210: Rescue, siege!

Over time, Ye Qingyin developed feelings for Dugu Litian.

Dugu Litian also didn't stay in Qingxuan Sect for long during that year; he spent a period of time traveling outside to uncover the truth behind his parents' pursuit and murder.

This was also why his cultivation couldn't catch up to his Senior Brother's.

However, after a period of investigation, he finally uncovered the truth behind his parents' tragic pursuit and murder!

Upon learning the truth, he went directly to their doors and annihilated everyone involved in the pursuit and plotting!

He didn't even leave any possibility for them to rise from the ashes!

Because he knew very well that those people were careless back then, allowing him to escape, which led to their demise.

Now that it was his turn, how could Dugu Litian make such a mistake again?

After his revenge, Dugu Litian's thoughts instantly became much more open-minded, and he no longer dwelled on the pain he had suffered before, beginning to face the world anew.

Naturally, his focus shifted back to Ye Qingyin.

However, neither of them brought up the matter; they both still needed some time.

Dugu Litian didn't turn back, saying calmly, "Wait a moment, no rush."

Soon after Dugu Litian finished speaking, Ling Tian appeared in front, and the Sect Master and the other six Prefecture Masters also appeared one after another.

Ling Tian looked at the several thousand Qingxuan Sect Disciples before him, a look of gratification in his eyes.

Qingxuan Sect was truly too powerful now...

He recalled that back then, the entire Qingxuan Sect only had one Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Sect Master, and even Core Formation Cultivators were fewer than ten!

But now, among the several thousand people before him, every single one was a Soul Transformation Cultivator, and there were even some Void Refining Realm Cultivators!

This was unimaginable before!

Suddenly, Ling Tian thought of Lu Hao again, wondering where his Disciple was now; after more than a year of not seeing him, he truly missed him...

Ling Tian shook his head, casting those thoughts aside, and solemnly addressed the reinforcements before him, "Qingxuan Sect Disciples! This expedition to rescue Heaven Sword Sect is no game; I saw how enthusiastic you all were when signing up yesterday, but you must prioritize safety!"

"Our opponents this time might be very powerful, so yesterday I specifically selected a Formation from Shenbing Pavilion, which is a combined attack Formation for three thousand people!"

Ling Tian was Lu Hao's master, and he had the authority to freely use the Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques Lu Hao had left behind.

As he spoke, Ling Tian waved his hand, and a combined attack Formation dispersed into three thousand copies, landing in the hands of every Disciple who was about to go for the rescue.

The most complex Formation eye fell into the hands of a Void Refining Disciple, who was the most outstanding Disciple in Qing Xuan Prefecture besides Lu Hao.

With the aid of Lu Hao's Medicinal Pills, he had already reached the Void Refining Realm!

"Remember! As soon as you reach Heaven Sword Sect, do not hesitate, immediately form the Formation, and prioritize safety above all else! I hope that when you return, not a single one is missing; you are still three thousand people!"

Dugu Litian heard his Grandmaster speak, cupped his fists, and said, "Grandmaster, please rest assured, I will definitely bring them back safely!"

"Good, depart."

Dugu Litian turned around, looked at the Three Thousand Clear Mystery Sect Disciples, and shouted loudly, "Depart!"

"Yes!"

A mighty roar echoed throughout Qingxuan Sect.

Ling Tian moved his hands, controlling the Dragon Patrol Evasion Array, and a huge opening appeared on the Formation.

Upon seeing this, everyone, like locusts, passed through the opening and headed straight for Heaven Sword Sect!

...

At this moment, around Heaven Sword Sect.

"Brother, what the hell is this Formation! We've been bombarding it for a whole week, and this shield has only lost ten percent of its strength!"

"What kind of defensive Magic Treasure is this, to possess such terrifying defensive power! I think, maybe we should reconsider what to do?"

Di Lecheng also had a gloomy expression, staring intently at the shield in front, and said fiercely, "It's fine, keep attacking! As long as it's weakening, that's all that matters! I'll just wear it down; eventually, we'll smash this turtle shell!"

The people besieging Heaven Sword Sect felt bitter in their hearts upon hearing Di Lecheng's words... They wanted to investigate, not continue attacking this damn Heaven Sword Sect!

These past seven days had been hell for them!!!

One-third of each day was spent continuously attacking this shield, and each time they were utterly exhausted.

The remaining time was basically spent meditating to recover their cultivation, and by the time they recovered, a day had almost passed...

Who could endure working nonstop like this every day!!! Even beasts don't do this!

So, some people quietly spoke to the second-in-command, asking if there could be a different approach, but they were clearly rejected without mercy.

The second-in-command stopped saying anything more after hearing the boss speak.

But they didn't dare to disobey orders; they knew very well what kind of person Di Lecheng was—someone who wouldn't even spare himself when he got ruthless, so they absolutely dared not offend him.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The continuous Cultivation Technique attacks had been bombarding Lu Hao's shield for a full week without stopping.

Inside Heaven Sword Sect, all the Disciples had spent a difficult seven days in fear and unease, and the further it went, the more fear grew in their hearts!

Because they felt the shield weakening bit by bit; although the amplitude was very small, at this rate, it would eventually be broken!

Many Disciples were already feeling desperate...

Sometimes, a direct death is far more pleasant than this method.

The constant roaring outside now was like the roar of the Grim Reaper, continuously affecting the hearts of many Heaven Sword Sect Disciples.

The moment the shield was breached would likely be when their lives went to Yellow Springs; the terrifying cultivation of those dozens of people left them with no hope of survival!

Under this immense pressure, the hearts of most Heaven Sword Sect Disciples were on the verge of collapse!

Rong Yuanliang no longer had his usual composure and spiritedness; a sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart...

His appearance had aged as if by decades in just a short week...

"Alas... Is this the destiny of my Heaven Sword Sect?"

Rong Yuanliang looked at the people outside the shield, speaking slowly with a sorrowful tone.

Around him were all the Void Refining Cultivators of Heaven Sword Sect, all sharing the same sentiment as Rong Yuanliang.

"I wonder if it would be useful if the former Sect Master came out of seclusion?"

Someone said a sentence.

Someone immediately responded to him:

"It's useless. Grandmaster Duan Cang, after the last incident, has entered a death seclusion, sealing his five senses, and even placed a curse on himself: he will not emerge until he Breaks Through to Mahayana! So no matter what happens in the outside world, it won't disturb him."

"And even if the old Sect Master came out, what good would it do...? Look, the three leaders are probably Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators, and the rest are all Mahayana Cultivators. With Heaven Sword Sect's means, how can we resist...?"

The voice faded, and silence once again fell upon the place; before everyone's eyes, there was only darkness, no light to be seen...

Rong Yuanliang inevitably thought of Lu Hao, murmuring, "Now, the only one who can save my Heaven Sword Sect from dire straits is probably Brother Lu Hao... Unfortunately, Brother Lu Hao has already traveled overseas; it's likely we'll never meet again in this life."
