*Seeing that the barricade had put up to stop people from getting out had been broken and also having seen that our way in was cut off, his head would begin dieting around in each direction trying to find a suitable way in while also keeping the maid and akiya at his back, pulling out his sickles as he began to spin them rapidly, the silver portions of his scales freezing over and turning into mini jagged glaciers as cold air begin to build up around his body both acting as a globe of protection for his family, understands that looked like some large ice based attack was charging up and instead of having it aimed at one single person or a group of people, he was aiming it at both the film and the formation seemingly mulling something over in his head, not how many people he was going to kill with this blast of course but where he was going to move as soon as that formation was broken.*

"You too I want to make this very clear we might have to leave our rebellion friends here behind if things get dicey and go over to grab eirias and eliana."
Joan
* The rebels that were within the sect got chained down and fell to there knees almost instantly, they couldn't fight something or prepared for such an outcome all the soldiers that tried to lock the disciples in would see such attacks, they wondered where there reinforcements where the attack was supposed to happen at the same time soon most of the rebels if not all inside the sect were being defeated.*

*The rebels that ran into the barrier were repelled and flew back onto there asses or began to roll down the stairs taking a couple of other rebels with them soon the advance was halted the rebels began to retreat down the steps as they casted magic to break the barriers flame, ice earth, gravity magic, dark magic all repelled the commander in the back witnessed this and barked an order.*

`"Retreat! Retreat, get off the steps we can't fight them in the palace we must stay outside and contain them instead they have to much advantage in the palace."`

*He would yell from the back as he shot his crossbow in the air with a loud boom it would get the rebels attention and soon the retreat down the stairs began and flooding out around the sect, plan b, they began to hurriedly build defenses around the sect cast rune magic on the ground as rebels were positioning themselves all around the sect, they began to draw magic circles on the ground with paint, and magic dust infused within.*
Ann
*Didn't get the chance to hit the barrier but he was very close but soon as retreat was called, after a few minutes of trying to break the barrier he would run down the steps with the other rebels as he yelled at bylin.*

`"Forget about the barrier bylin it would be more beneficial to wait here for a bit as they set up there defenses around the sect, I don't have want to abandon something we just joined, but I also don't want to draw to much attention to ourselves so let's fall back while they set up."`

*He said as they soon made it down the steps outside the sect grounds*
Tyler
*Seeing the bright colored qi come out of it he saw a person, appear he tilted his head as he spoke.*

`"Uncle? Wei has a such a big family I can't keep up anymore. Haha"`

*He laughed a bit as he bowed his head as he said he was inexperienced as he stepped infront of everyone, he would look at the other desciple they would begin to prepare the grand killing array he hadn't seen it used before but he felt excited they may get to see it now.*

`"In the name of the palace master any who set foot on these sacred ground will surely be defeated!"`

*He said pridefully as he looked down upon all the rebels below seeing them retreat down and away he felt somewhat disappointed he couldn't have anymore fun fighting with the blood flame user more fun at least he didn't run...*
Jill
```"Prepare it, but do not use it until my say, we need not use such a thing until given reason... Disciples of the Immortal Sword Palace, prepare your qi skills, on my mark we shall rain down hell upon them..."```

*Jiu stepped out from the barrier with both hands behind his back... His eyes scanning the area, noticing they were building defenses...*

```"I will say this once, leave as we have done nothing to anyone to incur the wrath... If anyone of you dares to harm a single hair on these disciples and you will be sorely mistaken!"```
Michelle
*The disciples within the sect all prepared themselves for combat, drawing their weapons, as whtever they held whether it be a sword, spear, axe, anything, they were all engulfed in their own unique color of qi... Their radiance shining before the rebels as they stood there unmoving...*
Jerome
*Seeing that an attack of this magnitude would draw too much attention and also probably get some people needlessly killed, he decided to draw all of that ice energy into his sickles leaving them permanently covered in Frost and icicles before backing up along with the rest of the rebels, making sure to keep a close eye on everything else around and committing that barrier to memory before backing up towards the rest of the group making it back within that fold.*

"Well I think it's safe to say that this operation is gone quite frankly belly up... It would seem there was a lot of information that we were not made aware of when we agreed to this, namely the fact that most of the people at this gate can clearly deal with most of you rebels by themselves." *He was a little bit ticked off especially at the prospect of his family having potentially gotten hurt because of them making this out to seem more simple than it really was.*
Joan
*The rebels would keep casting spells and placing runes into the ground, using 20 mages for each rune the runes growing to the size of a town 10 runes being placed in a circle around the entire outside of the sect, soon all the runes would begin to glow with the magic and mana of all the mages each mage varying in magic level from city level down to town level collective strength with this massive group spell would be mountain the major draw back that if the mages within the runes would be taken out it would weaken the spell and they are vulnerable as they can't do anything to fight or move they were stuck in place a commander turned and faced towards bylin.*

