Amidst the vast, hazy snowstorm, above the void of Wang Yang’s territory, towering figures shattered the void, crushing the snow.
As the endless giants confronted Dugu Nan, they also soared toward the summit of South Peak.
These world-shaking giants seemed close at hand, yet they were still separated from Divine Sword Sect by an endless territory.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators watched the awe-inspiring figures charging from all directions toward Divine Sword Sect, each struck as if by lightning, gasping in shock, their spines tingling with unease.
A young cultivator, unexpectedly drawing such supreme giants to take action; what an unprecedented spectacle! Even if today’s youth on South Peak meets a tragic fate, his name would echo through the Hundred Broken Mountain Range for countless ages.
Perhaps centuries, millennia, or even endless eons later, ancient tomes of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range will still record the tale of a boy named Ye Xiaofan at the Self-Slaying Realm, who attracted the joint assault of supreme giants.
This will be a feat without precedent or successor, entering the cultivation realm for seven years, making waves across the world; giants besieging—how fantastical indeed! If not witnessed personally, who would believe it?
Yet here this vision unfolds, now genuinely happening atop Divine Sword Sect.
Clearly, those former adversaries of Sword Saint have long been consumed by fear and heart demons from the past, willing to abandon their status and dignity to ensure the youth on South Peak meets a barren death.
If he does not perish, he will become a nightmare for these giants in the future, perhaps given a few centuries, his power and cultivation might surpass even the Sword Saint’s terrors.
For these giants, they see beyond present cultivation; the greater threat looms centuries ahead.
Within Divine Sword Sect’s mountain gate.
Countless disciples and elders, including the Supreme Elders, of Divine Sword Sect watched the surging tide of supreme giants from all directions, their breaths racing, faces altering drastically.
At a certain moment.
"All elders heed the command, migrate the Sect Protection Array; without my order, none may step outside the mountain gate."
Boom—!!!
Accompanied by the Deafening sound ringing within Divine Sword Sect, the Sect Protection Array rose abruptly, guarding Divine Sword Sect steadfastly within the grand array.
Currently, within Divine Sword Sect’s mountain gate, outer disciples had already retreated entirely to the inner region. To better protect the sect’s disciples, the high-ranking officials of Divine Sword Sect made a decisive choice to shrink the array that once enveloped the entire sect, unequivocally abandoning the outer region.
Not only the outer region, but at this moment, Divine Sword Sect’s Sect Protection Array even severed away the very South Peak, no longer sheltering it.
Clearly, as with previous decisions, Divine Sword Sect chose to abandon the Sword Saint and his successor, forsaking South Peak.
From a bird’s-eye view, the entire Divine Sword Sect divided its mountain gate region in two; countless Spirit Peaks close to South Peak and the outer regions were no longer protected, extracted and cast aside.
And the infinite elders and high-ranking officials of Divine Sword Sect had solemn expressions, all fixing their gaze on the supreme giants surging toward South Peak.
"I said long ago, Dugu Nan should not remain on South Peak; the range affected by such powerful attacks is vast. If it impacts the mountain gate’s disciples, the consequences are unthinkable."
One high-ranking figure of Divine Sword Sect was filled with worry. If there weren’t any Entering the Saint Realm experts guarding the summit of South Peak right now, it would still be manageable; the boy standing before the saints is like an ant, easily crushed by a palm strike.
However, the situation is far from optimistic; Talisman Saint Qi Yuan and Sword Saint have a life-and-death pact, even Divine Sword Sect’s high-ranking officials couldn’t prevent his decision to aid Sword Saint.
Moreover, Yunmo Xi now brings a Demon Realm giant; South Peak found itself with two giant experts, though the numbers seemed disparate against the overwhelming masses arriving from all directions, even reversing the trend. Once giants clash, their earth-shattering power is unimaginable.
In an instant, on every summit of Divine Sword Sect, ancient, decrepit white-haired figures appeared to oversee, unleashing unbounded sacred power to envelop all sect disciples, isolating the aura of endless giants outside.
And while Divine Sword Sect disciples were under the sect’s protection, the youth on South Peak appeared abandoned, left to fend for himself.
Gazing at Ye Xiaofan, alone and isolated from the sect’s protection, the enchanting figure on Divine Sword Peak trembled slightly.
Luo Qingxian watched remotely, filled with urgency and guilt within her beautiful eyes, even subconsciously stepping forward, only to have a large hand press her shoulder instantly.
Luo Qingxian turned back to see Luo Qingchen, who had arrived behind her unknowingly, and it was his hand restraining her.
At this moment, Luo Qingchen also gazed toward South Peak, his look at that youth filled with indescribable complexity.
"Sister, this realm is beyond our reach now; perhaps this is his fate."
Luo Qingchen finished speaking, sighing helplessly, his eyes visibly filled with futility. With giants of this stature hunting, even Divine Sword Sect’s high-ranking officials could not intervene. How could a brother and sister duo at the Self-Slaying Realm possibly influence the outcome?
Let alone extend aid to him; the mere step outside Divine Sword Sect’s Sect Protection Array could result in their instant obliteration by the sacred power’s impact.
Listening to her brother’s words, Luo Qingxian’s exquisite face showed endless guilt, seemingly blaming herself, softly murmuring, "I promised him Divine Sword Sect would never abandon him; I promised him."
