"Young niece, don't you want to go up? We'll cover for you here, allowing you to explore their realities first. This can also be considered as setting a merit for our Mingyuan Sect."
The robe-wearing woman said coldly, "Why doesn't Uncle go?"
Wu Ding laughed, "Young lady, don't you see? Your uncle actually expects you to come over and meet your demise."
"You wretched woman, don't even think about sowing discord!" The robe-wearing woman first scolded Wu Ding.
"Sigh..."
Suddenly, the sound of water gushing could be heard, as if water was flooding into the giant Heavenly Quenching Meteorite. Ye Fan used his Spiritual Sense to sense it, realizing roughly that a gap had been opened in the Sky Sea Sect's mountain gate. The ones coming to the Sky Sea Sect were not just they and Mingyuan Sect, but other sects as well.
"Senior Sister, this place is about to collapse, we should leave early while we can." Ye Fan said solemnly.
Wu Ding laughed, "Now let's see if these people have the sense. I'll count to three, if you don't leave, I'll have to act."
The disciples of Mingyuan Sect were somewhat anxious, immediately wanting to compete with Wu Ding, but the old man waved his hand and said, "Today is not the day to provoke trouble, let's pull back and make long-term plans."
"Uncle, you mustn't." The robe-wearing woman harshly said, "Master asked me to take charge of everything this time; now I order you to lead people up and capture everyone, take the protector bell of the Tongling Mirror!"
The old man sneered, "Such authority from the young niece, you're not the Sect Master yet and you're already trying to emulate your master in issuing orders? If you've got the guts, go up yourself, otherwise, don't even think about having the disciples of Mingyuan Sect accompany you to their deaths!"
"Rumble!"
The seawater flooding into the Heavenly Quenching Meteorite was increasing, even the top of the great hall started pouring water.
"If you're not going up, I will!" Seeing the situation worsen and failure near imminent, the robe-wearing woman could no longer hold back, she summoned her magic sword and stabbed towards Wu Ding while shouting, "Mingyuan Sect disciples, follow me!"
But under such circumstances, most disciples were still thinking only of self-preservation, none truly followed her forward.
An arrow shot once cannot return, the robe-wearing woman charged forward with great momentum, but to Ye Fan's eyes, she was merely an arrogant cultivator who lacked basic awareness of the situation, going up meant nothing other than meeting her death.
Wu Ding was about to act, Ye Fan knew that the robe-wearing woman had offended Wu Ding and would likely be torn to pieces by Wu Ding. Out of a sense of moral duty, as an Earth cultivator, he couldn't let her be killed for her mistakes.
Before Wu Ding could act, Ye Fan used Spiritual Energy to form a huge bundle, first covering the range of the woman's charge, then abruptly tightened the bundle's mouth, trapping the robe-wearing woman inside.
The robe-wearing woman first sensed something was wrong, intending to retreat, but she had no way to retreat now, and Wu Ding's blow happened to hit Ye Fan's bundle.
"Slash, slash, slash!" The robe-wearing woman swung her magic sword, trying to slice open Ye Fan's Spiritual Energy bundle, but her efforts were futile, simply like an ant shaking a tree. As the bundle mouth gradually tightened, the final revenge turned into chains, binding the woman tightly, the magic sword slipped from her hand, initially she could still struggle somewhat, but ultimately she fell into the knee-deep water, struggling in the seawater.
Wu Ding glanced at Ye Fan and said, "So Junior Brother wants to protect this girl, you surely have a tender heart for women."
Ye Fan replied, "I simply don't want to see Senior Sister cause bloodshed."
"Bloodshed? You think I would kill her?" Wu Ding cursed, "Junior Brother, you really underestimate your Senior Sister. She wouldn't kill a girl for rivalry, otherwise, she would have already killed countless others."
While Wu Ding said this, he also glanced at Li Zhaojun, meaning if he were to kill a woman out of rivalry, it would be better to kill Li Zhaojun, thus you would be mine.
The old man on the opposite side clapped and said, "Truly a good method, with such cultivation, surely must be above Nascent Soul Stage, admirable, admirable, the green mountains don't change, the blue waters flow forever; I'll certainly pay a visit in the future!"
He was just saying some politeness, then he waved his hand and said, "Leave."
When he said leave, he simply asked his people to carry away the male disciple who had been knocked unconscious earlier, as for the robe-wearing woman, the old man didn't even bother to care, as if her life and death as a future sect leader didn't matter to him. This also showed the internal conflict within Mingyuan Sect.
Mingyuan Sect's people wanted to leave, Li Bei wanted to stop them, but he didn't dare to act rashly before Ye Fan and the others.
As the seawater poured in, the seawater in the great hall had already risen past their heads, but for several of them, this seawater wasn't influential; Ye Fan used a Spiritual Energy net to separate the cold seawater, so that Li Zhaojun wouldn't feel any coldness.
Wu Ding looked at Li Bei and said, "Now the Sky Sea Sect is about to be destroyed, didn't you say there's Sky Sea Elixir here, why not bring it out?"
"Everyone, follow me." Li Bei led the way, swiftly passing through the seawater, heading into the interior of the great hall.
Wu Ding and Elder Wu followed behind him, Ye Fan looked at the robe-wearing woman struggling in the seawater, she hadn't passed the Golden Core Stage yet, her body still requiring basic survival conditions like oxygen.
Ye Fan used Spiritual Energy to bind the robe-wearing woman, just like dragging luggage, tying her behind, while Min Shang curiously eyed the robe-wearing woman, not understanding why Ye Fan was bringing this trouble.
As seawater poured into the Heavenly Quenching Meteorite, the meteorite's weight increased, already sinking towards the seabed.
They reached a place inside the great hall that looked like a spring, where Spiritual Energy was abundant, and a group of cultivators burst in. Wu Ding was about to act, Li Bei shouted, "Don't mind them, without a special technique, Sky Sea Elixir can't be condensed!"
Li Bei reached his hand into the spring of Spiritual Energy, when his hand returned, it had a few glass ball-like things, he directly stuffed them into his storage bracelet and said, "Let's go!"
The cultivators intended to pursue, but were blocked by a palm strike from Li Bei, directly stopping their advance. Six people, plus the robe-wearing woman dragged behind, exited the Heavenly Quenching Meteorite almost simultaneously, as the meteorite shattered from a powerful Spiritual Energy burst from the seabed, even those low-leveled cultivators were crushed to death.
"Such strong Spiritual Energy undercurrent." Ye Fan could feel the powerful Spiritual Energy undercurrent beneath the sea, he even thought that cultivating in such a place on Earth would be favorable; after all, no place on Earth had such abundant Spiritual Energy for his cultivation progress.
Meanwhile, something seemed to be resonating in Ye Fan's storage bracelet.
Although Ye Fan had no significant Magic Artifacts, upon closer examination, he realized it was the Magic Artifact he chose at Tianxuan Sect, the gourd. This gourd had always been dormant in his storage bracelet due to its uselessness, even Tianxuan Sect hadn't considered this Magic Artifact important. For some reason, amidst such powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations, something inside the gourd seemed to be signaling, even faintly emitting Spiritual Energy in response.
"Go!"
Ye Fan didn't hesitate, following Elder Wu's voice, the group quickly surged toward the surface, until they broke through the sea surface, as the storm on the sea had calmed, the night sea was peaceful as usual.
