#759 - Chapter 759: Refuge in the Sword Cave

"Alright, since I can't order you around, there's no point in you staying by my side. You should head back early."

Seeing the icy coldness in Ye Ling's eyes, Xuan immediately understood that Ye Ling was serious.

Immediately, he knelt down with a "plop" and said, "Lord Ling, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"

Ye Ling smiled upon seeing this and said, "Considering this is your first offense, I can let it go. But if there's a next time, you can leave."

"Hong is gone, and you also have your own life. There's no need to protect me."

Through this incident, Ye Ling had completely understood.

In this world, the only one you can rely on is yourself.

You can't place all your hopes on others.

That would lead to a miserable defeat.

"Thank you, Lord Ling, for your generosity. This subordinate will never dare to do it again. This subordinate will go and do as you instructed!"

Ye Ling nodded upon hearing this, and braving the storm, landed the spirit boat beside Lin Yaoyao and the others.

Xuan acted swiftly, quickly pulling Ye Ling and the others onto the spirit boat one by one.

"Lord Ling, you've finally come…"

Seeing that it was Ye Ling, Lin Yaoyao's tense sharpness immediately diminished by more than half, as she gasped for breath.

"You lie down and rest. Don't worry, your junior brothers and sisters are all fine."

Hearing Ye Ling say this, Lin Yaoyao finally relaxed and instantly fell asleep.

Seeing that everyone had arrived on the spirit boat, Ye Ling nodded, signaling Xuan to raise the spirit boat and head towards the Zixia Pavilion.

"Deputy Peak Master, but Master is still down there."

Ye Qingjun bit her lip, looking down worriedly.

Xuan glanced at Ye Ling upon hearing this, the anger in his eyes almost overflowing.

This Ye Kong, all the efforts Lord Ling had made for him were in vain. At the critical moment, he couldn't be relied upon at all.

Now he wants them to go back and save him, hmph, dream on!

Xuan decided that if Ye Ling wanted him to go back and save Ye Kong later, he would leave immediately.

He wouldn't follow a master who didn't even have a shred of dignity.

"Oh, someone will save him. Don't worry about him."

"Xuan, this wind and rain are too fierce, hurry up!"

Ye Ling said with a very indifferent look, only instructing Xuan to speed up the spirit boat.

Hearing this, Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy on his face returned.

Ye Qingjun hesitated upon hearing this, then whispered to Xiaobai.

"Senior Brother Xiaobai, Master he…"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaobai interrupted Ye Qingjun.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, Master will be fine."

Heh, Master had repeatedly allowed Xiaoshan to bully him. This time, he would let Master taste the bitterness as well.

Wind, rain, lightning, hail, and rocks all fell from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the buildings up and down the Star River Sect were destroyed, a complete mess.

Only the Sword Cave of Tianjian Peak was not destroyed due to the obstruction of the sword intent within the Sword Cave.

"Sect Master, the sect is in trouble, what should we do?"

"Sect Master, now all the sect disciples have no place to live, what should we do?"

"Sect Master, did we provoke someone powerful? Why is only our Star River Sect having such a big storm?"

… …

In the face of disaster, everyone panicked.

What past affection and respect, are not as important as survival.

Therefore, the peak masters were all arguing non-stop outside the Star River Hall, barely able to stand.

"Have you made enough noise? All of you shut up!"

Luo Yangtian was annoyed by the noisy voices of the crowd, and his heart ached even more. He roared angrily, leaning on his spirit staff.

Since Luo Yangtian broke through the shackles, his position in the hearts of the people has risen a lot.

Immediately, although there was still unwillingness on everyone's faces, they still calmed down and looked at Luo Yangtian, hoping that the Sect Master could come up with a solution.

Luo Yangtian used the power of the Star River to separate a safe area for everyone.

Within the area, there would occasionally be wind, but at least they didn't have to be rained on and avoid the falling rocks from time to time.

Everyone's complexion improved a lot.

After pondering for a while, Yao Zidan took the lead and said: "Sect Master, we have to think of a way quickly. It's not a solution to stay in the safe area all the time. This wind and rain doesn't seem to have any sign of stopping."

"Why don't we go to the newly opened sect territory to avoid it?"

Before Yao Zidan could finish speaking, Luo Yangtian shouted angrily: "How can we leave? Do you want to abandon the territory passed down by the ancestors?"

"Have you noticed that there are fewer people?"

Luo Yangtian's eyes were icy cold, and he coldly swept over everyone present.

"Fewer people?" Xiao Wu glanced at the dark crowd after hearing this.

He thought to himself: "There are so many people, how can I know who is missing."

Just when everyone was whispering and couldn't figure out who was missing, Liu Ruyan slapped her thigh.

"I know who's missing. Xiaoyao Peak, the people from Xiaoyao Peak are not here…"

Liu Ruyan gasped, her heart was terrified.

At this time, no one from Xiaoyao Peak came out, wouldn't that be…

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's face turned pale.

Everyone thought of this at once, and suddenly lost the eagerness they had just now, just looking at Luo Yangtian without speaking.

"Heh, you only think of Xiaoyao Peak now?"

"Have you forgotten how Xiaoyao Peak defended the sect against enemies before?"

"This time, the reason why you are still standing here safely is because Xiaoyao Peak has carried too many disasters for you."

In order not to make everyone feel that Xiaoyao Peak had brought disaster to the Star River Sect, Luo Yangtian preemptively shaped Xiaoyao Peak into a heroic image of sacrificing oneself for the overall situation.

But in his heart, he silently prayed that Ye Kong could make plans early.

This Xiaoshan is clearly a person who exists in violation of the Immortal Realm's Dao rhythm.

He was really powerless against someone who could not be tolerated by Dao rhythm.

"Then we will go and save the Xiaoyao Peak disciples. The Xiaoyao Peak disciples are also members of our sect and cannot stand idly by."

Liu Ruyan remembered Ye Kong's help time and time again, and felt very unbearable, and there was a lot of guilt in her heart.

It was all her fault for being in a hurry to escape and not thinking of Xiaoyao Peak.

"No need to go, I have already sent someone. If you go now, you will die!"

Seeing that Luo Yangtian had achieved his goal, he said slowly.

"Everyone, listen to the order!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Luo Yangtian said sternly.

"Later, Yun Peak Master and I will temporarily seal the sword intent of the Sword Cave, so that all disciples can enter."

"All of you must not take the opportunity to cause trouble. If you want to leave our Star River Sect, you can leave now."

"Our Star River Sect does not keep those with ulterior motives."

"This is the only chance to leave. If you don't leave this time, then I will default that you all want to stay, and you should know the sect rules for today's behavior!"
