“Alas,” Jiang Baiye sighed and recounted the matter in detail.
After listening, Han Li raised an eyebrow, finally understanding how the Canghai Sect had fallen into such dire straits—the Canghai Sect Leader was critically injured.
Previously, the Canghai Sect in Qingzhou and Ji Feng Hall in Luzhou were both among the Ten Great Sects of Daqian, with comparable strength; however, the Canghai Sect, with its Body-Cultivating Furnace, ranked one place higher.
There had always been enmity between the two sects, but they had not openly broken into conflict. Once the Body-Cultivating Furnace was lost, Ji Feng Hall began coveting the Canghai Sect, constantly fanning the flames in hopes of an opportunity to obliterate the Canghai Sect.
This was not simply a matter of old grudges; Ji Feng Hall also coveted the cultivation resources that the Canghai Sect had accumulated over the years, which could significantly strengthen their sect.
When the Daqian Empire retracted its influence, both Ji Feng Hall and the Canghai Sect retreated, coincidentally relocating to Jizhou, along with some other Dongxu Stage forces.
With several Hollow Void Stage forces present in Jizhou even before, and now the addition of two Myriad Phenomena Realm forces and five Hollow Void Stage forces, the competition for cultivation resources and territory instantly intensified.
Ji Feng Hall aligned with other forces to ostracize the Canghai Sect, suppressing them in all respects, making life difficult for the Canghai Sect.
A few days earlier, while the Canghai Sect Leader was outside, the Master of Jifeng Hall and a mysterious Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm launched a surprise attack. Although the Canghai Sect Leader managed to escape, he was severely wounded.
Afterward, Ji Feng Hall abandoned its usual tactics and directly led several Hollow Void Stage forces to attack the Canghai Sect with the intention of completely eradicating it.
Reliant on their Mountain Protection Array, the beleaguered Canghai Sect held on desperately, and the Sect Leader occasionally mustered his severely wounded body to mount a defense. The situation was now perilous, and without external aid, the Canghai Sect would soon be destroyed.
In this battle, not only was the Master of Jifeng Hall involved, but also several Dongxu Stage Grandmasters, as well as the enigmatic Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster—it was only a matter of time before the Canghai Sect would merely be clinging to survival.
“Jiang Jiang, don’t worry, I’ll be right back.”
Han Li gently cradled her beautiful face and planted a kiss on it, saying with a smile.
Jiang Baiye nodded her head. With her husband stepping in, the Canghai Sect would be saved. A glint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she said, “Husband, kill them all.”
Jiang Baiye seldom harbored murderous intent towards anyone, not even when Han Li once treated her as he did; however, this time she was truly enraged.
If Ji Feng Hall and the other forces weren’t annihilated, the Canghai Sect would continue to face severe trouble in the future. She didn’t want her husband to be constantly burdened with the affairs of the Canghai Sect—an end to the troubles once and for all would be best.
“Alright,” Han Li nodded.
Jiang Baiye paused for a moment, then asked, “This won’t affect the overall situation, will it?”
Understanding her concern, Han Li replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
His intervention on behalf of the Canghai Sect would be under the guise of the True Martial Realm’s Emperor Wu, and this should fall under Li Feiyu’s jurisdiction, as Li Feiyu had declared martial law within the borders of Daqian and forbade any action from the True Martial Realm in territories like Jizhou, which was part of the Daqian Empire.
Since Han Li had decided to take action, he naturally had a plan in place.
Jiang Baiye breathed a sigh of relief, watching her husband Han Li’s figure fade into the distance before turning her attention back to the beautiful scenery of Chengsheng Mountain, her heart becoming calm once again.
She knew that with her husband’s involvement, the Canghai Sect’s crisis would soon be resolved.
In the skies above Canghai Sect in Jizhou—
Han Li’s figure emerged, concealing his presence so well that, despite it being day, none of the cultivators below could detect him.
Looking down, Han Li saw that the Canghai Sect was indeed in a crisis. Several formidable figures were bombarding the sect’s Mountain Protection Array midair; one was the Master of Jifeng Hall, and shockingly, another was a Cultivator of the demon path, with the remaining assailants being Hollow Void Stage Grandmasters.
Han Li raised an eyebrow; Ji Feng Hall was indeed bold, joining forces with cultivators of the demon path, explaining how they were able to launch a successful sneak attack that seriously injured the Canghai Sect Leader.
It was uncertain whether Ji Feng Hall had already been in cahoots with the Yinyang Sect in the past or only recently formed an alliance, but either was possible, as Jizhou was now in close proximity to the territory of the Yinyang Sect.
Under the onslaught of the two Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters and several Hollow Void Stage Grandmasters, the Canghai Sect’s Mountain Protection Array began showing cracks, ready to collapse at any moment.
The remaining forces surrounded the Canghai Sect tightly, also attacking to deplete the array’s energy.
Within the Canghai Sect, the Sect Leader Chen Qiuyun’s complexion was deathly pale as he stared helplessly at the attacking figures outside, a wave of despair washing over him.
Glancing at the disciples within the sect who all wore looks of despair, Chen Qiuyun felt his heart clench with guilt; it was his negligence that led to the sneak attack and his severe injury, which in turn brought the sect to this moment of crisis.
“Huff~”
After exhaling deeply, Chen Qiuyun prepared to fight once more—he had to relieve some of the pressure on the Mountain Protection Array, or it would soon be shattered.
“Sect Leader, you mustn’t!”
Jian Ziyun forcefully held him back, vigorously shaking his head and saying, “Even after taking the Spirit Pill, your strength has only recovered to forty percent. If you go to fight now, you will die.”
Looking at Jian Ziyun, who was also injured and gasping for breath, Chen Qiuyun managed a bitter smile and replied, “Junior brother, you know our situation. There are not many Spirit Stones left in the sect, and the Mountain Protection Array can only hold out for another two hours at most. If I go, at least it can last a few hours longer.”
Jian Ziyun fell silent, then let go and sighed, hesitating before suggesting, “Sect Leader, why don’t you escape?”
With Chen Qiuyun’s strength, even in his wounded state, there was a good chance of escaping, but he was reluctant to abandon the sect and continued to be dragged into this predicament.
“If one is to die, we will all die together,” Chen Qiuyun flatly refused, then stepped forward, ready to unleash his power.
The next moment, however, Chen Qiuyun was stunned.
He saw a series of dazzling sword lights descend from the heavens, extending for millions of miles, carrying an unstoppable force and brimming with an endless icy intention, slashing towards the Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters and Hollow Void Stage Grandmasters attacking the Canghai Sect.
