In the main hall of the Yuxu Sect, ethereal incense smoke curled upward.
The messenger elder from the Absolute Beginning Holy Land hurried in.
After being announced, the elder stepped into the grand hall, his gaze falling upon Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang.
Both of their clothes were full of wrinkles, but the elder paid no mind to this detail and simply spoke,
"Grandmaster, Sect Master Bai, I have an urgent intelligence report."
Bai Qianshuang asked, "Could it be that the Wutong Holy Land has made a new move?"
The messenger elder immediately replied,
"Grandmaster, Sect Master Bai, Su Yao, the Holy Maiden of the Wutong Holy Land, has issued a death warrant. Three Tribulation Realm mighty figures will personally lead the charge. All three are veteran powerhouses who have lived in seclusion within the Wutong Holy Land for many years."
"Holy Maiden Su Yao even declared that she will flatten the Yuxu Sect and leave no living thing behind, all to avenge the elite troops of her Holy Land who were slain that day!"
As his voice faded, a deathly silence descended upon the main hall.
The Tribulation Realm. Bai Qianshuang had only ever seen records of it in ancient texts. It was an existence that surpassed the Mahayana Realm, capable of invoking the laws of heaven and earth and mobilizing the forces of nature.
A single Tribulation Realm expert would be enough to easily wipe out the current Yuxu Sect, let alone three.
She turned to look at Ye Chuan, yet she didn't utter a single word of retreat. Even in the face of absolute annihilation, she would stand and fall with Ye Chuan and the Yuxu Sect.
However, she was well aware that the Yuxu Sect still had thousands of disciples, as well as the elders who had helped her rebuild the sect. They could not be sacrificed in vain.
Hearing this, Ye Chuan fell into deep thought.
He knew the Tribulation Realm was powerful, but he didn't know exactly how powerful.
Still, when Tribulation Realm experts clashed, their battles could easily destroy the heavens and shatter the earth. Let alone low-level disciples, even Dao Comprehension Realm elders would have their souls extinguished and their bodies obliterated if caught in the shockwaves.
In front of true Tribulation Realm mighty figures, the presence of these low-level cultivators was entirely meaningless. They possessed no ability to resist and would only become casualties of the great battle, dying for nothing.
Numbers were useless.
He could protect himself and slay his enemies, but he couldn't guarantee that under the siege of three Tribulation Realm experts, he could still protect every single disciple and elder of the Yuxu Sect, or safeguard the foundation of the sect they had just rebuilt.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chuan slowly raised his eyes and looked at the messenger elder. "What about the Holy Son? Since she asked you to deliver this message, is the Absolute Beginning Holy Land planning to stand by and watch?"
Hearing this, the messenger elder shook his head. "You worry too much, Grandmaster! When our Holy Son learned of the Wutong Holy Land's actions, she bluntly stated that Su Yao was being far too tyrannical."
"She immediately summoned all the Tribulation Realm elders of our Absolute Beginning Holy Land for an emergency meeting in the Holy Son's Hall to discuss rushing to the aid of the Yuxu Sect."
"The Holy Son also specifically instructed me to tell you, Grandmaster, that you are someone she acknowledges. Thus, the Yuxu Sect is a friend of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land. When a friend is in trouble, the Absolute Beginning Holy Land will never stand idly by!"
Hearing this, a faint smile touched the corners of Ye Chuan's mouth.
Interesting.
This Holy Son is quite a bro.
No, quite a sis... that doesn't sound right either.
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
He originally thought that although Ji Lingxuan was on good terms with him, she might not necessarily offend a top-tier faction like the Wutong Holy Land for the sake of the Yuxu Sect, or gamble with the foundation of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.
Yet he never expected Ji Lingxuan to be so loyal and decisive.
"Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver this message, Elder," Ye Chuan said.
"Please return and inform the Holy Son that I am grateful for her assistance—"
"Tell her that I will protect everything in the Yuxu Sect."
With that said, he turned to look at Bai Qianshuang. "Qianshuang, pass down the order immediately. All disciples and elders of the Yuxu Sect below the Dao Comprehension Realm are to evacuate through the secret passage in the back mountain."
But in reality, the Yuxu Sect didn't have many Dao Comprehension Realm experts anyway. At most, there were only two or three.
It was essentially a full sect evacuation.
"Ye Chuan, there will be so many of them..." Bai Qianshuang began.
