Luoxia Bamboo Island...
Under the moonlight, the lake waves surged, crashing against the rocky shore, and in a bamboo house originally meant for Yu Xuanwei, many senior members of the Nanwu Sword Sect were gathered.
The Grand Elder was present, even Sword Master Kuye and Meng Popo were there.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating not only the solemn and serious faces of the senior members but also the list of elite seeds on the table.
This list was originally prepared for the younger elite members of the sect to retreat with Yu Xuanwei in the event of failure at the "Jingzhe Battle".
These people were also the hope for the revival of the Nanwu Sword Sect.
The Grand Elder looked at Yu Xuanwei sternly and asked, "Did you really see Song Yan annihilate Gu Huangzi with your own eyes?"
Yu Xuanwei nodded, then tried to describe the scene at that time, but soon found it extremely difficult.
Because the confrontation between Song Yan and Gu Huangzi ended in a very short time, the intricacies of the process she did not fully understand.
After hearing the description, everyone became even more serious.
An Elder sighed, "That demon Song is cunning and deceitful, incredibly terrifying. Nowadays, he should be considered the greatest cultivator of our Three Kingdoms, and no one can oppose him."
The Grand Elder said, "But Song the demon differs from Gu Huangzi. He is both righteous and evil, with unpredictable intentions. For example, during this Jingzhe Konglan Mountain battle, had it not been for his warning, we would have already been destroyed.
Furthermore, Xuanwei, if it weren’t for his timely reminder for you to use the Memory Jade, it would have been difficult against the monsters of the Fox and Wolf races."
Yu Xuanwei said, "Grand Elder, I observed that although Song Yan’s magic was terrifying, it vaguely had some shadows of our Sword Sect. Is it possible he’s a predecessor of our Sword Sect, who took over someone and cultivated anew?"
The Grand Elder asked, "What shadows?"
Yu Xuanwei immediately described the "Sword Evil Demon Dragon" scene she witnessed.
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, such a terrifying secret technique that blends righteousness and evil, even though it’s using a sword, it might not necessarily be from our Sword Sect. It could be something Song the demon obtained from elsewhere or... learned before taking over."
Yu Xuanwei nodded.
The Grand Elder looked around and said in a deep voice, "Now that Gu Huangzi is dead and the Fox and Wolf races have temporarily retreated, our Sword Sect must prepare early.
Xuanwei and I have discussed it; she hopes to secretly instruct someone in array techniques, so that person can disguise as her and maintain the array on this island, while she goes to secretly repair the ancient teleportation array.
This matter is extremely important and cannot be undertaken by a disciple, only among those present...
Is there anyone willing to volunteer?"
When the words fell, everyone looked around.
The male cultivators all looked at the female cultivators, skipping over elders like Meng Popo, and finally settled on a young female cultivator with a similar build to Yu Xuanwei.
This female cultivator, having just broken through to the Crimson Palace Realm, appeared quite young.
The Grand Elder asked, "Sun Yuanqin, are you willing to do this?"
The female cultivator said, "I am willing."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man not far away snorted.
The Grand Elder looked up and asked, "Su family’s second, what opinion do you have?"
The man, with a face full of resentment, said angrily, "Sun Family, Sun Family, always the Sun Family, why don’t we, the Su Family, just merge into your Sun Family."
The Grand Elder was taken aback.
The surrounding air fell silent.
The man said, "Ever since my older brother died in the Puppet Sect battle and my ancestor died in the Imperial Capital war, haven’t your Sun Family bullied us enough?"
The Grand Elder sighed deeply, "Yingren, why be so distant?"
This man was indeed Su family’s second—Su Yingren, who had just broken through to the middle stage of the Crimson Palace.
Su Yingren said, "The Library Pavilion matter, how do you explain?"
The Grand Elder said, "There are many Demon Sect spies, placing them with the Sun family here is considered safe." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Su Yingren laughed mockingly, "It is safe, then all new entry-level disciples become your Sun family’s pupils? It won’t be long before my Su family has no successors or students."
The Grand Elder fell silent, raised his hand, and pinched his brow, saying, "You’re right, it was my oversight."
Su Yingren was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then Grand Elder, what do you think should be done?"
The Grand Elder thought for a moment and said, "Our Sun and Su families should not be divided."
Su Yingren said, "How is it not divided?"
The Grand Elder grabbed the list of "elite seed disciples," glanced over it, and said, "In the next thirty years, if there are new disciples entering, seventy percent will be allocated to your Su family’s side, and thirty percent to the Sun family, regardless of talent, by drawing lots.
Moreover, many of the disciples on this elite list do not have Dao partners, so... why not select Sun family’s elite students from among them and let them seek Dao partners from your Su family.
And vice versa.
This is also a form of integration.
These disciples are the hope for the future of our Sword Sect, and should be trained wholeheartedly. In the event of any changes, the retreat plan remains as usual.
So, no matter how the outside situation changes, we must not become disorganized.
Firstly, ensure Xuanwei secretly repairs the ancient teleportation array;
Secondly, cultivate these disciples well.
Does anyone have any opinions?"
Everyone discussed for a while and settled on some details, then went to implement them accordingly.
...
...
Moments later...
Swoosh~
Swoosh~
Two sword rainbows flew side by side.
Meng Popo looked at Sword Master Kuye and said, "The matter regarding the Embroidery Tiger, it seems you were overthinking it. Recently, I’ve quietly investigated what he has been doing."
