Rumble!

In less than half an hour, the Sect Protection Array in front of the Profound Moon Sword Sect's mountain gate was breached, which happened faster than expected.

In an instant, the powerhouses of the Deserters and the Demon Race broke in and charged towards the Sword Peak.

Most of the elders and disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect had already descended the mountain to support Jubei City. Now, the disciples remaining in the sect were mostly Outer Disciples and ordinary servants. With the mountain gate breached, they were like lambs to the slaughter in front of the Deserters, unable to resist and massacred completely.

At this point, neither the Deserters nor the Demon Race held even the slightest intention of sparing anyone.

Pity these remaining disciples who thought Jubei City was too dangerous and stayed in the sect for safety, even if it was considered cowardly, ironically ended up dying even faster.

"All worthless, killing them serves no purpose!"

Quickly, the Demon Race and Deserters also realized this, and someone commented blandly.

"Don't be hasty, the true core of the Profound Moon Sword Sect is at Sword Peak. All the sect's resources and remaining powerhouses must be on Sword Peak!"

Jing Yuan replied casually.

Indeed, the Sword Peak was inaccessible, with only two paths: the Ascending Sword Tier or flying directly up.

Previously, there were too many Outer Disciples and servants, and the powerhouses on Sword Peak couldn't possibly take them all up; they could only be abandoned.

However, some formidable Inner Sect Disciples had already been taken up to Sword Peak before the mountain gate was breached, preparing for the final stand.

Moreover, besides the Sect Protection Array in front of the mountain gate, there's an extremely powerful array on Sword Peak, acting as the last line of defense!

Walking leisurely, Jing Yuan soon reached the base of Sword Peak, raised his head to look towards it, and couldn't help but admire it.

The fame of the Sword Peak of the Profound Moon Sword Sect was something Jing Yuan had long heard of. But given his status, he naturally wouldn't have had the chance to come here, so this was his first time seeing Sword Peak with his own eyes.

"It's said that the ancestor of the Profound Moon Sword Sect split a mountain with a sword, creating such unique scenery as Sword Peak. Seeing it today, it indeed lives up to its reputation."

"Haha, the ancestor of the Profound Moon was indeed impressive, but unfortunately... the Profound Moon Sword Sect has been declining over the years, no longer as glorious as in the past."

The Transformed Great Demon by his side laughed: "Not to mention, if Qu Lishang were still here, we wouldn't dare attack!"

Apparently, this Transformed Great Demon knew the Li Shang Sword Venerable and, even though Qu Lishang had disappeared for so many years, still felt immense dread towards him.

This statement was indeed true. Although Zhou Dongfei was also a top expert, he could not match the fearsome reputation of Qu Lishang!

If Qu Lishang were still in the Northern Domain, none of these Transformed Great Demons would dare attack the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

With a smile, Jing Yuan didn't engage in this topic but turned to the Path-Entering Powerhouse of the Deserters beside him, saying: "We have to go through the motions, let's try persuasion!"

Nodding slightly, the Path-Entering Powerhouse stepped into the air and spoke coldly: "Listen well, people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. I am Qianyu, Protector of the Divine Court. You have one incense stick's time to open the array and descend the mountain to surrender, or else... we will bloodbath Sword Peak, leaving none alive in your sect!"

The short warning suddenly exploded over Sword Peak, thunderously reaching the ears of everyone on it.

Though called "persuasion," it was actually a blatant threat.

Neither Qianyu nor Jing Yuan truly expected the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect to surrender.

Their call was merely to create more pressure on their opponents.

"Absurd, you cowardly scum, only took the advantage of our Sect Leader and Elders being absent, attacking sneakily, dare you claim victory?"

The next moment, the furious voice of an Elder from the Profound Moon Sword Sect resounded from Sword Peak.

"When the Sect Leader and all the Elders return to aid, it will be your time of death!"

As one of the Four Great Celestial Sects, the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect never suffered such grievances; it was truly frustrating.

Although the Deserters and Demon Race were strong, if it came to a direct confrontation, the Profound Moon Sword Sect may not necessarily fall behind. Not to mention, the strength of Sect Leader Zhou Dongfei alone would be enough to sweep away these enemies.

"Old bones in the grave!"

Shaking his head slightly, Jing Yuan spoke calmly: "Attack the mountain!"

With a command given, the powerhouses of the Deserters and Demon Race immediately launched a fierce attack again!

Though the array on Sword Peak was potent, without anyone controlling it, it couldn't last long either.

This was already the last barrier; once breached, it would mean the fall of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

...

"What now, the message still can't get out… If Sword Peak falls, we all would be culprits of the sect!"

On top of Sword Peak, chaos reigned.

Only three elders remained, and their strength was not particularly strong. Only one was in the Dao Entrance Realm, while the other two had just barely entered the Void Shattering level and were not adept at fighting.

Such strength could not possibly contend against the Deserters and Demon Race.

Life and death were minor matters, but the breach of Sword Peak, such an unbearable shame, would be devastating.

It could be said that if Sword Peak were breached today, the reputation of the Profound Moon Sword Sect would be utterly destroyed.

Even if Zhou Dongfei and other sect powerhouses eventually reclaimed the sect, Profound Moon would have no face to call itself one of the Four Great Celestial Sects anymore; it would be virtually an annihilation!

But... what could be done now?

"We fight to the death!"

With a calm demeanor, the leading Dao Entrance Realm elder spoke solemnly: "As long as we still breathe, these scoundrels shall not set foot on Sword Peak!"

In a brief moment, the last Sect Protection Array already seemed a bit shaky, and everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of grief and indignation, ready to fight to the death once the array was broken!

However, at the moment devoid of hope, a terrifying sword light suddenly tore through the sky, slashing towards the Deserters and Demon Race beneath Sword Peak!

The moon-white Sword Aura soared into the sky like a vibrant Profound Moon, breathtakingly beautiful!

"Scum, courting death!"

An angry shout erupted, shaking the entire Profound Moon Mountain!

"Sword Elder!"

In an instant, all the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect were filled with spirited excitement, looking at the figure in the sky.

Besides Zhou Dongfei, the Sword Elder was probably now the most powerful presence in the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

Just previously, he had received Luo Qingxuan's message to descend the mountain and support the battlefield. Otherwise, if the Sword Elder were here, the people wouldn't have been utterly leaderless.

Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, the Sword Elder managed to return, undoubtedly reigniting a spark of hope in everyone's hearts!
