"Senior Martial Brother, the survival of the sect is the most important thing. As for the rest, we will shoulder it together after this matter is over. Right now, the most important thing is to protect the sect."
"That's right!"
"Senior Martial Brother Sect Master, the survival of the sect is the most important thing. Although we are not sure if the other party will come, it's always good to be prepared in advance."
"What's left is nothing. After all, this matter concerns the survival of the sect. We don't dare to be careless in the slightest."
"You all …" Ling Jianzi was stunned when he saw the reactions of his fellow disciples. The troubled expression on his face disappeared as his gaze fell on Wang Yun.
"Junior Martial Brother Wang Yun, you were the first to inform us of this matter. I wonder if you can make a trip with me. After all, you are the one who knows the most about this matter."
"You see …"
As soon as Ling Jianzi said that, the remaining elders of the sect all gathered their gazes on Wang Yun. Their eyes were filled with pleading as if they were afraid that Wang Yun would not go with them.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Yun understood their worries. "Senior Martial Brother Sect Master, you don't have to say anything about this matter."
"You …"
Everyone seemed to have misunderstood Wang Yun's meaning. When they heard Wang Yun's words, their expressions changed.
"Uh …"
"Well, what I mean is, even if Senior Martial Brother Sect Master didn't say anything, I would still go with you. After all, I was the one who knew about this matter first. Furthermore … I still hope to be on good terms with the other party."
"I believe that even if the three old ancestors were to come out, they would not be a match for that expert. Therefore … we still have to look at this matter from the perspective of seeking peace. "
"What?"
Everyone agreed. Although they were not very clear about the strength of the sect's old ancestors, their legends had always been circulating in the sect.
It was said that the three of them were once from the Central Province Continent. Furthermore, it seemed that the Sword Sect was also a branch of the Central Province Continent.
Of course, other than the three old ancestors, only Ling Jianzi, the Sect Master, knew about this matter.
Of course, the three ancestors that Wang Yun mentioned were no match for that person. This made them even more curious about the expert that Wang Yun mentioned. Why had they never heard of such a person before?
Similarly, fear was born along with curiosity. It was like a maggot in one's bones, impossible to get rid of.
"Alas!"
Wang Yun understood the shock in everyone's hearts very well. "Let's not talk about this matter for now. As for how powerful that person is, let's wait for him or Liu Changtian to come before we know."
"Previously, Liu Changtian's cultivation was only at the level of a Martial General. Looking at how strong Liu Changtian is now, if it's really as that person said, that Liu Changtian can challenge the entire Sword Sect in one year, I'm afraid …"
"Afraid of what?" Seeing Wang Yun pause, Ling Jianzi asked curiously.
"If that's really the case, then our sect is in danger. After all, the dignity of an expert can't be trampled on, and their words can't be changed."
"…" Everyone was speechless.
Everyone was speechless at Wang Yun's words. At this moment, apart from worry and fear, they didn't show anything else on their faces.
"Alright, let's end this matter here. From now on, everyone should be careful and keep an eye on your disciples. During this period of time, don't cause any trouble."
"If anyone violates the order this time, there's no need to say anything. Just abolish their cultivation and expel them from the sect."
Looking at the elders below, Ling Jianzi continued, "It's the same even for your personal disciples. You don't have to plead for leniency, understand?"
The elders, who understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded obediently. "We understand."
Ling Jianzi nodded in satisfaction at the response of the junior brothers and then waved his hand. "All of you may leave. Don't tell the disciples about this matter first, lest they panic."
"Yes, we'll take our leave."
"Go!"
After everyone said that, they bowed respectfully and turned to leave the main hall, heading to their respective palaces.
Of course, apart from Ling Jianzi, Wang Yun was the only one who didn't leave the main hall.
"Senior Brother, although this matter is ultimately based on seeking peace, we can't guarantee that the other party won't stop. In this case, we still have to think about the issue of the inheritance of the disciples."
After everyone left, Wang Yun spoke to Ling Jianzi. This was a problem that he had been considering. After all, if the sect was really destroyed, what would happen to the inheritance of the sect?
If there was no inheritance of such a huge sect, it would mean that the sect had completely disappeared from this domain and become an inconspicuous grain of sand in the long river of history.
