"I hope Father can make it in time."
After sending Xu Lianyu and the others away, Su Jinghan had intended to disperse the current merchant caravan and let them flee separately with their goods.
However, no one was willing to leave; they all wanted to stand or fall together with Su Jinghan.
Su Jinghan had no choice but to accept their decision. She was well aware that even if these people stayed, they would definitely not be able to resist the Xuan Yin Sect; it would only be a senseless sacrifice of life. If they fled now, there might still be a sliver of a chance for survival.
Just before, Su Jinghan had already sent a message to her father, who was on his way to her.
But before that, her father had already disbanded Haiyue merce, urging everyone to flee for their lives.
Regarding the conflict between Haiyue merce and the Xuan Yin Sect, Su Jinghan’s father, Su Yingzhou, saw no solution; without even a Heavenly Human Realm expert, Haiyue merce truly had no capacity to confront the Xuan Yin Sect.
Yet, knowing their enemy was the Xuan Yin Sect, many martial artists within Haiyue merce still refused to leave, choosing to stand or fall with Su Yingzhou, to share life and death together.
Su Yingzhou was helpless. Unsure what to say to these brothers who had fought side by side with him, he rushed towards Su Jinghan with them.
Hissss—
By the time Su Yingzhou arrived, Su Jinghan and the martial artists from Haiyue Caravan were already battling the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect.
The fighting was extremely fierce, with countless casualties among the warriors of Haiyue merce, and Su Jinghan herself was injured as well.
"Kill them all, save the girl and her father for the Sect Master to deal with. Leave no one else alive."
The martial artists from Xuan Yin Sect, with over a thousand in pursuit, were led by several individuals at the Fifth Layer of Reverting Void Realm, specifically four of them.
Although the rest of the martial artists were somewhat weaker, their strength was still far above that of everyone from Haiyue merce.
Immediately, Su Yingzhou and the others joined the fight. After a fierce skirmish, they too were defeated, with countless martial artists from Haiyue merce slaughtered or gravely wounded.
"All of you can now serve as a funeral offering for our Young Sect Master."
Just as the Xuan Yin Sect martial artists were about to exterminate everyone—
Swoosh, swoosh—
Sword Light from afar launched an attack at the Xuan Yin Sect martial artists.
Three figures emerged from the distance, the very same Xu Lianyu and her panions who had returned.
After leaving, Xu Lianyu and the others had been restless, unable to stop worrying about Su Jinghan, thus they had unanimously decided to return and find her.
"Why have you e back?"
Seeing Xu Lianyu and the others return, Su Jinghan’s face changed dramatically. This calamity was originally Haiyue merce’s own to face, and Xu Lianyu and the others really shouldn’t have e back, drawing fire onto themselves.
"Sister Su, now is not the time to discuss this. Fighting the enemy together is what matters."
Hua Lianxin said indifferently as she looked at the Xuan Yin Sect martial artists.
"Kill them!"
The disciples of Xuan Yin Sect, upon seeing Hua Lianxin and the others, heard from Shi Shangli’s followers that he was killed by a young woman and, observing the three women together, concluded that the culprits were the very trio before them.
Blades and swords clashed, Spiritual Light collided in the air, causing loud booms.
After a bout of bat, Hua Lianxin and her panions were also defeated.
Although many Xuan Yin Sect disciples fell by their hands, the sheer number of disciples present was overwhelming, and some of the Xuan Yin Sect Executive Elders had a strength that surpassed theirs by far.
Hua Lianxin was strong, but she couldn’t withstand the siege of martial artists at the Fifth Level of Reverting Void Realm.
"We will first cripple your Cultivation and then sever your hands and feet before taking you back to the Sect to face the Sect Master’s judgment."
An Executive Elder of Xuan Yin Sect declared, following which the group lunged at Xu Lianyu and her allies.
The faces of Xu Lianyu and the others paled, contemplating whether to use the Qiankun Escape Talisman to flee.
But if they escaped, Su Jinghan and Su Yingzhou would be at risk, and it was uncertain whether, even if they escaped a hundred li away, the surrounding hundred li would be free of Xuan Yin Sect martial artists.
If they fled separately, their strength would be dispersed, and they would be even less of a match for the Xuan Yin Sect.
Hum—
Just as Xu Lianyu and the others were uncertain of what to do, a burst of Sword Qi suddenly came flying in, repelling the Xuan Yin Sect disciples.
"Who is it? e out!"
Seeing their efforts thwarted by an outsider, the Executive Elder of Xuan Yin Sect bellowed towards the direction of the Sword Qi.
Then, a weary figure, holding a Light Sword, emerged from the void.
The person was none other than Li Hanyi. After finding out that Hua Lianxin and her panions had secretly left Divine Sun City, Lin Chen was worried and had specifically asked Li Hanyi to protect them covertly.
Lin Chen had stated that Hua Lianxin and her panions needed experience, so unless absolutely necessary, Li Hanyi would not take action.
"A Sixth Layer Reverting Void Realm expert!"
The Executive Elder of Xuan Yin Sect felt shock upon sensing the aura emitted by Li Hanyi.
Among those dispatched, the highest Cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of Reverting Void Realm.
"Friend, Xuan Yin Sect is conducting affairs here. Better leave promptly if you don’t wish for trouble," the Executive Elder of Xuan Yin Sect addressed Li Hanyi, his tone lightly threatening.
"If you want to fight, let’s fight. Why waste words?"
Upon saying this, Li Hanyi engaged in battle with the people from Xuan Yin Sect.
"Lianyu, take them and leave first,"
Li Hanyi said to Xu Lianyu.
Hearing Li Hanyi’s words, Xu Lianyu and the others led Su Jinghan, Su Yingzhou, and the few remaining Haiyue merce martial artists away from the scene.
"Miss Xu, who exactly are you people? The powerful figure just now, is he an elder of yours? With his strength alone, can he really handle so many Xuan Yin Sect disciples?"
While fleeing, Su Jinghan asked Xu Lianyu curiously.
Hearing this, Xu Lianyu furrowed her brows, also uncertain in her heart.
However, at that moment, Wang Yilin came closer.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Master Li’s bat prowess is very formidable."
