Ancient Moon Sword Sect in Danger

This group of people were full of confidence, acting as if they would never fail, and were very sure of their success.

As they shouted, their voices coalesced, creating a powerful and resonant sound.

Each of them is very powerful, and if they were really released, it would be a huge disaster.

After shouting for a while, Butcher of Heavens waved his muscular arm, and everyone present quieted down. Then, he slowly spoke.

"This time, with the help of the Supreme Saint to deceive the heavens, even if we fight fiercely, they won't be able to sense it. So everyone can fight without restraint. Remember, what we need is a quick victory!"

"Since you've entrusted this operation to me, you must do as I say. Success will be a solid step forward, and we'll certainly reap the rewards!"

After he finished speaking, the morale of the crowd rose once again. After that, Butcher of Heavens said no more and simply waved his hand and flew forward.

A dense crowd followed behind, and the direction they flew was precisely the direction where the Ancient Moon Sword Sect was located.

Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

Gu Yao sat in an elegant room, savoring the fragrant tea in front of her.

There was an incense burner on the table, emitting blue smoke that filled the room, making it look like a fairyland.

The faint scent of sandalwood, combined with the aroma of fragrant tea, made Gu Yao close her eyes with a sense of enjoyment.

As the current Sect Leader of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, she enjoys this kind of elegant and refreshing leisure time, apart from handling some necessary matters on weekdays.

Drinking tea every day is a time when she can relax undisturbed.

Putting down her teacup, Gu Yao opened her eyes. Her calm, autumn-water-like eyes held a hint of worry.

"Xu Bai has been gone for far too long. I wonder if my daughter is worried about him. I hope she doesn't have to worry herself sick."

In her entire life, she only had one daughter with Rising Dusk King, so she valued her daughter extremely much, even more than herself.

Gu Yao is not at ease now that her daughter has grown up and has found someone she loves. However, her daughter's lover has gone to the dangerous and Ghost Market.

"Logically speaking, this kid has already entered the Saint realm and is stronger than me, so he shouldn't be in any danger."

"The Chu Emperor and that old bastard Chu You have kept this information under tight control."

"It's just telling the world that a great calamity is about to come, so all the traditions are being fully opened up, but it doesn't explain what they are specifically."

"My daughter thinks about her sweetheart every day, and she's getting more and more haggard... Sigh..."

Gu Yao frowned her delicate eyebrows and sighed silently.

The tea in the teacup on the table was empty. Gu Yao waved her sleeve, extinguishing the incense burner on the table, before standing up and opening the door to the room.

Outside the room was an antique-style corridor, and Gu Yao walked along it.

Soon, they reached the outside of the corridor.

Outside the gate, the Ancient Moon Sword Sect was built against the mountain, with beautiful scenery that refreshed the mind and body. Disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect would pass by from time to time, and would immediately bow and pay their respects upon seeing Gu Yao.

Gu Yao nodded and walked towards the back mountain.

The path leading to the back mountain is straight and easy to walk on. It had rained a little yesterday, and the path was a bit muddy, but Gu Yao didn't see any rainwater under her feet.

There are very few people on this path because the back mountain is a forbidden area for the entire Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

The surrounding scenery was beautiful, and the air was fresh because of the rain.

When Gu Yao followed the path all the way to the top of the mountain, there was still that same shabby building, with the Iron Sword stuck in the middle, looking extremely lonely.

There are no guards here, because to get here smoothly, one needs to pass through the many blockades of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

No one dared to act recklessly in the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

Around the Iron Sword, some small blades of grass swayed sparsely, bobbing in the wind.

Gu Yao walked expressionlessly to the Iron Sword, grasped the Iron Sword, closed her eyes, and channeled her powerful aura into the Iron Sword through her hands.

The Iron Sword began to tremble slightly, emitting a series of sword cries. After Gu Yao, who belonged to the Extraordinary Peak, infused the Iron Sword, the rust on the Iron Sword was gradually fading away.

After a long while, Gu Yao finally let go of her hand and sighed wearily.

She could have competed for the position of saint.

But because of this Iron Sword, she was unable to fight for it.

