Chapter 738: Chapter 245: Old Foxes, All a Pack of Old Foxes!

Nearby, there were also some people from the Golden Thunder Sect and Phecda Sect, stealthily observing in the shadows.

At this moment, ripples emerged at the mountain gate, and Immortal Xuan You appeared, walking out alone.

Clad in a white robe, her garment billowed in the wind, yet it could not conceal the fatigue and loneliness emanating from her.

Especially when she saw the densely packed disciples on the warship, all emotionally charged, and the Divinity Transformation Realm experts far exceeding those of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, Immortal Xuan You felt a sharp pain in her heart and showed a look of despair.

She took a deep breath, summoned her strength, and stepped into the sky.

Looking at Cao Zhengyang, whose face was sullen, Immortal Xuan You slowly bent down and saluted.

"Cao, I didn’t expect that our meeting again would be under such circumstances!"

Immortal Xuan You spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.

Cao Zhengyang waved his hand, and a chair formed by spiritual power instantly appeared behind him.

He turned around, sat with dominance, then slightly tilted his head, his gaze as sharp as a hawk’s, coldly staring at Immortal Xuan You.

"Xuan You, at this point, what do you have to say? Your Cyan Feather Immortal Sect harmed our sect’s Director and attempted to murder the next Sect Leader. Such heinous acts deserve punishment!"

Cao Zhengyang’s voice was like rolling thunder, echoing across the land, rousing countless disciples of the Taiqing Sect to glare fiercely, their eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Immortal Xuan You did not refute but slowly shifted her gaze to Zhou Qing standing beside Cao Zhengyang, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"This was my fault; I apologize to Zhou!"

She bit her lip lightly and bowed respectfully to Zhou Qing.

"I’m sorry, Zhou Qing, we were wrong in this matter!" Immortal Xuan You lowered her posture, her long hair cascading like a waterfall as she bowed in apology.

Zhou Qing furrowed his brow slightly.

Cao Zhengyang snorted coldly: "An apology? If apologies were effective, what use would the rules of the Taiqing Sect be?"

Immortal Xuan You then slowly stood up, full of helplessness, pleading, "I know this battle is unavoidable, and it’s our own fault, but could you allow me to say a few words?"

Cao Zhengyang hesitated briefly, his gaze scanning Immortal Xuan You as if weighing something.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "Go ahead." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Immortal Xuan You took a deep breath, her chest slightly heaving.

"In this battle between the two sects, our defeat is certain, but to become one of the five major sects of the Eastern Domain and stand tall for thousands of years, our foundation is not something others can easily fathom or measure."

As she spoke, her eyes turned to the Peak Masters of the Taiqing Sect on the deck.

"If we stage a desperate counterattack, even if we cannot achieve a one-to-one exchange, making you lose thirty to forty percent should still be possible."

Immortal Xuan You’s eyes flashed with determination as she spoke.

"In such a scenario, Cangyan Daoist Palace, the Golden Thunder Sect, and Phecda Sect would surely be delighted to see us both suffer damage."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengyang raised his eyebrows.

He completely believed this; every sect had its secrets and legacies, and ancestors left all sorts of life-saving measures for future generations in case of emergencies.

At this moment, hesitation flashed in Cao Zhengyang’s eyes, clearly struck by Immortal Xuan You’s words.

Immortal Xuan You continued, speaking slowly but with words sharp as knives.

"So, how do you plan to divide the remaining fifty to sixty percent of our sect? Or rather, can you seize it from the Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation cultivators of those Outer Sects behind us?"

Turning slightly, Immortal Xuan You looked at the sect members from other dominions observing from afar.

A bunch of vultures wanting to take advantage of the situation.

"My Cyan Feather Immortal Sect’s mines, shops, and other sect assets, do the other three sects wish to let you take them over smoothly and then watch as your resources grow?"

Immortal Xuan You’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm as she looked toward the spies from the Three Sects lurking around.

Cao Zhengyang remained silent. These post-war complex interest entanglements had already been discussed, and they had prepared for the worst.

In the next instant, with a sudden shift in tone, Immortal Xuan You spoke.

"Oh, I almost forgot, just two days ago, I had the sect’s Elders take away all the resources that could be carried away. Even if you invade, you’d only gain an empty shell of a territory, which seems to be worthless now."

At this, Cao Zhengyang and others showed displeasure, but understanding from their perspective was also possible.

Seeing the unpleasant expressions on everyone, Immortal Xuan You remained calm, unhurriedly taking out a completely dark Token.

Once activated, the ripples appeared again at the mountain gate. They expanded until they disappeared, revealing the full view of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.

"Now, within the sect, only less than thirty percent of disciples are left, willing to live and die with the sect. I have honestly tried my best!"

Immortal Xuan You’s voice was low, carrying a tinge of sorrow.

"And those who left will scatter across the Eastern Domain. They will become people with no support, and they might act recklessly."

Immortal Xuan You looked mournful.

Cao Zhengyang stood up, staring directly at her.

"Are you threatening me?" Cao Zhengyang’s voice was icy.

Immortal Xuan You immediately shook her head and said, "You misunderstand, you and I have lived for thousands of years, some things should be understood."

"Even if they know it’s my fault as the sect leader initially, and everything was brought upon ourselves."

"But when faced with certain survival choices, they will naturally overlook this and attribute their misfortune to the Taiqing Sect, seeking revenge."
