Immediately after, the Ancient Family Lord lit up eight million spirit crystals on the spot and handed them over to the Heavenly Sword Sect Patriarch.
The Ancient Family Lord had to weigh the pros and cons of this after all.
“Ancient Family Lord, I hope you follow the treaty, if you dare to break the treaty and retaliate against these old disciples who supported the Heavenly Sword Sect today, then my Heavenly Sword Sect will also use all of its abilities to retaliate against your Ancient Family’s outgoing disciples, and even gather all of its forces to attack your Ancient Family! Even if my Heavenly Sword Sect is annihilated, I will still inflict heavy damage on your Gu Family!” The Patriarch’s tone was strong and stern.
The Ancient Family Lord’s face muscles twitched, and he didn’t say another word after all.
“All members of the Ancient Family, retreat with me!”
The Ancient Family Lord issued an edict.
“Make way for them!” The Patriarch shouted.
Although the Heavenly Sword Sect had come with so many reinforcements, if they really put up a fight, in a situation where the difference in strength between the two sides wasn’t particularly large, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s side would still not be able to suffer well, and would still suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, stopping the war and retreating from the enemy was already the best result, able to preserve the lives of everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Everyone from the Ancient Family flew up in the air and left at extreme speed.
For the Ancient Family, it was obvious that they had returned today in defeat, their goal had not been achieved, and they had even lost a part of their family’s elite force, although the Heavenly Sword Sect had suffered even greater losses, their Ancient Family had not gained the slightest advantage after all, and their expedition had been a great failure.
As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, they successfully resisted the attack of the Ancient Family, and preserved the main force of the Heavenly Sword Sect, this defence war, is obviously a victory!
From time immemorial, evaluating whether a war was won or lost was never based on which side lost more people, but rather on who had achieved their goal.
After the Ancient Family’s crowd disappeared into the sky.
“Haha, the Ancient Family has retreated!”
“Won! We won!”
Everyone under the Heavenly Sword Sect’s mountain, whether they were disciples or deacons or protectors, all cheered in unison!
The Heavenly Sword Sect, saved!
This honour belonged to every member of the Heavenly Sword Sect!!!
Lin Yun even sat paralysed on the ground.
“This crisis, it’s finally lifted ……” Lin
Yun let out a long sigh of relief, his heart instantly relaxed.
The Heavenly Sword Sect had managed to keep it down, and the great battle between the two sides hadn’t lasted too long, and the losses hadn’t been as severe as imagined.
This, perhaps, was already the best outcome!
After all, given the previous situation, the Heavenly Sword Sect was very likely to be exterminated!
At this time, those old disciples who had rushed to the aid of the Heavenly Sword Sect flew over.
“See you, Sovereign! See all the elders!”
The old disciples saluted the Sovereign and the elders.
Although there were extremely individuals among them whose strength had already surpassed that of the elders, a day as a teacher was a lifetime as a father.
“All disciples, this time, the Heavenly Sword Sect was able to be preserved, it’s really thanks to you all… Without you rushing here to deter them, it’s impossible for the Ancient Family to retreat… Please accept my obeisance!”
The Patriarch saluted the crowd.
All the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect also bowed and saluted in unison.
Although these old disciples didn’t directly participate in the battle, it was because of them they rushed to deterrence that the Ancient Family was scared off.
They, their credit was invaluable!
“Patriarch is serious, we were once trained by the Heavenly Sword Sect, once a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, we will be a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect for the rest of our lives! Although we retired from the sect, we will not lose our colours! If the Heavenly Sword Sect is in trouble, we old disciples, even if we are broken to pieces, we are still obliged to help!” Quan Yuan, who was in the first stage of the Mahayana realm, said.
“Right! We are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect on one day, and we will be disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect for the rest of our lives! Even though we retire from the Sect, we will not lose our colours!”
The old disciples said in unison, their voices loud and neat!
“Good! All …… are good sons and daughters of my Heavenly Sword Sect!” The Patriarch had a smile on his face, but his eyes were moist.
Even a resolute man like the Patriarch was already in tears!
Many elders, too, covered their faces and wiped their tears.
These were tears of emotion.
Their generation after generation of diligently nurturing the disciples had not been in vain after all!
It was easy to be generous, but it was difficult to die with ease!
Although the disciples were usually disconnected from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
At the time of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s survival, they came!!!!
Even at this moment, there were old disciples who kept arriving!
This is the cohesion and appeal of a large sect!
Even a super family would have to weigh how difficult it would be to truly want to topple a famous sect!
“Everyone, since you’ve come home this time, I’ll host a big banquet tonight, stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect and accompany us for some great drinks, how about it?” The Patriarch said with a smile.
“Haha, good Sovereign, the disciples have long missed the nights of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect’s immortal brew!” The old disciples replied with smiles.
“Alright, Elders, you first lead the disciples to clean up the battlefield, save the injured disciples at all costs, and clean up the disciples who have already sacrificed their lives.” The Patriarch said.
“Alright!”
The elders answered in unison, then quickly separated and led the disciples to clean up the battlefield.
The entire Heavenly Sword Sect’s outer gate plaza, all the way to the entrance, was damaged beyond recognition, and even many buildings had collapsed, but none of this mattered.
The old disciples, too, spontaneously joined the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cleanup efforts.
Quite a few old disciples who knew each other well, many of whom hadn’t seen each other for many years, and they were warmly chatting at this time, the love of masters and brothers, hadn’t worn off.
Where Lin Yun was.
“Lin Yun, you guy, why did you care about me back then! You almost died yourself.” Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, looking heartbroken.
“Senior sister, I’m not fine, I have a super god level protective soft armour, so I dared to resist the attack.” Lin Yun squeezed out a smile.
“Cunning, what if he attacks your head? The protective soft armour is useless too!” Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes glared at Lin Yun.
“Senior sister, anyway, we’re both alive now, isn’t this a happy occasion for everyone.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Immediately after, Lin Yun twisted his head to look like around, his smile faded, “It’s just that, the Heavenly Sword Sect died at least a few hundred people today, and the injured are estimated to be two to three thousand, and that’s still not long after the engagement, if the fight continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Lin Yun’s expression had become grave as he spoke at the end.
Lin Yun’s heart was undoubtedly guilty.
“Lin Yun, you’ve already done enough, people in the jungle, they can’t help themselves, there are many things that you can’t sway.” Mo Qing said.
At this time, the Patriarch walked over.
“Little one, I didn’t disturb you two from talking about love, did I?” The Patriarch said with a smile.
“Sovereign is joking.” Lin Yun barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
“Today’s battle, the fight wasn’t a loss, it brought out the prestige of my Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Ancient Family definitely won’t dare to stray and mess around again in a short period of time.” The Patriarch said.
“Today died so many disciples, this is more than a blood debt, one day I will let the ancient family, blood debt blood pay! I will step on the Ancient Family!” Lin Yun’s pitch-black eyes flashed with an astonishingly stern aura.
Today’s blood debt, Lin Yun remembered it deeply in his heart.
One had to know that the Heavenly Sword Sect had almost been destroyed today.
In the future, if he didn’t eradicate the Ancient Family, Lin Yun would swear not to be a human being!
This was more than a blood feud, it was an incentive for Lin Yun to improve himself!
With such a great grudge on his side, Lin Yun dared not slack off even more in his cultivation.
“Good, you guy, you have a great future, this Patriarch is waiting for that day!” The Sovereign patted Lin Yun’s shoulder with longing in his eyes.
