Not only was Bai Yulin missing, but Ye Huan was also curious about the whereabouts of the Black Shadow Flower. As for the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, it seemed better not to mention its location to Ye Huan.
"You mean Bai Yulin? He left Yuxu Palace together with the Black Shadow Flower..."
Upon hearing Ye Huan mention Bai Yulin, Yu Wuxia's mind flashed back to the scene when Bai Yulin and his wife hurriedly departed from Yuxu Palace. If Yu Wuxia remembered correctly, they had left in quite a rush, as if someone were waiting for them outside Yuxu Palace. He recounted this detail to Ye Huan. Although Yu Wuxia was unaware of any other underlying stories, once Ye Huan listened carefully to what Yu Wuxia had said, he quickly grasped the couple's destination.
Without needing to ask, even by just thinking about it, Ye Huan could guess that they were likely taken by the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon to search for the Mother Dragon that it longed for.
‘Isn't the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon worried that its presence might stir up trouble in the Eastern State Cultivator Realm?’
Habitually furrowing his brow, Ye Huan felt particularly concerned about the whereabouts of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon and its companions after recovering his strength. Fortunately, these individuals were not weak; even if their true identities were discovered in the Eastern State, as long as they weren't surrounded by countless cultivators, they should be able to escape.
Trying to shake off thoughts of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon and its group, Ye Huan realized there was something more important he needed to discuss with Yu Wuxia—issues regarding the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
For now, it was true that only six of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors remained. However, with Jin Ling publicly rescuing Ye Huan, their previous arrangement had effectively fallen apart. Moreover, Gu Long had yet to arrive. It was said that a dead camel is still bigger than a horse; if Gu Long gathered with the other Six Protectors of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they would still pose a significant threat.
After sharing his deductions with Yu Wuxia, he noticed her frown deepening even more than his own had been. Yet as Ye Huan pointed out, if Gu Long and the Six Protectors of the Heavenly Dragon Sect came together to attack Yuxu Palace, their current strength would be insufficient to fend off such an assault.
"Ye Huan, what do you think we should do?"
After a long pause without coming up with a solution to their predicament, Yu Wuxia looked at Ye Huan for help. Noticing the question in her eyes made Ye Huan smile wryly; after all, if he had a solid plan, why would he have gone through so much trouble to activate the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation?
The Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation was not functioning as Ye Huan had anticipated; it was essentially just a decoration. While it might serve well to intimidate others, using it to defend Yuxu Palace was nothing short of a delusion.
“If it comes to that, even if all the elites of Yuxu Palace must be mobilized, we have to eliminate the remaining Six Protectors of the Heavenly Dragon Sect before Gu Long arrives…”
With no other options left, Ye Huan proposed a desperate plan. Originally, he did not want to resort to such measures for the future of Yuxu Palace, but at this point, how could they talk about the future when they couldn't even protect Yuxu Palace?
Upon hearing Ye Huan's words, Yu Wuxia was momentarily stunned. As the leader of Yuxu Palace, Yu Wuxia had considered the very plan Ye Huan suggested. Even if all the elites of Yuxu Palace could kill the remaining six Guardians of Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong, it was uncertain whether they could succeed. Even if they did manage to kill those six Guardians, Yuxu Palace would likely suffer severe losses and could very well fall from being a top-tier sect in Eastern State to a third-rate one.
“This…”
After much hesitation, Yu Wuxia still couldn't make up his mind. He seemed to age ten years in an instant, and Ye Huan felt equally troubled. However, overall, Ye Huan leaned towards encouraging Yu Wuxia to take a gamble because even if Yuxu Palace were to drop from being a top-tier sect in Eastern State to a third-rate one, it would still be better than having Yuxu Palace cease to exist altogether.
The more resolute his thoughts became, the more Ye Huan urged Yu Wuxia: “Elder Yu, what is meant to be will be. Instead of waiting here helplessly, it would be better to fight for it. If we win, Yuxu Palace will no longer fear Heavenly Dragon Sect. Even if we lose, what could be worse for you than Yuxu Palace being erased from Eastern State?”
As soon as Ye Huan finished speaking, one of the elders behind Yu Wuxia could no longer hold back and interjected: “Ye Huan, don't you think that's a bit exaggerated? Can Heavenly Dragon Sect really erase us from existence just with Gu Long and six Guardians? I doubt it.”
“Ha! You’re oblivious even at death’s door. I truly don’t know what else to say. It’s not me trying to scare you elders of Yuxu Palace; you’ve seen the strength of those Ten Protectors of Heavenly Dragon Sect. Who among you dares claim that you can defeat any one of their Guardians in a one-on-one fight?”
With a cold smile, Ye Huan turned his gaze toward the elder who had just spoken. Noticing the defiance on the faces of the elders behind Yu Wuxia, he laid out the harsh truth without reservation and even posed questions to them.
In contrast, the elders standing behind Yu Wuxia fell into silence after hearing Ye Huan’s words. Their silence ultimately solidified Yu Wuxia's resolve. In a moment of life and death, rather than waiting for doom, it was better to fight back; if they lost, Yuxu Palace would cease to exist; if they won, there might still be hope for survival!
“Convey my orders: all elders and disciples of Yuxu Palace are to gather at the training grounds!”
With his right hand clenched into a fist, Yu Wuxia made up his mind and swiftly conveyed the orders, prompting the elders of Yuxu Palace to exchange glances. However, due to Yu Wuxia's position as the leader and their responsibilities as elders, they ultimately said nothing and chose to follow his arrangements. This clearly showed that they regarded Yuxu Palace as their second home.
'This battle might very well be the last for these old fellows.'
As he watched the elders of Yuxu Palace slowly making their way to the training grounds, Ye Huan felt an inexplicable sense of solemnity wash over him, reminiscent of the lines, "The wind howls coldly at the Yi River; the brave warrior departs and never returns." Struggling to suppress this strange feeling, Ye Huan pondered whether he should find some useful Arms from the Summoning Book to equip them. Even if these Arms didn't prove to be of great significance, at least they would be better than nothing, right?
