Tongtian: Follow Me to Fight for a Sliver of Hope for the Interception Sect! Disciples: We Will Fight to the Death for the Interception Sect!
Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.
This Humanity Dao, once filled with the Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage and the Celestial Music, is now shrouded in an impenetrable stillness and oppression.
Inside the main hall, the core disciples of the Interception Sect gathered.
The Saint Mother Jinling, the Saint Mother Guiling, and the Saint Mother Wudang, Seven Attendant Immortals, Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, were among them.
A heavy feeling hung over everyone's face.
The Immortal Execution Array is broken, and the master returns defeated.
This news weighed heavily on the hearts of every Jie Sect Disciple, like an unshakeable mountain.
At the very top of the main hall, the Tongtian Sect Master sat quietly on a cloud bed. His Surrounding Body was extremely restrained, yet it gave people an even more dangerous feeling.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the disciples below with their varied expressions, finally settling on his eldest disciple Saint Mother Jinling.
"Jinling."
The Saint Mother Jinling felt a chill run down her spine and immediately stepped forward, bowing deeply in respect.
"Disciple is here."
"Have all my Jie Sect Disciple been recalled to Golden Ao Island?"
The Saint Mother Jinling dared not conceal anything and answered truthfully.
"Reporting to Master, apart from your disciple Wen Zhong and a few disciples he brought with him to the Great Shang Army, all the other disciples have been summoned back to the island, and none were absent."
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master simply waved his hand.
"Ignore them."
"Staying by the Human Emperor's side might still be their only chance of survival."
"These disciples are enough."
His gaze swept over the disciples in the hall once more.
Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao, Wuyun Xian, Qiushou Xian... Looking at these disciples he had poured countless efforts into nurturing, and seeing the worry and resentment on their faces.
Even the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master was not made of iron or stone.
But he knew that at this moment, he could not show the slightest weakness.
He spoke slowly, his words, devoid of any emotion, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"You are already aware of the matter at Sishui Pass."
The Immortal Execution Array has been broken.
"Primordial Lord has issued his final War Letter to me."
"If we win this battle, our Interception Sect will still have a sliver of hope."
If we lose...
He didn't continue.
But everyone understood the meaning behind those unspoken words.
If we are defeated, our Dao Lineage will be severed, and we will never recover!
The entire Jade Palace fell into a deathly silence.
Only heavy breathing echoed in the empty hall.
"From this day forward, all disciples of my Interception Sect shall practice the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"
Boom!
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!
Of course they know what the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is!
It is an ultimate killing formation that requires the combined power of ten thousand immortals to activate at its peak!
They understood.
This is... gambling the entire future of the Interception Sect on that last glimmer of hope!
"Master!"
Zhao Gongming bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Master, his voice booming like a bell.
"This disciple is willing to follow Master to Sishui Pass to set up the Ten Myriad Immortals Formation!"
"In our Interception Sect, there are only disciples who die standing, not cowards who live on their knees!"
Even if it means my death and my soul Investiture of the Gods on the Investiture of the Gods, I will make those Saint pay a bloody price!
"This disciple is willing to follow Master and fight to the death!"
"This disciple is willing to follow Master and fight to the death!"
Zhao Gongming's words ignited the suppressed anger and tragic emotions within everyone.
"We are willing to follow our Master, to live and die together!"
The Three Xiao Sisters followed closely behind, kneeling down in unison, their words filled with resolute determination.
Whoosh!
The Saint Mother Jinling, the Saint Mother Wudang, the Saint Mother Guiling, Seven Attendant Immortals all knelt down at this moment.
"We are willing to follow our master and fight to the death!"
"For our Interception Sect, fight for a sliver of hope!"
Even if I die ten thousand times, I will not regret it!
There was no fear or hesitation on their faces.
They knew that this journey would be fraught with peril, with a slim chance of survival.
They also knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for the Dao Lineage.
But none of them retreated.
What is there to fear if we can fight and die alongside our master and fellow disciples for the glory of the Interception Sect?
What about Saint?
Since we're not giving them a way out, then let's Destruction all!
Looking at the resolute faces below him, and the burning flames of war in their eyes, the Tongtian Sect Master felt a glimmer of warmth in his heart, which had been frozen by defeat.
This is his disciple.
With such a united and dedicated disciple, how could we not contend with the Four Saints!
He slowly rose from the cloud bed.
"Good!"
"Truly worthy of being my disciple, Tongtian!"
A flash of blue light appeared in his hand, and an ancient array diagram appeared in his palm.
The array diagram was scattered like stars, seemingly containing a universe with countless stars.
It was the array diagram of the Myriad Immortals Formation.
His gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Yunxiao.
"Yunxiao."
Yunxiao felt a chill run down her spine and took a step forward.
"Disciple is here."
The Tongtian Sect Master looked at his disciple, who possessed the highest skill in formations, and slowly handed over the formation diagram in his hand.
"This Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram is now entrusted to you."
"From this day forward, you will lead the disciples of the Interception Sect in practicing this formation."
"We must master this formation as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
No one expected that their master would entrust such an important task to Yunxiao.
But upon closer reflection, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Among the disciples present, none could surpass Yunxiao in terms of mastery of formations.
The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is the best proof of this.
In terms of temperament, Yunxiao is calm, collected, and meticulous, far superior to someone like Zhao Gongming, whose temper is as fiery as a raging fire.
She is indeed the best person to host this event.
Looking at the incredibly heavy array diagram in front of her, Yunxiao sensed more than just the profound mystery of the array.
It is the weighty trust of our master, the life and future of tens of thousands of disciples of the Interception Sect.
She took a deep breath, stretched out her hands, and solemnly accepted the array diagram.
"Disciple Yunxiao obeys!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
"Disciple will never fail Master's trust!"
The Tongtian Sect Master looked at her and slowly nodded.
"Good."
"You may all leave."
"Practice the battle formation, prepare... for the final battle."
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back.
"Yes, Master."
The Saint Mother Jinling and the others bowed in unison, and then slowly withdrew from the Jade Palace.
Soon, the vast Jade Palace was once again left with only the Tongtian Sect Master.
He kept replaying the upcoming battle in his mind.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation
He said it was his last trump card, but he knew the truth in his heart.
Although this formation is strong, it is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing four Saint.
Once war breaks out, how many of these disciples will survive?
Was he really going to lead these loyal disciples down that path of certain death?
No.
cannot.
In the mind of the Tongtian Sect Master, a thought began to grow wildly.
Even if my Fellow Daoist Wu practitioners and I join forces, we can only stop two Saint at most.
But the other side had four people.
The remaining two, whoever they are, can rampage through the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and slaughter his disciples at will.
unless...
Unless he can find another Saint- level fighter to help him stop the third Saint!
Only one Saint remains, and with the power of the Myriad Immortals Formation, he might be able to barely hold out.
In this way, his Interception Sect finally had a glimmer of hope!
Looking across the entire Primordial Wilderness, the only ones who possessed the fighting power of Saint and were willing to help him were...
Zhou Ming!
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
As long as we can save them, as long as we can fight for that sliver of hope for the Interception Sect.
He's willing to pay any price!
Moreover, he knew very well what Zhou Ming wanted.
The Heaven-Opening Mark!
If Zhou Ming is willing to help, he can stop another Saint.
Why not give it to him?
With this in mind, the Tongtian Sect Master no longer hesitated in the slightest.
With a flicker, he tore through the void and disappeared from the Jade Palace.
