The four teams were led by Half-saint Withered Grass, Mo Jingyun, Xue Bat, and Yang Yu.
After the battle with the Taoist Sect, Mo Jingyun was already a Half-saint, and Yang Yu had become a Five-star Great Emperor.
This was, of course, a joyous occasion. If it were in other sects, it would be a joyous occasion worth sending out invitations to various forces to celebrate.
However, in Ying Tian Sect, everyone was already numb to such matters.
With the shock brought about by Gu Xuan and Li Xieyun, these breakthroughs were really nothing.
This was especially so for Mo Jingyun. If anyone dared to congratulate him on becoming a Half-saint, he would dare to fall out with them!
Even his junior brother had become a Saint Realm expert. So what if he became a Half-saint? Wasn't he lagging behind by a lot?
If anyone congratulated him now, that was not congratulating him, but rubbing salt on his wound, deliberately finding fault and mocking him!
It would be strange if he did not fall out with them!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! The four teams disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Half-saint Withered Grass went to the north. This was the first task given to him by Gu Xuan. He was naturally motivated and confident.
This area was just a remote part of the Southeast region. Compared to the Four Major Domains, it was pathetically small and weak. There was no difficulty at all.
Soon, Half-saint Withered Grass saw the first force a few thousand miles away from Ying Tian Sect.
This was a small sect. The entire sect, including the outer sect disciples and servants, did not have more than 10,000 people.
However, although this sect was small, it was well-informed. Everyone in the sect seemed to know that there would be people from Ying Tian Sect coming. Therefore, they all gathered at the martial arts field.
Half-saint Withered Grass wanted to show his power. The Half-saint aura on his body instantly erupted.
The 10,000 people below immediately trembled.
Even the sect leader of this small sect was trembling with fear. He was only a peak Martial Emperor. How could he resist the aura of a Half-saint?
However, he still gritted his teeth and forced himself to be alert. He respectfully cupped his hands at Half-saint Withered Grass.
"Greetings, senior! "Senior, please go back. My Saber Sword Sect has been standing here for a thousand years. Although we have not made any contributions, we have never had any enmity with other sects.
I know that Ying Tian Sect wants to unify the southeastern region and pave the way for the Pill Domain, but the foundation of my Saber Sword Sect cannot be destroyed in my hands!
If Senior wants to force us away, then we can only protect the sect's foundation with our lives! "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect gritted his teeth and stared at the Sage-to-be Withered Grass. His eyes were filled with the will to die.
The group of disciples also gritted their teeth, their faces filled with hatred for a common enemy.
"I vow to live and die with the sect!"
"I vow to live and die with the sect!"
The entire Saber Sword Sect, under someone's lead, began to chant in unison.
Half-saint Withered Grass's expression didn't change. He just chuckled coldly.
"Don't play this game with me. You so-called Modern Realm Sects are all pedantic! Look at you, the Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect, right? You're so old, with one leg in the coffin. You have the nerve to say that you want to live and die with the sect?
Look at the disciples behind you. How old are they? If you want to die, don't drag them down with you. "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect sneered.
"My Saber Sword Sect values inheritance and dignity. If you ask me to abandon the sect, how can I face the ancestors who once supported the sect?
Ying Tian Sect may be powerful now, but if you want to kill all of us, I'm afraid you'll end up as notorious as the Dao Sect.
At that time, a new sect will naturally rise and destroy the so-called number one sect in the world, Ying Tian Sect! "
Half-saint Withered Grass sneered and slapped him from afar.
Slap!
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect was slapped to the ground.
But soon, the Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect got up. He was both surprised and angry.
He was surprised that Half-saint Withered Grass didn't kill him. He was angry that Half-saint Withered Grass humiliated him in front of all his disciples.
"If you have the ability, then kill …"
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect straightened his neck and roared. But before he could finish, he was silenced by a thunderous voice.
"Shut up!"
Half-saint Withered Grass was furious.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. To tell you the truth, I'm a member of a reclusive force. Do you know why a reclusive force is a reclusive force? "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect thought that Half-saint Withered Grass would kill him and was prepared to die. He never expected Half-saint Withered Grass to ask such an irrelevant question.
Before he could react, Half-saint Withered Grass answered his own question.
"Once a sect secludes itself, it's equivalent to being separated from the world. It's difficult to obtain cultivation resources and even harder to recruit disciples. We also have to constantly be wary of those hungry wolves from the Zhongyuan Domain.
Tell me, why do we have to seclude ourselves? "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect was also stunned.
The change in attitude was too fast!
Just a moment ago, he wanted to kill me, but now he's complaining?
But then, why do reclusive sects have to go into seclusion?
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect began to think.
Half-saint Withered Grass continued, "It's all because we were forced to! If we didn't go into seclusion, perhaps our sect would have been slaughtered and our heritage would have been completely cut off.
Compared to the entire sect being slaughtered, what's the point of going into seclusion? If we go into seclusion, we can still come out. If the entire sect is dead, then there's no hope at all. "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect seemed to have understood something.
"That's true, but how can I get over that hurdle in my heart? If we leave this place, where will the Saber Sword Sect go? If we leave this place, will the Saber Sword Sect still be the Saber Sword Sect? "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect said bitterly.
Half-saint Withered Grass shook his head. "It seems that you still don't understand."
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect said blankly, "No, I understand everything you said."
"You don't understand shit!"
Half-saint Withered Grass flew into a rage. He descended and released his aura. It was as if a gust of wind had appeared on the ground, blowing all the disciples and causing them to stagger and complain incessantly.
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect said with a bitter smile, "In the end, you still want to attack my Saber Sword Sect?"
"I'm not going to attack you! Old man, why do you have so much nonsense to say? "
Half-saint Withered Grass lifted the Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect by his collar.
"When did I say that I want you to move? When did I say that if you don't move, I'll destroy your sect? When did my Ying Tian Sect become so unreasonable? "
The Sect Leader of the Saber Sword Sect was completely dumbfounded.
"Then why did you come here?"
"Humph! Old man, listen up. The Ying Tian Sect Leader said that he'll give your sects a good fortune. He'll let your Alchemist Guild branch specially receive alchemists who come and go.
After all, not every alchemist can fly tens of thousands of miles a day like me.
At the same time, you'll be allowed to sell the pills refined in the Pill Domain.
If you have disciples with outstanding talent, you can also send them to the Ying Tian Sect. Of course, once you send them, they'll belong to the Ying Tian Sect. You can forget about getting them back.
Also, the most important thing is that if you agree, everything will be fine. If you don't agree, I'll leave immediately. As long as you don't go against the Ying Tian Sect in the future, the Ying Tian Sect won't be unable to tolerate you. "
After Half-saint Withered Grass said this, he turned around and flew into the sky.
"Seeing how stubborn you were earlier, you probably won't agree. I'll take my leave then."
