My Master Knows It All

As this multitude of alien cultivators took action, the entire scene became incredibly chaotic.

Cao Zhen looked at the suddenly appearing cultivators, his heart heavy with worry. Given his reputation, how could these cultivators not strike against the Hundred Peaks Sect once they entered the Eastern Province?

Yet, like everyone else, he could not break through to leave. Too many aliens had arrived!

Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, disciples from both Hundred Peaks Sect and Extreme Formation Sect quickly escaped through the Extreme Formation Sect’s great formation.

The weather had turned chilly, and the autumn bleakness made the atmosphere within the Hundred Peaks Sect even more somber.

Many disciples, upon stepping onto the Extreme Formation Sect’s great formation, turned their heads back, looking fondly at this place where they had lived, at every tree and plant.

As they left, they didn’t know when they would return; they didn’t know if they would have the opportunity to come back, nor did they know what the Hundred Peaks Alliance would look like if they did return.

Would their mountain gate still be there? Would their peaks still exist?

Would their Spirit Mountain, their Immortal Palaces, all be destroyed!

All around, the sounds of wailing and crying continued, many had already collapsed.

Yet there were still quite a few disciples standing here, refusing to leave.

”We cannot leave! We cannot let these aliens destroy our Great Teaching! This is our root, our home, we must fight!”

”Yes, even if I die, I will die within our Great Teaching, die to protect it!”

”That’s right, if we leave, where can we go? By then, the entire Human Clan will be overwhelmed by aliens, and we all will die. Given this, why not stay in the Great Teaching and fight to the last moment!”

Their voices had just risen when Nie Jie’s reprimanding voice was heard.

Although Nie Jie was the Vice Sect Hierarch within the Hundred Peaks Sect, he always greeted everyone with a smile. But now, he showed unprecedented seriousness and authority.

”Stay? What use is there for you to stay? You staying won’t threaten them in the slightest.

Besides, your Peak Master, your elders—though they had the chance to flee, none chose to escape. They all held their ground at the mountain gate of our Hundred Peaks Sect.

Do you not understand why they are doing this? They are doing it for you, to buy time for you to escape!

Because you are young, because you are the hope of our Hundred Peaks Sect!

I know you hate this, I know you want to kill the enemy. Do I not hate them as well? Am I a coward? I’ve been in the Hundred Peaks Sect longer than you, I want to see the fate of the Hundred Peaks Sect even more.

But I must leave, because I need to take you with me, to preserve the flame of our Hundred Peaks Sect.

As long as the Human Clan remains unconquered, we still have hope. When we regather our strength, we will return to avenge our fallen sect.

Now, everyone leave the Great Teaching, do not let the steadfastness of our elders become meaningless!”

Each disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect was already shedding tears.

Leave!

They truly did not want to leave, did not want to witness the destruction of the place they loved. But they also knew that the Vice Sect Hierarch was right, leaving was the best choice. Everything was for the Hundred Peaks Sect!

At the same time, their hearts were full of guilt. If their cultivation base was higher, if they were stronger, if they were as strong as masters from Four Treasures Peak, they would not need to leave!

All because they were not strong enough!

They were angry, unwilling, but they knew that leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect was their only path now.

At the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect, due to the strikes from the Sky Encompassing Ten Thousand Immortals Star Gathering Formation, many experts on the alien side were killed, relieving much pressure for everyone, but only slightly.

As a crowd of alien cultivators once again launched an attack, the Mountain Protection Array began to look precarious.

Slowly, more cracks appeared in the array, and within it, weaker earth immortal cultivators fainted from the terrifying impacts, some even bleeding from their seven orifices and died.

Generally speaking, cultivators within an unbroken formation shouldn’t die, but the gap in strength was too large. They were only earth immortal cultivators, while those besieging them were from the true immortal realm.

The formation might block attacks from the enemy, but such attacks blocked by the formation still exert some force that has to be absorbed by those defending it.

If they were true immortal cultivators, they’d naturally withstand it, but they were mere earth immortal cultivators, a realm short of immortality regainment, how could they withstand it!

Even among the immortality regainment realm cultivators, now many were coughing up blood.

Yet even so, none chose to flee.

Behind them the Great Teaching was their faith, their root; it was the existence of the Great Teaching that gave them the strength to persevere and navigate the arduous path of cultivation step by step.

In the defense battle, regardless of whether they were cultivators from Extreme Formation Sect or Hundred Peaks Sect, each person was willing to offer their life to the Great Teaching. To safeguard the Great Teaching’s security, they spared no cost, even their own lives.
