of a sudden, the Square Box dropped 100 meters down.

Yu Zhenghai broke free of the Square Box and flew out like a fired arrow.
He spread his arms, and energy sabers gathered around him.
For the first time in his life, he did not feel embarrassed about having to join forces with another person.
Moreover, that person was his Second Junior Brother.
He cried out, “Junior brother!”

With just that, Yu Shangrong understood Yu Zhenghai’s intention.
With his Guiyuan Sword Technique, he controlled his energy swords that flew along with the energy sabers.

The two fellow disciples hovered close to each other, at this moment.
They were at both sides of the avatar that was close to 150 feet in height.

Zhu Xuan’s face flushed red from the effort he was expending.
He barely had time to catch his breath with the duo pressuring him.

At this moment, Xia Changqiu made his move.
“I’m sorry, Brother Zhu.”

Xia Changqiu summoned his avatar and swept his Horsetail Whisk at the Square Box.

The Square Box spun out of control.

Xia Changqiu unleashed his grand technique again and appeared above the others.
He looked down at the red lotus avatar that was almost 150-foot tall.
Then, he raised two fingers, and his horsetail whisk flew out.

At the same time, the energy sabers and energy swords shot toward the heart of the avatar like a water dragon.

Boom!

The horsetail whisk struck the avatar’s head.

Boom!

Zhu Xuan grunted.
Blood trickled out from the corners of his mouth.
However, his eyes flashed with a strange light.
At this moment, the red lotus avatar surged intensely with energy as it spun.
It instantly formed a vortex that devoured the energy sabers and energy swords.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and flew back.

Yu Zhenghai raised his Jasper Saber and flew back as well.

Xian Changqiu was worse off.
He had been standing right before Zhu Xuan.
He was hit by the red energy and was sent flying back.
He grunted as his blood essence surged.

The battle ended.

“150 feet.”

Everything was silent as the energies dissipated.

Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai looked at each other.

“I’m fine.”

“Me too.”

In the middle of the red lotus avatar that was hovering in the air, Zhu Xuan slowly opened his eyes before his eyes swept past Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.

“This is bad.
Zhu Xuan has reached the Nine-leaf stage!”

The cultivators who watched from afar felt their bodies tremble.

“Hey! This is something worth celebrating! Great Tang has gained another Nine-leaf cultivator!”

“However, we’re talking about the Ninth Temple, after all.
As expected of Zhu Xuan who’s regarded as the grand cultivator closest to the Nine-leaf stage for the past 50 years.”

Zhu Xuan looked at the fellow disciples and asked, “Do you still wish to continue?”

Yu Zhenghai said, “If you wish to continue, we’ll continue.”

“What about you?” Zhu Xuan looked at Yu Shangrong.

“If you want to fight, we’ll continue fighting.” Yu Shangrong straightened his right arm as his Longevity Sword buzzed.

Zhu Xuan did not ask Xia Changqiu.
Instead, he shook his head and asked, “What do you say to leaving it at this?”

The two fellow disciples were briefly puzzled by these words.

Realization dawned on the duo when Zhu Xuan looked at Yu Zhenghai and said, “However, you must come with me.”

Yu Zhenghai tightened his grip on his Jasper Saber.
“What if I refuse?”

Zhu Xuan waved his right hand.
His avatar vanished.
The Square Box shrank and returned to its pouch.
The white crane flew up and carried him.
Then, he looked at his arms.
His veins were popping on his arms, and his thumb was numb and still shaking.
This battle had greatly exceeded his expectations.
He wiped the blood off the corners of his lips before he said, “There are no eternal enemies in the world.
I’m already at the Nine-leaf stage.
If I die in this battle, we’ll both suffer great losses.”

As the saying went, ‘The friend of an enemy is a friend’.
After witnessing the duo’s might, Zhu Xuan had changed his mind.
The Ninth Temple had always been on bad terms with the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House.
However, if these two elites were to join the Ninth Temple, it would surely improve the temple’s strength.

Yu Zhenghai smiled and repeated, “There are no eternal enemies?”

“The Ninth Temple has always been on bad terms with the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House.
Since the two of you have such profound cultivation bases, why don’t you join the Ninth Temple?”

Yu Zhenghai sheathed his Jasper Saber.
He stood with his hands on his back and said, “Apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion, I have no interest in joining any other sect.
I decline your invitation to join the Ninth Temple.
However, I can consider a collaboration.” The aura he exuded when he led the Nether Sect was apparent, at this moment.

Although Zhu Xuan had a profound cultivation base, he was not someone with a high position.
Therefore, he was not as articulate with his words.
He wondered what kind of force the Evil Sky Pavilion was.

At this moment, Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong and asked, “A wise man submits to circumstances.
I won’t force you to do anything against your will.
What do you say?”

Yu Shangrong glanced at Yu Zhenghai before he calmly said, “You have a point, senior brother.”

“Alright.”

Zhu Xuan descended slowly until he drew level with the duo.
“As the Ninth Temple’s Grand Elder, I invite both of you to the Ninth Temple if you’ll follow me…”
