"Junior brother, you have just woken up. You should consolidate your strength. The cycle of Heaven is inevitable. If the Demon Emperor is destined to be born, it is beyond our control."

"Thank you, Third Senior Sister."

Xiu Qiyu and Feiyue began their life on Lingyun Peak. Feiyue was several hundred years older than Xiu Qiyu and had more experience in cultivation and combat. The two often started fighting after their meditation.

Fei Yue's moves are more subtle and unpredictable, often catching opponents off guard and making them difficult to defend against. Xiu Qi Yu, on the other hand, cultivates a powerful and domineering style of swordsmanship. In some ways, the two can complement each other.

Sword cultivators are mostly battle maniacs. Through combat, they can better unleash their strength and improve their combat power.

Having learned from their previous bloody lesson, both of them restrained their true energy, focusing solely on sword techniques and movement skills. Although Xiu Qiyu's sword steps were formidable, he was still defeated by Feiyue's elusive footwork.

Feiyue's embroidery needle stopped again two inches from Xiu Qiyu's throat.

"I lost." Xiu Qiyu conceded defeat decisively: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

"Did Sangyu ever tell you that you resemble someone?"

"Second Senior Brother!" Xiu Qiyu said somewhat uncertainly.

Feiyue nodded: "Second Senior Brother is the most talented among all of us, a natural sword fanatic, and the most likely to inherit the Heavenly Sword. He also has an ice-attribute spiritual root and cultivates the Dao of Annihilation. Sometimes, I really feel like he's back."

"I believe there will be a way, and Second Brother will wake up."

“Of course, that’s my second senior brother, the second senior brother who is destined to become the number one sword saint of Hailan.” Feiyue’s eyes shone brightly, making the surrounding cherry blossoms pale in comparison.

Based on their description, Xiu Qiyu was 60% certain that his second senior brother, Bing Su, was a member of the Ice Spirit Clan. In the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, he had paid an unknown price, nearly losing his life force.

However, the Ice Spirit Clan possesses a unique physique. While they cannot undergo a phoenix-like rebirth like the Phoenix Clan, they are not as fragile either. According to his guess, Bing Su must have activated the divine bloodline within her during a desperate situation, and was at a crucial moment of awakening.

However, this kind of passive awakening is extremely risky and lacks the necessary preparation. Nine times out of ten, the awakening will fail and the person will be reduced to ashes.

The reason Bing Su is still alive is probably because Master Zhang Hua made some arrangements. His inherited memories do contain a method of treatment, but a specific approach can only be decided after seeing Bing Su and understanding her specific situation.

If he were alone, he would only have a 50% chance of success, but with Xiao Yezi by his side, his chances would increase to 80%.

With the outbreak of the Demon War, the entire Azure Continent was shrouded in the shadow of war. Apart from the disciples and elders who went to the Western Regions, the disciples who stayed behind were also diligently cultivating day and night.

If the human race fails in the first battle, they will have to go to the Western Regions to fight against the demon race together.

Even Hua Rong, who was always carefree and indifferent to worldly affairs, has been keeping her mind focused on various training grounds every day, learning all kinds of techniques and skills, most importantly, lightness skills and escape skills.

This kind of large-scale battle is not like a fight on a ring, where if you are strong, you will definitely survive.

With so many people, how can we kill them all? What if we fall into a trap or ambush? If we don't have any escape skills and no expert to rescue us, we're doomed.

Qingzhiyi, Yingxun, Chiyi, and the others were either in seclusion or cultivating in their training grounds. They didn't have time to investigate the specific situation at Lingyun Peak.

Could something have happened to Xiao Yezi? Otherwise, why would they seal off Lingyun Peak for no reason? After Lingyun Peak is sealed off, their messages can't get in, and messages can't get out. The entire Lingyun Peak is shrouded in a protective array, and even if you accidentally get close, you will be attacked.

While Hua Rong and the others cultivated, they waited for the day when Lingyun Peak would reopen.

"Little Yiyi, good news, good news."

"What good news? Did you break through? You should have done it a long time ago."

"No, no, it's Lingyun Peak. The restrictions on Lingyun Peak have been broken."

"Really, let's wait a little longer. If Xiao Yezi really has any issues, she will definitely send us a message."

As a result, they waited for two days but did not receive a message from Ye Xiruo. Instead, they received a message from Xiu Qiyu, who told them that Ye Xiruo was in seclusion and that Xiu Qiyu was currently on Lingyun Peak, helping Ye Xiruo protect her.

So, the relationship between these two has been recognized by the higher-ups. Otherwise, how could someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect control the formation of Lingyun Peak? What are their true intentions?

"Our senior brother instructed us to cultivate diligently, especially to gain practical combat experience. He suggested we go to Lingyun Peak more often to spar with each other."

Hua Rong immediately cowered, looking at Qing Zhiyi with a pitiful expression: "Little Yi Yi, what cultivation level do you think Xiu Qiyu is at now? Wouldn't it be a pain for me to go up there?"

"It's better for you to come to us than for our senior brother to come to us personally, isn't it?"

Oh no, oh no! Whenever Hua Rong encounters Xiu Qiyu, her position in Qing Zhiyi's heart will only decline further and further until she becomes completely invisible.

In Qing Zhiyi's eyes, nothing is more important than Xiu Qiyu.

"I'll get beaten to death."

Qingzhiyi kicked Huarong in the butt: "You won't die, Senior Brother knows how to control himself."

Red Wing nodded in agreement: "The situation in the Demon War won't be good. Brother Xiu is just being prepared and wants to improve our strength as much as possible."

What else could Hua Rong say? With a face that looked like she was ready to die, she thought, "Let her go. Xiao Yiyi definitely won't have the heart to let that big devil Xiu Qiyu kill him."

"Alright then, let's go together tomorrow. I need to prepare properly today."

Qingzhi shook her head.

Hua Rong was unaware that the most terrifying person on Lingyun Peak was not Xiu Qiyu, but Fei Yue, who appeared harmless and more beautiful than flowers.

"I give up, help me, Xiao Yiyi!" Hua Rong was suspended in mid-air by several silk threads, her body making various movements uncontrollably.

"You're too weak," Qing Zhiyi said honestly. "So you need to train." Besides, she's the third senior sister of Tianjian Peak, the senior brother's senior sister, and represents the highest combat strength of Lingyun Peak at present.

"If you can't even last five minutes next time, the punishment will be doubled." After Fei Yue uttered these words lightly, she moved her fingers a few times, and Hua Rong immediately fell to the ground, dust billowing up.

"Little Yiyi, help!"

"Shut up."

"I broke my ribs and my leg seems to be broken too, help!"

Qingzhiyi glanced at Huarong indifferently, as if to say, "Let's continue acting," and went directly to find Xiu Qiyu.

Hua Rong, who had been lying there pretending to be dead, was instantly bound like a rice dumpling.
