Upon hearing Wu You and the other two suddenly speak up, each showing expressions of surprise, the rest were startled.

Are more people from the Flame Moon Sect coming?

And what about the Great Dao Sect and the other three major cultivation families, did they come together?

Wu You and the other two stood up and headed outside the cave.

The others followed suit.

At the mouth of the cave, a small and concealed array masked all the auras inside, making it invisible from the outside.

Outside the cave, Wu You and the other three looked around the sky.

"Over there, it's indeed the sect's communication talisman," Zhou Hao quickly said.

Wu You and Zhuo Donglai looked in the direction Zhou Hao pointed, indeed seeing a faint, fire-red crescent moon totem in the void over there.

This is the symbol of the Flame Moon Sect.

Once this communication talisman is used, it can release a special energy, allowing all disciples who practice the Flame Moon Sect cultivation technique to sense its location within a specific range.

Wu You immediately took out a communication talisman from his storage bag, channeled mana, and the talisman flew into the sky, blooming with the same crescent moon totem.

"Let's go and greet them," Wu You stepped onto his flying sword and flew in that direction.

Zhuo Donglai and Zhou Hao followed suit.

The people from the Great Dao Sect and the other three aristocratic families glanced at each other, and one person said: "Should we follow them and take a look?"

"Why are only the people from the Flame Moon Sect sending a signal?"

"Yeah, didn't anyone from the Great Dao Sect come over?"

"Let's go take a look. Perhaps they came together, so there's no need to use more communication talismans."

"True, let's go and see."

After a few words, they all flew on their flying swords, chasing after the three from the Flame Moon Sect.

Elsewhere, Bai Yu and Jin Ling were overjoyed when they saw the response from the Flame Moon Sect disciples.

Jin Ling praised, "Brother Bai Yu is truly impressive, able to precisely locate their hiding spot."

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's just good luck. Since Xiang Yuncong's remains were buried here, it indicates that the disciples of the Flame Moon Sect have appeared here before. The spiritual energy concentration in this area is quite decent, so the likelihood of them staying nearby is very high."

"Indeed, let's head over," Jin Ling said, "I wonder what their situation is, how many of the six fellow disciples who came over are left."

Bai Yu's heart sank slightly, nodded, and said, "Let's meet up with them first."

Saying this, they flew over on a spirit ship.

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the two sides discovered each other in the sky.

Wu You and the other two were the first to spot this spirit boat. Zhuo Donglai's expression showed slight movement as he said in surprise, "Why did they come by spirit boat, and there are only two of them?"

Zhou Hao said, "Could it be that they got separated from the others?"

"That's possible," Wu You said.

As he spoke, he shouted toward the front, "Which fellow disciples are coming?"

"It's me, Junior Brother Wu You," Bai Yu's voice came.

Wu You was delighted and said, "So, it's Senior Brother Bai Yu."

As the two sides conversed, the distance between them closed.

Behind them, eight people from the Great Dao Sect and the three major cultivation families also caught up. They saw only a small spirit boat both in the distance and vaguely standing two silhouettes on it. They showed expressions of doubt.

Why are only disciples from the Flame Moon Sect present?

The two sides soon gathered together.

Bai Yu and Jin Ling saw only Wu You, Zhuo Donglai, and Zhou Hao. They were somewhat curious, and Bai Yu quickly asked, "Three junior brothers, where are the other three?"

Wu You and the others looked somber and said bitterly, "Senior Brother Xiang Yuncong, along with Ma Kui and Tong Baichuan, have already perished, killed by enemy hands."

Bai Yu and Jin Ling had already seen Xiang Yuncong's corpse, yet they didn't know that Ma Kui and Tong Baichuan had also died, feeling horror within their hearts.

Jin Ling exclaimed, "How could this be? This world seems to have just undergone spiritual energy revival, and we didn't encounter any fearsome cultivators along the way, it seemed just like a mid-level martial world. How could three of our fellow brothers perish?"

Before Wu You and the others could respond, the eight people behind them had already arrived.

A disciple of the Great Dao Sect cupped his hands in greeting to Bai Yu and asked, "Friend Bai Yu, didn't the Great Dao Sect send anyone with you?"

People from the other three cultivation families also looked at Bai Yu and Jin Ling.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "This time, it was only Jin Ling Junior Sister and me."

"Ah?"

Including Wu You, Zhuo Donglai, and Zhou Hao, everyone was shocked.

Wu You asked, "Senior Brother Bai Yu, why did only you two come? Didn't other sects and families send reinforcements?"

Upon hearing the word "reinforcements," Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat, casting a puzzled glance at the crowd, then looked toward Wu You and asked, "Junior brother, what exactly happened? Weren't there initially eighteen of you together? Why are there only eleven of you now?"

"Indeed," Jin Ling followed up with a question.

Wu You's expression dimmed, and he painfully said, "The other seven have all perished at the hands of the enemy."

"How could it be?" Bai Yu exclaimed in shock.

Previously, upon hearing the news of Xiang Yuncong, Ma Kui, and Tong Baichuan's deaths and seeing that the others in the coalition were also incomplete, Bai Yu already suspected this, but hearing it confirmed by Wu You, he was still shocked.

Those seven were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Especially if he remembered correctly, Chai Xun from the Great Dao Sect also came over.

This person was quite a formidable figure among Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Southern Domain, and yet he wasn't here. Could he have died too?

How is that possible?

Along the way, all Earth cultivators they encountered were extremely weak. How could Foundation Establishment cultivators have perished here, and seven at once at that?

Everyone began to speak, and soon each started recounting their experiences after arriving on Earth.

Bai Yu and Jin Ling were dumbfounded, occasionally making exclamatory sounds.

"Turns out it was the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect causing trouble."

"What? The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were being coerced by an Earth cultivator, forced to bow down?"

"Chai Xun and Xiang Yuncong both died at the hand of the same person?"

"Six people died the first time facing the enemy?"

Bai Yu and Jin Ling were utterly stunned, feeling paralyzed.

If these people hadn't come from different sects, they would have suspected it was a ploy.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Bai Yu said to Wu You, "You mean, even after using the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, Xiang Yuncong was still subdued by the enemy's magic treasure, leaving his body seized by you, and shortly afterward, you sensed his primordial spirit extinguished, leading to his death?"

"Yes." Wu You gestured to those around him and said, "Everyone present witnessed it. If we weren't certain that Brother Xiang had died, we wouldn't have buried his body."

"Indeed, at that time, Xiang Yuncong was truly dead and beyond saving. The few fellow disciples from the Flame Moon Sect preserved his body for a few days, waiting for the visible decomposition before burying him."

"Our senior Brother Chai Xun and the other three fellow brothers were simultaneously subdued by that kid named Yang Fei with a silver whip magic treasure, even having their bodies seized. Their life and death remain unknown, but it seems grim."

Bai Yu and Jin Ling's expressions became supremely grave.

Jin Ling angrily said, "That scoundrel Du Hui dared to deceive us earlier, and later they dispatched a spirit ship to chase us, likely planning to deal with us."

Bai Yu's eyes flashed with cold light, nodding, "Indeed, that bastard chose to disregard any past bonds and intended to kill us."

A disciple from the Great Dao Sect said, "Friend Bai Yu, our spirit ship was seized by the enemy. It's good you're here; quickly heed to the spirit boat and return to fetch reinforcements."
