Shen Qingyi was assigned to live in a farmer's house in the village. The simple thatched house was decorated cleanly and tidy by the owner.

The owner of the thatched house is an elderly woman. As she is old and her children have already started their own families, the old woman often lives with her children, so the house has been empty all year round.

This time, it just so happened that the old woman went to visit her daughter's relatives again, and Shen Qingyi was arranged to stay here by the village chief.

Shen Qingyi stayed in the village for three days and his injuries were completely healed.

She planned to say goodbye to the villagers of Xiaomeng Village tomorrow under the pretext of going out of the village with the villagers who were out shopping.

At night, the village has become quiet.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The sharp whistle woke up Shen Qingyi who was meditating.

Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power, Shen Qingyi became alert.

The villagers in the village were also awakened by the sound and came out of their houses one after another.

The village chief and several young and strong men held torches.

But at this moment, the fiercely burning torches seemed to have no effect in the night.

Because at this time, the originally dark night sky above the horizon had been dyed half red by the flames.

Some villagers couldn't help but exclaim.

"What is that?!"

A huge firebird was circling in the sky, roaring angrily and fighting with several cultivators around it.

Magic attacks were scattered in all directions, and several trees in the forest had already been damaged by the battle. Raging fires were burning from all directions.

The battle in the sky is still going on fiercely.

The villagers below were panicked.

"Oh no! The fire is burning here!"

The village chief was trembling as he leaned on his crutch, his voice dry and hoarse.

"Everyone, get out of here! Get out now!"

“But…but…”

Some elderly people in the village were reluctant to leave the village where they had lived for half their lives, and hesitated where they were.

"Those who are young and strong, leave quickly! As for those who don't want to leave... follow me and defend the village to the death!"

The village chief looked somewhat helpless.

At this moment, whether they are willing or not, facing this irresistible force, any struggle is tantamount to a waste of effort.

If we eliminate the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, perhaps some people will still have a chance of survival.

Xiaomeng Village has lived in this area for hundreds of years. Because it is under the jurisdiction of Lingdao Sect, there are no treasures nearby. It is only a trial site that some low-level cultivators go to.

They were on the periphery, so they lived in peace for many years.

Living in the world of immortal cultivation, they had long understood the importance of life and death, but they had never imagined that when faced with it, they would still be unable to let go...

Shen Qing looked unhappy. The clothes worn by several foundation-building disciples who were fighting with the high-level foundation-building monster in the sky were not those of the Lingdao Sect, but those of the Yuling Sect in the southern part of the Eastern Region.

The five major immortal sects once explicitly stipulated that within their respective territories, except for competing for major trial opportunities, disciples were not allowed to resort to violence and injure innocent people in the territories under the jurisdiction of other sects.

The five major immortal sects have always adhered to this agreement on the surface.

As for those who secretly exploit loopholes, if they are discovered, they will naturally be punished. If they are not discovered...

At this time, these people were actually wearing the uniforms of inner disciples of the Yuling Sect. They were fighting a demon beast in the advanced foundation-building stage within the jurisdiction of the Lingdao Sect, and they ignored the cultivators and mortals below!

This is undoubtedly a naked provocation to the Lingdao Sect!
