Wushuang Sect was truly extraordinary. This sect had not even existed for long, yet its disciples seemed to have been cooperating for countless years. The mastery and coordination of their formation were terrifying.
Everyone else fell silent. It was their first real revelation. They realized…
They really were useless…
Kuang Wuchang stood up, peering through the gaps at the seemingly endless ferocious beasts outside.
The woman in Wushuang Sect who was commanding the defense had placed herself in the first squad guarding the cave. At this moment, her expression was cold and unwavering, her sword lights flashing continuously as if they never ceased.
Fang Mingyue…
Kuang Wuchang memorized the name.
Aside from her, the remaining disciples of Wushuang Sect were like a single blazing fire when united, and scattered like stars across the sky. Not a single one lacked extraordinary talent.
If all of them survived this…
They might reshape the entire world in the future.
Yet…
Even with their incredible strength, this time, they still faced near-certain death. They were strong, but the sheer number of beasts was overwhelming. Kill one wave, and another followed. It seemed endless. They could hold for a day, two days…
And then?
Everyone's teleportation jade pendants no longer worked. Under the relentless pressure of countless beasts, they would inevitably be unable to hold out forever.
"We will not need to hold out indefinitely." Suddenly, a calm voice sounded.
Kuang Wuchang was momentarily stunned. Then he realized he had unconsciously spoken his worries aloud. The one responding was a fair-faced young man.
"Who are you?" Kuang Wuchang asked instinctively.
The man replied calmly, "A Wushuang Sect disciple, Kong Huai."
"Kong Huai," Kuang Wuchang murmured, hearing another unfamiliar name.
"Why do you say we do not need to hold out indefinitely?" someone asked, curious.
They had been suddenly caught in this calamity, with no prior warning or information. Yet their teleportation jade pendants were useless. This implied something significant. Those outside were powerless to intervene.
Kong Huai raised an eyebrow. "The Sect Master is still outside. She will not abandon anyone. She will find a way to save us. Our task is simply to endure a few days and await the change."
"Yun Jin?" Kuang Wuchang doubted. "This incident is extraordinary. If the teleportation jade pendants failed, even if Sect Master Yun wished to save us, she might be powerless."
"That is the Sect Master. She is omnipotent," Kong Huai stated matter-of-factly.
Kuang Wuchang could not help but say, "You think too simply. Our competition area is deep within the territory. During the event, the teleportation arrays only allow exit, not entry. Even if she wanted to save you, she could not get through."
This was reality.
Kong Huai nodded. "Indeed. We have no external reinforcements."
Kuang Wuchang was helpless. "Then you still—"
"Therefore, it is only a matter of time," Kong Huai said calmly. "Once we endure long enough, the situation will inevitably change."
They had not received any information that the spatial blockade would lift in three days. Yet this did not prevent reasonable speculation. They believed that as long as they held out, a turning point would come. Their Sect Master never abandoned a single disciple.
"Kong Huai, you talk too much," Fang Mingyue called over her shoulder. "You comprehended a high-level Law to increase recovery speed, which allows you to show off. Is that it?"
Kong Huai revealed an awkward smile. "I just wanted to give everyone some confidence."
"Who among us lacks confidence?" Fang Mingyue raised an eyebrow.
Kuang Wuchang glanced around.
These Wushuang Sect disciples—all of them—showed no hint of doubt. They fully and completely trusted their Sect Master.
Kuang Wuchang reflected. In the same situation, he could not imagine Liu Hua coming to save him. Yet Wushuang Sect's disciples trusted Yun Jin without hesitation.
"If… the changes here are too extreme, and your Sect Master really cannot find a solution?" Kuang Wuchang asked.
"Even then, our Sect Master will one day avenge us," Fang Mingyue replied casually.
"Indeed. If we die, the beasts here will be exterminated, and those behind this plot will not escape," Kong Huai added naturally. "Then our deaths will not be in vain."
Kuang Wuchang struggled to comprehend such trust. Yet he could not help but feel a tinge of envy. After a long moment, he asked the final question, "Why… are you saving us?"
His expression was complex. If the situation were reversed, he would not have extended a hand to Wushuang Sect disciples.
Kong Huai raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, "Because in Mingxin Hall, the Sect Master saved me."
"Because in Tianxing Sect, the Sect Master saved me too," Fang Mingyue said with a smile.
"In Canglan Kingdom, the Sect Master saved me as well," another said.
"Um… the Sect Master did not save me, but we are Wushuang Sect disciples, are we not?"
Being Wushuang Sect disciples naturally came with responsibilities and principles.
"Do not feel too pressured," someone reassured. "Today, we happened to save you. In the future, if any of you collude with the demonic path or oppress the weak, we will deal with you as well."
The Sect disciples: "…"
Well, psychological pressure is certainly not lacking.
"Alright, rotate squads," Fang Mingyue suddenly called.
This squad withdrew, and the next instantly blocked the cave entrance.
Fang Mingyue glanced at Kuang Wuchang. "You have not fought long, yet your injuries are significant. Rather than asking so many questions, tend to your wounds first."
Kuang Wuchang blushed and nodded softly.
Silence fell inside the cave.
The square outside was also quiet.
Not only the twenty disciples who had been saved, even those who considered themselves cold and selfish could not help but feel moved. The arrogant and flamboyant Yun Jin—her ideals and principles—had truly been inherited and implemented by Wushuang Sect disciples.
A thousand years of Wushuang Sect.
A thousand years ago, this was true.
A thousand years later, it remained true.
Lin Xiao's expression darkened. He had thought these Wushuang Sect disciples were doomed. Who would have expected that after forming their formation, their overall power would become even more terrifying?
At this rate forget surviving three days. Even ten days or half a month, these disciples could hold out. Lin Xiao slowly clenched his fists.
This Yun Jin… where did she find such prodigies!
