"Sect Master, something bad has happened."
In the main hall of the Flying Crane Sect, a deacon rushed in from the outside in shock.
Bai Hongze frowned and said unhappily, "What's the matter? Why are you panicking?!"
Even the elders in the main hall were shocked.
At that moment, they were all looking at the deacon who had barged in unhappily.
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, the deacon instantly felt immense pressure. Hearing this, he forced himself to calm down, but his tone was still extremely fast, "Reporting to Sect Master, a person who claims to be an elder of Yuan Sect is currently being pursued by experts.
He's heading towards the sect now. "
"What!"
Hearing that, Bai Hongze stood up from his seat with a shocked expression on his face.
As for the other elders, their faces were filled with shock too.
An elder of Yuan Sect!
Being chased by someone!
This amount of information was a bit too much.
However, Bai Hongze only hesitated for a moment before walking out of the main hall.
Although he didn't know why an elder of Yuan Sect was being chased.
However, there was one thing that he was clear about.
If the other party died in front of the Flying Crane Sect's mountain gate, the Flying Crane Sect would definitely not be able to get away with it.
At best, they would be leaving him in the lurch.
At worst, they would be indirectly killing him.
Based on Bai Hongze's understanding of these top sects, they were all domineering and tyrannical. As long as they were involved, they might be annihilated at any time.
Especially Qin Shujian's reputation.
Among the thirteen prefectures of the Great Zhao Dynasty, he wasn't considered great.
As the reputation of this Array Formation Master spread.
The news of the destruction of the sect had long spread.
A small conflict.
It would lead to the destruction of the sect.
If an elder died in front of the Flying Crane Sect's mountain gate, Yuan Sect would dig up the ancestral grave of the Flying Crane Sect.
Therefore …
After hearing the news, Bai Hongze had already made up his mind.
That was …
The elder of Yuan Sect must not die, or rather, he must not die in the territory of the Flying Crane Sect.
As Bai Hongze rushed out.
The elders in the main hall couldn't sit still anymore and left the main hall one after another.
Outside.
Zhang Ergou was still being chased.
However, he already saw the mountain gate of the Flying Crane Sect.
Not only that.
He also saw cultivators coming out of the sect.
After a rough scan of his aura, he found a few Physical Invulnerability Realm experts. Among them, there was even a suspected Peak Physical Invulnerability Realm expert.
There was almost no doubt about it.
Zhang Ergou knew that these people must be the upper echelons of this sect.
Furthermore, the fact that they had a peak Physical Invulnerability Realm cultivator meant that they were considered top-notch among the sects of the True Dominion.
"Is the elder of the Origin Sect, Bai Hongze of the Flying Crane Sect welcoming you?!"
A strange glint flashed across Bai Hongze's eyes as he looked at Zhang Ergou and the Qiankun Bow beside him. Soon after, he cupped his hands together and said in a clear voice.
The Dao artifact followed suit.
As expected of the foundation of a top sect.
An elder-level problem would be able to wield a Dao Artifact.
To think that his Flying Crane Sect only had a spirit artifact guarding the sect.
Even so.
However, Bai Hongze wasn't greedy at all. He knew very well what he should and shouldn't take.
On the other side …
Upon hearing that, Zhang Ergou immediately sped up and landed in front of Bai Hongze. "Origin Sect Outer Sect Elder Zhang Ergou. Greetings, Sect Master Bai!"
"Elder Zhang, you are too kind."
The corners of Bai Hongze's eyes twitched slightly when he heard the name "Zhang Ergou". However, he recovered very quickly.
If he remembered correctly …
The Origin Sect used to be a bandit village.
Given the standard of a bandit village, Bai Hongze only needed to make a simple guess as to what kind of name the people inside would have.
Therefore, after hearing Zhang Ergou's name, he was even more certain of his identity.
Zhang Ergou said, "This time, I came to the Fallen Moon Prefecture under the orders of the Sect Master. However, I accidentally encountered a strong enemy. I hope that the Flying Crane Sect can lend me a helping hand. I will definitely not forget Sect Master Bai's kindness."
"Well said. Fellow Daoists in the Cultivation World should help each other. There is absolutely no reason for me to sit back and do nothing."
Bai Hongze smiled faintly as he spoke with a strong sense of righteousness.
At this moment …
Qiu Yushan was approaching from afar.
As he was flying over …
That terrifying aura had already caused Bai Hongze's expression to change slightly.
"All disciples of the Flying Crane Sect above the True Martial Realm, get ready to fight!"
An order was given.
Immediately, many disciples of the Flying Crane Sect appeared. The group of Elders also stood on Bai Hongze.
Immediately after …
The aura that had gathered erupted and clashed directly with Qiu Yushan.
Cultivators were flying!
This was the standard of the Airborne Realm.
If they had been in the Spirit Protectorate, given the current strength of the Flying Crane Sect, Bai Hongze might not have dared to clash directly with Qiu Yushan.
However …
This was only the True Dominion.
Inside the True Dominion …
The peak True Martial Realm was the limit.
Apart from people like Qin Shujian, who had condensed the Universal Sky Lock, anyone who reached the peak True Martial Realm would not be weaker than those experts at the Spirit Martial Realm.
This was the strength of the True Dominion's shackles.
