At the Repent Cliff of Sky Mountain Sect.
Duan Yao, whose hands were bound by the colorful shackles, was staring blankly at the stone wall. All of a sudden, she sensed a slight fluctuation in the barrier at the entrance of the cave.
"Mother!" Duan Yao hurriedly stood up.
During the past few days, her mother would secretly bring her food every day. Otherwise, with her cultivation base, she would have fainted a long time ago.
However, the one who entered the array formation wasn't her mother but her father, Duan Wu Xin, the Sect Master of Sky Mountain Sect.
Duan Yao was slightly surprised. She pursed her lips and sat back on the stone bed.
Hmph, my father still loves me dearly …
Duan Yao pretended to be aggrieved and lowered her head in silence.
This time, Sky Mountain Sect was severely damaged, and it was a heavy blow to her soul. She knew that in this world, the words of the powerful were still louder.
Therefore, in the past few days, she had truly reflected on herself and truly wanted to pursue absolute strength.
Of course, her hatred for Hao Ren did not diminish at all. If she had the chance to kill Hao Ren, she might not show any mercy.
"Follow me," Duan Wu Xin walked a few steps closer and said coldly.
"What?" Duan Yao looked at Duan Ye Xin in surprise.
Duan Wu Xin picked up a white jade key and gently touched the shackles on Duan Yao's arms. The colorful shackles fell off automatically.
The shackles were the dharma treasures that Sky Mountain Sect used to imprison felons. Duan Wu Xin had the key to this Ice Fire Shackle, and even Duan Yao's mother didn't dare to steal it.
Duan Yao was happy to regain her freedom, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
"Dad really can't bear to lock me up for too long …" Duan Yao rubbed her arms and followed Duan Wu Xin out of the cave.
Duan Ye Xin pulled Duan Yao up on his flying sword.
After being locked up for a few days, Duan Yao's body was very weak. She swayed a little as she hurriedly tidied up her clothes. She guessed that she still had to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive other punishments.
It was not her father's style to release her after only two or three days. But no matter what, it was still better than the severe punishment of the Icefire Shackles.
Duan Yao gritted her teeth and was prepared to be punished again.
Under the flying sword, the once glorious Tianshan Sect was now in ruins. Although the overall structure was intact, the main buildings had been destroyed and turned into ruins.
The hatred of destroying the sect was absolutely irreconcilable! Freed from the cold cave, Duan Yao's mood became heavy again.
She suddenly realized that the direction of the flying sword wasn't toward the center of Sky Mountain Sect, but outside of it.
"Dad, where are you taking me?" Duan Yao suddenly asked in panic.
She knew that she had done something wrong and should be punished, but they wouldn't throw her out of the sect, right?
"Fifth Heaven, Ethereal Summit," Duan Ye said.
Duan Yao's eyes widened. "Father wants to hand me over to …"
Duan Wu Xin's expression was cold, and he didn't speak.
"Father … I want to see mother! I want to see Martial Granduncle! "Duan Yao immediately raised her hand to resist.
Duan Wu Xin waved his hand, and a white rope-like magic treasure wrapped around Duan Yao's hands.
"Grand Uncle Master has agreed," Duan Wu Xin said lightly.
Before he went to the back mountain to catch Duan Yao, Duan Ye found Lingwu Master and told him Ethereal Summit's request. Lingwu Master, who had dropped to the Foundation Establishment Realm, waved his hand gloomily and didn't say anything.
Sky Mountain Sect was at the critical moment of life and death. Facing an opponent who was 100 times more powerful than them, they didn't even have a chance to struggle. No matter how much Lingwu Master loved Duan Yao, he had to hand her over.
For Lingwu Master and Duan Ye Xin, the 1,000-year-old foundation of Sky Mountain Sect was more important. Duan Ye Xin knew that Duan Yao's mother would go crazy if she heard the news, so he didn't mention it to her.
"This …" Duan Yao widened her eyes, not expecting that Lingwu Master, who loved her the most, would be willing to hand her over.
When Grand Uncle Master was in danger, she used her body to protect him, but …
Duan Yao turned to look at Duan Ye Xin's cold face.
She was dissatisfied with her father, but she always felt that her father would protect her.
However, it seemed like her daughter's life and future were far less important than Sky Mountain Sect.
There was only one Sky Mountain Sect, but they could have more daughters …
Standing on the flying sword silently, Duan Yao gave up yelling and bit her lips so hard that her white teeth broke.
If she weren't the only daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master, she would have become a cauldron of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with her talent. Now, she just didn't have this protection …
Seeing that Duan Wu Xin didn't say anything to comfort her, Duan Yao's heart was filled with sorrow, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
A Core Formation Realm cultivator who was stepping on a green longsword flew past them.
"Elder Senior Brother! Elder Senior Brother! "Duan Yao suddenly yelled.
This cultivator was Ye Yan, the Elder Senior Brother who had taken Duan Yao to Fifth Heaven to investigate White Sand Sect.
This Eldest Senior Brother was handsome and dignified. At the same time, his cultivation aptitude was also excellent. He was Duan Ye Xin's first direct disciple, so he was the Elder Senior Brother of Duan Ye Xin's faction.
Ye Yan liked Duan Yao very much, and he was always at Duan Yao's beck and call. He had said that he would protect Duan Yao for the rest of her life.
Seeing Ye Yan, Duan Yao thought that he was here to save her, and she yelled at him as if he was her life-saving straw.
