Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

What's going on? Shouldn't Meng Qinghong be protecting Jiang Han at this time, waiting for that kid to consolidate his realm before making a move? Why is he in such a hurry to cause trouble for them?

Could it be that something unexpected has happened?

A hint of doubt flashed in Jun Linyuan's eyes, then he said softly:

"Shen Tingyun".

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures flew in from behind. They were Qingyu and Muyuan, who were still very weak, and a young cultivator wearing a blue and white cloud-patterned Daoist robe.

Jun Linyuan glanced at the group, his gaze lingering on Qingyu and the other person. His eyes darkened, and he gave the order:

"Junior Brother Shen, quickly send a message to Moon Shadow Tower and ask them to send reinforcements. They must cooperate with us to repel the Sword Sect and protect our heritage."

"Tell them that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If we lose, the Sword Sect's next target will definitely be the Moon Shadow Pavilion. Let Xuan Moyu think carefully about whether they can handle the Sword Sect now."

"Yes."

Shen Tingyun immediately took out the communication crystal and sent a message to Moon Shadow Tower, but then couldn't help asking:

“Senior Brother Meng, even if Qingyu and Muyuan are injured, we might still be a match for the Sword Sect. Isn’t it a bit…” to send a message to Moon Shadow Pavilion for help so early…

Asking for help without even fighting seems a bit too much; people will laugh at us if word gets out.

“The Sword Sect members are indeed very strong, but we are no weaker than them. Besides, Zheng Hanyun is still recovering from his injuries. If we fight with all our might, we may not be without a chance of winning.”

Jun Linyuan let out a soft breath and explained:

"Of course we can fight, but this wasn't caused by our own people, so we don't have to bear the whole burden."

Moon Shadow Tower is in a similar situation to us, so we might as well use it. We can't just fight ahead while they sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits.

"Just tell them that if Xuan Moyu doesn't come today, I will cease hostilities with the Sword Sect and go with Meng Qinghong to attack the Moon Shadow Tower. Let him decide what to do."

He didn't explain much. The others hadn't witnessed Jiang Han's strength firsthand. Although they knew he was powerful, they didn't understand how unpredictable that kid was.

Despite their large numbers and the fact that many of them are at the Nascent Soul stage, if Meng Qinghong holds them back, Jiang Han's entry, combined with the cooperation of the other Sword Sect disciples, will easily send his junior brothers and sisters fleeing in terror, leaving them with absolutely no power to defend themselves.

That kid would require at least two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, or at least five early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, to barely handle; their current manpower is simply insufficient.

In other words, if Jiang Han really does emerge from seclusion, and if Moon Shadow Pavilion doesn't come to their aid today, there's an 80% chance they'll suffer a crushing defeat.

But he couldn't say that. He could only see if Xuan Moyu was smart enough. If not, he would lead his men to attack Yueying Tower and other forces, stirring up the waters and dragging everyone down with him.

In short, if he's having a hard time, no one else should expect to have one either.

Thinking of this, Jun Linyuan grinned, and a hundred-foot-long crack immediately appeared in the void behind him. A huge beast claw tore outward from the edge of the crack, and its massive body leaped out, crashing into the air and roaring to the sky.

"Roar--!"

Purple lightning flashed from its menacing horns, and its lightning domain instantly expanded, transforming into a purple lightning shield that enveloped and protected the entire area, including the valley behind it, for hundreds of miles around.

"The defensive formation is activated. You all stay and guard the formation until the others return. I'm going to meet Meng Qinghong."

Jun Linyuan gave the order, and then in a flash, he rushed towards Meng Qinghong with Lei Lin.

The mountaintop fell silent for a moment, with only the four of them looking at each other in silence.

After a moment, Shen Tingyun couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but say, "Are we really just going to wait here?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of struggle crossed Xiao Yue's eyes, and he hesitated before saying:

"Senior Brother Jun has just gone out to meet the enemy; the battle hasn't even officially started yet. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to run away now?"

Shen Tingyun visibly stiffened and said in astonishment, "Who said we were going to run away? What are you thinking?"

"What I mean is, our senior brothers have all gone out to fight the enemy, are we just going to stand here and watch? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to do something?"

"You're right, we really can't just sit here and wait."

Xiao Yue nodded in agreement, then said to Mu Yuan, "Try to awaken the Wood Spirit. If that doesn't work, sacrifice some of your lifespan to force its awakening. If we can't hold it off any longer, we'll escape underground."

"Although Jiang Han's speed is abnormal, he may not be able to burrow underground. As long as we escape in time, we should have a chance to get away."

"Okay, I'll start preparing now."

Mu Yuan agreed with unusual ease. After speaking, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to communicate with the wood spirit.

Shen Tingyun was completely stunned. After regaining her senses, she couldn't help but shout, "Wait, the fight hasn't even started yet, and you're already planning to run away?"

"I just don't understand. Winning and losing in fights is normal. What's wrong with you three? After losing one fight, you don't even have the courage to fight again?"

Xiao Yue glanced at him, shook his head and sighed, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. You'll know once you've fought him. That guy is simply inhuman..."

No one knows how scared he is right now. Ever since he saw Meng Qinghong, his heart has been pounding uncontrollably. That feeling of palpitation could drive a person crazy.

He probably doesn't even have the courage to draw his sword against Jiang Han now.

Oh, no, his knife was smashed and stolen long ago. Now, he doesn't even have the right to draw his knife.

“Junior Brother Shen, Jiang Han was in a weakened state after his tribulation, yet he still managed to beat me up like that. Now that he has recovered to his peak state, his strength is far beyond our imagination.”

If you don't want to end up like me, take my advice: run if you can, and whatever you do, don't fight Jiang Han head-on. You can't win.

Xiao Yue's expression was tinged with sadness, and his tone was solemn: "If you hesitate even for a moment, you might miss your last chance to escape."

He had a deep understanding of this point.

That day, he only hesitated for a moment and didn't run away with Qingyu and the others, and then that kid stuck to him and he couldn't escape no matter what he tried.

This time, Jiang Han's strength has reached its peak, and no one knows how fast he will be.

Shen Tingyun narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is that so? Then I really want to see it for myself."

He was initially just curious about Jiang Han, but now he felt a strong fighting spirit.

That kid really has something special about him, managing to beat that unserious Xiao Yue so badly that he didn't even dare to think about revenge.

But he is not Xiao Yue, and his spatial laws are not comparable to those ordinary earthen mountains and rocks.

The Annihilation Thunder is powerful, but it only works if it hits someone.

With the blessing of the laws of space, his movements are so unpredictable that no one in this world can match him. Jiang Han probably won't be able to touch him even until he dies.

If he were to actually face off against Jiang Han, his chances of winning would be at least 70%.
