Calculating the time, it had only been slightly more than a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, Wind Thunder Valley, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Devil Subduing Conference.
This was the eternal pain in the heart of Li Jiangang, the Sect Leader of Kunlun Sword Faction!
The shadow that Ling Yun cast on him that night was too great. It was like a dark cloud hovering over his head, lingering and lingering. It had already turned into a nightmare.
Ling Yun was truly invincible!
Li Jiangang couldn't be sure what level Ling Yun was at, but he knew that Ling Yun definitely hadn't passed the Four Nine Minor Tribulation.
The limit of the early stage of Qi Cultivation was the peak of Qi Cultivation Level 3.
But this was not important.
He was invincible in one-on-one battles, useless in group attacks, not afraid of exhaustion, and getting stronger the more he fought!
The scariest thing was that Ling Yun had an endless number of trump cards, making any enemy tremble in fear and despair.
Li Jiangang might not know how strong the four Perfected Masters were, but he knew the true realms of the two Immortals of Kunlun, Zhang Kunlun and Li Kunlun.
Both of them were at the peak of Qi Cultivation Level 9.
Ling Yun slashed with his immortal sword, knocking the two Immortals into the ground. They were seriously injured, then fled without looking back!
Killing people six levels above him was effortless, and he could still talk and laugh …
It was that shocking sword that made Li Jiangang completely lose the courage to fight Ling Yun. He could only let himself be slaughtered by Ling Yun.
As for pride and face, they were completely useless in front of Ling Yun. That night, those who had pride and face were all dead. Not even their bones were left. No one remembered it, and no one dared to mention revenge.
Zi Qiu and Zi Chen's lives.
Li Jiangang's 32.98 million merit points, his Natal Flying Sword, and his hundred treasures pouch.
The other eighteen people of Kunlun Sword Sect, their weapons, and their hundred treasures pouch.
They could only watch helplessly as Ling Yun plundered them clean.
Of course, his heart ached because all these resources added up was equivalent to a hundred years of Kunlun Sword Sect's accumulation!
But the strange thing was that even to this day, Li Jiangang didn't feel ashamed of what he did.
Moreover, after returning to Kunlun Sword Sect for so long, Kunlun didn't blame him. It was as if they had forgotten about it.
Nothing made him feel free.
This allowed Li Jiangang to relax for a few days, and he even had the feeling that it was rare for him to be free for even half a day.
If the Merit Points were gone, so be it. Ling Yun wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.
Now that his Intrinsic Flying Sword was gone, he could just refine another when he had the time.
Compared to these two, the hundred treasures pouch was even more insignificant.
In any case, unless Kunlun took action themselves and sent people to deal with Ling Yun, if they still wanted Li Jiangang to deal with Ling Yun, he wouldn't hesitate to commit suicide.
He couldn't afford to offend that person!
Sure enough, seven days later …
Li Jiangang received the news that the Tianshan Heavenly Sword Sect was annihilated by Ling Yun in one night. Furthermore, none of the four disciples that Kunlun sent to 'bait' managed to escape. All their life lamps were extinguished!
Those were four Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one of them was even at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
After hearing the news, Li Jiangang was not shocked at all. His reaction was calm, and his evaluation was only two words: normal.
After that, Li Jiangang, who had already chosen a sword embryo and planned to refine a Natal Flying Sword, gave up and stopped practicing.
Who knew if Ling Yun would appear one day and snatch his Natal Flying Sword away? Ling Yun was still hoping that he could hold the next Devil Subduing Conference as soon as possible.
Li Jiangang had long since laid flat on the ground. He was so terrified that he could barely move.
Of course, as the sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Li Jiangang had his responsibilities. He didn't slack off in managing the sect's affairs.
It was fine as long as no one mentioned Ling Yun to him. He would get angry if anyone mentioned it.
After the Devil Subduing Convention had ended miserably, many people from the five sects and eleven schools of Kunlun Mountain, especially those from the five sects, had come to find out what had happened that night. Moreover, none of them believed that Ling Yun was that strong. Many of them urged Li Jiangang to seek revenge on Ling Yun.
"If you can do it, then do it. If you don't, then don't look for me. Do you believe that I won't kill myself?"
That was what Li Jiangang said after he lost his patience.
There was no other way.
Among the five sects and eleven schools of Kunlun Mountain, the Kunlun Sword Sect could only be considered a sect. It wasn't one of the five sects, especially in terms of foundation.
One could tell just by looking at Li Jiangang's realm. He was a Qi Disciple Level 6 swordsman, yet he hadn't entered the late stage.
However, the five sects of Kunlun Mountain were Minor Five Elements Sect, Minor Ascension Sect, Staying Immortal Sect, West King Sect, Wulin Sect, and even Minor Ascension Sect and Minor Flying Immortal Sect. If they were to compare their foundation, which sect didn't have a few Foundation Establishment cultivators?
The sect leaders, elders, and guardians of the five sects didn't have anyone below Qi Disciple Level 9.
Was it because the Kunlun Sword Sect was weak?
Not really.
This was due to the special status of the Kunlun Sword Sect.
The Kunlun Sword Sect guarded the door of Kunlun. It had an extremely high status among all the sects of Kunlun Mountain. It had nothing to do with its strength.
In other words, the Kunlun Sword Sect didn't need to be that strong.
Just as Li Piaoyang said, it was just guarding the door.
It was guarding the door, not a fighter.
In essence, the position that Kunlun gave to the Kunlun Sword Sect was to guard the door and serve as a messenger, doing odd jobs.
