Chapter 124 Speed ​​of Life and Death

You Suyi held immense prestige within the White Lotus Sect; even several Core Formation Realm Elders looked to her for direction.

As long as the higher-ups did not object, these Foundation Establishment Realm Disciples stepping forward was undoubtedly courting death.

In truth, for these Disciples, changing allegiance was not an unacceptable matter.

It was just that this event was too sudden, and many people could not accept it immediately.

Just a few days ago, they were mortal enemies fighting for their lives; now they were supposed to merge Sects, and for a time, they simply could not adapt.

After eliminating a few troublemakers, everyone quickly sobered up; no one dared to object anymore.

To prevent any leaks, everyone immediately began relocating without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, the numerous Outer Sect Disciples had no idea what had happened, nor did they know what awaited them.

Because of this, You Suyi could only set up a secret sound transmission method at the headquarters; everything would become clear in two hours.

As for how many people could escape by then, they could only leave it to fate.

You Suyi led the many Disciples away from the headquarters through the Teleportation Array, instantly appearing in the wilderness a hundred miles away.

The entire process was done without anyone noticing, and then she summoned the Dharma Boat and Flying Ship to head toward the Joyous Union Sect.

As for Ye Fan, he had long since contacted his Sect. After explaining the whole story, Qing Mingzi and the others also frowned.

The turn of events far exceeded everyone's expectations, and deciding how to proceed became the utmost priority.

Some people worried that this was a feigned injury tactic staged by the White Lotus Sect in collusion with the Demonic Path, intended for a sudden betrayal later on.

But others felt that this opportunity must not be missed. If they successfully absorbed the White Lotus Sect, the Joyous Union Sect's strength would surely surge, potentially allowing them to contend with the Upper Three Sects.

The two sides argued incessantly, and in the end, it was Qing Mingzi who made the final decision.

"All Core Formation Realm Cultivators within the Sect will go with me to engage the enemy and provide aid to the White Lotus Sect!"

Although the two sides had been arguing just moments before, once Qing Mingzi made a final decision, the opposition immediately fell silent and executed the order. This was one of the reasons why the Joyous Union Sect could become a pillar among the Nine Sects.

Qing Mingzi and his group headed out to provide aid at maximum speed. On the other side, You Suyi also pushed the Flying Ship and Dharma Boat to their limits, hoping to escape farther before the Four Demonic Sects discovered them. The three parties were engaged in a dramatic race against life and death.

"I have already contacted the Sect. The Sect Head is personally leading people to meet us. We estimate we should be able to meet in half a day."

Ye Fan's words allowed You Suyi to relax slightly, but her expression did not improve much.

Although the speed of the Dharma Boat and Flying Ship was not slow, it was still significantly inferior to the flight speed of a Core Formation Realm Cultivator.

Too many things could happen in half a day. If the Demonic Path forces caught up before the Joyous Union Sect arrived, the White Lotus Sect might not survive this calamity.

All Ye Fan could do was offer a few words of comfort and continuously contact his Sect to communicate their latest position, hoping they could arrive in the shortest possible time.

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

You Tan suddenly spoke up to thank him, causing Ye Fan to be slightly stunned.

Although Ye Fan didn't say anything, You Tan silently noticed how hard he had worked on this matter.

If he hadn't worked so hard to mediate, the Joyous Union Sect probably wouldn't have accepted the White Lotus Sect so easily.

"How should I thank you?"

As she spoke, You Tan leaned against Ye Fan, her captivating beautiful eyes sparkling with flirtatious charm, her slender jade fingers tracing across his chest, exuding a myriad of seductive allure.

"If you really want to thank me... do you still remember what I asked for last time?"

Upon hearing this, You Tan's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she softly cursed Ye Fan for only thinking about such things, realizing she had truly been tricked by him before.

"Oh, so you agree then?"

"Hmph, you already have me, what's the point of disagreeing?"

You Tan gave him a sidelong glance with annoyance, an expression of indescribable shame on her face. Her seductive little expression ignited Ye Fan's desire.

If the timing hadn't been wrong, he wouldn't have been able to resist taking her right then and there.

The two were openly showing affection by the side of the ship, causing many White Lotus Sect Disciples to feel heartbroken, their faces filled with the expression of lost love.

You Suyi turned her head away, looking as if she couldn't bear to watch, thinking to herself if she had truly fallen behind the times.

Are young people nowadays really this unrestrained?

They are facing imminent death, and they are still acting so intimately?!

She wanted to say something, but Ye Fan was currently the White Lotus Sect's lifeline; she could only pretend not to see such a small matter.

The Flying Ship and Dharma Boat traveled for more than two hours without any sign of pursuers, which allowed You Suyi and the others to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

According to Ye Fan's estimation, they should meet the Joyous Union Sect reinforcements in at most another hour or two, and then they would be completely safe.

But before You Suyi could fully catch her breath, several black dots suddenly appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying towards the Dharma Boat. That familiar aura caused You Suyi's expression to change drastically.

"It's people from the Blood Demon Sect!"

"You Suyi, you can't run! Hand over the Jade Slip immediately! Otherwise, I will annihilate your entire White Lotus Sect today!"

Li Minghe's furious roar echoed everywhere. The oppressive might of a Core Formation Realm Expert made the White Lotus Sect Disciples' scalps tingle, their eyes filled with despair.

Li Minghe hadn't expected You Suyi to use such a drastic measure of cutting off her tail to survive. When the Four Demonic Sects arrived, the White Lotus Sect headquarters was already in chaos.

It turned out that many Outer Sect Disciples had heard the message from the sound transmission formation, and the entire headquarters instantly exploded. Once they understood, they scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that being a step too slow would result in them being used as a banner by the Four Demonic Sects.

When the people from the Four Demonic Sects arrived and saw the chaos within the headquarters, they understood what had happened, and their faces turned pale with anger.

"Chase them! They definitely haven't run far!"

Because their forces were dispersed, the Four Demonic Sects could only split up to pursue. Coincidentally, Li Minghe led his group to catch up.

You Suyi and the others had grim expressions and all flew off the Flying Ship, rising into the air. However, upon seeing who had arrived, they actually breathed a small sigh of relief.

Due to the dispersion of numbers, Li Minghe only had five Core Formation Realm Cultivators with him.

The top-tier combat strength on both sides was evenly matched, seemingly leaving room for maneuver.

"I never thought the dignified Great Cult Master You would have such a ruthless side. Discarding tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples so easily—where did your usual righteous facade go?"

Li Minghe sneered.

"If Sect Master Li hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have resorted to this strategy."

"Enough nonsense. Hand over the Jade Slip, or today I'll send you to join those tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples."

"Then we'll see if you have the ability!"

The two sides exchanged no pleasantries and immediately engaged in battle. The ten Core Formation Realm Experts clashed, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Without the control of You Suyi and the others, the speed of the Flying Ship and Dharma Boat dropped to its limit. Once a victor emerged from this fight, Li Minghe and the others would immediately catch up.

Ye Fan, You Tan, and the others stared intently at the battle in the sky, but as the situation developed, their expressions gradually turned grim.

"This won't do... At this rate, we can't hold out much longer."
