Zixia Manor’s ten thousand elite disciples surrounded Peony Island tightly, then began a frenzy of attacks on the formation barrier.
After the Defense Array of Peony Island activated, the defensive barrier ford was exceptionally sturdy. Despite the continuous attacks from the strong individuals of Zixia Manor, breaking through in a short ti was impossible.
The executives of Zixia Manor all understood that they had to maintain high-intensity and high-density attacks to possibly break Peony Island’s Defense Array in the shortest ti possible.
Otherwise, once Flower Pavilion’s disciples got a chance to breathe, they could use a vast amount of Spirit Stones to continually repair and strengthen the Defensive Array. If so, breaking through within a year would be hopeless.
"Steward Feng, can this Defense Array really hold for ten days without breaking?"
A Myriad Flowers Tower steward, who had slipped into the Defense Array, whispered to a companion beside him.
"Who knows! Leave it to fate!"
The steward shook his head, responding with a sigh.
The executives of Myriad Flowers Tower all understood that if Peony Island’s Defense Array was broken in three to five days, then the ten thousand elite from Zixia Manor would break into the island under the leadership of two Supre Elders. By then, unless they fled, the result would be total demise.
But if the Defense Array could hold for ten days without breaking, then the spiritual energy consud by Zixia Manor to break the array would be substantial, leading to a state of exhaustion. Even if the formation broke by then, Flower Pavilion disciples could wait in ease for the laboring enemy. Perhaps, they wouldn’t lose too terribly in the final showdown.
As for the chances of victory, the Myriad Flowers Tower executives hardly considered it. They only hoped that after the array broke, more Flower Pavilion disciples could escape, preserving so hope for future resurgence.
"This array is indeed much sturdier than before; it’s still possible to hold for ten days,"
Fan Luoying saw that the small barrier ford by the Defense Array only vibrated slightly under the fierce attack of nearly ten thousand elite disciples from Zixia Manor, showing no signs of collapse. She couldn’t help but relax and said to Lu Hongyun beside her.
Lu Hongyun said, "Fang Bai is indeed impressive! I rember he once said sothing about ’reversing the tide against the wind, turning defeat into victory.’ Could it be that he has a way to defeat Zixia Manor?"
Fan Luoying sighed, "Elder Lu, do you think we have any chance of turning defeat into victory?"
Lu Hongyun shook her head, "None."
Fan Luoying smiled bitterly, "Indeed! Absolutely hopeless! Unless..."
She turned to look in the direction of Myriad Flowers Tower, saying, "Unless our Flower Pavilion’s two Supre Elders Qin and Ye can recover fully, there’s hope to reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory! But... within just ten days, that’s simply impossible!"
The two elders of Flower Pavilion suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma. Even if they could regain consciousness, their injuries would likely take a decade or two to fully heal. Expecting recovery in just ten days is wishful thinking unless a miracle occurs.
Fan Luoying sighed deeply, scanning the tens of thousands of Flower Pavilion disciples on Peony Island, solemnly saying, "Disciples of Flower Pavilion, find a place to ditate and strive to be in the best condition for the final battle when the Defense Array breaks!"
Tens of thousands of Flower Pavilion disciples heeded her words, quickly searching for their preferred locations to sit cross-legged and recuperate.
The previously restless Peony Island soon quieted down, with only the thousands of foreign martial artists who couldn’t leave in ti, trapped within the Defense Array, feeling restless.
Led by Fan Luoying, more than ten senior mbers of Flower Pavilion sat cross-legged at the edge of Peony Island, facing the Zixia Manor executives attacking from beyond the barrier.
Once the Defense Array breaks, they will et the first wave of attacks from Zixia Manor’s powerhouses.
He Wujie and Zhao Wanqing sat beside Fan Luoying. After the array breaks, they both will join the high-ranking mbers of Flower Pavilion in confronting Zixia Manor’s two Supre Elders and several executives.
The incident of Qiu Jianren and Qiu Guangxuan’s deaths, although caused by Flower Pavilion disciple Lu Liyu, was executed by Fang Bai and He Wujie. Therefore, He Wujie volunteered to stay and help Flower Pavilion resist strong enemies.
He Wujie knew well that after Peony Island’s Defense Array broke, the confrontation between the two sides would be extrely brutal. Among the Flower Pavilion disciples present, perhaps only one in ten would survive.
Even He Wujie himself was not entirely confident about safely escaping this battle.
He Wujie had already decided that if things went south, he would fiercely protect Zhao Wanqing and Fang Bai to escape, having no regrets even if he were to die.
anwhile, as Zixia Manor’s disciples fiercely attacked Peony Island’s Defense Array and Flower Pavilion’s disciples recuperated on the island, Fang Bai inside Myriad Flowers Tower was slowly explaining Martial Dao Arcane to more than twenty Flower Pavilion junior disciples, including Lu Liyu and Li Muyun.
Li Muyun and others’ cultivation level were notably higher than Fang Bai’s. So when Fang Bai offered to explain Martial Dao Arcane and help them elevate their cultivation level within ten days, they were sowhat dismissive.
However, as Fang Bai’s explanations deepened, Li Muyun and the others’ expressions grew more solemn, with their focus becoming intensely concentrated.
Among the Flower Pavilion disciples entering Myriad Flowers Tower, all had exceptional qualifications, with Lu Liyu having an Innate Spiritual Root. Furthermore, Fang Bai’s explanations were simple and easy to understand. Hence, quite a few quickly grasped Martial Dao Arcane they had never encountered before, leading them to be elated.
Fang Bai spent an entire day explaining to Lu Liyu and the others, then advised them to comprehend on their own.
How much they could comprehend and how many levels of cultivation they could advance depended on their individual comprehension and fortune.
Fang Bai himself began closed-door training, using the vast cultivation resources obtained earlier to enter a frenzied Cultivation State.
The spiritual energy within Fang Bai’s Qi Sea had accumulated sufficiently. At the brink of this great battle, he felt it was ti to advance to the next level.
Three days later, within Myriad Flowers Tower, there was a periodic expansion of aura, spreading outward — a unique sign of martial artists advancing levels.
"It’s Li Yu, Muyun, and the others..."
"The twenty-one disciples entering Myriad Flowers Tower have advanced successively!"
"What happened?"
"Haha, I guess this matter is related to my disciple!"
"You’re talking about Fang Bai? What about him?"
"You don’t know! My disciple learned many Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques from a mysterious person. So cultivation secrets he previously explained to benefited greatly, improving my strength considerably. Those girl disciples might have advanced after listening to his Martial Dao explanations!"
"Indeed. Otherwise, how could things be so coincidental?"
...
Sensing that the twenty-one disciples within Myriad Flowers Tower had advanced, the senior mbers of Flower Pavilion outside were overjoyed.
Although those disciples’ advancents were not enough to turn the tide, it certainly increased their hope for escape and survival.
