After a round of inspiring words, the elders of each peak distributed fifty spirit stones to every disciple!
Injured disciples were taken directly to Heavenly Water Peak for healing.
After everyone dispersed, Ye Feng and the others didn’t even return to their own peaks but went straight to Jade Bottle Peak.
At the summit of Jade Bottle Peak, they sat on the edge, drinking wine.
Ye Feng looked up at the sparsely starry night sky and murmured softly, “It’s hard not to love a sect like this…”
Zhong Lin and Lin Dong didn’t say anything, just nodded silently.
Ye Feng turned to Li Guanqi, who still had a look of guilt in his eyes, and punched him on the shoulder.
He laughed and scolded, “What the hell are you still thinking about?”
“I told you, this wasn’t your fault.”
“Conflicts between sects inevitably lead to casualties, and our losses were relatively small.”
Li Guanqi nodded silently, sighed, and said, “Even so, I still feel uneasy in my heart…”
“Alright, you guys stay here for a while. I think there might be something happening tonight.”
After speaking, Li Guanqi stood up and looked thoughtfully at the rising protective array of the sect.
Then he turned into a purple stream of light and flew towards Heavenly Sword Peak.
Heavenly Sword Peak was the main peak of the Great Xia Sword Sect, and behind this main peak was actually a cemetery!
When Li Guanqi arrived, he stood silently outside the sect’s cemetery for a long time.
He changed into a black robe and walked towards the back mountain on foot.
The disciples who died in battle had already been buried in the sect’s cemetery.
When Li Guanqi looked up and saw the countless tombstones, he was slightly stunned.
He didn’t expect there to be so many tombstones in the sect’s cemetery!
Densely packed, there were nearly ten thousand tombstones standing quietly on the ground.
Lu Kangnian’s figure suddenly appeared beside Li Guanqi.
The man in the black robe also looked silently at the densely packed tombstones and said softly, “Isn’t it shocking?”
Li Guanqi nodded silently.
Lu Kangnian looked around and murmured softly, “When I first came here, I was just as shocked by these countless tombstones.”
“My master told me back then.”
“When you come here, you must have a heart full of reverence!”
“Because those who have tombstones here are the ones who shed their blood and gave their lives for the sect!”
“They all deserve our respect!”
Li Guanqi was already deeply moved.
Because he saw that the dates on the tombstones at the front were nearly ten thousand years old!
This meant that everyone in this cemetery had been sacrificing their lives for the sect for ten thousand years.
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi couldn’t help but straighten his back.
Under Lu Kangnian’s guidance, Li Guanqi found the senior brothers and sisters who had been buried here today.
Seeing the emotionally stirred young man, Lu Kangnian silently turned to leave.
But before leaving, he said softly, “Don’t stay here too long; tonight won’t be easy.”
After Lu Kangnian left, the entire Great Xia Sword Sect began to operate like a precise machine.
After recovering their primordial energy, the disciples of each peak were assigned various tasks.
For a moment, sword lights flashed everywhere within the Great Xia Sword Sect, and figures flying on swords could be seen almost everywhere.
Everyone’s face carried a hint of solemnity, but there was no sign of retreat!
Ling Daoyan even opened the sect’s secret warehouse and took out some dusty items.
The elders of each peak were so busy that their feet didn’t touch the ground, each one in a hurry.
However, these scenes could only be seen within the sect; to the outside world, the Great Xia Sword Sect appeared calm.
Except for the rising blue screen, which was just the usual barrier the sect would activate.
Although it was already night.
The northern region of the Great Xia Domain was brightly lit!
After the conflict between the Great Xia Sword Sect and the Purple Sun Hall broke out during the day, the news of Purple Sun Hall declaring war on the Great Xia Sword Sect had already spread throughout the northern region!
Given Purple Sun Hall’s nature, if the Great Xia Sword Sect could pass the night unscathed.
Then by dawn, Purple Sun Hall would become the laughingstock of the entire northern region!
The prestige of the Purple Sun Hall would collapse instantly.
And it would mark the rise of the Great Xia Sword Sect!
That night, the northern region was sleepless!
Many sect elders and even sect masters had arrived within a hundred miles of the Great Xia Sword Sect!
They wouldn’t interfere in the conflict between the two sects, fearing being drawn into it.
But they needed to know the outcome.
If Purple Sun Hall suppressed the Great Xia Sword Sect with overwhelming strength, it would be one thing.
But if the outcome was different, they would have to reconsider their future relationship with the Great Xia Sword Sect.
Everyone was eagerly watching the magnificent sect in the distance!
But looking at the incredibly calm sect, everyone felt something was off.
A man in a purple robe, twirling a strand of hair around his finger, mocked in a soft, delicate voice, “Could Lu Kangnian still be calmly cultivating at this time?”
As soon as he said this, the faces of many strong individuals around him showed a trace of disdain.
After all, cultivators who liked men were rare these days.
But the Seven Strings Sect’s master, Ye Shaozhen, was a complete pervert.
However, Ye Shaozhen’s strength was undeniable, and his hidden weapons were a headache for many.
A voice full of disdain suddenly came from beside him.
“Can you damn freak get lost? Just seeing you brings bad luck.”
A burly man cursed in a deep voice.
The man was eight feet tall, incredibly muscular, with sharp features and stubbly facial hair.
Wearing a yellow robe, his tiger-like eyes flashed with a sharp light!
The leaders of various sects smiled slightly when they saw this man.
Who in the northern region didn’t know that Shen Ye, the master of Zhenyue Mountain, hated Ye Shaozhen the most?
Shen Ye’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he sneered, “If you’re just here to watch, get lost. Don’t you fear getting yourself into trouble, old freak!”
However, Ye Shaozhen, whose face was covered in makeup, raised an eyebrow.
He showed a coquettish smile, twirled his finger, and pretended to be shy as he pointed at Shen Ye and said with a laugh, “Oh… Brother Ye, why are you so angry today?”
As he spoke, his slender body leaned towards Shen Ye.
Suddenly!
Boom!!!
A loud explosion sounded, and Shen Ye’s large palm slapped Ye Shaozhen’s face fiercely.
The thick, earthy primordial energy surged, and the slap sent him flying hundreds of meters!
With his face covered in blood, Ye Shaozhen flew like a kite with a broken string in a strong wind.
The primordial energy in his body was disrupted by the slap.
With his face covered in blood, Ye Shaozhen struggled to get up, looking at Shen Ye in disbelief and exclaimed, “You!! When did you break through to the late Elemental Infant Realm!!”
“No… Are you planning to interfere in their conflict? Are you crazy!!”
“Do you want to drag the entire Zhenyue Mountain to death!!”
Suddenly!!
In the originally dim sky, waves of blue light appeared like ripples!
Everyone ignored Ye Shaozhen and the breakthrough of Shen Ye.
The dozen or so Elemental Infant Realm experts watching the scene all turned serious, their eyes heavy as they watched.
They murmured to themselves, “It’s coming!”
Suddenly, dozens of void rifts opened in the sky!
One cloud boat after another slowly emerged from the space, revealing a menacing appearance!
