The Sect Leader of Beixue Mountain Villa, leading a group of high-ranking elders, came to the Heavenly Sword Faction to express submission and willingly become a vassal of the Heavenly Sword Faction.
This news spread within the Heavenly Sword Faction, exploding like a bomb throughout the sect.
It ignited the emotions of everyone within the Heavenly Sword Faction to the extreme!
Initially, some people were skeptical about the accuracy of this news, but after seeing the people from Beixue Mountain Villa arrive and getting confirmation from the elders, they realized their Heavenly Sword Faction had grown so powerful as to dominate the entire Yan Kingdom.
They were filled with pride, proud to be disciples of the Heavenly Sword Faction.
However, most disciples did not let this pride make them lose themselves because they all knew that this honor was not brought by the Heavenly Sword Faction itself.
It was one person, their senior, Mu Jinyu!
It was he who single-handedly subdued all Four Sects of the Yan Kingdom.
He alone destroyed the Blood Sword Sect and the Liuyun Sect, so how could Beixue Mountain Villa, one of the Four Sects, not be afraid? How dare they not submit?
...
In the reception room of the Elder's Grand Hall.
Xie Yuan was brewing tea for the Great Elder and Sect Leader of Beixue Mountain Villa.
"I have already sent someone to notify him; Jinyu should be here soon," Xie Yuan said with a cheerful smile while pouring the brewed tea for the others.
"Hmm, thank you very much."
The Great Elder of Beixue Mountain Villa, whose real name was Lin Yi, nodded slightly and responded with a smile upon hearing Xie Yuan's words.
He wore a smile, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
During the Four Sects Martial Meeting, Beixue Mountain Villa's chief disciple Lin Tianxue, who was the Defender of the Arena, was defeated by the challenger Yun Ge, which ultimately led to Beixue Mountain Villa being the last among the Four Sects, making him very unhappy.
But he was not too afraid of the Heavenly Sword Faction, as the Heavenly Sword Faction only seemed to have two talented disciples, signaling a potential revival.
He personally stepped up to encourage Beixue Mountain Villa's disciples to work hard and bring back their honor at the next Four Sects Martial Meeting.
Just when he had mobilized all of Beixue Mountain Villa's disciples, igniting their fighting spirit and urging them to strive for the next Four Sects Martial Meeting.
An earth-shattering piece of news struck him like thunder, stunning him on the spot, and extinguishing the fighting spirit of all Beixue Mountain Villa's disciples.
According to spies near the Blood Sword Sect, the Blood Sword Sect was destroyed.
And it wasn't due to an all-out battle between the Heavenly Sword Faction and the Blood Sword Sect, where both sides were nearly exhausted, leading to the hard-won destruction of the Blood Sword Sect.
According to the spies, the main force that wiped out the Blood Sword Sect was just one person.
It was Mu Jinyu, the winner of the Four Sects Martial Meeting less than a month ago!
Lin Yi's first reaction upon hearing this news was disbelief.
How could he possibly believe it? He'd be crazy to believe it.
After all, Mu Jinyu was only at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, and even if he was lucky enough to break through to the Fanxu Realm in the Blood Essence Pool in one month, what qualifications did he have to single-handedly annihilate the Blood Sword Sect?
However, when the spies transmitted the images recorded using the "Profound Light Mirror" technique, he could only remain silent.
The Blood Sword Sect was indeed destroyed.
Later, following the news from the Heavenly Sword Faction's spies, it was learned that not long ago, the Blood Sword Sect had led a massive invasion against the Heavenly Sword Faction, and due to the full activation of the Heavenly Sword Faction's Mountain Protection Array, the specifics were unknown, but it was guessed that Zhou Yun and others had perished within the Heavenly Sword Faction.
This led to the scene of Mu Jinyu destroying the Blood Sword Sect.
This news made Lin Yi feel relieved, speculating that the Heavenly Sword Faction must have paid a hefty price to stop the invading Blood Sword Sect.
It must have been severely depleted as well, which might be an opportunity for their Beixue Mountain Villa.
He was then tempted, considering whether to strike the Heavenly Sword Faction with a fierce blow.
At this time, spies planted near Liuyun Sect sent news that Liuyun Sect was also destroyed by Mu Jinyu!
The "Profound Light Mirror" footage received this time plainly confirmed that the person who wiped out Liuyun Sect was none other than Mu Jinyu alone.
Initially, because of the Blood Sword Sect's destruction, it was assumed that the Heavenly Sword Faction was severely depleted, and the people of Beixue Mountain Villa, who could still remain seated and were somewhat tempted, were now completely terrified.
The Blood Sword Sect and the Liuyun Sect were both wiped out by the Heavenly Sword Faction. What was their Heavenly Sword Faction doing? Were they planning to dominate Yan Kingdom?
Would their next target be Beixue Mountain Villa?
Lin Yi and the others could no longer sit still.
They urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures and ultimately abandoned the idea of leaving Yan Kingdom.
If they left Yan Kingdom with the entire sect, it would mean giving up Beixue Mountain Villa's Heaven Cave Blessed land, and even if they went elsewhere, they might not find such a Heaven Cave Blessed land.
This would only make Beixue Mountain Villa weaker, and coupled with local sects in other countries, they wouldn't allow them to develop easily, making the situation dire.
Finally, they decided to express submission to the Heavenly Sword Faction.
So, they came.
Knowing their intention of submission, Xie Yuan warmly entertained them. However, when Lin Yi inquired whether Mu Jinyu had any intent to destroy Beixue Mountain Villa.
Xie Yuan shook his head, indicating he didn't know, and implied that if Mu Jinyu sincerely wanted to destroy Beixue Mountain Villa, he couldn't stop it.
Thus, we have the scene of Lin Yi and others waiting for judgment.
Lin Yi waited anxiously, uncertain whether his submission to Mu Jinyu could preserve Beixue Mountain Villa, and how much strength and power it could maintain.
He pondered whether this step was right or wrong...
"Knock, knock!"
The sound of knocking suddenly broke Lin Yi's train of worried thoughts.
"Please, come in."
Knowing it was Mu Jinyu, Xie Yuan said with a smile.
The door opened.
Mu Jinyu walked in accompanied by Wen Rou and three other women.
"Jinyu, come, have a seat. Let me introduce you. This is the first Supreme Elder of Beixue Mountain Villa, Lin Yi, and this is the Sect Leader of Beixue Mountain Villa..."
Under Xie Yuan's introduction, Mu Jinyu nodded slightly to them, acknowledging the greeting without showing any hint of impatience.
Standing behind Mu Jinyu, Ji Li watched the once aloof elders of Beixue Mountain Villa, each now full of sycophantic smiles toward Mu Jinyu, and her thoughts were extremely complicated.
Even Beixue Mountain Villa, which had preserved its strength, expressed submission to the Heavenly Sword Faction and became a vassal sect. What reason did she, from the destroyed Mingyue Valley, have to refuse the Heavenly Sword Faction's help?
Moreover, she originally felt that rebuilding Mingyue Valley, given her strength and capabilities, might not last long and that at any time, the rebuilt Mingyue Valley could fall apart.
And those Female Elders sent by the Heavenly Sword Faction surely had more experience, and with their assistance, even though Mingyue Valley would no longer be the original Mingyue Valley, its name would at least be preserved.
This would pay homage to the sacrifice of the elders of Mingyue Valley in that battle.
After all, their selfless fight was meant to preserve some of Mingyue Valley's legacy, so it wouldn't completely become a relic of history.
Being able to rebuild in this way would surely comfort those elders of Mingyue Valley who died in battle.
