After learning all this, Bu Xiaotian fell into a long silence.
Regret and guilt flooded his mind.
If he could have come back one day earlier, with his cultivation at this time, even if he is still no match for Duan Jiuzhou, which has integrated the power of ancient Shura, but coupled with the masters of Yuxu Sect, maybe the master and the master would not have to sacrifice their lives. Go gamble on that slim chance of survival...
If he came back a day earlier, maybe...
It's a pity that there are not so many ifs, what has happened can never be changed!
This is the rule of the great road that Bu Xiaotian realized in Kunlun Mountain.
Others in the hall listened to Xiang Yunwen recounting all this again. No one interrupted, and everyone fell silent.
At this time, there was no joy in their hearts that the enemy had retreated, and the previous tension, fatigue, and the forcibly suppressed sadness gradually surfaced.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heavy.
Just when everyone thought that this atmosphere would continue, a cold voice broke the silence:
"Duan Jiuzhou is still alive, we should repair the formation immediately to prevent the Holy Spirit Mountain from coming back!"
The tone was cold and without any emotion, as if he had no feelings for the elders and disciples who died in the previous battle.
Hearing this voice, everyone in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads and look towards the corner where the voice came from.
I saw Lan Yunxin, dressed in white as snow, with a calm face, as if he was an outsider, and did not react at all to everyone's gaze.
Bu Xiaotian looked at Lan Yunxin's indifferent look as if he had lost all emotion, and couldn't help but think of the suspicion in his heart before, and called out:
"Senior Sister Yun Xin!"
Lan Yunxin seemed not to hear Bu Xiaotian's voice, and said to herself:
"Senior Sister died in battle. Master has previously passed on the position of Peak Master of Yuzhu Peak to me. I will return to the peak to repair the Yuzhu Peak formation first."
After speaking, he left the hall without caring about the reactions of the people present.
As soon as Lan Yunxin left, several other people from Yuzhu Peak in the main hall hugged their fists apologetically and followed suit.
When Miao Yunzhu passed by Bu Xiaotian, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but call her:
"Senior Sister Yunzhu, Senior Sister Yunxin, she..."
When the words came to his lips, Bu Xiaotian didn't know how to speak.
When Miao Yunzhu heard Bu Xiaotian's words, he paused slightly and said softly:
"Junior sister Yun Xin has been in seclusion since she came back from Kunlun. She was not released from seclusion until a month ago. When she came out, her cultivation level was no less than that of Master. Since then, she has been like this. I don't know what happened. .”
At the end, Miao Yunzhu sighed softly and quickly left the hall.
"I didn't expect Junior Sister Lan to be so ruthless..."
After everyone from Yuzhu Peak left, someone in the palace couldn't help but complain.
Others looked more or less unhappy.
Although they all know that Lan Yunxin is right, people are always emotional. When everyone is feeling sad for the deceased elders of the same sect, they suddenly find such a cold person, and it is inevitable to feel a little resentful in their hearts.
Li Yungui seemed to know something, but he didn't say much. He just calmed down the expression on his face and said:
"Junior sister Lan is right, now is not the time to be sad, we should be prepared to be prepared for the coming of Jiuzhou.
"Okay, everyone, please go back. The top priority is to gather disciples from all peaks to repair the mountain protection formation."
Although Li Yungui has not officially succeeded to the throne and announced to the entire Yuxu Sect, everyone present knows that he is the successor chosen by Master Xuanyun before his death, and they naturally obey his words.
After everyone left, Li Yungui's expression relaxed, exhaustion and worry appeared on his face, and he murmured:
"Master, now that ancient gods and demons have appeared in the world, where should our Yuxu Sect go?"
Li Yungui's voice disappeared into the hall without any response.
After a long time, Li Yungui calmed down the expression on his face again and walked out of the hall.
The damage to Wuji Peak is equally serious, and now is not the time to worry about the future.
The disciples of the Yuxu Sect who had just experienced the battle had no time to repair themselves, so they devoted themselves intensively to repairing the mountain-protecting formation.
For three whole days, light flashed from time to time on the five main peaks of Yuxu Sect. It was the disciples repairing the various formations.
Three days later, the seventeenth generation peak masters of each peak and the people with the highest cultivation levels gathered at Wuji Peak again.
This time they were not in the main hall, but gathered around a deep pit in front of the hall, their expressions a little solemn.
"Senior Brother Yungui, are you saying that no one can pick up the Demon-Slaying Sword now, not even you?"
Yun Can, the new peak master of Chiling Peak, looked up at Li Yungui and asked.
Li Yungui nodded and said:
"That's right, since the Demon-Slaying Sword was struck here by Jiuzhou three days ago, there has been a mysterious power permeating this place. I have tried several times, but I can't even touch the Demon-Slaying Sword!"
Yun Lie, the new peak master of Wuyin Peak, frowned and said:
"I have searched the entire Hidden Mist Peak for the past three days but could not find the Dark Water Sword. I wonder if you have found the other four swords?"
Others shook their heads and said that they also failed to find the other four divine swords.
Xiang Yunwen opened his mouth and said:
"This is troublesome. In the past three days, we have completely repaired the various bases of the mountain-protecting formation. We only need the five swords Xuanyuan, Zilei, Chiling, Mingshui, and Yinzhu to activate the Five Peaks Profound Gate to restart the mountain-protecting formation.
"Now that the Five Swords are missing, they must have not been separated in the Demon-Slaying Sword. If we cannot get the Demon-Slaying Sword, we will not be able to retrieve the Five Swords. Without the mountain-protecting formation, we will be lacking in the face of the sneak attack by the demon sect. The most important means of protection.”
