My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 291 - 159: Rescuing Luoyun Sect [First Update]

Chapter 291: Chapter 159: Rescuing Luoyun Sect [First Update]

"What? Who did you say sent the invitation?" Luo Hu looked at the disciple kneeling on the ground, full of disbelief.

"It—it was sent by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect." The disciple tremblingly held up the invitation with both hands and handed it to Luo Hu, not daring to look at Luo Hu’s expression.

Luo Hu still couldn’t believe his ears. He turned around and looked at the five elders behind him, finding their expressions also unpleasant. Especially the Third Elder, who just disagreed with the Great Elder’s proposal, had a pale face, trembling lips, and even dilated pupils.

He turned back again and looked at the invitation in the disciple’s hand. It was a black invitation with a skull drawn in cinnabar, the mark of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Though unwilling, his trembling hand still took the invitation from the disciple and opened it. After reading the content inside, he threw the invitation aside, staggered a step back, then fell to the ground, unable to care about anything else.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were unfocused, muttering to himself, "It’s over, this time it’s really over, our Luoyun Sect is truly done for, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect wants to destroy our Luoyun Sect!"

Hearing his words, whether it was the disciple still kneeling on the ground or the elders sitting in chairs, their faces instantly turned ghostly pale, showing a look of extreme shock. The disciple even fainted on the spot, but unfortunately, no one paid attention to him at the moment.

"How could this be? Why would the Ten Thousand Demon Sect focus on a small sect like ours?" The Third Elder sat in the chair, gripping the clothes on his thighs tightly, murmuring in disbelief.

The other elders were also shocked by this matter and naturally couldn’t answer his question, but he wasn’t asking for answers, already immersed in his own world, ignoring others.

However, the Great Elder, due to his age and experience, quickly calmed down after the initial panic. He suddenly stood up, ignoring the chair knocked over behind him, and took two steps forward to Luo Hu.

"Sect Leader, there’s no time to lose. We should quickly arrange for the elite disciples to leave, and for the rest, whoever can escape should. Our Luoyun Sect cannot just disappear like this!" The Great Elder worriedly said to Luo Hu.

Jolted awake by the Great Elder’s words, Luo Hu also came to his senses. Now was not the time for wild thoughts; as the Sect Leader of Luoyun Sect, he must pull himself together.

"Right, right, those elite disciples must leave quickly, the more that can escape, the better. We can’t let them all die here!" A sudden brightness appeared in his eyes as he followed the Great Elder’s words.

Being targeted by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the possibility of Luoyun Sect’s survival was almost nil. Under such circumstances, they must find a way to let those talented disciples escape, at least keeping some kind of spark for the Luoyun Sect, hoping that one day it could rise again.

Aside from the Third Elder, the other elders recomposed themselves and nodded in agreement.

Thus, they no longer deliberated but went out separately, finding their disciples, instructing them carefully, and giving them life-saving talismans and elixirs, urging them to flee quickly.

In no time, news of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s plan to deal with the Luoyun Sect spread throughout the sect, causing a panic. Apart from the Sect Leader and a few elders, the disciples hurriedly packed their belongings, hoping to leave before the Ten Thousand Demon Sect arrived, hoping to save their lives.

And Luo Hu and the others did not stop them. They knew they couldn’t withstand the Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s attack, and keeping the disciples there to die was meaningless. Being elders of the Luoyun Sect, they had deep feelings for it and naturally couldn’t leave, but they didn’t require others to stay!

However, when those disciples attempted to flee with their belongings, they found they couldn’t get out, as the whole Luoyun Sect was already surrounded, confined to the mountain where the sect was located.

"Master, what do we do? Our mountain gate has been trapped by an array, and we can’t get out." Luo Hu’s first disciple, Zhou Yichen, ran back to Luo Hu’s side, expressing worry.

Luo Hu was equally taken aback. Just as he hadn’t expected the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to move against them, he hadn’t expected them to act so quickly, sealing off their mountain gate. They were trapped, unable to flee, no wonder the Ten Thousand Demon Sect sent the invitation early, likely to watch them panic and despair when finding they couldn’t escape!

"Since we can’t run, we’ll stay and fight the Ten Thousand Demon Sect with our master. Even if we fail, we’ll die together!" Luo Hu’s second disciple, a woman named Luo Xi, who Luo Hu had taken in and given his surname, looked outside and spoke firmly.

She hadn’t wanted to run in the first place, preferring to stand by Luo Hu, but he mentioned that if they left, Luoyun Sect might have a chance to rebuild in the future, so she agreed to leave. Now, finding she couldn’t escape, she felt relief instead.

The other disciples, hearing this, exchanged glances and supported Luo Xi’s words, deeply moving Luo Hu and the others.

