The next day dawned, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. At the crack of dawn, Grand Elder Long and Grand Elder Xiu stood resolute beside the Bai Clan gates. A tense silence hung in the air, broken only by the murmur of anticipation among the assembled Bai Clan disciples.
Then, as if a phantom, Bai Yu materialized in their midst. His robes billowed in the nonexistent wind, his golden eyes gleaming with unwavering purpose.
"Let's go," he commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument.
With a surge of power, they launched themselves into the sky, streaking towards the Bloodsword Sect in a blur of motion. Six hours later, the imposing silhouette of the Bloodsword Sect emerged on the horizon. Grand Elder Long's fists clenched as they descended, his gaze hardening at the sight below.
"Those immoral scum!" he growled, his voice laced with disgust. Sprawling beneath them was the Bloodsword Sect, its structures radiating an aura of power and cruelty. Slaves toiled under the watchful eyes of merciless Bloodsword Sect disciples, their faces etched with suffering. The very sight of it fueled a fire of fury within Grand Elder Long and Grand Elder Xiu.
A surge of energy erupted as Bai Yu and the Grand Elders descended upon the Bloodsword Sect. Their power, a palpable force, crashed against the sect's protective wards, shattering them with a deafening boom. The Bloodsword Sect disciples below scrambled in panic, their training a stark contrast to the composed figures of the invading force.
Three figures materialized before them, their auras matching the invaders' – Law Domain Masters, the elite of the cultivation world. A young man with a cruel visage stood at the center, his power solidifying him as a Late Law Domain Master – the Sect Master of the Bloodsword Sect himself. Flanking him were his two Vice Sect Masters, their expressions hardening as they recognized the invaders.
Without waiting for pleasantries, a maelstrom of violence erupted. Grand Elder Long, fueled by righteous fury, roared and launched himself at one of the Vice Sect Masters. Their blades clashed in a flurry of sparks, each strike infused with lethal intent. Grand Elder Xiu observed the other Vice Sect Master's movements, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
The most anticipated clash occurred between Bai Yu and the Bloodsword Sect Master. Their figures blurred as blades met in a dance of destruction. Bai Yu, honed by years of relentless training, fought with controlled aggression. His movements were a whirlwind of precision, each strike aimed to exploit a weakness in his opponent's defenses. The Bloodsword Sect Master, known for his ruthless tactics, countered with brute force, his blade a whirlwind of dark energy.
The ground trembled under the impact of their clash, cracks spiderwebbing outwards. The remaining Bloodsword Sect disciples watched in terrified awe as the very foundation of their sect seemed to buckle under the sheer power of the combatants.
