Seeing this situation, Wuheng Zi was no longer in the mood to rejoice for himself. Instead, he was shocked. This time, their Xuanjian sect had sent out ten Profound Sword Chariots, plus twenty thousand outer court disciples, two thousand inner court disciples, twenty thousand core disciples and elders. With such a force, it would not be a problem for them to flatten any small sect. In their opinion, with so many of them, there was no need for any preparation. As long as they pushed forward, they would definitely be able to destroy the other party.
However, who would have thought that in the end, their ten Profound Sword Chariots would all return with injuries. Among them, his Profound Sword Chariot was the only one with the lightest injuries.
However, this was not the reason why Wuheng Zi was shocked. What surprised him was that after the twenty thousand outer court disciples entered the range of the Sword Defense Sect, none of them had come out. This was truly too shocking.
Looking at the already chaotic base, Wuheng Zi really did not know what to say. At this moment, a small bell in the base rang. He knew that this bell was the bell that summoned all the core disciples for a meeting. He did not dare to delay and directly walked towards the stone house in the middle.
Although their camp was newly built, there were no tents. Almost all of them were stone houses. This was because for cultivators, using spells to build a few stone houses was even easier than setting up a tent.
Wu Hengzi and Wu Fengzi arrived at the stone house in the middle. As soon as they entered the stone house, they discovered that there were already a lot of people inside. Many of them were core disciples, while the rest were all elders of the sect. Among these core disciples, only another core disciple, Wu Weizi, could be compared to Wu Hengzi in terms of status. This was because Wu Weizi was also one of the top ten core disciples. His status was the same as Wu Hengzi's, so his status as a core disciple was higher than Wu Hengzi's.
And a core disciple like Wuheng Zi, in the Xuanjian sect, his position was even higher than those ordinary elders.
As soon as Wuheng Zi entered the room, everyone greeted him. Wuheng Zi also returned their greetings. After he sat down, several core disciples and elders arrived. After everyone arrived, an old Daoist who looked to be in his sixties, with silver hair and a red face, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe, walked in from outside the room. This old Daoist looked to be in his sixties. He had a sage-like demeanor, and he had a head of silver light.
When the old Daoist priest entered, everyone stood up and bowed to him. This old Daoist priest was the hall master of the Xuanjian sect, the most powerful elder in the Xuanjian sect, Xuan Yuzi.
In the Xuanjian sect, other than the sect master, who had the greatest authority, there were the hall masters of the various halls. These halls of the Xuanjian sect all had their own names, such as the Xuanyu Sword Hall, Xuanyun Sword Hall, Xuanji Sword Hall, and so on. The hall masters of each hall were elders with real power in the sect.
After Xuan Yuzi entered the room, he went straight to the main seat and sat down. Then he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down. There's no need to be so formal at this time. I think everyone should know why I called everyone here. Tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
Everyone was silent for a while. To be honest, they really didn't know what to say. They had originally thought that it was a very simple mission, but in the end, it had turned out like this. They really didn't know what to say.
Xuan Yuzi looked at everyone and said, "If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it. Our most important task right now is to see if we can rescue the Outer Disciples of the Sword Imperial Sect. To be honest, we didn't think that the Sword Imperial Sect would be this strong. They actually arranged such a large illusory formation. Of the 20,000 disciples that we sent in, none of them came out. We must find a way to rescue them."
Everyone nodded their heads. Just as Xuan Yuzi had said, what they needed to do now was to save the twenty thousand disciples. If all twenty thousand disciples died here, then the loss to the Xuanjian sect would be too great.
At this time, an elder opened his mouth and said, "Elder, I have already contacted some of the inner sect disciples who went in, but I was completely unable to contact them. I think I should send a letter to the sect to see if the disciples there are still alive."
When Xuan Yuzi heard the elder's words, he could not help but be startled. Then, he asked in confusion: "What is it? Could it be that the people of the Sword Defense Sect can kill twenty thousand of our disciples in such a short period of time? "
The Elder smiled bitterly. Then he took out a broken jade token and said, "I won't hide it from Elder. I have a disciple who was involved in this operation. Although he was an inner disciple, he was also a squad leader of a ground operation team. Not long after he entered the Sword Imperial Sect, his jade token was broken. I tried to contact him after that, but I couldn't get in touch with him."
