CHAPTER 570: FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY REINFORCEMENTS

"Great Elder Li Feng, Family Heads, let us strike together!"

Not far away, Yan Chun clearly sensed that Ran Xing seemed no match for the formidable opponent; he waved his hand decisively, truly fearful any unsought change might disrupt this plan.

"Yun Xiao, what should we do now?"

Seeing Yan Chun and Li Feng itching to move, Yu Shu, sensing the still unrecovered Qi within him, anxiously consulted Yun Xiao at this crucial moment, despite being the Sect Leader.

Or perhaps Yu Shu knew that if the Jade Pot Sect wished to escape this dire situation today, they might still have to rely on this young man, as he himself was out of options.

"Hey, Master, they have reinforcements, but our Jade Pot Sect isn’t playing alone either!"

Just as Yu Shu finished speaking, Yun Xiao suddenly chuckled and then turned around, calling out loudly, "Sect Leader Jia Yi, you’ve watched enough of the show, isn’t it time to make a move?"

Yun Xiao’s sudden loud calling startled everyone at Jade Pot Sect pleasantly, and it also slightly changed the expressions of Yan Chun and Li Feng who were approaching, especially upon hearing that name uttered, which caught them utterly off-guard.

"Haha, Yun Xiao, it seems there are indeed things you can’t handle!"

Everyone gazed fixedly in a certain direction, then a refreshing female voice echoed, followed by the appearance of a group of graceful figures, all of whom were women.

Within the Xuanyue Empire, the only sect entirely composed of women, mysterious yet powerful, had to be the Luo Yi Sect, and the two leading figures were hardly unfamiliar to those from the Jade Pot Sect.

"I had originally wanted to see what brilliant means you had to turn the tide, Yun Xiao, only to find ourselves having to step in. You’re quite disappointing me!"

The slowly approaching Sect Leader Jia Yi, whether genuinely or faux, shook her head with a wistful look, but honestly, after witnessing many of Yun Xiao’s miraculous techniques, she really wouldn’t have shown herself if it weren’t for his revelation at the last moment.

Although the Royal Family’s plan was covert, the Luo Yi Sect had its own intelligence system, making their arrival barely later than Qingshan Sect and the three great families.

Despite what Jia Yi publicly stated, owing to Yun Xiao previously helping Liu Hanyi control the Immortal Poison Body and significantly boosting her power, the head of Luo Yi Sect had never intended to remain uninvolved.

Back when Jia Yi said that great favors were too big for thank-yous, she took it to heart; she knew stepping into these muddy waters might drag Luo Yi Sect down, but she was definitively not one to change sides with the wind like Fu Du, forgetting morality for profit.

"Even though I still have some methods, not utilizing such a significant aid as Luo Yi Sect would be too regretful!"

Facing the Sect Leader of Luo Yi Sect, Yun Xiao seemed not at all uneasy but instead half-jokingly responded, making Yan Chun and the others’ faces grow even darker.

"Sect Leader Jia Yi, do you realize the consequences of this act? Aren’t you afraid of leading the entire Luo Yi Sect to destruction because of this decision?"

As the leader of this venture and the spokesperson for the new King, Yan Chun indeed had the authority to say such words.

After all, within Xuanyue Empire, the Xuanyue Royal Family remained a colossal entity, not just with peak experts aplenty but also hundreds of thousands of troops capable of trampling Luo Yi Sect.

Not even considering those hidden forces, even if the Jade Pot Sect and Luo Yi Sect were to join forces, they likely wouldn’t stand against the Royal Family, Qingshan Sect, and the Imperial City’s three great families.

Yan Chun sincerely couldn’t fathom why such a typically low-profile and mysterious sect would suddenly join forces with the Jade Pot Sect. He didn’t know the great favor Yun Xiao owed to Liu Hanyi, a favor so significant that even risking her life and fortune wouldn’t make Jia Yi falter.

"Hmph, if you want to fight, then fight; does my Luo Yi Sect look scared to you?"

Although Jia Yi was a woman, her domineering aura didn’t lose out to any man’s. When she spoke these words, the many strong Luo Yi Sect figures behind her, including the young genius Liu Hanyi, all emitted powerful Qi.

"Sect Leader Jia Yi, if the Jade Pot Sect can escape this calamity, we’ll be sure to repay this great favor!"

Yu Shu was somewhat stirred; he knew well the relationship between Jade Pot Sect and Luo Yi Sect wasn’t so profound. At this critical juncture of life and death, to receive such strong support, how could he not be moved?

"Sect Leader Yu Shu, our Luo Yi Sect’s intervention isn’t for you, but to repay Yun Xiao for aiding Hanyi. Don’t flatter yourself!"

Just as Yu Shu finished speaking, Jia Yi revealed a dismissive smirk. Although the words were slightly impolite, Yu Shu wasn’t offended at all.

Regardless of the reason, Luo Yi Sect’s involvement in this treacherous situation posed great risks. If today Jade Pot Sect couldn’t escape calamity, the new King would surely not tolerate the Luo Yi Sect, this disobedient sect, continuing to exist within Xuanyue Empire.

Only in order to repay kindness did [Sect Leader] Jia Yi gamble the lives and fortunes of all the cultivators of Luoyi Sect; no matter how it’s said, Yu Shu has to accept this favor, unforgettable for a lifetime.

