Leizhou, Tianxuan Mountain.

A gigantic Heavenly Cloud Boat spanned across the mountain range, with numerous Tianxuan Mountain Disciples transferring various cultivation resources into it, their expressions somewhat excited, as they were finally able to leave Leizhou.

Gongsun Yun, along with the three Ancestors, watched the bustling scene, their faces also showing signs of relief. In half an hour, everything would be ready, and the Heavenly Cloud Boat could commence its escape.

Before this, Tianxuan Mountain had been gathering disciples and all resources— they planned to take everything with them to make a faster comeback in a new place.

In recent days, the Da Qian Empire had already retreated a considerable distance. Huozhou and Qingzhou were nearly half evacuated, and in a few more days, they would be completely withdrawn to the Mid Six Province.

Leizhou had been under the Yinyang Sect’s rule for several days now, and the forces that did not follow or could not follow the Da Qian Imperial Army’s retreat could only accept the rule of the Yinyang Sect— this included Tianxuan Mountain as the most prominent among them.

The Four Sects of Leizhou: the Hehuan Sect was a branch of the Yinyang Sect and had acted as the vanguard during the invasion of Da Qian; both the True Sun Sect and the Sword Cleansing Pool had retreated with the Da Qian Empire, leaving only Tianxuan Mountain which had not retreated, but neither had it allied with the Yinyang Sect.

The forces in the Sanzhou region all knew that Tianxuan Mountain had three Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm return, which was Tianxuan Mountain’s backbone. However, not aligning with the Yinyang Sect, even several Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm couldn’t hold back the invasion of the Yinyang Sect.

Previously, the Yinyang Sect was occupied with taking over Leizhou and pursuing the Da Qian Imperial Army in Qingzhou and Huozhou, so they did not bother with Tianxuan Mountain, as it would stretch their power thin and reduce their achievements in the pursuit of Da Qian.

After all, Tianxuan Mountain had three to four Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, as well as the Mountain Protection Array. Without Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm taking action, it would take at least six or more Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm for the Yinyang Sect to breach Tianxuan Mountain.

The Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and other leading commanders of the Yinyang Sect’s army thought it was not cost-effective. Tianxuan Mountain wasn’t going anywhere anyway. They preferred to wait until they had completely swallowed up Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou, and then turn back to pressure Tianxuan Mountain— that was the optimal choice.

It was a good plan, but a piece of intelligence forced the Third Elder to make changes. Tianxuan Mountain actually had a space-faring ship, which could enable the entire mountain to retreat. How could this be allowed?

The intention of the Third Elder and others was to coerce Tianxuan Mountain into submitting to the Yinyang Sect and to convert to following the Demon Path. If they refused, they would annihilate Tianxuan Mountain.

Now that Tianxuan Mountain entertained the notion of completely relocating, they naturally wouldn’t permit it. They not only wanted to keep Tianxuan Mountain but also to seize that space ship.

Capable of carrying the entire Tianxuan Mountain to retreat, its speed was at least comparable to that of the True Martial Realm— it was truly a treasured artifact. The Yinyang Sect did not possess such a ship; only the Demon Clan did.

Thus, after a discussion, the Fourth Elder immediately returned to the Yinyang Sect and called forth another Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm stationed at the Yinyang Sect’s Sect. The Third Elder continued leading the army to battle the Da Qian Empire, doing their utmost to eliminate Da Qian’s living forces.

“One more quarter-hour.”

Gongsun Yun and the three Ancestors’ expressions became increasingly relaxed; they would be able to retreat safely very soon.

Once the Heavenly Cloud Boat launched, even common strong practitioners in the middle stage of the True Martial Realm wouldn’t be able to catch up; they could only watch as they left.

“Yue, you should go up too,” Gongsun Yun said to Gongsun Yue behind him, his tone leaving no room for disagreement.

Gongsun Yue nodded slightly but did not insist any further. Since everyone would soon be leaving together, Gongsun Yun wouldn’t stay behind either.

She flew towards the Heavenly Cloud Boat, her purple dress billowing, her purple hair dancing in the wind, her figure radiating light, her charm natural and unrestrained— she instantly became the center of attention, drawing the gaze of all the disciples.

Qiu Shuilin snorted coldly, and the disciples came to their senses, no longer indulging in the beauty of Gongsun Yue, and continued with their tasks at hand.

“Half a quarter-hour more.”

Gongsun Yun exhaled a breath and turned to the three Ancestors, saying with a smile, “Sect Leader, and fellow Ancestors, let’s go up as well.”

The three Ancestors nodded their heads. The time was almost due, and everything that needed to be prepared was ready. The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain had mostly already boarded.

With a flash, they appeared at the bow of the Heavenly Cloud Boat, looking down at Tianxuan Mountain below, emotions running deep on their faces.

“The foundation laid down by the Sect Leader has ultimately not been preserved,” the Second Ancestor said with a hint of sorrow.

“There’s no need to be so downcast, Sect Founder. It’s only the gate of Tianxuan Mountain that we have lost. At least all else that belongs to Tianxuan Mountain remains intact. Once we leave the Da Qian Empire, it will be easy for our strength to re-establish itself in a new territory,” the Head of the Fourth Generation said with a chuckle, envisioning the future.

“Indeed, wait just a little longer, and we will be able to embark on our journey, freeing ourselves from the constraints of the Da Qian Empire— the sky will be high for the birds to soar, the sea vast for the fish to leap,” the Head of the Third Generation added.

Gongsun Yun’s face was filled with a smile, and just as he was about to speak, his expression abruptly changed. It wasn’t just him, the expressions of the three Ancestors changed at that moment as well.

“Leave? I don’t agree. No one from Tianxuan Mountain will get away today.”

A cold voice, full of murderous intent, pierced through the Array, echoing throughout Tianxuan Mountain, causing turmoil among all the Disciples on the Heavenly Cloud Boat.

“Hurry, go!”

“Ignore everything, start it immediately!”

Gongsun Yun and the others shouted as they activated the Heavenly Cloud Boat. They saw a figure in the distance of the sky, wrapped in dense demonic energy, with an overwhelming presence, steadily approaching Tianxuan Mountain.

That was undoubtedly an Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm.

With every step he took, he closed a great distance to Tianxuan Mountain, and in just a few strides, he arrived at its perimeter. His overwhelming presence bore down on Tianxuan Mountain, causing the light of the Mountain Protection Array to flicker, on the verge of shattering.

At that moment, the Heavenly Cloud Boat had just launched, its arrays activated, ready to break away into the void, but in the next instant, the figure struck out with a palm. A blood-red giant palm shattered the Mountain Protection Array and slammed into the Heavenly Cloud Boat.
