The next moment, the young man at the South Peak slowly opened his eyes, his robe billowing despite no wind. An evident transformation took place, visible to the naked eye. That feeling was akin to the steadiness after enduring hardships, or like the tragic resolve of throwing everything away, and more like the growth after weathering many storms.
His eyes, gradually becoming more steadfast, slowly gazed towards the northernmost direction.
Over there, there were the people Ye Xiaofan was most worried about, and his sister Ye Xiaoyue was suffering torment.
Now, this world no longer can contain him; temporarily leaving is inevitable. But before departing, he still needs to rescue his sister from the depths of suffering.
And at this moment, the only method to take Ye Xiaofan out of the Divine Maiden Sect is through the Demon Realm Sacred, or the Immortal Elder. The latter, although half his master’s ancestor, only stood in the teacher’s capacity and is already doing him a tremendous favor in coming across endless territories to protect him. Naturally, he could not demand anything further.
In comparison, Ye Xiaofan leaned more towards Yunmo Baitian and his followers.
After a brief contemplation, the young man at the South Peak finally murmured, his voice not high-pitched, but extremely calm, yet full of supreme terror.
And this sentence was only a short four words.
"Attack the Icefield!"
Boom——!!!
The instant Ye Xiaofan’s words fell, the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range was struck as if by thunder, stirring billions of waves.
Countless cultivators widened their eyes, full of disbelief.
Clearly, that figure had just accepted the allegiance of the Demon Realm Sacred and directly ordered the attack on the Icefield.
Upon hearing this, Yunmo Baitian and his companions were almost indifferent but immediately agreed.
"Follow the command of the young master; all Demon Realm Sacred Realm fighters, proceed to the Icefield at once."
"Relay my command, the Demon Realm army will promptly shift course, advance to the Icefield, and pressure the frontier!"
Rumble——!!!
After Yunmo Baitian finished speaking, he soared into the sky, followed by countless Demon Realm giants, all rising skyward, en route to the vast Icefield.
At the South Peak, Ye Xiaofan first made a deep bow to the Immortal Elder, then slightly bowed to the dozens of surviving elders at Array Peak and Qi Yun and others. After exchanging glances with Yunmo Xi, Luo Qingxian, and others, he too took flight, heading towards the boundless Icefield.
For a moment.
The entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range was deeply shocked. Countless cultivators watched the Demon Realm Sacred Realm’s mighty force spreading far and wide, all feeling a chill down their spine.
Obviously, any cultivator aware of Ye Xiaoyue’s plight understood what this meant. That figure leading the Sacred Realm army against the Icefield was evidently to rescue his sister.
Amidst the vast crowd.
As those four words spread across the four directions, incomprehensible panic enveloped the Divine Maiden Sect cultivators, all breaking into cold sweats, trembling with profound dread.
Especially Li Chiyao and other cultivators who had withdrawn from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ and the senior figures who later came to this world from the Divine Maiden Sect all trembled violently, instantly seized by anxiety and turmoil.
"Senior Sister, what should we do? What should we do?"
"Catastrophe has arrived, the Divine Maiden Sect faces disaster."
Countless female cultivators of the Divine Maiden Sect gasped, their fair faces whitening with urgency, bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The mere venture of the Demon Realm Sacred to the Icefield already marked a supreme calamity. Yunmo Baitian’s forces leading the Demon Realm troops toward the Icefield could escalate into the potential obliteration of the Icefield without negotiation.
Not only were countless Divine Maiden Sect powerhouses scared out of their wits, even Li Chiyao lost her composure, seemingly hollowed out of her soul, eyes filled with urgency and fear: "Quick, quick, notify the sect, immediately inform the Sect Leader, catastrophe has arrived, the Divine Maiden Sect faces disaster—!"
Li Chiyao spoke, immediately turning her gaze towards a Saint Realm fighter beside her, urgently reminding this Divine Maiden Sect elder to notify the sect. However, she turned back only to see this Divine Maiden Sect elder standing dumbfounded.
That was the army of the Sacred Realms; no one understood more than she the terror of such conglomerates convening—their sheer threat was undeniable. At this point, it wasn’t merely them trembling but the entire Icefield.
"Done for, done for, the Divine Maiden Sect, done for—!"
This Divine Maiden Sect elder continuously muttered to herself in despair, eyes filled with hopelessness and regret.
Now, with the Immortal Elder present, not even the top ten Divine sects dared act rashly. The Divine Maiden Sect needed to face the entire Demon Realm alone, which couldn’t be more than a foregone conclusion.
Yet, at this moment, the entire Icefield, the ever-majestic Divine Maiden Sect sect, was unaware of the events transpiring in the Divine Sword Sect’s territory, with news far from being relayed.
The Divine Maiden Sect’s Saint Realm fighter dared not imagine when the sect’s multitude of high-level figures would see the boy they least considered sweeping in with the overwhelming Sacred Realm power and Demon Realm grand army. It would be an unimaginable spectacle.
Although the Divine Maiden Sect long ago issued a kill order against the successor of the Sword Saint, all Divine Maiden Sect cultivators clearly knew that even now, it remained contemptuous, ignoring the Sword Saint’s successor, barely taking notice.
Because in the view of the upper echelon of the Divine Maiden Sect, that figure faced inevitable death. Even if not, even if given several decades, he could never threaten the foundation of the Divine Maiden Sect.
Not needing several decades, the Divine Maiden Sect Leader could seize that Divine Body; coupled with the Sect Leader’s cultivation, within a few years, it would surely execute Ye Xiaofan before he could rise.
But none anticipated the stunning changes within the Hundred Broken Mountain Range and Demon Realm within just a few years.
"Back then, I opposed the Sect Leader’s decision, but they wouldn’t listen, they wouldn’t listen—!!!"
