Emperor Qiankun

Suddenly, Elder Kong reached out and took out several golden talismans from his arms. A look of pain appeared on his face. It was obvious that these talismans were extremely precious.

But at this critical moment, Elder Kong gritted his teeth and resolutely threw it towards several elders of the Yunyin Sect.

"Immobilization Talisman!"

Everyone was shocked.

In an instant, the elders of the Yunyin Sect froze suddenly, as if they were restrained by an invisible force and temporarily lost the ability to move.

The people of Tianjian Sect gained a precious buffer time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elder Kong immediately led his disciples to rush towards the previously excavated passage. Their steps were hurried, their expressions tense, as if they were racing against time.

Just two breaths later, Elder Fan of the Yunyin Sect and others recovered from the restraints of the immobilization talisman.

Their faces were gloomy, their eyes burning with anger, and they hurriedly caught up.

However, at this time, the people from the Tianjian Sect in front had already left the excavated tunnel entrance.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Elder Kong's eyes became stern, and he thrust the sword in his hand fiercely at the entrance of the cave.

In an instant, earth and rocks collapsed and submerged the cave entrance.

The people from Tianjian Sect did not dare to stay and fled all the way, and soon arrived at the secluded place where they had stayed before.

Elder Kong immediately summoned the blue phoenix and let everyone sit on it.

However, just as they were about to escape on the Blue Luan Bird, the people from the Yunyin Sect had already appeared before them.

Seeing that there was no time to leave, a hint of determination flashed in Elder Kong's eyes.

He held the sword tightly in his hand and rushed towards the elder of Yunyin Sect with determination, shouting, "Go!"

Instantly, Elder Kong rushed towards the Yunyin Sect elders like an arrow from a bow, his sword flashing and carrying an unstoppable momentum. Seeing this, the Yunyin Sect elders immediately rushed forward, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The disciples of Tianjian Sect looked at Elder Kong's resolute back, their eyes reddened, their hearts filled with reluctance and worry.

But they also understood that they could not let Elder Kong’s sacrifice go to waste and had to escape as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of Ren Yuxuan and Elder Xu, they suppressed their grief and boarded the Qingluan Bird again.

The blue phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, while the battle below became more and more intense.

Elder Kong was outnumbered and gradually suffered countless wounds on his body, with blood staining his clothes red.

But his eyes remained firm. He burned his own blood and essence to hold back the people from Yunyin Sect, buying more time for his disciples.

The elders of Yunyin Sect were furious. They kept increasing the intensity of their attacks, trying to get rid of Elder Kong as soon as possible and chase after the disciples of Tianjian Sect.

However, Elder Kong seemed tireless and stubbornly resisted every attack.

As time went by, Elder Kong's physical strength gradually depleted, but he never took a step back.

......

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had already departed. They had only just set foot when they saw a figure approaching at breakneck speed on a sword. As the figure drew closer, everyone's sight became clearer.

The man was dressed in gray, his face was old but dignified, and his body was as straight as a sword.

He held an extremely sharp sword in his hand, the sword blade flashing with dazzling red light. The light was like a burning flame, emitting bursts of hot breath, as if it could ignite the surrounding air, making people dare not look directly at it.

Ren Yuxuan was the first to recognize the person, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She hurriedly waved to the person and shouted loudly, "Uncle Hua, this way!"

Perhaps it was because of Ren Yuxuan's cry that the figure flying on the sword came at an extremely fast speed, crossing the sky like lightning, and in an instant he came close to the disciples of Tianjian Sect.

The figure stopped steadily, revealing an old man with a stern face, it was Old Hua!

He looked at everyone with a sharp gaze, and when he saw their miserable state, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Then, Old Hua asked, "What's the situation now? Where is Xiao Kong?" Obviously, he already knew what had happened in Zi Yan Mountain before.

Ren Yuxuan immediately told Elder Hua everything that had happened, from the time they dug the cave, to the time they were betrayed by a traitor and ambushed, to how Elder Kong single-handedly blocked the Yunyin Sect's forces to buy time for the Tianjian Sect to retreat.

As she spoke, Ren Yuxuan's voice choked a little, but she suppressed her grief and continued speaking.

After hearing this, Elder Hua's expression darkened. He gripped his sword tightly, a powerful killing intent instantly spreading. Without further ado, he flew towards Ziyan Mountain on his sword.

......

When Old Hua flew rapidly towards Zi Yan Mountain, Ren Yuxuan and others also hurriedly drove the Qingluan Bird to follow closely.

Along the way, everyone was worried about the safety of Elder Kong and also hoped that Elder Hua's arrival would turn the situation around.

On the way back to Ziyan Mountain, Elder Xu looked at Ren Yuxuan with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Junior Sister Ren, how did Elder Hua know what happened here?"

Ren Yuxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and she said softly, "Actually, when we were discussing digging the hole, Li Qingyuan came to me quietly and told me some of what he had heard and analyzed what had happened in the past few days."

"When I thought about Wei Xuan's suggestion to dig a hole, I immediately realized that something was wrong. Wei Xuan was the traitor! So, I immediately contacted the sect leader using a communication talisman. The sect leader replied that he would send someone to handle the matter. However, I didn't expect that it would be Uncle Hua himself."

Elder Xu suddenly understood and said with a mixture of regret and admiration, "So that's how it is. Fortunately, there's Li Qingyuan, a clever fellow. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to face the Sect Master again this time. But having said that, this kid's strength is truly unfathomable. He was three realms away from Wei Xuan, yet he was able to kill him in just a few breaths."

Ren Yuxuan nodded. She was secretly glad that Li Qingyuan had discovered the problem in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

......

From the time Li Qingyuan and his companions left to the time they returned, it took only a cup of tea before they were back at Ziyan Mountain. At this time, the aftermath of the battle had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

Elder Kong was attacked by the five members of the Yunyin Sect. Not a single part of his body was intact, and blood flowed out like a fountain. His clothes were already soaked with blood and were in tatters.

Elder Kong's face was as pale as paper, but his eyes still shone with an unyielding light. He held on to his shaky body, his hands tightly gripping the sword. Although he was extremely weak, his momentum was undiminished.

Just when Elder Kong felt that he had reached the end of his life, despair surged in his heart and he was ready to end his life by self-detonation. However, at this critical moment, a sword light flashed across the five people in front of him like lightning.
