377: The eldest and second brothers are here!

At this moment.

Outside the Giant Elephant Sect.

A massive warship floated in the void, surrounded by many flying Magical Artifacts and scattered figures. Among these individuals, the two cultivators with the highest cultivation had reached the Void Refinement Stage, while the lowest were also at the Core Formation Stage. The lineup was formidable.

Meanwhile, inside the meeting hall of the Giant Elephant Sect.

Lu Qingshan and a group of high-ranking Giant Elephant Sect Elders were discussing how to respond.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was oppressive. Most of the Elders bowed their heads, observing their noses and hearts without speaking. Only Lu Xiuwen stared anxiously at his old man, muttering, "If we just inform my Big Brother about this, it'll be instantly cured!"

"You old fogeys, my Big Brother is someone who can even handle the Li Huo Immortal Sect. How could he not handle the Azure Pine Pavilion and these small fry?"

By now, Lu Xiuwen had reached the mid-Nascent Soul Stage. Although his appearance still retained some childishness, he already possessed a degree of composure. Seeing the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, he became even more agitated, jumping up and down, wishing he could push his old man to the Whirlwind River Valley right now to bring back reinforcements!

"Dad, just go to the Whirlwind River Valley. If that's really not possible, set up a teleportation array for me, and I'll personally go to the Whirlwind River Valley to find my Big Brother!"

Slap!

Just then, a crisp slapping sound echoed in the hall.

The slap was delivered by Lu Qingshan.

He stared at Lu Xiuwen with a face full of anger, scolding, "Back then, I gave him the identity of the Giant Elephant Sect Holy Son merely out of consideration for you, just to keep you company and entertain you. Do you think he couldn't see through that? Do you really think Qin Feng takes us seriously?

The Netherworld Soul Hall has already made enough enemies in this Cultivation World. Do you think he would offend another Azure Pine Pavilion for our sake?"

"Dad, you hit me?"

Lu Xiuwen covered the red mark on his face, his face full of disbelief. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he could no longer resort to the actions of rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum like he did back then...

"I should have hit you long ago, you good-for-nothing!"

Lu Xiuwen said angrily, "Of course I know that giving him the Holy Son identity back then was just for show, but my friendship with my Big Brother is real. When the Netherworld Soul Hall was fighting against the Li Huo Immortal Sect, you shouldn't have stopped me from going!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the father and son argued in front of all the Sect's Elders. Seeing this scene, many Elders felt a deep sense of sorrow in their hearts, thinking that the old Sect Leader had made a mistake.

If the Giant Elephant Sect had fully supported the Netherworld Soul Hall earlier and stood on the same boat with them, the current Azure Pine Pavilion would be a joke. They wouldn't even dare to gather people to scheme for the Giant Elephant Divine Skill!

Boom!

Just then.

A roar suddenly came from above the meeting hall. The sorrow in the eyes of the many Elders deepened once again.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that this loud noise meant another one of the Giant Elephant Sect's four protective Sect Formations had been damaged. In just two days, two protective Formations had been successively broken.

Only the last two protective Formations remained. Once all the Formations were broken, it would inevitably be a bloody battle. Time was running out for the Giant Elephant Sect!

Lu Qingshan's face was dark, and he remained silent.

Lu Xiuwen, on the other hand, stiffened his neck, his eyes red, tears constantly welling up in his eyes. No matter how much he clenched his fists until they cracked, he was helpless. Even if he wanted to go to the Netherworld Soul Hall for reinforcements, he couldn't get out now. With his low strength, he could only watch helplessly as the enemies outside the Formation continuously broke through...

This was torment!

Just then, Lu Qingshan stood up and said to everyone in the meeting hall:

"Everyone, our Giant Elephant Sect has continued for one thousand six hundred and twenty-eight years since the first generation Old Ancestor. Now, our Giant Elephant Sect is at a critical juncture of life and death. If anyone wishes to leave, I, Lu Qingshan, will absolutely not stop you. If you are willing to stay and coexist or perish with our Giant Elephant Sect, I, Lu Qingshan, welcome you heartily!

