And just one day after Ye Xiu left, the Tianqiong Cult sent people over again.
This time, this person's cultivation was very high. The reason he came here was not to continue convincing Ling Zhen to submit to their Tianqiong Cult, but to look for the whereabouts of the person before him.
Of course, Ling Zhen would never admit to that. However, he knew in his heart that even if he did not admit it, if that person could not be found, the responsibility would definitely fall on them.
As a result, with Long Yazi's help, this Tianqiong Cult man was killed by the two of them.
To Ling Zhen, since he had already killed one person, he was not afraid of killing another. In any case, regarding the matter of submitting to the Tianqiong Cult, he would definitely not do anything.
The day after Ling Zhen killed another person, his Tianqiong Cult sent several experts over, of which a few were people he knew.
That's right, since the Tianqiong Cult had already forced many sects to submit, then they had to fight now.
Of course, even if they knew each other, so what? Since they had come to the Five Elements' Sect with an order from the Tianqiong Cult, then they were the enemies of the Five Elements' Sect.
Just like this, a huge battle was unavoidable, and in the midst of it, the Twelve Guardian Formation that Ye Xiu had set up, was naturally activated.
With the protection of this Profound Array, the disciples of Five Elements' Sect would naturally be safe for the time being.
The reason why it was said to be temporary was because no one knew when the Profound Array Ye Xiu had set up would be breached, or when the Profound Power would run out and disappear.
Once this Profound Array was broken, then the casualties of the Five Elements' Sect would definitely be unpredictable.
It was possible that the entire Five Elements' Sect would be completely exterminated by the Tianqiong Cult.
And just when the Five Elements' Sect was in a difficult situation, Ye Xiu was still unaware of it, and only continued to advance towards the Profound Sky Sect.
Although he had the guidance of the map, if he walked along the way, he would inevitably meet a few Profound Beast.
With regards to Profound Beast, who weren't strong enough, Ye Xiu naturally ignored them. But if he met a strong Profound Beast, his hands would feel itchy too.
In Ye Xiu's opinion, even if he went to call for reinforcements, his Five Elements' Sect would not be attacked so quickly. After all, if the sects were to fight with the sects, there would definitely be a lot of casualties, no matter which side he is on.
Therefore, unless there was a reason to fight, they would not fight in real life under normal circumstances.
However, Ye Xiu would never have thought that Tianqiong Cult was such an unreasonable person, and he was even less clear on the fact that Ling Zhen and Long Yazi would work together to directly kill the other person from the Tianqiong Cult.
Of course, if Ye Xiu hadn't taken this step first, then perhaps Ling Zhen would choose to surrender temporarily for the sake of Five Elements' Sect's safety.
But since they had already offended the Tianqiong Cult, then even if Ling Zhen gave in and chose to submit, the result would probably be a complete wipeout.
And it was also because of this that Ling Zhen didn't stop once and twice, and directly left the second Profound Void Stage Ranker to investigate the situation.
"It looks like it won't be long before I can reach the Profound Void Stage Realm."
When Ye Xiu successfully killed a Profound Beast under his own Heaven Sword, he felt his own situation and revealed a look of anticipation.
Profound Void Stage was originally an unattainable realm for Ye Xiu.
But now, this unreachable cultivation base was so close to him that he was only a step away from reaching it.
Of course, for others, this step would mean that they would be unable to take it in their entire lives, but for Ye Xiu, this step wasn't difficult at all.
As long as he cultivated properly for a few more days, when the Profound Power in his body reaches a certain level, his cultivation would naturally break through.
Of course, this was not a requirement to allow one's cultivation to reach the Profound Void Stage realm before reaching that level.
Because, even with Ye Xiu's current cultivation, his cultivation was no weaker than any one of the Peak Profound Void Stage s under the might of the four sects.
Even if they were to use all their strength to cooperate with the Eight Sword Technique and the supreme treasure, a strong Profound Mansion Stage cultivator would still have the strength to fight.
Of course, if Ye Xiu wanted to face the Profound Mansion Stage Expert head on and not lose, that would have to wait until he truly reached the Profound Void Stage.
Just like that, another two days had passed, and Ye Xiu had already arrived near the Profound Sky Sect according to the instructions on the map.
However, at the same time, his Five Elements' Sect was also in danger.
The Tianqiong Cult itself was already very strong, and with the help of several other sects, it naturally became even stronger.
As a result, even if Ye Xiu's Twelve Guardian Formation was very strong, after persisting in this series of attacks for more than two days, the entire Profound Array was already in a precarious situation.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. Because of me, everyone has fallen into dire straits. I apologize to everyone here." Ling Zhen looked at the Profound Array on the verge of breaking down, and apologized to everyone.
