Lu Qinghan's Resolve! A Bloody Battle Loomed!
Zhu Jingyi broke the silence first, asking, "Are you sure that's Helian Shiyue?"
Lu Qinghan nodded, her tone extremely certain, and said, "I'm sure."
She founded the Soul Devouring Cult with the sole purpose of seeking revenge against me and then destroying the Nine Splendor Sword Sect!
In her eyes, the reason for the Helian Clan's downfall was the Nine Splendor Sword Sect!
Upon hearing this, a thousand-foot-long fiery wind immediately appeared in the sky behind Zhu Jingyi!
His entire aura was enveloped in raging flames, as if a fire god had descended, and he said coldly:
"What a joke! If the Helian Clan hadn't wanted to seize the Nascent Soul Pill and poison our grandmaster, how could this have happened!"
Now that we know that crazy woman is breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, what are we waiting for!
Go straight to the Soul Devouring Cult's lair and wipe her out!
He then tried to burst into the sky and charge towards the Soul Devouring Cult.
However, it was completely suppressed by an even more terrifying aura.
"Lu Qinghan, what are you doing! Once she really breaks through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us!"
However, facing Zhu Jingyi's questioning, Lu Qinghan did not back down at all this time, coldly replying:
Even a worse situation is better than losing your life!
Since she dared to say it so openly, she must have made thorough preparations!
Do you think our reckless attack on the Soul Devouring Cult's trump card will be enough to kill her?
The only chance of survival now is to defend the Nine Splendor Sword Sect to the death!
Only with the blessing of a mid -Fourth-Grade Mid-Rank- Sect Protecting Grand Array did we have a chance to defeat the Soul Devouring Cult!
If all else fails...
I will perish together with Helian Shiyue. In the end, I am the one she hates the most.
"At that time, I only ask that you two preserve the eternal foundation of my Nine Splendor Sword Sect, and then spare Xia Xiangtian's life."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi calmed down, turned to look at Lu Qinghan, stared intently into his eyes, and asked:
Are you willing to accept this?
"Hahaha, Jingyi, you underestimate me, Lu Qinghan. Although I crave power, I have never done anything to betray the sect!"
My master entrusted the sect to me before his death, so naturally I cannot stand by and watch it perish.
Moreover, having lived for nearly nine hundred years, that's long enough, and I'm tired of it all. Without children, I have nothing to miss.
The only person I can't let go of is Xia Xiangtian.
I wonder if my two junior disciples would agree?
Lu Qinghan looked at Hua Shisan and Zhu Jingyi.
His eyes were full of sincerity.
This is after careful consideration.
His potential has been exhausted, and it's impossible for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Since he's going to die sooner or later, why can't he die protecting his sect?
In this way, even after his death, he can be remembered in history and be worthy of his ancestors and his teacher.
Zhu Jingyi didn't detect anything unusual in his eyes, which proved that he wasn't lying.
They wouldn't dare lie about this.
She wanted to agree, but Hua Shisan stopped her.
He looked at Lu Qinghan and said, "Uncle-Master, we can agree to your request."
However, the only Nascent Soul Pill left in the sect is to be given to us.
That kid Jian Yuntian has already reached the perfect Golden Core stage.
With the Nascent Soul Pill, I can now begin my breakthrough.
Even if you die, my sect will still have three Nascent Soul to oversee things.
It can still stand at the top of the Eastern Sky Dragon Sea Region!
What do you think?
Lu Qinghan looked at Hua Shisan and said with a smile, "As expected of you, Shisan."
However, I cannot give you the Nascent Soul Pill; it is my safeguard for Xia Xiangtian.
Anyway, he's a member of the Sword Sect, not an outsider.
This statement may contain both truth and falsehood.
This truly provided Xia Xiangtian with a safeguard.
The fake one is the Nascent Soul Pill he has already promised to the Ancestor of the Ancient Blade Sect.
He made him Blood Oath that if Xia Xiangtian were ever in trouble, he would do everything in his power to save him.
Hearing Lu Qinghan's words, Hua Shisan curled his lip and said, "If that's the case, then we'll have to see how things go."
If Xia Xiangtian doesn't behave, then don't blame your junior disciple for showing no mercy."
"That's natural." Lu Qinghan said calmly.
He was actually sighing to himself.
As expected, Hua Shisan is still the most troublesome one.
Never mind, he can't control what happens in the future.
He had a premonition that he would perish in this Great Tribulation.
Even Zhu Jingyi and Hua Shisan would do it.
After all, the Soul Devouring Cult has more than just Helian Shiyue a Nascent Soul.
Looking at Hua Shisan, he tested him, asking, "If a bloody battle ensues, what will happen to the other forces that come to our aid?"
"It's alright. The highest cultivation level is only Half-step Nascent Soul. Even if they're inside the great formation, they won't cause any trouble."
"What if they don't choose to fight alongside us, but instead choose to withdraw?"
"Don't interfere, lest you force them into the Soul Devouring Cult's camp. Once everything has settled down, we'll wipe out those forces one by one!"
"Not bad, Hua Shisan, you're very good. I feel very reassured that the sect has you in charge."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi subconsciously looked at Hua Shisan, secretly making up her mind.
And so, the three chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways, never once mentioning seeking help from other sea areas.
Because this will only hasten the destruction of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect!
No matter how much they fight, they are still from the same sect, so they will naturally work together when facing external enemies.
However, if it's Nascent Soul cultivator from another sea area or Rogue Cultivator, then it's not necessarily the case.
There is a high probability that a backstab will occur.
Therefore, no one dared to gamble.
The years turn gently, summer goes and autumn comes.
More than four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In just four short months, the Eastern Sky Dragon Sea Region has undergone tremendous changes!
The Nine Splendor Sword Sect was repeatedly defeated by the Alliance of various forces. Despite their desperate resistance, they were still surrounded by the Evil Cultivator of the Soul Devouring Cult.
The members of the Soul Devouring Cult all believed that the Nine Splendor Sword Sect was afraid of them.
That's why they didn't dare to confront them head-on, and only dared to carry out some small actions in the dark to launch surprise attacks.
Little did they know, this was Lu Qinghan's scheme, designed to lull the Soul Devouring Cult into complacency and instill arrogance in them.
This way, the chances of victory will be greater.
Those who launched the surprise attack on the Soul Devouring Cult were not part of the plan.
This was Zhang Xuanchen's work.
Together with Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Guangyao, and others, they adopted the strategy of retreating when the enemy advances and attacking when the enemy is exhausted, and launched an attack on the Soul Devouring Cult.
Each operation resulted in the deaths of several Foundation Establishment Peak Evil Cultivator.
The purpose was naturally to exchange for a second Golden Core Pill, since no one would complain about having too few of these.
With the spiritual peaches given by Zhang Xuanchen, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guanghan, Zhang Zonggan, and Zhang Zongyao all broke through to the Foundation Establishment Peak in the past four months.
Apart from the patriarch Zhang Chongxian and his elder brother Zhang Xuanbing, everyone else also broke through a minor realm, after all, they had been stuck for several years or even decades.
Breakthroughs are quite normal.
The increase in strength also made the task of killing Foundation Establishment Peak Evil Cultivator much easier.
However, he did not let his guard down because of this. Before each mission, Zhang Xuanchen would make thorough preparations, especially regarding the retreat route!
