He Fangwei shook his head, “Daoist Han, you’ve been in seclusion for quite some time.”

“Something major happened in the sect.”

Hearing this, Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

“A year and a half ago, Heavenly Soul Sect suddenly launched an attack on our Xuandan Sect. Did you know that?”

Han Yi nodded, and He Fangwei continued to explain.

“After that, the Heavenly Soul Sect directly entered Taibai County, intending to occupy all our remaining properties in Taibai County. Fortunately, our sect reacted in time and had a contingency plan, selling all the properties in Taibai County to the Daqian government, leaving the Heavenly Soul Sect without any means.”

“Then, the Heavenly Soul Sect intruded into Nanyang County, but was met with the joint resistance of our sect and the Yuan Beast Sect.”

“By now, it’s a full-scale war.”

“The reason why Combat Peak is so deserted is because more than 80% of our sect’s cultivators, whether from Inner Peak or Outer Peak, have followed the sect’s orders and descended the mountain to join the battlefield.”

“However, the battle is brutal.”

He Fangwei obviously knew some inside information, and his heart was heavy as he spoke truthfully.

“How brutal is it?” Han Yi naturally wouldn’t be satisfied with just a surface-level explanation and wanted the full story.

Over the years, the two have become friends.

He Fangwei sighed, “There have been many deaths.”

“The disciples of Heavenly Soul Sect are proficient in Divine Soul Secret Skills, giving them the upper hand in battles.”

“And for some reason, the Yuan Beast Sect, which originally had a deep relationship with our sect and formed an alliance, has quietly withdrawn half of its support for Nanyang County in the past six months. The remaining half do not put any real effort.”

“This has put our sect in an even more difficult situation.”

Han Yi thought of something and asked, “Right, the twenty-year deadline has arrived. Has there been any abnormalities with the Blood God Sect?”

He Fangwei nodded, his tone even heavier, “The twenty-year deadline has arrived, but our sect can’t even get past the border of Taibai County. The flames of war have even spread to Nanyang County. The promise to return the mining resources to our sect twenty years ago is nothing but a mirage.”

“Moreover, it was found within the sect.”

“Behind the invasion of the Heavenly Soul Sect, there is the shadow of the Blood God Sect. Our sect’s disciples often encounter Blood God Sect disciples disguised as Robbing cultivators after they enter the battlefield.”

“This is also a major reason for the demise of our cultivators.”

As He Fangwei spoke, his tone became even heavier.

“Also, a year ago, Supreme Elder Mu Jianxu was ambushed by the Heavenly Soul Sect’s leader and two mysterious Golden Core Stage Cultivators at the border between Taibai County and Nanyang County. Mu Jianxu killed one Golden Core Stage Cultivator and escaped with severe injuries. He was in closed-door meditation, and his life or death is unknown.”

“Three months ago, Supreme Elder Jiang Zhan was attacked and killed in a battlefield. He self-detonated and died, dragging a Gold Core cultivator down with him.”

“Including Supreme Elder Su Changkong’s death at the hands of the Heavenly Soul Sect a year and a half ago, our sect’s original nine Golden Core Stage cultivators now only have six left.”

“On top of that, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders have fallen, and more than a dozen cultivators who had originally signed agreements with Xuandan Sect to become consulting Elders have unilaterally withdrawn from the agreements. These fence-sitters think that by withdrawing, they can escape unscathed, but in the end, no matter who wins, they all have to die.”

He Fangwei sneered at this point.

Han Yi remained silent, digesting He Fangwei’s words. There was so much information in what he said, especially the first sentence.

Mu Jianxu was a Supreme Elder of the sect, and also the cultivator who had broken through to the Golden Core Stage using the Dan Sword Skill. In terms of strength, he was second only to Yuan Shun in the sect, making him the second most powerful cultivator. Even he was ambushed, severely injured, and on the verge of dying. This shows how dire the situation has become.

As for Jiang Zhan, he was another Supreme Elder, who also died in battle. As it stands, two Golden Core Stage cultivators from Xuandan Sect have already died at the hands of the Heavenly Soul Sect.

The grudge between Xuandan Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect runs even deeper than that with the Blood God Sect.

What could be the reason for the Heavenly Soul Sect to sacrifice so much, and be so desperate to destroy Xuandan Sect?

Han Yi simply couldn’t figure it out.

This sect, which originally had no grievances with Xuandan Sect and was located far away, had Xuandan Sect in the north of Shu State and Heavenly Soul Sect in the southwest of Shu State, with several other sects in between.

Going out of their way to target Xuandan Sect was truly puzzling.

These questions flashed through Han Yi’s mind, but he quickly dismissed them, as it was already meaningless to think about them now.

He organized his thoughts, only to hear He Fangwei continue:

“However, after Elder Mu Jianxu’s rampage, Elder Jiang Zhan’s death, and the fierce battles involving numerous Foundation Establishment Elders and Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, the Heavenly Soul Sect and the secretly involved Blood God Sect have suffered heavy losses.”

“In the past month, the battle lines have stabilized, and the mo sides are deadlocked. The pressure on our cultivators has lessened since the beginning.”

Han Yi said solemnly, “We cannot be complacent.”

He Fangwei nodded, “Of course, after so many years, our Xuandan Sect has endured so many hardships, and it’s no longer the Xuandan Sect from decades ago.”

“To destroy our sect, they’ll have to be prepared to die and head to the Yellow Springs Ghost World.”

He Fangwei’s face was filled with murderous intent.

This was the first time Han Yi had seen He Fangwei display such killing intent. This elderly Qi Cultivation Stage 9 cultivator, before taking on the role of the Nine Dragons Shopkeeper, was not a weak person.

Han Yi fell silent again, and his silence was because he saw an emotion from He Fangwei, an emotion shared by others in the sect but rarely experienced by himself..
