I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 612 The Number One Sect in Northern Xuan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Jackal's face turned pale and then red, his eyes shifting from shock and resentment to despair and madness. He knew that staying meant certain death, and his instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed his reason!

boom!
With his near-mid-Nascent Soul stage magical power erupting without reservation, Jackal Feather's body shone with dazzling spiritual light, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that shot towards the outer edge of the island with astonishing speed, exerting all his strength.

"You will not be allowed to act presumptuously before me!"

As the Sword Master Tinglan's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and her terrifying spiritual pressure from the Nascent Soul stage was about to crush her, someone beat her to it.

Jiang Yi's Zhaoming Sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath, its clear and melodious sound resounding throughout the heavens and earth. Its purest and most exquisite sword light arrived first, even though it was launched later.

Just as the jackal-feathered escape light was about to touch the sea surface, the sea in front of him shook violently.

A lush, verdant bamboo forest, imbued with a chilling sword intent, rose from the ground. Each bamboo stalk was like a sword, instantly sealing off the jackal's feathers within.

The bamboo forest swayed, and countless golden leaves detached from the branches, transforming into a rain of gold. Each leaf carried a sharp whistling sound that tore through the void, like billions of fine and sharp sword energies shooting and slaying towards the jackal feathers at the center.

"Jiang Heying!!!"

Jackal Feather's protective aura shattered like paper under the dense rain of golden sword energy, and his desperate screams were drowned out by the deafening sword cries.

Having reached the Nascent Soul level, Zhaoming's sword intent, having absorbed three Five Elements Tribulation Lightnings, became even purer and sharper. It would be difficult for cultivators who did not specialize in defense to withstand a hundred moves under his sword intent.

Golden leaves pierced the sky, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the booming sound clashed fiercely with the sound of swords whistling.

In just a few breaths, the suddenly appearing lush green bamboo forest vanished as if it had never existed.

The sea breeze swept by, carrying with it a strong stench of blood.

The jackal's feathers were nowhere to be seen, only a pool of dark red blood remained, washed away by the waves.

An antique-style storage ring was suspended in mid-air, supported by the remaining sword energy.

Jiang Yi raised her hand and the storage ring fell into her palm.

She casually swept her senses across the area, chuckled, and handed the storage ring to Tinglan.

After looking at it, Tinglan suddenly gripped the ring tightly, her face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Inside were not only Jackal's personal belongings, but also a large amount of precious materials that should have been used for the construction of Qiantian Island.

With irrefutable witness testimony and physical evidence, this scoundrel deserves to die!
Tinglan Sword Master's voice was icy, containing the fury of a Nascent Soul cultivator, "This matter will be announced throughout the entire alliance as a warning! The Qiantian Sect has failed in its discipline and has indulged such parasites. The Mountain and Sea Alliance will make them give the entire alliance an explanation."

"Sword Master, an explanation is secondary. What I care about most right now is this place!"

Jiang Yi surveyed the devastated island.

"This island is located right next to my Kunlun Pass. According to the original strategic plan, it and Ziyang Island were supposed to be the two flanking barriers protecting the core of Kunlun Pass. Kunlun Pass is of great importance and cannot be lost. But what about now?"

"Letting a sect like the Qian Tian Sect, which is corrupt from top to bottom and only drags things down, stay here? Forget about protecting Kunlun Pass, I'd be grateful if they didn't become a breakthrough point for the demons and instead dragged my Kunlun Pass to its death! The guardian of this place must be replaced!"

Tinglan's expression was solemn. "The guardians of the 72 Demon-Suppressing Passes, apart from a few core hubs which were designated by the alliance, were all decided by the various sects through a lottery. It was not that the alliance specially arranged for the Qiantian Sect to be here."

“I understand.” Jiang Yi nodded, her tone softening slightly. “But if it weren’t for the Qian Tian Sect’s good fortune in receiving support from the Xuan Ying Sword Sect, this place would have already fallen. The most urgent task is to immediately replace this place with a trustworthy and reliable guardian who can truly defend it and fight alongside Kunlun Pass! We absolutely cannot allow anyone from the Qian Tian Sect to come here again. I will not accept it!”