...

Just when Luo Hu and his group were preparing for a desperate struggle, Gu Qingqing and their group also arrived outside the Luoyun Sect.

"Is this the Luoyun Sect?" Gu Qingqing looked at the small mountain not far away and asked.

"Based on the location, it should be." Yue Zhao thought for a moment about the map he had seen and nodded.

"It seems the people from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect have already arrived. Luckily, we sped up; otherwise, it would have been too late." Nan Hua glanced at the mountain gate of the Luoyun Sect, raised an eyebrow, and said with slight surprise.

"Hmm? Third Brother, how did you find out?" Gu Qingqing turned to Nan Hua, asking curiously.

"Look, there’s a layer of array outside the Luoyun Sect, it’s a trapping array, meant to trap the people inside, and I saw the emblem of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect." Nan Hua pointed to a flagpole not far away, on which flew a flag with a black background and a red skull, the emblem of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Gu Qingqing and their group took a closer look and indeed found the flag and the array. Gu Qingqing gave Nan Hua a thumbs up, receiving a smile from Nan Hua in return.

"Since the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is already here, let’s not delay. We can’t let anything happen to the Luoyun Sect people." Si Lin glanced toward the direction of the flag and reached out, with the Dragon Capturing Sword appearing in his hand, "Nan Hua, go break the array, the others follow me to deal with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!"

"Yes." Gu Qingqing and their group responded in unison, following Si Lin.

Though there were only seven in Si Lin’s group this time, five of them had cultivation at the Half-step Immortal Rank, and two others were at the peak of the ninth rank. In the Sub-immortal Realm, this was already a highly configured team, even if the Ten Thousand Demon Sect sent many people, at most one might be at the Half-step Immortal Rank, they were simply no match for Si Lin’s group!

As expected by Si Lin’s group, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was led by one of their elders this time, named Jin Xi, whose cultivation was exactly at the Half-step Immortal Rank, and the rest had an average cultivation around the eighth rank. Such a team could easily deal with a small sect like the Luoyun Sect, but when facing Si Lin’s group, they were simply not strong enough!

Jin Xi was sitting in a pavilion at the foot of the Luoyun Sect mountain, sipping tea and waiting for the right moment. He had a habit of enjoying the sight of his opponents in despair, which was why he had sent a notice to the Luoyun Sect people earlier, just to make them flee. However, he also set up an array outside, so they couldn’t escape, naturally filling them with despair, the sight he wanted to see.

He drank a sip of tea, looked up to check the time, thinking it was about time to send the Luoyun Sect people on their way. Just as he stood up to instruct his followers to act, he felt an astonishing Sword Qi attacking him, so he grabbed a subordinate and threw him out, taking the opportunity to dodge.

After descending from the Flying Artifact, Si Lin slashed his sword towards the pavilion where Jin Xi and his group were. His true intent was to leave Jin Xi and his followers with nowhere to hide, while the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciple pulled by Jin Xi became the scapegoat, killed by Si Lin’s sword strike without even realizing what happened.

This sudden change made the nearby disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect tense as they raised their weapons and watched Si Lin’s group warily.

Meanwhile, Jin Xi leaped into the air, confronting Si Lin from a distance.

"I’ll handle this guy, the rest are yours, make it quick!" Si Lin called back to Yue Zhao and the others, then charged towards Jin Xi.

Yue Zhao and the others nodded, landing on the ground and engaging in battle with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples.

As someone with the Innate Sword Body, Si Lin’s swordsmanship was inherently stronger than others. After entering the Half-step Immortal Rank, his expertise in swordsmanship reached a new realm. Even though Jin Xi had been in the Half-step Immortal Rank for much longer, Si Lin was still able to fight evenly with him.

As for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples, they were not even worth mentioning.

Yue Zhao’s slender hands danced over the Flowing Light Zither, producing a melodious piano sound that for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples was a spell of doom. The invisible Sound Blades gave them no shelter, quickly taking down many.

Mu Chen’s Red Flame Spear swiped and swept, creating walls of fire on the ground. The Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples hadn’t even the chance to scream before being engulfed by the flames, perishing.

The Heavenly Awakening Record floated above Rong Ye’s head, directing talismans to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples. Lightning, flames, freezing... these effects unleashed upon them, leaving them unable to resist.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu coordinated well, one using the Mixed Immortal Silk to bind them while the other followed up with scimitars, cutting down the lives of their opponents swiftly, dispatching many Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples in no time.

In mid-air, seeing this scene, Jin Xi’s pupils trembled, looking at Si Lin with a hostile gaze, "Who are you people? Even daring to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?"
