88: Meet the enemy!

In the main hall, Grand Elder Si Qingyu of the Heaven Sword Sect was presiding over the situation.

He sat in the Sect Master's seat with a gloomy expression, and the many Elders below were also silent, their faces looking exceptionally grim!

They didn't even need to think to guess that the news of the Sect Master obtaining the Dao Grade Legacy must have been leaked.

Otherwise, the other two forces could not possibly have joined hands to deal with their Heaven Sword Sect.

"Sigh, we were still too careless. I didn't expect that they would have already learned of this news."

"We should have withdrawn those Disciples back then, hunkered down within the Sect, and patiently waited for the Sect Master to achieve his Breakthrough. We wouldn't have lost so many Heaven Sword Sect Disciples for nothing. Ahhh, my heart feels like it is dripping blood!"

"Second Elder, there is no need to say these things now. At the time, we decided not to move because we were afraid of alerting the other two sides. Who knew they had already learned of this news!"

"I really don't know how they learned of this news. Could it be that they saw the Sect Master when he obtained the Legacy?"

"Now is not the time to dwell on this. Let us think about how to deal with what happens next."

Rong Yuanliang heard this and also said:

"Indeed, I believe that Chenyin Pavilion and Fengluo Valley will surely come with their full force!"

"Grand Elder, the Sect is in a state of panic right now. Why don't we hurry and ask the Sect Master to come out and preside over the situation? If this continues, the cohesion within the Sect will rapidly decline."

The Grand Elder heard this, his face gloomy as he spoke:

"In the current situation, the only way to break the deadlock is for the Sect Master to reach the Mahayana stage! We must absolutely not disturb the Sect Master's Breakthrough because of these matters!"

"As long as the Sect Master successfully breaks through, we will naturally settle this score with them slowly! What we must do now is persist and buy more time for the Sect Master's Breakthrough!"

"Pass down the order: keep the Sect Protecting Grand Formation activated twenty-four hours a day without interruption! Furthermore, send Cultivators to patrol everywhere around the clock, with the Elders leading the teams personally."

"In addition to the patrols, I ask all Elders to do your best to encourage our Sect's Cultivators. They must be full of fighting spirit and unite as one! We must overcome these difficult times together!"

"This is a great catastrophe for our Heaven Sword Sect! But it is also an Opportunity to soar to great heights! Everyone, relying on the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, they definitely cannot break through. Persist, and we will eventually see the dawn!"

"We will strictly follow the Grand Elder's orders!"

After receiving their orders, everyone began to arrange various matters.

The entire Heaven Sword Sect was shrouded in a tense atmosphere of preparation for war, and thus three days passed.

Three days later, the Master of Chenyin Pavilion and the Valley Master of Fengluo Valley arrived before the gates of the Heaven Sword Sect with the Cultivators of their two Sects, in a grand and imposing manner.

At this moment, the sky above the Heaven Sword Sect was truly dark and overcast! Even the sun was largely obscured.

Cheng Honglang, Valley Master of Feng Luo Valley and Yi Kangping, Master of Chen Yin Tower stood in mid-air, their expressions as calm as water.

But their eyes, which were tightly fixed on the Heaven Sword Sect below, were like two cold beams of light.

They not only flashed with cold and ruthless light, but also revealed an unconcealable look of greed.

Cheng Honglang, Valley Master of Feng Luo Valley gave a roar of anger:

"Disciples of Chenyin Pavilion, hear my command! Attack the Heaven Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation with all your might!"

His voice was like a great bell, resounding through the clouds.

Yi Kangping, Master of Chen Yin Tower also shouted:

"Disciples of Fengluo Valley, hear my command! Smash this Heaven Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation to pieces for me!"

His words were filled with endless majesty and domineering spirit.

With the orders from the two leaders given, the Disciples of the two Sects acted without hesitation.

They all circulated the True Qi within their bodies, while simultaneously unleashing their respective specialized Cultivation Techniques.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in colorful light, resembling a grand fireworks display.

Countless streams of Daoist Magic poured down like a torrential rain, incessantly smashing against the Heaven Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Earth-shattering roars came one after another.

Each time a piece of Daoist Magic struck the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, it triggered a deafening explosion.

Huge shockwaves spread outwards, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.

At this moment, the high-level members of the two Sects were not idle either; their figures flashed, and they instantly appeared at the very front of the sky.

Immediately after, these experts unleashed their most powerful trump card techniques.

The attacks unleashed by these great Cultivators became the most dazzling existence among the streams of Daoist Magic.

They carried an overwhelming Aura, charging towards the Heaven Sword Sect with the force of a thunderbolt!

On the way here, Yi Kangping, Master of Chen Yin Tower said to Cheng Honglang, Valley Master of Feng Luo Valley:

"Currently, nearly twenty thousand Heaven Sword Sect Disciples have been captured. Let us first test whether it is feasible to force open the Formation. If it is possible, then we won't need to do that sort of thing."

Cheng Honglang, Valley Master of Feng Luo Valley naturally agreed without hesitation upon hearing this.

After all, they were Sect Masters; it was best to be upright and open when outside.

Of course, if there was no other way, then they would have to use any means necessary!

Within the Formation, the Disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect watched with terror at the terrifying offensive rushing towards them like a tidal wave.

Those sharp beams of light and swift Daoist Magic seemed as if they were going to shatter the entire world.

Facing this sudden attack, these Disciples who had been peacefully Cultivating were completely panicked for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

Many widened their eyes, faces full of astonishment and fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

After all, these young Disciples had always been focusing on their cultivation within the Sect.

Most of them were facing war for the first time, having never witnessed such a heart-pounding scene.

However, just as everyone was in a panic, a figure stepped out as steadily as a mountain, walking straight to the highest point inside the Formation.

This person was none other than the Heaven Sword Sect's Grand Elder, Si Qingyu. His posture was upright, and his entire body radiated an unparalleled Aura of majesty.

The Grand Elder stood with his back to the aggressive coalition forces of the two Sects, slowly lowering his head, his gaze sweeping across the terrified and panicked Disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect below.

His eyes were deep and steady, which allowed many Disciples to stabilize their minds.

A voice of absolute firmness rang out.

"Disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect! Chenyin Pavilion and Fengluo Valley, because they are greedy for the Legacy of our Heaven Sword Sect, have spared no effort to join forces and invade, bullying us with their numbers!"

"Our Heaven Sword Sect has stood in the Northern Wasteland for thousands of years. What great storms have we not witnessed? How could we be defeated by these mere villains who covet the Opportunity of others!"

"Everyone, there is no need to fear them at all. As long as our entire Sect shares a common hatred for the enemy, with the support of the Sect Protecting Grand Formation, they will definitely not be able to break the Formation!"

"Our Sect Master is currently in secluded cultivation and is at a critical moment. When he emerges, he will be a Mahayana powerhouse. As long as we persist until the Sect Master emerges, victory will belong to our Heaven Sword Sect!"

"Those who offend our Sect, though they be far away, must be punished!"

"Good sons of the Heaven Sword Sect, follow me, meet the enemy!!!"