The supreme status of the Kunlun Sword Sect came from the Kunlun behind it, not from its own strength.
There were two main reasons.
Every once in a while, about five years on average, Kunlun would give the Kunlun Sword Sect a certain reward. It was very generous, mainly in the form of elixirs. Occasionally, there would be magical treasures, flying swords, combat techniques, and life-saving talismans.
This was actually the reward for guarding the door. It couldn't be done for free.
Secondly, every once in a while, about twenty years on average, Kunlun would give the Kunlun Sword Sect five to ten slots to enter Kunlun. The Kunlun Sword Sect Leader would recommend them, and after Kunlun's selection, they would usually be selected.
It was these two reasons that determined the supreme status of the Kunlun Sword Sect and led to their current awkward situation.
Extremely high status!
As for their strength, it was getting weaker year by year.
This was because the Kunlun Sword Sect would draw blood every twenty years. As long as the disciples of the Kunlun Sword Sect were talented and perceptive, they would go to Kunlun.
The Kunlun Sword Sect would, of course, give priority to their own disciples. They rarely gave it to outsiders.
However, the problem was that none of the disciples who were selected to enter Kunlun ever returned!
Generation after generation, how strong could the Kunlun Sword Sect be?
Of course, every generation of the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader would definitely be able to enter Kunlun after his position was passed down.
This was the reason for Li Jiangang's current awkwardness.
In the huge meeting hall, he, as the sect leader, had an extremely high status. However, his realm was not even comparable to that disciple from the Celestial Retaining Sect.
It didn't matter usually, but it was a critical juncture now.
Ning Lingyu could appear outside the Mountain Defense Formation at any time and attack the Kunlun Sword Sect!
Ning Lingyu didn't appear at the Demon Subduing Conference. Li Jiangang hadn't seen her either, but he knew her identity very well.
The other identities weren't important. What was important was that Ning Lingyu was Ling Yun's younger sister!
Regardless of whether Ning Lingyu was strong or not, Li Jiangang knew that Ling Yun was truly strong. Invincible!
Li Jiangang's head hurt every time he thought of this.
His younger sister was a demoness, but her older brother was a killing god!
If they couldn't stop him, the sect would be destroyed!
If they could stop him, they would face Ling Yun!
What made him speechless was that even now, Li Jiangang couldn't figure out why all of this had happened.
After all, the Ning family was one of the five sects and eleven sects of Kunlun Mountain. For more than a hundred years, there was no deep hatred between them and the sects of Kunlun Mountain. Why did they want to slaughter all the sects of Kunlun Mountain for no reason?
Could it be Ling Yun's idea?
Li Jiangang couldn't figure it out.
Li Jiangang's biggest hope now was that Ning Lingyu wouldn't come.
If she did, she wouldn't be able to break through the three layers of the Mountain Defense Formation.
Li Jiangang was very confident in the Mountain Defense Formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect. Unlike the other sects, their Mountain Defense Formation was specially set up by Kunlun.
Of course, this was also the biggest reason why the other sects of Kunlun Mountain fled with their disciples!
That was why Li Jiangang, who had been a salted fish for more than a month, lamented that the Kunlun Sword Sect was unlucky this year!
At that moment, in the huge conference hall, the big shots were still arguing non-stop. However, the focus of their discussion had shifted from Ning Lingyu's strength to the three layers of the Mountain Defense Formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect.
Most of them were full of confidence. In the end, they leaned towards the same conclusion. They firmly believed that the demoness couldn't even break through the first layer of the formation.
"Ahem …"
Li Jiangang finally spoke. He cleared his throat twice to silence the entire conference hall. Then, he scanned the crowd.
"First of all, the three layers of the Mountain Defense Formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect have been activated."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference hall heaved a sigh of relief.
"The five sects and eleven factions of the Kunlun Mountain are originally of the same origin. For hundreds of years, they have been united. Even if there were occasional fights between the various sects, they would eventually be resolved successfully. Who would have thought that trouble would arise from within?"
"This is the catastrophe of the Kunlun Mountain. Since everyone believes in the Kunlun Sword Sect and came here to defend against the enemy together, I, Li Jiangang, may be just a small sect leader, but I am willing to advance and retreat with everyone. "
"However …"
Li Jiangang purposely paused for a moment as he scanned the crowd and asked, "If my Mountain Barrier Formation can hold, then everything will be fine. But what if Ning Lingyu breaks through it …"
"Sect Leader Li is too humble!"
"Impossible. I heard that the Mountain Defense Formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect can withstand a full blow from a Golden Core cultivator. How could it be broken through?!"
The two sect leaders in the conference hall immediately stood up and said one after another.
"I'm just saying what if."
As for whether the Mountain Defense Formation could withstand a Golden Core cultivator, Li Jiangang did not give an answer. He only said to himself, "If it really is broken through, what will everyone do?"
"…"
The entire meeting hall was dead silent in an instant.
"Will we stay and fight to the death, or will we run away? Sect Leaders and Elders, please give me a definite answer."
The two sect leaders who had stood up earlier immediately sat back down.
The people in the conference hall looked at each other and no one responded for a long time.
After a while, someone said in a low voice, "Since we are here, we naturally trust Sect Leader Li. No matter what the outcome is, we will listen to Sect Leader Li."
Before the voice died away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire Kunlun Sword Sect shook!
Li Jiangang scanned the area with his Divine Telekinesis and his expression changed drastically!
The first layer of the Mountain Defense Formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect had been broken through!
