Chapter 0123: 0123
He could be seen pondering deeply for just a quick moment .
Perhaps Yang Qing's death had affected him tremendously . He turned his head towards Lan Huayi and spoke, "What you've said isn't wrong . We have to protect our posterity . But do you have a complete plan? Once they leave the Bipo Mountain Range, things might be even more dangerous . "
Lan Huayi dryly replied, "I have already planned for it . Naturally, I know how to help them leave safely . Even today, our borders are probably being watched by our enemies . We have to personally escort them and let them enter the Sky Region Forest . Furthermore, it has to be done on foot, not on Immortal Cranes and Heavenly Cloud Rocs, towards the East Imperial Kingdom . So long as they hide within the Sky Region Forest, Jiang Xie will be searching for a needle in a haystack . "
If one were to head west from the Bipo Mountain Range, not too far away was a pristine and unblemished area known as the Sky Region Forest . Although it was called a forest, it was actually a group of mountains where within grew numerous trees that were incomparably large and tall . It was as though it was a world of giants . It was said that in the center of the forest could be found a tree over 100 zhang tall . It was almost as large as a mountain .
This was a place where mortals could not reach .
Passing through the Sky Region Forest would allow one to arrive at the East Imperial Kingdom .
"East Imperial Kingdom?" Upon hearing this name, the look in the listeners' eyes changed .
"If we were to lose the Bipo Mountain Range, the bountiful and ever-changing East Imperial Kingdom would indeed be a good place for them to develop . " Elder Shentu nodded .
"If we were to personally protect and escort them into the Sky Region Forest, it would be possible to evade the eyes of our watchers . Once they have entered the forest, even if we would like to search for them, it would be exceedingly difficult, even more so for Jiang Xie himself . Furthermore, I feel that we should let a single elder accompany them and let them enter the East Imperial Kingdom," Lan Huayi continued .
It was true that her plan seemed almost foolproof .
All of this was to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect a way out .
She knew that Feng Xueya was extremely protective of his own . After personally witnessing the death of his disciple, their points of view should not differ .
Understandably, after a moment of deep thought, Feng Xueya replied, "Then let us do as you propose . However, given the disciples' personalities, I do not believe that they would choose to leave . "
Lan Huayi gave a mirthless smirk . "They are just a bunch of kids . Just come up with a few excuses and trick them . You don't need to worry . You can calmly reinforce the 10,000 Swords Formation . "
It had taken this many years before they could come to a mutual understanding .
Feng Xueya paused for a moment, his gaze finally resting upon Elder Shentu .
"Shentu, I leave this task of escorting the disciples to the Royal Palace to you . "
Yet Elder Shentu seemed shocked before he hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader, I want to stay here . . . . "
"Protect them . This is a task of even greater importance . Once they have arrived safely, if we have yet to lose, you can rush back and assist us . That would not be too late . "
"Alright then . . . . "
This was a direct order .
Feng Xueya then once again immersed himself in his thoughts . Only once he was convinced that his plan had no holes did he allow Lan Huayi to continue with the preparations . He knew that Lan Huayi was only concerned with Lan Boli and Lan Shuiyue's wellbeing before coming up with such an idea . Night Wishes for Snow and Wu Yu tagging along was just an afterthought .
However, to leave behind some seeds for the Heavenly Sword Sect was indeed the most important of tasks .
After all, the battle here at the Bipo Mountain Range would be one to the death .
. . . . . .
Several days later, Wu Yu was in the final stages of cultivating the Inner Vajra Buddha . All of a sudden, Night Wishes for Snow, Su Yanli, and Mo Shishu had rushed over on their Immortal Cranes to wake Wu Yu up .
Night Wishes for Snow said, "The Sect-Protector has asked the four of us to come and see her . Let's go . "
"Alright . " Wu Yu immediately made haste to his Immortal Beast Garden and grabbed an Immortal Crane before ascending to the skies . The group of them then made way to the never-before-visited Stained Glass Sky Peak .
This was the one mountain on the Bipo Mountain Range that possessed a snowy peak .
"We have no idea why Master has summoned us; we were in the midst of discussing why," Su Yanli told Wu Yu .
Mo Shishu gently fanned himself and spoke vulgarly, "If I guessed right, it must be that Lan Huayi wants to betrothe Lan Boli to Eldest Brother and match Lan Shuiyue to Junior Brother . It will be a cause for celebration . It's only a pity that Su Yanli and I are still single . Perhaps we can get together as well . . . "
"You can go and find a hundred female junior disciples for yourself . " Su Yanli couldn't be bothered with him .
Of course, he was merely joking . There must have been something serious that was happening .
Flying their Immortal Cranes, they arrived at Stained Glass Sky Peak not long after . They dismounted at the bottom of the mountain and proceeded on foot upwards towards the Stained Glass Palace . When one looked up, the palace was akin to the crowning jewel of that mountain .
"We're here . "
The gates of the palace had already been left open for them .
When they entered this pristine and beautiful palace, they discovered that Lan Huayi was sitting on the throne above . Below her were her four disciples . Lan Shuiyue was there, and Wu Yu had not seen her for some time . Even today, when she saw Wu Yu, she did not dare to look at him directly .
"Since everyone is here, I will get to the topic at hand . " Lan Huayi's gaze swept past everyone, yet it seemed as though it lingered slightly longer upon Night Wishes for Snow and Wu Yu .
Following which, she spoke again . "I have an extremely crucial task for the group of you . "
The eight of them listened on with rapt attention .
They were truly the group that was both the youngest and most outstanding amongst their peers .
"All of you might know that our Heavenly Sword Sect will enter a battle of life and death against three parties . The strongest combatants are those who possess the power of the Jindan . Thus, we also need to obtain the strength of an additional Jindan combatant . In this period of time, I have been in contact with a Jindan expert . He has agreed to help us, but we have to satisfy one of his conditions . "
