Chapter 441 Aren't you very capable? Why are you asking for help?

Yu Zhiyi immediately turned back.

My master was acting very strangely today. His expression and tone were just like he was giving his last words.

She flew on her sword and returned to the mountain gate in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened.

A young man was seen staggering out of the mountain gate.

The man was covered in blood, his clothes were disheveled, and he kept looking back as he walked, as if a ghost was chasing him.

"Fifth Senior Brother!"

Yu Zhiyi stopped abruptly in front of the man: "What happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

She looked up, trying to glimpse her fifth senior brother's fate, when he spoke up: "Junior sister, hurry up and go!"

He placed something in her palm: "This is the Alliance Order. Take it to the Taixu Sect to ask for help. Tell them that the Demon Clan has returned with renewed force, and all 108 members of the Tianji Sect have activated the Demon Extermination Formation. However, the Demon Clan is coming with overwhelming force this time, and the strength of our Tianji Sect has declined. We are afraid that the formation will not be able to continue."

"The demons have made a comeback?"

Yu Zhiyi's pupils contracted sharply, and she was about to rush into the door.

Senior Brother Wu stopped him: "Junior Sister, you are the only one who is not injured, and your strength and talent are far superior to mine. I can only feel at ease entrusting this mission to you."

He pushed him away forcefully: "Go now!"

Yu Zhiyi snapped out of her daze and grabbed his hand: "Then let's go together."

She also understands priorities.

Although I'm worried about my master, and about the kind and friendly uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters in the sect, now is not the time to act on emotion.

The matter of the demon race not only concerns the entire Hidden Realm, but also threatens the safety of the mortal world.

It is said that when the demon race was at its most arrogant a hundred years ago, its favorite thing to do was to go to the mortal world and kidnap innocent mortals.

She couldn't just stand by and watch these things happen.

She didn't even dare to ask her master how he was doing.

Fifth Senior Brother shook his head: "I can't leave."

"Why?"

“Junior sister, you are new to the Hidden Realm, and the Demon Clan is unaware of your existence, but the Taixu Sect knows of you. It is most appropriate for you to deliver the message.”

"As for the demons, they need a target."

Yu Zhiyi's pupils contracted again.

"Go quickly, or you won't be able to leave once they realize I'm gone."

Fifth Senior Brother gave her another push: "The safety of the entire Hidden Realm rests on your shoulders. You must complete this first task since entering the sect."

The flying sword flew almost close to the ground until the Heavenly Mystery Gate was left behind, and only then did Yu Zhiyi realize that she was already in tears.

The Hidden Realm used to be something lofty and unreal to her. She wouldn't naively believe that everyone in the Hidden Realm lived a carefree life, but she would unconsciously develop some biases.

How joyful and magnificent it is for cultivators to fight against heaven, earth, and man!

Only now do I realize that "壮" can also mean "tragic".

The battle between good and evil described in the book seemed to have transcended a hundred years, leaping out of the book and striking right in her face.

She wasn't prepared, but she had to brace herself for the crisis.

And the master...

How is Master doing now?

She didn't even dare to ask a single question.

Because she knew very well that once she asked, she wouldn't be able to leave.

The Taixu Sect is too famous, and she has bought a lot of maps recently, with the Taixu Sect prominently listed among them.

As the head of the four major sects, the Taixu Sect stands firmly on the Central Continent, the very center of the Hidden Realm. Even without a map, as long as one keeps heading towards the center of the Hidden Realm, one will eventually be able to see the Taixu Sect.

Upon arriving at the nearest teleportation point, Yu Zhiyi spent a thousand spirit stones and traveled tens of thousands of miles in a short moment, arriving at the territory of the Taixu Sect located in the Central Continent.

Not daring to waste time, she spent another thousand spirit stones to switch teleportation arrays twice before finally arriving at Taixu City at the foot of Taixu Sect Mountain.

She paid no attention to the city's prosperity and headed straight for the gate of the Taixu Sect.

Then, they were stopped.

"This is a sacred place. No one who is not a disciple of our sect is allowed to enter the mountain without an invitation."

Two disciples at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm held their longswords in front of Yu Zhiyi, their intention to refuse clearly evident.

Yu Zhiyi took out the blood-stained alliance token and said in a deep voice, "I am a disciple of the Tianji Sect. The demon race has made a comeback, and I have come to request the Taixu Sect to help seal the demon race!"

The two disciples exchanged a glance, and one of them said, "Wait a moment."

Then he took out a token and began to send a message.

The tokens of disciples from major sects all have the function of transmitting messages, and it is said that the Tianji Sect in the past also had this function.

However, a few years ago, the elder in charge of internal affairs died unexpectedly, and all his belongings were stolen. The token of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was damaged beyond repair, so they gradually gave up the communication function of the token.

Before long, the disciple of the Taixu Sect handed the token to Yu Zhiyi, and a voice came from the token: "Who are you?"

Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips, and despite some hesitation, she still revealed her identity: "This junior is Yu Zhiyi, the sixth disciple of the True Person Hongchan."

The token suddenly went silent.

The disciple guarding the mountain gate retrieved his token, and his gaze towards Yu Zhiyi changed, filled with hatred.

Yu Zhiyi looked away, refusing to look at him, and waited silently.

After a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement from within the Taixu Sect. She asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, could you please ask again when your sect plans to depart?"

The disciple said sarcastically, "Aren't you quite capable? You were able to kill our Elder Qingfeng when you were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Logically speaking, someone as powerful as you should be able to single-handedly defeat thousands of troops and wreak havoc in the Demon Clan's stronghold. Why do you need to ask for help?"

Yu Zhiyi knew that this was not the time to escalate the conflict, so she spoke kindly: "The matter of the Demon Clan is no small matter. Once they break through the defenses of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, it will inevitably spread on a large scale, and countless people will die a violent death."

"The Taixu Sect and the Tianji Sect are interdependent. Even though the Taixu Sect is strong now and the Demon Clan can't do anything to your sect for the time being, if the Demon Clan is allowed to develop, the harm it will cause is self-evident."

The disciple guarding the mountain crossed his arms and sneered, "Why are you telling me all this? I'm just a weakling in the Qi Refining Realm, and I don't have the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels."

Yu Zhiyi took a deep breath: "So I would like to ask you to inform them again..."

"I have already informed them, but what the elders above intend to do is not something a lowly mountain-guarding disciple like myself can decide."

“You are a direct disciple, so you don’t know the difficulties we outer disciples face. The higher-ups may already be discussing how to handle this matter. If I disturb the elders again, they will punish me if they get angry.”

He curled his lip dismissively: "You'd better wait and see."

Yu Zhiyi stared at him intently for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll wait."

She turned and walked to a stone stool to the side, sitting down with her back to the disciple.
