Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Chapter 187 Suppression

"Whiz!"@@@@

The sword light tore through the sky.

A hundred and forty-six Great Cultivators from Xuanming Sect, led by the Great Elder of the Elders' Council, Song Xuan, were rushing towards Fangyuan Island at their top speed.

While heading to Fangyuan Island, they were also constantly communicating with Lv Ming, who was stationed on the island, ensuring smooth communication between them.

Additionally, their Heavenly Palace Hall was also making every effort to search for the whereabouts of the sword cultivators from the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Despite the fast-moving group of over a hundred cultivators from Nine Cauldrons Sect, with information provided by the hastily set-up "Observation Outposts," they could still roughly estimate the whereabouts of the Great Cultivators from Nine Cauldrons Sect.

"They are getting closer and closer to Fangyuan Island, we need to speed up!"

Song Xuan urged the cultivators behind him.

"Although Fangyuan Island does not have many formations, the strongest is the amplifying formation, but there are also two Fifth Level defensive formations, with these two formations for defense, plus our own strength which is not weak, Nine Cauldrons Sect won't be able to touch Fangyuan Island in three to five hours,"

said a Third Rank Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator unhurriedly behind him.

"The formations on Fangyuan Island are ultimately set up by Nine Cauldrons Sect, who knows if they left any backdoors in these formations? If they brought an Array Master and quickly break through the two major defensive formations, by the time we get there, Fangyuan Island might have already fallen,"

Song Xuan, however, appeared very cautious.

"Judging by the speed at which the Nine Cauldrons Sect's sword cultivators are traveling, if they really brought an Array Master, there is no way they could fly so fast."

The sword cultivator laughed, "Instead of worrying about not arriving at Fangyuan Island in time, you should be more anxious that if our move is detected by Nine Cauldrons Sect, they'll immediately change their tactic and retreat back to the Nine Heavens Domain."

"The sword cultivators sent out for scouting all carry Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators with them, they will handle any target that might expose us... Although this method is not reliable, but... even if Nine Cauldrons Sect detected our arrival, at most, they will turn their attention to us, instead of retreating easily, otherwise, after going to such lengths to deploy so many cultivators into the Eastern Sea, if they were to retreat without a fight, where would Nine Cauldrons Sect's face be?"

The Third Rank sword cultivator was about to say something, when a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator approached, "Great Elder, something is not quite right."

"What is it?"

"I've been in contact with the Hall Master, although he has been responding to my messages, but... I feel there is something off about the style of his responses."

"The style of his responses is off?"

Song Xuan was slightly startled, then quickly asked, "What about the secret code? Does it match?"

"It does match, and I have cross-verified it in other ways, it's just... I still feel something is not quite right..."

the Primordial Spirit Cultivator said with a heavy heart.

"If everything has been verified and there are no issues, then that means there is likely not a big problem."

The sword cultivator said, "Perhaps because the battle is about to break out, you are too nervous, leading to a sense of excessive worry, which is why you feel anxious."

The Primordial Spirit Cultivator, on hearing this, showed a bitter smile, "Perhaps that's it, I..."

He did not finish his words when a sword cultivator flying at the front seemed to see something with the "naked eye," his pupils suddenly contracted.

As the light shadow that tore through the clouds approached, the sword cultivator could not help but issue a piercing shout that cut through the clouds, "Flying swords incoming!"

"Flying swords!?"

"Where are those flying swords coming from!"

"Counterattack!"

Surprise, shock, disbelief, and hastily caught-on shouts instantly rose among the people of Xuanming Sect.

Just like now, under the blockade and suppression of the Heavenly Palace cultivators, all the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators of Xuanming Sect's side were completely suppressed, becoming mere numbers, and were utterly unable to provide any support to their side.

Looking at his own flustered Primordial Spirits, Song Xuan knew that all he could rely on was the sword in his hand.

Immediately, he gave a fierce shout, "Sixth Junior Brother, you lead the Foundation Establishment Technique Cultivators and Primordial Spirit cultivators to break through. The rest of you, follow the trajectory of the incoming flying swords and attack for me! Let us turn the impossible into the possible, fight a desperate battle under extreme conditions, overturn the situation, and create a legend for Xuanming Sect and the entire Eastern Sea!"

"Yes!"

The commanded sword cultivators responded, their will to fight high and their eyes filled with determination to go from death to life.

But at this moment, another divine sense spread among everyone: "This area has been completely controlled by the Heavenly Palace cultivators of the Nine Cauldrons Sect. Technique Cultivators and Primordial Spirit cultivators have no chance of outrunning Nine Cauldrons Sect's sword cultivators. How could they escape? It's actually us, the sword cultivators, who should scatter and flee; each one who escapes is one more that survives, enabling us to better preserve the life force of our Sect! Therefore, letting the Foundation Establishment Technique Cultivators and Primordial Spirit cultivators cover our retreat is the correct path. Fellow sword cultivators! Let us scatter and break out!"

This surge of divine sense caused an emotional stir among the sword cultivators of the Xuanming Sect.

Many seemed to think it made sense.

In the face of life and death, not every sword cultivator possesses the conviction to sacrifice for others and seek life within death.

"Ridiculous! Wouldn't scattering and fleeing just lead to being defeated one by one?"

Song Xuan noticed the shifting morale and shouted fiercely.

But after the shout, he immediately realized something was amiss: "Wait, whose divine sense is this!?"

"It's the Heavenly Palace cultivators of the Nine Cauldrons Sect interfering with us!"

One Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator clearly felt the disguise and outburst of that divine sense just now.

Song Xuan was about to say more, but then another batch of sword lights appeared on the horizon.

The second wave of swords, slower but more adept at slaughter, formed a sword array that swept over like a ferocious storm.

That overwhelming and frightening sword qi immediately changed Song Xuan's complexion as his divine sense burst forth: "Form up!"

"Buzz buzz!"

Almost perceptible divine senses exploded from the void, the force of his own spreading divine sense communication directly scattered by this wave of divine sense.

As a result...

Except for a few nearby individuals, the more distant sword cultivators still acted as if fighting on their own.

This outcome left him in a daze.

Their communication...

Could only be done by shouting now?

The tactical arrangement, also had to be yelled out?

With the swift speeds of Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators, a single maneuver could span dozens or hundreds of miles, yet his voice was that loud?

This...

Was hopeless!

Song Xuan felt extremely frustrated.

But before he could vent out his frustration, another divine sense explosion resonated in everyone's minds.

What made him nearly spit blood was that this divine sense was imitating his own vibration!

"Retreat! Quick, retreat! Save yourselves if you can!"
