The fragrance wafted through the air before anyone arrived. A white dress fluttered lightly, causing even the dust on the ground to part and make way.
Cai Shujun remained as beautiful as a painting. After a month, her gaze had transformed from gentle and tender to one filled with a refreshing vigor. Hua Wanduo's words made Cai Shujun feel ashamed of herself, prompting her to retreat into seclusion for an entire month upon returning to the New Moon Sect.
After her seclusion, Qiu Wuling summoned all the Five Golden Flowers from Mistaken Sword Hall to accompany Cai Shujun into the Otherworldly Secret Realm.
Now, only four of the Five Golden Flowers had arrived; one would never return...
The New Moon Sect team consisted of six members, led by Cai Shujun. Three of the Five Flowers of the Mistaken Sword Hall followed closely behind, while the fourth, supporting the pale-faced Jiang Quan, walked slowly at the back. This fourth member was Impulsive Sister, Huang Chang.
On the surface, the New Moon Sect and Wuhua Island had equal numbers, but in reality, due to having to care for Jiang Quan—a burden—they could only spare four people for battle. However, with a strong figure like Cai Shujun present, no one dared to underestimate them.
The New Moon Sect stopped at the right side of the stone gate, facing Wuhua Island and occupying a favorable position.
Wuhua Island and New Moon Sect stood facing each other, merely ten meters apart. Hua Du had been defeated by Cai Shujun with a single sword strike at the Immortal Path Conference, leaving him humiliated. Yet today, he showed no signs of cowardice in front of Cai Shujun; it seemed he had not been idle this past month and had adjusted his mindset well.
The third team emerged: the Loose Cultivator Alliance, specifically Black Wind Stronghold.
Six men in black lined up neatly and hesitated briefly before positioning themselves on the left side between New Moon Sect and Wuhua Island.
Xu Feng remained atop a tree; although the Loose Cultivator Alliance was his team, he understood that it had already changed fundamentally. The six from Black Wind Stronghold had never intended to cooperate with Xu Feng and his group. They were arranged by Half-Dead Bao, none of whom Xu Feng recognized.
This time, Xu Feng truly became a loose cultivator.
"Everyone come over," Hua Du called out to those standing at the edge of the arena.
Aside from Wuhua Island, New Moon Sect, and Black Wind Stronghold, no other sects held any real power. Standing alone at the edge were merely two disciples from each remaining sect.
Gao Jingsong from Wan Jian Sect, Jindalai from Guo Shan Sword Sect, and Yi Jiuzhou from Star River Sword Sect—each was left with only one fellow disciple beside them. Along with Xu Feng perched atop the tree and another solitary disciple from Guiyi Sect, there were only eight individuals in total.
Except for Xu Feng, the other Seven People entered the square and stood in their respective places.
At this point, Xu Feng's understanding of the power distribution on the field became much clearer.
A disciple behind Hua Du suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone here, listen up! Right now, we from Wuhua Island are the strongest. When It Mountain Temple opens later, only we from Wuhua Island will be able to enter. You all should go back and save your lives for next time."
This statement drew a round of cold laughter from various factions.
Hua Du's expression turned cold as he shouted, "Song Li, I am in charge here. Who allowed you to speak? Step back!" Song Li lowered his head and retreated.
Hua Du did not expect this idiot to say something that would provoke everyone's anger, effectively pushing Wuhua Island into the position of a public enemy.
Sure enough, New Moon Sect was the first to retaliate. Huang Chang sneered, "If Wuhua Island is so strong, why not just kill us all now to avoid future troubles?"
Someone from Black Wind Stronghold also stepped forward and said, "The Loose Cultivator Alliance is not talented, but we would like to ask Wuhua Island for guidance."
Other factions also cast unfriendly glances.
Hua Du said seriously, "Wuhua Island has no intention of monopolizing It Mountain Spring. There is no need for everyone to be at odds with us. If anyone truly wants to oppose Wuhua Island, I am ready to accept that." His gaze was sharp and intimidating without showing anger.