"I think you all should focus on recovering your Meridian Qi as soon as possible, we can’t stop those despicable fellows!"

Seeing that Yan Chun and Li Feng and others had gotten a bit closer, Jia Yi shouted, and as she said, Luoyi Sect alone absolutely couldn’t withstand the joined forces of so many powers.

Even if Yu Shu and Lu Zhan could recover to their peak, the enemy still held an absolute advantage; now it depended on whether they could hold out until the Blood Winged Fire-Eyed Lion defeated Ran Xing and came to assist.

"Obsessed and unenlightened, then all of you go die!"

Seeing Jia Yi completely ignoring him, Yan Chun, unable to contain his fury, bellowed, and then Qingshan Sect’s Sect Master Li Feng beside him took the hint and directly targeted the Sect Leader of the Luoyi Sect.

"Hey, I’ve long heard that Sect Leader Jia Yi’s heroism is no less than any man’s, today I finally get to witness it myself!"

Li Feng sneered, his gaze briefly sliding over the graceful figure of Jia Yi, his tone also carried a hint of mockery, which immediately darkened Jia Yi’s face.

"If you want to witness this Sect Leader’s prowess, you’ll need to pay a price!"

Seeing that she had been locked onto by Li Feng’s aura, Jia Yi also merely shouted sternly and immediately, the two great sect leaders engaged in fierce combat.

Qingshan Sect excels in strength, their moves are broad and powerful, whereas Luoyi Sect consists mostly of women, naturally they would not confront Li Feng directly; their agile movement techniques indeed caused the Qingshan Sect Master to become flustered and exasperated.

However, both were powerhouses who had almost stepped into the Earth Rank Realm, and although they had never crossed hands before, their cultivation and techniques were evenly matched, momentarily neither could gain the upper hand.

The battle of these two great sect masters was like a fuse that ignited further strife, the powerhouses of Qingshan Sect and the three great families swooped in together, with some even targeting the younger generation of Jade Pot Sect, their faces displaying scorn and sneers.

This time, Qingshan Sect and the Royal Family had brought mostly older generation powerhouses, at least those who had reached the Spirit Vein Realm, the only Meridian Union Realm cultivator was Li Yue.

If only counting the number of Spirit Vein Realm powerhouses, Luoyi Sect and Jade Pot Sect combined were far from comparable, after all, though the three great families were slightly weaker than the three great sects, they were not much weaker; this top fighting power was almost evenly matched.

Moreover, together with the Royal Family, even teacher Yan who was previously at the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, had somehow managed to breakthrough to the Early Spirit Vein Realm in these one to two years, significantly increasing his combat power.

Suddenly, chaotic battles erupted everywhere, and it seemed that under Jia Yi’s strict orders, the people of Luoyi Sect had surrounded the Jade Pot Sect Leader and several Great Elders in the center, to buy them some time to neutralize the severe poison.

This point was naturally also realized by Yan Chun and others, although they were not afraid of the Jade Pot Sect elders regaining their strength, but that would still undoubtedly be troublesome.

Notably, when the great battle erupted, several Great Elders of the Poison Vein branch of Jade Pot Sect were completely pushed aside, leaving those younger disciples of the Poison Vein quite at a loss.

"Disciples of Jade Pot Sect, heed my command; as long as you do not collude with traitors like Fu Du, once this matter ends, all will be pardoned!"

At this critical juncture, as these Poison Vein branch disciples were unsure how to choose, a voice like a tranquilizer suddenly rang out, it was indeed issued by Yun Xiao, immediately letting them know which side to join.

As geniuses of the Xuanyue Empire, these Poison Vein branch disciples definitely had their own judgments, no matter how gloriously Fu Du spoke, betraying the sect was an utterly despicable act.

Even now, facing a great enemy, Jade Pot Sect might likely be destroyed, and one might even perish in this battle for the sect’s survival, yet only about a dozen people followed Fu Du and Mo Li to the outside.

These dozen disciples were naturally the trusted direct lines of Fu Du and Mo Li because they knew that if they did not make a decision now, even if Jade Pot Sect won later, they would not be favored by the sect.

Seeing that only a dozen or so confidants had followed Fu Du out of Jade Pot Sect, Fu Du’s face couldn’t help but turn a bit sour; he was the one who aimed to become the new Sect Leader of Jade Pot Sect, but now with only a few followers, wouldn’t he become a leader without support?

"Shortsighted fools, soon you’ll realize how foolish your decisions have been!"

Seeing those righteous and indignant disciples of Jade Pot Sect, Fu Du could only utter a harsh phrase, then he too joined the battle against Luoyi Sect.

No matter how mysterious and powerful Luoyi Sect was, they couldn’t possibly be the match for the united forces from five directions, especially now that the strongest, Jia Yi, had been tied up by Li Feng; the rest under half a stick ofincense’s time, were thoroughly falling into disadvantage.

Bang!

At a certain moment, the talented girl of Luoyi Sect, Liu Hanyi, suddenly felt a strong force approaching; even with her cultivation at the Peak of Meridian Union Realm, it was somewhat hard to bear.

Clearly, the one who moved against Liu Hanyi was undoubtedly a powerhouse who had at least reached the level of the Spirit Vein Realm.