Iron Sword is proficient in spatial properties and can teleport to any place in the world. This is the foundation of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect. If the Ancient Moon Sword Sect were to encounter a great enemy one day, it could take everyone away.

However, due to the passage of time, the Iron Sword has become increasingly worn, and every now and then, it needs to be infused with powerful energy in order to continue its Iron Sword.

Injecting power is not a simple matter; it requires using all one's strength to pour it into the body, which is an extremely energy-consuming process for Gu Yao.

Once you reach the Extraordinary Peak, even the slightest difference can be magnified infinitely. Moreover, with such a long-term infusion of special power, it is almost impossible to step into the Saint realm.

But she did not regret it, because this was the foundation, and it absolutely could not be shaken.

Even if she has to pay a price, even if she cannot attain sainthood, she must never shake this foundation.

Gu Yao took a deep breath and waited until her strength had recovered before turning around and slowly walking back to her room along the beautiful path.

The sky was a bit overcast; it rained lightly yesterday, and it's likely to rain again tonight.

Gu Yao stood on an open space, looked up at the gloomy weather, and shook her head.

"Some rooms are damp; remember to repair them," she called to a passing disciple and instructed.

The passing disciple nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

Gu Yao became somewhat idle, put her hands behind her back, returned to her room, and closed the door behind her.

While she was carrying out these daily tasks, at that very moment, not far from the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, a massive influx of people was rushing to the scene.

The muscular Butcher of Heavens carried a long sword on his back, his face solemn.

"The Iron Sword is not far ahead. Remember this, everyone: kill them all."

"I will take several experts with me directly to the location and prevent them from activating the Iron Sword."

"Once we get the Iron Sword, we can use it to travel to various places and plant our people in every secret location."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.

Butcher of Heavens said no more and turned to continue leading the way.

The sky grew increasingly gloomy, with faint flashes of lightning, signaling an impending downpour; before that, the air was heavy and oppressive.

In front of the gate of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

At this moment, two disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect were chatting idly.

"When is our senior sister going home to visit? It's been so long since we've seen her."

Two female disciples are on duty today.

Another female disciple said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen Senior Sister. But she's currently leading her elite young disciples to expand their territory, so she probably won't be back for a while."

Despite saying that, the two female disciples could understand each other's expressions during their conversation.

What expansion of territory? There's no expansion of territory now. The whole world is at peace, so of course they know what their senior sister is doing.

However, these things cannot be said too explicitly. Even when the two of them are chatting, they have to be careful, since this involves that person's existence.

"If King Xu takes a liking to me, I'll immediately wash myself clean," the female disciple thought to herself.

On my free time, I can only spend it chatting.

Gradually, time continued to pass.

They waited until noon before preparing to change shifts.

But just as they were about to turn around, something suddenly happened.

A powerful pressure swept in from the distant sky, and the two female disciples turned around, both showing expressions of surprise.

In the distance, a dense crowd appeared in the sky, each person exuding a terrifying aura.

They were heading towards the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, and their imposing aura clearly indicated that they were up to no good.

"Go, quickly go and inform the Sect Leader!"

The two female disciples were also well-trained and quickly took out two cylindrical objects from their bosoms.

There was a thin rope attached to the bottom of the cylindrical object.

The two female disciples exchanged a glance and simultaneously pulled the thin rope.

Two beams of light shot out from the cylindrical object, exploding in the sky and turning the entire sky a reddish hue, forming the shape of an Iron Sword.

"Walk!"

Without any hesitation, they turned around and walked towards the mountain gate.

At this moment, after the shape of Iron Sword formed in the sky, all the disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect sprang into action. They quickly assembled on the platform and soon completed their formation.

This is the Ancient Moon Sword Sect's method of communication. Once this appears, it means someone is coming to attack, and you should be prepared.

All eyes were fixed on one room, and no one looked away.

"Smack!"

The door to the room opened, Gu Yao, dressed in a white robe and carrying a long sword, walked out.

From the other rooms, twelve middle-aged men and women dressed similarly emerged.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings to the Twelve Sword Envoys!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples immediately bowed in respect.

Gu Yao nodded and said, "Ten Thousand Swords Formation!"

