Chapter 2157: 913, Skywind Ridge
Military honors? At a time like this?
Everyone in the hall was slightly startled.
Even Xia Mingtang’s eyes flickered with surprise before he nodded.
“Peak Master Han, rest assured, in this battle, not only will all your Moon-Epassing Peak’s gains be your own, but the All-Epassing Sword Sect will also reward you double ording to the sect’s merit token exchange reward rules.”
Double rewards, during this existential crisis of the sect, are not considered excessive.
However, not many people could receive such rewards.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Most who came for these rewards ultimately copsed.
“Good,” Han Muye nodded slightly and, with a flicker, transformed into Flowing Light.
The others in the hall looked at each other, their expressions changingplex, relieved, worried.
Xia Mingtang’s expression was unchanged, but a trace of cold light shed through his eyes.<div>
“Everyone, although the strength of Moon-Epassing Peak is not weak, it is also not possible topletely fend off this formidable enemy. Let us discuss further and prepare a foolproof strategy,”
Xia Mingtang said solemnly as his gaze swept over the crowd, “When necessary, we can abandon the sect gateway.”
To abandon the sector is to forsake thend to preserve the people.
No one in the hall opposed this.
But then, if the sect already considered abandoning the gateway, why urge Han Muye and his Moon-Epassing Peak to fight to death?
Of course, no one would voice this out loud.
The rebellious Moon-Epassing Peak had too many reasons worthy of sacrifice.
Transformed into Flowing Light, Han Muye returned to Moon-Epassing Peak in just a short amount of time.
All disciples and elders were waiting.
He simply repeated Xia Mingtang’s promise made in the great hall of the Mooncovering Peak.
Although rewards are appealing, one must still be alive to im them.
Everyone knew they couldn’t avoid this, but upon hearing that Moon-Epassing Peak must fight to the death to hold back the enemy, they were still profoundly shaken.
This time, they were truly facing a matter of life and death.
Even Du Chen and the other Dao Realm individuals harbored no assurance of returning alive.
Han Muye saw everyone’s expressions.
“Moon-Epassing Peak will provide additional rewards.”
Additional rewards?
What could possibly be left at Moon-Epassing Peak?
The crowd in the za looked towards Han Muye.<div>
Han Muye called Zhang Mingyuan and Yu Shaogang among others over and whispered a few words.
The men showed surprise but nodded and ran toward the nearby Scripture Pavilion.
Momentster, more than ten, yard-tall stone tablets were moved to the za.
And severalrge boxes.<div>
The stone tablets bore the sword marks of Moon-Epassing Peak’s inheritances.
In the boxes were various armors and pills, all items that could enhancebat strength.
The unsealing of the boxes drew gasps.
“The stone tablets contain the inheritances of Moon-Epassing Peak, exchanged for merit tokens.”
“The items in these boxes are armors and pills, also exchanged for merit tokens,”
With his eyes sweeping around, Han Muye spoke loudly, “All these treasures I will bring to the front line. Kill the enemy to earn achievements and redeem them immediately.”
“Those of Moon-Epassing Peak willing to go to the frontline battleground, pack your things, we leave in half an hour.”
Directly bringing the objects to the front: those who wanted them could earn them on the battlefield by fighting desperately.
Given the lukewarm sense of belonging the disciples of Moon-Epassing Peak felt toward the All-Epassing Sword Sect, expecting them to risk their lives for the sect was improbable.
Only these tangible rewards could motivate them to fight.
Han Muye wasn’t actually sending them to their deaths, nor did he care whether the disciples of Moon-Epassing Peak were truly strong enough; he simply took on his role as the master of Moon-Epassing Peak, then did what a master should do.
Since they had arrived at the Great Pantheon ne, they were to take on the identities within it and do what needed to be done.
Half an hourter, in the square in front of the grand hall of Moon-Epassing Peak, over five hundred disciples stood solemnly.<div>
Two elders, other sect officials, and all the elite disciples had already arrived.
Only nearly a hundred disciples, who knew theycked sufficient strength and that going would mean certain death, quietly withdrew.
Han Muye didn’t bother about those people, he simply called out softly to set off, leading the disciples of Moon-Epassing Peak down the mountain in a majestic procession.
Sword light connected with blood essence, transforming into the phantom of a three-foot-long sword.
In the distance, the elders and peak masters from Moon-Epassing Peak waiting on the mountain all let out a sigh of relief.
Moon-Epassing Peak had truly made a move.
“Hehe, let’s see how long they can hold out,” a white-bearded elder whispered softly.
“Wu Yun, the peak master, should say how long they can stay alive,” another d in a ck robe added with a hint of coldness on his face, “Those who betray the sect deserve to die.”
Perhaps that was what many were thinking, but until now, no one had voiced it.
Now that someone had said it, smiles appeared on many faces.
They just wanted to see how long Moon-Epassing Peak could hold out and how many could survive.
——————————————————
Skywind Ridge.<div>
This was a mountain ridge thousands of miles away from the All-Epassing Sword Sect, stretching for hundreds of miles and towering a thousand feet tall.
Bing known for producing Skywind Stones and Wind Spirit Wood, Skywind Ridge had always had All-Epassing Sword Sect disciples stationed there.
At this moment, the stationed disciples had already fled, leaving only arge green stone house built on the peak.
The people of Moon-Epassing Peak arrived and unapologetically upied it.
“Reporting back to the peak master, the protection array here is still intact, but without enough Great Pantheon Stones to support it, it’s difficult to activate.”
“Peak master, the mines on Skywind Ridge are sealed off, and disciples from various sect alliances are already searching for the mines at the base of the mountain.”
One report after another rang out.
The atmosphere inside the green stone hall gradually grew more somber.
Sect battles involved not only eliminating the enemy’s living forces but more so plundering resources.
Apart from truly irreconcble differences over cultivation technique inheritances, other enmities could be temporarily put aside.
The attack by Heavenly Roaring Sect and other sects against All-Epassing Sword Sect merely seized on its internal strife and weakened state to take over territory and various resources.
The enmities between the sects weren’t that profound.
“I will activate the protection array on Skywind Ridge. All Moon-Epassing Peak disciples fighting within three hundred miles will be supported,”<div>
Han Muye looked at everyone in front of him, his expression calm.
His prowess in Formation Dao was surely top-tier in this ne.
“All merits from defeating enemies can be exchanged for sect rewards, and Moon-Epassing Peak will add another batch on top.”
“Cultivation techniques, pills, armor can all be exchanged for merit tokens.”
Han Muye promised straightforwardly.
His words brought a hint of surprise to everyone’s faces.
This was a promise of double rewards!
“Do not worry, peak master, we will definitely hold back the enemy with all our strength.”
“Peak master, we should set off now and intercept those searching for mines from the outer sects,”
Chants rose loudly.
All disciples were boiling with fervor.
Not to mention their recent improvements in cultivation andbat strength which inted their confidence, the double rewards promised by Han Muye were also irresistible.
Han Muye nodded, ordering Du Chen and others to split the disciples into ten teams, led by Dao Realm Elders, and scatter down the mountain.
As for the mountain, it was left guarded by only dozens of disciples whose cultivation hadn’t progressed past the early to mid stages of the Initial Knowing Realm.
These disciplescked sufficientbat strength but possessed a fervor that brought them along to Skywind Ridge.
Once the teams had descended, Han Muye raised his hand and a stream of Flowing Light appeared around him.
Great Pantheon Stone.