Now, I will announce two plans.

All Elders will fight to the death with me within the Sect, determined to make the people of the Azure Pine Pavilion pay the price. As for the Giant Elephant Sect's inheritance, it will be copied in batches by the direct Disciples of the Supreme Elders and my son, Lu Xiuwen. Three hours from now, I will personally set up teleportation arrays leading to various places. Whether they can continue the Giant Elephant Sect's inheritance will depend on their fortune."

Lu Qingshan's tone was sorrowful, and the look in his eyes burned with raging anger.

He believed that since he took over the Giant Elephant Sect, the Sect, including himself and his Disciples, had never offended anyone. However, constant retreat did not bring peace; instead, it brought the covetousness and increasing aggression of other forces!

At this moment, the anger in Lu Qingshan's heart had been suppressed to the extreme!

When the many Elders in the meeting hall heard Lu Qingshan's words, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in their eyes as well. Especially some Supreme Elders, their eyes revealed a determination to fight to the death.

Even if they died, as long as their Disciples were still alive, the Giant Elephant Sect would not be considered extinct!

Boom!

Just then.

A roar echoed in the void once again, indicating that the third defensive Formation among the four layers of defensive Formations had been broken. The Formations further inward among the four sets were of lower quality, and the time they could buy was shorter!

Everyone hurriedly rushed to the outside area. At the same time, someone from the storeroom retrieved the Giant Elephant Sect's treasure, the Heaven Rank technique, the Giant Elephant Divine Skill, and began copying it, planning to let the younger generation of Disciples take the technique and travel far away.

Clang!

Just then.

A sound of clashing swords and blades suddenly rang out from outside the Formation. Immediately after, the Azure Pine Pavilion's Formation began to fall into chaos.

Looking outwards through the Formation, one could see dozens of purple Flying Swords slaughtering among the crowd, while countless black skulls were wreaking havoc in the rogue cultivator ranks, easily devouring a Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul stage cultivator in one bite.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiuwen, who was being forced to memorize the contents of the Giant Elephant Divine Skill technique, showed an excited look in his eyes and shouted:

"My Big Brother is here!"

"It's my Big Brother and Second Brother!"

"Dad! They're here!"

Lu Xiuwen pointed at the scene outside the Formation and shouted loudly. When he saw two figures, one black and one white, appear in the Azure Pine Pavilion Formation, fighting alone against the Azure Pine Pavilion's vast army, Lu Qingshan immediately felt awkward and deeply ashamed.

But now was a moment of extreme urgency, with no time for hesitation. Lu Qingshan immediately shouted to everyone:

"All Elders, listen up!"

"Follow me out of the Formation and kill the enemy!"

"Kill!"

A series of powerful figures, led by Lu Qingshan, immediately flew out of the Formation to meet the Azure Pine Pavilion and the rogue cultivators in battle.

The sounds of killing instantly erupted on the scene.

Chen Kun, the Pavilion Master of the Azure Pine Pavilion, saw the figures of Qin Feng and Han Tiezhu, and his face immediately turned ashen. A Disciple came beside Chen Kun and said, "Pavilion Master, people from the Netherworld Soul Hall have arrived. Should we retreat?"

"Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. I don't believe this Qin Feng can truly be bought off by a Holy Son position that's only in name!"

Chen Kun, with a dark face, controlled his Magical Artifact to block Qin Feng's Immortal Execution Sword Formation and forced a smile, saying, "Hall Master Qin, long time no see!"

"When your Netherworld Soul Hall relocated to the Whirlwind River Valley that day, my Azure Pine Pavilion even sent Hall Master Qin a congratulatory gift. Today, our Azure Pine Pavilion is at war with the Giant Elephant Sect, which is a private matter. Hall Master Qin, if you're willing, after I, Chen, capture the Giant Elephant Sect, how about we split all the gains fifty-fifty?"
