　　Beside him, Xu Ziyin, Xu Ziyun, and Xu Mingxiu all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
　　Back then, they had repeatedly attempted to obtain the Creation Jade Disc, but in the end, it was Yin Shenghao, Su Chenyuan, and Si Luoyi who succeeded, taking the disc into hiding until now, when they finally reappeared.
　　The fact that Yin Shenghao extracted something from the Creation Jade Disc proves conclusively that he had known all along how to manipulate it.
　　Bu Baiyi then said： “The Creation Jade Disc is of utmost importance. This time, we must kill the people and ensure the Creation Jade Disc is not lost again！”
　　”Mm.”
　　As the four conversed.
　　Outside the Spirit Sword Pavilion, an oppressive aura surged forth, carrying a chilling intent to kill.
　　”They’re here！”
　　Xu Mingxiu’s sharp eyes gleamed as he stood atop a high tower, gazing into the distance.
　　A terrifying roar echoed across the heavens and earth, spanning dozens of miles. Outside the vast and majestic Spirit Sword Pavilion, figures emerged one after another.
　　The Sacred Heaven Sect had come to attack！
　　A mighty force gradually revealed itself, emerging from the wilderness and the clouds above.
　　Sacred　Heaven　Sect.
　　Lin Family.
　　Qingyang Hall.
　　Profound　Heaven　Mansion.
　　A siege from all directions！
　　In an instant, a heart-palpitating aura erupted.
　　”What was destined to come has finally arrived！”
　　A resounding voice echoed between heaven and earth, shaking the hearts of all who heard it.
　　The gates of the Spirit Sword Pavilion swung open, and hundreds of figures rushed out one after another.
　　At the forefront stood four individuals, their auras overwhelmingly powerful, striking fear and hesitation into all.
　　Xu Ziyin, Xu Ziyun, Xu Mingxiu, and Bu Baiyi—the four strongest leaders of the Spirit Sword Pavilion today！
　　”Yin Shenghao, you”ve finally returned after all！”
　　Bu Baiyi’s voice carried a hint of emotion.
　　”Old Bu, it’s been many years since we last met. How have you been these years away from the Tianyuan Continent？”
　　Yin Shenghao smiled faintly, his tone relaxed.
　　”Good or bad, what does it matter？”
　　Bu Baiyi spoke again： “After all these years, we are finally destined to fight to the death！”
　　As his words fell, his gaze turned to Ye Wushuang standing beside Yin Shenghao and the other two, and he couldn’t help but say, “So you are Ye Wushuang？”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at the man before him, who gave off a warm and comforting aura, and for a moment, his heart was filled with countless emotions.
　　Bu Baiyi！
　　One of the Twelve Pavilion Elders of the Lingjian Pavilion.
　　His friendship with Bu Baiyi had many coincidences.
　　Back when his eighth divine soul reincarnated as Ling Shengtian, he was just an unknown minor martial artist on his initial rise to power.
　　At that time, he met Bu Baiyi, who was already a master at the Wangwo Realm.
　　Ye Wushuang was merely a minor Tian Gang Realm martial artist back then.
　　Yet when the two met, Bu Baiyi was amazed by Ye Wushuang’s knowledge and insights, which were beyond ordinary people’s reach, while Ye Wushuang genuinely liked Bu Baiyi as a person！
　　Bu Baiyi’s personality was calm and uncompetitive, always smiling, giving people a warm and comforting feeling.
　　Actually, even now, Ye Wushuang still doesn’t know why, why Bu Baiyi would betray.
　　”I’ve long heard of Senior Bu Baiyi’s great reputation！” Ye Wushuang said politely.
　　Seeing this scene, Yin Shenghao, Su Chenyang, Si Luoyi, Xuan Tiansheng, and others all felt a pang of melancholy in their hearts.
　　How close those two were back then, and now…
　　”My reputation, I’m afraid you haven’t heard of it, but yours, I’ve heard more than once！”
　　Bu Baiyi looked at Ye Wushuang, smiled, and said, “I just really don’t understand what kind of favor Yin Shenghao and the others have done for you that you’d go to such lengths for them？”
　　Ye Wushuang remained silent.
　　Bu Baiyi continued, “Although I know they’ve tried to recruit you time and again, all ending in failure, even now, I still don’t want you to die. Even if you killed Wu Jun, I can still accept you.”
　　”I wouldn’t arrogantly think I could be your master, but I can help you reach the Postnatal Saint Realm faster, advance to the Innate Saint Realm, and with your talent maintained, you’ll surely become a Saint in the future, surpassing me！”
　　”And this is something Yin Shenghao and the others can’t give you.”