After hearing Xiang Yunwen's words, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Even though they had deduced that all five swords were among the Demon-Slaying Swords, no one easily tried to pick up the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Most of their cultivation levels are on the same level as Li Yungui. If Li Yungui can't even come into contact with the Demon-Slaying Sword, they will probably have the same result even if they try reluctantly, but they will only be embarrassed in front of their fellow disciples.
Just when everyone was hesitant, Lan Yunxin suddenly said:
"Let me try."
With that said, he jumped into the pit, bent down and stretched out his hand towards the Demon-Slaying Sword.
However, her hand was blocked by an invisible force one foot away from the Demon-Slaying Sword. Even if she used her whole body's cultivation, she could only advance half a foot. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward even one point.
After a long time, Lan Yunxin finally gave up, jumped out of the pit, shook his head at everyone, and said:
"No, my cultivation is not enough."
When he saw Lan Yunxin directly extending his hand a foot away from the Demon-Slaying Sword and getting closer to the Demon-Slaying Sword, Li Yungui's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by a burst of joy.
Others have not tried it and cannot truly appreciate how powerful the blocking force is.
He had tried to pick up the Demon-Slaying Sword several times in the past three days, but was blocked two feet away and could no longer move forward.
Lan Yunxin can stretch her hand within one foot of the Demon-Slaying Sword, which means that her cultivation level has surpassed her own!
Just when Li Yungui thought that Lan Yunxin could successfully pick up the Demon-Slaying Sword, he saw that Lan Yunxin also failed, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
At this time, hearing Lan Yunxin say that his cultivation level was not enough, Li Yungui immediately turned his attention to Bu Xiaotian on the other side of the pit.
If we say that among the people here, the one with the deepest cultivation level, apart from Lan Yunxin, there is only Bu Xiaotian who can stop Duan Jiuzhou with just one incarnation.
"Junior brother Yuntian, why don't you give it a try?"
Although they were asking, looking at Li Yungui's appearance, Bu Xiaotian was their last hope to retrieve the Demon-Slaying Sword at this moment.
Bu Xiaotian didn't say much, nodded, jumped down into the pit, and stretched out his hand towards the Demon-Slaying Sword just like Lan Yunxin did before.
As Bu Xiaotian jumped into the pit, everyone on the side couldn't help but hold their breath.
I saw that Bu Xiaotian easily stretched his hand half a foot away from the Demon-Slaying Sword, and did not seem to encounter any obstacles.
But when he wanted to get closer, powerful sword energy suddenly erupted from the Demon-Slaying Sword, blocking Bu Xiaotian's outstretched hand.
This has never happened before!
This time, not only Li Yungui, but also the faces of others showed surprise.
If there is a response, that means there is hope!
But as Bu Xiaotian continued to stretch his hand towards the Demon-Slaying Sword while resisting the sword energy emitted by the Demon-Slaying Sword with his own sword intention, the surrounding sword energy became stronger, forcing them to use their cultivation abilities. Reluctantly standing on the edge of the pit to observe the situation below.
In the end, they even had to work together to form a formation to ensure that they would not be harmed by the sword energy. This was only part of the sword energy that escaped.
One can imagine how much pressure Bu Xiaotian, who was facing the source of sword energy at the bottom of the pit, was under at this time. Everyone also felt that Bu Xiaotian's cultivation had far surpassed theirs.
Regarding this matter, no one outside the pit had any jealousy in their hearts, even Xiang Yunwen, the new headmaster of Yuxu Sect and the new peak master of Purple Thunder Peak, was the same.
Facing this world where demons are everywhere, after losing all the older generation masters, having a strong enough fellow sect is a good thing for the entire Yuxu Sect!
As for the fear that Bu Xiaotian's cultivation level would be too high and would affect their status, such thoughts have never occurred at all!
In the face of a catastrophe, if they still cling to their own petty thoughts and alienate their fellow disciples, they will not only be ashamed of their ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the Yuxu Sect, but they will also be unworthy of being disciples of the right path!
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Bu Xiaotian finally touched the hilt of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
But before everyone could be happy, Bu Xiaotian's expression changed and his figure suddenly disappeared at the bottom of the pit, and everyone around the pit was also shaken several feet away by a powerful force.
Almost at the same moment that Bu Xiaotian disappeared and everyone was knocked away, an earth-shaking sword energy erupted from the bottom of the pit!
Even the clouds in the sky were split into two by this sword energy, revealing a ray of blue!
The burst of sword energy lasted only a short time and then dissipated in an instant.
But the power displayed in this short moment was almost no less powerful than the sword that slashed across Kyushu that day in everyone's opinion!
If the sudden force hadn't shaken them away, I'm afraid all of them would have been dead by now!
After the sword energy dissipated, Bu Xiaotian's figure slowly appeared at the edge of the pit, frowning and looking at the bottom of the pit.
Seeing that the Demon-Slaying Sword did not continue to erupt, everyone returned to the pit again.
Seeing the Demon-Slaying Sword lying at the bottom of the pit as before, everyone finally felt disappointed.
Li Yungui cupped his fists towards Bu Xiaotian and said:
"Thank you, Junior Brother Yuntian, for saving me!"
The power that shook them away just now came from Bu Xiaotian.
Bu Xiaotian nodded slightly, said nothing, and still frowned at the Demon-Slaying Sword at the bottom of the pit.
Yun Can inherited Chi Lingfeng's always impatient temper. Looking at the silent crowd, he couldn't help but say:
"Even Junior Brother Yuntian didn't get the Demon-Slaying Sword. Is it true that God wants to destroy our Yuxu Sect?"