`"This is the reality of the world, you are seemingly powerful, what do you think happens to those at the bottom of the chain who want to make change there crushed by powerful people. Unlike you, we believe in the rebel cause you have no need to be here, this is why we don't like outsider's as in the end of the day as long as you don't have to live under the rule of someone so bad you don't have to fight for it, we fight with the understanding that we are out matched but we still give our hearts our souls to the cause."`

*All the men's weapons and the commanders speech to bylin rallied the rebels to him as they're swords began to glow of mana fire attributes, ice attributes ECT as they began using earth magic, to build mounds of dirt to hide behind for the rifle men the swordsman taking positions in the choke points he would take a green bomb and fire another one into the air.*

`"If you don't wish to stay your more then welcome to leave, for freedom we our willing to spill the blood of as many of soldiers to guarantee the freedom of our sins and daughters."`
Ann
*Began to make his way away from the rebels as bylin spoke he turned to bylin he tilted his head keeping his hand on his sword as his hand began to glow golden.*

`'I agree, but what do you expect, I didn't sense any true power from these people."`

*He would hear the commanders speech the more he listened he began to put himself in the shoes of the rebels and look from there point of view however all this effort seemed in desperation, there goal was never meant to keep the sect members contained but to buy time they knew ahead of time they couldn't contain these people, but they fought anyway.*

`"You won't understand them, but I do, you father they are desperate, can't you see? This is one of the reasons I wanted to help these people but, they seem to have this barrier being set up let's go to eirias seeing how strong these people are, I assume something bad is going to happen to eirias and eliana, the palace master they talked about isn't here also the elders they speaked about also aren't here, all there strong people are I'd assume at the keep."`

*As he said this he would see black smoke being fired all around outside the keep into the sky, however outside the keep green smoke was fired all around the city the rebels had taken full control of the city, they had taken the city walls, held all the barracks rooms and defeated any and all soldiers inside the city and soon more green smoke was fired outside the city as they had taken the outside city limits.*

`"Black smoke... Outside the keep... Isn't that where eirias and eliana is at."` 

* He would say as he looked at bylin he would speak.*

`"Shall we go or shall we stay?"`

*He asked bylin as he was torn being in a position where these rebels were, he knew how they had felt, being a prisoner under bandits for a year or more he gritted his teeth he wouldn't leave unless forced it was bylins time to be a father and put his foot down and order him to go or take him to go help eirias or be understanding*

*And let akiya stay while he went to the keep.*
Frank
*By this time... Elder Shen had arrived as he was several hundred meters into the air and chuckled... Amusing he thought, the sect and disciples were ready to defend their home and sect with their lives... The barriers and formations set here he simply chuckled as he didn't think that Wei Wuxian would be so prepared for ill-situations like this... The barriers seemed to hold out against the attacks, but with the appearance of Elder Shen, he sent several devasting slashes with his black dragon cleaver at the positions of where the runes and mages held... Those attacks, with the power to destroy their defenses and to destroy the runes themselves if not protected with something that was capable of withstanding the attack of one of the 9 stars... It was at this point, Elder shen used his power... Soon a large face looming over the sect appeared with the fiery red crimson qi... It peered down at everyone and laughed before speaking in a loud booming voice*

```"Ho ho ho... Seems like there's a big fish here? Let this elder be nice and tell you, if you leave now, I will not slaughter you all where you all stand... Leave, before I take action myself"```

*A new foe had entered the field, as it was Elder Shen... The strongest of the 3 elder envoys sent from the Daoist Immortal palace... He was prepared if need be...*
Jill
*Hearing the loud booming voice and the great overwhelming presence of qi above them, he couldn't help but laugh... Why? Because they had now secured their chance at safety and winning this...*

```"Disciples! Go now!"```
Michelle
*With that, hundreds upon hundreds of qi skills and attacks ranging from imbued sword slashes, to beams of qi, to blasts of inhuman fiery flames and ice, a culmination of hundreds of different attacks now rained down upon the rebels as to exterminate them*
Jerome
*Hearing all them speak around him he would take in their words and was still very hesitant to allow his son to continue fighting with what was now looking like a suicide mission, but as soon as this Commander even made the suggestion that he didn't know sacrifice and didn't know what it felt like to defend something even despite it seeming like a losing battle his eyes would blaze with a golden fire as he looked towards him.*

"Make no mistake Commander I am no stranger to suffering for what I believe is right, I am no stranger in fighting for what I believe, so do not insult me by insinuating that because I have this power I am not capable of feeling the pain and suffering of others not knowing what it is to fight a losing battle for something you believe in, so don't you dare insult me again by assuming that I don't know what it is to fight for people you care about." 