　　”Ye Wushuang, you should see more, look around, at the broader world and universe out there！”
　　Facing Bu Baiyi’s persuasion, Ye Wushuang suddenly said coldly, “Bu Baiyi, have you ever regretted it？”
　　”Huh？”
　　Bu Baiyi raised an eyebrow.
　　”Have you ever regretted forcing Lord Yin Shenghao, Lord Su Chenyang, and Lord Si Luoyi to leave, regretted killing those Sword Guardians, regretted… betraying Ling Shengtian？”
　　Hearing these words, Bu Baiyi narrowed his eyes.
　　”Ling Shengtian and I…”
　　Bu Baiyi sighed and said, “When I first met him, it was like meeting the current you. He had exceptional talent, unwavering determination, step by step catching up to me, surpassing me, until he founded the Spirit Sword Pavilion and invited me to serve as an Elder！”
　　”If he were still alive, I would have remained content as an Elder of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.”
　　”But he is gone！”
　　Ye Wushuang retorted, “So you chose to betray him？”
　　”People’s hearts change, Ye Wushuang,” Bu Baiyi said slowly. “After Ling Shengtian’s departure, Yin Shenghao guarded the Creation Jade Disc, refusing to share its profound secrets with us. How could we remain at ease？”
　　”Originally, I had no ambition for higher realms. Reaching the pinnacle of the Star-Plucking Realm was enough for me.”
　　”But after glimpsing a vaster world, my heart could no longer stay still. I wanted to achieve the Sage Heaven Realm, to become a Sage of Heaven and Earth.”
　　”Thus, I set my sights on the Creation Jade Disc, while Xu Ziyin coveted the position of Spirit Sword Pavilion’s Master. The two of us hit it off immediately.”
　　Xu Ziyin, who was standing nearby, opened his mouth upon hearing this but ultimately said nothing.
　　Since Bu Baiyi openly admitted it, why should he continue to hide anything？
　　After this battle, the Central Lands will no longer have a Sacred Heaven Sect—history is written by the victors！
　　”In the end, it all comes down to greed！”
　　Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “If the person standing before you today wasn”t me, Ye Wushuang, but Ling Shengtian, could you still be so forthright？”
　　Bu Baiyi froze for a moment upon hearing this, then replied, “If it were him, I”m afraid my conscience would trouble me.”
　　A shred of conscience, but not much！
　　Bu Baiyi sighed and added, “But in this world, how many “what ifs” can there truly be？”
　　”I admit to everything I’ve done, but I can’t accept admitting it and still failing！”
　　Bu Baiyi shifted the topic, looking at Yin Shenghao, and continued, “I know that although you recently reached the early stage of the Ethereal Soul Saint Realm, you must have already broken through again by now. Yin Shenghao, our battle back then ended without a winner—let”s settle it today！”
　　”Fine　by　me！”
　　Yin Shenghao laughed heartily and soared into the air.
　　Bu Baiyi remained silent and immediately ascended into the sky.
　　As the two figures shot upward, the aura radiating from their bodies was utterly terrifying.
　　”The peak of the late-stage Ethereal Soul Saint Realm！”
　　Xu Ziyin looked up at this moment and let out a faint sigh.
　　Bu Baiyi, after stepping into the Postnatal Saint Realm these years, has honed himself in the Ethereal Soul Saint Realm for many years, yet still hasn’t reached the True Soul Saint Realm.
　　But how long has it been since Yin Shenghao awakened until now？
　　And he has already reached the late stage of the Ethereal Soul Saint Realm！
　　This speed is practically a carbon copy of Ye Wushuang！
　　”Xu Ziyin.”
　　Su Chenyang took a step forward, his voice tinged with emotion as he said, “You and I have come to this point once again.”
　　Xu Ziyin stood with his hands behind his back, sighing, “Indeed. If we had managed to wipe out the three of you back then, today’s events would never have happened！”
　　”No use in more words！”
　　”As it should be！”
　　The two, once the First and Third Elders of the Lingjian Pavilion, were originally evenly matched.
　　Though Xu Ziyin had now stepped into the Saint Heaven Realm ahead of Su Chenyang, Su Chenyang, after years of suffering from poison and illness, had now recovered. His unwavering resolve meant his progress was not slow either.
　　Their figures soared into the air, their auras swirling, once again striking fear into the hearts of the surrounding martial artists.
　　Though these two were not as terrifying as Bu Baiyi and Yin Shenghao, the unrestrained release of pressure from two Saint Heaven Realm experts was still horrifying, their aura enough to make one tremble with fear！
　　”Hahahaha…”
　　A burst of hearty laughter rang out as Xuantian Sheng, the mansion master, stepped forward and said with a smile, “Xu Mingxiu, it’s our turn now！”
