Seeing that most of his disciples had arrived, Exalted Cultivator Huo looked at another Foundation Establishment cultivator standing beside him.
This person had large ears, a wide nose, and a square forehead. Just looking at his face, he was extremely upright, giving people a sense of seriousness and righteousness. Empty Sword Sect Empty Sword Sect Foundation Establishment of the White Creek Camp.
This is Exalted Cultivator Wen, one of the three, and another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Empty Sword Sect who has cultivated Sword Essence.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, we can begin," Exalted Cultivator Huo said.
Exalted Cultivator Wen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Exalted Cultivator Huo, then smiled and looked at the Jade Spring disciples and Kong Jian disciples below the stage, slowly saying, "Before we begin, I would like to express my gratitude to all my fellow Jade Spring disciples for your support."
He solemnly bowed to Exalted Cultivator Huo, and then to the Jade Spring disciples below.
Exalted Cultivator Huo quickly raised his hand to stop him, preventing him from bending over completely.
The disciples of Jade Spring Sect below, who were all at the Qi Refining Stage, naturally dared not accept the ceremony from a Foundation Establishment, and all said they dared not.
Exalted Cultivator Wen is very straightforward.
Having given the proper opening etiquette, let's get straight to the point.
"The arrival of our comrades from Jade Spring has greatly boosted our morale. Therefore, we intend to press on and launch another attack on the Heart-Eroding Demon Beast."
Chen Shuangbai was not surprised.
Because that's just the nature of a sword cultivator.
He listened quietly to Exalted Cultivator Wen's arrangements.
"These past few days, the Heart-Eroding Demon Beast has been sending out multiple small groups of Devil Cultivator to constantly attack my Kong Jian's reinforcements, attempting to cut off our support. Moreover, the opponent is riding an insect beast with extremely fast escape speed, which is comparable to our Sword Escape Technique."
Upon hearing this, everyone assumed that he intended for the Jade Spring disciples and the Kong Jian disciples to join forces to ambush the Devil Cultivator squad.
But Exalted Cultivator Wen abruptly changed the subject, saying solemnly, "I discussed it with Exalted Cultivator Huo, and we feel that it's better to guide than to block. Therefore, we will dispatch eight squads: four to reinforce and intercept those Heart-Eroding Demons attacking our rear, and four..."
Exalted Cultivator Wen's eyes gradually brightened, a murderous intent appearing within them. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go deep into the Heart-Eroding Demon Beast's territory, use violence to combat violence, and snipe at the Heart-Eroding Demon Beast's reinforcements and forces!"
The disciples of the Empty Sword Sect became somewhat excited, but the disciples of the Jade Spring Sect... were slightly surprised.
Lin Jingtao seemed to notice the surprise on Chen Shuangbai's face, took a few steps toward him, and whispered, "This is the Kongjian Empty Sword Sect, where everyone is a sword cultivator."
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, and it seemed that she had gained another layer of understanding about sword cultivators.
It was obvious that Exalted Cultivator Wen and Exalted Cultivator Huo had already discussed the matter thoroughly.
The eight teams were quickly divided up.
Chen Shuangbai was undoubtedly assigned to the team that was to attack the Heart-Eroding Demon Beast, but this time it was not all members of the Jade Spring Sect, but a total of five people.
Furthermore, Chen Shuangbai was appointed as the team leader.
He wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, the events of yesterday and the day before have mostly spread throughout the Kongjian Empty Sword Sect in Azure Light Mountain. If Exalted Cultivator Wen doesn't want to bury his reputation, he will definitely do so.
To Chen Shuangbai's surprise, he was made the leader of an attack squad.
He only knew one of the leaders of the other three attack squads.
Lu Mingxuan.
The remaining two were, one a fellow disciple of Jade Spring, but he wasn't very familiar with him, and the other a fellow Daoist of Kong Jian.
It's obvious that it's very uniform.
Not long after.
The members of Chen Shuangbai's team were evenly distributed, with the two superiors taking into account everyone's strengths and trying to make the distribution as even as possible.
Chen Shuangbai looked at the Jade Slip in her hand, on which were written four names.
Lin Jingtao, Ji Yang, Wang Tongfang.
Lin Jingtao was an old acquaintance.
Chen Shuangbai knew this fellow disciple quite well, and his archery skills were also quite remarkable; among his peers, he was considered a combat genius.
If it weren't for meeting myself...
As for the other two, they are fellow practitioners of the Empty Sword Sect.
A short while later.
The three of them then approached Chen Shuangbai.
Lin Jingtao was quite satisfied with this.
He had fought Chen Shuangbai before and knew her combat abilities. He valued Chen Shuangbai 'Chen Shuangbai empowering Law Technique even more, so he was Qi Ingestion and greeted her with a smile.
" Senior Brother Chen, don't lead me astray."
Chen Shuangbai smiled, then looked at the remaining two.
Seeing Chen Shuangbai looking at him, Ji Yang smiled excitedly and said, " Senior Brother Chen, my name is Ji Yang, and the Law Sword at my waist is called [ Soaring Light ]. I belong to the [ Extreme Sword ] lineage and have some experience in sword escape techniques. I have also been assigned tasks such as intelligence gathering before."
Chen Shuangbai smiled and nodded, then looked at the other member.
Perhaps it's because sword cultivators tend to be more outgoing, regardless of gender, and their emotions are more readily apparent in their interactions with others.
Wang Tongfang also had a slight smile on her face as she said, "Senior brother, I am from the [ Transforming Sword ] lineage. I possess five Law Sword: one high-grade, one mid-grade, and the remaining three low-grade. Currently, I have mastered three sword formations."
Chen Shuangbai's eyes brightened slightly.
The sword cultivators of the [ Transforming Sword ] lineage are different from those of the [ Extreme Sword ] and [ Law Sword ] lineages. This lineage emphasizes using swords to form formations, which are highly versatile and integrate offense and defense.
Wang Tongfang's ability to master three sword formations during the Qi Refining Stage is already quite remarkable.
"I've long heard that the Empty Sword Sect is home to countless heroes, and now it seems those rumors are indeed true."
A decorated sedan chair, carried by people.
Saying nice things doesn't cost Spirit Stone or Merit Points; it only takes a little effort. Chen Shuangbai was naturally happy to offer some praise to reassure everyone.
As expected.
His words, spoken by this powerful swordsman from the Jade Spring Sect who had caused quite a stir yesterday, immediately brought smiles to the faces of the two fellow Kong Jian, who felt they had been respected.
After the two Foundation Establishment cultivators explained the support outposts of the Heart-Eroding Stronghold that they were to cut off, Chen Shuangbai's team was assigned to attack more than a dozen support outposts on the west side of Azure Light Mountain, within the territory of the Heart-Eroding Stronghold Dock.
Standing atop the tower, Exalted Cultivator Wen looked down at the team below, who were gradually becoming familiar with each other. A look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he announced loudly, "Later, Exalted Cultivator Huo and I will appear to hold off the Foundation Establishment who Heart-Eroding Demon Beast. You will go to the Heart-Eroding Stronghold and activate your Concealment Talismans to sneak in amidst the chaos!"
"Remember, the priority for this mission is to strike and destroy their reinforcements. Don't linger in battle; once you've captured them, retreat as far as you can."
"We will likely keep them occupied here for about five days."
"Don't go too deep, or it will be difficult for us to come to your aid."
Upon hearing this, everyone below nodded solemnly, indicating that they understood.
Exalted Cultivator Wen concluded.
"This journey is fraught with danger, so I ask that everyone cooperate fully."