Wang Yun didn't want to see this happen. Although the Sword Sect wasn't the strongest sect in the entire domain, it was still a large sect with a legacy of thousands of years.
"Yes! Junior Brother Wang Yun's words make sense! " He had also thought about this problem, but he couldn't figure out who exactly should inherit this huge responsibility.
"In that case, does Senior Brother Sect Leader already have someone in mind, or have you thought about what to do?" Wang Yun was curious.
"This …" Ling Jianzi didn't deliberately hide anything from Wang Yun. "Junior Brother, to tell you the truth, although I've thought about this matter, I don't know who to let inherit this inheritance. Although there are many outstanding disciples in the sect, you also understand their thoughts."
"Not everyone is like this, but it's possible that there are people from other sects or wealthy families in the secular world, kingdoms, and dynasties among them. There are many ancient books in the sect. If they are passed to the secular world, you can imagine what kind of disaster it will bring."
Hearing this, Wang Yun fell silent. He understood the importance of this. After all, if the sect's cultivation method was obtained by the royal family of a secular kingdom or dynasty, they would use the cultivation method to create an army of cultivators. In the end, the only ones who would suffer would be those weak ordinary people.
In this way, the final karma would be counted on the heads of the Sword Sect, and it would never disappear.
"If that's the case, then …"
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now." Wang Yun seemed to want to say something, but he was interrupted by Ling Jianzi as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Let's go and meet the three ancestors together. The sooner we let them know about this matter, the better it will be for the Sword Sect."
"Well, okay!"
Wang Yun nodded. As for what he wanted to say before, he didn't say it after being interrupted.
"Let's go."
Ling Jianzi said. Then, his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot. Wang Yun was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and chased after him.
At this moment, the two of them didn't know that just as they were thinking about how to solve this matter, the thing and person they were most afraid of had already arrived.
Not far from the Sword Sect, in a city called Dreamcloud City, Liu Changtian was sitting by the window in a restaurant in the city. There was a hesitant expression on his face.
Regarding the task Lin Ray gave him, to be honest, he was really unwilling to start a massacre. After all, those people didn't have any deep hatred with the two of them. Even if there was a deep hatred, it wouldn't involve the entire sect.
Although the Sword Sect was no longer a lofty existence in his heart after he met Lin Ray, the Sword Sect didn't usually do all kinds of evil. They also didn't condone their disciples to bully men and tyrannize the world, kill people and rob them. Towards such a sect, he … couldn't do it.
However … he couldn't disobey his master's orders. If he disobeyed the first task Lin Ray gave him because of this matter, then … it would be a little unreasonable.
"F * ck, so annoying."
He grumbled. Then, he picked up the wine on the table and took a big gulp. He raised his hand and sent out a spiritual seal. A paper crane formed by spiritual energy floated in the air.
Seeing the paper crane form, a smile appeared on his face. "As expected, Master's cultivation method is too powerful. I'm afraid that even ordinary Martial Emperors can't do this."
Liu Changtian was wrong about this. It wasn't that ordinary Martial Emperors couldn't do it. Even the Martial God couldn't condense a spiritual crane. After all, this method was only used by cultivators.
As for Martial Cultivators, they just used the simplest method, which was to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper their bodies. Even if they could absorb spiritual energy, it was only the Origin Energy separated from the spiritual energy.
Looking at the spiritual crane, Liu Changtian said, "Elder Wang Yun, I'm Liu Changtian. I'm currently in Dreamcloud City's Dreamcloud Restaurant. Why don't you come and see me if you have time?"
After saying that, he waved his hand. The spiritual crane turned into a stream of light and rushed toward Wang Yun.
Liu Changtian hadn't completely understood the spiritual crane's discovery. Similarly, he didn't know how fast the spiritual crane was.
"Swoosh …"
A stream of light streaked across the sky above the Sword Sect. At this time, no one was idle. Even the elders of the sect didn't notice it.
At the back mountain of the Sword Sect, Ling Jianzi flew quickly and rushed toward the forbidden area of the Sword Sect.
"Junior Brother, hurry up …"
"Hmm?"
Ling Jianzi, who was flying for a thousand years, felt a wave of fluctuation behind him. He turned his head and saw a stream of light rushing down from the sky. It rushed to Wang Yun at a speed that couldn't be followed by the naked eye and stopped in front of her.
