Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: Timely

  Luoyu and Hongmi were close together, transmitting spiritual light to form a piece. It looked like it was just slightly larger than a single spiritual light. Before it even landed, Hongmi had already jumped into Luoyu's sleeve, without anyone noticing. And the jade box she took down was naturally confiscated by Luoyu as well.

  As for the female lead Huang Luoxue, I don't know how she operated, but compared to Luo Yu's actions, hers were even more covert and wouldn't have been noticed by anyone.

  Seeing Song Ning and the three others appear, the Tianxuan Sect cultivators led by Zi Ye were overjoyed, and together with Le Ying and Li Yuncong, they all stepped forward to welcome them.

  "Big Brother——" Ruan Mingyan took a step ahead, rushing to Song Ning's side, with misty eyes: "Big Brother, I've finally waited for you! Didn't you see, those people just now were all looking at us with ill intentions. If you had been late by even a moment, who knows what would have happened!"

  It turned out that the cultivators of various sects, under Xue Niang's persuasion, formed a temporary alliance, making an oath that before leaving Tongtian Tower, they would share opportunities and not kill each other, jointly resisting the pressure from Tianxuan Sect. However, they all knew that once they left Tongtian Tower, this oath would be immediately lifted, and their struggle with each other would become even more bloody.

  The oath had been made for a good while, but no one from the Tian Xuan Sect came up. They began to suspect whether there were two transmission locations. Suddenly, several streams of spiritual light flashed by, and six figures appeared. However, Song Ning and Huang Luo Xue, who had the highest cultivation levels, did not appear.

  Among the people who appeared, there was a mid-term cultivator of the foundation-building period. A fellow cultivator who had chatted with him confirmed that he was a loose cultivator and had nothing to do with the Tianxuan Sect. Although it is not known why he mixed with the people of the Tianxuan Sect at this time, it is unlikely that he will be completely in harmony with the Tianxuan Sect.

  As for Le Ying in the later stages of Qi practice, he was completely ignored by others. Humph, a late-stage Qi practitioner, what's the use of that?

  After a while, Song Ning still didn't show up, and the eyes of the cultivators began to move. Their original plan was passive defense, but if Song Ning never appeared, could they take the initiative to attack? Even if Song Ning showed up afterwards, they could use their trump card to get rid of him!

  Apart from being the chief disciple of Tian Xuan Sect, this is absolutely a delightful thing for all sects. And they will also secretly receive generous rewards, and then just clean up the beginning and end.

  The cultivators of Tianxuan Sect saw the flashing eyes and strange expressions of the cultivators opposite them, how could they not understand that their situation was precarious?

  Zi Xuan remembered what his senior brother had said: If they were transported to one place, then gather together and wait; if they were scattered in different places, then each would have their own destiny.

  Zi Xi first took the treasure and transmitted it to the large hall on the second floor. After counting his breath, he saw Li Yuncong, Hou Yong, Sun Daniu, Ruan Mingyan, and Le Ying appear in the hall one after another. Everyone was delighted to gather together, chatting while waiting for Song Ning and the others. Unexpectedly, they didn't wait for Song Ning and the others to appear, but instead waited for the unfavorable glances of the cultivators from various sects.

  Zi Yun thought to himself: The other side has fourteen people. Our sect has four people, all of whom are in the early stages of foundation building. Li Yuncong is in the middle stage of foundation building, but he's just an acquaintance, how can we expect him to help us? If he can remain neutral, that's already a great virtue. Where are Big Brother and Little Sister? Have they encountered something or been transported elsewhere? What should we do now...

  "Zi Ye brothers, I think we can't count on Big Brother Master anymore, we have to think of a way quickly!" Sun Da Niu whispered into his ear.

  Hou Yong's eyes were firm, and Zhong Zixun nodded slightly. Ruan Mingyan's eyes showed a hint of fear as she stared tightly at Zixun, apparently they all defaulted to Zixun as the temporary leader, waiting for him to make a decision.

  "In that case, everyone should be on their guard. When the fight starts later, we must try to drag out the time as much as possible. I believe Master and the others will definitely appear. Once the battle begins, Sun Shidi, you take care of the front, Hou Shidi, you take care of the left flank, I'll take care of the right flank, Le Shizhong, you stay in the middle, Ruan Shimiao, you take care of the rear."

  "Huang Shixiong, I...I" Ruan Meiyen was so frightened that she couldn't speak, with so many enemies, could she survive?

  "Ruǎn Shī Mèi, the rear wing is the safest place except for the central position. If you want to survive, you must go all out." Zi Yì's voice became stern.

  "Gentlemen, it seems you have forgotten to arrange a seat for me." A faint voice entered the ears of the Tianxuan Sect disciples.

  "Can I trust you?" Zi Ye stared tightly at Li Yuncong, with a profound gaze.

  Li Yuncong raised the corner of his left mouth, smiled slightly, and a hint of elegance appeared on his ordinary face: "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in your Eldest Senior Brother's judgment."

  After a moment of contemplation, Zi Xuan nodded slightly and immediately adjusted the battle plan.

  All disciples of various sects unified their thoughts, even if there were differing opinions, they were forced by the trend and reluctantly agreed.

  As for Ke Zhengdong, he didn't agree with this in his heart, and at this time and place, getting rid of the Tianxuan Sect's disciple wouldn't be as smooth as they thought. He felt that Song Ning wasn't so simple, but did he have a chance to express his dissenting opinion?

  Of course not! Because at this moment he is considered half a captive, and being pushed to the forefront as the leader, will lead the thirteen disciples of various sects to attack Tianxuan Sect.

  But the actual leader was someone else, and the eyes of the disciples of various sects occasionally swept over the elegant female cultivator in the crowd. Ke Zhengdong's heart was filled with resentment, and at this moment, his hatred for this woman even surpassed Song Ning.

  Zi Ye had also made arrangements, the Tianxuan Sect cultivators and Li Yuncong each turned their backs to each other, took out their magic treasures, but did not launch a preemptive attack. They were waiting, waiting for the other side to make the first move, and even more so, they were waiting for Song Ning and his two companions to appear.

  The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense, just like a tightly drawn bowstring, ready to be triggered at any moment.

  Sweat began to appear on Zi Ye's forehead, and the beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, pattering onto the ground.

  The distance between them was only about 500 meters. Zi Xi noticed that the spiritual energy on Ke Zhengdong's body began to fluctuate, and he was about to launch an attack on them. Suddenly...

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

  A flash of light flickered, revealing three figures. This scene was as if time had been given a pause symbol, and everyone's movements came to a standstill.

  Ke Zhengdong only felt that the heavens were playing a huge joke on him, just as he saw hope, they poured an entire pool of ice water on him, chilling to the bone! Fortunately, he had been delaying time before, and after preparing to go all out to destroy the Tianxuan Sect disciples, time was already running out. If not, he would have died without a place to bury his body at this moment.

  In the blink of an eye, he blended into the crowd, unnoticeable. He saw the Tian Xuan Sect disciples overjoyed and quickly welcoming Song Ning and his two companions. He saw that one female cultivator in Song Ning's accusation of their conspiracy, his heart suddenly rose up.
