Chapter 630 | I Really Don't Want to Cultivate Immortality!

The East Desolation front had collapsed. A million demon beasts were sweeping in from the east to the west.

Beast god powerhouses could arrive at any moment.

For the Wendao Sword Sect, it was a case of adding insult to injury.

Yet,

The predicament did not end there. Just as the power of the lightning tribulation dissipated and the struggle for the East Desolation was lost, a streak of frost-white, a rainbow light trailing like a comet, shot rapidly across the distant horizon...

Inside and outside the mountains,

Inside and outside the conflict,

Friend and foe alike raised their heads to watch.

A startling flash of light approached in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the confusion of the onlookers, the newcomer hovered above the long gorge, holding a blood-covered figure in each hand.

With a casual toss,

The two figures fell into the mountain gate of the Wendao Sword Sect like kites with severed strings.

Yao Xiqiao, who was already heavily injured, gritted his teeth. His eyes flickered, and his figure vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had caught both of them steadily.

He finally landed at the head of the Longevity Bridge, which had mostly collapsed.

Feeling the two in his arms, whose breaths were as faint as silk and whose lives hung by a thread,

He looked up and stared fixedly at the beautiful figure in the air.

His aura was overflowing with hostility.

He let out a hoarse, angry roar, "Tu Sisi!"

Tu Sisi merely glanced at him and said nothing.

Within the Wendao Sword Sect, several flashes of light also landed at the head of the Longevity Bridge. When they saw the state of the two blood-covered figures,

The expressions in their eyes were not just filled with worry, but also pain.

"Ancestor Lei!"

"Ancestor Lin!"

At the mountain gate, the disciples broke into a clamor, and anxiety spread everywhere.

"How can this be?"

"Has the North Sea... also fallen?"

"This..."

At this moment, their hearts were heavy, and their thoughts were in disarray.

The bitter battle at the mountain gate had already pushed them to their limits.

The far north,

The East Desolation,

Both fronts had collapsed.

The three ancestors were each more heavily injured than the last.

The situation was far worse than they had imagined.

Outside the mountains,

The invading enemies laughed arrogantly. One piece of good news after another had arrived during this dawn.

It was truly heartening.

Especially when they felt the countless surges of demon qi rapidly approaching from the distant horizon.

They knew very well.

The Wendao Sword Sect,

Could not hold on any longer.

Annihilation.

It was only a matter of moments.

They had been anxious before, but now they suddenly felt no rush.

As if victory was already in their grasp, they began to fantasize about how to celebrate.

"Interesting."

"Being able to hold out for two days is impressive enough..."

"It seems the North Sea and the East Desolation really put in a lot of effort this time."

However,

Some were also worried, especially the demon immortal spirit body hovering above the mountain gate of the Wendao Sword Sect.

It was hard to tell friend from foe.

Jiang Wanyin knew the situation was dire. She clenched her fists, and her water clones began to dissipate one by one, vanishing into nothingness.

With a few leaps, her true body retreated to the head of the Longevity Bridge.

As she passed Tu Sisi, the two of them briefly locked eyes and nodded to each other.

"Everyone, fall back!"

She issued the command. The Wendao Sword Sect experts who had been fighting outside the Longevity Bridge retreated one after another, leaping over One Sword Gorge and back into the mountain gate.

Li Qingshan also suppressed his hostility.

He forcibly bottled up the grief of his master's death in his chest.

He changed into a new set of clothes and leaped back onto the plaza.

Jiang Wanyin called over a Pavilion Elder and gave the order.

"Awaken the Seven Star Sword Array!"

"As you command!"

The Pavilion Elder turned into a streak of light and shot toward the high peaks. Hovering in the sky, he shouted loudly.

"Activate the array!"

In an instant, among the thousand mountains of the Wendao Sword Sect, at the locations of the seven peaks, the disciples who had been waiting for a long time released their spiritual power with all their might to drive the great array.

"Activate the array."

"Control the spirit."

...