Jiang Yi's attitude was resolute, and she had the right and confidence to say such things. Her choice of this place, and the naming of it Kunlun Pass, spoke volumes.

Following Jiang Yi's guidance, Tinglan Sword Master's gaze naturally fell on Jiang Yurong, who had been standing silently to the side, and the dozen or so Xuan Ying Sword Sect disciples behind her with resolute eyes.

Tinglan already knew the answer in her heart.

The iron-blooded fighting power, efficient teamwork, fearlessness of demonic energy, and the sense of responsibility shown in the memory stone just now all prove that this force is the most suitable candidate at this moment.

Moreover, Tinglan was just worrying about how to keep Jiang Yurong and the others, people that even Jiang Yunye couldn't keep.

Now, she and Jiang Yi hit it off immediately.

Moreover, seeing Jiang Yurong's slightly shifted gaze, yet her feet firmly planted in place, Tinglan knew that Jiang Yurong was also somewhat tempted.

Jiang Yurong probably still has the pride of being the head of a sect, and is unwilling to join any sect in the Eastern Continent, wanting to establish her own sect.

Tinglan nodded slightly. She admired such a person because she herself could not do it. Having someone to rely on was much easier than carrying a group of people and starting from scratch.

Xu Manxiu and the other Xuan Ying disciples keenly realized what might happen next, and a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in their eyes.

If we can guard a pass, we will not only have a foothold, but also have more opportunities to rebuild the Xuan Ying Sword Sect.

"Sword Master," Jiang Yi said clearly and solemnly, "let me reintroduce you to this person. This is Jiang Yurong, the Sect Master of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Northern Profound Realm! Under the leadership of the Alliance Leader of the Northern Profound Immortal Alliance, Sect Master Jiang has commanded nine major sects and has held the land ravaged by demonic calamities for over a hundred years. Her command abilities, experience in resisting demonic attacks, and swordsmanship are all of the highest caliber!"

"His disciples are all battle-hardened veterans, unafraid of demonic corruption, skilled in coordinated attacks, and iron-blooded talents. If Sect Master Jiang and his Xuan Ying Sword Sect disciples were to guard this island, it would surely become the most solid barrier of Kunlun Pass, working together to resist the demons and living up to the name of the Demon-Suppressing Pass!"

This was the first time Jiang Yurong had heard Jiang Yi praise her and the Xuan Ying Sword Sect to outsiders so formally, right in front of her. Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, her fingers tensed, and she forcibly suppressed these inexplicable emotions.

But the disciples of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect behind her, including Xu Manxiu, couldn't help but grin and laugh. Some of the more shy ones even turned red on their necks, scratching their heads and faces in embarrassment.

Are we really as good as our senior sister says?

"That's right, I thought that in Senior Sister's eyes, Cangling Sect was the number one sect in Beixuan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled and explained, "No, the Cangling Sect is the number one sect in the Northern Xuan for controlling demons, while the Xuanying Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Northern Xuan!"

Not just the number one sword sect, but the number one sect!
Like most sects, Xuan Ying Sword Sect has its own bad apples and various problems, but this does not diminish the extent of everything Xuan Ying Sword Sect has done for Bei Xuan.

For over a hundred years, the demonic tide ravaged Beixuan. The Xuan Ying Sword Sect had the most members on the front lines of the demonic tide, and also suffered the most casualties.

Even though the Xuan Ying Sword Sect now has very few members left and is practically defunct, Tinglan still addressed him earnestly, "Sect Master Jiang, would you be willing to accompany me back to the alliance to discuss this matter?"

Jiang Yurong looked back at Xu Manxiu and the others' expectant, excited, and thrilled faces. For both personal and professional reasons, she couldn't refuse this request.

"it is good."

In the end, Tinglan left with Jiang Yurong, Jackal Feather's storage ring, and Cheng Mingda as a witness, leaving Jiang Yi to temporarily look after the Qiantian Sect's base. The fate of the remaining people was also left to her to decide.

　See you tomorrow!
