Fangyuan Island.
Lv Ming maintained his vigilance.
For this purpose, he even dispatched over thirty squads, a total of one hundred and twenty high-rank sword cultivators, to scatter and investigate, determined to ensure that they would be the first to notice when the Nine Cauldrons Sect's team appeared around Fangyuan Island.
"Where have Song Xuan and the others gotten to?"
Lv Ming asked.
"They're heading in our direction, and according to them, they will be here soon,"
a primordial spirit cultivator responded.
"What about the Nine Cauldrons Sect?"
"Almost the same, shall we have Elder Song lie in ambush first, to avoid the two teams accidentally running into each other?"
the primordial spirit cultivator suggested.
Lv Ming pondered for a moment.
However, the changing situation obviously did not give them much time to consider, as a primordial spirit realm cultivator using the formation to monitor the surrounding ten thousand miles soon detected something: "A large number of targets are approaching our direction, judging by the number, it's the people from the Nine Cauldrons Sect, they've arrived... Not good! They've clashed! Nine Cauldrons Sect and Elder Song's team have bumped into each other!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lv Ming's face immediately turned ugly: "Didn't I tell Elder Song Xuan to take a detour to avoid encountering the Nine Cauldrons Sect? How did they still run into each other?"
"It's the Nine Cauldrons Sect!"
The primordial spirit realm cultivator using the formation to monitor the surrounding ten thousand miles quickly said: "The Nine Cauldrons Sect had the same idea, wanting to deliberately take a detour to attack us from another side, and, by a strange coincidence, both sides just happened to bump into each other!"
After speaking, he immediately said: "Should we contact Elder Song Xuan and have them pull back to Fangyuan Island?"

"No way!"
Lv Ming immediately said: "Once we let Elder Song and the others withdraw here, the sword cultivators from the Nine Cauldrons Sect will definitely follow them in, and we will lose all formation advantage!"
At this moment, this primordial spirit cultivator seemed to receive some news, speaking urgently: "Hall Master, Elder Song has sent a message saying that the Nine Cauldrons Sect deliberately targeted them, their clash was no coincidence, they made a big scene on purpose, openly mobilizing out of the Nine Heavens Domain, locking onto Fangyuan Island, just to keep us on Fangyuan Island and deter us from acting rashly!"
This cultivator looked up somewhat horrified and said: "Those taking the initiative have effectively used a manifest strategy! Either we hole up on Fangyuan Island and don't come out, unwittingly tying down two or three tenths of our manpower in the Eastern Sea, or we can only watch helplessly as they slowly chip away at our power in the Eastern Sea, until they have accumulated enough advantage to launch a total assault on Fangyuan Island."
Lv Ming was not surprised by this situation.
As the aggressor with the initiative, how could the other side give up this advantage to lay siege to Fangyuan Island?
"Elder Song has sent orders, we are bound to have a major battle either way, this fight is inevitable, why not take advantage of the present, outnumber them, and deliver a heavy blow to the morale of the Nine Cauldrons Sect!"
While Lv Ming was still weighing his options, the primordial spirit realm cultivator had already spoken again.
Almost at the same time, another primordial spirit realm cultivator suddenly said: "Hall Master, the Sect Master has passed down orders to assist Elder Song in breaking through the Nine Cauldrons Sect! With the Nine Cauldrons Sect's forces aggressively marching out of the Nine Heavens Domain, our Xuanming Sect must fight this battle!"
"The Sect Master's orders?"
Lv Ming was slightly startled: "How did the Sect Master pass down the orders so quickly?"
"Perhaps Elder Song explained the pros and cons of the situation to the Sect Master?"
the primordial spirit cultivator cautiously replied.
In an instant, sword lights pierced through the sky, tracing trajectories that tore through the clouds and swiftly disappeared.
Technique cultivators and Divine Cultivators boarded modified Flying Boats with combat capabilities, rushing to the battlefield to reinforce Song Xuan and the other elders.
For Sword Cultivators, ten thousand li was not a great distance; even maintaining formation at full speed, they could arrive in just over ten minutes. Those who were proficient at Sword Control could even reduce this time to under ten minutes.
However, this party of Xuanming Sect Sword Cultivators intended to take a detour, potentially covering a distance reaching two to three ten-thousand li.
In such a case, Technique cultivators and Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators would undoubtedly reach the battlefield before them.
However...
In reality, the Technique cultivators and Primordial Spirit cultivators engaged the battle much earlier than they had anticipated.
After advancing less than four thousand li, a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator skilled in scouting perceived something: "There's a target approaching! I can sense unnatural separation in the clouds at the horizon; it's a sign of sword light tearing through them."
The leading Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator extended his profound Divine Sense across the void, heading straight for the battlefield six thousand li away.
A moment later, he expressed, "It's Elder Song's men. The Nine Cauldrons Sect's charge is fierce; concerned for our safety, he has dispatched a team of Sword Cultivators to meet us."
The Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator nodded upon hearing this.
Then, after a moment, another Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator felt something was amiss: "It seems there's not just one team of Sword Cultivators coming..."
As he spoke, he was about to fully activate his Divine Sense to scout ahead.
But just as he prepared to project his Divine Sense, a vast and mighty wave of Divine Sense swept over like Mount Tai crushing down, passing over this part of the battlefield.
The cultivator who had just activated his Divine Sense instantly felt it crushed as if by a Stellar Power Field, pulverized to dust in an instant, causing severe damage to his psyche, and his face turned deathly pale.
Bearing the risk of his Primordial Spirit collapsing, he mustered his last breath and roared, "Heavenly Palace Cultivator!"
This warning alerted the co-traveling Primordial Spirit cultivators.
Heavenly Palace Cultivator!?
Without the Heavenly Palace Cultivator among the Xuanming Sect, the one exerting the Divine Sense suppression now was...
"Nine Cauldrons Sect!"
"Be on guard!"
The stifled shouts rose in unison.
Almost simultaneously, the end of the sky tore apart the clouds.
Twin teams of a hundred and eight Sword Cultivators broke through and suddenly entered the line of sight of the Primordial Spirit cultivators and Technique cultivators.
Following that, sword energy skyrocketed!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The sword light from hundreds of Lifebound Flying Swords, as well as the sword curtain formed when enhancing and folding through the formation, filled everyone's vision.
"Sword Cultivators from the Nine Cauldrons Sect!"
Even though everyone had "seen" the suffocating truth emerging before them, the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator in charge of the alert still dutifully let out a nearly despairing shout, issuing a warning.
"Flying Swords incoming!"
