Chapter 186: A Major Move, Attack White Emperor City!

Ancestor Mo Yang frowned deeply, shaking his head. "Your situation... I have never seen anything like it."

"Ancestor Yunyi is widely experienced and should know something. Unfortunately, he is not within the sect right now."

"However, you can go to the Library Pavilion. It holds the cultivation insights of the Heavenly Blade Sect's past sages. I imagine it will be of some help to you."

You nodded, then bade farewell to Ancestor Mo Yang and headed to the Library Pavilion to try your luck.

You arrived at the Library Pavilion and began reading carefully.

You compared your own cultivation path against the cultivation insights of the Heavenly Blade Sect's past sages, one by one.

You discovered that, starting from the Golden Core stage, you were already somewhat different from them.

The Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages were even more so. Now that you had reached the Return-to-Void realm, the difference was like heaven and earth.

It seems that sometimes, being different is a kind of trouble too. You felt a touch of emotion.

You read through every cultivation insight in the entire Treasure Pavilion. Though you still could not find a solution, a faint thread of an idea was stirring in your heart.

Just as you were pondering the path to a breakthrough, a token within your storage ring buzzed.

You opened it. Princess Anle was sending a voice transmission!

After returning to your cave residence, you quickly took out the token, and Princess Anle's Spirit Transformation projection appeared once more.

"Sect Master Ye, how have you been lately?"

"All is well." Ever since the Cloud Stream Sect was annihilated, the Wilderness Clan cultivators had gone into hiding and had not stirred again.

"That's good. It just so happens that the time has come for your Heavenly Blade Sect to take action!" Princess Anle said with a smile.

"What does This Sect Master need to do?" you asked, betraying no emotion.

"No rush. The time has not yet come. Sect Master Ye, make preparations first. When the operation begins, This Empress will inform you of all the details."

"Prepare what?"

"Gather all cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage and above from the entire sect and await the next step!"

"Sect Master Ye, rest assured. For your Heavenly Blade Sect, this is a great fated opportunity!"

"A fated opportunity great enough to let the Heavenly Blade Sect rise again!"

Princess Anle's figure vanished. You pondered for a moment, then summoned Ancestor Mo Yang and the others to discuss countermeasures together.

"Gather the full strength of the sect? This is going to be a major operation!" Ancestor Kongling's face showed worry.

"Something that can let our Heavenly Blade Sect rise again? It seems they intend to move against another faction. I just wonder who the unlucky one will be."

"What if it's a trap? Gathering all our Heavenly Blade Sect disciples so they can wipe us out in one net!" one Ancestor worried.

"Anything is possible!" Ancestor Mo Yang said with emotion.

"I just asked the Sect Masters of the Turtle Breath Sect and the Seven Colors Sect. They also received missions from the imperial family, but what exactly, they did not say in detail."

You looked toward Ancestor Mo Yang and asked, "Can you contact Ancestor Yunyi?"

Ancestor Mo Yang slowly shook his head. "I cannot. Every message I sent to the Ancestor has vanished without a trace."

"It seems we can only make the decision ourselves!" you said in a deep voice.

You discussed at length with the various Ancestors, and ultimately decided to agree for now and keep the imperial family at ease.

As for whether to actually participate later, that would depend on the situation.

You left the matter of gathering all the sect's disciples to the various Ancestors, while you yourself seized the time to cultivate.

Although you still could not break through to the Fusion realm, that did not stop you from continuing to comprehend the Power of Law.

The Dao of Law had no end, but people did.

Half a year later, as you were comprehending the Power of Law, you once again sensed Princess Anle's voice transmission.

"Sect Master Ye, the operation is in three days!"

"Your Heavenly Blade Sect is to eliminate the Bai family! My people are already on the way. They will lend you a hand when the time comes!"

"After the Bai family is taken down, my imperial family will take only thirty percent of all their forces and resources!"

"The Bai family, one of the Eight Great Clans?" you asked.

"Correct. Their territory is very close to your Heavenly Blade Sect."

"Understood!" You fell silent for a moment, then finally agreed.

"Good luck!"

Three days later, you led the Heavenly Blade Sect disciples of the Nascent Soul stage and above in a mighty procession toward the city where the Bai family resided!

To ensure victory in this battle, you deliberately dug out from the Forbidden Grounds yet another long-slumbering Tribulation Transcendence stage Ancestor!

"Stay by my side in this battle. Watch your safety!" Ancestor Mo Yang said to you.

"You are the Sect Master now. You cannot die!"

"Rest assured. I dare not boast of much, but when it comes to preserving my life, I have some skill," you said with considerable confidence. With a divine ability like Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, you could swiftly withdraw from the battlefield.

Combined with the Concealment Jade Talisman, as long as a Great Vehicle stage powerhouse did not act, your safety was not a problem.

Outside White Emperor City, you led over ten thousand cultivators in sword flight, standing in the air.

"Heavenly Blade Sect, what is the meaning of this?" A figure shot into the sky, unafraid even as the Heavenly Blade Sect's army pressed down upon them.

"This man is the current Patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Wuqu, at late-stage Fusion realm cultivation." Mo Yang introduced him to you.

"Patriarch Bai, my Heavenly Blade Sect was passing by, and came specially to beg a cup of tea!"

"Heh!" Bai Wuqu laughed, then without another word activated the Clan-Protecting Grand Formation!

"An eighth-rank formation. This will be troublesome." Ancestor Kongling murmured to himself.

"Sect Master Ye! Leave this formation to us!" A voice came from behind you.

You turned to look. Only about a thousand people had come, but in the crowd you saw someone unexpected: your nominal Master, the Eighth-Rank Formation Master, Ancestor Xuanming!

"General Li, I never imagined you were still alive." Mo Yang greeted him with a chuckle, clearly acquainted with the man.

"Heh. If you haven't died, how could I leave first?" General Li said with disdain, then brought Ancestor Xuanming forward.

"This man is the Core Disciple of the Eighth-Rank Formation Master, Ancestor Xuanming. This formation shall be left to you."

"Mm. My Master has already passed the method to break the formation to me." Ancestor Xuanming's Core Disciple nodded, glanced at you deliberately, then began attempting to break the formation.

"Ancestor, how strong is this man?" You glanced at General Li and sent a voice transmission to Ancestor Mo Yang.

"A thousand years ago, he was my defeated subordinate. Insignificant!" Ancestor Mo Yang said with great conceit.

You nodded and said no more.

Three days later, the Bai family's eighth-rank Sect-Protecting Grand Formation collapsed with a thunderous crash!

"Kill your way into the Bai family! Leave not a single one alive!!!"

Several figures shot into the sky. They were the various Fusion realm cultivators. Their destructive power was too great; they could only fight in the void.