This was also where Bai Hongze's confidence came from.
So what if one was at the Airborne Realm?
So what if one was at the Divine Martial Realm?
A bunch of True Martial Realm and Physical Invulnerability Realm cultivators were waiting here. Why would they be afraid of a mere peak True Martial Realm cultivator whose strength had been forcefully suppressed?
Furthermore …
Zhang Ergou, the outer sect Elder of the Origin Sect, was also present.
The Cosmic Bow floating beside him was also a powerful killing weapon.
This way …
What was there to be afraid of about a cultivator with an unknown background?
Boom!
The air exploded.
Qiu Yushan had already appeared 30 feet away from Bai Hongze and the others.
Upon seeing the many cultivators of the Flying Crane Sect before him and Zhang Ergou, who was standing beside Bai Hongze, his eyes flashed coldly.
"I will only take his life. The people of the Flying Crane Sect had better not interfere without permission. Otherwise, it would not be worth it if your sect was destroyed in the future!"
Qiu Yushan pointed at Zhang Ergou and scanned the cultivators of the Flying Crane Sect with a sinister gaze. Finally, his gaze stopped on Bai Hongze.
The threat in his words.
It was already beyond words.
Upon hearing that …
Bai Hongze did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Qiu Yushan solemnly and cupped his fists slightly. "As the saying goes, it is better to squash enmity than keep it alive. May I know which sect you are from? What feud do you have with Elder Zhang?"
"There are some things that a small sect like the True Dominion has no right to interfere in. You don't dare offend the Origin Sect, but do you dare offend me?"
Qiu Yushan glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully.
"If you help the Origin Sect today, the Flying Crane Sect will be destroyed tomorrow. I want to see if Qin Shujian can protect the Flying Crane Sect!"
"Aren't your words a little too arrogant?"
Bai Hongze's eyes flashed with anger, but his heart sank.
Qiu Yushan's confident words …
This made him feel uneasy.
The other party had dared to chase after Zhang Ergou so brazenly even after knowing his identity. The power behind him was definitely not weak. It might even be a top-notch sect.
If this had been any other time …
Bai Hongze would definitely not have gotten involved.
However, it was different now.
It was still the same thing.
If Zhang Ergou died in the territory of the Flying Crane Sect, the Flying Crane Sect would not be able to stay out of this.
Therefore …
Bai Hongze did not have the right to stand by and do nothing.
It did not matter if he helped or not.
The Flying Crane Sect would definitely face trouble.
If he did not help …
If Zhang Ergou died, the power behind the person in front of him would not remember anything good about the Flying Crane Sect. When the Origin Sect came, the Flying Crane Sect would only have a path of death.
On the contrary …
If he helped save Zhang Ergou, he might offend the power behind the other person.
However, he was indebted to him for saving his life.
The Origin Sect would most likely not sit by and watch the Flying Crane Sect be destroyed.
One would definitely die.
One would not necessarily die.
Bai Hongze had already made a decision in his heart which one to choose.
When he thought of this …
Bai Hongze instantly became more unyielding. He took a step forward and said proudly, "With my Flying Crane Sect here today, Elder Zhang won't be able to harm a single hair on my head. Please leave!"
"Good, good, good. The Flying Crane Sect is really gutsy!"
Qiu Yushan was obviously smiling, but his face was frighteningly ferocious. There seemed to be some changes in the depths of his eyes.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body, about to engulf the entire Flying Crane Sect.
"You have gone overboard!"
As soon as Bai Hongze finished speaking, a powerful aura rose from his body and confronted Qiu Yushan.
He was one of the few famous peak True Martial Realm experts in the True Dominion.
In terms of strength …
He had never been afraid of anyone in the True Dominion.
"Overboard … There is something even more overboard!"
Qiu Yushan shouted angrily. He took a step forward and pressed his palm toward Bai Hongze.
When the palm landed, Bai Hongze waved his sleeve.
Bai Hongze flicked his sleeve and released a powerful Gang Qi, which collided with the attack.
Rumble!
This was a fight.
Bai Hongze's body swayed slightly, but he still stood still.
Upon seeing this …
Qiu Yushan did not want to waste his breath on him. He immediately took out the bronze mirror and a beam of golden light shot out of it.
When the golden light beam landed, Bai Hongze was alerted. The Quintessential Essence in his body erupted completely while his face turned solemn. When he pointed his finger, the condensed essence of his finger transformed into a white crane and went forward.
Boom!
The golden beam of light fell, and the white crane in the sky disappeared without a sound.
Bai Hongze's face changed drastically.
He left his original spot without hesitation.
Whoosh!
As soon as he left, the golden light beam landed on his original spot.
The ground melted and shattered silently, and a bottomless hole appeared.
"Today, I will exterminate the Flying Crane Sect and bury you with the people of the Origin Sect!"
Qiu Yushan let out an insolent laugh. He formed a seal with both hands and the copper mirror flew into the air. In the blink of an eye, it grew to several feet in size. There seemed to be endless flames rising within it as terrifying golden light flickered back and forth.
Meanwhile …
Two Dao seals appeared in the middle of the bronze mirror.
The moment he saw the Dao seals …
Bai Hongze's face changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Two-seal Dao Artifact!"
