The so-called strongmen of the Primordial Holy Heaven are really unreliable.
After seeing Lin Xuan in person, the entire Nine Luminaries Saint Sect was almost entirely plunged into despair.
Furthermore, many disciples, seeing that the sect could no longer be relied upon, prepared to find their own way to survive.
But finding a way out isn't so easy.
They secretly crossed the sect's great formation, hoping to escape the sect before the war began.
As for where to go...
Better than waiting to die with the sect!
Unfortunately, as soon as they escaped, they were completely outmatched and, without exception, all of them died at the hands of the people from the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect and the Heaven Uniting Saint Sect who were lying in ambush outside.
Not a single one survived.
Pei Yushuang was aware of her disciples' escape.
But even if she knew, there was nothing she could do.
She could only wait anxiously, her mind restless as she guarded the sect, her breath caught tightly in her throat, unable to rise or fall.
In stark contrast to her was none other than the Academy Master Lin who came from the Primordial Holy Heaven.
As anxious the people of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect were, he was just as relaxed and at ease.
He even had the audacity to ask her if she wanted to become his disciple.
Pei Yushuang gave a helpless bitter smile, not wanting to say anything harsh to the people of Primordial Holy Heaven, so she could only politely decline, saying, "In a few days, it's still unknown whether the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect will still exist, and it's also uncertain whether Yushuang will survive. Thank you for your kindness, Academy Master Lin, but with a formidable enemy at hand, Yushuang doesn't want to think about so much."
That's just a euphemism.
In reality, Pei Yushuang felt speechless and helpless.
This Academy Master Lin is merely Thearch Realm; how could she utter such words? Her aunt is Half-Saint...
Besides, with her talent, she'll definitely reach the Thearch Realm soon enough. Why bother finding a master who will eventually reach the same level as her, or even be inferior?
She might as well go to her own aunt.
Moreover...
Pei Yushuang's gaze swept over the women behind Lin Xuan. Although she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but disagree in her heart.
The other side already has many female disciples; if she goes there again, she definitely won't get away with it.
How many resources can an Thearch Realm being control?
I definitely won't get any of it.
Moreover, to put it another way, she might die soon, that's the truth.
Although Lin Xuan was unaware of Pei Yushuang's inner thoughts, he could discern them from her expression.
He chuckled reassuringly, "Don't worry, you won't die, and the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect will be fine too."
After all, he's still there.
Pei Yushuang was speechless.
She didn't know where this Thearch Realm Academy Master got his confidence from.
However, she couldn't possibly believe a mere, casual promise from the other party.
Now, all she can do is seize every minute and second and do her best to improve her abilities.
Pei Yushuang didn't believe it, and Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't bother to prove it.
He smiled slightly and let the matter drop.
Now that the two great Saint Realm are about to attack, although he doesn't feel any pressure, he still wants to take advantage of this time to consolidate his cultivation.
Pei Yushuang sighed and left.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, because the sword hanging over her head never seemed to fall.
The reinforcements they brought in were also extremely weak.
Thearch Realm is not considered weak.
However, in the face of the Saint Realm expert, Thearch Realm is weak!
Now, we can only rely on ourselves.
With this thought in mind, Pei Yushuang dared not sleep a full night anymore, and diligently practiced day and night.
She arranged for Lin Xuan and the others to stay temporarily on Cloud Summit Peak, which was adjacent to her own Prajna Peak. From her mountaintop, she could see the peak on Lin Xuan's side.
That night.
Pei Yushuang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to calm her mind.
She took a deep breath, picked up her sword, walked outside the courtyard, and began practicing her swordsmanship.
Sword Dao is the only profound principle that has accompanied her since she began to understand the Dao, and it is also the only belief that she will strive to improve upon throughout her life.
However, although she has good talent in Sword Dao, for some reason she has never made any progress and has only reached the Third Level Sword Intent.
For someone her age, her Third Level Sword Intent wasn't too bad, but Pei Yushuang wasn't entirely satisfied.
She always felt that she shouldn't just be like that.
After completing one cycle of practice, Pei Yushuang slowly sheathed her sword and exhaled, releasing all the pent-up energy in her chest.
She raised her hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from her forehead, intending to go back to her room to rest, but suddenly frowned, looked up in surprise, and gazed at the Cloud Summit Peak not far away.
etc...
That feeling... was it the Sword Domain!?
How could that be!
A startled thought popped into Pei Yushuang's mind, but she suppressed it. She shook her head and focused her senses again, but she couldn't feel anything. This time, she let out a sigh of relief.
It was just my imagination after all...
Pei Yushuang shook her head helplessly, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, raised her hand to her forehead, and sighed softly.
Although she was also a sword cultivator, she knew just how difficult it was to comprehend Sword Intent.
Not to mention the Sword Domain.
In the Eastern Continent, there are countless powerful individuals, even those who have reached the Saint Realm, yet none of them may be able to comprehend the Sword Domain.
Of all the people residing on Cloud Summit Peak, only Lin Xuan remains. He's merely Thearch Realm, yet he's comprehended Sword Domain... how is that possible?
It would be good enough if they possessed even a fraction of Sword Intent.
She was young and her strength was lacking, so she shouldn't have known about the Sword Domain. However, not long ago, Pei Yushuang heard in the Demon Battlefield that a peerless expert who had comprehended the Sword Domain had appeared. She rushed over, but although she found nothing, she sensed the Sword Domain aura left behind by that expert.
Even if it was just a tiny bit, it was still unforgettable for her!
now...
The Sword Domain aura she sensed was probably due to excessive pressure and a state of disorientation, to the point that she was hallucinating.
well...
Shaking her head, Pei Yushuang stopped thinking about it, sighed softly, sheathed her sword, and returned to her room.
Time is running out.
Let's see how Auntie prepares in the next few days...
It must have been difficult.
Several days have passed.
In just a few days, the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect held countless meetings. In the end, Pei Yunyan almost disregarded the objections of most of the elders and used all the resources that the entire sect could muster to build a defensive array!
Guard the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect!
Although they knew perfectly well that doing this was probably pointless—without Saint Realm expert protecting them, they would likely face certain death—they still had to try. Otherwise, how could they be content?
Sitting around waiting to die is not their style!
And when the defensive array of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect was finally completed.
The flying boats of the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect Heaven Uniting Saint Sect...
We've finally arrived.
Great War.
It's about to explode!
