"If she is unwilling, this disciple will never act recklessly like Ling Xiao and the others!" Shen Daochen pleaded earnestly.

"Moreover, the great war between the evil cultivators and the cultivation world is imminent, and there is a shortage of manpower at this time. With my cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, I can be of some help."

He no longer cares about his condition or whether he is fit for a fight.

"If you let your disciple live a little longer, your disciple will definitely fight with all his might for the cultivation world. Even if he dies on the battlefield, it will still be a worthwhile death and will salvage some of the image of the Flying Cloud Sect."

"If I am fortunate enough to survive, I will leave myself to the esteemed ancestors to do as they see fit. I will accept any punishment."

The ancestors simply watched him silently, their expressions clearly showing disbelief in his words.

After all, they had already read Shen Daochen's memories and knew what kind of people the Flying Cloud Sect was now, so Shen Daochen's words had no credibility whatsoever.

Shen Daochen took a deep breath, raised his hand and swore, "This disciple swears by the Heavenly Dao that I will definitely do all of the above. If I fail to do so, may this disciple explode and die!"

Even in his dreams, Shen Daochen was still able to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

The crowd heard a symbolic clap of thunder, signifying that his oath was fulfilled.

"Now, should all the venerable ancestors be able to trust their disciple?"

After pondering for a moment, the ancestors, recalling the fate of the cultivation world that Shen Sangri had told them, finally agreed to Shen Daochen's request.

We must prioritize the overall situation.

This can be considered a way to make use of scum like Shen Daochen.

Once the matter was settled, the ancestors immediately kicked him out of the dream, not wanting to let Shen Daochen stay for even a second longer.

"Get lost! Don't hang around in front of Sang Ruo if you have nothing to do, you're a disgrace!"

Alas, such a talented young man, and just like that, he's gone!

Li Lihui felt annoyed just looking at this thing.

If he doesn't kick Shen Daochen out soon, he really won't be able to resist killing this damn thing.

When Shen Daochen regained consciousness, his heart was pounding wildly, as if he had been reborn, and he was panting heavily.

Swallowing hard, without having time to make any other preparations, he stood up, grabbed the red jade hairpin, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the sect.

He's going to the front lines now!

On the way, they happened to encounter Feng Heyun, who was "homeless" and wandering around the sect.

Seeing his hurried manner, Feng Heyun vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

He inquired about the situation from other members of the sect and learned that a battle between the cultivation world and the evil cultivators was imminent, which instantly brought him to his senses.

It is still unclear what Shen Daochen's purpose was in hastily leaving the sect.

Moreover, having once been part of the same group of six, he knew that the only thing that could make Shen Daochen show such an expression was something related to Shen Sangruo.

He is determined to get to the bottom of this.

Perhaps he can use this opportunity to atone for his sins and be freed from this predicament.

An indescribable excitement rose in Feng Heyun's heart, and he quickly caught up with the Flying Cloud Sect team that was going to provide support by riding his sword.

Holding the red jade hairpin in his hand, Shen Daochen kept imagining what it would be like if Shen Sangruo regained her feelings for him.

He didn't ask for anything, he only hoped that she could call him "father" again, then he would have no regrets in this life.

He and she were, after all, father and daughter, and their relationship was something that no one else could match.

If she hadn't detached herself from her emotions back then, she probably wouldn't have made such a decisive choice to sever ties with her family and clan.

He knew his daughter well; he knew she valued emotions. She had been like that to them in the past, and she was like that to the people of Ninghua Sect now.

Therefore, he was certain that once he regained his feelings, she would never treat him the way she had before.

Shen Daochen was still thinking that perhaps by then, Shen Sangruo would still be reluctant to let him die and would plead for him in front of the elders.

Those ancestors loved Shen Sangruo so much; if she had forgiven him, they might not have been so insistent on executing him.

With that thought in mind, he arrived at the front line.

Ahead, Shen Sangruo had already led her people to clear out an open area, which was the location connecting the two world passages.

People from other sects are working diligently to set up line after line of defense.

In less than a day, the defenses at the front line took shape, demonstrating remarkable efficiency.

"Hurry up! We only have half a month. After that, those evil cultivators will return to the cultivation world!" Gu Ci Zhenjun said sternly.

Everyone's expression was unusually serious; just looking at them made you feel as if you couldn't breathe.

At this moment, the imminent battle between Shen Daochen and the Flying Cloud Sect became concrete.

Infected by this atmosphere, he couldn't help but straighten his posture and adjust his expression.

They brought the people from the Flying Cloud Sect to Shen Sangruo.

This was the first time the two had met since she became the sect leader, and Shen Daochen could clearly sense that she was much more composed and mature than before.

Looking at the attire she wore, which belonged exclusively to the Ninghua Sect Master, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke to her:

“Sang Ruo, Feiyun Sect received the message, so I brought people here to provide support. We also brought all the remaining magical artifacts and treasures from Feiyun Sect. What do you think we should do with them?”

In her heart, she was thinking about what she would look like if she wore the robes of the Flying Cloud Sect Master, her eyes filled with regret and remorse.

Shen Sanruo glanced at Shen Daochen, not expecting that Shen Daochen would personally bring people here, after all, the reply from Feiyun Sect mentioned that Shen Daochen was still ill.

Judging from Shen Daochen's current condition, he does indeed appear somewhat unwell.

Shen Daochen became nervous under her gaze, his chaotic thoughts immediately stopped, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the red jade hairpin in his hand.

In just a few months, Shen Sangruo's aura had become so sharp and oppressive.

Her glance was brief; she quickly looked away and continued with what she was doing.

"Take the people to the eastern defense line. There are fewer people there. The Alchemy Sect is there. Sect Master Zhong Chuan will tell you what to do."

“The Nascent Soul stage cultivators need not go. They should stay behind to familiarize themselves with the terrain and discuss preparations for battle.”

They have half a month more than those evil cultivators. They can use this half month to do many things and gain an advantage.

Ten thousand years ago, those evil cultivators laid so many traps in the cultivation world. Now, it's their turn to wait for the evil cultivators to fall into their schemes.

All the Nascent Soul and lower-level cultivators of the Flying Cloud Sect went to the east, leaving behind only the Deity Transformation stage cultivators, including Shen Daochen.

Oh, and Feng Heyun, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, also stayed behind.

Shen Sanruo immediately noticed this incongruous person and coldly asked him, "Are you also a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"

Shen Daochen was surprised that Feng Heyun had also come along. Both of them thought that the other wanted to pester Shen Sangruo.

He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, about to scold her, when Feng Heyun turned around and followed the group to the east.
