“Senior Sister, don't say that. You will be fine. You will definitely continue to hold the position of Sect Leader…”

Hua Bingyu's voice choked, her heart filled with sorrow.

“What are you doing? There’s no need for this.”

Gong Qingxuan raised her hand and touched her cheek, “Calm your mind. Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily real.

There is a predetermined fate in the dark. Sometimes it’s a bad thing, but sometimes it might turn into a good thing. There’s no need to be so sad.”

“Senior Sister, what do you mean by that?”

Hua Bingyu had always stayed by Gong Qingxuan's side and believed she understood her Senior Sister very well, but these words left her utterly bewildered, completely unable to grasp their meaning.

Gong Qingxuan said, “You’ll understand some things later.”

Feng Zhiwu stood by, feeling the sorrow in Hua Bingyu’s heart, and couldn’t help but say, “Sect Leader, Grand Elder, all of this was caused by Xiao Fan and me. Why don’t I just leave?

If I leave the Sect, then I’ll have nothing to do with Liuguang Sword Sect, and those people will naturally retreat.”

“Nonsense!”

Gong Qingxuan turned her head and glared at her fiercely, her eyes filled with sharpness.

“Ye Bufan is my Disciple, and I am his Master!

No matter what a Disciple does, I will bear it for him. No one can bully my Disciple.

Similarly, you are a Disciple of Liuguang Sword Sect. No matter what, I will never use you to negotiate terms or leverage with others.

This conversation ends here. You are absolutely forbidden to bring it up again, otherwise, you will be dealt with according to Sect rules!”

These words were extremely stern, but Feng Zhiwu felt a heart full of emotion upon hearing them.

Hua Bingyu said, “Senior Sister is right. Liuguang Sword Sect has no cowards. Even if we fight to the last person, we will not bow our heads.”

“You are wrong. The battle is my business, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Gong Qingxuan’s tone was calm, “If I die, you can take over as Sect Master, but Liuguang Sword Sect cannot fall!”

Hua Bingyu said anxiously, “Senior Sister…”

“Don’t worry, don’t think so pessimistically.”

Gong Qingxuan reached out and interrupted her, “I have peered into the heavenly secrets. Although Liuguang Sword Sect faces a significant tribulation this time, the ultimate outcome will be Rebirth from the ashes.

As long as we overcome this difficulty, we will surely soar to greatness in the future, becoming a major Sect in the Lower Heaven Region and even the entire Immortal Realm.”

“This…”

Hua Bingyu was speechless for a moment. With the strong cultivators from the Three Great Celestial Domains besieging the Sect, she couldn't see a way out for the Sect.

Moreover, Gong Qingxuan had already said that this was not even the final tribulation; the greater tribulation was yet to come.

“Alright, don’t think so much. It’s still the same saying: there is a predetermined fate in the dark. Perhaps this is not a bad thing.”

Gong Qingxuan said, “You two go out first. I need to adjust my state to prepare for the great battle seven days from now!”

“Yes!”

Hua Bingyu also knew that this was not the time for sentimental matters. She agreed and led Feng Zhiwu outside.

Days passed, and the strong cultivators from the Three Great Celestial Domains attacked Liuguang Sword Sect's mountain-protecting Formation without rest, in turns.

Previously, the protective barrier was unbreakable, but after seven consecutive days, the Formation finally began to waver.

With each attack, the golden light shield would experience an uncontrollable tremor, and its strength was much weaker than before.

Zu Fangkui burst into laughter, “Immortal King, it’s just as expected! Their immortal crystals are only enough to last seven days. We’re about to break through!”

The three Immortal Kings, Donghua Immortal King, He Honglian, and Bai Lingpu, were also filled with excitement. After fighting here for seven days, the moment of harvest had finally arrived.

Seeing the hope of success, the people from the Three Great Celestial Domains no longer rotated and attacked together, intensifying their assault.

After about another fifteen minutes, there was a loud bang, and the protective Formation’s immortal crystals were completely exhausted. The light shield transformed into golden specks of light filling the sky and dissipated into the Void Realm.

“We finally succeeded!”

Everyone from the Three Great Celestial Domains showed joyful expressions, and Donghua Immortal King, He Honglian, Bai Lingpu, and others were even more overjoyed.

And just then, the gate of Liuguang Sword Sect opened wide, and a group of people walked out from inside, led by Gong Qingxuan.

Qingwei Celestial King exuded a powerful aura and shouted, “Gong Qingxuan, your greatest reliance has been broken. Why aren’t you kneeling and admitting your guilt?!”

“Just a Formation!”

Gong Qingxuan’s voice was calm as she took a step, standing between the Three Great Celestial Domains and Liuguang Sword Sect.

With a flick of her wrist, a silver longsword appeared in her palm.

“Today, with me and my sword here, no one can step half a step into Liuguang Sword Sect, and no one can bully my Sect’s Disciples.”

“Sect Master Gong, listen to this old man’s advice and do as the Immortal King ordered. Hand over that female Disciple.”

The speaker was a white-haired old man, none other than Xiahou Yuan, the Sect Master of Tiangang Sect.

Regardless, they were once part of the Four Great Sects of Qingwei Heaven, and their relationship was still amicable. He did not want to see Liuguang Sword Sect destroyed.

Gong Qingxuan said, “Sect Master Xiahou, I appreciate your kindness.

But my Disciples are absolutely not allowed to be bullied by anyone, nor will I allow some petty individuals to take his woman as a hostage.”

“Stubborn and unrepentant. You truly won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”

Immortal King Jifeng stepped forward and waved his hand behind him, “Who will take down this woman for me?!”

Qingwei Celestial King frowned but did not speak.

Regardless, Gong Qingxuan was once one of his subordinates. It would be beneath his dignity to act himself, but it was also inconvenient to let others act.

Since Immortal King Jifeng wanted to take the lead, then let him do it.

“I’ll do it!”

As soon as the words fell, a curvaceous Red-Clothed Woman stepped out.

This person appeared alluring and enchanting, but her cultivation was by no means weak, having already reached the Middle Stage of Immortal King.

She held a fiery red long whip in her hand and walked over, swaying her seductive body.

“Why would such a beautiful woman wear a mask? Is she too ugly to be seen?”

Gong Qingxuan held her sword with one hand, her voice cold, “Either get lost, or die!”

“What an arrogant woman. Let’s see how capable you are.”

The Red-Clothed Woman flicked her wrist, and the red long whip in her hand, like a spiritual snake emerging from its hole, shot towards Gong Qingxuan’s face with lightning speed.

Originally, in her opinion, Gong Qingxuan’s cultivation should be below hers, at most on par.

But she never expected that as soon as she made a move, a sharp sword light flashed before her eyes, incredibly fast.

“This…”

The Red-Clothed Woman was greatly alarmed, not expecting the opponent’s swordsmanship to be so sharp.

She quickly flicked her wrist, reeled in her long whip, and formed a wall in front of her, trying to block the sword.

The facts proved that she had completely overthought it. Gong Qingxuan’s sword was too sharp. In almost the blink of an eye, it shredded the long whip into countless pieces, and then pierced through her chest.

“This…”

The Red-Clothed Woman’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She clearly hadn’t expected to be unable to block even a single move from her opponent.

Then, a wisp of Primordial Spirit overflowed from her Mud-Pill Palace, but before it could escape, another sword light pierced through it, slaying the Primordial Spirit under the sword.

Gong Qingxuan held her sword, radiating Killing Intent, and looked sharply at the people from the Three Great Celestial Domains.

“Next!”
