Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this news.

Li Guanqi turned to look at the ruins beside him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The once majestic mountain gate was now a pile of rubble.

The entire square of Sky Sword Peak was shattered, and half of the mountain had collapsed.

But these things were insignificant compared to the deaths of the sect's fellow disciples.

Walking on the blue brick road of the sect, everyone was silent, looking at the bloodstains on the ground.

Everyone changed into black robes and silently walked towards the back mountain.

There, all those who slept were considered the heroic spirits of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Soon, the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect arrived at the location of the sect's cemetery.

The densely packed disciples in black robes almost filled the back mountain.

Yet, even so, no one flew in the air; they just stood silently in place.

Lu Kangnian, whose face was as pale as paper, seemed to have recovered somewhat.

He slowly walked to the front of everyone, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at the dozens of new graves in front of him.

Snap!

He was even unfamiliar with the names engraved on these tombstones.

Lu Kangnian led all the sect disciples in a silent salute.

They bowed three times and silently placed the best mountain spring incense in front of each tombstone.

Qin Xian said in a low voice, "Hold your swords to your chests! Pay your respects in silence!"

Clang! Rattle!!

The usually sharp sound of swords now seemed somewhat muffled.

Everyone drew their swords and placed them against their chests!

They lowered their heads and mourned in silence.

Boom!!!

After a long time, the silent Lu Kangnian suddenly raised his head!

"Disciples of all peaks, listen to my command!"

"Today, Purple Sun has gone too far in bullying us; how can we allow them to manipulate us!"

"In one hour, we will point our swords at Purple Sun Hall!!"

"Since this war must be fought, let's completely subdue them!"

"Perhaps we will lose, perhaps some will die."

"But today! We will let all the heroes of the Northern Region see the unyielding Great Xia Sword Sect!"

"Before dawn, we must plant the banner of the Great Xia Sword Sect on the ruins of Purple Sun Hall!!!!!"

His voice, mixed with Yuan energy, was awe-inspiring!!

The anger that had been rising in everyone during the mourning was instantly ignited.

Li Guanqi's heart was deeply moved, and he murmured in an impassioned voice.

"I use my body to forge unyielding spirit!"

"I use my blood to inscribe the sect's will!"

"I am willing to use my sword to kill all enemies!"

"We, who have been baptized by the flames of war, will be closely linked to the Great Xia Sword Sect."

"Everything we do today, when we look back tomorrow, will inevitably be… unparalleled… glory!!"

The sonorous and forceful murmurs spread further and further.

The heartfelt words almost instantly infected all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

It was as if everything they had experienced today had caused a tremendous change in them.

Like now, everyone's hearts seemed to be connected.

Perhaps there had been some friction between the peaks in the past.

But today, they were willing to expose their backs and fight with confidence for their fellow disciples.

The feeling was like a couple arguing; we can argue ourselves, but if outsiders point fingers, then we will unite against them.

Gradually, this voice converged into a torrent of steel!

Countless people were roaring at the top of their lungs!

The backbone and soul of a sect were completely awakened in the hearts of the disciples of all peaks at this moment!!

Since Lu Kangnian had decided to counterattack Purple Sun Hall before dawn, he had prepared himself for sacrifice!

Lu Kangnian's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and he asked softly.

"Do you know why I made this decision?"

"We have clearly won, having repelled the Purple Sun Hall, which is several times stronger than us in the eyes of the outside world."

"Why would I risk paying an even greater price in casualties to decide to counterattack?"

All the disciples remained silent, although many of them also had this question in their hearts.

"Elder Ling also asked me why I was doing this when I had just woken up."

"I told him that just repelling Purple Sun Hall is not enough!"

"Not enjoyable enough! Not ruthless enough! Not painful enough!"

"I want to make them hurt! Subdue them! Crush them!!"

"I want to plant the banner of the Great Xia Sword Sect on the ruins of Purple Sun Hall!!"

"Tell me!! Can we do it!!!"

Instantly, the resounding answer shook the heavens!!

"We can!!!"

Lu Kangnian waved his hand, and thousands of jade slips suddenly floated above his head!!

Li Guanqi, standing in front, looked up at this scene, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know why the sect master would take out so many disciple jade slips at this time.

However, the group of elders beside Li Guanqi all showed expressions of excitement at this moment.

Li Nanting looked up at the jade slips in the sky and said softly.

"Those jade slips are the jade slips of disciples who have left the sect within the last hundred years."

"The sect will not interfere with disciples who have left the sect for more than a hundred years."

"When the sect is in trouble, all disciples are summoned back!"

"This is an unwritten rule of the Great Xia Sword Sect, but it has been silently passed down for more than five thousand years!"

Boom!!!

Wild pressure shook the void, and a rare look of majesty appeared on Lu Kangnian's resolute face!

His sonorous voice sternly shouted: "In the name of the thirty-eighth generation sect master, I summon all disciples who have gone out to return!"

Speaking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Lu Kangnian's eyes.

After a slight pause, he roared.

"RAZE! PURPLE! SUN! HALL!!!"

Boom!!!

In an instant, countless Yuan energy spiritual lights shot into the jade slips!!

However, these densely packed sect jade slips were all extremely dim.

One breath… two breaths… three breaths…

Suddenly!

One of the jade slips suddenly burst out with dazzling light!

A slightly steady voice suddenly came from the jade slip!

"Ji Hua, a disciple of Sky Gold Peak. Swords rise at Purple Sun Hall!!"

Immediately afterwards, the originally dim sect jade slips flickered one after another!!

"Duan Chunqiu, a traveling disciple of Sky Wood Peak, return quickly!"

"Great Xia Sword Sect disciple, Lü Yiyao, return quickly!"

"Disciple Zong Hui, return quickly!"

"Ding Yang, an outgoing disciple of Sky Thunder Peak, swords rise at Purple Sun Hall!!"

"……"

One voice after another sounded continuously!

Among the densely packed jade slips, some were also dim and lifeless.

But everyone believed that these people did not want to reply.

Perhaps… these people were no longer able to reply.

Everyone watched this scene with tears in their eyes.

Li Nanting turned to look at Li Guanqi and the others, and said softly.

"Do you know why we must protect your identity jade slips?"

"Not only will the sect be able to contact you when it is in trouble."

"But also when you are wronged outside, the sect can be your strongest support!"

Lu Kangnian's eyes were slightly red, and he slowly put away all the jade slips.

He said in a deep voice: "Please bring out the Eight Gods Array-Breaking Ballista!!"
