Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 737 - 372: After Darkness, Comes the Light_2

Shortly after Li Yunjing and his companions left the treasure trove, another group of disciples from the "Qiuye Sword Sect" returned to "Qiuye Island".

This group appeared panic-stricken and disheveled.

They were cultivators from the "Qiuye Sword Sect" who had escaped from the front lines.

Leading them was an imposing figure, none other than the Sect Leader of the "Qiuye Sword Sect", Qiu Wuhen.

Qiu Wuhen looked at the chaotic island and the more than two thousand disarmed disciples with a terrifyingly grim expression.

"What is going on!"

The Sect Leader had returned, his face dark and cold as he glared at the disciples standing below him.

Unable to withstand the pressure, one of them quietly explained the situation.

"Damn it! Someone has invaded our territory! You worthless fools chose to surrender?"

Qiu Wuhen's face was as dark as water, and if not for the large number of disciples, he would have executed them all.

"Uh…"

The crowd of disciples below were extremely frightened, each lowering their heads, not daring to speak.

"Someone has infiltrated the forbidden area and taken the 'Autumn Leaf Divine Sword'!"

Qiu Wuhen gritted his teeth and said, "Pass down my order, the entire sect must retrieve the Divine Sword at any cost!"

"Yes!"

The disciples responded in unison and quickly dispersed to begin the pursuit.

This included the people who had surrendered earlier!

These people were never particularly loyal to Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing, and with Qiu Wuhen, the Sect Leader of the "Qiuye Sword Sect" back, they now had a figure to follow!

In an instant, the cohesion of the entire "Qiuye Sword Sect" greatly increased, and they rushed towards the mountain gate.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing had already left the "Sword Qi Hall" and were preparing to gather resources elsewhere.

Suddenly, they saw experts from the "Qiuye Sword Sect" in the sky, and especially Zeng Jin's face changed dramatically as he couldn't help but exclaim, "The Sect Leader has returned!"

Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing were shocked, knowing full well that the Sect Leader of the "Qiuye Sword Sect" was a formidable Golden Core Realm Third Heaven expert!

This person had managed to escape from the battlefield and quickly return!

"Zeng Jin, are you staying or coming with us?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Li Yunjing asked.

"I will go with you! Staying here means certain death!"

Zeng Jin shivered at these words, terrified that Li Yunjing would abandon him.

He was the first to betray the sect!

If Qiu Wuhen caught him, he wouldn't just be killed, even a quick death would be a luxury!

Under these circumstances, Zeng Jin barely thought and immediately decided to follow Li Yunjing!

"Brother Li, what should we do next?"

Liao Wanqing also asked.

Li Yunjing's eyes were resolute as he said, "First, we leave 'Qiuye Island'!"

Liao Wanqing nodded and said, "Alright, I'll follow your lead."

"Qiu Wuhen's cultivation is profound; engaging him directly is not wise! Let's go!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing had already cast the "Cyan Cloud Ship", and the three of them boarded, ready to flee.

"Hmph! Thieves! You think you can escape?"

Watching the "Cyan Cloud Ship" fly off, Qiu Wuhen sneered repeatedly.

He looked at the disciples beside him and ordered, "I will return shortly! Gather all the disciples and resources on the island! We can't stay on this Qiuye Island any longer!"

"Yes, Sect Leader! We understand!"

Some trusted Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators loudly responded.

They understood well that "Qiuye Island" was lost, and if they stayed, they would be dead for sure when the "East Sea Alliance" arrived.

The Sect Leader would pursue the intruders from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", while the disciples gathered everything they could to revive the sect elsewhere.

On the other side, as the "Cyan Cloud Ship" just escaped "Qiuye Island", a cold and severe cry echoed behind them, "Thieves from 'Shenxiao Dao Sect', stop!"

"Not good! The Sect Leader is chasing us!"

On the "Cyan Cloud Ship", Zeng Jin's face turned deathly pale, nearly wetting his pants.

"What are you afraid of! He hasn't caught up yet, has he?"

Li Yunjing glared at him coldly.

At this moment, Li Yunjing looked back and saw Qiu Wuhen standing on his flying sword, surrounded by sword qi, with an imposing aura.

The Sect Leader of the "Qiuye Sword Sect" had eyes as cold as frost, locked onto the three on the "Cyan Cloud Ship", especially Zeng Jin.

"Zeng Jin, you dare betray the sect, today I will make you wish you were dead!"

Qiu Wuhen's voice was like thunder, hurting everyone's eardrums.

"Ah…"

Zeng Jin's face turned ashen, his whole body trembling, almost unable to stand.

He knew all too well Qiu Wuhen's methods; falling into his hands meant no prospect of survival or a pleasant death.

Li Yunjing saw this and snorted coldly, saying, "Qiu Wuhen, your 'Qiuye Sword Sect' is finished, why continue this futile struggle? Let us go in peace."

Enraged, Qiu Wuhen laughed sinisterly, "You dare spout insane rhetoric after stealing our sect's prized treasure! If I don't tear you apart today, I swear I am no longer Qiu Wuhen!"

As he spoke, Qiu Wuhen swung his long sword, sending a fierce qi slash straight at the "Cyan Cloud Ship".

"You think you can ambush us? It's not that easy!"

Li Yunjing's face changed, quickly maneuvering the "Cyan Cloud Ship" to dodge.

Having fought Golden Core Realm cultivators multiple times, he was experienced. Facing a wounded Golden Core Realm Third Heaven cultivator chasing them, Li Yunjing was not too fearful!

A thought even crossed his mind.

He wanted to find a suitable place to confront Qiu Wuhen once and for all, determining the winner!
