He suddenly looked up, gazing towards the sect headquarters located deep in the Scarlet Blood Plains, which was shrouded in dense demonic energy all year round, and a terrifying glimmer of hope once again ignited in his eyes.
“Master Yes! Master is still there! Master is almighty and definitely able to subdue that little David beast! I must immediately report to Master and ask him to come out of seclusion to take revenge for my Ten Thousand Soul Demon Sect!”
Soul Fiend muttered to himself, then roared hoarsely to the few trusted elders remaining beside him, “Speed up! Return to the sect! Return to the sect immediately!”
……
Inside the mountain gate of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.
The joy of surviving the disaster was closely linked to the terrible impact of the great war.
With tears in their eyes, the disciples began collecting the bodies of their comrades, cleaning up the battlefield, and repairing damaged buildings and formations.
Although the sect was saved, the price paid was very heavy. More than a third of the students died, and many familiar faces were never seen again.
On the plaza in front of the main hall, Ling Yunzi stood with difficulty, helped by several elders.
He was seriously injured and weak, but his eyes were filled with joy and gratitude as he stared at the green-robed figure before him.
“Brother Daoist Chen no, Senior Chen!” Ling Yunzi pushed the person he was helping up, bowing deeply to the ground, his voice choked with emotion, “If not for Senior’s divine intervention today, which changed the circumstances, my Xuantian Sword Sect’s ten thousand year old foundation would probably have been destroyed in an instant!”
“Senior, we will never forget your generosity in saving lives and your benevolence in protecting our sect! Please accept our respects!”
After he finished speaking, all the Sword Sect elders and disciples behind him who were still able to move bowed and knelt solemnly before David, creating a solemn and awe-inspiring scene.
David raised his arms to support them, and a gentle but irresistible force lifted everyone up.
“Sect Leader Ling, there’s no need for such formalities. I have a relationship with Miss Ling and the Sword Sect, so it’s only right that I provide assistance.”
He spoke calmly, without taking credit.
Ling Yunzi straightened up, his face still filled with excitement, then a glimmer of worry appeared in his eyes: “Senior, my daughter Ling Shuang she went to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect with you, I wonder how she is now.”
“Miss Ling is safe and sound, and is recovering her injuries in the secret realm. She should have recovered most of her strength by now.”
David answered honestly, “He is worried about the safety of the sect and must be very anxious right now. I will go back and tell them.”
Upon hearing that, Ling Yunzi heaved a sigh of relief and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: “Thank you very much for taking care of my daughter, Senior! I am very grateful and will do my best to help you in the future!”
David nodded slightly and said no more.
His gaze swept across the heavily injured and imprisoned Zheng Gu, who was under the watchful eye of the Sword Sect disciples, and he said to Ling Yunzi, “This person is a traitor to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, one of the main perpetrators. I need to bring him back and hand him over to the Lord of the Sky Rift Sect for punishment.”
“Please take it, senior! If the Thousand Beast Sect needs help, my Xuantian Sword Sect can still put up a fight,” said Ling Yunzi.
Without further delay, David rolled up his sleeves, and a gentle force enveloped the dying Zheng Gu. Then, his figure turned into a chaotic stream of light and shot towards the direction of Li Huo’s Secret Realm, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
Gazing in the direction David had left, Ling Yunzi and the other high-ranking members of the Sword Sect fell silent for a long time, their eyes filled with admiration and emotion.
“This child is truly a divine being!” muttered a white-haired elder.
“After this battle, the structure of the Ten Heavens will likely be completely rewritten” said another elder with a complicated expression.
Ling Yunzi took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice: “Convey the order to make every effort to repair the big formation, treat the wounded, and count the losses.”
“In addition, send someone to make a golden statue. I want to make a golden statue for Senior Chen so that the disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect will worship him forever!”