Hearing the elder's words, Xuan Yuzi's expression could not help but change. He immediately said: "Quick, send a letter to the sect …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a voice: "Reporting, an urgent letter from the sect." As he spoke, a disciple of the Xuanjian sect scrambled into the stone floor and handed over a jade slip.
With a wave of Xuan Yuzi's hand, the jade slip appeared in his hand. He first glanced at the jade slip and discovered that it was indeed a jade slip sent by the sect. The seal on the jade slip was still there. Xuan Yuzi opened the seal and took a look at the contents of the seal. Then, his expression changed. He put down the jade slip and looked at the crowd: "Urgent letter from the sect, just now in the sect, the life jade tablet of the outer sect disciples suddenly shattered in a large area, and the life jade tablet of the inner sect disciples also shattered a lot. The sect came to ask me what was going on, and up until now, the number of broken jade slips in the sect has already reached eighteen thousand, and this number is almost the same as the number of outer sect disciples we sent into the Sword Defense Sect."
As he spoke until here, his face was already ashen. Nearly twenty thousand disciples, if he didn't leave two thousand people to watch over the camp, then all twenty thousand of them would have been thrown in. Just a place like the Sword Defense Sect had let him throw in twenty thousand disciples. Twenty thousand, this number was a bit too much.
When everyone heard Xuan Yuzi's words, their expressions changed. A core disciple suddenly stood up and shouted: "Damn it, elder, I'll go now and flatten the Sword Defense Sect!"
"Stop!" Xuan Yuzi looked at the disciple who was about to leave and suddenly said in a deep voice. After the disciple stopped, Xuan Yuzi said in a deep voice: "I'm even angrier than you guys, but it's useless to be angry. We have to think of a way to deal with the Sword Defense Sect. If we want to deal with the Sword Defense Sect, we have to break their illusion formation. Which one of you has a way?"
Everyone was silent. Wu Hengzi looked at everyone before he stood up and cupped his fist towards Xuan Yuzi and said, "Elder, when we were in the Sword Imperial Sect, this disciple tried to break the illusionary formation, but I didn't succeed."
Xuan Yuzi waved his hand towards Wu Hengzi and said: "Sit down and tell me what happened."
Wu Hengzi nodded, then he sat down and said, "Disciple and Senior Brother Wu Fengzi rode the Profound Sword Carriage into the Imperial Sword Sect. In the beginning, nothing happened. But then we were attacked by a strong light. Disciple immediately activated the shield of the Profound Sword Carriage. Disciple then discovered that it was a Profound Killing Formation. Disciple wanted to break the formation, but at this time, we were attacked by meteorites. We had no choice but to use all of our energy to defend ourselves. But after seeing that the meteorites were too fierce, disciple had no choice but to retreat."
After hearing what Wu Hengzi said, Xuan Yuzi couldn't help but ask: "You mean to say that if you have more time, you might be able to break the illusion formation?"
Wu Hengzi shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say that I'm 100% sure, but I can give it a try. It depends on how familiar the other party is with the illusion formation. At the same time, it also depends on the level of the person controlling the formation. If their illusion formation is really strong, then this disciple isn't sure."
Xuan Yuzi nodded and said, "We can give it a try. However, the Xuan Sword Chariot is already damaged. We can't enter the Sword Defense Sect anymore. How about this, I'll ask the sect to send you the Green Jade Compass. You can go in with the Green Jade Compass. As long as you can break their illusionary formation, you'll be rewarded with a great merit."
Wu Hengzi nodded and said: "Yes, this disciple is willing to give it a try."
Xuan Yuzi immediately took out a jade slip and entered some things into the jade slip. Then, he handed the jade slip to an elder beside him and said: "Take the jade slip back to the sect and bring the Azure Jade Compass." The elder responded and immediately turned around and left.
