Chapter 15 Reunion After the Calamity

　　Before San Yue could react, the darkness that had covered his sight disappeared.

　　Startled, he subconsciously looked back.

　　The dark figure that had tried to kill him was already rushing up the steps like a gust of wind, closely following another, even faster dark figure, disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.

　　Am I... still alive?

　　Coming back to his senses, San Yue collapsed to the ground, his mind still buzzing.

　　Around him, the senior brothers who had been standing guard with him had turned into碎块 (suì kuài, pieces), not a single one left alive!

　　San Yue was thinking when the distant screams of Qi Yue, who had been thrown away, made him smile wryly.

　　Yes, Qi Yue had also survived.

　　But... what did that black-robed man mean? Did he know me?

　　Yes! That must be it. Only then would the black-robed man have deliberately spared me!

　　But who could it be…

　　San Yue, experiencing a narrow escape, felt his mind somewhat confused. For a moment, he couldn't think of who the dark figure was.

　　Because... the dark figure was too strong!

　　So strong that it was incomprehensible!

　　The senior brother Fou, who had been reduced to corpses on the ground, was a Second-Rate Innate Realm expert!

　　Senior brother Qing had First-Rate Innate strength!

　　Senior brother Shang, their team leader, was in the Human Realm! There were even rumors that he could fight Human-Stage experts without falling behind.

　　But even with such a configuration, such a lineup, they couldn't even last a second in front of that dark figure.

　　Like a storm passing through, everything was directly crushed by the dark figure, who then left triumphantly!

　　"Have I really known someone so strong before..."

　　As San Yue was lost in thought, his friend list suddenly lit up with a message notification.

　　"Is Tianlong back to the sect?"

　　Startled, San Yue quickly opened the message list, wanting to remind Tianlong of the current situation of the Blazing Sun Sect. However, what entered his eyes after opening the message was...

　　"Night Dawn: Immediately take Qi Yue away from the Blazing Sun Sect and go to the capital to seek refuge with You Sisi."

　　Night, Brother Night?!

　　Wait! Could it be that the dark figure just now was…

　　The thoughts in his mind suddenly became clear, and San Yue was extremely excited.

　　Brother Night, has become so strong!

　　This thick thigh, I didn't hug the wrong one!

　　Looking up, his eyes widened.

　　The steps halfway up the mountain were actually covered with a layer of silver, turning into a path of ice and snow, spreading all the way up. And at the forefront of the ice and snow, two dark figures were still sprinting upwards at inhuman speeds, unstoppable wherever they went!

　　Long-lost passion surged from his heart, and San Yue felt that he suddenly had the motivation to become stronger again.

　　Running towards Qi Yue, amidst Qi Yue's complaining yet sweet gaze, San Yue led him down the mountain.

　　……

　　Blazing Sun Plaza.

　　Bang!!

　　Under the combined attack of the Blazing Sun Sect's higher-ups, the entire formation shattered, turning into a soaring pillar of fire, and in an instant, a force of frost frantically spread upwards from the bottom, completely solidifying it into a huge ice pillar. Accompanied by the sound of cracking, the ice pillar developed numerous cracks and shattered with a bang, turning into ice shards scattered all over the sky.

　　As these ice shards shot out in all directions, the vast mist gathered in the Blazing Sun Hall burst out from the formation, engulfing the entire Blazing Sun Plaza.

　　"Now's the time!"

　　"Everyone, charge together! Escape the Blazing Sun Sect!"

　　The roars of the Glacial Peak Sect members came from the thick fog, and a dozen figures took advantage of the cover of the fog to run towards the stone platform at the mountain gate.

　　However…

　　"Where do you think you're going!"

　　With a loud bang!

　　The Blazing Sun Sect Master burst out with a scorching light like the sun, directly burning the surrounding air, blasting a spherical void in the thick fog near him.

　　And along with it, the elite disciples of the Glacial Peak Sect who had been rushing at the front were also blasted away.

　　They were all lying on the ground, wailing and screaming, either with missing arms and legs or with obvious scars from high-temperature burns, huge blisters, and deformed bodies.

　　Until a cold snort sounded, a gust of frost swept through.

　　Freezing the injuries of the wounded with frost, they barely managed to regain their spirits from the pain.

　　"Sect Master!"

　　"Don't panic, we still have the Sect Master! Our Glacial Peak Sect hasn't lost yet!"

　　These elite disciples shouted excitedly.

　　However, the Glacial Peak Sect Master and other elders looked grim.

　　Because the difference between the two sides in terms of strength and numbers was very obvious. Not to mention that they had consumed a lot of power to break the formation earlier. In this state, fighting against the Blazing Sun Sect was almost impossible to win.

　　But continuing to sit and wait for death was just waiting to die.

　　Only by breaking the formation, only by breaking the formation, could they find a glimmer of hope!

　　"That's right, isn't it, Elder Sixteen."

　　"That's right."

　　Elder Sixteen responded, then walked in front of everyone, step by step towards the Blazing Sun Sect.

　　In the bewildered eyes of the Glacial Peak Sect Master and others, Elder Sixteen smiled and stood beside the Blazing Sun Sect and others, turning to look at them.

　　"Only in this way will you weaken your strength, and only then will we be able to strike you all in one fell swoop!"

　　"You?!"

　　The Glacial Peak Sect members widened their eyes in shock. Elder Sixteen was also a traitor?!

　　But clearly, he was with us before, trapped in the formation, in a desperate situation. That kind of expression could not have been faked!

　　"Hahahaha! Sect Master Bing, don't you understand yet? This Elder Sixteen is 'temporarily' defecting. That formation is, after all, our Blazing Sun Sect's mountain protection formation. It's still not a problem to contact the people inside. After a simple exchange, this Elder Sixteen made a wise choice."

　　The Blazing Sun Sect Master laughed loudly, and beside him, the man who was originally Elder Sixteen of the Glacial Peak Sect knelt down flatteringly.

　　"Sect Master Huo, from now on, this lowly one will be the Blazing Sun Sect's dog, and will never have any second thoughts!"

　　The Blazing Sun Sect Master nodded with a laugh, but anyone familiar with the Blazing Sun Sect Master's style knew that this Elder Sixteen would be secretly dealt with by the Sect Master within a month.

　　This was different from the formation elder Dai La, who was an undercover agent. Dai La was truly cultivated by the Blazing Sun Sect itself, sent to the Glacial Peak Sect, and would reliably send back intelligence every certain period of time!

　　This Elder Sixteen, who temporarily changed sides, also wanted such treatment? What was the difference between that and dreaming?

　　"Unexpectedly, even at this point, you Blazing Sun Sect are still scheming against us..."

　　The Glacial Peak Sect Master was trembling with anger at the traitor. After reaching the extreme of anger, the spirit of the whole person suddenly aged a lot, and became a lot more颓然 (tuí rán, dispirited).

　　His expression was somewhat desperate and sorrowful.

　　Looking at the people around him, compared to the prosperous Glacial Peak Sect, there were no longer many familiar faces.

　　Perhaps when he learned about the prophecy of the Pillar of Fortune and the news of that ancient relic, he should not have rashly sent people out to investigate.
