The entire Sword Heart Sect was unusually calm, but the calmness was only on the surface. There were all kinds of rumors circulating in secret. The only ones who were not affected were Mi Xiaojing and his two companions. They practiced quietly, discussed their cultivation experiences, and occasionally communicated with Wang Weijun.

Thanks to Wang Weijun's deliberate humility and suppression of his grievances, he was now able to communicate normally with Mi Xiaojing.

Mi Xiaojing had benefited greatly from this, especially in cultivation. After all, Wang Weijun was once a great power in the cultivation world, a super expert in the combined period. With just a few pointers, he helped Mi Xiaojing avoid many detours.

However, no matter how hard Mi Xiaojing tried to cultivate, he was still stuck at the bottleneck and unable to break through to the foundation establishment period. He needed the help of a Spirit Pill, specifically a Foundation Establishment Pill.

But Mi Xiaojing had already made some progress in cultivating the Qianyuan Art of the Starry Sky. It was just progressing very slowly due to insufficient Spiritual Qi.

One day, the three of them absorbed the Qianyang Purple Qi on the cliff and walked back to their small courtyard. On the way, Mi Xiaojing also collected some fresh Huangjing Fuling and wild vegetables to bring back to eat.

The weather was getting colder and the gloomy sky made people feel uncomfortable. Mi Xiaojing looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to snow!" This reminded him of the big snowfall and massacre at the Western Expansion Sect, and his face darkened.

Seeing Mi Xiaojing's expression, Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo held his hands, trying to comfort him.

Feeling their warmth, Mi Xiaojing said, "Let's go back."

Back at the small courtyard, the three of them hurriedly cleaned up. Just then, snowflakes began to fall.

Mu Xiaoyin laughed and said, "Little Junior Brother, you were right. It's snowing!"

In just ten minutes, the snowfall became so dense that nothing could be seen ten meters away. The three of them hurried back inside. The once bright room now became dark and gloomy due to the snowstorm.

Mi Xiaojing quickly lit the charcoal he had prepared beforehand, and the room became warm again. The door was open, and the snow and wind blew in, but because of the extended eaves of the house, not much snow got inside. However, the wind and snow made the fire in the charcoal pot flicker, and outside the door was already a white world.

Mi Xiaojing did not sit by the charcoal pot but stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. "Another big snowfall," he sighed.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound, like muffled thunder.

Mi Xiaojing stumbled and realized that the entire earth was shaking.

"What's going on?"

Mu Xiaoyin and Luo Bo jumped up and rushed to Mi Xiaojing's side. Mu Xiaoyin nervously asked, "What's happening?"Before they could react, another explosion sounded, and in an instant, the sky lit up. Through the snow, they could vaguely see numerous sword shadows flying up, and the mountain guarding formation was activated.

Just as they were stunned, Mu Xiaoyin shouted, "Someone is attacking the sword formation...someone is attacking the sword formation!"

Suddenly, the densely flying snowflakes disappeared, and a huge light shield appeared above their heads. The sword formation had actually blocked all the falling snowflakes, and their field of vision opened up.

Mi Xiaojing wondered why there was trouble on a snowy day.

Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, and Luo Bo all stared at the sky in amazement. They swore they had never seen such a magnificent and breathtaking sky in their lives, with such terrifying sword shadows and pressure.

"Someone is attacking our sect..."

Mu Xiaoyin was frightened. She had never thought that anyone would dare attack the Heart Sect. She knew how strong the Heart Sect was, and it was an absolute overlord within a few thousand miles.

Mi Xiaojing, on the other hand, was a little excited. He wished the outsiders would attack and break in, just like the Western Expansion Sect that was destroyed by the Heart Sect on a snowy night.

"Retribution!"

Mi Xiaojing murmured softly. Mu Xiaoyin was fully focused on the sky and didn't notice what Mi Xiaojing said. Her face was visibly flushed, her small hands tightly clenched into fists, clearly showing that her thoughts were completely different from Mi Xiaojing's.

Luo Bo also looked up at the sky, exclaiming from time to time.

**********

The three Yuanying stage experts of the Vast Gold Sect had planned to sneak into the Heart Sect, but upon arrival, they found that the entire mountain gate was closed, meaning they couldn't enter.

Following Oni's plan, they decided to seek outside help, but Ban Jin was unwilling. He said, "I can't bear it without a fight!"

After pondering for a moment, Radix Notoginseng said, "It seems...the Heart Sect was already prepared. Hmph, since that's the case, we might as well attack them."

Oni hesitated when she heard this. "How do we attack? The Heart Sect's mountain guarding formation is not just for show. According to the old lady's knowledge, it is a large-scale sword formation that transforms the mountain into a sword! Its power...we all know it."

Radix Notoginseng said, "We won't attack head-on...we'll ambush them once...I have a treasure here that is perfect for sneak attacks."

"Are you going to use the Thousand Thunder Strike?"

Oni was surprised.

The Thousand Thunder Strike was a thunder bead condensed from true Gang and extreme Yang Qi. The Vast Gold Sect only had two left, which were treasures left behind during the peak period of the Vast Gold Sect. According to legend, an elder of the Vast Gold Sect obtained four Thousand Thunder Strikes by chance, and three were left in the Vast Gold Sect.

In a crisis, one Thousand Thunder Strike was used up, and its effects were recorded in the sect's scriptures. Its power was unimaginable.Therefore, when Radix Notoginseng mentioned it, Oni immediately understood that he must be talking about Refine Thousand Thunders.

Radix Notoginseng nodded and said, "Yes, using Refine Thousand Thunders, no matter what, Refine Thousand Thunders is refined by Loose Immortals. Even if it cannot shatter the Mountain Protection Array, it can still shake the entire array..."

Oni showed a hint of pain in her expression. After a while, she said, "Good! Even if it costs us a Refine Thousand Thunders, we must express our anger to the Heart Sect!"

Radix Notoginseng showed a fierce expression and said, "Let's first startle them a bit, hehe, let their people enter the array... and then give them a Refine Thousand Thunders."

Ban Jin grinned and let out a loud laugh. He swung his fist and said, "Let's do it! This is a good plan!" He also understood the power of Refine Thousand Thunders and knew that this plan was feasible.

The three of them flew up from the mountain forest. At this time, heavy snow was falling, completely covering their figures.

About a hundred meters away from the Mountain Protection Array, the three of them hovered in the air.