As soon as the elder left, the entire room quieted down. Everyone was waiting. At the same time, they secretly swore in their hearts that if they could break the Sword Defense Sect this time, they would definitely not leave a single chicken or dog in the Sword Defense Sect alive.
Not long after, the elder returned with a compass the size of a plate in his hand. This compass looked very beautiful, it was made of green transparent jade, it looked extremely refined and beautiful. This was one of the treasures of the Profound Sword Sect, called the Azure Jade Compass. This Azure Jade Compass was refined by an elder of the Profound Sword Sect, but it was an elder from a few generations ago. That elder was obsessed with the study of formations all his life, he was the best at setting up formations, and he was also very good at breaking through formations. Later on, in order to make it easier for him to break through formations, he spent a few years refining this Azure Jade Compass.
The biggest use of this Azure Jade Compass was to break through formations. The compass had its own Positioning Formation, which could be used by embedding crystal stones. It was very useful. Ordinary formations didn't need to activate the Positioning Formation at all. This compass was much stronger than ordinary compasses.
Xuan Yuzi directly gave the compass to Wu Hengzi, and said in a deep voice: "Go, if you can break through this Illusionary Killing Formation, I will give you the first merit."
Wu Hengzi replied, picked up the Azure Jade Compass and walked out. Wu Fengzi also followed him out. Everyone in the room knew that they had to destroy the Sword Defense Sect as soon as possible, they couldn't wait any longer.
Xuan Yuzi even stood up and walked out when Wu Hengzi walked out. After Wu Hengzi and Wu Fengzi arrived outside, they directly flew towards the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate. In the blink of an eye, they arrived outside the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate. In fact, calling this the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate was a bit excessive, this place could not be considered the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate, it could only be considered the mountain outside the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate. But now, everyone in the Xuanjian sect knew that as long as they entered the mountain, they would be in danger, so they directly called this place the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate.
When they arrived at the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate, Wu Hengzi and Wu Fengzi immediately descended from the sky and walked into the mountain. There were many trees in the mountain, and once they entered the mountain, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
An elder beside Xuan Yuzi looked at the backs of Wu Hengzi and Wu Fengzi and said in a deep voice: "They are very calm. If they were to fly over in the air, they would immediately become targets. It might be safer to walk on the ground."
Xuan Yuzi said in a deep voice: "I hope they succeed. If they really fail, then we are finished."
The elder only nodded his head and did not say anything. He was very clear that if Wu Hengzi and the others failed, then they would really have no other choice. It would not be easy to break through the opponent's Illusory Killing Array, and this Green Jade Compass was the most important method they could take out. If this method was not useful, then they would not have any other good methods. If they could not break through the opponent's Illusory Killing Array, then it would be impossible for them to deal with the opponent. In other words, their operation this time would fail.
Wu Hengzi, who had entered the Sword Object Sect's mountain gate, was also very nervous. To be able to become a core disciple of the Xuanjian sect, he was naturally not an idiot. He was very clear on how much pressure he was under this time, and if he failed, then it would mean that the Xuanjian sect had failed. If he succeeded, then it would mean that the Xuanjian sect had failed, and if he succeeded, then it would be a great merit.
It was also because of this that Wu Hengzi was very careful. After he entered the Sword Defense Sect's mountain gate, he began to pay attention to the Green Jade Compass in his hand. However, there was no indication on the Green Jade Compass at all, as if this place was not within the range of the Illusory Killing Array. There was no other way, Wu Hengzi could only walk inside. As he walked forward, he paid attention to the Green Jade Compass.
After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped. He had no choice but to stop because he was stunned by the scene in front of him. In front of him, there were countless corpses, and these corpses, without exception, were all wearing the clothes of the Xuanjian sect. Obviously, these people were all disciples of the Xuanjian sect.
Upon seeing these corpses, Wu Hengzi and Wu Fengzi's expressions could not help but change. Boundless anger appeared on their faces at the same time. There was nothing more infuriating than seeing the corpses of their own sect's disciples being slaughtered.
However, Wu Hengzi did not forget his job. He lowered his head to look at the compass and discovered that the needle of the compass had finally changed.