"Heh... it's hard to say what will happen when the time comes," Ye Chuan chuckled lightly, wrapping his arm around Bai Qianshuang's waist.
Hearing this, Bai Qianshuang immediately nodded.
She knew Ye Chuan's strength well. Right now, protecting the disciples and elders was the most important thing.
"Men!" Bai Qianshuang's clear shout echoed throughout the main hall.
"Relay my Sect Master's order. Immediately summon all elders to the front hall for a meeting. There are urgent matters to arrange. No delays are permitted!"
"As the Sect Master commands!"
Outside the hall, several respectful voices responded. Soon after, several streaks of light flew toward the hall; it was the sound of the elders hurrying over.
Bai Qianshuang informed the elders of the Wutong Holy Land's movements and Ye Chuan's arrangements in detail.
Upon hearing this, the elders' expressions changed drastically. Their eyes were filled with shock and apprehension, yet not a single one backed down. They all bowed respectfully, their tones resolute:
"As the Sect Master commands! We will immediately arrange for the disciples to evacuate. We will definitely not fail the Sect Master's trust!"
With that, the elders turned around and quickly exited the main hall to begin the arrangements at once.
In an instant, urgent yet orderly sounds of orders being relayed rang out within the Yuxu Sect, spreading to every corner of the sect.
Although the low-level disciples were terrified and didn't know what they were about to face, seeing the calm expressions of the elders, they followed their instructions, packed simple belongings, and gathered in an orderly manner toward the secret passage in the back mountain.
...
Half an hour later, all the disciples and elders who needed to evacuate had safely left.
Atop the peak of the Yuxu Sect, only Ye Chuan, Bai Qianshuang, and a few Dao Comprehension Realm elders remained.
The empty sect gates exuded a deathly stillness, like the calm before a storm. The once-bustling sect was now left with only the howling of the wind blowing through the mountain forests, making it appear exceptionally desolate.
Ye Chuan stood at the edge of the mountain peak's cliff, gazing toward the end of the horizon. A trace of coldness flashed through his pitch-black eyes.
Bai Qianshuang and the few elders stood quietly behind him, ready for battle at any moment.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Ye Chuan, who had kept his eyes closed, seemed to sense something and raised his gaze.
"They're here."
Right at that moment, the world suddenly changed!
The originally clear blue sky was instantly completely covered by a pitch-black shadow, as if night had fallen early, blotting out the sun and sky!
This was no natural phenomenon, but a thousand-zhang-long flying ship of the Wutong Holy Land, piercing through the clouds and crushing forward with overwhelming momentum!
The flying ship was a thousand zhang long from bow to stern. Its massive size was like a black canopy slowly pressing down upon the Yuxu Sect.
Wherever it passed, the air was violently crushed, causing the mountains of the entire Yuxu Sect to tremble slightly and the spirit veins within the mountains to shudder violently.
Spirit trees bent over, and massive boulders rolled down!
Upon the flying ship, the disciples of the Wutong Holy Land were lined up neatly. Clad in black robes and wielding magical artifacts, their expressions were icy, and their killing intent soared to the heavens!
Their gazes were like cold blades, all staring uniformly toward the peak of the Yuxu Sect, revealing a sense of disdain—
In their eyes, the Yuxu Sect was already no different from an annihilated sect.
And at the front of the flying ship's formation, three figures stood suspended in mid-air. They had no magical artifacts empowering them, yet relying solely on their own auras, they triggered worldly anomalies and burst forth with a rainbow light that stretched for ten thousand miles!
Tribulation Realm experts!
Three streaks of rainbow light erupted from around the three individuals, crossing the sky and stretching for ten thousand miles, dyeing the pitch-black clouds with a three-colored holy radiance!
Even in cities thousands of miles away, or among cultivators secluded deep in the mountains, everyone could clearly see the three dazzling arcs of light. They could all feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the mighty figures of the Tribulation Transcendence realm. One after another, they fell to their knees in worship, lacking even the courage to look up—
This was the majesty of Tribulation Transcendence realm experts, standing above all creation, striking awe into heaven and earth, and commanding the worship of countless sects.
Merely from the outward surge of their auras, the Jade Void Sect's grand mountain-defending array shattered entirely under the terrifying pressure, crumbling like flimsy paper into countless fragments that dissipated into the world.
"Huang Haotian!"
"Come out and face your death!" The voice boomed down like rolling heavenly thunder.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
