“Yes!” The elders answered in unison.
Only, the expressions of all the elders were all ten thousand times heavier, they understood that if the Ancient Family really raised their full force to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be a catastrophe!
This time, it was completely different from offending the Ancient Family before.
What Lin Yun had offended before was only the ancient family’s Gu Yu, so it wasn’t much of a hardship for the Heavenly Sword Sect to protect Lin Yun, Gu Yu was limited in what he could do alone.
Whereas this time, it was killing the son of the Ancient Family’s head, the one who was angered was the entire Ancient Family, and it would cause the entire Ancient Family to lash out at the Heavenly Sword Sect, the nature of which was very different!
The Patriarch continued, “You guys don’t blame Lin Yun, it’s only because that Gu Yu held himself to have a background in the Gu family and was too domineering, he repeatedly intercepted Lin Yun, and this time he killed Lin Yun’s friend, only for Lin Yun to be able to cut him down in a fit of rage.”
“Yes!” The elders answered once again.
The Patriarch continued, “Great Elder, you are responsible for choosing a small number of disciples to transfer out of the Heavenly Sword Sect and send them to a safe place, if the Heavenly Sword Sect is really attacked, they will be the remaining embers of our Heavenly Sword Sect.”
“Patriarch don’t worry, leave this matter to old me.” The red-robed Grand Elder replied.
The Sovereign continued to command, “Elder Cui, you inform down that all Outer Sect disciples, if they are afraid of a great war, they can leave the Heavenly Sword Sect on their own and go back to their own homes without having to live or die with the Heavenly Sword Sect.”
The Outer Sect was supposed to be relatively lenient, free to come and go, unlike the Inner Sect, where the fate and glory of the Inner Sect disciples were tied to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“Good.” Elder Cui nodded his head.
Immediately after, the elders dispersed, preparing for the great battle that might come next.
The Patriarch also went straight to the grand hall.
Inside the grand hall.
“Although the people from the Gu Family have retreated, but the Gu Family definitely won’t stop.” Lin Yun’s expression was gloomy.
Although Lin Yun had just been following the Patriarch’s instructions to stay inside the great hall, Lin Yun had been using his divine sense to probe the situation outside.
If a real fight had just broken out, Lin Yun would have definitely rushed out immediately to join the battle.
“Messing with a behemoth like the Super Ancient Family and killing the first son of the Ancient Family, this matter, it’s truly difficult to end well.” Pang Liang sighed.
At this time, the Patriarch reentered the main hall.
“Lin Yun, the Gu family has suffered such a big loss, they definitely won’t just let it go, I reckon there might be a battle, I’ll make some arrangements for you to leave the Star Martial Empire and go to other empires first to ensure your safety, you’re a good seedling, you can’t afford to have a slip up.” The Patriarch said seriously.
“Patriarch, I’m not leaving! I invited the trouble, if anything happens, I’ll carry it with the Heavenly Sword Sect!” Lin Yun’s tone was resolute.
“Lin Yun, this isn’t the time to get carried away, this is for your own good!” The Patriarch said seriously.
“Patriarch, my mind is made up, I definitely won’t leave! No matter what flowers the Patriarch says, I won’t leave!” Lin Yun spoke with a resounding tone.
This matter had started because of Lin Yun, with Lin Yun’s character, how could he possibly leave?
“Alright, you guy, you’re so stubborn, you take your friend down to rest first.” The Sovereign smiled bitterly and shook his head.
…… On the other side
.
Elder Gu Tan led the crowd and travelled all the way back to the Ancient Family in a flying boat.
Inside the Ancient Family’s main hall.
“Elder Gu Tan, have you brought back Lin Yun who killed my son? I want him to be publicly executed! Also, how does the Heavenly Sword Sect plan to atone for their sins?” The Ancient Family Head said.
“Family Lord, the Heavenly Sword Sect Patriarch has a strong attitude and refuses to hand him over!” Gu Tan’s face didn’t look too good.
“Not handing them over?” The Ancient Family Lord immediately frowned.
“Bang!”
“His Heavenly Sword Sect is really bold! This is defying our entire Gu Family!!!”
The Ancient Family Lord slapped the table.
