As the dust settled, the situation became clearer. When they saw the place where the Tide-watching Gang attacked, everyone couldn't help but stare. The place where the Tide-watching Gang attacked was now littered with corpses. Almost everyone was dead, only a few people were still alive. However, they looked very distressed, it was clear that they were injured. Moreover, these survivors were Qi Refining Cultivators, not Qi Refining Cultivators.
Upon seeing this, the people from the Greenmist Sect were even more surprised. They didn't expect the Tide-watching Gang to be this strong. They thought that the Tide-watching Gang was very strong and that their attacks were unique. However, they didn't take it to heart. After all, magic techniques weren't very important in the Sword Spirit World.
But now that they saw the situation, they were startled. They didn't think that the Tide-watching Gang's attacks would be this strong. This was really unexpected.
When Che Xiaoguang saw that his attack was successful, he immediately led his people to retreat. Then he prepared for the next attack. At this time, the way the people from the Greenmist Sect looked at them changed. They didn't dare to look down on the Jianyuzong Sect anymore.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this. Instead, he looked at the direction of the Mysterious Sky Sect and muttered, "The Mysterious Sky Sect should only have about ten thousand people left, right? They should be retreating soon. "
Greenmist nodded and said, "Right, they should be retreating soon. I'm afraid that the Mysterious Sky Sect wouldn't be able to bear this kind of casualties. However, we still need to be careful."
Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, the two sides were still entangled. However, it felt as if the two were testing each other. They didn't have any intention of attacking.
Time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Che Xiaoguang and the others attacked twice. Every time they attacked, they would destroy a small team. This kind of attack power made the people from the Greenmist Sect speechless.
Two hours later, the people of the Black Sky Sect slowly exited the illusory formation. However, when they arrived outside the illusory formation and saw that so many people had died in this attack, the people of the Black Sky Sect had ugly expressions.
At this time, the leaders of the Mysterious Sky Sect also gathered together. This time, the leader of the Mysterious Sky Sect was an elder of the Mysterious Sky Sect. This elder was an elder with real power in the Mysterious Sky Sect. His Daoist name was Xuan Ming. Elder Xuan Ming looked to be around 60 years old, but he didn't look old at all. His hair was only a little white, his face didn't have any wrinkles, and he had a big beard. He looked like a lion, giving people an extraordinary feeling of power.
Xuan Ming glanced at the other elders of the Black Heaven Sect and asked, "What do you all think?"
Everyone looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Xuan Ming looked at them and said, "Let's talk about it carefully. After all, we've already fought to this point."
Everyone pondered for a moment. Then an elder said, "Elder Xuan Ming, I think that we should retreat. This time, our losses aren't small. If we continue to attack like this, then we won't be able to capture the Green Mist Sect. Even if we do, our losses won't be small. If we lose too much, then it won't be good for us. Therefore, I think that we should retreat."
The other elders of the Black Heaven Sect nodded. Although Xuan Ming didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed. Even the elders had the intention to retreat, let alone the others. It seemed that it was really time to retreat. Thinking of this, he glanced at everyone and said, "It's not impossible to retreat, but I still want to wait. Now that the sect has sent troops to the Sword Defense Sect, I want to see the result. If the Sword Defense Sect didn't suddenly come to support the Green Mist Sect, maybe we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. Xuan Lu, you've fought with the sect master of the Sword Defense Sect. Is his strength guaranteed?"
Xuan Lu glanced at Elder Xuan Ming and said in a deep voice, "I've fought with the Sword Defense Sect's sect master, Saber9. It didn't take long, but I can feel that this person's strength is very impressive. Although he's only a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, his sword technique is very sophisticated. To be honest, I've seen people from the Sword Defense Sect fight before, and even Liu Jianling. Liu Jianling's spiritual Qi cultivation might be stronger than Saber9's, but in terms of swordsmanship and timing, Liu Jianling is definitely not as good as Saber9. If I didn't know that Saber9 and the others only took control of the Sword Defense Sect's territory after killing Liu Jianling, I really would have thought that Saber9 was the sect master of the Sword Defense Sect. His strength is really powerful, and I didn't gain any advantage over him."
Everyone in the Black Sky Sect knew about Xuan Lu's strength. When they heard what he said, they couldn't help but be stunned. Xuan Lu glanced at everyone and continued, "Moreover, he's not the only expert in the Sword Defense Sect. There are three people by Saber9's side. These three people call Saber9 'Young Master'. They seem to be his servants, but their strength is definitely not ordinary. Yesterday, when I brought Qingyun and Qingyu to chase after Saber9, we were killed by two of his servants. That's why I said that Saber9's strength is extraordinary."