Seven pillars of colored light surged into the sky, shattering the clouds.

They transformed into seven stars, their energies connecting to form a massive array that enveloped the entire several hundred miles of the Wendao Sword Sect's territory.

The light curtain was hazy, and the array runes were dazzling.

The great array shone brilliantly.

The Seven Star Sword Array.

The Wendao Sword Sect's second killing array.

An array of slaughter, it could both attack and defend, second only to the sect-protecting formation left by Li Taibai, the Immortal-Slaying Array.

The powerhouses outside the mountains showed no fear when they saw the array rise. Instead, their eyes were filled with schadenfreude and arrogance.

Using this array,

Was proof that the Wendao Sword Sect was at its wit's end.

Once this array was broken,

There would be no more variables.

Unlike the Immortal-Slaying Array, which could slay saints,

Why would a saint fear a mere Seven Star Sword Array?

This was but the final struggle of the Wendao Sword Sect; they would simply need to expend a little more time.

"Heh... they really can endure, only activating the array now."

"Is it useful? It's just the Seven Star Sword Array. We can just smash it."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move."

"Wait, there's no rush. Some people haven't arrived yet."

...

At this moment, the various races outside the mountains reached a certain silent agreement: to wait.

They weren't waiting for the Wendao Sword Sect to recover.

They were waiting for like-minded allies to tread upon this peak together.

Tu Sisi still stood there, solitary.

Inside the mountain gate of the Wendao Sword Sect, a brief period of reorganization was taking place, though everyone remained on high alert.

Lei Yunche,

And Lin Fengmian,

Woke up one after another under Jiang Wanyin's spirit infusion. Their faces were pale, their expressions pained, and they were extremely weak.

Especially Lin Fengmian,

Who no longer had the strength to fight.

"Are you three alright?"

Jiang Wanyin asked the three of them with concern.

The three of them showed expressions of shame and self-reproach as they responded one by one.

Yao Xiqiao: "I'm alright."

Lei Yunche: "I won't die."

Lin Fengmian: "From here on, I probably won't be able to help."

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister. I couldn't stop them."

Jiang Wanyin looked at each of the three. Her tone held no blame as she simply asked, "What happened?"

According to the intelligence,

It shouldn't have been like this.

She knew the three of them well. If they couldn't stop the enemies, it wasn't because her junior brothers were too weak, but because a variable had occurred.

Yao Xiqiao told her the truth: a Water Qilin had emerged from beneath the Divine Moon Pool in the East Desolation, and it was incredibly powerful.

He was no match for it,

And had been defeated.

That fellow was currently leading Bai Ze and the others here.

They would arrive soon.

He also mentioned that he heard Bai Ze and the others calling it the Ancestor.

Its power to control water was extraordinary.

It was not inferior to Jiang Wanyin's.

Jiang Wanyin's eyes darkened. The variable she feared most had indeed occurred.

Then,

Lei Yunche spoke about the situation in the North Sea.

He said that all eight demon immortal spirit bodies had come, and even that old dragon of the North Sea had made a move.

There were simply too many people.

They had been worn down until they could no longer fight.

He glanced at Tu Sisi in the sky and said, "If not for Immortal Tu's intervention, the two of us would likely be resting eternally in that far north frost land."

Hearing this,

Li Qingshan was puzzled and said in surprise, "She is the Tushan Immortal Fox. Why would she save you?"

It couldn't possibly be because of Tu Kongkong, could it?

Tu Kongkong had been in the sect for less than ten years.

For the sake of that relationship, Tu Sisi would betray the North Sea?

It was too ridiculous; if said aloud, likely no one would believe it.

Lei Yunche shook his head.

He couldn't figure it out either.

Lin Fengmian had some guesses, but he didn't say them, nor did he dare to speak recklessly...

Only Ye Xianyu spoke without restraint. "How stupid. What else could it be for? It must be because of your old Martial Grand-Uncle."

"Hmm?"

Because of his Martial Grand-Uncle?
