Chapter 1414 - Snowsun Quadspecters

It just so happened that the momentous decision to cut ties had been made when Li Wushuang and her lackeys weren't at the sect. Not to mention, they would be taking the brunt of the million-man army of the alliance, so they wouldn't have the luxury of taking out their anger on the Supracloud Sanctuary. They also had all the divine herbs secured, making it the perfect opportunity to cut ties.

"We'll defend them to our deaths!"

"It was ours to begin with!"

Everyone was fueling their fighting spirits by airing their frustrations. Even if they would die in the upcoming defensive battle, it was still a relief more than anything else.

"Weve laid low for far too long. From now on, well no longer accept their oppression!" Yun Tianque said to great acclaim.

Yun Mingcang's tears were flowing as he raised his fists and crossed them in front of his chest, slowly kneeling. "We shall serve the sect master to our death to defend the dignity and treasures of our sect! From the moment the formation was activated, well kill anyone that comes, be they G.o.ds or fiends!"

The entire sect was set ablaze with pa.s.sion, exactly what Yun Tianque had wanted. He had used some tricks of his own to achieve it, but the resonance with all of them on a heartfelt level was real. Tianming had given him hope for the continent's future. Even he understood that giving their all in this fight would be meaningful in its own right. Now, n.o.body could stop their sect's trajectory.

However, someone whispered to him at that moment. "Yun Tianque, is this the reason you spent the past few days gathering all ten million of our constelliers back to our sect?"

Yun Tianque turned back and saw a beautiful, curvy woman with enchanting wiles speaking to him. She was the second-in-command of the sect, Lu Yuanji.

"That's right. With all these people, we can bolster the formation through the barrier spirit threads of the formation. I also made similar preparations to defend some of our grounded cities," he said with a smile.

"There's something I find a bit weird. You didn't know about the million-man army a few days ago, nor the fact that Li Wushuang would use us as cannon fodder. Yet you've already started making preparations. Were you going to turn on them from the beginning?" she said, rolling her eyes.

"I already had a feeling something bad would happen when Li Wushuang killed the Rain Swordlord and forty thousand swordpupils. Does that sound far fetched?"

"I suppose it's possible. But why have I never seen this foresight in you before all of this?" she said, chuckling.

"You just have to do what I say. Whered all these questions come from?"

"Fine. I'm your wife, after all." Her every movement was filled with temptation, yet Yun Tianque didn't give her any reaction.

"This time around, well need the help of the voidstags, too. Were in the same boat now, alive or dead."

"Rest a.s.sured!" Lu Yuanji confidently patted her chest.

......

It had been half a day since the Tumulus Pill G.o.d sent the transmission stone. What was odd was that he hadn't received a reply yet. There were some injured among their troops who were at the Supracloud Sanctuary, but they had already been dealt with after the betrayal. Even if theyd had transmission stones, they wouldn't have been able to use them. The Myriadfold Skycloud Formation cut off all communication at its highest level of activation; nothing could be sent or received. Yun Tianque wanted to drag it out as long as possible until the alliance's army finally caught up to Li Wushuang's group.

"Tumulus, where are they?" Li Wushuang was losing her patience.

"I don't know why, but Yun Tianque hasn't responded to me yet," he said, having a bad feeling. "Lady Wushuang, why don't we just move our troops to the Supracloud Sanctuary first? We'll decide on what's to come after we enter the formation." He knew that letting the two hundred plus thousand they had there face off against the alliance's army would no doubt result in countless warG.o.dean casualties, so keeping themselves safe was a top priority.

"No. We have to wait for the Supracloud Sanctuary to send people to the sapling sites and take over, first. What if the saplings get sabotaged or destroyed?" The saplings were too weak and anybody could destroy them if they tried. There were more than enough people willing to cause trouble when n.o.body was looking.

"Lady Wushuang, are you intending for the alliance to kill off the people from the Supracloud Sanctuary first? If they lose too many innocents, the Northdipper Swordsage's leaders.h.i.+p will be negatively affected. He's only one of the leaders of their alliance, after all."

"That's right. Got a problem with it?"

"No!"

"Have Yun Tianque hurry up. Ive run out of patience waiting for him. Since he chose to be my dog, he should have the sense to do the right thing."

"He's probably paralyzed with fear upon hearing about the army. Let me go to the Supracloud Sanctuary and teach him a lesson."

"Be quick."

The Tumulus Pill G.o.d wanted his warG.o.deans to be able to retreat as soon as possible. In fact, he was even more anxious than Li Wushuang about the timeline. "Definitely!"

Li Wushuang turned back to her elite subordinates and said, "Snowsun Quadspecters, you four travel the fastest and are good at formations. Accompany Tumulus on his way back and give Yun Tianque a harsh lesson if he doesn't listen."

"Understood!" Four people among the group excitedly stepped forward. It was the first time Li Wushuang had given them a proper task, so they couldn't wait to fulfill her expectations.

The Tumulus Pill G.o.d felt his heart sink a little. It was clear that Li Wushuang wanted them to keep an eye on him, and the Snowsun Quadspecters were definitely capable of that. The four blue-robed, handsome men had a refined aura about them. They had snow-white hair, straight noses, slender figures, and fair skin. Their eyes looked like reflections of the sun on flat snow, making them among the best-looking men ever. The only puzzling thing about their appearance was that they looked completely identical.

It was said that they were quadruplets. The name they called themselves was Snowsun Quadsaints, but most people called them Snowsun Quadspecters. As their moniker suggested, they were all specters that looked incredibly similar to normal humans. They also had quite an infamous reputation for having ushered in a bloodbath in the territory of the Myriad Solar Sects, having killed more than a hundred thousand people only to end up being pursued. At the end of that, they had escaped to the celestial orderians, eventually ending up under the protection of Li Wushuang.

If they heard anyone else call them Snowsun Quadspecters, they would definitely freak out. Only Li Wushuang could refer to them like that so 'endearingly'. The four of them were among Li Wushuang's most trusted lieutenants and their impressive synergy made them a force to be reckoned with. The beautiful youths surrounded Li Wushuang like stars around a moon.

"Quadsaints, this way," the Tumulus Pill G.o.d said

"Tumulus Pill G.o.d, youre too polite. After you," they said in unison. They were happy to be referred to by their preferred name, but not even they would dare to bother the Tumulus Pill G.o.d over which name to use.

"Hurry up!" Li Wushuang urged.

"Rest a.s.sured, Lady Wushuang." The four of them swiftly left with the Tumulus Pill G.o.d.

"I need a few of you to keep an eye on the alliance's army! Keep me informed of their location!"

"Understood!"

Li Wushuang shut her eyes for some rest after delegating those orders. She wasn't the least bit afraid, for even if they lost, the casualties were for the warG.o.deans and Blueblood Starocean to bear, not her!
