Yi Xuan didn't give Yan Siruo the answer she wanted; he just smiled and then remained silent. But Yan Siruo interpreted this as tacit agreement.

As for Yi Xuan himself, he didn't really have a clear understanding of his own abilities, since he was pursuing a career in technology.

Technology is not like cultivation, which has a strict hierarchy where higher-level cultivators are necessarily stronger than lower-level ones.

In terms of technology, there is no such thing as absolute suppression. Just like the Trisolarans in Liu Cixin's works, they were able to control things at the level of proton computers and water droplets, but they were still controlled by logic for more than half a century.

This also shows that technology is just a means; if used well, it is entirely possible to defeat the strongest enemy with minimal cost.

Next, Yi Xuan revealed his intention to unite the disciples of the Southern Frontier outside of the Gazing Immortal Sect Artifact Ruins in the Qixu, hoping to jointly fight against Qi Yun and the Gazing Immortal Sect.

However, no sooner had Yi Xuan finished speaking than He Hongfei objected, "Protector Yi, I don't understand. The enemy already possesses the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. What's the point of us, a group of cultivators at the Grain Avoidance Realm Establishment stage, gathering together? Are we just going to throw our lives away?"

He Hongfei was right. Simply gathering disciples from other sects to fight against Qi Yun was nothing short of wishful thinking.

But Yi Xuan never placed any hope on these cultivators who Grain Avoidance Realm.

From the beginning, Yi Xuan intended to go alone, since only the laser emitter in Yi Xuan's possession should be able to deal with Qi Yun in the Artifact Ruins.

But after much thought, Yi Xuan felt that he had given up a High-Grade Spirit Stone and then quietly resolved such a major crisis for other disciples of the Southern Frontier Border sects. Wasn't that a bit too selfless? This really didn't align with Yi Xuan.

Therefore, Yi Xuan thought of gathering disciples from other sects. Only by killing Qi Yun in front of them could Yi Xuan not only intimidate the disciples from other sects in the Artifact Ruins.

The disciple whose life was saved will surely be grateful, Yi Xuan's actions will spread throughout the major sects of Southern Frontier after he leaves.

At that time, on the one hand, other sects in the Southern Frontier will have a much better impression of the Azure Cloud Sect, and on the other hand, the Azure Cloud Sect's influence in the Southern Frontier will also increase.

It can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Having explained his thoughts, the nine disciples before him exchanged bewildered glances, completely unprepared for the Sect Protector's cunning. What was supposed to be a dramatic comeback had been transformed by Yi Xuan into a story of a great nation's Yi Xuan. The nine disciples were now utterly convinced and finally understood why Yi Xuan had been promoted to Sect Protector.

Now that the tone has been set, the next step is to begin execution.

Yi Xuan had He Hongfei and the other nine sit cross-legged outside the stone cave, preparing to form a battle formation.

Then the Butler connected all the drones in the Artifact Ruins.

"Cough cough!"

Two clear coughs instantly echoed throughout most of the Artifact Ruins. Whether it was the disciples of the Southern Frontier sects who were searching for fortuitous opportunity, Qi Yun was engaged in a frenzied killing spree, or the disciples of the Gazing Immortal Sect who were running all over the mountains with Qi Yun, they all heard the two coughs.

"This..."

Qian Lei looked up at the sky in disbelief. What kind of person had such power that they could make his voice resound throughout the entire Artifact Ruins?

Qi Yun also stopped his killing spree, which allowed the Gazing Immortal Sect disciples who were chasing him to quickly catch up with him.

"Junior Brother Qi, this person's strength is at least at the Nascent Soul Realm, but how did he enter the Artifact Ruins? It's puzzling!"

Qi Yun, however, looked at the sky and sneered, "Nascent Soul? Just a charade!"

After saying that, he soared into the air, waved his hand towards the sky, and then caught a bird-like thing in his hand.

After landing, the other disciples of the Gazing Immortal Sect quickly surrounded him.

"What's this?"

"Is it a bird? It doesn't look like one. It looks strange!"

"This is Puppet Technique!"

Just as everyone was wondering what Qi Yun was holding, the knowledgeable Qian Lei explained, "This is the thing that ambushed Junior Brother Qi earlier!"

Although Qi Yun had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm stage, his knowledge was not as extensive as Qian Lei's. After hearing Qian Lei's explanation, he nodded and said, "It's this thing that made that person's voice resound throughout the Artifact Ruins!"

Hearing this, everyone's worries subsided. They didn't want another Nascent Soul Cultivator to appear inexplicably in the Artifact Ruins, as that would ruin Qi Yun and the others' plan to dominate the Artifact Ruins.

As if to prove Qian Lei and Qi Yun's words, a loud sound came from the ornithopter in Qi Yun's hand again, and the entire Artifact Ruins heard the sound.

"Fellow practitioners, I am Yi Xuan Azure Cloud Sect!"

"It was him?"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan introduce himself, the members of the Gazing Immortal Sect immediately thought of the conflict before entering the Artifact Ruins, as well as the Azure Cloud Sect's leader who arrived late, namely Yi Xuan.

"The disciples of the Gazing Immortal Sect have utterly lost their conscience. After fifty years of scheming, they awakened an unparalleled weapon of mass destruction and cast their own disciples into it, turning them into Artifact Spirit. The spirit spirit now possesses the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. At this very moment, that disciple is slaughtering disciples from various sects in the Southern Frontier within the Stone Mountain area!"

"What? How did he know?" Qian Lei asked in disbelief after hearing Yi Xuan's words.

Qi Yun, however, was not surprised. "Remember those two strange things I destroyed when I left the cave? They should have been made by the same person as the thing I have, which is Yi Xuan! So he probably overheard our conversation in the cave!"

Yi Xuan's broadcast continued, "Fellow colleagues, I have already arranged measures on the perimeter and am fully capable of dealing with Qi Yun! You can come for protection according to our formation instructions!"

As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, He Hongfei and the other nine activated the formation. Light began to emanate from their bodies, and then the light converged into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. This pillar of light could be clearly seen from anywhere in the Artifact Ruins!

Upon seeing the pillar of light, Qi Yun sneered, "Naive!"

He then crushed the ornithopter in his hand and continued to move quickly, searching for disciples from other sects within the Stone Mountain area.

Qian Lei, who was following behind, sneered as he looked at the pillar of light, "Azure Cloud Sect! We'll settle our score with you sooner or later. After we've cleared out these unlucky bastards in this Stone Mountain, it'll be your turn!"

Seeing that Yi Xuan had already informed the entire Artifact Ruins about the Gazing Immortal Sect's situation, Yan Siruo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Protector Yi, now the disciples from other sects should be arriving soon!"

Yi Xuan didn't speak, but just looked at her with a strange expression.

Yan Siruo, somewhat bewildered by Yi Xuan's gaze, was about to speak when Qu Ling, standing beside him, interrupted her, "Senior Sister Yan, they won't come. Only Qi Yun and those people from the Gazing Immortal Sect will come!"
