"Oh no!" Ye Xiruo leaped into the air, and the chestnut cake that Chun Tian had just made fell to the ground and shattered.

The secret that the peak master didn't say, the secret that they didn't say, has now been brutally torn apart.

The massive warship began to move, initially at a slow speed, but it grew faster and faster until it disappeared into the horizon.

Ye Xiruo, dressed in purple with hair as black as clouds, stood in mid-air, her eyes filled only with sorrow and coldness.

The master left without even saying a final goodbye.

Ye Xiruo felt empty inside. This man had brought her back from Mo City and taught her with great care. He had even given her the sect leader's seal.

Who is that?

"How come I've never seen this before?"

"She has a very strong presence."

"This is the main peak. To travel by sword here is a great disrespect."

After giving a few instructions, Sect Leader Honghu left the spot.

"Young lady, why have you trespassed on the main peak?" On the main peak, a black-clad man with eyes like knives stared expressionlessly at Ye Xiruo.

"Trespassing?" Ye Xiruo frowned and slowly raised her right hand.

Those slender, jade-like hands looked like the most exquisite works of art, but no one was admiring that flawless hand. Their eyes were all focused on the seemingly ordinary ring on her finger, a simple, silver-white ring with a breathtaking sapphire set in it. They were familiar with this ring; it was the seal of the Peak Master of Lingyun Peak.

Originally, it should have been in Xue Junhan's hands, but now it has appeared in the hands of this woman. She has become the peak master of Lingyun Peak, and is on equal footing with the sect leader and elders.

Although the girl's face was still young, she possessed the air of a master.

The man in black knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Peak Master."

A group of people knelt down behind him, or bowed to greet him.

"Stand up." Ye Xiruo's gaze turned slightly cold: "The road ahead is long, what is the reason?"

"To slay demons and eliminate evil." The man in black answered earnestly.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil." Is it necessary to mobilize so many elites from within the sect? To exorcise demons and eliminate evil, is it necessary for a divine master to take action? To exorcise demons and eliminate evil, is it necessary for the sect leader to come and see us off?

"Indeed, this journey is to eliminate demons and protect the human race."

Forget it, there's no point in pressing them here. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter will probably give her a satisfactory answer.

Ye Xi Ruo flew away.

The main peak returned to calm, and the disciples who came to see them off gradually left. However, Ye Xiruo's name and face were etched in their hearts.

The youngest and most mysterious peak master in the history of Haoqi Pavilion has been born.

The master of Lingyun Peak, Xue Junhan, has already left, so no one understands his thoughts. A new leader for Lingyun Peak has already been chosen.

If it weren't for this unexpected turn of events, there would definitely be many people challenging Ye Xiruo.

But now, those who have just experienced parting are left with only sadness and confusion.

The outcome of this battle will determine the future of humanity and the fate of each and every one of them.

On the main peak of Lingyun Peak, Ye Xiruo's purple figure stirred up countless pink cherry blossoms, and a cherry blossom rain fell on the entire Lingyun Peak.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

"This servant is here."

"You can speak now."

Ye Xiruo leaned back in the white jade chair, holding a dagger in her left hand and a soft cloth in her right, carefully wiping them. Deep within her eyes, glaciers shone.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter immediately knelt down: "Please forgive us, Peak Master."

"I know this is Master's intention. Now I just want to know the truth. Or do you really think you can hide it from me forever?"

Spring gritted her teeth. They had long anticipated this day. It was already a great blessing that the Peak Master hadn't expelled them from Lingyun Peak.

"Reporting to the Peak Master, the demons have torn apart the seal, wounding several elders guarding it. Their demonic energy is spreading, slaughtering several cities in the Western Regions, and even some minor sects have fallen victim to their wickedness. Currently, the seal is still expanding, with more demons emerging from it into the human realm, devouring and bewitching countless lives. All the major sects of Hailan have mobilized their troops to the Western Regions to fight the demons to the death."

A thin line of blood appeared on Ye Xiruo's right hand as they brushed past each other, and then blood flowed down continuously, staining the grass red. However, she seemed to feel no pain. Dark clouds filled the depths of her eyes, and her whole body was filled with murderous intent.

It's actually the demon race! They've gotten themselves into this unlucky situation of a war between good and evil. Their luck is just too bad.

"Peak Master, your hand."

Ye Xiruo looked down and realized that she had accidentally cut herself. Green true energy spread from her palm, and soon the wound, whose depth was unknown, disappeared.

"The master went too."

The four of them, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, knelt on the ground, unsure how to comfort Ye Xiruo.

"The Peak Master's skills are profound; he will surely be safe and sound."

"Master will naturally be safe and sound. Tell me about those monsters." In this kind of battle, the role that an individual can play is already very small. Only top experts have the ability to influence the course of the battle.

Clearly, she wasn't a top-tier fighter, and given her health issues, the reason her master went to such lengths to bring over Brother Xiu Qi and Fei Yue was to ensure she could stay at Lingyun Peak with peace of mind.

She was also given the sect leader's seal to prevent her from being bullied.

Master, you must return safely.

"Demons have sharp horns on their heads, are incredibly strong, immortal, and bewitch people and devour living beings."

As Ye Xiruo flipped through the book, she complained, "Who wrote this book? There's no scientific basis at all."

Immortal and indestructible? That's already godlike. What's the point of the human race fighting? They'll just have to pack up and surrender sooner or later.

As for lower-level demons, they are mentally deficient and have little intelligence beyond their bloodthirsty, murderous, and devouring instincts, making them easy to deal with.

The high-ranking demons are handsome and devilish in appearance, invulnerable to weapons, and possess immense strength. They can also devour low-ranking demons to replenish their own strength. Most importantly, they possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans.

Unlike humans, demons do not cultivate by transforming the primordial energy of heaven and earth into their own, ultimately achieving unity with heaven and earth and cultivating the supreme Dao with the help of the power of heaven and earth.

A crucial factor in determining the strength of the demon race is their bloodline and inherited cultivation techniques; the difference in their levels is almost an insurmountable chasm.

Demons also have weaknesses; every demon has a fatal weakness. Finding this weakness allows for easy killing. The fatal weaknesses of lower-level demons are their hearts and their two horns.

Higher-level demons are adept at hiding their weaknesses, and each demon has a different weakness, making them very difficult to deal with.

But one thing is certain: the demon race fears light and fire.

If Ye Xi had closed the book and hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been truly unimaginable.