*The voice that bellowed from his throat was low but Stern that of a ruler someone who's had to fight for what they believed in for years on end, and upon seeing the wave of attacks flying towards them, he would stand up and walk out, giving his son an understanding look but also letting him know with that gays the family always comes first and that he was family, soon he would drop his hood and reveal his draconic features, the sickles coming off of his hips and spinning around rapidly once again all that cold energy being brought back into his body as his eyes went from glowing a pure golden color to a murky baby blue and silver, and he would inhale a deep breath as what felt like a vacuum begin to encompass everyone within a 50 ft radius of him, and with no words he would release that breath, as what could only be described as a glacial shield began to surround all of the mages seeming to both protect them from the attacks and also discourage new ones, jagged glaciers of blue and purple ice multiple feet thick would surround the mages and the rest of the rebels jagged ice spikes jutting out tow

Ards all the oncoming attackers but not hitting any of them, as a smooth nearly perfect translucent surface stared back at all of the rebels having protected them from the volley of strikes that looked to exterminate them, and there stood bylin is once black cloak now covered in rime Frost and icicles more resembling a flowing cape made out of ice and snow then a cloak is draconic features becoming much more pronounced his claws being the same size they were before his horns having grown longer and his expression more jagged as he turned back to his son and used his tail to put both him in the maid on his back as he spread his wings which had grown even larger and just took one flap into the sky and began making his way inside to the courtyard leaving the rebels with their newfound protection and with time to regroup.* 

"Sorry son, but at the end of the day these people aren't your family, these people would sell you up a river if they felt like it aligned with their cause I don't want that kind of life for you I love you and I wouldn't betray you, and now we need to go to reunite our family." *He said saying nothing more as what looked like a blur began shooting towards the courtyard.*
Michelle
*With the first wave of attacks being repelled by the glacial breathe, many of the disciples were bewildered and amazed by such a display of power, but thye knew only someone powerful was capable of doing so... With Jiu's order to attack once more, once more did more attacks rain down, this time twice as powerful compared to before as they planned to wipe the rebels out here to teh best of their abilities*
Frank
*Elder Shen watched from above and simply clapped at the display from the sect... It seemed that without Elder Shen directly intervening they were doing well enough*

```"Kekeke, when did our young master learn such tactics and methods to protect his sect... No wonder he was called a peer tactician during the great war... Let this elder contribute some eh?"```

*The elder chuckled as he raised his blade... The large great sword was engulfed in a mysterious dao energy...* **Divine Dao of Slaughter: Slaughter King's First line and 3rd...** *And with the elder swung his blade multiple times, each imbued with great destructive and cutting power... Each at the zones of where the runes and mages were*

```"Ha ha ha!"```
Tyler
*Would go down the sect palace stairs as elder cut down the mages around the runes he would see the barrier around the sect fall, and dozens of qi attacks fell upon the rebels and a massacre inside he would stay his hand, and stop his Qi attacks he would let the other desciples kill all the rebels he would not partake and only look away quietly he was fine with killing soldiers from the enemy kingdom of sicarlas but no more he turned around and walked into the sect he had killed enough and wouldn't do anymore quite frankly he couldn't handle it anymore killing, he did to much to young, as he walked away from the other desciples he turned a corner and placed a hand on the wall and cried he let out all his pain and frustration, he was at the end a boy still who had to see such things he fell to his knees crying with his eyes closed.*
Jill
*Seeing as how the disciples decimated the rebel forces, he raised a brow to see that Yenio had left? With thtat he activated his divine sense and smiled, quickly traveling to where Yenio was and placed his hand on the boy's back rubbing it gently*

```"My nephew, I know it is hard to bear the weight of such violence within your heart... But please, for the sake of the disciples, hold it in the best you can... Elder Shen will handle the rest... Go to the mountain abode and speak to your 'elder sister'"```

*Is what he said, there he then returned back to the sword which Yenio held and simply put a thumbs up with a ghostly hand from within the sword*
Tyler
*He would look up from his position to the hand rubbing his back gently it made him feel some relief, as he took a breath from his loud crying, he gritted his teeth and looked at him with pain in his face, slowly standing back up he wiped his face and nodded as he slowly began to smile to stay strong of the other disiples.*

`"I will, I'll go find her."`

*He said softly as he took the sword his voice cracking a bit but as he saw the thumbs up it brightened his day and he bowed his head.*

`"Thank you again."`

*He bowed his head and began to make his way to the mountain abode*
Michelle
*It was here when Elder Shen descended from the skies and land within the sect and laughing loudly... There he began to take charge and have the disciples work double time, to make sure all the formations were in peak condition, take all the rebels subdued within the sect and keep them imprisoned and shackled within the dungeon... Every disciple was working together, the elders of the sect too helped manage everything and direct... Much to reflect upon today is what Elder shen had said to all of them*
