What about the two from Yellow Maple Valley? Lv, calm down. We can find an opening to ditch the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Xuan’er! Xuan’er! Dong Xuan’er? Xuan’er. What happened to you? Dong Xuan’er. Senior Wu. Hurry. Senior Han is… What happened to Han Li? He needs your help now. Where is he? Xuan’er. Xuan’er, what’s wrong? Everyone, Xuan’er escaped from the Yan Clan Stronghold. I must send her to the Valley. Go now. We’ll go rescue Han. Xuan’er… I feel much better now. The demonic sects might be on the way back. I should take a detour. My seniors, aren’t we going to rescue Han? This is the wrong way. Chen. The elder sent us a message. The Yan Clan Stronghold owns a gem quarry nearby. The demonic sects must not seize it. We are ordered to take it immediately. Han Li? Why are you here? What is she doing here? Senior Chen. Is he from the Yellow Maple Valley? I am Lv Tianmeng from Spirit Beast Mountain. I am Xuan Yue from Moonshadow Sect. I am Han Li from Yellow Maple Valley. I escaped from the Yan Clan Stronghold. Han. Are you alright? You look badly hurt. No one else can find out about the change in our route. We must keep this person here. Agreed. What’s with these two? This is weird. For you to escape the Yan Clan Stronghold proves you are highly capable. The rest of us were sent on a mission by the Seven Sects. Things are urgent right now. Join us. We can watch each other’s backs. Senior Xuan. Since Han is injured, he should return to the Valley. We can handle the mission. Chen. The coalition gave an order. All Foundation Establishment disciples were assigned missions. Lv has the coalition’s official dispatch as proof. Han. Please lend us a hand. Please don’t turn us down. It seems they are ready to accuse me – if I refuse… – Han. to help them. Please. No choice then. I’ll play it by ear. I accept the order. I’ll go with you. Senior Chen. What’s going on with these two? We were originally ordered to scout the Yan Clan Stronghold. But they suddenly changed course. They claimed to have received an order to seize a gem quarry. A gem quarry? The Yan Clan Stronghold is overrun. With just a few of us, even if we take it, can we hold it? Why did you come? I couldn’t just let you go rescue them on your own. Don’t worry, I can handle it alone. The big battle is coming, and we need you at the front lines to hold the fort. We don’t even know how many enemies are coming this time. I heard that person leading them. That is the very reason I must go. Siding with the demonic sects… Xuan’er! Are they back? – Xuan’er! – Master! Master! Mentor. Mentor. The Lord of the Yan Clan Stronghold sided with the demonic sects. Han fought to protect me so I could get back. He’s still fighting those villains. Please go save him before it’s too late. Alright. Understood. Here, take this. Quick. He is in danger right now. You must go help him. Go, now. Wu Xuan. Yes, Master. Take good care of her. Without your mentor’s permission, she is not to leave the Valley. Stop standing there. She just escaped death. Do you think she’ll get that lucky again next time? Yes, Master. Hold her. Alright. Xuan’er is safe. But your disciple… I sent Liu Jing to search for him. That rascal is pretty clever. Since he was able to get Xuan’er out, he must be confident he can escape on his own too. That would be best. If he returns safely this time, as his mentor, I’ll have to reward him. But with this turn of events, Xuan’er’s identity may be exposed. If she runs into that person, what then? Don’t worry, Hongfu. With me here, I won’t let anyone harm you two. Quit acting like a hero. Don’t forget, you still can’t beat me. Give it a rest. Enough. Don’t worry. The war is top priority. We must head to the front lines, and stop the demonic sects. Exactly. This is the place. It seems the guards here are mostly mortals and low-level cultivators. Nightfall is near. No time to waste. Before the enemy army arrives, we must take this place. Senior Lv. Chen. Han. The four of us Foundation Establishment cultivators will lead the charge. Any objections? Come on. Brothers! Drink up! Come on! Pour it! Drink up! Hurry up! Come on!

