"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, we are about to descend. It might be a bit bumpy, so please stand steady."

As Jiang Changqing finished speaking, the entire Ark began its slow descent toward a vast cluster of Spirit Peaks.

Although the flying altitude of the Ark was already quite high, the towering Spirit Peaks soared even higher into the clouds, making the descending Ark seem as insignificant as a butterfly before a mountain, evoking a sense of awe.

As the Ark gradually descended, finally, everyone saw the earth beneath a particular Spirit Peak.

Boom—!!!

When the Ark landed on the ground, dust rose all around, and just before the Ark landed, several senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect, dressed in sect attire, were already quietly waiting there.

Ye Xiaofan and others followed Jiang Changqing off the Ark. After Jiang Changqing put away the Ark, he led over a hundred disciples of the Divine Sword Sect towards those few people.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Liu, sorry to keep you waiting," Jiang Changqing said as he approached the group, bowing slightly in salute.

After returning the gesture, they glanced lightly at Ye Xiaofan and others behind Jiang Changqing, their brows furrowing slightly: "Changqing, why do you have so few junior brothers and sisters from the ’Border City Battle Domain’?"

"Replying to Senior Brother, most haven’t reached the Transmission Dao Platform yet, but rest assured, Senior Brother. I’ve arranged for Junior Sister Qi to be the last to enter the ’Main Battle Domain.’ She will bring all the junior brothers and sisters here."

Jiang Changqing spoke, his expression somewhat forlorn: "As for those who haven’t reached the Transmission Dao Platform by the deadline, there’s nothing more we can do."

The other party nodded slightly, letting out a soft sigh, then looked towards Ye Xiaofan and others, directing the figure beside him: "Junior Sister Liu, take them to Peak 76 and inform them of the current situation. Let them prepare well for the battle."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

The Divine Sword Sect’s senior sister, called Junior Sister Liu, walked out slowly upon hearing this, arriving before Ye Xiaofan and the others, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone.

After a moment, the senior sister gently parted her lips, her voice very soft yet steady in everyone’s ears: "Among you, are there any junior brothers and sisters still in the Profound Sea Realm? If so, step forward."

With the words of the Liu-named senior sister, over a hundred disciples of the Divine Sword Sect looked at each other, but none stepped out from the group.

Obviously, those who managed to arrive early were all cultivators at Spiritual Essence Realm or higher. As for those still in Profound Sea Realm, unable to fly in the sky, their journey naturally took much longer.

Of course, there were also cultivators who were fortunate to encounter powerful senior brothers and sisters with good personalities, who might offer them a ride.

In the crowd, Mo Shiyi and Nangong Jianchen momentarily froze at the words of the Liu-named senior sister, then showed a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

"A strong cultivator of the Self-Slaying Realm," Mo Shiyi whispered.

Nangong Jianchen also nodded slightly. As for the Zhang-named cultivator greeting Jiang Changqing, he was incredibly terrifying, even Mo Shiyi couldn’t discern his cultivation level.

Just coming out to receive them were Self-Slaying Realm senior siblings. It was hard to imagine how many formidable figures resided atop those Spirit Peaks, especially those so-called Saint Heirs and Saintesses.

Unfortunately, it seemed that they wouldn’t be able to witness the elegance of the Divine Sword Sect’s Saint Heirs and Saintesses anytime soon.

Elsewhere.

Seeing no one stand out, the Liu-named senior sister slightly nodded her fair chin, looking at the crowd said: "First, let me introduce myself. My surname is Liu. You can call me Liu Jiangxue or Senior Sister Liu. I don’t mind these titles. From now on, you will be under my command, at least in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ you will act under my orders."

After she finished speaking, everyone bowed slightly: "Greetings, Senior Sister Liu."

Liu Jiangxue nodded gently in response, her eyes full of complex emotions as she looked at everyone. After a pause, she continued: "Junior brothers and sisters, promise Senior Sister to survive, so we can meet again at the Divine Sword Sect after overcoming this challenge."

Despite the words, everyone knew, deep down, how few would actually survive to return. In the ultimate battle between the Righteous and Demonic Dao, even she, a cultivator of the Self-Slaying Realm, couldn’t predict her own fate.

After a few simple instructions, Liu Jiangxue immediately rose into the air, heading towards a certain Spirit Peak.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xiaofan and others, including Feifei, followed suit, with over a hundred figures traversing through the sky without using any tools.

Mu Xin and Mu Yan, slightly nervous, quietly followed behind Ye Xiaofan. At this moment, the sisters’ emotions were the most complex, as they weren’t disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, but it seemed Liu Jiangxue and others had no intention of questioning that.

In fact, this situation was very common in any sect. Some disciples had followers outside, which wasn’t unusual. The Divine Sword Sect naturally wouldn’t investigate further, but these followers were unable to reside in the inner sect, often assigned to a gathering place in the outer sect.

Currently, this was just a temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect, so Liu Jiangxue and others indeed had no intention of asking. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

As Ye Xiaofan and others followed Liu Jiangxue into the air.

The Zhang-named senior brother before Jiang Changqing watched the departing Divine Sword Sect junior brothers and sisters, saying: "Changqing, I heard in your ’battle domain’ a young disciple with double talent, an extraordinary prodigy named Ye Xiaofan, was born. How is this person doing now?"

The matter of the Sword Saint’s successor might not have caused as much sensation across all ’battle domains’ as imagined, but it certainly attracted the attention of numerous cultivators. Jiang Changqing wasn’t surprised by the question but slowly turned his gaze towards one among the hundreds of figures.