She didn't like Elder Senior Brother Ye Yan at all, but she was touched that Ye Yan risked his life to stop her.
She would rather marry Elder Senior Brother Ye Yan than enter Ethereal Summit and be bullied!
"Master, Chuxiong Sect found one 10,000-year-old Green Wood and two Huiyang Grass, and we got Herb King Master's dharma notes. Another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator recovered his realm!"
Ye Yan rushed to Duan Ye Xin and reported respectfully.
Hearing this news, Duan Ye Xin's face darkened, knowing that Sky Mountain Sect didn't have much time left.
Right now, almost all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven had lost their realms, and their strength was still average. However, if more sects had Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who recovered their realms, Sky Mountain Sect would be in real danger.
If Herb King Master's fury couldn't be quenched, Herb King Master might not even need to do it himself. If Herb King Master promised to give Sky Mountain Sect more essence-unlocking notes, Sky Mountain Sect would be wiped out with one word from Herb King Master!
"Find all the spiritual herbs that are above 10,000-year-old!" Duan Ye Xin ordered.
"Yes, Master!" Ye Yan nodded and looked at Duan Yao who was behind Duan Ye Xin.
Duan Yao looked at Ye Yan for help, but this Elder Senior Brother immediately avoided Duan Yao's gaze.
Instantly, Duan Yao was disheartened.
Ye Yan was the most talented and powerful cultivator among the younger generation, and he was the eldest disciple of the current Sect Master, Duan Ye Xin. Perhaps in a few hundred years, he would inherit the position of Sky Mountain Sect's Sect Master.
Mo Lianshan, the First Elder's favorite disciple, could compete with him for the position of Sect Master.
However, although Mo Lianshan survived the catastrophe on Fifth Heaven, he had dropped to the Foundation Establishment Realm and couldn't be compared with Ye Yan anymore.
Since Ye Yan was running some errands in the sect, he wasn't in charge of the search mission on Fifth Heaven. Therefore, he stayed in the sect and was still at mid-tier Core Formation Realm!
Under such circumstances, Ye Yan didn't have to provoke Duan Ye Xin.
He tried to please Duan Yao because she was the only daughter of the Sect Master. However, Duan Yao was now a 'sinner' of Sky Mountain Sect and was about to be sent to Fifth Heaven. There was no need for him to get involved!
Indeed, he liked Duan Yao, but his future was more important! Besides, Duan Yao was a woman who would become a cauldron for a grand cultivator, and he looked down on her even more!
Therefore, he wouldn't even say a word of concern to Duan Ye Xin since he was afraid that Duan Ye Xin would suspect him of having an affair with Duan Yao.
Stepping on the sword, Duan Ye Xin broke through the clouds and dashed toward Fifth Heaven.
Duan Yao looked back at Sky Mountain Sect, which was getting smaller and smaller. Then, she looked at the beautiful scenery on Sixth Heaven and was speechless.
Fate, which had been smooth sailing, suddenly took a turn. She had thought that she would be happy forever, but she finally knew that the so-called happiness was only because Sky Mountain Sect was superior to other sects.
When facing a force that was more powerful than Sky Mountain Sect, she, the daughter of the Sect Master, was less than a commodity.
"The fate of Sky Mountain Sect is in your hands. When you encounter Herb King Master, do what you have to do, and you might be able to survive. If you don't want Sky Mountain Sect to perish together with you and pity the tens of thousands of disciples of Sky Mountain Sect, then … "
Duan Ye Xin said a few words and didn't continue.
He had made up his mind to send Duan Yao to Ethereal Summit and help Sky Mountain Sect survive this catastrophe. After that, he would return to the mountains and leave the sect to the elders or elect a new Sect Master.
Herb King Master was mysterious, and it wasn't a bad thing for Duan Yao to be taken into the valley by him. If Sky Mountain Sect was destroyed, Duan Yao might be able to survive.
Near Ethereal Summit, a red light shot up into the sky.
Bull Master of Chuxiong Sect had indeed recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm, and he released layers of suppression.
Cheers came from the campsite of Chuxiong Sect in the east.
The cultivators of the other sects looked jealous or anxious, and the masters who hadn't recovered their realms were furious in their tents.
Ethereal Summit didn't want any treasures; they only wanted the specific spiritual herbs. That was why the sects on Sixth Heaven were willing to turn over all the land on Fifth and Sixth Heaven to find these spiritual herbs.
Duan Ye Xin landed at the entrance of Ethereal Summit with an expressionless Duan Yao. He clenched his fists but didn't know what to say.
Swoosh!
Little White, the level 3 snow lion, flew out of the valley and landed at the entrance, glaring at Duan Yao. Undoubtedly, it was here to pick up Duan Yao.
"I'm afraid we won't see each other again …" Duan Ye Xin looked at Duan Yao and was about to say something.
However, Duan Yao didn't want to listen. Disheartened, she sat on Little White's back.
She threw the two jade pendants on her waist to Duan Ye Xin and said, "Give these to my mom! I, Duan Yao, won't come back no matter if I'm dead or alive! "
She had made the sacrifice for Sky Mountain Sect to repay her parents for raising her. From now on, she was done with them!
Little White carried Duan Yao on its back and flew into the valley where the red energy sphere was set up.
Seeing Duan Yao disappearing into the energy sphere, Duan Ye Xin shook his head with heartache and left. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