There were no many words exchanged, just simple instructions, and she didn't even think about who had come.

Because the die is cast, there's no time to think about it anymore.

She was resting when she suddenly saw the Iron Sword flashing across the sky, and of course she understood what it meant.

Given the current situation, who would dare to touch the Ancient Moon Sword Sect? But even if someone did come, she already knew who it was, probably related to those hidden secrets.

If you're here, then let's give it a try and see who's stronger.

Of course, before that, she had already sent a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect to rush to the Great Chu Kingdom's palace.

She sensed something was very wrong. So many people had come, and they were all filled with murderous intent, yet the Great Chu Kingdom hadn't made a move. It was as if this place had been blocked.

In that case, send someone to inform them that they only need to defend this place for a while.

Upon hearing the words "Ten Thousand Swords Formation," the disciples quickly found their positions and activated the longswords on their backs.

At that moment, all the swords flew into the sky, densely packed like a wide river, obscuring the entire sky.

Gu Yao turned her head and looked at the twelve sword wielders behind her, her face serious, and said, "Everyone, form the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation!"

The Twelve Sword Envoys exchanged glances, nodded, and unleashed the longswords on their backs.

Twelve unusual longswords flew into the sky.

Even within this Ten Thousand Swords Formation, these twelve swords stand out exceptionally, easily recognizable at a glance.

Each sword is a different color, like twelve streams of light, forming another sword formation within the Ten Thousand Swords Formation.

"Sect Leader, the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation is complete!"

The Twelve Sword Envoys spoke in unison.

Gu Yao nodded.

The scene in the sky was incredibly grand and terrifying; it was something I would never want to experience firsthand.

Even amidst this overwhelming momentum, Gu Yao's brows remained furrowed.

She was somewhat distracted.

This ability, which shields them from all secrets and prevents even powerful experts from sensing it, is clearly aimed at them. And the fact that they dared to come after knowing their background means that the other party must have some powerful means to rely on.

Even with thorough preparation, there's no guarantee of absolute effectiveness.

Gu Yao took a deep breath, clearing her mind of all thoughts, and then made a sword gesture with her right hand.

Behind her, the long sword she carried suddenly unsheathed and rose directly into the sky. As the sword gradually ascended, it slowly grew larger, eventually becoming a hundred times its original size.

Even the Ten Thousand Swords Formation and the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation were overshadowed by the light of Gu Yao's sword at this moment.

Triple formation!

The Ten Thousand Swords Formation is on the outside, the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation is on the inside, and Gu Yao's Ancient Moon Sword is in the center.

This is the foundation of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect; even if a Saint-level expert comes, they can still exchange blows with him.

Of course, it's just a delaying tactic.

"Everyone, be careful! The person who comes is definitely not simple!" Gu Yao shouted.

"Yes!" the disciples answered in unison.

At that moment, countless figures finally appeared in the distant sky.

The group reached the edge of the Ten Thousand Swords Formation and did not go any further.

Butcher of Heavens looked at the sword formation in front of him and sighed.

This dazzling sword formation, on the contrary, evoked a sense of nostalgia in him, as if he were recalling bygone days.

"Unexpectedly, over the years, the Ancient Moon Sword Sect has become even stronger. It's truly gratifying!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it traveled through the layers of sword formation and reached Gu Yao's ears.

Gu Yao was slightly taken aback, and then, through the sword formation, she saw Butcher of Heavens's appearance.

The next second, Gu Yao was stunned.

She seemed to have been reminded of a long, long time ago.

At that time, beneath the ruins, a little girl held an Iron Sword in her hands.

Beside it was an abandoned cemetery, but in front of the cemetery stood a stone tablet with a human figure carved on it.

—Tu Butcher of Heavens!

Gu Yao was shocked. "You're not dead! You've actually lived for countless years!"

Butcher of Heavens laughed and said, "What's impossible about that? Under that being, life is nothing but a plaything. I don't know how you found my inheritance, but now you can return it to me."

As he spoke, Butcher of Heavens extended his hand.

"Give me the Iron Sword and you can live. I can then pray to that being, which can be considered as you continuing the benefits of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect for me."

That one exists?

Gu Yao frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
