Chapter 215 - 210: A Glimmer of Hope in the Darkness
Talking about Enlightenment Dao, he was attacked by four experts and had no choice but to escape into Sword Cliff.
The disciples of Mount Shu inside Sword Cliff were shocked to see him and began attacking with their sword artifacts. Enlightenment Dao bellowed, "Hold! It’s me!"
Xu Hai and Xu Qing, two brothers, recognized the person and hastily shouted, "Stop!"
Enlightenment Dao steadied his footing and saw that Sword Cliff was filled with disciples from the lineage of Mount Shu, all of whom were extremely agitated.
"It is indeed the senior!" Xu Hai exclaimed with joy.
"Hmm!" Enlightenment Dao gave a slight nod.
The swarm of Mount Shu’s disciples hurriedly paid their respects and asked about the situation outside Sword Cliff.
Enlightenment Dao nodded in response and said, "Outside, there are many experts from the Demon Path assembled, a vast crowd, and they are currently attacking Sword Cliff. It’s very dangerous."
Xu Hai clenched his teeth and said, "It’s detestable that the traitor stole a corner of the formation’s seal mark, otherwise these people would never be able to breach our sword formation!"
The sword formation of Shu Mountain was forged by the ancient Patriarchs with great effort and labor. Even experts of the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Third Layer might not be able to break through it. However, as the formation was activated, a traitor stole a corner seal mark, thus preventing the sword formation from operating at full capacity. This allowed people from the Demon Path to breach it at its weakest point, causing heavy casualties in Shu Mountain and forcing them to retreat into Sword Cliff. Nevertheless, this was their last retreat. If Sword Cliff were breached, they would have no choice but to engage in a desperate fight to the death with the Demon Path. However, the Demon Path was formidable and outnumbered them, not to mention they had many more powerful experts than Shu Mountain. If they really started an all-out fight, Shu Mountain would likely only face defeat.
Enlightenment Dao said solemnly, "Don’t panic! Those sects haven’t sent help yet, which probably means that the jade talismans you sent out have been intercepted. Only I received Xu Hai’s jade talisman, which is why I rushed here. The Sword Dao Will of this Sword Cliff can protect you temporarily, but it can’t protect you forever. We must think of a solution quickly."
