Of course, not all of the Divine Sword Sect’s newly risen extraordinary prodigies rushed forward without hesitation; those who truly leaped forth were the senior brothers and sisters with whom that figure had a life-and-death bond, all cultivators of the Self-Slaying Realm.
For example, Shi Jingtian and Wang Changsheng, though they desired to join, unfortunately lacked the cultivation to have any qualification to participate in such a battlefield.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, even Ye Xiaotian at the peak of Spirit Sword Peak made the same move. After a deep bow toward the peak of Divine Sword Peak, he flew towards that world.
The high-ranking officials of Divine Sword Sect watched this scene, all infuriated.
"Outrageous, outrageous, what are you all doing?"
"Jian Wushuang, Lin Changkong, how dare you?"
Countless Supreme Elders of Divine Sword Sect watched this scene, their faces changing color in anxiety.
However, countless figures proceeded without hesitation, all rushing toward that world.
Seeing this spectacle, the new and old disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were all greatly shocked. Though they didn’t know what had happened to these senior brothers in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ they could tell the weight that young man held in their hearts, and discern the qualities of his character.
In truth, Jian Wushuang and his ilk of newly risen extraordinary prodigies, upon returning to the sect, had become completely disillusioned with the Divine Sword Sect, especially given its decision to abandon the Sword Saint and the Sword Saint’s successor, causing disunity in their hearts.
Moreover, as they had reached the limit to leave the sect, they naturally made their choices accordingly.
Yet despite this, it was nearly half of the peak representatives of the Divine Sword Sect’s newly risen extraordinary prodigies going to aid the other party. What an astonishing and unheard-of influence!
Naturally, not all the newly risen extraordinary prodigies heading to support Ye Xiaofan did so solely out of a sense of camaraderie; many were focused on the future of that figure. At this moment, they saw that the Sword Saint’s successor truly had hope of leaving this world, and if they helped him today, they would surely stand in the shadow of greatness.
As the saying goes, fortune favors those who take risks. To them, such life-and-death gambles were commonplace, and if they could send that person away, it would be an immense favor and an extraordinary opportunity to forge a beneficial alliance with an ancient taboo prodigy, a chance that one could scarcely encounter.
For whatever reason, numerous figures sprung up from the ground of Divine Sword Sect and soared toward the vast battlefield.
"It’s mutiny, mutiny, truly mutiny!"
Numerous Elders of Divine Sword Sect saw this scene, stomping their feet in anger.
However, all that was in Luo Li’s eyes at this moment were the backs of Luo Qingxian and Luo Qingchen.
As the current Sect Leader of Divine Sword Sect, bound by various constraints, she naturally could not discard her sect leader attire and move forward to the brutal battle like these newly risen extraordinary prodigies. Once the sect leader of Divine Sword Sect appeared in the battlefield, even if she discarded the sect leader attire, she could not extricate Divine Sword Sect from the quagmire.
If the sect leader intervened, then Divine Sword Sect would be indirectly drawn into it.
Still, Luo Li did not stand by coldly. Immediately, looking anxious, she instructed the figures by her side aligned with Divine Sword Sect Leader’s lineage: "Qingfeng, Mingyue, take Mountain Orchid and Light Boat with you, protect Xian’Er and Chen’Er, and ensure their safety no matter what."
Upon hearing this, the four Saint Realm masters of the Divine Sword Sect Leader’s lineage trembled slightly. Going to escort them meant the four had to cast aside their Divine Sword Sect attire, leaving the sect forever, as remaining Divine Sword Sect cultivators would bring unimaginable disaster upon the sect through this action.
After a moment of reflection, the four striking figures respectfully accepted the command and departed.
As the four saints set off, Luo Li spoke again.
"Four sisters, this journey will take many years. I entrust Xian’Er and Chen’Er to you. Wherever they go, I hope the four sisters will protect them on their journey. Words cannot express my gratitude; I hope to repay you in the future."
Speaking thus, Luo Li slightly bowed to the four strongest Saint Realm masters of the sect leader’s lineage.
The four women met each other’s gaze and bowed in return, then turned to the sky.
Clearly, with Luo Li’s entrusting, it meant the four would not return, for Divine Sword Sect cannot explain matters to those authorities; Qingfeng, Mingyue, Mountain Orchid, and Light Boat would follow Luo Qingxian siblings as their guardians for the foreseeable time.
As the four soared away, Luo Li nervously watched all this, her breath seemingly becoming more rapid.
Little did she know, upon departure, whether it was the four Saint Realm masters or Jian Wushuang and the others, they would soon become Ye Xiaofan’s most steadfast and reliable supporters, and it would be this formidable force that would play an unimaginable role when that figure moved toward a greater world.
At the same time.
In the void beyond the Endless Territory.
Boom—!!!
A fierce battle unfolded in this world, blood dyed the void red as the fight turned the sky dark and the sun and moon lost their light.
Billions of cultivators and countless familiar figures stood among the vast sea of people below, watching all the changes in this world, gasping heavily.
Especially the cultivators of Star Moon City, they were completely stunned.
The youth who came from the little mountain village, the youth looked down upon by all, the youth perceived as a waste, within a few short years had stirred such an immense, terrifying wave; countless giants from the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region were caught up in it, showcasing a scene of profound horror.
Above the boundless void of wind and snow.
