"This... the Elder's command, it asked us all to come..."

Nanrong Biyou shook her head, saying, "Yan Sword Immortal is truly merciful and righteous. Even now, she still considers the welfare of you Sword Sect disciples."

Wang Mu's heart skipped a beat. "Miss You, what do you mean by that?"

Nanrong Biyou lazily stretched, revealing a glimpse of her extraordinarily enchanting figure, but Wang Mu had no time to appreciate it at this moment.

"Let me get straight to the point then," Nanrong Biyou said leisurely. "I've previously mentioned some issues with your Yan Sword Immortal, so I won't go into detail again. The important thing is...

"The Holy Daughter of Yuanhai Hall quietly came to Huangtian Continent over half a year ago and colluded with one of the neutral Sects here. Inside that Sect, there is the corpse of an Ancient God. This Holy Daughter is ruthless and her methods extraordinary. Somehow, she made that Sect refine the Ancient God's body into a Demon-Suppressing Immortal Zombie possessing the power of Heavenly Communication, comparable to a Peak of Tribulation Crossing expert. It is undying and nearly impossible to kill.

"Afterwards, the Three Sects met secretly in a Blood Demon Cave in Qianzhou and spent several years creating a large-scale, cross-continental spatial blood Big Formation. They used this method to launch a direct assault on your Sword Sect.

"Your Sword Sect had disciples undercover in Qianzhou who astutely managed to find out about this. You then dispatched a group of disciples to the Blood Demon Cave. They cooperated with some Righteous Sects of Qianzhou and eliminated that threat. This allowed your Sword Sect to breathe a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, the true construction site of that Big Formation was in Tianlin Continent... They sacrificed quite a few disciples...

"Not long ago, that Big Formation was finally completed, and the Immortal Zombie was revived.

"Your Sword Sect realized this a bit late. They wished to request the help of some Righteous Sects within the continent, but they were stopped by that Immortal Zombie. It will take some time for the Righteous Sects from the Outer Continent to arrive, especially since the Magpie Bridge Festival is happening..."

Nanrong Biyou gently shook her head. "Many disciples from the Righteous Sects have come to attend this grand event, as you can see. So they really can't spare many disciples to provide support..."

"You mean..." Wang Mu's heart skipped a beat again.

"Your Sword Sect now..." Nanrong Biyou said with a half-smile, "should be under joint attack from the Three Great Demon Sects. To my knowledge, the deadliest among them are those two Tribulation Crossing Ancestors. The rest, with your Peak Leaders and the Mountain Protection Array, should just barely manage to cope.

"Under normal circumstances, with Yan Sword Immortal's strength, those two mere Tribulation Crossing Ancestors wouldn't dare to provoke her at the Sword Sect Mountain Gate. She would have cut them down with a single sword strike.

"It's just that, as you know, your Yan Sword Immortal failed in Crossing Tribulation. Her Primordial Spirit was severely damaged, her power greatly reduced—barely ten to twenty percent of her usual—and it keeps declining every year."

"I know that you found the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill," Nanrong Biyou's voice dropped in temperature. "That's quite impressive of you, truly remarkable. However, this Pill that nourishes the Primordial Spirit needs some time to take effect. For a powerhouse at her Realm, even after taking the Pill, two or three years of recuperation for her Primordial Spirit would be considered fast.

"Slower, and it's normal to take several decades to recover."

Wang Mu went silent.

Indeed, even the most incredible elixir wouldn't lead to an immediate recovery in just a few days.

"After she took this Pill, she regained some strength. Those two Tribulation Crossing Ancestors are not much of a problem..." Nanrong Biyou softly pinched her fingertips. "The trouble is that Immortal Zombie, Yun Huan. If he joins the battlefield, your Yan Sword Immortal might be able to destroy him and sweep away the remaining Demon Path dregs. However, her Primordial Spirit would be severely damaged. If she's lucky, she might perish within a few months at most.

"At that time, even with the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill, it would be too late to turn the tide.

"If she's unlucky, she might perish on the spot."

"Considering the time..."

Nanrong Biyou spoke slowly, "That Immortal Zombie would have beaten back your Sword Sect's righteous allies within the continent. He's likely to reach your Sword Sect by tomorrow. The Demon Sects' attack began the moment the Magpie Bridge Festival started. She sent you disciples here, probably to save your lives so that even if she perishes, the legacy of your Sword Sect can still survive."

"Are you satisfied with this secret?"

Wang Mu stood frozen in place.

He couldn't quite comprehend it.

"Why would those three Demon Sects go to such lengths to..."

"To wipe out the Sword Sect?" Nanrong Biyou shook her head, saying, "Personal grudges are one reason. However, the main issue is that the Sword Sect possesses the Heavenly Revelation Secret Treasure, which contains the secrets to becoming an Immortal. It's not just the Demon Sects that covet it; many Righteous Sects do as well, but they are deterred by Yan Sword Immortal's strength.

"Of course, most Righteous Sects prioritize their own Cultivation. While they might harbor some designs on this Heavenly Revelation Secret Treasure, they are too disinclined to instigate such a massive sect war.

"The Demon Path forces, naturally, are not so scrupulous, plus they have old scores to settle. This time, they came well-prepared..."

Wang Mu remembered.

The Heavenly Revelation Secret Treasure.

"Speaking of which, your Yan Sword Immortal is quite stubborn..." Nanrong Biyou shook her head again. "Her Primordial Spirit being damaged, why not just hand over the Heavenly Revelation Secret Treasure? In her current state, she can't become an Immortal anyway... If she handed it to another Sect, the Sword Sect would be somewhat safer."

Wang Mu was silent for a long while.

"If you wish..." Nanrong Biyou narrowed her eyes, saying, "I can take you to see her one last time. From here to the Sword Sect, at your speed, even after a few days, you wouldn't reach the border."