Everyone knew that Xuan Lu was joking with them about this matter. For a moment, their expressions turned serious. At this moment, an elder pondered for a moment and said, "Saber9's servants call him 'Young Master'. Do you think Saber9 is from a big family or a big force?" Everyone nodded.
However, Xuan Lu shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Those three people seem to know something special. The two people who fought with Qingyun and Qingyu seem to be body cultivators. Although the last one didn't make a move, he seems to be a body cultivator because all three of them are wearing armor. I dare say that there are so many sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary. Even if we include the sects of the Seventy-two Southern Sea Islands and the Demon Realm, we don't seem to have such a force. Therefore, it's unlikely that they're from one of those big sects. If they're really from one of those big sects, it's impossible for them to be so proficient in the Sword Defense Sect's cultivation method. Therefore, I suspect that Saber9 might be an internal member of the Sword Defense Sect."
"There's such a possibility!" Xuan Ming said in a deep voice, "If Saber9 is really an internal member of the Sword Defense Sect, then this matter can be explained. Moreover, Saber9 had a big battle with the Black Sword Sect. I heard that the Black Sword Sect suffered a great loss this time."
Everyone nodded. At this moment, a person from the Black Heaven Sect flew over and bowed to Xuan Ming, "Greetings, Elder Cai. I just received an urgent letter from the sect."
Xuan Ming nodded and took the jade slip that the person handed over. He scanned the jade slip with his spiritual force. This jade slip had a boundary. Only a special method could break the boundary. Otherwise, if one tried to break it by force, the contents of the jade slip would disappear and one wouldn't be able to see it.
Xuan Ming glanced at the contents of the jade slip and then put it away. He sighed and said, "The sect just sent news that the people who attacked the Sword Defense Sect weren't doing too well. They lost a lot of people and their retreat wasn't very smooth. I'm afraid that they'll have to retreat."
Upon hearing his words, everyone's faces turned silent. They clearly knew that they no longer had a chance. Due to the attacks of the Green Mist Sect these few times, the people who came here with them all had thoughts of retreating. They no longer had the drive to attack and it was even more impossible for them to take down the Green Mist Sect. Therefore, retreating had become their only choice.
Xuan Ming looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, don't be disappointed. The people in the buffer zone want to be independent, so they must have made some preparations. Therefore, it's natural that we couldn't attack them this time. Don't worry too much about it. Let's go back first and then slowly think of a way to deal with them."
Everyone knew that Xuan Ming was comforting them. However, they didn't say anything and just nodded. Xuan Ming also knew what everyone was thinking, so he said, "Alright, inform everyone that we're going to retreat."
Everyone nodded and immediately went to inform the others. It didn't take long for their camp to be packed up. Then, they immediately set up camp and retreated.
The people of the Green Mist Sect who had been paying attention to the movements of the Mysterious Sky Sect couldn't help but cheer when they saw the people of the Mysterious Sky Sect leave. To be honest, the Mysterious Sky Sect gave them too much pressure. No matter what, the Mysterious Sky Sect was still a big sect while the Green Mist Sect was just a small sect. If the Mysterious Sky Sect really attacked them at all costs, the Green Mist Sect wouldn't be able to withstand it. They just hoped that the Mysterious Sky Sect would slowly retreat when they saw that there were too many casualties and they couldn't find them. However, no one knew whether they would succeed or not.
The Green Mist Daoist saw that the people of the Mysterious Sky Sect had retreated and let out a long breath. Then he turned to Zhao Hai who was standing beside him and said, "Sect Master Jian, the Mysterious Sky Sect has retreated. It seems like we've won this battle."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, we've won this battle. I just received news that the people of the Mysterious Sky Sect really did attack the Sword Defense Sect. However, they didn't gain any advantage and retreated."
When Green Mist heard Zhao Hai's words, he quickly said, "Great, great. The Green Mist Sect has retreated this time. I'm afraid that they won't attack you anymore. I'm afraid that the other big sects will also retreat one after another. There's finally hope for our buffer zone to be independent. Sect Master Jian, shall we have a drink and celebrate?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Yes, of course. We've won a great victory today. Naturally, we should have a good drink. But now that the battle has just ended, there are still many things that have not been dealt with. Don't you need to deal with these things?"
The Green Mist Daoist smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let them deal with it. I'm old and should hand over some of the things in my hands to them. Let them familiarize themselves with the situation in the sect. This way, if one day I'm really gone, they will know what the sect is all about. For a small sect like ours, if we don't cultivate a good successor in advance, it will be difficult for the sect to develop in the future. If we don't do it well, it will be destroyed. So when it's time to let go, it's better to let go."
"You're right. I admire you!"
