Thousand Illusions Sect.
Since the day the Thousand Illusion Sage was killed, and the sect leader returned with the disciples, the skies over Thousand Illusions Sect have been clouded with gloom.
The death of the Saint was a huge blow to the sect. Previously, everyone knew their sect had a Saint, giving them confidence in everything they did. Now, with the Saint gone, even the sect leader won’t allow new disciples to join. The entire sect feels like it’s in a self-imposed isolation.
This is manageable for a short ti, but inevitably, so will wish to venture out.
Soon, many disciples snuck out of the sect, only to be targeted by the Tian Can Sect, captured, and used to threaten Thousand Illusions Sect. Afterward, it led to the widely circulated confrontation between the two sects.
Tian Can Sect couldn’t break through the Thousand Illusions Sect, stopped by the Sect Protection Array.
"Sect Leader, the casualty report is ready."
"Go ahead."
"Eleven fell in the Void-breaking Realm, thirty-seven lost in the Emperor Realm, twenty-five lost in the King Realm, nineteen lost in the Myth Realm..."
Listening to the report, the sect leader of Thousand Illusions Sect’s expression turned grim. Although the Divinity Transformation Realm and Return to Ruins Realm martial artists were unhard, losing eleven in the Void-breaking Realm was a heavy blow; these were the future pillars of the sect.
"Tian Can Sect, daring to target us, do they intend to replace us?" The sect leader bit his teeth, hatred for Tian Can Sect filled his heart.
"Sect Leader, Tian Can Sect’s assault is undoubtedly because we lack a Saint’s protection, and they covet our position among the three great sects," said Elder Wanyan Hong.
The sect leader knew this too, but he was surprised by Tian Can Sect’s eagerness to act.
"Elder Wanyan, do you have any thoughts on dealing with Tian Can Sect?" asked the sect leader.
"Without a Saint, it’s normal for others to eye our position. We must display our strength to deter other sects, showing we’re still formidable, so they won’t act rashly," said Elder Wanyan Hong.
"According to Elder Wanyan, how do we deter Tian Can Sect and make them stop?"
"It’s actually not difficult. They dare to act against us because we lost our Saint. If we exhibit a Saint’s power, Tian Can Sect will surely retreat in fear."
"A Saint? Where would we find a Saint? Elder Wanyan, are you joking at such a ti?" The sect leader asked seriously.
"No, Sect Leader, I’m not joking. True, we lack a Saint, but we can borrow a Saint from another sect. If we borrow another Saint’s strength and disguise it as our own, it would be flawless. Once revealed slightly, outsiders will see that our sect not only has one Saint but also a powerful and mysterious Saint," Elder Wanyan slowly explained.
"Oh?" The sect leader was persuaded. This was a strategy, albeit reliant on others, but it could help navigate the current crisis.
"But where do we find this Saint?" The sect leader was perplexed.
"I’ve already addressed this for you, Sect Leader. Please don’t bla . I’ve requested the Sky Star Sage to aid us, considering his relationship with the Qianhuan Ancestor. With the Sky Star Sage’s secret help, the crisis can be resolved," said Elder Wanyan.
The sect leader was sowhat dazed. Requesting aid from the Sky Star Sage was correct, but Sky Star Sect is one of the three great sects. Would the Sky Star Sage act just because he was once a close friend of the Thousand Illusion Sage?
Moreover, the Qianhuan Ancestor is deceased.
For the Sky Star Sage, a single intervention demands a high price. The sect leader felt it wasn’t easy.
"Sect Leader, it’s our only option. Without the Sky Star Sage, we must rely on the Sect Protection Array. Staying within the formation isn’t a viable long-term solution."
"Alright, it’s our only choice now. I hope your plan succeeds," sighed the sect leader.
The disciple sent by Elder Wanyan to Sky Star Sect returned in less than half a day.
This disciple hurriedly entered the main hall, and Elder Wanyan asked urgently, "How did it go?"
"Elder... the Sky Star Sage..." The young disciple hesitated, causing Elder Wanyan to shout angrily, "Speak up!"
Startled, the young disciple quickly said, "The Sky Star Sage wouldn’t see ..."
"What!"
Elder Wanyan froze, unsure what to say, and looked at the sect leader.
The sect leader smiled bitterly, "The Sky Star Sage won’t intervene."
Elder Wanyan’s plan didn’t even begin before it ended. He felt he had let the sect leader down.
"We must rely on ourselves. Outsiders are ultimately outsiders. Elder Wanyan, we must rely on the Sect Protection Array now. What do you think Tian Can Sect will do next?"
"With the Sect Protection Array, Tian Can Sect can’t easily harm us. We must use this ti to find a way forward. Tian Can Sect pretended to be weak, but now reveals its sharp teeth. They have more Return to Ruins Realm experts than us. If they break our mountain gate array, Thousand Illusions Sect will face grave danger."
"Indeed, Tian Can Sect’s depth is terrifying. If we’re careless, we may suffer greatly."
In front of Thousand Illusions Sect’s mountain gate, many disciples took turns guarding, periodically changing shifts to monitor everything around, fearing outsiders might infiltrate without notice.
"Damn, Tian Can Sect’s getting bold. They used to bow before us, and now they want to overtake us. It’s really frustrating."
"If not for our Saint’s fall, Tian Can Sect wouldn’t dare act against us."
"Alas, what we should hate is not Tian Can Sect but Ye Fentian. Without him, our Saint wouldn’t have died, and Tian Can Sect wouldn’t act against us. It’s all Ye Fentian’s fault. Ever since he appeared in Qingfeng County, nothing good happened."
"Indeed, Ye Fentian is the true culprit. Without him, we wouldn’t suffer like this. Who would dare intrude in Thousand Illusions Sect at night?"
All the disciples of Thousand Illusions Sect were deeply resentful of Ye Qiu. After all, Ye Qiu killed their Saint, leading Thousand Illusions Sect to its current predicant. Yet, they only dared to talk; seeking revenge against Ye Qiu was impossible. Who would confront soone who could kill a Saint?
Seven or eight disciples of Thousand Illusions Sect were discussing, when suddenly, they noticed a slight disturbance in the Sect Protection Array before them.
Initially, they didn’t pay attention until their vision suddenly cleared, realizing the Sect Protection Array had vanished without a sound.
"Where’s the formation?"
"What’s going on?"
"Look, there’s soone in the sky. Why does he look so familiar?"
"He resembles Ye Fentian..."
Ye Fentian?
Instantly, everyone looked tense, noticing multiple figures appear beyond the mountain gate, increasingly nurous, recognizing the emblem on their clothes.
Everyone understood; Tian Can Sect had arrived.
Tian Can Sect night raid!
