As time passed by, when the lights drew closer to Yuxu Peak, Ye Huan's hand gripping the M4A1 assault rifle was drenched in sweat. From this distance, he could clearly see that the newcomers were indeed a group of Cultivators riding Flying Swords. Notably, all of these Cultivators were wearing the Dao Robes of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and there were hundreds of them. The leaders, dressed in black robes, were clearly not to be trifled with.
"Prepare for battle!"
Using the scope on his M4A1, Ye Huan locked onto one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators. He shouted fiercely because, although he had not found the D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet where the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was hiding, given Yu Wuxia's severe injuries, if he couldn't stop this group of Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators and receive support from the elders of Yuxu Palace, then the situation for the disciples below the second generation of Yuxu Palace would be dire. They could easily be killed in close combat, and even Yuxu Peak itself might fall to their relentless advance.
"Young Master, didn't we agree to leave Yuxu Palace? If we clash with the Heavenly Dragon Sect now, we might not even be able to leave!"
Hearing Ye Huan's command to prepare for battle and his unwavering tone, Black Shadow Flower seemed genuinely eager to leave Yuxu Palace. She continuously urged him, addressing him as 'Young Master.' Even though Ye Huan had previously not responded to her words, she took it as an acknowledgment that he agreed to leave Yuxu Palace. However, according to Black Shadow Flower, even if they did leave right now, Gu Long, whom Ye Huan had injured, would definitely not let them go. Ye Huan understood this better than anyone.
"Leave? No way! We will either live or die together with Yuxu Palace!"
Suddenly standing up from a pile of Arms, Ye Huan's earlier hesitation vanished after hearing Black Shadow Flower's words. He decisively pulled the trigger on the grenade launcher attached to his M4A1. A flash of fire erupted as a grenade shot into the air and exploded violently. Although this explosion was too far away to inflict any substantial damage on the Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators, it forced them to halt their advance. At that moment, there was still less than a kilometer between the Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators and Yuxu Peak.
"See? I told you Young Master is not the kind of person you think he is. Now do you believe me?"
Seemingly satisfied with Ye Huan's actions, Bai Yulin approached Black Shadow Flower and provocatively remarked this. This elicited a cold snort from Black Shadow Flower. It appeared that these two had been testing whether Ye Huan would abandon Yuxu Palace. After all, if Ye Huan chose to leave Yuxu Palace to avoid making too many enemies, it wouldn't be long before he would also abandon his subordinates for his own safety. However, this trial was enough to show that Black Shadow Flower's earlier worries were unfounded; Ye Huan was not at all the person she thought he was.
"Looks like I'm unlucky for choosing a man who insists on serving others while helping them deal with me..."
Muttering to herself after Ye Huan fired the first shot, Black Shadow Flower felt somewhat displeased by Bai Yulin's words. She began rummaging through the pile of Arms and quickly found a modified M60 machine gun. Paired with her black bustier and ultra-short skirt, she looked like a battlefield vixen. Fortunately for her, her current husband was Bai Yulin, a Tenth-Level Beast; otherwise, an ordinary man would struggle to handle such a woman.
"I'm not helping anyone deal with you; aren't we just discussing the matter at hand? Forget it, forget it, let's get ready to start!"
With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Bai Yulin listened carefully to what Black Shadow Flower had said. However, given the current situation, he had no opportunity to explain himself to Black Shadow Flower and could only mimic her actions as he rummaged through the pile of Arms.
"Hey, what's this? It looks pretty impressive..."
Soon, he found a six-barreled machine gun that resembled a Gatling gun among Ye Huan's pile of Arms. Bai Yulin was instantly intrigued and tried to lift it. To his surprise, it was incredibly heavy—he guessed it weighed nearly two hundred pounds.
"Heavy, isn't it? That's a modified version of the Gatling gun, specifically designed for those who are naturally strong. Oh, and by the way, that's the true Fire God Cannon."
Noticing Bai Yulin picking up the Gatling gun, Ye Huan explained its characteristics. Ye Huan knew so much about it because it was identical to the one used by the male lead in a movie they had watched together. He had even stored it in his Spatial Ring for emergencies.
"The Fire God Cannon... this belongs to me now!"
Bai Yulin hoisted the Gatling gun with enthusiasm; it was clear he liked this somewhat cumbersome weapon. In addition, both Black Shadow Flower and Bai Yulin donned bulletproof vests and selected several suitable close-combat Arms, indicating their intention to hold the front line at Yuxu Palace alongside Ye Huan.
Throwing them a grateful glance, Ye Huan understood that Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower were not disciples of Yuxu Palace. Their decision to stand by him in such circumstances was already a significant help. Not to mention, they were facing a group of powerful Cultivators who posed a real danger to their lives.
Naturally oblivious to the meaning behind Ye Huan's gaze, Bai Yulin had no intention of leaving since he started following Ye Huan. However, seeing so many Cultivators in the sky made him feel somewhat uneasy. He hurriedly asked Ye Huan, "Ye Huan, should we start attacking now or what?"
"Don't move until the enemy does. Even if we do engage, we should wait until that group of Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators gets closer. Let's observe for a while first!"
Shifting his gaze back to the group of Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators in the distant sky, Ye Huan adhered to the principle of delaying action. But just as he finished speaking, a man in black leisurely flew out from among the Heavenly Dragon Sect Cultivators, instantly capturing the attention of Ye Huan and the others...