Yi Jiuzhou said, "Each faction has people who will enter It Mountain Temple later; let's share it equally." This proposal immediately received support from several forces.
"Yes, everyone represents their sect; it should be shared equally."
"Wuhua Island cannot have it all to themselves."
"If pushed too hard, we could end up in a situation where everyone suffers and no one leaves safely."
"I don't care about anything else; if I don't get my share, it won't do."
Several cultivators with weak individual strength were pressuring each other with their words.
Both Black Wind Stronghold and New Moon Sect had the strength to contend with Wuhua Island, and they looked down on Wuhua Island.
"How about this? You Guiyi Sect, Wan Jian Sect, Star River Sword Sect, and Guo Shan Sword Sect form one group, standing alongside New Moon Sect, Wuhua Island, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We will split It Mountain Spring into four parts," Hua Du seemed to have made a significant concession.
"That's not acceptable," Song Li interjected, saying, "A bunch of small fry wanting to share It Mountain Spring? Let them eat dirt."
Hua Du did not get angry this time but questioned, "Song Li, have you lost your mind?"
The members of New Moon Sect and Black Wind Stronghold were visibly angry. A cultivator beside Jindalai jumped out and pointed at Wuhua Island, cursing loudly: "Wuhua Island is truly despicable; I'll take the first shot."
A cultivator next to Yi Jiuzhou also stepped forward and said, "This friend is right; Wuhua Island bullies others. We must unite to eliminate them."
The remaining cultivators from Guiyi Sect and the disciple beside Gao Jingsong directly joined the fray, showing their stance through action.
If these three took action, Yi Jiuzhou and Jindalai from their respective sects would undoubtedly join in to assist. A chaotic battle was imminent.
The others from Wuhua Island looked serious; they were all furious at the reckless Song Li. With New Moon Sect and Black Wind Stronghold eyeing them hungrily, they had become the target of everyone’s ire, all thanks to Song Li.
Huang Chang had long been simmering with anger. Seeing someone step forward, she immediately wanted to draw her sword and declare war on Wuhua Island. Cai Shujun quickly held her back and said, "Senior Sister, hold on; this matter seems more complicated than it appears." Cai Shujun had remained silent, calmly assessing the situation.
Song Li was undeterred as he stepped out of the Wuhua Island team, preparing to face four opponents alone. Such an act was akin to seeking death; he must either be insane or suffering from a severe condition.
"Wait," Hua Du, who was destined to be the future Island Master, saw that the situation was about to spiral out of control and would be very unfavorable for Wuhua Island. He immediately grabbed Song Li, who was moving forward.
Song Li struggled but could not break free and had no choice but to stop. However, this struggle caused Hua Du's expression to change instantly.
Hua Du was the leader of this expedition; all disciples were supposed to follow his command. He had already been displeased by Song Li's reckless words earlier. Now that Song Li acted independently again, Hua Du's authority was completely disregarded. Knowing he might not be able to stop him, he reached out to pull him back but did not expect Song Li to dare resist.
"Who are you!" Hua Du shouted, causing several disciples behind him to tremble and immediately step forward, glaring at Song Li, waiting for Hua Du's command to teach this Song Li a lesson.
The other cultivators in the square were taken aback by the scene. Who was fighting whom? They hadn't even started, and their own people were already in conflict. This is interesting; I like it.
All the factions secretly hoped for an internal conflict among Wuhua Island's disciples, wishing that three or five of them would perish.
Cai Shujun, however, glanced back intentionally or unintentionally and gently shook his head.
"Who am I?" Song Li said innocently, "I am Song Li. I've been at Wuhua Island for ten years now. You were only fifteen back then; you haven't forgotten me, have you?"
Hua Du released his grip on Song Li and took a step back. "I know you are Song Li, and I know you've been at Wuhua Island for ten years. But I don't know who sent you to Wuhua Island or what your purpose is."
At Hua Du's words, everyone was startled. Indeed, this Song Li seemed a bit unusual today, fanning the flames as if he couldn't wait for the factions to start fighting.
What exactly is this person’s purpose?