As for the disciples of the Five Elements' Sect, even if some of them joined too early, at this time, their faces were ugly, and no one revealed any signs of regret.
No matter what, they were the ones who wanted to join Five Elements' Sect back then, so even if there was a problem with their Five Elements' Sect, they had still chosen to join it.
"Sect Master, we cannot sit still and wait for death, if not, we can just kill our way out, I do not believe that we cannot teach those fellows a lesson with our Five Elements' Sect."
"That's right, Sect Leader, let's kill our way out. Even if they want to destroy our Five Elements' Sect, we can't let them off easy. Otherwise, do they really think our Five Elements' Sect is easy to be bullied?"
"?"
Following discussion after discussion, Ling Zhen's eyes became moist.
He knew that he had harmed the people in front of him, but at this point, there was no room for retreat.
"Ye Xiu, I hope that you will one day become strong and continue to shine with your Five Elements' Sect. After all, it was deemed successful because of your relationship, and even if I were to die, I cannot let my Five Elements' Sect disappear from this continent." Ling Zhen muttered as he raised his head to look at the blue sky.
"Elder Long, if possible, you should leave as soon as possible after leaving this place. I think you're the only one with the ability to escape." Ling Zhen reminded.
"Sect Head, you ?" Hearing that, Long Yazi frowned.
"As the sect master, naturally, I cannot live and die by myself, so I must live and die with the Five Elements' Sect, but Elder Ye, you are only a guest elder, moreover, if one more person lives, in the future, Ye Xiu will have one more helper. As long as I can recreate the Five Elements' Sect, I will die with no regrets." Ling Zhen said.
If the glory and destruction of Five Elements' Sect were fated by the heavens, then none of these could change.
No matter what was said, Ling Zhen at least had fulfilled his wish of having the Five Elements Sect call the sect the Five Elements' Sect, so even if he died, he would be worthy of the Five Elements' Sect's ancestors.
If you don't want to leave, then as an elder, I naturally have no reason to leave. Moreover, this old man is already an old man, if I can quickly fight to my death, then there's no regrets. Long Yazi said angrily.
While speaking, Long Yazi rushed out of the Twelve Guardian Formation without hesitation.
The Profound Array that Ye Xiu had set up was a defensive Profound Array, so it would not stop the people inside from leaving, thus Long Yazi was able to easily fly out of the Five Elements' Sect.
"Me too!"
Seeing that, Ling Zhen also rushed out of the battle without hesitation.
"And us!"
After Ling Zhen, Xie Shan, the rest of the Five Elements' Sect elders and the experts who had reached the Profound Sea Stage rushed out one after another.
Even if they were facing strong enemies, as members of the Five Elements' Sect, they naturally could not retreat one bit. Otherwise, how would others view their Five Elements' Sect.
Therefore, in order to protect Five Elements' Sect, they would not refuse even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
Thus, with Ling Zhen and Long Yazi included, twelve figures stood in a straight line in front of the Tianqiong Cult experts.
As for Ling Zhen and his group, the look in their eyes was the same. They had already completely disregarded life and death, because they knew, against so many Tianqiong Cult experts, it was impossible for them to survive this battle.
"Everyone, listen to my orders, whoever dares to take a step closer to the Five Elements' Sect will be killed without question." Ling Zhen bellowed.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
When the other eleven people heard this, they naturally let out their loudest voices.
Of course, a loud voice couldn't scare away the enemy, but it could help them strengthen their courage.
"Buzz buzz!"
However, just as the battle was about to begin, a Light Buzz sounded out.
When Ling Zhen and the rest who were originally prepared to take action heard the sound of movement from behind them, they couldn't help but turn around to take a look.
They couldn't see it clearly, but when they saw it, they were shocked.
The Profound Array that was originally on the verge of shattering suddenly became stronger, as if the energy that had been depleted was restored in an instant.
"Zhizhi!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Baa baa!"
"?"
At the same time, following a flash of light from the Profound Array, afterimages rushed out one after another from the Profound Array.
"What are these!"
When Ling Zhen and the others saw these Profound Beast that originally belonged to the Profound Array just come out like this, their eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
They were shocked because this scene was truly unimaginable, and if they did not understand what was going on, then why did these Profound Beast run out of the Profound Array?
"Hmm?"
Just as these Profound Beast ran out of the array, Ye Xiu who was far away from the Profound Sky Sect suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In the next second, he turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction he had come from with a serious expression.
"Twelve Guardian Spirit Transformations!"
Ye Xiu frowned and said a few words, but he was extremely clear about the meaning of these words.
