System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

He even adopted a consultative attitude, asking the two whether this was feasible.

Ziyu and Heisong both frowned, clearly not pleased.

However, just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly somber, whoosh—from the distant clouds, a gigantic, fiery-red-winged avian beast suddenly flew out. This beast was merely at the Innate Realm level.

The disciples of Cangyun Ridge were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, each possessing considerable strength. As the aura of the demonic beast approached, they all turned to look. Ziyun, Ziyu, Heisong, and the others also frowned and looked over. The approaching demonic beast was none other than Jiang Ming's spirit beast, the Firewing Bird.

"You beast!" Ziyun sneered and shouted.

Huo'er remained calm and composed, stopping about five miles from the curtain. Her sharp eyes fixed on the crowd ahead, she shouted, "My Jiang clan has already set up a great formation on White Bone Peak, fifty miles ahead, waiting for you Cangyun Ridge disciples to break it!"

After shouting, Huo'er flapped its wings without looking back, trying to fly away.

"How dare this little monster be so arrogant! I'll subdue it!" With such arrogant words, it actually thinks it can leave so easily?

Immediately, some ignorant Cangyunling disciples wanted to attack Huo'er and kill her.

After Huo'er said these words, Ziyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason is simple: Jiang's message this time directly thwarted their plan to split off a force to raid Jiang's stronghold.

"Wait!" Ziyu said, and the old man who was drawing his bow and shooting arrows stopped in confusion.

At this moment, everyone on the screen looked at Ziyu.

"The Jiang clan is so weak, yet they dare to set up a grand formation and send spirit beast messengers to inform us to break it! We are all disciples of Cangyun Ridge, are we not as upright as a native tribe?"

Hei Song immediately echoed, "That's right. If the envoy hadn't come, we might have been able to consider our previous plan. But now that the Jiang clan's envoy has come to inform us, we can secretly wipe out the Jiang clan's stronghold. We won't even need to spread the news. Once the sect's higher-ups find out, they will definitely punish us."

Just like people, there is fierce competition between sects.

Once a sect's reputation is severely damaged, the loss is not just of prestige, but of the continuous stream of new and talented disciples.

Imagine a public apprentice recruitment conference held every three years, where numerous sects set up recruitment sites in the capital city of a feudal lord. When faced with so many sects to choose from, will the talented young people from the surrounding regions be influenced by the recent trends of some sects?

Obviously yes.

You must understand that geniuses are all proud. Even if a sect isn't the best, its style must complement their personalities.

As the saying goes, even a petty person can dream of being a hero. How much more so a true gentleman?

After Ziyu said this, Ziyun finally understood why Ziyu and Hei Song hadn't agreed to the first strategy before.

"Haha, Senior Brother Ziyu's thinking is indeed thorough. We were a bit too eager for quick results. Compared to us third-generation disciples, the reputation of the sect is the most important thing."

Ziyun was the first to agree, and then all the disciples echoed her sentiments.

“That’s right. The fact that the little Jiang clan dares to set up such a powerful formation and asks us to break it shows that they are weak. We certainly wouldn’t dare to dishonor the sect’s dignity.”

"That's right, our strength far surpasses that of the Jiang family, so we should crush them fair and square!"

……

Ziyu and Heisong looked at these opportunists with disdain, but this was not the time to discuss such matters. Since the Jiang family dared to make such arrogant remarks, the disciples of Cangyun Ridge had no choice but to truly engage in the battle.

"Let's go to White Bone Peak and experience the so-called foundation of the Jiang Clan!" Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Ziyun shouted loudly. Immediately, all the disciples echoed her, and then the huge curtain rushed rapidly through the sky towards White Bone Peak where Chen Xuan and the others were.

This scene was also observed by Chen Xuan's divine sense.

He smiled and said, "Good timing."
