Earlier, they had personally witnessed Cui Yingying, a core disciple, in the midst of the chaos. But amid the self-destruction of those Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators, she seemed utterly insignificant, instantly turning into ashes.
"Is the war about to start?" Lu Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask.
Zhou Qing and the others were silent.
Maybe. After all, such a peaceful life is moving away from them.
Not long after, Cao Zhengyang and the others hurriedly flew back.
"Send someone immediately to investigate the situation at Cyan Feather Immortal Sect."
"Contact the people from Golden Thunder Sect to see what’s happening?"
"Notify all disciples outside, protect themselves well, do not return during this time, and beware of being intercepted halfway."
"Arrest all the spies from the other sects that we’ve secretly identified within the sect and interrogate them unifiedly."
Orders were continuously issued, the alarm bell rang nine times, and the entire Taiqing Sect instantly mobilized, entering a state of battle preparation at once.
"Zhou, be careful!" After Lu Yaoyao warned him, she hurriedly left with He Han and the others.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also followed orders and rapidly returned to Little Spirit Peak to organize everyone for the upcoming needs.
Not until the afternoon did they see Mo Xingjian return wearily.
"Master—" The two hurried forward.
Mo Xingjian waved his hand and said, "According to the scouts’ reports, Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has now been breached, and the attackers were from Golden Thunder Sect."
Hearing this, the two could still hardly believe it.
Zhou Qing hastily said, "Could the mysterious force be Golden Thunder Sect?"
Mo Xingjian shook his head, "It is yet to be confirmed because the one cooperating with Golden Thunder Sect is not Cangyan Daoist Palace but another mysterious force. Their attacks are ruthless and decisive, and their origin is still unknown."
"What about Immortal Xuan You and the others?" Yan Xiaohu quickly asked.
After all, Cyan Feather Immortal Sect was one of the five major sects. How could it be breached in just one day?
Mo Xingjian said solemnly, "The barrier of the mountain gate was opened from the inside, and the attacks took place in the dead of night, catching everyone off guard."
"Although Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has been breached, its vast internal regions still harbor a large force fiercely resisting. The exact situation is still unclear."
Zhou Qing furrowed his brows, worriedly said, "With the mountain gate controlled, it essentially becomes a trap. Wiping them out is only a matter of time. What does the Sect Leader think? Will there be a rescue?"
Mo Xingjian slowly shook his head, "It’s unclear for now. The Sect Leader is mainly worried that the enemy has already set a trap, waiting for us to fall into it."
The two looked at each other. It truly was an obvious but unavoidable strategy.
Rescue could lead to numerous traps ahead, and if Cangyan Daoist Palace hasn’t acted yet, once they do, we might be besieged from all sides.
If we don’t rescue, Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, our only reliable ally, would be destroyed, disrupting the balance among the five major sects instantly.
If their lips are lost, their teeth would be cold. The next target, everyone could guess, would be Taiqing Sect.
Will they then have to ally with the weak Phecda Sect in resistance?
"Currently, the Sect Leader is trying to figure out who the mysterious force is and why they are helping Golden Thunder Sect to attack Cyan Feather Immortal Sect..." Mo Xingjian hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly took out his identity token.
The message was from Cao Zhengyang, saying he had received news from Master Xuanji, the Sect Leader of Phecda Sect, asking what we should do next.
Phecda Sect, the weakest among the five, would surely be in trouble if the balance among them is broken.
"You stay put, I’ll make another trip to Divine Peak!" After Mo Xingjian instructed them, he hurriedly left.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other, now they could only wait.
"What do you think?" Yan Xiaohu asked, looking at Zhou Qing.
