Lu Hengge remained cautious.

His strength has only recovered a little. If he were to clash head-on with the demon army, he wouldn't have time to absorb anything and would be crushed.

so.

He needs to nibble away at it little by little.

but.

Lu Henge didn't need to worry about being discovered.

With his seventy-two transformations as a means of control, Lu Henge could remain hidden in the shadows, plotting against people from time to time.

Beyond the ancient boundary.

Lu Henge turned into an ordinary stone, floating in the starry sky.

He had originally thought he would witness the magnificent scene of the demon army's mighty invasion of the ancient realm, but to his surprise, the area outside the ancient realm was deserted, without a single demon army warrior in sight.

Lu Henge was stunned for a moment.

"No way."

Could it be that... the demon army has already broken in?

Is the ancient world really that weak?

Lu Henge cautiously drifted towards the entrance to the ancient realm. At the entrance, Lu Henge stopped; the worst outcome had still occurred.

The demon army breached the ancient realm in the shortest time. Judging from the damage at the entrance, it was a one-sided, massive attack by the demon army, and the creatures within the ancient realm showed no signs of resistance.

Lu Henge frowned.

A desperate resistance that ultimately ends in defeat is a sign of insufficient strength; but to not even resist is pure cowardice.

If it were a small world, Lu Henge could understand, since the creatures in small worlds are not strong to begin with, and when faced with annihilation, struggling would only lead to a more painful death.

But this is the ancient realm.

The beings who can live in the ancient world are born at a point in time that beings in smaller worlds would never dare to dream of.

Despite having such a high starting point and possessing a unique cultivation environment and resources in the ancient world, the personality cultivated is so cowardly.

Lu Henge couldn't understand.

Enter the ancient realm.

The demon army's attack route was very uniform; they were almost pushing forward in one direction.

Lu Henge observed the surroundings.

really!

The creatures of the ancient realm offered no resistance whatsoever.

Bloodstains were everywhere.

Some time has passed.

Lu Henge began to find corpses with their internal organs removed on the road, which meant that the demon army was full and they started to eat only the delicious internal organs, discarding the rest of the body.

"Taoism did not intervene."

Lu Henge did not sense any trace of Daoist energy remaining. There were only two possibilities in this situation: either the people sent by the Daoist sect were crushed by the demon army before they could even make a move, or the Daoist sect did not send anyone out at all.

Lu Hengge prefers the latter.

after all.

Taoist disciples always have trump cards up their sleeves, whether it's their cultivation techniques or magical treasures, so they're not left without even a chance to use them.

Lu Henge scoffed.

He didn't have much sympathy for the beings of the ancient world. In the cultivation world, death was the norm, so there wasn't much compassion for the world.

Lu Henge found it ironic that Taoism, the number one religion in the ancient world, was revered and worshipped by the beings of the ancient world, yet at this moment it was sitting idly by.

Taoism and Buddhism seem to be no different.

The great battle between Buddhism and Taoism back then, regardless of who won, would have led to the situation we see today.

Suddenly.

Lu Henge's heart stirred.

Someone is coming.

Lu Henge turned into a small blade of grass by the roadside.

The next second.

Several figures appeared in the air.

Judging from their attire, they should be disciples of the Jie Sect, and the three women at the head of the group are naturally the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

Lu Henge's perception had not weakened; he could still sense the surging Daoist energy within the Three Immortal Maidens.

This level of Taoist charm would certainly not be considered low in status within Taoism.

A disciple of the Jie Sect, his face pale, pointed to the corpses on the ground: "Three Immortal Maidens, we followed the right route; they went in this direction."

Upon hearing this...

Yunxiao uttered only one word: "Chase".

Apart from Bixiao and Qiongxiao, the other disciples of the Jie Sect looked pale and hesitant. They had not yet witnessed the terror of the demon army, but they were still afraid in their bones.

Yunxiao sighed inwardly.

The disciples of the Jie Sect today have increasingly poor mental fortitude.

But we can't blame these disciples.

Firstly.

Taoism held an absolute dominant position in the ancient world for so many years. As long as the word "Taoism" was mentioned, there would be no trouble or difficulty whatsoever.

Taoist disciples don't need to take action; they only need to identify themselves to resolve all problems.

This results in Taoist disciples having very little practical experience.

Secondly.

The siege of Emperor Xin in those years still left a shadow in the hearts of many Taoist disciples.

Emperor Xin killed many Taoist disciples.

The death of their fellow disciples made all Taoist disciples realize one thing: they too could die.

There will always be some hotheads in this world who are not afraid of your Taoist name.

For example, Emperor Xin.

so.

Taoist disciples must learn to distinguish who they can provoke and who they cannot.

It's obvious.

The overwhelming army of demons is one of those that should not be provoked.

Yunxiao didn't want to force the issue, so he said, "If you are afraid, you can return to Taoism now. I will not mention this matter to the Heavenly Venerable."

The other disciples exchanged glances, then cupped their hands in greeting: "We are willing to go!"

Yunxiao nodded.

We're getting closer and closer to the demon army, and there's still a chance to turn back. But if we rush forward any further, there might not be a chance to turn back.