"This is …"
The appearance of this scene shocked Ling Jianzi. What kind of means and what kind of realm was this to be able to do something like this? The spirit crane had flown here to look for Wang Yun, and … the sect's grand array did not even put up any resistance.
This made him feel very surprised. After all, he was in control of the sect's large array. If there were any changes in the large array, he would be the first to know. But now …
The thing in front of him had arrived in front of the two of them, but the sect's large array didn't fluctuate at all.
Fortunately, this was a paper crane. If it had been a shrinking cultivator, it would have been terrible.
As he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences of such a phenomenon.
"This is …?" Seeing the spiritual crane land in front of him, Wang Yun hesitated. He was wondering if he should catch it, but at the same time, he was afraid of danger. After all, there were very few people in the world who could do this. At the very least, he had never heard of or seen such a person.
"Elder Wang Yun, I'm Liu Changtian. I'm currently at the Kaiyun Restaurant in Yunmeng City. Why don't you come and see me when you have the time?" Just as Wang Yun was hesitating whether to catch it or not, Liu Changtian's voice exploded in Wang Yun's mind.
"What?"
"It's … it's really here!"
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yun's mind buzzed and went blank. He had wanted to put up a defense previously, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Seeing that his Junior Brother was in a daze, a hint of worry surged in his heart. "Junior Brother?"
"Junior Brother, you're awake!"
"Senior Brother, you can go to the Patriarch's place by yourself. I have an urgent matter and have to go there. I can't leave."
"That's all. I'll leave first."
After coming back to his senses, he said to Ling Jianzi, who was beside him. Then, he turned around and rushed to the sect's gate as fast as he could.
"This …"
Looking at Wang Yun who disappeared, Ling Jianzi was in a daze. He had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he didn't know why Wang Yun was so anxious, he vaguely guessed that it should have something to do with the spirit crane that appeared just now.
"I hope nothing bad will happen to him," he prayed in his heart. Then, without thinking too much, he turned around and rushed to his destination again.
As for Wang Yun, after receiving Liu Changtian's message, he rushed to Dreamy Cloud City without stopping for a moment. He didn't dare to stop at all on the way. It was not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.
Because this might be related to the survival of the sect, so …
A few hours later, Wang Yun finally arrived at Kaiyun Restaurant in Dreamy Cloud City. He walked into the restaurant and glanced at everyone present. Finally, his eyes fixed on Liu Changtian who was sitting by the window.
A smile appeared on his face as he walked over. If someone looked carefully, they would see that behind that smile, there was melancholy and worry.
"You're here!"
Sensing that someone was approaching, he turned his head and saw Wang Yun's figure. He smiled and waved his hand to greet him.
"Mm!"
Nodding his head, Wang Yun sat opposite Liu Changtian. His eyes fell on the other party. His original expression disappeared and was replaced by shock, shock, and disbelief.
"How is it possible? Your … your cultivation …"
Wang Yun noticed that Liu Changtian's cultivation was unfathomable to him. Even Liu Changtian was like an insurmountable mountain in front of him. This was an earth-shaking change from Liu Changtian a year ago.
A year ago, the two of them were in the same realm. At that time, Wang Yun was very confident that he could defeat Liu Changtian. But … now …
Now, not to mention defeating Liu Changtian, Wang Yun felt that Liu Changtian could kill him with just one finger.
This change made Wang Yun feel a little speechless. Of course, there was jealousy, but there was no hatred. After all, this was the result of their own efforts.
He did not blame the heavens or the earth. He only wished that he was incapable. Who asked him to be incapable?
"It's nothing. I'm cultivating with my master. This little improvement is nothing. After all, in my master's eyes, I'm so weak." Liu Changtian did not lie about this. It really happened.
"Uh …"
"Your … your master is really strong." At this moment, Wang Yun's heart was in turmoil. He had mixed feelings.
"It's alright. He …" When he thought of how his cultivation had grown by being tortured, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became unnatural.
"Let's not talk about it anymore."
He did not want to mention Lin Ray anymore. After all, whenever he mentioned Liu Changtian, he would feel endless hatred.
His gaze became serious again. "I think you should understand the purpose of my visit this time."
"A year ago, my master said that he would let me come to the Sword Sect and destroy it. At that time, you thought it was a joke. But now, you can see that I'm here, so …"
"Is there no other way?"
