Upon arrival at Xuantian Sect, Mu Qingge and the four Peak Masters headed to Xuantian Peak, while Xu Sheng and his group entered Tianlan Peak...
Xu Sheng glanced at Gu Linruo beside him and asked, "Senior Sister Gu, have your injuries healed?"
She had been seriously wounded in the Secret Realm! It would be troublesome if there were any lingering effects...
Faced with such a public inquiry, a blush crept across Gu Linruo's cheeks, and she shyly responded, "Yes! I'm almost completely healed, don't worry."
Mu Yun noticed this cloyingly sweet exchange and couldn't help but smack his lips, tilting his head back to take in the lush greenery and beautiful scenery...
Shaking his head, he sighed, "Ah, being away for a whole day really makes me miss Master!"
Next to him, Mo Qingyue blinked her beautiful eyes and chuckled behind her hand, "Mu Junior Brother, are you sure it's Master you're missing?"
Mu Yun's face suddenly turned awkward, and he scratched his head, "Mo Junior Sister, I may know it deep down, but saying it out loud is still pretty embarrassing!"
Mo Qingyue's tone suddenly shifted, filled with a trace of gratitude, "But... Mu Junior Brother, in the Secret Realm, thank you for the most..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Yun casually waved his hand, earnestly saying, "Who calls you my Junior Sister? Isn't it only natural that I would help?"
The next moment, as if something dawned on him, the corner of his mouth raised in a sleazy smile, "Mo Junior Sister, you haven't fallen for me because of my heroic bearing in that moment, have you?"
Mo Qingyue gritted her teeth, "Go die! How could I possibly love... love you! My goal is Junior Brother Xu!"
The faint touch of emotion that had just risen in his heart immediately shattered...
Mu Yun laughed heartlessly, "Hehehe, I knew it was something like that."
However, his deep eyes dimmed slightly...
Just then, Yun Cong came rushing out of the courtyard, and upon seeing that Xu Sheng and the others had returned...
He stretched out both arms and excitedly gave Mu Yun a bear hug, "Mu Junior Brother, it's so good that you're back!"
The terrifying strength he exerted made Mu Yun gasp in pain...
Then, he turned around, intending to give Mo Qingyue a bear hug as well...
She hastily backed away two steps, laughing awkwardly, "Senior Brother Yun, I... I think I'll pass! Men and women shouldn't touch each other casually!"
Seeing Yun Cong's gaze turn to him, Xu Sheng's mouth also twitched a few times, "I... I think I'll pass as well!"
This rough greeting, combined with seeing Mu Yun's gasp of pain, was more than most could handle!
Gu Linruo also subtly stepped back a few paces, evidently startled by his unrestrained attitude as well!
While Yun Cong may have a straightforward character, he's not foolish. Clearly, he understood that continuing like this would only make him the embarrassed one!
After a glance at everyone, he nodded and said, "It's good that none of you are hurt!"
Mu Yun said in a disgruntled tone, "Yeah! Indeed, we weren't hurt, but we almost got killed by the disciples of other sects!"
Hearing these words with a hint of sarcasm, Yun Cong furrowed his eyebrows, "Mu Junior Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that disciples from the other sects wanted to kill you guys?"
Mo Qingyue's beautiful eyes glanced at Xu Sheng as she gently laughed, "Yes! But it was they who got killed in the end!"
Yun Cong nodded thoughtfully, not asking further, presuming it wasn't a particularly delightful matter!
At that moment, Xu Sheng interrupted them, "Senior Brother Yun, is Master still inside?"
They had almost forgotten to summon Yun Churan to go to Xuantian Peak amidst their chatting!
Yun Cong was taken aback and then responded, "Yes, he is, but Master just finished drinking and went to sleep!"
After the words were spoken, a line of people then walked into the courtyard...
...
Xuantian Peak!
Inside the grand hall!
The surrounding space felt incredibly oppressive and solemn...
Suddenly, with a "crack", a figure reeking of alcohol with slightly reddened cheeks, Yun Churan, stumbled in...
He sat down in his own seat, slightly befuddled and said, "Sect Master, Senior Brothers, and Sisters!"
This endearing scene turned the faces of the other Peak Masters dark, but it did somewhat ease the tense atmosphere...
Mu Qingge's voice held a touch of helplessness, "Junior Sister Yun, the matter we're about to discuss is very important. If you're not feeling well, perhaps you should..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Churan's body suddenly erupted with spirit force fluctuations, and the drunkenness was completely dispelled by the spiritual power...
Regaining her composure, Yun Churan spoke emotionlessly, "I'm fine, Sect Master, please continue."
Seeing this, Mu Qingge nodded and said in a very serious tone, "Aside from Junior Sister Yun, the other Peak Masters should also be aware of the situation. The other three sects participating in the sect's power struggle are harbouring ill intentions toward us!"
"Not only do they want to take the opportunity to kill our disciples in the secret realm, but they have also conspired to destroy our Xuantian Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Churan immediately countered with a grave voice, "Destroy Xuantian Sect? Sect Master, you're not joking, are you?"
Although the other three sects always banded together to oppress their Xuantian Sect, when it came down to it, the four sects were like grasshoppers on the same vine!
How could they suddenly want to destroy Xuantian Sect!
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak spoke earnestly, "Junior Sister Yun, this is something that Xu Sheng and the others learned from the disciples of the other sects; it should be true!"
The cold light flickered in Luo Qingyang's eyes as she analyzed, "They must have harbored this thought for a long time but couldn't find a legitimate reason for war! As for now, I'm afraid they no longer care about maintaining appearances and want to act against us!"
Yun Churan pursed her thin lips, also realizing the gravity of the situation, "If that's the case, given our Xuantian Sect's military strength compared to the combined forces of the three Great Sects, winning would be practically impossible!"
Muhuan sighed, "It's not practically, it's definitely! Just thinking of those Nascent Soul Stage Elders gives one a headache! Let alone the three Deity Transformation Realm Experts. Relying solely on Sect Master Mu alone is basically a death wish!"
Mu Qingge nodded and added, "Exactly, that's why I've asked you all here to discuss what to do!"
The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak pondered, "I think we should first evacuate the younger disciples from the sect, otherwise..."
Before he could finish, Yun Churan denied it...
She said coldly, "No... The enemy would surely anticipate that. I'm afraid Xuantian Sect is already under complete surveillance! Escaping under their watch is simply not realistic!"
Muhuan asked, "Then what do you think we should do, Junior Sister Yun?"
At these words, Yun Churan chose silence...
Ling Luoyan's beautiful eyes flickered a few times before she sighed, "We can't escape, does that mean we can only meet them head-on?"
Luo Qingyang replied helplessly, "It seems that is indeed the case!"
Muhuan slammed the table fiercely, exclaiming angrily, "Then let's face the battle! The people of our Xuantian Sect are not afraid to die. Even if it costs us the destruction of our entire sect, we will make them suffer!"
Seated at the head, Mu Qingge quietly closed his eyes and said as calmly as possible, "This matter requires careful deliberation..."
Right now, the only ones who could help Xuantian Sect were...