Han. Not bad out there. You flatter me. They simply underestimated us. Anyone who made it out of the Yan Clan Stronghold alive is no ordinary man. From now on, watch my back. Glad we took it without trouble. As ordered by our sect, we’ll hold this place as a base and wait for reinforcements. Well then, Chen, Han. We’ll leave the defenses to you. Lv and I will scout the area nearby in case any strays slipped through. Alright. Let’s go. Why are those two sneaking off? Where are they going? Zhong Wu. Yes! Yes! What are your orders? Where is my wife? Latest news is that she safely arrived at the Six Sects’ territory this morning. As for Li Feiyu… Still no sign? Scouts reported. No trace of Yellow Maple Valley disciples on the run. But they did spot a few cultivators from the Seven Sects heading southwest. Southwest? It’s the Yan Clan Stronghold. Why would those fools go there? Let’s find out. Young Master. There’s nothing over there. Just rocky mountains. Wide open too. Are you sure we’re going? Sure! No harm in taking a look. Stupid rock, worthless rock! Tripping Young Master! Shut up. Contact our men at the base. Find out what those fools are really up to. As you say, Young Master. There’s a gem quarry there. I’ll send word right away. Gem quarry? A quarry it is! What are we waiting for? I was in charge of the gem trade between Yan Clan and the Moonshadow Sect. Now that they’ve sided with the demonic sects, this ill-gotten wealth is now earned fair and square. Han from Yellow Maple Valley may seem like nothing special, but his strikes were sharp and clean. He caught me by surprise. So what if he’s good? We have orders from the sect. Doesn’t matter if he’s elite or useless, he still has to follow our lead. Now, these gems seem to be under a seal. We’ll have to break it before we can store these gems. So, we need to act fast. As I recall, you are quite skilled with sealing spells. So… I leave the place in your hands now. You’ve got a good eye, Xuan. Before the demon brats get here, let’s grab as much as we can. But let’s be clear. Whatever we get this time, we split it fifty-fifty. I promise you will get a fair share. You call the shots, Lv. The sentries are in position. The defense array is ready. Senior Chen truly lives up to her background. Mentor Chen. The array has been set up. We prepared plenty of gems. There won’t be any mishaps. Our disciples are also on high alert. Go on ahead. I’ll go to you later. Senior Chen, well done. This place… Han, I’m so glad you’re alright. How’s your injury? Thanks for your concern. I’m alright now. Good to hear. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already grown so skilled. You must’ve suffered a lot. You flatter me. They are only some unremarkable tricks. By the way, where are the two seniors? Do you know their next plan? When the seven sects coalition was picking scout teams, Senior Xuan and Senior Lv worked well together. They volunteered. But for some reason, they both disappeared after arriving at the quarry. This quarry is too important. I doubt Yan Clan and the demonic sects will just give it up. Once they regroup, they will return. This place has an array, but against the demonic army and Core Formation cultivators, it’s not enough. If things go south, we’ll all be trapped like fish in a barrel. You’re right. It’s not just about the defenses. We need those two late Foundation Establishment seniors to lay down a solid plan. I agree. Let’s split up. Stay here. Prepare the array. I’ll look for them. Mentor Chen. Mentor Chen. Where is the core of the Four-Menace Array? This quarry is like a maze. Where do these tunnels lead? I’ve got a bad feeling. Better find a spot to get ready. Nice and quiet here. Perfect. Time for my talismans and puppets. Hey little guy, where did you come from? You little rascal. Impeccable timing. All done. With enough gems, this will do. Alright, here’s your task. Scout out the quarry. Great Deployment Art boosts my spiritual sense. With my current strength, plus these puppets, I can take on a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator. Who’s there? His spirit sense is strong. Could he be in the late Foundation Establishment? No… The moment he saw me, he bolted like the wind. Could it be someone who knows me? Young Master! Young Master! Young Master! Young Master! Bad news! The quarry has been taken! By whom? The guys from the Seven Sects! The Seven Sects? And he knows me… The direction and distance match too… Could it be you? Li Feiyu! That villain never stops haunting me. I must leave. Hope Senior Chen sees it and gets ready. Yellow Maple Valley’s emergency flare! Firing a signal at a time like this? Those Yellow Maple Valley fools… Die, all of you! Move out at full speed! A Yellow Maple Valley’s emergency flare! Mentor Chen! Look, an emergency flare! We’re under attack! Quick! Throw gems into the array core! Activate the defense array! Yes! Senior Chen! We’re under attack! Was that your signal? Do we have enough gems to power the array? I sent people to collect a bunch. But this quarry is huge. Many areas are empty. It all depends on how many enemies