Chapter 463: The Sect’s Crisis

Only after seven to eight minutes had passed by did everyone catch their breath from this fright.

Everyone looked at each other and could see a deep-rooted horror from each other’s expressions.

This truly was a little devil that took people’s lives!

They only had themselves to blame for being blind. You really couldn’t provoke just anyone now. Even if she looked like a soft little girl, in reality, she was even more frightening and formidable than a demon.

After Qiao Mu rushed out of the adventurer base, she spurred the horse into a mad gallop towards Five Moon City.

It was only until the second night, when the horse was about to foam at the mouth, that she halted and continued her journey by air on Qingluan.

However, it was already a bit late now. At this moment, the Holy Water Sect was confronting a subversive and sweeping crisis.

Liu Yizhi and Qiu San had brought along all of Shuntian Prefecture’s men on Sikong Planet, which amounted to a little over 700 members in total.

They had arrived at the gate of the Holy Water Sect one day ago. They also encountered Anyi Prefecture’s assistant manager Hong Jinchuan who had rushed over after receiving the news.

At the time, Liu Yizhi’s expression was extremely unsightly; however, he reached an agreement with Hong Jinchuan after careful consideration.

Both powers decided to first seize control of Holy Water Sect and then find the sacred water. Afterwards, they would see which side the sacred water favored, which would resolve their differences peacefully.

Of course, it was another story later on should the other side be unconvinced at that time and end up fighting again.

At least for now, Shuntian Prefecture’s Liu Yizhi and Anyi Prefecture’s Hong Jinchuan could be considered to have reached an initial agreement.

In only the duration of one night, these people had slaughtered many Holy Water Sect disciples like wolves killing sheep. When Murong Xun’s party had finally rushed back, everyone had already retreated to the Sect Master’s Peak.

At the beginning when the two prefecture’s people charged in, many disciples were not ready at all.

Thus, by the time Holy Water Sect’s Sect Master rushed out, the disciples that were keeping watch at the gate of the sect had all perished.

The sect master blocked Liu Yizhi and Hong Jinchuan’s attacks by herself. Although she barely managed to save the remaining disciples and relocate them to the Sect Master’s Peak, by the time the three peak masters rushed back, it was evident that the sect master’s life was barely hanging on by a thread.

“Ah-Xun, this time I really have to trouble you to shoulder this heavy responsibility.” Holy Water Sect’s Sect Master shakily took out a token from her lapels and handed it to Murong Xun, who was standing at the head of her bed.

“Master.”

“From now onward, Murong Xun, will be the Holy Water Sect’s 17th Sect Master…”

“Master!” Yang Xirong and Lu Yun both kneeled and gazed tearfully at the sect master who was at her last gasp.

Xu Shanshan and the other disciples hung their heads and kneeled outside the door. The tears in their eyes fell down and splashed drop by drop onto the bamboo flooring.

“Ah-Xun, Ah-Rong, Ah-Yun.”

“Master, this disciple is here.” The three people’s voices choked and practically couldn’t speak.

“Master’s greatest achievement in this lifetime is taking you three in as disciples.” Holy Water Sect’s Sect Master reclined on a supporting cushion. She grasped her three disciples’ hands and said with a smile, “Even though I call you all rotten disciples all the time, I know clearly in my heart that you are all the most filial of disciples.”

“Master, rest. You will get better.” Yang Xirong choked with sobs.

“I can’t get better. Master knows her own situation.” After fighting the two prefectures’ experts, it was already a miracle that she was able to hang on until now without dying.

Only two prefectures had come right now, which was why they could momentarily ward off two powers with their one sect. If all of the six prefectures were to be present…

“Master will now tell you a secret.” The sect master coughed heavily several times before firmly clutching both of Murong Xun’s hands over that irradiating sect master token.
