Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: Decision

After Tang Wenrou, Qin Yaorao, and others, other high-ranking members and disciples of the Huaxia Sect also expressed their opinions and views.

The hot-blooded faction advocated fighting to the end and never retreating; the calm and composed faction advocated temporarily avoiding confrontation to preserve strength.

In her heart, Fang Yun, too, was unwilling to retreat and wanted to use the full strength of the sect to resist the Lieyang Sect to the end.

But as the Sect Master, Fang Yun knew that the decision she made concerned the life and death of thousands of disciples of the Huaxia Sect and could not act impulsively and rashly.

"If only my younger brother were here, how wonderful would that be!"

During her moment of indecision, Fang Yun suddenly thought of her younger brother, Fang Bai.

In Fang Yun’s opinion, Fang Bai’s talents far surpassed her own. Even in the Secular World, his strength was much greater than hers. Now in the True Martial Realm, where she had already become a Vast Level Martial Artist, Fang Bai’s achievements must certainly be even higher.

Fang Yun believed that if Fang Bai were here, he would definitely lead the disciples of the Huaxia Sect to repel the invading enemies like the Lieyang Sect.

However, when they first arrived at the True Martial Realm, the Teleportation Array malfunctioned, causing them and Fang Bai to be scattered to different locations. Since then, despite extensive efforts to find him, no trace or news of Fang Bai had been discovered.

Nevertheless, Fang Yun and the others did not lose hope. They firmly believed that Fang Bai must be living in some area of the True Martial Realm, and with his strength, he must be living well.

They believed that Fang Bai was also searching for them, and perhaps one day, they, the martial artists from the Secular World, would be reunited.

Not long ago, news of a martial artist named Fang Bai attacking a port of the Tianji Sect spread, and upon hearing this, Fang Yun and others were greatly heartened.

To confirm whether the Fang Bai who had clashed with the Tianji Sect was the Fang Bai they knew, Fang Yun immediately dispatched several capable disciples of the Huaxia Sect to the port where the conflict occurred to investigate.

However, it would take several months for a round trip from the Huaxia Sect to the port of the Tianji Sect, and during this period, they could only wait patiently for news to return.

When the Lieyang Sect attacked, not only Fang Yun thought of Fang Bai, but also other relatives and friends who were close to him.

"If Fang Bai were here, he would surely make those from the Lieyang Sect retreat without return!"

Tang Wenrou envisioned Fang Bai’s figure, her normally cool and beautiful face showing a rare tenderness.

"Yes, it would be great if Fang Bai were here!"

Ye Wumei sighed deeply, reminiscing about the various events she experienced with Fang Bai in the Secular World, her thoughts drifting away.

Qin Yaorao said, "I have a premonition that the Fang Bai who caused trouble at the Tianji Sect port is definitely the one we know!"

Dragon Maiden nodded deeply in agreement, "It must be him! A martial artist around twenty years old, yet able to kill a high-ranking member and dozens of elite disciples of the Tianji Sect... who else could it be but the Fang Bai we know?"

"Oh heavens, please make our master appear soon! With our master here, there’s nothing to fear!"

In the Huaxia Sect, the youngest disciple Shi Xiaolian clasped her hands together, muttering to herself.

Back when she lived in the remote Shigong Village of Huaxia with her Grandfather, the young girl Shi Xiaolian happened upon Fang Bai, changing her fate ever since. Later, she left her hometown to seek Fang Bai and became his disciple, studying Martial Arts Techniques alongside his other disciples.

Although Shi Xiaolian was still just a young girl, her strength rapidly increased after Fang Bai activated her Innate Spiritual Root. Now, she was a Desolate Level Perfection Martial Artist, just one step away from advancing to the rank of Vast Level Martial Artist.

Hearing the words of Tang Wenrou and others, Fang Yun couldn’t help but smile bitterly and sigh. Although she hoped Fang Bai would suddenly appear and save the situation, she knew it was unrealistic. To protect the lives of the Sect Disciples of the Huaxia Sect, she had to pin her hopes on herself and the others.

After weighing the options, Fang Yun’s gaze gradually steadied. Her eyes swept across the faces of the thousands of Huaxia Sect Disciples gathered around her, and she crisply commanded, "Disciples of the Huaxia Sect, listen to my order: pack your belongings and retreat from this place in two hours!"

She paused, her gaze falling on Tang Wenrou and Dragon Maiden, and apologetically said, "The Lieyang Sect and other Sects have come aggressively. For the sake of the disciples’ lives, I have no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand!"

Although Tang Wenrou and Dragon Maiden felt somewhat regretful about Fang Yun’s decision, they would neither resist nor be angry about it.

Set aside the fact that Fang Yun held the status of Sect Master, she was also Fang Bai’s true elder sister. After arriving in the True Martial Realm’s Shenwu Continent, she shared joys and sorrows with everyone like sisters, and due to these facts, Tang Wenrou and Dragon Maiden would not ignore her command.

At that moment, Tang Wenrou and Dragon Maiden gave Fang Yun a fist salute, then turned and went back to their rooms to pack their belongings.

Ye Wumei and Qin Yaorao, seeing that the two women weren’t causing a scene, heaved a sigh of relief and also returned to their rooms to pack.

The other Martial Artists dispersed.

Two hours later, thousands of Huaxia Sect Disciples packed some clothes and Cultivation Resources into their Spatial Rings, emerged from their rooms, and gathered again at the plaza by the big lake.

"Let’s set out!"

Fang Yun turned to glance at the distantly layered houses by the mountain, touched the tears that had spilled over the corners of her eyes, and with a fierce wave of her slender hand toward the deep mountains, declared, "Our new destination is the Red Moon Mountain Range, thousands of miles away!"

The Red Moon Mountain Range, located a thousand miles away in a barren area, had lesser Essence Energy quality and quantity compared to their current location, and the Spiritual Medicine was not as abundant. However, the mountain range was bustling with countless fierce birds and savage beasts, not an ideal place for Martial Artists to live.

Thus, despite its vast area, few Martial Artists chose to reside or Cultivate there, let alone establish a Sect.

Therefore, many Huaxia Sect Disciples, despite knowing it was only a temporary refuge, couldn’t help but feel greatly disappointed, showing a listless demeanor.

However, just as the first batch of disciples had set out a few hundred meters, a wave of shouting, getting louder from afar, ensued, soon after, thousands of Martial Artists wielding Spiritual Artifacts, brimming with Killing Qi, rushed toward them.

"They are Lieyang Sect Disciples!"

One of the Huaxia Sect Disciples shouted, immediately causing a stir.

Just moments before, two Huaxia Sect Disciples who had been sent out to gather intelligence on the incoming threat from the Lieyang Sect and others reported that thousands of Lieyang Sect Disciples were still hundreds of miles away and couldn’t arrive any time soon.

Yet no one expected that the disciples from the Lieyang Sect and the other four major Sects would appear like divine soldiers descending from the sky, suddenly appearing on the path where the Huaxia Sect Disciples were about to leave.

Facing this situation, even the simplest Huaxia Sect Disciple could guess that the two who reported the military intelligence had lied, placing thousands of Huaxia Sect Disciples in jeopardy.

In an instant, almost all Huaxia Sect Disciples turned their gazes to the two informants who had lied about the military intelligence, with every glance filled with fury.