there are. At least a hundred, but no siege weapons. Saber-Shearing Sect, Giant Sword Sect! Go look for more gems. The others, keep powering the array! Yes! Finally activated. This array is way too weak. It’s all low-level cultivators out there. Are the seniors still not back? I haven’t seen them either. Something’s up. This is strange. Senior Chen, we’re from the same sect. Let me offer a word. When it gets critical, we can’t count on others. If things go south, retreat into the quarry. You just might survive. In a pinch, this might save you. I’ll go look for them. Be careful, Han. Everyone in the Seven Sects knows me. You will get your share. Wait, no! Yellow Maple Valley just sent up a flare! The demonic sects are here! They are nothing. What’s the panic? Keep working. Of all times to show up… Why now, of all times? Xuan, what do you think? I’ll follow your lead, Lv. If the demonic sects send their main force, our array won’t stand a chance. But if we pull everyone out, the array will collapse. Someone has to stay behind to cover the retreat. Right. Exactly right. The sect only sent us here to gather intel. As for where the gems end up, nobody will ask. Not the Seven Sects, not the demonic sects, and not the Yan Clan Stronghold. However, the cultivators from the other sects are a bit of a problem. Lv, under a falling nest, no egg survives. But still, if we don’t join the defense and let Chen Qiaoqian go alone, people will start suspecting us. Got it. How about you and I each send two men to hold the fort? That should shut everyone up. Alright. Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi. Lan Yan, Lan Rong. Listen up. Right now, the quarry’s under attack. It’s a matter of life and death. Each of you, grab a box of gems. Get to the main hall fast. Power up the array. Yes! Go tell Chen Qiaoqian we’ll be right there. Yes! You, start loading. Yes! Even the Four-Menace Array is used. Looks like we picked the perfect time. Right on time. They activated the Four-Menace Array. Li Feiyu, you little pest! I finally got you now. I’ll vanquish you. Someone, tear open that turtle shell for me! Come on! Break open Young Master’s shell! Now, open that turtle shell for the Young Master! All disciples, listen up! This quarry is crucial to our front line. We can’t lose it! You two, keep powering the array. The rest, defend with full power! Yes! Still putting up a fight, huh? Scout ahead. Lv, it’s about time. Let’s pull out. No choice now. Let’s go. Young master! Young master! If this drags on, we’ll be stuck forever. How about I head back and bring some siege gear? Stop the barrage! Cease fire! Cease fire! Cease fire! Stop it! Look! The bombardment stopped! The Four-Menace Array isn’t something a normal spell can break. Could this be Yan Clan’s parting gift to us? Fight fire with fire! Too bad it’s burning through gems. Prepare the Blue-Sun Blaze. Did I hear that right? Blue-Sun Blaze? Young master. That’s a rare magic fire! It’s not worth using here! Why do you care? That’s the Blue-Sun Blaze! Keep going! Keep it up! Hurry! Keep powering the defense array! Are they freaks from the Demonic Flame Sect? That blast has the might of a Core Formation cultivator! Where are Xuan Yue and Lv Tianmeng? Why are there only four of you? They are still moving gems in the vault. They will be here soon. Keep bombing them. When it gets critical, we can’t count on others. If things go south, retreat into the quarry. You just might survive. Everyone, listen up! The enemies are too strong. We can’t hold this position. Saving yourselves is what matters most. Please don’t hold back. Channel all your gems into the formation. Buy us some time. Move! Fall back into the quarry! Go! This turtle shell won’t hold. Come on. It’s a maze here. Where is the treasure? Almost there. Found them. Creeping around like rats. Looks like they’ve been here before. Two late Foundation Establishment cultivators. Two late Qi Refining cultivators. That’s trouble. If they find out I know what they’re up to, they will silence me. This is bad. I’d better run. Young master, that was the third shot. Our cultivators can’t take much more. What do you know? Down there are the Seven Sects’ elite meatheads and Li Feiyu! He dies here today, no matter what. Keep blasting! Move in! Go! Wait! Where is Mentor Chen? Run! Head into the quarry! Hurry! Run! ♪Shards of dreams inside a dream♪ ♪A pale moon falls into mirrored skies♪ ♪Years slipped by as I lingered on♪ ♪Old scenes rise again♪ ♪Too hard to forget♪ ♪Easier just to miss♪ ♪They say the past fades like smoke♪ ♪But looking back still stirs the ache♪ ♪This noisy world, this lonely page♪ ♪Swept away by time♪ ♪Eyes once looked far♪ ♪Now lost in the shift♪ ♪Autumn winds stir♪ ♪Smoke curls once more♪ ♪Like clouds on the edge of sky♪ ♪Returning to my eyes♪ ♪Looking back from the mountaintop♪ ♪Time lost its name♪ ♪Was it yesterday♪ ♪Or tomorrow?♪ ♪The world has changed♪ ♪Beyond recall♪ ♪Time will fade♪ ♪All the words ever spoken♪ ♪Only this longing remains♪ ♪Crossing centuries and days♪ ♪In a fleeting moment we call eternity♪ ♪In a fleeting moment called eternity♪