A wave of anger instantly filled the hall!
The Ancient Family Lord likewise did not expect that the Heavenly Sword Sect would be like this, to make an enemy of his entire Ancient Family for the sake of a single disciple?
Normally speaking, the Heavenly Sword Sect, in order to protect themselves, in order to protect the safety of the sect, should hand over the disciple to beg for peace, after all, the death is the son of his ancient family’s head ah, the Heavenly Sword Sect, which also dares to protect?
“Family master, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s patriarch said that if we, the Gu family, want to fight, we can go, but be careful of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of our own.” Gu Tan said.
“If my Ancient Family doesn’t fight this battle, won’t the world really think that my Ancient Family is soft?” The Ancient Family Lord’s eyes flickered with Tongren’s fury.
His son had been killed, and the Heavenly Sword Sect was neither handing over anyone nor giving an account, if his Gu Family did nothing, what face would his Super Gu Family have?
“It seems that the Ancient Family has been silent for too long, and the people of the world don’t know how powerful my Ancient Family is anymore… Pass on my order to quickly gather manpower! This family head will personally lead a team to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect! Fight until his Heavenly Sword Sect admits defeat!” The Ancient Family Lord gave the edict.
“Family Lord, if we really go to war, even though our Gu Family is stronger, the Heavenly Sword Sect is after all a famous sect, and I’m afraid that our Gu Family will lose a lot as well.” Elder Gu Tan said.
“After defeating the Heavenly Sword Sect, we will naturally have to raid the Heavenly Sword Sect, at that time, all sorts of resources, and even the Heavenly Sword Sect’s unique secret manuals, are all within our reach, and the harvest can definitely make up for the losses!” The Ancient Family Lord sneered.
Elder Gu Tan’s eyes lit up.
“Patriarch, I’ll go pass on the order.” Elder Gu Tan quickly said.
…… On the other side
.
Heavenly Sword Sect.
The Heavenly Sword Sect had already entered a level one state of alert, everyone tensed their nerves and was ready to deal with any battles that might come their way!
The news that the Ancient Family would most likely attack the Heavenly Sword Sect had already spread throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, at the same time, the Heavenly Sword Sect had already stated that the outer disciples could leave on their own, the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn’t force them to.
A portion of the outer disciples were afraid and all quickly chose to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect, such as Ximen Pu, who hurriedly left the Heavenly Sword Sect and returned to the Ximen Family.
There were naturally quite a few outer disciples who stayed behind.
There are also quite a few disciples, holding a fluke in their hearts, thinking that the Ancient Family should not dare to really start a big war against the Heavenly Sword Sect, after all, the Heavenly Sword Sect is also very powerful, and the Ancient Family will most likely kill a thousand of the enemy, and lose eight hundred of their own!
Of course, there were also the kind of disciples who complained in private, complaining that Lin Yun had invited disaster for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, they could only secretly complain in private, because the decision-making level of the Heavenly Sword Sect (the Patriarch and the Elders), basically all directly supported Lin Yun!
Four days had passed since the Ancient Family’s gang had come to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Lin Yun’s residence.
Pang Liang had stayed here for the past few days.
Mo Qing was in the courtyard, watching Lin Yun sculpt.
Lin Yun had already carved a complete sculpture of Mo Qing.
“Senior Sister Mo Qing, how’s it going? Any gains yet?” Lin Yun turned back to Mo Qing.
“Well, it’s indeed rewarding, it’s just a pity that I haven’t mastered the Upanishad of Fire, so I can’t learn your fire sculpture flow.” Mo Qing said with a light smile.
Boom!
Right at this moment, a layer of golden halo suddenly appeared in mid-air, enveloping the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.
“It’s the Sect Protector Formation! The Sect Protector Formation has been triggered!” Lin Yun’s face changed.
“Could it be that the Ancient Family is calling?” A look of surprise also appeared on Mo Qing’s pretty face.
During this period of time, the Heavenly Sword Sect was on level one alert, and once a large army appeared within a hundred mile radius of the Heavenly Sword Sect, all of the sect’s great formations would be instantly activated!
At this moment, all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, all looked up into the air, and all noticed the sect protection formation that was suddenly triggered!
